Jack,

We don't know what they will liberate with their smelter. It depends on what compounds they form with the precipitate. All of those metals don't just precipitate by themselves. Chances are that what ever they mix with will be liberated by smelting. Copper smelters drive off the sulfur from copper sulfide. This used to go to atmosphere. Now it all has to be captured. Copper smelters are now big producers of sulfuric acid. Even if they don't release anything they will probably have to apply for permit to prove to the state. That is usually the way it works, especially for little guys. You ask the state, Do I need a permit and the state says we don't know. Fill out all of the forms, tell us what you are doing, send us money and we will get back with you.

Little guy,

Tim Hall

Jack: As to a furnace permit, I personally have no idea if this will be a problem or not. I can relate that Russell has said he didn't think it would be a problem, especially now that they no longer use lead in the process.

Regards,

Jeff
