CO2 Tech to Present
Governor Rendell of Pennsylvania With Action Plan to
Solve Soil Contamination in the State
LONDON, Feb. 5, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- CO2 Tech
(Pink Sheets:CTTD) President, Ms. Helga Schotten,
today announced that CO2 Tech is working on its
proposed action plan to solve soil contamination in
the State of Pennsylvania, USA, as part of the
state's efforts to protect and restore
Pennsylvania's natural resources.
Pennsylvania is plagued with environmental
challenges. More than any other state in the U.S.,
Pennsylvania suffers the hazards of abandoned mines.
There are more than 2,000 abandoned and flooding
mine pools statewide, discharging polluted water
from about 5,000 known points that threaten the
health of rivers and streams.
More than 3,000 miles of streams are impaired by
polluted mine drainage -- greater than the distance
between Harrisburg and Las Vegas; $60 million in
recreational spending is lost due to acid mine
drainage in good fishing streams. Furthermore, 8,529
acres of unreclaimed coal refuse piles contain at
least 258 million tons of waste coal that scar the
landscape and cause pollution. Pennsylvania also has
more than 10,000 chemical-contaminated sites in need
of cleanup and redevelopment.
CO2 is currently working on a detailed action
plan to reduce soil contamination in Pennsylvania,
and reclaim contaminated sites. The action plan will
be carried out in conjunction with the state
government, which is highly motivated to initiate
cleanup and reclamation operations as soon as
possible. After analysis of all relevant data, CO2
will present its action plan for approval by
Governor Rendell.
About Pennsylvania's Growing Greener II
Initiative:
From Pittsburgh to Philadelphia and Harrisburg to
Scranton, newspapers have given Growing Greener II
rave reviews. As a critical effort to revitalize
towns and cities all across Pennsylvania, the
Governor and his cabinet have taken the message of a
reinvigorated Pennsylvania to every corner of the
state. The response has been fantastic.
Growing Greener II will help clean up polluted
streams, reclaim abandoned mines and clean up
brownfields, fund important farm preservation and
open space protection initiatives, invest in clean
energy sources, improve recreation resources and
inject new life into Pennsylvania's communities.
Through voter approval on May 17, 2005 of a $625
million bond issue, Growing Greener II is the best
step the state can take to create a vibrant
Pennsylvania that everyone desires. "Commendably,
Gov. Ed Rendell recognizes the value and importance
of preserving open space, including farmland, and
proposes to do something about it in significant
fashion," noted the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette on the
Growing Greener II initiative.
