UPDATE:
I previously blogged on a recent Tribune package revealing Kennecott Copper's decision to cover up for two decades the dangers their tailings compound posed to nearby residents.

I also reminded residents of Kennecott Land's South Jordan development Daybreak that buyers were required to sign "environmental issues" disclosure forms that would make it difficult for them to sue Kennecott Land if they had problems with their property. I included a hyperlink to the 2006 Tribune story about Daybreak's closing documents.

Daybreak lies on what used to be mining evaporation ponds that once held runoff water contaminated with heavy metals. Following an agreement with the state in 1994, Kennecott and local governments have spent $100 million to clean up the area.

Still, Daybreak buyers are asked to sign a document stating, "While such sulfate, lead, arsenic and other metals in the groundwater may render the underground water undrinkable, they do not pose a health or safety concern or threat to individuals who may live, work or recreate in Daybreak." Daybreak's drinking water comes from the Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District.

A Daybreak official, thinking the Trib gratuitously had rerun the two-year old story, called to complain. Not to worry, we did not republish the story. We just linked it to this blog.
