[edit]

The articles relevence is based around environmentalism. The site creates multiple environmental hazards, but in it's current state actually works to solve said problems.

The article currently doesn't touch on it heavily, but the Weldon Springs site is now a superfund site which is in fact a 45-acre disposal cell. It contains 4800 cubic yards of asbestos, 100,000 cubic yards of contaminated debris, 1,180,000 cubic yards of contaminated soils, and many other environmetally-harmful materials.

Furthermore, the Weldon Springs site was a municions plant of large importance during WW2, and later served as a uranium processing plant. --The previous unsigned comment was made at 10:56, 16 November 2006 by 204.184.37.2

notability

[edit]

The notability of this organization is currently unclear, since no secondary sources are cited. By the notability criteria for organizations, independent reliable sources are required to make sure that the subject is notable. These sources might be press coverage about W.S.O.W., or books in which the site is mentioned. Judging by the article's content, such sources should certainly exist; it's jst that none of them have been cited in the article.

Please add sources to the article. For the time being, I am replacing the “importance” tag with “notability”. Sorted as part of the Notability wikiproject. --B. Wolterding 17:59, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As a teen I swam in this Quarry many times. Are their any health risks I should currently worry about? Cancer, liver disease? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.238.149.167 (talk) 08:42, 26 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dated information / lack of information

[edit]

The article talks about the environmental problems but says nothing of how they have been addressed or are being addressed, what the status of the cleanup is, anything about the interpretive museum on site, or the hike to the top of the containment structure. --Kbh3rdtalk 04:36, 14 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
