Joel Minor, Attorney, Rocky Mountain Office: “[The decision] ignored a mountain of evidence that the Elyria-Swansea and Globeville neighborhoods are already overburdened by pollution, not only from the highway, but also from many other toxic hazards that threaten their health.”

Marianne Engelman Lado, Attorney: "To say it's disappointing is an understatement, that after all these years of sitting on the complaint, EPA would just close the case. There's no question that the Ashurst Bar/Smith community is going to keep fighting the landfill to protect their community."
