Exploring EPA Superfund Sites 2005/06
There are tens of thousands of abandoned hazardous-waste sites
in our nation. Superfund—an Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) project—is the federal government’s program to clean up
those areas. Launched in 1999, under the Superfund program,
abandoned, accidentally spilled, or illegally dumped hazardous
waste that poses a current or future threat to human health or the
environment is cleaned up. A Superfund site is any land in the
country that the EPA has identified as a candidate for cleanup.

Expo '97
NEARLY TWO years ago, AMA District X Vice President Rich Hanson had an idea: "Since it looks as though the Nats (National Aeromodeling Championships) will stay in Muncie, we wanted something that would bring District X area modelers together, something with appeal to all modelers, something with youth appeal, something open for participation by modelers regardless of their skill level, and something with public allure as well." That "something" turned out to be Expo '97 - a huge challenge, but the District X modelers and clubs were up to it! The San Jose, California area was chosen as the venue because of the many strong, dedicated clubs in the area. "We were very excited about the prospect of involving the area clubs in the implementation of the event," said Don Goeschl, one of the event coordinators. "We planned a nine-day event, August 30 through September 7, culminating in a giant Aeromodeling Expo and vendor show at Moffett Federal Airfield."
