Episode 5: Presentation Part One: Is it Safe?

Show Notes: In this episode, we’ll hear part one of a panel discussion aimed at answering three critical questions about the Smurfit Stone complex: 1) Is it safe? 2) Is it leaking? and 3) Is it legal? Part one features expert insights from Karin Boyd, an experienced geomorphologist who authored a recent study mapping the future migration path of the Clark Fork River. Karin discusses what we know about the ever-changing river Clark Fork river channel, how this migration is likely to impact the Smurfit site, and the risks to human health and the environment.
