As you may recall, Scott McMurray with the wall Street
Journal has been working on a story involving Superfund and
the Krummrich landfill which is one of the Sauget Sites
targeted for remediation by the state of Illinois. We've
received calls this week checking several facts in the story
and have reason to believe the publication might run this
story in the near future. They may reference the recent
stock drop and the Brio settlement as the lead into a larger
story about what is on the horizon for Monsanto relating to
environmental cleanups.
'
The Chemical Group has an action plan to communicate with the local community should the story be very damaging and also has preparedness statements for any subsequent media inquiries.
Sincerely,
Diane Herndon
