Found this image of Ozark from 1904. Thought it was an interesting look into the past. Look at all those rolling hills, you dont see those any more near the mill. It also seems that Ozarks Lead mines were still in operation. I wonder how much lead will be put into the air with all this development.
Lead is a neurotoxin that can affect development in children and have adverse affects on adults as well. Ozark was pulling out a 180 Tons of Lead from its mine in Elk Valley and other parts of Christian County. Lead does not leach from the soil It stays indefinitely. Its damage to the body in irreversible.
