  Herculaneum Missouri   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Modern Herculaneum is certainly not a wealthy resort getaway as was its ancient namesake.
Herculaneum used to have a town center with little shops; it was only a block -- a bar, a barber, an office or two -- but it anchored the town.
The terrain on the Missouri side of the river is too rugged, while the flood plain on the Illinois side is occasionally too wet.

HERCULANEUM, Missouri (CNN) -- For more than 100 years, the biggest lead smelter in the United States has been the biggest landmark in the small Missouri town of Herculaneum.
In Herculaneum, about 30 miles south of St. Louis, all the playgrounds are closed and signs warn children not to play on the streets.
The EPA said the Doe Run Co. smelter has polluted earth, air and water with lead, and it is asking more than 90 families to move out of their homes while their yard soil is replaced and houses cleaned up.

In Herculaneum, Missouri, a small town of about 2,800 people 30 miles south of St. Louis, 28 percent of children under age six have unsafe levels of lead in their blood.
In some areas of town, blood-lead levels are even higher.(1) Parents hose down swingsets in their backyards to remove lead particles before their children play on them, and some backyards have such high levels of lead that it's unsafe for children to play there at all.
Lead dust from the ore-hauling trucks, air emissions from the smelter, and runoff from veritable mountains of smelter waste are released to the environment.

The Court's ruling holds particular significance for the community of Herculaneum, Missouri, where the nation's largest lead smelter has been operating since the 1890's.
A substantial percentage of Herculaneum's children have been lead poisoned, and lead has contaminated many yards and streets.
Although the air in Herculaneum finally came into compliance with the outdated lead air standard in late 2002 (except for a violation during the first quarter of 2005), officials predict that yards and streets that were previously cleaned will be recontaminated within the next 3-4 years.

 Doe Run Shares National Ambient Air Quality Standard Results   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
St. Louis, MO (PRWEB) October 3, 2006 -- The Doe Run Company announced today that its Herculaneum, Mo., smelter facility exceeded the National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for lead in the third quarter of 2006 at the Broad Street monitor.
While nine of 10 air monitoring stations have consistently met the standard, this single monitor, located 200 yards west of the facility, has been slightly over or under the standard since the 2000 State Implementation Plan (SIP) was completed in July 2002.
According to data collected by Doe Run, final third-quarter results from strategically positioned air monitors in Herculaneum ranged from 0.1 to 1.6 micrograms of lead per cubic meter of air, placing the area just outside the EPA-specified air quality standard of 1.5 micrograms of lead per cubic meter of air (averaged over a calendar quarter).
