About Picher

Picher is a phantom town and previous city in Ottawa County, Oklahoma, United States. This was a noteworthy national focus of lead and zinc mining at the core of the Tri-State Mining District. Over an era of unlimited subsurface unearthing perilously undermined the majority of Picher's town structures and left monster heaps of harmful metal-polluted mine tailings known as talk loaded all through the zone. The disclosure of the collapse dangers, groundwater sullying, and wellbeing impacts related with the talk heaps and subsurface shafts brought about the site being incorporated into 1980 in the Tar Creek Superfund Site by the US Environmental Protection Agency.

The state teamed up on moderation and remediation measures, however a recent report found that 34% of the kids in Picher experienced lead harming because of these ecological impacts, which could bring about deep rooted neurological problems. Eventually the EPA and the territory of Oklahoma consented to an obligatory departure and buyout of the whole township. The also sullied satellite towns of Treece, Kansas and Cardin, Oklahoma were incorporated into the Tar Creek Superfund site.
