In 1996, the U S. domestic lead industry was comprised of 17 mines located primarily in Alaska, Colorado, Idaho, Missouri, and Montana two primary smelter-refineries in Missouri a primary smelter in Montana and 25 secondary (recycling) producers operating 31 plants. Of the lead recycled in 1996, 99% was produced by 10 companies operating 17 plants in Alabama, California, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Louisiana, Minnesota, Missouri, New York, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Texas. Lead is also sold by the Defense National Stockpile Center (DNSC) as a result of legislation passed in 1992 authorizing the disposal of the entire 545,000 metric tons in the stockpile over several years. The law, however, requires the task to be completed without undue disruption of commercial lead markets (Larrabee 1997 Smith 1998). [Pg.380]
