"Since 1973, the residents of Kellner Canyon, worried about the quality of their well water, have hauled their water from Globe’s city spigot three miles away. Bob McKusick, who lives on property either side of Kellner Creek and keeps a number of goats believes; “The chemicals are locked inside the clay underground, but when it rains they are released.” He believes his goats are like miners canaries and after a period of very heavy rain one kid was born with reproductive organs backwards, two more were born without anal openings, a fourth was born with a cleft palate and grew very little."
Fact in 1986 the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) had tested Kellner Canyon as part of the National Dioxin Study. They found the highest dioxin concentration anywhere in America on the helipad site above Globe. San Carlos drainage basin is down flow from the Pinal Range, with Gila County having the highest rate of cancers per capita than any other county in the United States.
