Option 1

 * Article title: Rocky Mountain Arsenal
 * Article Evaluation:
 * What other forms of environmental activism took place to protest the environmental degradation of this land that is not traced through governmental agencies like the EPA? The article mentions farmers that complained about it affecting their crops...where other groups outspoken?
 * The "site selection," section is relatively short, I am reminded of the Pullido reading and her examination of siting, the articles states the selection was in part because, "a sufficient labor force to work at the site," I'm curious in a further exploration of this and the intentionality behind choosing this site.
 * The article mentions the death of about 20,000 ducks in a ten year period, how did it effect other animals and ecological processes and what are the felt consequences to this day?
 * Are there first hand accounts of people who lived on or near the arsenal?
 * Under the section, "epidemiological studies," there is mention of longstanding agricultural and health concerns and political and legal battles but does not name the litigations and court cases and go into specific detail.
 * Section on the future of the Rocky Mountain Arsenal? What is the prediction for this land and its revitalization, important to mention that there has been rapid development in Commerce City, specifically single family home developments. What does this mean for residents that are closer to the now life wildlife refuge.
