That's going to take a while. That place is beyond f-ed. Lots of places in WY are. A bunch of vandals have had a lot of fun "exploring" it and tagging it for decades though. Probably going to end up with cancer or something for their efforts.

>In the 1980s, residential neighbors of the Nedlog and Williams Strategic Metals property about 2.5 miles south of Laramie began complaining about an orange plume of smoke from the plant that they believed was making them and their animals sick.
That kicked off an investigation, one that eventually found arsenic in the groundwater and soils surrounding the plant, as well as mercury contamination in at least one building.
In 1988, Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality revoked the plant’s operating permit, shutting it down, which was triggered by the discovery the company changed some of its processes without adequate notice.
Thus began a decades-long marathon of cleanup efforts at the site. Now finally, that marathon may be closing in on a finish.
