Born and raised. Almost my entire family works or worked in the area.

GE, westinghouse, Flour, Bectel, Battel etc.

I live up and to the west of Rocky Flats. There are some old timers that moved up here when they worked there because it is pretty close. They say the would never live anywhere near or to the east of Rocky Flats......EVER.
I can't imagine anyone would live in that new Candelas subdivision, but it looks like they are gonna start building soon, infrastructure looks to be in place now.

I'm pretty close to Standley Lake. Maybe this explains my carrots?

Mine moved to Alaska back in the 60's... My grandma remembers the '64 earthquake.
My father then went to school in Ohio, but we returned to Alaska in 1980.

I also read a bit of material that a secretary there wrote...about radioactive material being mixed into cement and poured into molds to from large blocks...and that a year later some of the blocks still hadn't hardened. Other molds that leaked the mix into the ground there and she claimed it ended up in the water supply for Arvada.
