[edit] May 2006

The article on Rainier should mention that Trojan was built on the site of an old Indian burial ground. The reason it was decommissioned was that cracks were found in the steam tubes, the latest in a series of structural problems that closed the plant periodically. And on May 21, 2006, the cooling tower was imploded.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.78.69.181 (talk • contribs) 15:21, May 21, 2006

Actually, if Trojan really was built on a burial ground, that info should be in the Trojan article itself, not in Rainier. Also, I cleaned up some text that I think better make the statement that the original author was trying to say. Bryan2000 06:55, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

the name comes from the 'trojan powder company' who had a powder dump on the site for many years. as for being a burial site---its on solid rock--- you can't bury anything there.

I do understand that the natives had a habit of dumping the bodies of the dead on rocky outcroppings along the river such as on Coffin Rock in Longview, and its possible that the rocky outcroppings in the Prescott area were similarly used but that doesn't make them a burial ground.Rvannatta 05:44, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
