Is this the latest urban myth?

Perhaps someone knowledgeable about Lancashire could help with
a rumour about Foot-and-Mouth which is circulating.  It is alleged
that, a couple of weeks before any public announcement of Foot-
and-Mouth, queries were being made about plastic lining of old
mines in Lancashire for disposal of animal carcases.  Anyone else
heard about this?
