EPA Addressing Soil Contamination in Missouri
Associated Press |
POTOSI, Mo. (AP) - Officials from the Environmental Protection
Agency will be in eastern Missouri this week to outline soil
contamination cleanup plans in three towns - Potosi, Old Mines and
Richwoods.
The Park Hills Daily Journal reports that community meetings
will be Tuesday in Potosi concerning cleanup in Potosi and Old
Mines, and Wednesday in Richwoods.
All three towns are in Washington County, part of the "Old Lead
Belt" region where lead was mined for hundreds of years, leaving
contamination in soil and groundwater. EPA for years has been
cleaning up contaminated residential properties.
EPA believe about 870 properties still require cleanup in
Potosi, 396 in Old Mines and 98 in Richwoods.
