Presenter describes plutonium contamination, cleanup and ongoing monitoring at Rocky Flats' former 903 Pad A presenter on a Rocky Flats site tour described historical drum storage at the 903 Pad that released plutonium and solvents in the 1950s–60s, partial removal of contaminated soil (about 38 acres), and ongoing groundwater and surface-water monitoring, including erosion controls and a DOE-funded Stanley Lake protection bypass.

Thousands of drums stored decades ago at Rocky Flats leaked plutonium and solvents, leaving a legacy of contamination that is still being monitored today.

Mining made this US tribal area a toxic wasteland. This Indigenous nation brought it back to life The Quapaw Nation is the only US Native community to carry out a cleanup of one of the country’s worst sites of environmental contamination

Excellent piece in The Guardian this past Sunday, providing an update on the past decade of #industrialcleanup and #soilremediation in NE Oklahoma, under the strwardship of the Quapaw Nation

DNR opens contamination case after Thomas Street tests find lead, dioxins and groundwater chemicals The Wisconsin DNR opened an environmental contamination case for Area A of Wausau's Thomas Street corridor after Phase 2 testing found lead and dioxins/furans in shallow fill soils and volatile organic compounds in deeper saturated soils; the city must hire a consultant by March 13 and submit a site-investigation work plan by April 12.

Wausau's Thomas Street corridor is facing an environmental crisis as tests reveal alarming levels of lead and dioxins, prompting the DNR to launch a contamination case!

Sierra Madre council affirms Meadows design review, adds soil testing record after residents raise dioxin concerns City staff told the council that soil remediation at the Meadows at Bailey Canyon is complete after testing found elevated contaminants in one spot; residents and an appellant pressed for supplemental CEQA review and broader retesting. Council approved the design review permit and asked staff to attach the soil testing timeline to the record.

Sierra Madre's City Council has approved the controversial Meadows at Bailey Canyon design, despite alarming soil contamination concerns raised by residents.

Council authorizes letter pressing state for remediation after officials report remaining contamination near Laconia water supply The council authorized the city manager to send a letter to NH DES and other officials about petroleum contamination at 1467 Lakeshore Road in Guilford; Laconia Water superintendent said testing shows contamination has fallen but remains roughly 90 times acceptable levels in some spots and remediation is stalled pending a private culvert replacement.

Laconia's City Council is taking action against soil contamination that threatens the water supply, demanding urgent support for remediation efforts at a site near Walmart.

ADEQ: Contamination at Chino Valley Circle K confined to soil above aquitard; groundwater not impacted, remediation continues ADEQ told the Chino Valley Town Council that site characterization of the Circle K underground storage tank release is complete, contamination is limited to soil above a clay aquitard (about 150 feet), and active soil vapor extraction is removing contaminant mass. ADEQ disputed Circle Ks initial 79,000'86,000-gallon loss estimate, saying the data

Contamination from the Circle K fuel release in Chino Valley is contained, but ongoing remediation efforts are crucial—find out what ADEQ discovered and what's next!
