EPA public sessions for Grenada

ATLANTA - The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will host two public availability sessions May 15 in Grenada, Miss., from noon to 3 p.m. and 5-8 p.m. at the Grenada City Auditorium to accommodate area residents to come learn about upcoming sampling activities in the Eastern Heights neighborhood. Afterwards, from May 16-18, EPA will test outdoor air in the neighborhood for trichloroethene (TCE). The data will inform future sampling planned for July 2018 of indoor air and air under the foundations of homes located over the TCE-contaminated groundwater plume. EPA is also working with potentially responsible parties to conduct additional sampling needed at the 40-acre facility on 635 Highway 332 (now operated by Ice Industries); and off-property disposal areas to inform the Remedial Investigation.
