US EPA Announces Public Listening Session, Oct. 12.

EPA and EGLE will provide an in-person availability session on Wednesday, October 12, 2022 from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. in the Community Room of St. Louis City Hall, 300 N Mill St., St. Louis. Representatives from both agencies will answer questions and talk one-on-one with members of the public regarding the upcoming project at the former Velsicol Plant site.

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, with the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE), plans to start a new cleanup phase in the activities at the Velsicol Chemical Corp. Superfund site. This new phase consists of excavating approximately 100,000 tons of contaminated soil from the southern portion of the former Velsicol Plant property (along M-46) and trucking this material off-site for disposal in a permitted landfill.
