EPA seeks to address contamination before it harms Des Moines area drinking water
June 19, 2023
A contaminated groundwater plume in Des Moines could soon receive federal resources to clean it up.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency will hold a public meeting Tuesday at Weeks Middle School in Des Moines about adding the Lot 46 Valley Gardens TCE Superfund Site in Des Moines to the National Priorities List. The National Priorities List contains sites with hazardous chemicals or substances that are eligible for long-term cleanup and other efforts to prevent contaminants from spreading further.
