October 30, 2007 - Residents of four Minneapolis neighborhoods learn more about their exposure to arsenic contamination Tuesday night when the EPA releases the results of a health risk assessment. The contamination was discovered 13 years ago, but the cleanup only began in 2004. Residents are frustrated about the long process, and worried about the threat to their health.
On an early fall day, workers with shovels are digging soil from the front yard of a house in the Corcoran neighborhood in Minneapolis, while others are on small tractors.
They're with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and they are removing a foot of soil contaminated with arsenic. It's what these workers have been doing almost every day since the summer.
