January 15, 2008 - The state Department of Ecology has approved the Port of Vancouver's plan for completing cleanup of a toxic plume laying beneath a west Vancouver neighborhood.

Now the department wants to hear what the public thinks.

Ecology and the Port are holding a public meeting tonight to talk about what is expected to be the last step in a process that began in 1998 to remove a potentially dangerous solvent from the groundwater. The meeting starts at 6:30 p.m. in the Fruit Valley Elementary School cafeteria, 3410 N.W. Fruit Valley Road.
