April 17, 2009- In the summer of 2008 investigators found about 500 barrels behind a home on O Avenue. Crews cleaned up the site, but say toxic and radioactive materials leaked into the ground. Since then, tests have shown no chemicals in the well water of nearby homes.
On Thursday night, concerned residents attended a meeting at KVCC, where the EPA was expected to explain more about the safety of the site. Approximately 50 people showed up, some of them quite angry. Authorities say the well water is safe, however there is other contamination in the area that the EPA is still concerned about.
