Subj: Part of Asarco cleanup moving to state and local oversight

 

Today's Announcement

Department of Ecology is taking over a piece of the Tacoma Asarco Superfund cleanup.  See the news release and blog.

Ecology will continue yard cleanup work started in the 1990's by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Residents of the Ruston/North Tacoma area will start hearing more from their local Dirt Alert Program.  We are renewing our efforts because arsenic and lead in neighborhood soils still pose a risk.

New subscribers: You can enter your address in our interactive map to find out if you live in an affected area and what services we offer.
