EPA Invites Public to Attend June 20 Community Meeting About Lot 46 Valley
Gardens TCE Superfund Site in Des Moines, Iowa
Meeting will focus on EPA’s plans for the site, including remediation
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 7 – 11201 Renner Blvd., Lenexa,
KS 66219
Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, and Nine Tribal Nations
LENEXA, KAN. (JUNE 13, 2023) – Officials from the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) Region 7 will host a Community Meeting on Tuesday,
June 20, at Weeks Middle School in Des Moines, Iowa.
EPA is proposing to add the Lot 46 Valley Gardens TCE Superfund Site in Des
Moines to the National Priorities List (NPL) to address groundwater
contamination from trichlorethylene (TCE) and its breakdown products.
TCE and one of its breakdown products, cis-1,2-dichloroethylene (cis-1,2-DCE),
have been detected in water samples collected from the Des Moines Water Works
(DMWW) infiltration (intake) gallery along the Racoon River. Only cis-1,2-DCE
has been detected in samples from DMWW finished water. These detections are
far below their respective Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs). All drinking
water meets Safe Drinking Water Act standards and does not present a health
risk.
Adding the site to the NPL makes federal resources available to the site for
the Superfund cleanup process to begin.
During the Public Availability Session from 6 to 6:45 p.m., representatives
from EPA, Iowa Department of Natural Resources (IDNR), and DMWW will be
available for one-on-one discussions and questions, followed by a short break.
From 7 to 7:30 p.m., officials will give a presentation about the site.
Following the presentation, EPA officials will hold a Question-and-Answer
session until 8:30 p.m.
The Community Meeting will be held:
Tuesday, June 20, 2023
Public Availability Session:
6 to 6:45 p.m.
Site Presentation:
7 to 7:30 p.m.
Question-and-Answer Session:
7:30 to 8:30 p.m.
Weeks Middle School
901 E Park Ave.
Des Moines, IA 50315
The meeting will be recorded and will be made available after the meeting on
EPA Region 7’s YouTube channel.
