Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, and Nine Tribal Nations
LENEXA, KAN. (JUNE 27, 2023) – An EPA on-scene coordinator (OSC) and contractors have begun the removal assessment phase at HPI Products Inc. facilities in St. Joseph, Missouri.

The inventory and assessment of these containers is an essential step in determining the threats that the containers’ contents may pose to the community and the environment and the next steps to address those.
