EPA Region 7 to Host Nov. 14 Open House for Newton County Mine Tailings
Superfund Site
EPA officials will present a site update and information about the new
residential soil lead guidance in Neosho, Missouri
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 7 – 11201 Renner Blvd., Lenexa,
KS 66219
Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, and Nine Tribal Nations
LENEXA, KAN. (NOV. 12, 2024) – Representatives from the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) Region 7 will host an open house session to provide
community members with a site update and information about EPA’s updated
residential soil lead guidance.
EPA’s new residential soil lead guidance, released in January 2024, lowered
the screening level at residential properties from 400 parts per million (ppm)
to 200 ppm.
Screening levels are not cleanup standards. While this update will help EPA
site teams make site-specific cleanup decisions to protect nearby communities,
EPA makes cleanup decisions specific to each site, using site-specific factors
including risk factors and community input that can vary from site to site.
The open house will be held:
Thursday, Nov. 14, 2024
Open House: 6 to 8 p.m.
EPA presentation begins at 6:30 p.m.
Lampo Community Center
500 E. Spring Street
Neosho, MO 64850
Community members who attend the open house will also have the opportunity to
learn about the cleanup progress at the site; learn more about community
involvement and the Superfund process; and sign up for residential yard and
private well water lead testing.
