This is all part of a cleanup process that will hopefully address lead contamination through the excavation or removal of all soil or waste in affected properties.

Soil in Pittsburg, Kansas Tested for Lead Contamination Leave a reply While the city of Pittsburg in Kansas owes its very existence, in a way, to the mining industries that dominated its landscape in the 1800s, it is this very history that is now a cause of concern for its residents. Lead testing on these locations will be done whether or not they are within the vicinity of former zinc smelters. Once these locations have been tested, soil sampling will then be done on properties that are within 500 feet from the historical Pittsburg Zinc Company smelters. The Environmental Protection Agency has begun screening properties in Pittsburg to evaluate lead contamination levels. | multidex index black & white 15-tab, 1-15, 8-1/2 x 11, 15/set 11197 - avery ready index table of contents reference dividers - 15 x tab printed 1 to 15 - 15 tab(s)/set - 8.5" x 11" - 6 / pack - white divider - assorted 11820 - avery ready index translucent table of content dividers - 15 x divider - 15 x tab print-on - 15 tab(s)/set - 8.5" x 11" - 15 / set - clear divider - multicolor 67318 - cardinal onestep more numbered index system - 15 x divider - 15 x tab printed 1-15 - 8.5" x 11" - 1 set - multicolor multidex index assorted color 8-tab, 1-8, 8-1/2 x 11, 8/set multidex index assorted color 5-tab, 1-5, 8-1/2 x 11, 5/set 11279 - avery readyindex executive index divider kits - printed 1-15 - 15 tab(s)/set - 8.5" x 11" - 15 / set - multicolor divider 67313 - cardinal onestep more numbered index system - 15 x tab printed 1-15 - 8.5" x 11" - 1 set - clear 61518 - cardinal onestep numbered index system - 15 x tab printed 1 - 15 - 8.5" x 11" - 1 set - multicolor 61513cb - cardinal onestep numbered index system - 15 x tab printed 1 to 15 - 8.5" x 11" - 1 set - white multidex index assorted color 26-tab, a-z, 8-1/2 x 11, 26/set multidex index assorted color 10-tab, 1-10, 8-1/2 x 11, 10/set |
