(Richmond, IN)--The EPA released another update Thursday regarding air sampling from the My Way Trading Fire, and the news is good.  The EPA said it has not detected volatile organic compounds or particulate matter emissions for the last three days.  After consulting with the city and state, the EPA has now ended air monitoring and sampling around the site.  Pickup of debris, though, continues.  So far, crews have collected debris at 17 schools, 16 daycares, and six parks.  The EPA will soon begin collection from residential properties.
