EPA NEARS COMPLETION OF MY WAY TRADING FIRE CLEANUP

(Richmond, IN)--The EPA appears to be well ahead of schedule in the cleanup of the My Way Trading fire site in Richmond.  According to a recent update, all potential asbestos-containing materials have been removed from the site and taken to an appropriate facility.  Crews are continuing to rinse off the concrete pad that remains.  That’s the last step in the EPA’s cleanup.  They recently collected four samples from the site and all four came back free of asbestos.  Air samples have also been negative during cleanup and removal.  Once the EPA has left the site, it will be returned to the city of Richmond.  Numerous lawsuits continue to progress.
