Water Contamination Worries Local Residents. Contact our Environmental Attorneys if Your Community is at Risk.
Residents of Grand Island, Nebraska have grown increasingly concerned about the water contamination in their communities. The affected areas, which include the Marylane, Kentish Hills and Castle Estates subdivisions, are now threatened by the vapors from the contaminated soil and the groundwater leaking into homes via basement flooding.
"The flooding could increase the exposure compared to periods where the water
table is lower," said Lemuel Srolovic, an attorney with the Weitz &
Luxenberg Environmental
Toxic Torts Unit.
The firm has filed a lawsuit againts Cargill,
Incorporated, which was fingered as a source of the Grand Island groundwater
contamination. Cargill's former seed treating facility, located at 3304 Engleman
Road, was identified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as a culprit.
Industrial solvents used at that plant have been found in the area's drinking
water supply wells. Toxic chemicals found in that water include perchloroethene
(PCE) and thrichloroethane (TCA).
