Minneapolis Arsenic Removal Information


Courtesy of the EPA

The following is information on arsenic removal in Minneapolis:

As of mid-August, EPA had removed soil from 65 properties with arsenic concentrations exceeding the action level of 95 ppm. Removal activities involve excavating the unpaved spots on each property to a depth of 12 inches in lawn areas and 18 inches in garden and play areas. The arsenic-contaminated soil is disposed of off-site at a licensed landfill.

As additional properties are identified with excessive arsenic levels, they are being scheduled for cleanup. EPA and its contractors will be starting new cleanup projects in September and continue as long as the weather permits. Suspended cleanup work will resume next spring.
