Barrier between Fire and Nuclear Waste at West Lake Landfills is Delayed

摘要

Construction on a barrier between an underground fire at the Bridgeton Landfill and radioactive materials in the adjacent West Lake Landfill has been delayed, and federal lawmakers are asking why. "We remain concerned by the lack of a clear timeline for completion of the proposed isolation barrier," reads a recent letter to the Environmental Protection Agency signed by Sens. Roy Blunt, R-Mo., and Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., and Reps. William Lacy Clay, D-St. Louis, and Ann Wagner, R-Ballwin.
