EPA to Begin Air Sampling at the Capital City Plume Site in  
Montgomery, AL

Protection Agency (EPA) will begin collecting air samples during the  
week of August 15, 2011. Samples will be collected at various

changes in environmental parameters affect PCE and TCE vapors. The  
sampling locations are in the area of Dexter and Washington Avenue.
