eliminated the bus stop at 275 Mills Gap Road after testing showed  
unsafe levels of the pollutant TCE in and around the home at that  
address and two nearby trailers.

On Friday, the EPA recommended 13 people move from their homes

School officials are working “with the students and families in the  
affected area for alternate stop locations as needed. Additionally,
