Contaminated Eagle Industries site in Midwest City added to EPA priorities list by Justin Wingerter NewsOK January 9, 2018 MIDWEST CITY - A contaminated industrial site along Midwest City's border with Oklahoma City was added Tuesday to the Environmental Protection Agency's national priorities list for Superfund sites. The designation signifies the site is one of the nation's most severely polluted parcels of land. Soil and groundwater around the former Eagle Industries property at 10901 SE 29th St. are contaminated with trichloroethylene and dichloroethane, according to Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality investigators. "Groundwater resources at the site and the surrounding area are threatened by the contamination," the EPA wrote in a memo Tuesday. "(Trichloroethylene) has been found in off-site private drinking water wells. The site is an area of recharge for the Central Oklahoma aquifer system, which is a major source of groundwater in central Oklahoma." … For the entire article, see http://newsok.com/contaminated-eagle-industries-site-in-midwest-city-added-to-epa-priorities-list/article/5578891 -- Lenny Siegel Executive Director Center for Public Environmental Oversight a project of the Pacific Studies Center P.O.
