EPA will test Bettendorf neighborhood for hazardous chemical contamination by Alma Gaul Quad City Times March 12, 2018 The federal Environmental Protection Agency is investigating possible hazardous chemical contamination to the environment in an area of Bettendorf around Tanglefoot Lane between Devils Glen and Middle roads. During the week of March 19-23, air, groundwater and soil samples will be taken at about 40 properties within a two-mile radius of a site south of Tanglefoot that was used for waste disposal before disposal was subject to governmental regulation. The 18-acre site is undeveloped, rough-terrain ground filled with grass, brush and trees. From the 1950s into the '70s, the land was leased by its owner, Harry Meinert, for municipal dumping by the city of Riverdale and industrial disposal by Alcoa (now Arconic) and the former Bendix Corp., of Davenport, according to an assessment provided by the EPA Region 7 office in Kansas City. … For the entire article, see http://qctimes.com/news/local/epa-will-test-bettendorf-neighborhood-for-contamination/article_776ec653-5c1a-5f75-8906-89392f56d176.html -- Lenny Siegel Executive Director Center for Public Environmental Oversight a project of the Pacific Studies Center P.O.
