On Thursday night, the 最新杏吧原创 District of the Army Corps of Engineers 鈥� the agency conducting the cleanup through its Formerly Utilized Sites Remedial Action Program 鈥� is set to hold its first public meeting since the shift occurred.

The meeting, conducted annually to provide updates on work in the area, will be at the Hazelwood Civic Center East, at 8969 Dunn Road in Hazelwood. It will run from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.

Since July, the cleanup work in residential areas has focused on properties along Palm Drive in Hazelwood. During that span, 鈥渁n additional area of contamination was found north of the original contaminated area at Chez Paree Apartment Complex,鈥� according to the corps. Remediation in that area began late last month and should take about three months for completion.

The corps says it is 鈥渆xtremely pleased鈥� with progress, overall.

鈥淒rawing on lessons learned from remediation in nearby parks, our team developed a plan that allowed us to complete remedial excavation in less than a month, lessening the impacts on residents,鈥� Bruce Munholand, FUSRAP program manager, said in a statement.

Thursday鈥檚 meeting is also the first since the documentary, 鈥淎tomic Homefront,鈥� last week.

The film looks at the history of radioactive waste in North County, both along Coldwater Creek and at nearby West Lake Landfill 鈥� a separate site in Bridgeton, where a is being mounted by the Environmental Protection Agency.

鈥淭he film has raised a lot of concern for people near and far who grew up in north 最新杏吧原创 County and are just finding out about the radioactive nuclear weapons waste legacy of the region,鈥� said a statement from Coldwater Creek 鈥� Just the Facts, a volunteer community group following the issue.

The group has mapped suspected cancer clusters of people who lived near Coldwater Creek decades ago, and group representative Kim Visintine said that 2,000 new people have reported illnesses to them since the documentary鈥檚 on-air premi猫re.
