#WestVirginiaWaterConcerns - EPA starts MCHM air testing, but lacks adequate data - ow.ly/CY2df - #WaterLawyer - Nearly 10 months after the leak, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency officials were in Charleston this week to collect air samples that would give them a “baseline” for comparison to measurements they plan to take once Freedom begins remediation work to remove soil contaminated by the coal-cleaning chemical. The EPA program, being conducted in cooperation with state officials, comes about three weeks after some significant cleanup work — the dismantling and removal of more than a dozen chemical storage tanks — and involves an air quality “screening level” based largely on a much-criticized federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention number used for monitoring MCHM in drinking water contaminated by the leak. #WaterSafetyAttorney
