EPA Region 6 is taking a closer look at the State Road 114 Groundwater Plume site.

EPA worked with technical experts to collect soil and rock samples and evaluate potential sources of groundwater contamination. The team used real-time screening technology to help identify areas for investigation.

These efforts give EPA a clearer picture of conditions below ground and help the team better understand the extent and potential sources of contamination. The information gathered during testing will help guide future investigations and support the design of future remedies for the site.
