Rep. Wagner Statement on Westlake and Bridgeton Landfill Sites

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Congresswoman Ann Wagner (R-Mo.) issued the following statement today in response to findings by the Missouri Attorney General's office.

"The new information released today by the Missouri Attorney General's office regarding the Westlake and Bridgeton landfill sites is deeply troubling. My No. 1 concern is the health and safety of area residents. I once again call on the EPA to consult with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and implement remedial actions that will protect the community. It is time for the Department of Energy, in consultation with the Army Corps of Engineers, to make a determination whether the inclusion of the West Lake site into FUSRAP will better protect area residents. The time for discussion and evaluation has passed; this community deserves a solution."
