#  Contaminated water

 Written on 16 December 2024.

Pond near BioLab facility could have chemicals in it. Critics are testing it to find out. The Environmental Protection Agency is testing a pond about half a mile away from BioLab’s facility months after the chemical fire. Channel 2′s Richard Elliot spoke to people living in the area who aren’t fans of BioLab and those feelings only became stronger after the chemical fire.

He learned that the EPA recently tested a pond known as VFW Lake, because it’s on the Veterans of Foreign Wars’ property. But opponents of the facility say they’ve had the water tested too. Elliot learned the EPA tested the water, but hasn’t been able to learn the results of those test just yet.
