Great Plains/Rocky Mountain HSRC

Kansas State University

The Great Plains/Rocky Mountain center covered EPA Regions 7 and 8, under the leadership of Kansas State University. Other participating universities included: Haskell Indian Nations University, Kansas State University, Lincoln University, and Montana State University. This HSRC focused on contaminated soils and mining wastes. Research covered soil, water, and ground water contaminated with heavy metals, and organics; wood preservatives in groundwater; pesticides; improved methods for analyzing contaminated soil; and pollution prevention technologies.
