2.0 Site Status Summary

The site has spotty Radium-226 soil contamination.

The site is currently undergoing a joint consent agreement between the Licensee and the Kansas Department of Health and Environment Bureau's of Air and Radiation and Environmental Remediation due to additional soil mercury levels and VOC contamination of the groundwater.
