EPA ordered company to expand testing area

Following an order from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the Doe Run Co. is required to turn over findings of additional soil samples taken in Herculaneum by today. In July, the EPA directed Doe Run to expand the area to collect samples of lead in the surface soil and gravel driveways at residential properties within one mile of the lead smelter.

The smokestack from the Doe Run smelter rises behind a vacant house on Mott Drive in Herculaneum. The house is located in part of the voluntary property purchase area surrounding the industrial site.
