Tar Creek Superfund Site OU5 Human Health
Risk Assessment Comments Now Closed
Thank you all for submitting comments. You DO make a difference! We will let you know when EPA responds.

VIDEO AND DOWNLOADS AVAILABLE:
EPA recently released its draft Human Health Risk Assessment for Operable Unit 5 of the Tar Creek Superfund site. EPA  is requesting comments on the risk assessment. The comment deadline is August 17, 2020.

 To learn more about the risk assessment, EPA's Technical Assistance Services for Communities (TASC) program hosted a live webinar that you can watch at this link. During the webinar, the TASC team explained the purpose and contents of the Human Health Risk Assessment. They also answered questions from members of the public. Please take the time to watch this presentation.

After watching the video, consider whether YOU think the EPA has adequately described and explained the human health risks posed by OU5. Then write a comment to EPA with your opinions and, just as importantly, your questions. EPA must hear from residents in order to improve the Risk Assessment. If the Risk Assessment doesn't reflect the extent of the human health risks that exist, then their plan to clean up OU5 will not address all the risks.

Comments are due August 17 and should be emailed to coats.janetta@epa.gov.
