(DEQ) —  The Division of Environmental Quality encourages the community to provide comments on the proposed plan to cleanup the former Kagman airfield dumpsite by April 7.
Last week, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers held a public forum on March 7 at the Kagman High School cafeteria to discuss the plan to clean up the former airfield dumpsite

The environmental investigation and cleanup is being performed under the Defense Environmental Restoration Program for Formerly Used Defense Sites. 
The proposed plan provides an overview of the contamination discovered at the former dump site, the potential risks posed to human and ecological receptors, cleanup standards, and various remediation alternatives.
