Quote:Kansas government didn’t tell Wichita-area residents their water was contaminated for 6 years
Quote:While the Environmental Protection Agency has a Superfund program that can help pay for cleanup costs, the companies pay for it first and submit a claim for approval to the EPA. The state law limits the liability of dry cleaning shops to $5,000, though the law doesn’t preclude the state from facing litigation for keeping the contamination under their hat.
The KDHE warned the state legislature that a tax on the cleaning solvent wouldn’t be enough to fund cleanup on such sights, but they passed the law anyway. There’s even a line in it that directs the KDHE not to look for contamination from dry cleaners and “make every reasonable effort” to keep the sites off the federal Superfund list.
