Army Bars Pollution Controls At Olin Redstone Arsenal
The Department of the Army overruled the Water Quality Administration's stricter standard for Olin Chemical's DDT plant at Redstone Arsenal. Army officials say ongoing improvements will continue, while Olin argues the 20 parts per trillion goal is unattainable in commercial production. The Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge and Decatur drinking water reservoir are affected, with Interior Department studying the impact. A 14 member Edgewood Arsenal team has begun water sampling to trace pollutants.
