LEHR site update

The oversight for community participation in cleaning up the UC Davis "Laboratory for Energy-Related Health Research" (LEHR site) has shifted to the US EPA, Region 9. 

The LEHR site is on the south fork of Putah Creek just east of Old Davis Rd. It is a Superfund site due to past research activities and associated disposal, as well as numerous historical un-lined landfills. The site is actively polluting ground water in the area.

The Department of Energy and UC Davis are responsible for cleanup.

The US EPA contacted Putah Creek Council to help spread the word that they seek increased public participation in this process.
