The Environmental Protection Agency on Thursday night will host a meeting to update local residents about the federal agency’s recent decision to list a portion of the Columbia Falls Aluminum Co. property as a Superfund site.
The meeting will take place at the Columbia Falls Junior High School “Cafetorium,” 1805 Talbot Rd., from 6:30 to 8 p.m.
The meeting will include a welcome and introduction from project manager Mike Cirian, followed by a discussion of the listing decision and an update from David Dorian, an environmental health scientist with the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry.
EPA Community Involvement Coordinator Robert Moler will also be present, and Cirian will brief the community on the timeline and next steps for the Superfund cleanup process.
The meeting will wrap up with a public discussion and question-and-answer session.
