Demolition began Thursday at the notorious Lane Plating site in Dallas.

The Environmental Protection Agency added it to the Superfund remediation list in 2018.

“I understand from some of our partners around the country, that really this project has been on a fast track,” McGill said. “it’s important that we recognize and support that kind of leadership. It has allowed the voices from Arden Terrace and stakeholders to have some influence in the decisions about what is going to happen at this site.”

“The primary and most contaminated soil is within the processing area where the extent of the removal effort is taking place,” EPA site coordinator Eric Delgado said. “This is a groundwater layer that is approximately 15 feet below ground level and nobody uses that water,” Delgado said.
