Air and Water Monitoring Continues
- Immediately after the fire broke out, SPS employed emergency contractors to engage in environmental sampling and monitoring in and around the SPS facility. Now that emergency response activities are concluding, SPS is transitioning air monitoring from Center for Toxicology and Environmental Health (CTEH) to TRC Environmental Corporation (TRC). TRC also evaluated the available air monitoring data and the potential for human health risks based on the results of data that has been collected to date; TRC’s report can be found here. As of March 8, 2025, sampling of surface water has transitioned from WSP to TRC.
- Air and water monitoring continues. SPS still has 15 air monitors in place. Six monitors circle the plant itself; the remainder are placed in the surrounding communities. Air monitoring results remain stable, with no detections of chemicals or other parameters at levels of concern in the community.
- SPS is developing its plan for future demolition work at the site. Information will be shared to keep the community informed on the plan.
- For your safety, please remain outside the fenced area surrounding the property. Only authorized people should try to access the property/building. Thank you
