• Abstract:
  This article, about Stockton, Utah, chronicles the Volpe Center's role in a multi-million dollar emergency response to dangerous levels of lead and arsenic in the town's soil. Working with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, engineers in the Environmental Engineering Division managed the removal and replacement of over 40,000 tons of contaminated soil. The Center employed an innovative on-site treatment that saved the EPA over $400,000, and staff members' attention to safety and careful restoration has given the residents of Stockton a hopeful future.
