The Army Corps of Engineers recently discovered that soil underneath several suburban St. Louis homes is contaminated due to nuclear waste dumping near a local creek. Thankfully, the contamination is not severe enough to pose a health risk, so the six affected homes in the Cades Cove subdivision in Florissant will not require remediation. However, this revelation has raised concerns about the long-term environmental impact and the need for ongoing monitoring to ensure the safety of the residents.
