Think of soil remediation at the proposed elementary site as a five-pronged approach, says USD 257 Board of Education president Dan Willis.

The process involves SJCF Architects, a firm working for the school district; the Kansas Department of Health and Environment; the Environmental Protection Agency; their soil remediation contractor in Iola, Veterans Worldwide; and the soil testing company Terracon Environmental Services.

?They?re all in communication and they?re all trying to bulldoze the roadblocks of bureaucracy,? Willis explained.
