Radiation Contamination Found

Hazelwood Allows  Army Corps to Dig up

St. Cin Park Basketball Court

As part of the on-going investigation being conducted by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Formerly Utilized Sites Remedial Action Program (FUSRAP) regarding Coldwater Creek radiation contamination in St. Cin Park, the City of Hazelwood has been notified that contamination has been found under the basketball court.

Since St. Cin Park is currently closed to the public, city officials have given the Corps permission to dig up the court in order to remove all contamination. After the clean-up is finished, the Corps will replace the basketball court at their expense.

A city spokesman said Hazelwood’s parks and recreation staff will be working with the Corps on the plans for this replacement upon completion of remediation in St. Cin Park.
