EPA Begins Review of the Ritari Post & Pole site Sebeka, Minnesota The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is conducting a five-year review of the Ritari Post & Pole site located near Sebeka, Minnesota. The Superfund law requires regular checkups of sites that have been cleaned up - with waste managed on-site - to make sure the cleanup continues to protect people and the environment. This is the fifth five-year review of this site. EPA's cleanup of the Ritari Post & Pole site was largely completed by 2008 and included on-site consolidation and capping of contaminated soil, groundwater monitoring, and property use restrictions. In 2008, a small area of contaminated soil was disposed of off- site in a licensed landfill. Operation and maintenance activities for the on-site consolidation pile and groundwater monitoring are ongoing. Additionally, the property use restrictions remain in place. More information is available at the Wadena Public Library, 304 First St. S.W., Wadena, MN; and at www.epa.gov/superfund/ritari-post-pole. The review should be completed by August 2023. The five-year-review is an opportunity for you to tell EPA about site conditions and any concerns you have.
