When Colorado's congressional delegation works together, things get done, especially for southern Colorado. Now the next collaborative project for our senators and congresspeople is pushing the Army to quickly clean up decades of pollution and dangerous munitions at the Pueblo Chemical Depot.
"It is unsellable if it is not cleaned up. It becomes a burden for the community and for the Army and for the state to monitor this contamination in perpetuity if it is not handled appropriately."
Weapons that had been stored at the Pueblo Chemical Depot are gone but the pollution remains. The Army and Colorado officials say they are committed to making the site usable again but they need Congress to provide the funding.
