DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) â The administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in his first visit to Iowa joined state and city officials Tuesday to announce the future plans for a sprawling former industrial site at a high-profile spot on the edge of downtown Des Moines.
The 43-acre property bordered by the east bank of the Raccoon River and a key city boulevard was classified as a federal superfund site in 1983. That designation entitled the property for federal funding under a 1980 law that allows the EPA to clean up contamination and force the responsible parties to remove contaminants or reimburse the government for doing so.

U.S. Rep. Darren Soto, D-Kissimmee, has submitted 11 projects to the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure for consideration in surface transportation authorization legislation. That legislation builds on the Moving Forward Act, which passed in the House last year, Soto’s office said.
The submissions include four Polk County projects. Soto has requested nearly $1.4 million for Florida Department of Transportation for the widening of Hinson Avenue in Haines City. The representative is also seeking $300,000 to improve the intersection of U.S. 17-92 and County Road 557 in Lake Alfred.
Soto submitted two requests for widening Lucerne Park Road (CR 544)in the Winter Haven area. He requested $5 million to expand the stretch between Martin Luther King Boulevard and Lucerne Loop Road and another $5 million to widen the road from Lucerne Loop Road and State Road 17.
