A little background to this newspaper report from an US EPA Fact Sheet of January 2010:

Bannister Federal Complex, 1500 E. Bannister Road, Kansas City, Missouri

INTRODUCTION

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 7, at the request of the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MDNR), will work with the General Services Administration (GSA) to implement a comprehensive sampling plan to determine whether environmental contamination in indoor or outdoor air might pose human health risks to occupants of two buildings located at the Bannister Federal Complex, 1500 E. Bannister Road, in Kansas City, Mo. The buildings are located near the intersection of Bannister Road and Troost Avenue in south Kansas City.

The environmental investigation will focus on Building 50, which houses the Kansas City South Field Office of the GSA, and Building 52, which houses the Bannister Complex Child Development Center. The center is a public child care facility operated by a private contractor on GSA’s behalf.

BACKGROUND

The Bannister Federal Complex has a long history of known and suspected environmental contamination issues. Currently occupied by GSA and the U.S. Department of Energy, portions of the 310-acre property have been used since the early 1940s as an aircraft engine plant, a U.S. Department of Defense landfill, a manufacturing facility for non-nuclear components of nuclear weapons systems, and for facilities housing operations of various federal agencies, including the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration and the Internal Revenue Service.

ENVIRONMENTAL HISTORY

EPA Region 7 has been involved in a number of environmental assessment efforts at the Bannister Federal Complex since at least 1989, under its authority outlined by the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA).

Known environmental contaminants at locations within the complex include trichloroethylene (TCE), a solvent used in various types of adhesives, lubricants, paints, varnishes, paint strippers, pesticides and cleaners; and perchloroethylene (PCE), a dry cleaning agent…

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has joined Missouri officials in a review of whether one of 785 known one-time toxins at the Bannister Federal Complex pose risks to children at a day care or employees at the facility.

The probe centers on buildings 50 which houses a public child day care facility and on building 52 which houses GSA offices.

The action comes two months after the NBC Action News Bannister Investigation identified dozens of unexplained illnesses affecting sick and dead former employees at the complex.

GSA officials have refused to do on-camera interviews with NBC Action News citing

“Based on your comments to GSA in the past and your initial reports, GSA representatives are no longer commenting on camera because we are concerned our statements may be taken out-of-context,” GSA spokesman Charles Cook said Tuesday in a prepared statement to NBC Action News.

The GSA controlled office space at the complex butts against the Kansas City Plant where Honeywell contractors for the U.S. Dept. of Energy produce non-nuclear components for nuclear weapons.

The NBC Action News Investigation uncovered 785 toxic substances that have been used at the complex during its use since the 40’s as a defense plant.

“While GSA’s 2008 test results show no environmental contamination in indoor air, GSA ordered additional testing to be completed in the Child Care Center,” Cook said in a statement released today,” Cook said in a statement released Thursday.

“GSA is partnering with the EPA to lead a comprehensive environmental assessment of facilities on the complex,” Cook said.

Previously GSA officials had repeatedly stated that testing at the complex showed no unusual health risks.

Documents leaked to NBC Action News Wednesday indicate the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services disagreed with the methods used for the testing.

“As for the operation of a day care in Building 52, this situation warrants careful and complete investigation,” wrote Cherri Baysinger with Mo. DHHS.

The document faulted the tests for not identifying the source or extent of trichloroethylene (TCE) and other contamination at or under the day care.

TCE is a potential carcinogen according to OSHA affecting the Kidneys, liver, eyes, skin, CNS, and cardiovascular system.

An EPA statement on the probe says TCE “is a solvent used in various types of adhesives, lubricants, paints, varnishes, paint strippers, pesticides and cleaners; and perchloroethylene (PCE), a dry cleaning agent.

“Earlier this month, in response to citizens’ concerns and media reports, MDNR formally requested that EPA Region 7 evaluate the results of previous sampling efforts of indoor air performed by GSA at the Bannister Complex Child Development Center,” the EPA statement says.

“MDNR requested that EPA further evaluate the rate and extent of soil and groundwater contamination on the property,” the statement says.

Below is a list of known toxic substances that the U.S. Dept. of Labor has verified as being onsite at one time at the DOE’s Kansas City Plant which produces non-nuclear parts for nuclear weapons.

The plant butts against GSA controlled office space.
