EPA to Collect Hazardous Containers from Missouri Floods

EPA has been tasked by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to coordinate collection of orphaned hazardous containers from flooded areas in southern Missouri. Recent record-breaking rainfallcaused flooding in 70 counties and the City of St. Louis.

Under the FEMA mission assignment, EPA on-scene coordinators and contractors will collect and dispose of hazardous containers such as fuel and propane tanks. EPA is working closely with the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) on orphaned hazardous container collection.

If you need to report an orphaned hazardous container, such as a propane or fuel tank, call MDNR's 24-hour spill line at 573-634-2436.

An EPA on-scene coordinator is also serving as the Agency liaison at the Emergency Operations Center in Jefferson City, Missouri.
