Selah residents affected by the groundwater contamination near the Yakima Training Center spent Thursday night speaking with local and state health and environmental officials about their concerns over the U.S. Army’s handling of cleanup efforts.
The state Department of Ecology, the Department of Health and the Yakima Health District held a listening session inside the Selah Civic Center for residents to share concerns ranging from PFAS consumption via the meat of exposed farm animals to the estimated spread of the chemicals into the area’s water table.
