More on Vinyl Cholride in Tampa Bay Groundwater

More news stories on the chemical plume spreading in the Tampa Area.  This follows my previous post about Vinyl Chloride in the Groundwater.

Joe Dindino said he has lived on 10th Avenue North for 30 years, and had no idea that chemicals such as dioxane, TCE and vinyl chloride were contaminating the ground in his neighborhood until a news reporter told him.

He wants to know why Raytheon didn't tell residents when its tests showed the plume was moving off the plant's property and under homes.
