WASHINGTON • Members of Missouri’s congressional delegation plan to re-introduce legislation Wednesday that would shift cleanup responsibility of the West Lake Landfill from the Environmental Protection Agency to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, even though the Corps has said it doesn’t want it and the new EPA Director has signaled he will try to accelerate action on it.
