Their press release does not state that the site meets the ingestion standards today or even that it would have is this arsenic testing issue had not been pursued by Ms. Linda Ryckman.
Their press release states after consultation with IEPA and Alpha Environmental the district has embarked on additional testing and will make modifications neccessary to ensure that that the ingestion standards will be met when the project is completed.
What it does not state is that the consultation and additional testing were the result of Ms. Ryckman forcing their hands despite their crude attempts at discrediting her and personal attacks on her. This seems like a complete vindication for Ms. Ryckman. Maybe the district should consider reimbursing her for the testing and naming one of the ball fields after her. Politics aside - Ms. Ryckman, thru her actions, has made the final project safer for everyone, especially the children that will use it. Thanks Ms. Ryckman!
