An environmental study is underway in and around Eastern Heights in Grenada, MS to evaluate the possibility that contaminants may be traveling from the former Grenada Manufacturing, LLC, facility (Facility, now Grenada Stamping) or another source into the community. EPA became aware of the potential for contamination while overseeing a cleanup of the Facility under the Resource and Conservation Recovery Act (RCRA) program.

This study is part of a precautionary approach to protect public health and the environment. Based on results received to date, EPA has determined that there is no immediate threat to public health in the Eastern Heights neighborhood due to trichloroethene (TCE).
