The Kansas Department of Health and Environment is seeking public comment on a plan to clean up contamination at the former Unocal Chemical Distribution site in Wichita.

The public comment period on the draft plan posted on the agency's website opened Monday and closes March 12.

The agency will also hold a meeting next month to outline its preferred cleanup plan and solicit public participation. The session is set for March 5 at 7 p.m. in the auditorium at Wichita's Office of Environmental Health.
