Sen. Pat Roberts is keeping the pressure on the Environmental Protection Agency on behalf of residents in the southeast Kansas town of Treece, which is dealing with years of contamination from mining pollution.
Roberts sent a letter Thursday to EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson inviting her to travel to Treece. It's an effort to persuade the Obama administration to spend stimulus money on relocating townspeople.
Jackson will be in Kansas City, Kan., on Monday and Roberts says she should go see for herself the plight of the 100 Treece residents.
Roberts says the EPA should treat Treece residents the same as those across the state line in Picher, Okla., where residents are being relocated as part of remediation for similar mining pollution problems.
