Yes that’s right the Donna reservoir has been something that has been covered for quite some time in regards to issues of contamination but now the EPA is ever closer to determining the source spring 2001. The Texas Commission On Environmental Quality takes samples from the Donna reservoir discovers PCBS, cancer causing chemicals in the soil, and it’s been an EPA sampling and study project ever since. But now we may be closer to uncovering the contamination cause.
