Summary


A former grain storage facility east of Rockwell that was in operation from the 1940s until the 1980s. During this time, carbon tetrachloride was used to preserve stored grain until it was banned. Investigations are currently underway to determine potential groundwater contamination as a result of the past use of carbon tetrachloride at the site. DNR is the lead agency and is partnered with USDA to conduct the investigation.
