Officials with the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency tell Regional Radio News the agency issued a modification of its seal order, which authorizes the Taylorville Kroger’s consultants to conduct work required to complete the approved asbestos remediation plan through December 2. The agency added the store cannot be safely reopened until work under the plan is completed.
The Taylorville store was closed July 29th by the EPA after it was discovered asbestos had leaked from a containment area while abatement work was being done in the store.
