Wells in southeast North Dakota contain high levels of arsenic

FARGO, ND — One of the state’s US senators is urging the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to put arsenic-contaminated drinking water in rural North Dakota at the top of its Superfund cleanup list, according to a February 13 article in The Forum news service.

Some of the wells contain levels between 50 ppb and 100 ppb, the article said. Arsenic was once used to kill clouds of grasshoppers that ate crops, and the chemical is now found in groundwater across three counties in the southeast corner of the state, the article said.
