Huq said the national strategy group was formed by the Environmental Protection Agency to develop and carry out plans to clean up contamination from underground storage tanks.

The group faces an Aug. 8 deadline to conduct inventories and develop cleanup plans, Huq said. It must submit a report to Congress a year later.

Huq said the Rosebud Sioux Tribe and the EPA are now working to fix contamination problems caused by underground storage tanks in Mission.

Huq said anyone on the Rosebud reservation with information about contamination from underground storage tanks may call him at 747-2559.

If you don't see your comment, perhaps...

you called someone an idiot, a racist, a dope, a moron, etc. Please, no name-calling or profanity (or veiled profanity -- #$%^&*).
you rambled, failed to stay on topic or exhibited troll-like behavior intended to hijack the discussion at hand.
YOU SHOUTED YOUR COMMENT IN ALL CAPS. This is hard to read and annoys readers.
you named a business or identified a business in a way good or bad. Contact the business directly with your customer service concerns or your praise – they’ll likely appreciate your feedback.
you believe the newspaper's coverage is unfair. It would be better to write Jerry Steinley at jerry.steinley@rapidcityjournal.com or call him at 394-8427. This is a forum for community discussion, not for media criticism. We'd rather address your concerns directly.
you included an e-mail address or phone number, pretended to be someone you aren't or offered a comment that makes no sense.
you accused someone of a crime or assigned guilt or punishment to someone suspected of a crime.
your comment is in really poor taste.
