EPA and Wyoming Officials Announce Cleanup at Nedlog Near Laramie

The EPA Emergency Response program and the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality posted a community notice on December 16 announcing new removal actions and a public meeting focused on the Nedlog Property, also known historically as the former Williams Strategic Metals site. The property at 17 Sand Creek Road sits about 2.5 miles south of Laramie and has a documented industrial history that includes alumina production, cement operations, and secondary metal recovery.

Agency officials moved a previously scheduled meeting to December 16, 2025, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Laramie Fire Department Station Number 2 to review proposed removal activities, sampling plans, and community health protections. The notice summarizes decades of work at the site, citing cleanup activities in the 1980s through the 2000s, voluntary remediation steps taken by responsible parties, and more recent EPA assessments and emergency removal work.

Planned actions noted in the community notice focus on sampling and removal related to arsenic and other contaminants. For Albany County residents, the notice means state and federal teams will be taking additional steps to characterize and reduce potential exposures near a site with a long industrial past. The proximity to Laramie underscores local concerns about soil and groundwater, and the agencies said the public meeting was intended to explain protective measures and the technical basis for planned work.

The community notice includes resources and documents for review on the EPA project page, and the online materials provide contact information for the Federal On Scene Coordinator along with links to technical documents. Residents who live near Sand Creek Road, who use private wells in the vicinity, or who have property that could be affected by cleanup operations should review the posted materials and contact the agencies with questions.

This development continues a pattern of intermittent remediation at the property over several decades, while drawing renewed federal attention to immediate removal needs. Local stakeholders now face practical decisions about access, property use, and how to follow agency guidance as sampling and removal proceed. The agencies have signaled they will provide technical documentation and points of contact to support community review and participation as work advances.
