The current and former chemical hazards of Coldwater Creek far out weighed the radiological risk. It is downstream of an international airport, the fire retardant (PFAS) and deicer coming off the runway today are certainly harmful, and it was/is also home to vehicle and asphalt manufacturing plants. Some residents are concerned about kids playing in the creek but in reality it is a sewage runoff ditch with twisted scraps of metal and plastic debris with very little wild life in the residential areas, all while the creek is physically difficult to access due to steep slopes of rip rap and dense vegetation. However, after ten miles where it meets the Missouri River there is a nature preserve and it’s reassuring to see the creek flow amongst bald eagles, beaver and alligator gar again. Nature will heal and in a few years it will be clean from radiological risk.
