ST. LOUIS COUNTY, Mo. (First Alert 4) -The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is conducting large-scale soil sampling in a north St. Louis County subdivision as part of its search for areas contaminated by Coldwater Creek. Decades ago, improperly stored radioactive waste from the development of nuclear weapons leaked into the creek. Paul Scherbring has been a resident of the Wedgwood subdivision in north St. Louis County since 1988. Workers recently drilled down in his yard looking for radioactive contamination. “They did one sample in my front yard and three samples in the backyard,” Scherbring said.
