The EPA continues testing air from the Billings PCE Superfund site.
Billings, MT, November 6, 2026 —
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is continuing its air testing operations at the Billings PCE Superfund site. The specific timeline for the commencement or completion of these current testing phases was not provided in the available information.
The purpose of these ongoing tests is to monitor air quality in and around the site, which is designated as a Superfund location. Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFCs), specifically tetrachloroethylene (PCE), have been associated with the site, necessitating environmental monitoring. However, the trend summary does not detail the particular methods being employed for the air testing, the specific areas being sampled, or the frequency of these sampling efforts.
Details regarding the findings from past testing, the exact nature of the contaminants being assessed beyond PCE, or any identified remediation efforts are not currently available. The trend summary also does not specify which contractors, if any, are involved in carrying out these air quality assessments, nor does it provide information on the budget allocated for this ongoing environmental work.
Superfund sites are areas in the United States where hazardous waste has been released or is located. The EPA manages the Superfund program to clean up uncontrolled or abandoned hazardous-waste sites that pose a threat to human health and the environment. Further updates on the EPA’s activities at the Billings PCE Superfund site, including any outcomes from the current air testing, are not detailed in the provided summary.
