Environment compliance officials will soon be in Russell Springs | Laker Country 104.9 FM WJRS

Environment officials will soon be in Russell Springs to perform work behind Jax's store as part of EPA-led oversight.
The effort is directed by the EPA and the Kentucky Underground Storage Tank Branch, focusing on test holes and core drilling.
The inspections are a protocol following a gas leak in the area about three years ago, according to the mayor.
Russell Springs Mayor Eddie Thomas referenced the gas leak incident as the backdrop for the inspections.
The activity signals ongoing environmental monitoring in Russell County after the historic leak.
The project involves testing and site assessment along Carol Street and adjacent corridors.
Officials will conduct fieldwork under regulatory guidance to verify safety measures.
The site work aims to align with environmental protocols following past incidents.
The press release notes the area around Jax's is part of the inspection, not the entire town.
