"EPA plans to move staff from a Houston regional laboratory to another facility 400 miles away.

Acting EPA Region 6 Administrator David Gray met with agency employees in Houston yesterday morning to inform them about "co-locating" the South Central office's laboratory services to the Robert S. Kerr Environmental Research Center in Ada, Okla., according to an internal email obtained by E&E News.

Gray said in the email sent to employees that the plan will affect all staff who work at EPA's Houston lab within the next three years."
