East Chicago residents say a public meeting on the USS Lead Superfund cleanup last week left questions unanswered and several people didn’t get a chance to speak.

The EPA says it’s possible that the USS Lead site is contaminating the groundwater with arsenic and lead.

Residents questioned the EPA representatives about ongoing health hazards, groundwater contamination, and testing consistency across East Chicago’s Superfund site.

Residents living in the USS Lead Superfund site in East Chicago will have opportunities to talk with the Environmental Protection Agency and learn more about its cleanup plans this month.

The agency estimates the cleanup project at the East Chicago's West Calumet Housing Complex will cost about $26 million.

The agency says it hasn't been able to get permission from property owners to test the soil.

Officials in East Chicago are sending new absentee ballots after a school board candidate's name was missing.

A recent study found the blood lead levels of children living in the superfund site is higher than those living in other parts of the city.

The technical advisor could discuss important developments coming up like the EPA’s proposed cleanup plan for the West Calumet Housing Complex.

The EPA says partial replacement doesn't reduce lead contamination and can sometimes make it worse.
