New rules from the Environmental Protection Agency give states the power to set their own goals for greenhouse gas emissions from coal-fired power plants.

The company will recall about 500,000 medium- and heavy-duty trucks with model years between 2010 and 2015.

The latest recall affects 2010-2015 medium- and heavy-duty trucks with engines made by Cummins Inc.

TCE is used to degrease metal and to make other chemicals like refrigerants. It's just one of the chemicals found at the Amphenol industrial site in Franklin.

The EPA said in a statement that it "continues to evaluate data and hopes to announce a cleanup plan for public comment in late summer or early fall."

The soil has high levels of arsenic, lead, cadmium, and zinc. EPA estimates the cleanup will cost more than $26 million.

The agency will update residents on residential soil sampling and cleanup work in areas of Hammond and Whiting near Federated Metals' abandoned smelter.

The EPA put the Spencer site on its priority list last week, but the Indiana Department of Environmental Management says the chemical in the water is at safe levels.
