Superfund

A Superfund site in Martinsville will receive money for cleanup from the federal infrastructure law. It’s one of 49 such sites in the country that hasn't had federal funding before.

The EPA said monitoring will continue at the three sites, which were contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyls, or PCBs.

The agency suspects the water pollution at the Martinsville Superfund site mostly came from a local laundry and dry cleaning business in the 1980s.

According to a new report from Earthjustice and the Shriver Center on Poverty Law, 70 percent of the most dangerous hazardous waste sites in the country are located within a mile of federally assisted housing.

The federal government plans to give Indiana even more money to help clean up polluted sites like former dry cleaners and factories.

Former residents of the West Calumet Public Housing Complex are upset with East Chicago Mayor Anthony Copeland's plans to let an industrial company move to where the housing complex once stood.

A new report on Superfunds from the Government Accountability Office, says climate change is expected to mean more flooding in Indiana and that could put the states hazardous waste sites at risk.
