Continental Steel Superfund cleanup scarcely accomplished
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as well as a Indiana Department of Environmental Management began making plans to clean up a 180-acre former Continental Steel site in Kokomo back in 1990. Since then, there has been remediation of asbestos, lead as well as PCBs. Buildings have been demolished. The nearby Wildkat Creek was dredged to mislay contaminants. Funding for such an huge project has always been an issue, as incremental appropriation creates everything take most longer to accomplish.
With a new $6 million in sovereign impulse funding, a cleanup is eventually nearing a end, as a rest of a work can be finished sincerely quickly. It will take during least an additional dual years to complete a remediation of a Superfund site, but a land can be put into prolific reuse as cleanup upon a various parts of a property is completed. The area will serve as an urban green space when a work is finished.
