"EAST CHICAGO — Numerous groups, attorneys and residents are worried contingencies in a proposed EPA cleanup plan for a lead- and arsenic-contaminated public housing site could spell future trouble for the Calumet neighborhoods.

They are also concerned EPA’s proposed cleanup plan is not protective enough.

The federal agency, overseeing the USS Lead Superfund site, closed its public comment period tied to the shuttered West Calumet Housing Complex cleanup on Jan. 14, and recently cancelled a community-requested public hearing amid President Donald Trump's government shutdown."
