Continental Steel Superfund cleanup nearly finished

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and a Indiana Department of Environmental Management began making plans to clean up a 180-acre former Continental Steel site in Kokomo behind in 1990. Since then, there has been remediation of asbestos, lead and PCBs. Buildings have been demolished. The circuitously Wildkat Creek was dredged to mislay contaminants. Funding for such an enormous project has always been an issue, as incremental funding creates all take most longer to accomplish.

With a brand new $6 million in sovereign impulse funding, a cleanup is finally nearing a end, as a rest of a work can be finished fairly quickly. It will take during slightest another two years to complete a remediation of a Superfund site, though a land can be put into prolific reuse as cleanup on a various parts of a property is completed. The area will offer as an civic immature space when a work is finished.
