West Lake landfill

Despite pleas from community members who say the landfill is responsible for mysterious illnesses, federal environmental regulators said Tuesday they can’t provide a timeline for cleanup.

The EPA admits that nuclear waste at the West Lake Landfill Superfund site is more extensive than previously stated. The timeline to begin cleanup has been delayed due to the need for additional testing.

For those concerned about Superfund sites in Missouri and Illinois, the EPA’s newly announced cleanup plans for 49 sites across the U.S come as great news. But community members say it’s also a reminder of just how much work still needs to be done.
