09/21/2017
The Indiana Lawyer called on the expertise of IU McKinney Professor Carlton Waterhouse about the West Calumet Housing Complex, a USS Lead Superfund Site located in East Chicago, Indiana and listed among the worst contaminated sites in the United States in 2009.
Professor Waterhouse pointed to evidence that there has been a lack of political will to address the larger problems of industrial contamination in low-income neighborhoods constructed in the 1970s on what are now Superfund sites, such as the East Chicago neighborhood.
