Superfund sites are overseen by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). In order to complete the expansion, the toxic waste would need to be dug up. Some are concerned that dangerous chemicals could be released into the air, soil, and water during the process. WHAT IF I MISSED THE PUBLIC HEARING?…

MENOMONEE FALLS LANDFILL EXPANSION You might have heard about a potential expansion of the Menomonee Falls landfill, at the possible cost of excavating a capped Superfund site. Some have suggested that redeveloping this Superfund site could introduce more risks to human health and the environment than leaving the site capped. We are still researching the matter. For more information, read our briefing and links to news reports from Northwest Now in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and other outlets. Soon, we may suggest writing a letter if you would support having a public information hearing prior to this process moving forward.…
