Kokomo Group Complains Cleanup At Continental Site Not Quick Enough KOKOMO, Ind. (AP) About 10 Kokomo residents went Monday to the Superfund hazardous waste site at the former Continental Steel plant to complain that severe environmental problems have not been addressed quickly enough.

They demonstrated on the day that contaminated soil around a quarry on the property of the bankrupt steel company was scheduled to begin being shipped to a Utah landfill. Ray Murphy, a spokesman for the group, said it was told the shipping will be delayed because of problems getting clearance at the landfill. "Shipping our garbage to someone else isn't a solution," Murphy said. "It's the same as Indiana accepting garbage from other states." The group also is upset that officials have not adequately addressed contamination of lagoons at the Continental site, Murphy said. The liquid in the 20-million gallon lagoons has been neutralized and the water pumped through a wastewater treatment plant.

But the remaining sludge contains toxic metals and other undetermined contaminants, the EPA has said. The EPA and the Indiana Department of Environmental Management have conducted removal actions at the Continental site since February. The actions included overpacking drums, testing the area, and removing asbestos. The EPA said this summer that "immediate threats to the public due to hazardous wastes on site have been allayed in that the U.S. EPA has located, temporarily contained removed certain materials that potentially could have been released off site." "There is much work left to be done by both EPA and IDEM, and the site is not considered safe for the public to enter and tour," EPA spokeswoman Karen Martin said at the time.
