Open House for Calumet & Hecla Power Plant Cleanup

The clean up of the former Calumet and Hecla Power Plant site is complete and now, it’s time to see what it looks like. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is holding an open house tomorrow at the Lake Linden Village Hall at 4 o’clock for community members to see the work that was done. During the project, which began in 2011, workers removed asbestos-containing materials from structures. They also removed contaminated soil, water and sediment, and covered most of the site with clean material and vegetation.
