The United Heckathorn Superfund Site in Richmond is undergoing renewed cleanup efforts due to persistent toxic pesticide contamination despite initial EPA remediation in the 1990s. The site remains polluted, with high toxin levels confirmed in fish and mussels, which lead to health advisories. Recent community meetings convened by the EPA have sparked concern among local environmental groups over the effectiveness and transparency of the cleanup process. These groups, including representatives from Sierra Club and San Francisco Baykeeper, indicate that engagement has not met expectations despite efforts to gather public feedback and organize future cleanup plans.
Efforts to clear toxic pesticides from the United Heckathorn Superfund Site in Richmond are ongoing, but the EPA's previous remediation measures have proven inadequate, leaving contamination levels elevated.
Local environmental groups are expressing concerns over the EPA's handling of the proposed cleanup, saying that community meetings have not been as productive as expected, with limited transparency from federal officials.
