#Omaha Is Home to a Massive #Superfund Site. Most Kids Living There Aren’t Tested for #Lead
by Chris Bowling, Flatwater Free Press
April 15, 2026Excerpt: "For more than a century, smoke from a lead smelter and other factories deposited 400 million pounds of the #toxic metal across the city’s east side. That prompted the Environmental Protection Agency to begin investigating the pollution in 1999, and a few years later, the agency declared 27 square miles of east Omaha to be a Superfund site. Over more than two decades, the EPA and the city have dug up and replaced nearly 14,000 yards, from about a third of the site’s residential properties.
Faced with similar public health concerns about lead, 13 states, including #NewJersey, #Louisiana and neighboring #Iowa, have passed laws requiring universal #LeadScreening, meaning all kids would get a blood test before entering kindergarten.
But not #Nebraska."

As the Richmond Shoreline Alliance has pointed out, a full cleanup of the United Heckathorn Superfund site is needed to resolve the problem at its source--and avoid compounding consequences later https://www.mercurynews.com/2025/08/05/cleanup-of-toxic-richmond-waterway-creates-divisions/

Attention, Richmonders! The United Heckathorn Superfund site is a major source of pollutants contaminating #SFBay & the Richmond shoreline. The site was supposed to be cleaned up in the 90s, but that effort failed.
The EPA is working on a plan to get the site cleaned up and is holding a series of meetings to raise awareness and hear community concerns.
The next meeting will be held on Zoom on Wednesday, 5/21 from 6:30-8:00pm. The discussion will focus on why the first cleanup was ineffective.

Attention #Richmond residents! A Superfund site known as #UnitedHeckathorn is a major source of DDT and other pollutants contaminating the Bay and shoreline. The site was supposed to be cleaned up in the 90s, but that effort failed. We want to make sure that doesn’t happen again.
On 4/23 the #EPA will host a Zoom call to engage with the community where they will describe why the last cleanup failed and the plan to move forward.
Please bring your questions for EPA and state officials! https://usepa.zoomgov.com/meeting/register/8SlhuBdVTZ-xuoEGnusbZA#/registration
