Gary Works
United States Steel is committed to providing you with information about ongoing environmental activities at the Gary Works facility, including the RCRA Corrective Action program, which will be conducted by U. S. Steel and the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(USEPA)
|
The purpose of this program is to:
|
 |
 |
Investigate releases of hazardous chemicals at or from Gary Works and determine if there is a threat to human health and the environment. This stage is called the
RCRA Facility Investigation.
|
 |
Evaluate cleanup options to address releases that may pose a threat to people or the environment. This stage is called the Corrective Measures Study.
|
 |
Complete interim and final remedies to protect human health and the environment. Cleanup actions performed before USEPA selects a final remedy are called interim measures. After USEPA selects a final remedy, the corrective action program will enter the Corrective Measures Implementation phase. At this stage, USS will construct the remedy chosen by
USEPA. |
U. S. Steel has Newsletters in
advance of any public meetings and monthly Progress Reports with information on the Corrective Action activities along with a
Glossary of Terms defining commonly used terms related to the RCRA Corrective Action program. Other activities relating to the RCRA Corrective Action program are
CITE (Community Involvement Team Effort) and the
Grand Calumet Dredging project. For more information
contact us or view the EPA’s list of
Frequently Asked Questions about
RCRA.
U. S. Steel has also created an Information Repository where you can view USEPA approved documents related to the RCRA Corrective Action Program at Gary Works. The Repository is housed in the Indiana Room at the main branch of the
Gary Public Library.
