"EPA Announces $20M Investment for Long-Delayed Cleanup of Mass. Superfund Site"

The Nyanza Chemical Waste site in Ashland, one of the first Superfund sites in the US, caused a cancer cluster due to toxic dye and chemicals. The final phase of restoring the land is underway, with the EPA investing $20 million in cleanup. A memorial stands as a reminder of the deadly history, and the state continues to monitor cancer rates. Suzanne Condon warns that similar contamination could happen again, emphasizing the importance of vigilance and asking questions. The cleanup is expected to take about two years.
