Seymour, Indiana was the scene of a one-day hearing on the Seymour Recycling facility, which was closed in 1980 because of improper handling of chemical wastes. Citizen concern centers on the fact that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) provided funds to study and plan a cleanup program, but no Superfund money was provided to carry out the plan to remove the threat of ground water contamination. Testifying at the hearing were 13 witnesses from the Seymour area and the EPA. The EPA response was that the problem rests with the state and local failure to match federal funds. (DCK)
