Pensacola, Florida's westernmost city, has weathered many storms in its 450-year history, but one of the worst has been the toxic legacy of a waste site locals call "Mount Dioxin." According to Inside Climate News, the groundwater cleanup at this Superfund site is finally set to begin this fall, decades after the site was first designated.
The long delay stems partly from bureaucratic mismanagement, which led the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to relocate its efforts at the site. The report does not detail the exact nature of the contamination or the cleanup method, but it makes clear that the upcoming work marks a significant step after years of inaction.
