Mr. Lange, what are you doing It seems to us that the EPA in the person A1 Lange is doing things just exactly as he wants without regard to people, property or guide lines. What are special circumstances that are talked about on page one when it came to the grandparents lot clean-u- p that have to remain confidential? Is A1 Lange taking money under the table? Is that why its confidential? A1 Lange says that the list is constantly changing and so different people get treated differently from time to time. We ask why? Maybe he is in cahoots with the contractors. When EPA wants environmental studies made they want to know everything and how it will effect the environment. There is nothing confidential there just because someone might get their feelings hurt. We think that A1 Lange is being very strange about his actions in the handling of his responsibilities in the Eureka City lead clean-uWe ask that A1 Lange come clean and let us know what he is really doing and why. We have never heard of a government project being as this one. y handled so All we want to see is this project handled on a fair and impartial basis.

In the previous list, we reported that their was a vacant lot, four properties owned by elderly people, and one property that doesnt have someone who lives there very often. There were actually two vacant lots on the previous list and they have both been taken off the list. The two properties with children have also been moved above the elderly people and the person that only lives here part time. Lange also said that he looks at each property separately and determines what will be done to these properties. He said that if it is more cost efficient and effective to replace a shed, he will.

He also explained that some people were done sooner than he planned because their design plans were done and he needed somewhere for the crew to go. 1 cant follow the list exactly. Up to date information comes in all the time and the list changes constantly, Lange said. Lange said that crews will be taking from July 3rd to July 8 off and then will work on properties from last year that need finish up work done and after that, then they will continue to work on the priority list. After the previous article was written, we talked to Paula Schmittdie! who will head up the remedial clean up after A1 Lange finishes the emergency clean up. We were told by Paula and A1 that they would get with us and explain why things were happening the way they were. When 1 asked A1 why this hasnt happened, he said, That would be nice, but it probably isnt going to happen. I set up the time and interviewed A1 without any action on his part to correct the concerns from the previous article. havent of Methodists Dustin Gourley to sponsor graduates Bible school Four wheelers I had a lot people I think to me. most complaining people are happy with the work we are doing, Lange said.
