Gainesville’s Cabot-Koppers/Beazer East Superfund Site – Norah Givens Testifies

Long-time Gainesville resident, Norah Givens, lives close to the still active Cabot-Koppers Superfund Site which lies at the very heart of the city and pollutes neighborhoods and waterways for miles around with dioxins, arsenic, and other such highly toxic and dangerous carcinogens. On the Public Record, she asks some of the many important questions on the lips of numerous local residents, to which there has been virtually no effective response or beneficial corrective action from any level of government since the site was federally listed nearly 27 years ago!
