Barrels of toxic waste discovered in Wildwood

In Wildwood, 3 barrels were recently discovered in a ravine in the outskirts. This new discovery is raising concerns about whether the land has been tainted. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) hauled them away this month, along with about 1,500 cubic yards of soil. The barrels were among at least 1,200 on the land of Grover Callahan, a driver for Russell Bliss, a notorious polluter. For some residents, the cleanup proves the EPA is going out of its way to alleviate concerns. Others wonder how the barrels were missed in the first place and worry about what remains buried.
