EPA probes bias in Robbins waste incinerator permit
The EPA opened a federal inquiry into alleged environmental justice violations by the Illinois EPA granting Foster Wheeler a Robbins incinerator permit at 13400 S Kedzie Ave. The South Cook County Environmental Action Coalition filed the complaint in 1997, claiming the decision harmed nearby African American and Hispanic residents and could jeopardize federal funding if proven. Rival officials defend local support for the facility as an economic boon.
