| In December of 1998, The United States
Environmental Protection Agency started an investigation of the Eastland
Woolen Mill site. At that time, the agency mailed out the first
Community Update fact sheet to the residents of Corinna.
Since then, as the cleanup process has
progressed, the EPA has kept the people of
Corinna informed by issuing more Community Updates and holding numerous
public meetings.
Erin Heskett, who works in Public Affairs for
the EPA, has provided The Cattail Press with the text of the Community
Updates issued so far. They are informative and written for the general
public. These updates provide a good overview of the EPA's work in
Corinna.
