EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt, Region 5 Admin. Cathy Stepp and Gov. Holcomb in Whiting Indiana - About Federated Metals, a lead smelter which was just permitted by IDEM to discharge lead. They arranged to meet a property owner in the neighborhood just north of the Federated Metal's property in the back alley. They appear to be talking about test results for contaminated levels. The property owner showed them a plot a soil in the backyard. 

Toward the end Dave Dabertin, a former EPA attorney and neighbor approaches Gov. Holcomb about the problems.

This is just outside of East Chicago where 1,200 residents were force evacuated due to lead contaminated soil in the USS Lead Superfund Site.
