As a direct result of a terrific fight waged by Lois and her neighbors in the late '70s, President Jimmy Carter in 1980 responded to pressure in a human way, and the federal government bought 235 homes and moved the families out. After nearly a decade of eyewash and promises, it has become clear that the Superfund program to clean up 1000 chemical dumps isn't going anywhere. The EPA has not been able to clean up Superfund dumps because cleanup technology really doesn't exist, at least not for the sums of money the EPA is willing to spend, so people are demanding to be moved out, relocated, resettled. They want the terror to stop, they want their children's health given back, they want peace of mind.
