He hadn\u2019t heard about the park.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf they really want to build the park, they&#8217;re going to have to clean up and fix things, and make sure everything is safe and that the park is good for people,\u201d Morales said.<\/p>\n<p>According to the remediation plan, contaminated soil will be dug out to a depth of 3 feet and replaced with topsoil and fill soil. Excavators and hauling trucks will remove about 242 cubic yards of soil, which will be taken to a hazardous waste landfill. In addition, pavement may be applied to block leftover toxins.<\/p>\n<p>Kimberly Gray, a professor with the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Northwestern University, said the hotspot removal approach is not enough to protect against contamination risks. She also mentioned that the clean-up process involves institutional controls, such as using pavement to block toxins, that limit how a property can be used to prevent contaminant exposure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInstitutional controls historically don&#8217;t usually work,\u201d Gray said. \u201cThey&#8217;re not a permanent solution. They tend to eliminate exposure in the short term, but the minute that institutional control or that cap is breached, it doesn&#8217;t function. So, if you have a concrete area and it cracks, then you breach that control. it&#8217;s just a cheap way to get around having to do [more cleanup].\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Aaron Packman, a professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Northwestern University, explained the complexity of cleaning up contaminated sites.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSometimes, depending on the contamination, It can be highly localized,\u201d Packman said. \u201cIf it&#8217;s everywhere, it&#8217;s easy to find. If it&#8217;s some pockets of [contamination] that have high concentration, it&#8217;s hard to find.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \" >\n\t<h2 id=\"digging-up-a-toxic-past\">Digging Up a Toxic Past<\/h2>\n<p>Ability Park\u2019s site has a controversial history.

Restrictions, including a ban on new wells and town rules that prevent its use for drinking, will limit exposure to harmful substances like vinyl chloride and lead.<\/p>\n<p>However, heavy rains could raise groundwater levels and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC8512142\/\">overwhelm<\/a> the sewer system, spreading existing contaminants.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf the groundwater is pretty shallow and this is an area that\u2019s subject to any flooding or ponding, you can get a release of that groundwater into surface water exposure,\u201d Gray said. \u201cThat would be the concern.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During the site investigation, groundwater was found between 9.9 and 15.8 feet below the surface, confirming it is shallow and could rise during floods.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe often get a lot of surface flooding, and if there&#8217;s contaminated soil, flooding moves it around,\u201d Packman said. \u201cIt&#8217;s something we can&#8217;t easily avoid.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cicero Independiente<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> was unable to obtain cleanup and design plans from Specialty Consulting for the site, originally referred to as Inclusion Park.\u00a0 When reporters contacted the firm for details on the remediation plan, a representative said the project wasn\u2019t on file, even though construction was already in the planning stages.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In addition, the Town of Cicero did not respond to requests for comment regarding park clean up and construction planning.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \" >\n\t<h2 id=\"ribbon-cut-community-left-out\">Ribbon Cut, Community Left Out<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"img-with-aniamtion-wrap center\" data-max-width=\"100%\" data-max-width-mobile=\"default\" data-shadow=\"none\" data-animation=\"fade-in\"  style=\"margin-top: 3%; margin-bottom: 3%; \">\r\n      <div class=\"inner\">\r\n        <div class=\"hover-wrap\"> \r\n          <div class=\"hover-wrap-inner\">\r\n            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-with-animation skip-lazy \" data-delay=\"0\" height=\"1280\" width=\"1920\" data-animation=\"fade-in\" src=\"https:\/\/borderlessmag.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/2024_09_CI_inclusive-design_2_web.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/borderlessmag.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/2024_09_CI_inclusive-design_2_web.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/borderlessmag.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/2024_09_CI_inclusive-design_2_web-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/borderlessmag.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/2024_09_CI_inclusive-design_2_web-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/borderlessmag.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/2024_09_CI_inclusive-design_2_web-240x160.jpg 240w, https:\/\/borderlessmag.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/2024_09_CI_inclusive-design_2_web-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/borderlessmag.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/2024_09_CI_inclusive-design_2_web-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/borderlessmag.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/2024_09_CI_inclusive-design_2_web-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/borderlessmag.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/2024_09_CI_inclusive-design_2_web-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/borderlessmag.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/2024_09_CI_inclusive-design_2_web-1500x1000.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/borderlessmag.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/2024_09_CI_inclusive-design_2_web-1245x830.jpg 1245w, https:\/\/borderlessmag.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/2024_09_CI_inclusive-design_2_web-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1450px) 75vw, (min-width: 1000px) 85vw, 100vw\" \/>\r\n         <\/div>\r\n      <\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \" >\n\t<p>After a published notice about the project in March 2023 in the Lawndale News, Cicero Housing Authority made the project details available for review in person and on the town\u2019s website. Cicero officials hosted a groundbreaking at Phil Fuentes Ability Park on Sept. 23. Attendees included representatives from the U.S. Department of Housing, State Sen. Mike Porfirio and Cicero Town President Larry Dominick.<\/p>\n<p>While residents interviewed outside their homes said creating a new park is positive for kids, they felt left out of learning important details about the project and providing input.<\/p>\n<p>The Town of Cicero declined to respond to questions about how it planned to involve community members in the planning process for the park. Jose Castellanos, a Cicero resident near the park site, said he finds it difficult to find news from the Town of Cicero and added that he didn&#8217;t know about the park project. He\u2019s interested in learning more because his toddler has a disability.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI [was curious] if [the future park] was one of those autism parks or something similar,\u201d Castellanos said. \u201cI would like something like that for my son. He\u2019s actually a little bit on the spectrum.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Castellanos said he would appreciate an inclusive space, but the contamination concerns him.<\/p>\n<p>While Cicero tackles the challenges at the site, numerous communities across the U.S. have successfully revitalized former industrial areas into vibrant, climate-friendly green spaces.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tpl.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/ccpe-brownfield-article-2012.pdf\">Discovery Green Park<\/a> in Houston, Texas, was built on a former railway yard and parking lot. The park not only addressed contamination through extensive clean-up efforts but also integrated stormwater management, solar panels and shaded green spaces to help mitigate the urban heat island effect. In Hoboken, New Jersey, officials have created a 5-acre park that doubles as a storage area for roughly 2 million gallons of stormwater runoff, according to <i>Inside Climate News<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, in Chicago, the Urban Growers Collective (UGC) is converting vacant lots into urban farms on the South and West Sides. According to Erika Allen, CEO of the collective, youth are a key part of the organization\u2019s work, learning farming and sustainability through hands-on experience.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur young people, especially this upcoming generation, they&#8217;re inheriting all of this contamination and an environment that is challenged with climate change,\u201d Allen said. \u201cWe&#8217;re really preparing things for them, to get them involved to make sure that they&#8217;re educated early, so that they&#8217;re involved in [remediating and cleaning] their environment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pedro Garcia has lived in Cicero for three decades. When informed about the site\u2019s contaminated past and the new park plans, he was shocked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf I knew that the park had some kind of contamination, then of course, I would be very aware,\u201d Garcia said. \u201cAnd I wouldn&#8217;t take my kids there for their protection. But if I knew that everything was safe and there were no problems, then of course, I would encourage them to go but just to be very careful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>This story was produced by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ciceroindependiente.com\/english\/cicero-news-climate-change-environmental-injustice-laramie-inclusion-park-phil-fuentes\">Cicero Independiente.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n\n\t<div  class=\"vc_col-sm-2 vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs wpb_column column_container vc_column_container col no-extra-padding inherit_tablet inherit_phone \"  data-padding-pos=\"all\" data-has-bg-color=\"false\" data-bg-color=\"\" data-bg-opacity=\"1\" data-animation=\"\" data-delay=\"0\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"vc_column-inner\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A medida que Cicero avanza en sus planes de construir un parque inclusivo de $2,7 millones de euros, crece la preocupaci\u00f3n por la retirada de tierra t\u00f3xica y los riesgos medioambientales en el antiguo emplazamiento industrial, lo que plantea dudas sobre la seguridad del nuevo espacio verde de la comunidad. <\/p>","protected":false},"author":52,"featured_media":23337,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[325],"tags":[634],"coauthors":[275],"class_list":{"0":"post-23351","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-environmentandhealth","8":"tag-inclusivepark"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Rooting out Risk: Cicero\u2019s Challenge to Build a Safe Inclusive Park &#8211;
