Officials push for transparency on testing around Shoosmith Landfill

Local, state, and federal officials held a closed-door meeting to address the leaking Shoosmith Landfill in Chesterfield, which is discharging 50,000 gallons daily of toxic leachate. A criminal investigation into the landfill's out-of-state owners is underway, and $10.6 million in emergency funds has been allocated for cleanup efforts. Residents demand public disclosure of water and soil test results around the site.
