About Resolute Castle

Exercise Resolute Castle is a U.S. Army Europe and Africa led, multinational, joint exercise which marries U.S. Army Reserve and National Guard, as well as allied and partner nation engineering unit training opportunities with the completion of real world construction projects that enhance training capabilities in various areas of Europe's eastern member-states. Resolute Castle is designed to reinforce regional partnerships and promote interoperability with host nation forces by providing improvements to existing infrastructure.

Resolute Castle 24 utilizes U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, and NATO engineers to increase partner capacity and strengthen capabilities across NATO’s eastern member states through real-world engineer-related training and the expansion of infrastructure in support of defender-series exercises.

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt visited the USS Lead Superfund in East Chicago, Indiana. The site was listed on the National Priorities List of the worst contaminated sites in the country in 2009. The site includes part of the former USS Lead facility along with nearby commercial, municipal and residential areas, including the West Calumet public housing complex.

EPA has taken the following remediation actions to expedite cleanup at the USS Lead Superfund in East Chicago:

· EPA resumed cleanup working in Zones 2 and 3 after the agency reached an agreement with several potentially responsible parties to fund part of this work at an estimated value of $16 million.
· Zone 2: EPA plans to remove contaminated soil at an estimated 72 high priority properties.
· Zone 3: EPA plans to clean up the yards at an estimated 120 properties. EPA will also test inside each home and conduct thorough cleanings as needed.
· At the Mayor’s request, EPA has done additional soil sampling which is being coordinated with pipe replacements.
