The City of Durham is fencing off 35 additional lead-contaminated areas of Walltown, East End, East Durham, Northgate and Lyon Parks today, based on new guidance from the EPA. Portions of these parks are contaminated with lead, the legacy of municipal incinerators that operated – or whose waste was disposed of – there until the early 1950s, Newsline previously reported. Four of the five affected parks are in historically Black neighborhoods.
