    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The Environmental Protection Agency will address its plan to clean an industrial site leaking cancer-causing chemicals to dozens of Grand Prairie homes this week.

    The agency has scheduled a public meeting Thursday to discuss its investigation of the site, abatement strategy and timeline.

    Roughly 80 homes in the predominantly low-income Burbank Gardens neighborhood are contaminated by toxic chemicals discarded by defense contractor Delfasco Forge.

    Delfasco Forge — which made practice bombs for the Navy and Air Force and machinery during the 1980s and ’90s — used TCE to clean equipment.

    Federal and state authorities have acknowledged anger with the slow-moving process but said the timeline is consistent with this type of toxic site.

    For now, the agency and the Texas State Department of Health Services urged residents to request a free vapor mitigation system be installed in their homes.
