[edit]The 'Christian Education' section at the end is a bit much...someone should give equal representation to the other educational facilities in Herculaneum, I will remove the bulk of the entry, leaving adding the rest to others.PreciousRoi (talk) 07:22, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
Lead Problems
[edit]No mention at all of the lead problems in Herky? They lost a $300+ million lawsuit over dumping lead all over the town from the refinery. The refinery has been getting fined by the EPA since the 80s for environmental violations. They've had to buy out houses and other properties all over town because they're so contaminated. Here's a couple links to use if somebody wants to write it up: http://www.stltoday.com/news/local/metro/doe-run-timeline/article_29549272-3d89-5452-9326-a190ce0df8cf.html http://www.stltoday.com/news/local/metro/lawsuits-over-doe-run-lead-smelter-could-continue-for-years/article_415c0f78-03ee-5ed1-b533-75c1921ea038.html Phyrkrakr (talk) 20:42, 20 August 2014 (UTC)

Pollution
[edit]- The city of Herculaneum has a long history of lead pollution caused primarily by the Doe Run leadsmelter within the town. I plan on creating a subheading dedicated to this issue due to its significance.
