A Chicago Department of Public Health official defended denying a permit for scrap metal shredder General Iron.
CPS officials have said the teachers violated several transportation and school credit policies in their efforts to teach kids about the issues.A top Chicago health official testified Wednesday that the denial of a Southeast Side metal shredder's permit was decided on multiple factors, including residents' concerns about cumulative air pollution and high rates of chronic diseases in the surrounding community.
Cunningham added that city officials were concerned about the "inherent risk" that large scrap metal operations posed, including potential explosions. On cross examination, Reserve Management lawyer Jeffrey Rossman asked Cunningham a series of questions related to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's involvement in the shredder permit, a related civil rights investigation by federal housing officials and Mayor Lori Lightfoot's possible influence in the matter.
Cunningham said such health assessments are being conducted routinely across the country and that they allowed her department to take a more comprehensive approach to deciding the permit.
