Dedicated to a healthy environment in the Schenk - Atwood neighborhood in Madison, Wisconsin.
In 2007 Madison-Kipp completed a project to install tall stacks to disperse its air pollution. Short roof vents barely higher than surrounding homes were eliminated and 12 new stacks were installed. This project was required by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources to finally correct violations of air quality standards in the residential areas adjacent to Kipp's aluminum foundry. The taller stacks reduced the metallic and waxy smells that for many, many years had permeated the surrounding neighborho
The DNR had finally concluded that Kipp had been violating air quality standards, exposing neighborhood residents to unhealthly levels of air pollution. After this major project, no one at Kipp, the city health department or the DNR acknowledged to residents that the company and agencies had been wrong for so many years, and had failed miserably to address the hundreds of complaints from surrounding residents.
