Last year, Louisville experienced 187 good days, 157 moderate days, 20 days that were unhealthy for sensitive groups and one unhealthy day in 2023.

Last month, a judge lowered Marc Hibel's bond, allowing him to post $10,000 and be released on HIP as long as he undergoes in-patient mental health and addiction treatment for two weeks.

After months of planning, crews have started dismantling a home in Louisville's Highview neighborhood where dangerous chemicals and explosives were found in July.

Leaders said crews will remain on site as a precaution, but they do not foresee people needing to leave their homes.

The removal of mercury is expected to take three days, but restoration could take several weeks.

The EPA will coordinate the cleanup of the site next week. 

Acting on a tip, police found more than 20 dangerous chemicals in the home and arrested its owner July 27.  

Representatives with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will be on-site this week in Louisville at the home in Highview containing explosives and hazardous materials.

There are more than 20 different chemicals on the property.
