What is

Got Lead.org?

GotLead.org is a project put together by the City of Omaha Lead Information Office to create a one-stop location for people to learn about lead poisoning and risks of exposure. We realized that there’s a lot of information out there, and it’s hard to dig through it all. So, we went about gathering as much relevant information as we could, then turning it into this website.

The result is GotLead.org — a resource that can be used by all of Omaha’s residents to educate themselves about lead poisoning and its effects. 

The Lead Information Office (LIO) is managed by the City of Omaha Planning Department, Community Development Division. The purpose of the LIO is to answer questions and provide documentation to property owners, real estate agents and housing organizations about activities undertaken by the EPA and City of Omaha to correct lead hazards associated with the Omaha Lead Superfund Site. Every day the LIO answers the following questions:

• Has my soil been tested for lead?
• What are my soil results?
• How do I interpret the soil results?
• Who will clean up my yard?
• What will be cleaned up?
• How long will the clean-up take?
• Do I disclose my property was tested and remediated when renting or selling the property?
