The Oneida Nation of Wisconsin is worried about a proposal to dump cancer-causing chemicals in a landfill near the reservation.
Tribal officials met with the state Department of Natural Resources to discuss their concerns.
They are worried that PCB-laced sediment might leak into wetlands, springs and land near the Oneida Bingo & Casino in Hobart.
Georgia-Pacific needs state approval to dump the waste. A decision is due by Friday.
