remember when Tom Brokaw had an anthrax letter in his desk a few years ago? yeah, his desk is up by niagara falls. I guess there is somewhere you can access what exactly is dumped there. This list is supposed to have been made available to the residents. ---

my great uncle worked as a “disposal supervisor” for the steel plant that used to be along seneca street back before there were any regulations. I think they built a greenhouse on the site now. When they were clearing the site for the greenhouse, they re-hired him back for a few months after being retired for 15+yrs. to try and find where they had buried waste and he said most of the barrells that they could find were almost always broken open or rusted apart and whatever was in them had leaked out and was gone, right into the creek there. ---
