Crews digging up, cleaning up radioactive waste at mouth of
Saginaw
River Bay City Times By Jeff Kart They've been digging out hundreds of tons of radioactive waste
and
contaminated soil from an old Dow Chemical Co. site across from the Consumers Energy's Karn-Weadock power plant. http://www.mlive.com/news/bctimes/index.ssf?/base/news-7/1151421332260430.xml&coll=4 Snip
The slag is a byproduct of castings made at a magnesium foundry that
Dow operated in Bay City from the 1940s through the 1960s. It's been buried by
the Saginaw Bay for decades.
Living dangerously with Dow Chemical indeed! What else can this
company do to Lake Huron? Phosphorous, dioxins, furans, radioactive
waste........................
