There's a lake not far from me in Raleigh, NC that I often run past. The lake is used for recreation. It's also an EPA Superfund site because a company long since out of business, Ward Transformers, saw fit to dispose of its polutants right into a ditch behind the plant. The chemicals ran off into the lake and streams for miles. All the nearby waterways warn not to eat the fish caught therein. At one point, a contractor hired by the company to dispose of the chemicals was caught spraying them along rural roadsides. http://sph.unc.edu/superfund-pages/srpresources/ward-transformer-superfund-site-resources/ http://sph.unc.edu/superfund-pages/srpresources/ward-transfo... https://sph.unc.edu/files/2015/08/SRP_Soil-Still-Toxic-25-years-later.pdf https://sph.unc.edu/files/2015/08/SRP_Soil-Still-Toxic-25-ye...
