Mysterious Green Liquid Oozing Onto Highway Identified
An anonymous reader quotes the Detroit Free Press:The mysterious, greenish-yellow liquid that ran onto a Michigan highway on Friday came from a closed electroplating business whose owner is serving a year in federal prison for operating an unlicensed hazardous waste storage facility... The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency was called to investigate and determined the liquid likely was groundwater contaminated with hexavalent chromium, according to The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE)... State officials said the liquid was entering a storm sewer on I-696... Crews spent Friday night vacuuming the sewers and eventually started on the basement at Electro-Plating Services, where green liquid was found in the basement pit. Workers were installing a pump in the basement pit to keep water levels down and "prevent more offsite migration," EGLE said. More than 5,000 containers of hazardous chemicals had already been removed from the site, according to the article. But state investigators have determined that there's no imminent risk to the public.Read more of this story at Slashdot.
