The Incinerator | |
In 1989 the City, EPA, and Westinghouse Electric signed a Consent
Decree to clean up the PCB contamination in Bloomington, Indiana. The
Decree was the result of the lawsuits brought by the City against
Westinghouse for polluting several City properties. Incinertion was the
chosen remedy, and this site was to be a trial for a new incineration
technology which featured using municipal garbage as the fuel. The public
had little faith in this untested technology, and after several years
battle, incineration was abandoned as the remedy. These documents will
give you some idea of the battle of minds and wills that occured here.
