Indictment Alleges Metro Drum Co Violations
A federal grand jury indicted Sidney Levy and Steven Zubrin of Metro Container Corp for 17 counts under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. They allegedly stored toxic waste and dumped it into Stoney Creek at Second and Price streets, with waste concealed in rooms and sewers tampered to avoid monitoring. Metro Enterprise Container Corp. faces similar charges. Cleanup costs may run to millions. Superfund funds may cover part, with bankruptcy hindering recovery. Officials describe the crime as a major environmental violation with potential long term impacts.
