Waste dump cleanup under way costly lesson for residents
Rollins Environmental Services has won a 350000 contract to haul about 1500 barrels of toxic waste from the Melvin Wade dump near Delaware Avenue and Flower Street. Work aims to finish in two months weather permitting, with hydrogeologic studies to gauge groundwater contamination and potentially multi million dollar cleanup if needed. The effort is funded from the Clean Streams Fund and may require legislative action to sustain long term disposal controls and penalties.
