Lived here more than fifty years, worked for GE here, not aware of that. There was a big waste remediation project at the former Fisher Guide plant, and of course the biggest one of all is Onondaga lake and 100+ years of dumping by Solvay Process, which to this day gets barely-treated sewage pumped into it by the city and no one seems to think it's anything to get excited about.
On the other hand, I know a few things about North Carolina, and a strange, strange pond.
Sounds interesting; care to share the details?
Was that pond on a hog farm...
Seems like a dream....
