The Packard Motors test grounds were also in that area (see pic)
So was the US Army when the then-new Sherman tanks were put through their paces before they were shipped to Europe. I'm fairly
certain that Chrysler was working with the Army at the time. The military ceased all activity in that area long ago but it was the FoMoCo
that ended up owning almost all of it.

Oh for heaven’s sake. I’m a stone’s throw from this plant. We have city water. Our wells are for watering lawns and such. We treat our water before it comes out of our pipes.

It sounds like Government Motors is trying to choke out competitors.

The two chemicals are TCE, a known carcinogen, and TCA, an agent known to cause various human illnesses. Degreaser fluid.

A lot of compounds and elements that have been labeled “harmful” can be found in many plant places- including in food and people. The concentration of harmful substances is what needs to be known. TCA & TCE are not something I would worry about- organic solvents like this can bound/separated quite readily.
