- Title
- Toxic Waste found in CNY Backyards
- What occurred
- Toxic waste from the General Motors Inland Fisher Guide plant was found in the backyard of 19 homes in Salina, NY. PCB's were found to have been buried in these backyards, creating a major health risk for those residing on the land. The company that produced these chemicals closed in 1993, leaving behind toxic pollution in Ley Creek, which flows into Onondaga Lake in Syracuse. This trail of waterways allows the PCBs to travel and end up in inconvenient locations such as recreational and household land.
