 The plants where so many of our members once worked are, of course, long gone. The sites sit more or less empty still. The Lansing State Journal has a good article on what may or may not be done with the sites.
Three of the four sites have soil and groundwater contamination, but don't pose immediate health hazards, according to a Michigan Department of Environmental Quality geologist. Um, yeah, that's the same MDEQ that said Flint water was safe to drink.
I must say the old Plant 2 site has had some stunning displays of wildflowers, including this past June, though it's dry now. If it's not mowed too early in the breeding season, it could be an oasis for our dwindling grassland birds. A friend of mine lives near an abandoned golf course in Detroit and saw a bobwhite there this morning!
