The remediation of Maywood
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is safely cleaning up the former Maywood Chemical Works FUSRAP site in New Jersey.
It is the 1940s in Maywood, N.J. A new residential community has sprouted up, and the homeowners want to beautify their front lawns, so they go to a nearby property to gather some fresh topsoil. Little did they know that they’re helping to plant the seeds for one of the largest and most high-profile environmental cleanup projects in the nation.
