Chromium in Spring Lake - Factory site contamination worse than thought

September 30, 2006

Spring Lake - Construction of the Mill Point Station, site of the former Miller-Smith factory, is temporarily delayed after the discovery of chromium under slabs of concrete.

It is fairly common for chromium to be found in abandoned industrial sites.

The area of construction is a brownfield, an area known to have previously been a toxic site. The cost for the project, initally at $170,000 will now be significantly higher, due to the need to haul the concret away to a nearby hazardous waste site.
