Story summary
  • Testing at a former Cheshire landfill found potentially unacceptable risks from toxic waste, including Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs).
  • The assessment showed low to moderate risks at the site and moderate to high risks at a nearby brook, with contamination and odor.
  • The risks do not confirm current harm, and further investigation is necessary.
  • The site accepted PCB waste from 1956 to 1975 and has no registered owner.
