This is a case of something that happened 50+ years ago, comming back to haunt a company years later, because it is not suitable by todays standards. While I understand the enviormental impacts and concerns, a company shouldn't be punished for something that happened 50 years ago. From what I can tell the in the brief reading I did the company that created this problem has now through multiple mergers become Keyspan. As a company they had now involvement in the situation 50 years ago. They have however purposed a reasonable clean up. From what I can tell it sounds as though the people and town think more should be done. I think that if more aggressive plans are felt to be warrented the towns people better be ready to kick in some money for the project. The town didn't push hard enough to clean this up 50 years ago, they are also to blame.

Way to often companies are getting punished for enviornmental disasters and being asked to clean them up, when the disasters happened many years ago knowingly to the public. I don't believe it is correct or proper to punish a company for something they did in the pass, that has only been deemed a disaster by todays standards. They are hard lessons to learn for sure, but life is about learning and mistakes happen.
