ford settled in 2009. For about $12 million. Wow. An exec's quarterly bonus. They really care.
They f'd up the land bad. They also tried to walk away from clean up consistently for years. The settlement requires them to clean it up, but they aren't and haven't. For the record, they dumped benzene and dioxin, both known carcinogens, which they claim was perfectly legal at the time because the township allowed it at the time.
But as far as the "story" goes i can't find crap. The only thing i see going on in ringwood is some deforestation/reforestation proposals for an existing gas pipleline i guess they want to expand:
