One of the environmental/groundwater sites I spent a great deal of time at - it was the first environmental site I had been to while working at BB&L, was the GM Malleable Iron Foundry in Saginaw, MI.
This map shows the boundary of the property: wikimapia
Today I was looking to see what was still there and found little left of the place on Google maps, so I traced further back on the web news to see what had happened.
It's interesting that on the google map it doesn't look like even the environmental treatment plant is there anymore.
It appears that right near the southwest corner of the property is the Green Point Environmental Learning Center, which we never visited while working there.
