Williamsburg a toxic dump?

There are several residential developments currently under construction in the area, which is believed to be contaminated by an oil spill that may have spread from a ruptured tank at North 11th and Roebling. Neighborhood activists are calling for testing of the area to determine the reach of the toxic spill. more [Gowanus Lounge]
