On certain days when they're burning petroleum based, you know, contaminated soil we do occasionally get smells that are petroleum. You can smell it's not burned completely, which is our biggest concern is how completely is this process going to be, and it may not smell, it may be even worse,” said Mike Dickinson.

It's probably the same pool of water that's under that plant now, and to add to it rain, bringing the air toxins to the ground and eventually to the water source. It's all concerning,” said Mike Dickinson.

The PCBs were made here at the General Electric plant, and it employed 1000s of people, and we took it on as a responsibility. Nobody liked it. Nobody wanted it to happen,” said Mike Dickinson. But it happened. But, the fact is that that was generated here and we handled it, or tax dollars handled it, but we dealt with it. But this is something that's coming from Air Force bases in Pennsylvania and surrounding communities and surrounding states. We're not generating PFAs here. So why bring it here?

I mean this is a fight that a small town like Fort Edward can’t fight. Not against someone—it’s terrifying because [Clean Earth] can reach in their back pocket for enough money to fight this little village. And the village, I don’t know how—I don’t know where it goes from here,” said Mike Dickinson.
