If you go to Pittsburgh, you see the type specimen of Tyrannosaurus rex.

If you loop around Onondaga Lake, you pass the discovery location of new toxic chemicals.

I know, right...To be honest, I rather they find and get rid of any possible contamination first, if the lake could be used to its fullest potential again.

In all honesty, digging up 100+ year old coal tar goop probably would create more problems than it would solve. Planting thorny stuff on it so folks don't stray off the path there might be the most effective control measure. Who knows if the authorities see it that way, though.

They had the same issue and fears about a massive GE clean up in the Hudson, near Albany. I don't know how or if it's resolved, but I bet there's a lot of info out there.


I would recommend sheet piling around the contaminated areas and then remove the mess.
