Mysterious green ooze on Michigan highway came from waste site whose owner is in prison

Lanes will remain closed until Monday on a Michigan highway where scary-looking green fluid gushed from a retaining wall.

EGLE, then the Department of Environmental Quality, issued the business a cease-and-desist order in December 2016"for imminent and substantial threat due to the mismanagement of hazardous waste," the statement said.

EPA removed hazardous chemicals from the site after it was closed, but did not remediate soil or groundwater contamination. “Mr. Sayers and his company … are responsible for the cleanup of the land,” Madison Heights City Attorney Jeff Sherman told the Tribune. “There are high levels of chromium in the soil."Tons of chocolate spilled onto Polish highway after a truck overturned.

"Chromium metal is added to alloy steel to increase hardenability and corrosion resistance," the agency website says, noting that the compound "may be used as pigment in dyes, paints, inks, and plastics," and as an anti-corrosive agent.
