The Times Beach disaster occurred in the early 1980s when the town of Times Beach, Missouri, was found to be contaminated with high levels of dioxin. The contamination was caused by waste oil that had been sprayed on the town's streets to control dust. The residents were forced to evacuate, and the town was eventually demolished and turned into a state park.
