Where did Dow Chemical dispose of surplus Agent Orange after 1976?
According to an article from the Detroit Free Presspublished in the 1980's, Dow Chemical disposed of several tons of Agent Orange and DDT into small landfills where two prisons now stand in Jackson, Michigan. The Agent Orange was buried in a clay lined pit beneath where the dining facility now stands at G. Robert Cotton Correctional Facility (the chronic medical and parole facility for the state), and the DDT was simply buried in an unprepared hole beneath the dairy barns (abandoned now) at the Southern Michigan Correctional Facility (that prison has been condemned twice, painted both times, and renamed with new mailing addresses).
It is important to note that these prisons are located across Cooper Street from each other and share the same water wells that also serve a portion of the city of Jackson. At the time the article was published, the state Department of Agriculture discovered in a routine inspection of the dairy barns that DDT was leaking above ground so badly the chemical was melting the soles of the inspectors' boots.
