Honeywell's Hidden Legacy: 350 Tons of Military Waste Dumped in Lake Superior
Decades after it happened, evidence has surfaced that in 1959 and 1962, Honeywell Inc. dumped over 350 tons of military waste into Lake Superior.
The waste, which included scrap metal from experimental artillery warheads, was allegedly 'absolutely did not contain radioactive or hazardous materials,' according to Honeywell representatives at the time.
The dumping took place despite federal regulations and laws in place to prevent such actions. The company's involvement in this matter has raised concerns about environmental safety and the long-term effects of this pollution on the lake and its ecosystem.
