Localized Hazard - Thread - Urban Exploration Resource

During a series of explorations, I stopped by an EPA probe site, a building that had been mostly known for its toxic waste scandal.

First we checked out the scrapyard that had materialized next to the building, it had things like fiberglass containers in it; the yard also had bits of cranes and even a waterslide.

The place was moderately sized, and was active, there were other people inside, moving around big things which would echo throughout the property.

I was able to access one particularly large room, flooded with light. This area had numerous chemical containers, some labeled as "Neutralized Sludge" some as "Hazardous Waste"

This looks to be an old calculator for type-written paper recording long stings of numers; hence 'Sub Total'. We found an abundance of interesting stuff in this building.

Half of the room was covered in these deep pits of water, ranging in color from aqua to teal.

I love finding these, though I've never found one intact like this.

This area was some kind of addition I think, the windows look nothing like the arches of red-brick covering the interior.

The second floor was of wooden planks, it was spongey, saturated, warped, and would bend under your feet. I recall seeing an array of awards up here, aswell as typewritten-legal-documents that dated to the 50's.

Overall this factory warranted a lot of interesting parts, a lot of intact things aswell, there was no graffiti, and dispite having to avoid the others, it was a fun experience. I'm pretty sure the EPA has delt with the hazard, as the owner was given a fine that surpassed a million dollars some years ago.
