Pix From GE Hudson Falls Ground Zero

By Joe Davis

This photo (click to enlarge) shows a crowd of venturesome and inquiring SEJ conference-goers at the overlook next to the now-closed GE capacitor plant at Hudson Falls, NY.

They are less than 20 feet from the outfall from which much of the PCB contamination that created a Superfund site out of the Hudson entered the river. When the river is a little higher, water spills over the dam at lower right onto the dark-colored rocks beyond the overlook.
