W.R. Grace silo tower, tanks, and industrial buildings in Alewife area of North Cambridge. Barrel tipped over on snowy ground. Smoke or steam issuing from exhaust stacks and vents. Corroded sign on post in ground “Danger Acid.” Pool of sludge adjacent to building. Big blue tank surrounded by rusted pipes. Indeterminate tan substance spread over ground next to bleachers. Interview with Mr. Stuart (of MBTA?) about chemical analysis of conditions on the future construction site of the red line extension tunnel. “We're getting strange high acid readings in the ground water” but not sure exactly what kind of contamination.
