No, it is far more than rumor. EPA documents clearly the Corp of Engineers talking with Dow Chemical in terms of the use of this disposal site. Moreover, DEQ communications show Dow’s engineers and attorneys frequently at the site. And a spokesperson for Dow has publicly stated their interest in using the site for their contaminated sediments which are thousands of times higher than the state or federal government consider safe.
