CROSS CONTAMINATION
1960's COVER UP:
It had long been suspected that the water tunnel, was surrounded by a toxic chlorinated plume, left over from World War II,
In 1965, NYC had planned to build a new Bypass Tunnel to circumvent the existing Rondout Reservoir, Ellenville, Napanoch, and the fractured limestone formations,
but revealing the cross contamination, during the height of the cold war, could have violated National Security.
