it'll be interesting to see what is actually in them.

well, we don't know, and that is the whole point of finding out. The absolute best thing is for these barrels to be relatively innocuous, and that is what I am hoping for, even if that means a lot of people where wrong about them. OTOH they could be filled will all sorts of nasty stuff, which will be hard finding $ to clean them up.

damn, they've found my stash.

Why would they go to all the trouble of dumping " old hand grenades" in the lake when they could have  just melted them down? And why, if they're just hand grenades,would it be "better to not disturb them"? This is from Nukewatch's website:

For four years, between 1959 and 1962, barrels containing benzene, PCBs, lead, cadmium, barium, hexavalent chromium and most likely radioactive materials were rolled off barges into the lake at spots all along the north shore. One of the seven acknowledged dump sites (there are more) is within a mile of Duluth-Superior drinking water intake -- just northeast of Brighton Beach.

Military you know what!!!

Fresh water;aww why would you worry about that.

benlskinner- What do base your humble opinion on? Uttering the magic words " conspiracy theory" won't make the problem go away. And re: money for the clean-up, Honeywell should have to pay for it's share of the mess it created.
