Kilian: Wauleco’s treatment system may get shut off. The community must act.
Wausau’s Independent: By Tom Kilian for Wausau Pilot & Review. The new owner of the Wauleco SNE Corp property, which is the former Crestline and SNE window manufacturing site, recently submitted a pilot plan to the DNR to shut down the groundwater treatment system. From my perspective, ceasing active remediation for the site is premature and inappropriate. And unlike years ago, when residents were less aware of the issue and, therefore, less empowered to do something about it, times have changed. Now our people can apprise themselves of the situation and take appropriate action, so that this severe contamination will finally be cleaned up thoroughly.
