The caption can be elaborated further to discuss how any of the contaminants found on the site are more closely connected to the nearby river, to the Flint water crisis, and to other forms of everyday toxicity encountered by residents in the community (ex. would groundwater from the site leach into the river?_ If, as the author mentions, the site has become a symbol for local revival efforts, what notions of “environment” and “clean-up” are projected onto it and what kind of politics are these concepts connected to? For example, a bit more could be included about the working class nature of the site, and who the audiences are who go on tours- what are the stakes and potential problematics of emergent forms of ‘toxic tourism’? Have any other community groups formed different forms of commitment to the site, or to other locations of previous GM impact in the area?
