In this two-part episode, we examine the history of Love Canal, America’s most notorious toxic waste dump, which prompted the passage of CERCLA. In&nbsp;<a href="https://youtu.be/XMUdq1qEYzY" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">part one</a>, Thompson Hine attorney&nbsp;<a href="https://www.thompsonhine.com/professionals/hunt-nathan" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Nathan Hunt</a>&nbsp;tells the story of William Love and his ambitious plan to build a perfect city powered by free hydroelectricity in Niagara Falls, New York. Little did Love know that history would forever associate him with toxic waste instead of his ideal city. Nathan will explain who William Love was, his vision for the perfect city, why he wanted to build it in Niagara Falls, how he planned to get people and businesses to move to Niagara Falls, and why (spoiler alert!) the project ultimately failed. Part two covers the environmental catastrophe that made Love Canal a household name in the 1970s and galvanized support for the passage of CERCLA in 1980.
