What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The North Vernon Utility Service Board confirmed that cyanide detected in the city’s municipal sewer system originates from local industrial discharges, not the plant itself. The board ordered mandatory weekly testing for cyanide and nickel at local industrial facilities, including Metaldyne. The city plans to tighten municipal sewer discharge limits over the next six months.
