Citizens for Safe Water Around Badger (CSWAB) advocates for cleanup and removal of toxins in and around the former Badger Army Ammunition Plant. The area is a Formerly Used Defense Site (FUDS) that is being cleaned up under the DoD counterpart of Superfund. As technical expert, ESC reviews reports on ecological and human health risks, advising the best course of cleanup action. ESC has considered the health effects of the breakdown products of DNT, a man-made, cancer-causing chemical used in explosives, and how they might affect the area’s drinking water as well as deer population.
