Hazardous Waste Coming to Michigan

Sep 2, 2024

A hazardous waste dump in Belleville, Michigan is being permitted to receive radioactive nuclear waste and radioactive ground water to store on its site.

The waste HAD been stored since 1944 in another state. It is waste from the Manhattan Project that developed the atomic bomb.

In 1992, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that trash—such as radioactive waste—is “articles of commerce.” The Supreme Court decided states are NOT permitted to block corporations from making money off this “commerce.”
