Love Canal Chemical Waste Landfill (Niagara Falls, N.Y.)

View of a rocky and uneven shoreline with various debris, including concrete pieces and metal scraps along the Niagara River upstream from the Love Canal Chemical Waste Landfill site, Niagara Falls, New York. The water’s edge appears murky, with scattered plants growing along the bank. On the opposite side of the waterway, partially obscured by trees and shrubs, is a white two-story house with a porch. Dense green vegetation lines the hillside to the right of the house. The overall setting suggests a polluted and neglected waterfront area near residential housing; photographed by Penelope D. Ploughman.
