Description
A large blue trailer marked "U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Environmental Emergency Response Unit, Edison, N.J." is positioned behind a chain-link fence along a residential street. Stacks of lumber lie next to a yellow fire hydrant in the foreground. A stop sign and leafless trees line the sidewalk. Power lines cross overhead, and a white cylindrical tank is visible near the trailer. The sky is overcast.
