Love Canal Chemical Waste Landfill (Niagara Falls, N.Y.)
Description
A school cleanup site where workers in white protective suits, yellow hard hats, and rubber boots are excavating a trench. Some workers are positioning large metal panels to reinforce the trench walls, while one is measuring the depth with a tape. An excavator arm is partially visible on the right, and a large yellow construction vehicle is parked nearby. Other workers are standing or kneeling on the grassy area behind the trench, with some pipes and construction materials scattered on the ground. In the background, a building with boarded-up windows and shrubbery can be seen. The ground appears muddy and disturbed.
