Love Canal Chemical Waste Landfill (Niagara Falls, N.Y.)
Description
A school cleanup site where workers wearing white protective suits and yellow hard hats are conducting environmental remediation. An excavator marked "Koehring" is positioned on the muddy ground, with its bucket raised near a rust-stained metal container. Another crane with a suspended block is visible on the left. The area is heavily disturbed, with piles of dirt and mud covering the ground. The background features brick school buildings with large windows and a central glass corridor. Trees are visible beyond the buildings, and the atmosphere appears overcast.
