EPA grants plant to inject Hazardous waste into ground:
The Romulus, plant will inject the waste into a layer of spongelike rock about 4,500 feet below the surface. Set on 15 acres at Citrin Drive near Inkster Road and I-94, will treat up to 400,000 gallons of liquid waste per day from industrial sites throughout the United States and Canada.
How could they: The investment in the project includes at least $10 million by the Detroit Policemen and Firemen Retirement System.

Douglas Wicklund, president of Environmental Disposal Systems, could not be reached for comment Monday. Read more here
