was the largest storage site in the United States for agent orange. It was 30 odd acres in size and was still being cleaned up in 2013. In 2016, the EPA laid out its plan for cleaning up an 8-mile stretch of the Passaic River in New Jersey, with an estimated cost of $1.4 billion. The contaminants reached to Newark Bay and other waterways, according to the EPA, which has designated the area a Superfund site. Since destruction of the dioxin requires high temperatures over 1,000 °C (1832 °F), the destruction process is energy intensive.
