There have been decades of manufacturing there...I would imagine there has been a lot of leaching of petro chemicals in the area.
Lots of brownfields here in Flint; the old Buick City complex, Chevy in the Hole... Heck, last I heard, the EPA could not even get grass to grow on quite a few spots on the 100+ acre Chevy site. Decent overview of Chevy in the Hole efforts here
they are saying the break in is an inside job
Days before the federal government opened an investigation into the Flint water crisis, someone broke into a vacant City Hall office full of documents related to the embattled Michigan city’s water system.
Nearly three months later, officials have confirmed that a TV went missing, but little else is known, according to the Flint Journal.
Without suspects or a firm handle on what else may have been swiped, authorities told the paper last week that the crime may remain unsolved.
No warrants have been issued in the case, but officials don’t shy away from speculative statements that stop just short of conspiracy theories.
“It was definitely an inside job,” police chief Tim Johnson told the Journal. “The power cord (to the TV) wasn’t even taken. The average drug user knows that you’d need the power cord to be able to pawn it.”
