===Environment=== The [[United States Environmental Protection Agency]] has identified Garfield as the site of groundwater contaminated [[hexavalent chromium]] from a spill in 1983 at the [[Garfield Groundwater Contamination Superfund site|E.C. Electroplating Corporation site]]. In 2016, the EPA announced a $37 million project to cleanup contamination at the site using [[Superfund]] money, as the company responsible for the spill of {{convert|3600|gal}} of [[chromic acid]] is no longer in business.<ref>[https://cumulis.epa.gov/supercpad/cursites/csitinfo.cfm?id=0206317 Garfield Chromium Ground Water Contamination], [[United States Environmental Protection Agency]], May 2014.
