Grand Prairie company cheats EPA after war profits

Delfasco Forge, which makes practice bombs for Air Force and Navy pilots, has filed for bankruptcy rather than clean up an old metal forge site:
The bankruptcy comes less than two weeks after the Environmental Protection Agency ordered the company to clean up trichloroethylene, a noxious liquid found in groundwater near property owned by Delfasco Forge.

“We intend to work cooperatively with the EPA to some form of resolution,” said Steve Yoder, the company’s lead attorney. “At this stage it’s too early to tell how that will turn out.”

What Yoder is saying it, it’s too early to see how much he can get his company off the hook.
