Massena, NY – The company known as "Old GM"- the asset liquidation offshoot created from the General Motors bankruptcy -- must put money aside for the environmental cleanup of several old contaminated factories. It's a condition of the federal government helping give the auto giant new life. Ryan Morden takes us to the home of the most contaminated property in the northern New York town of Massena.
