After years of complaints about toxic pollution from the Trugain waste-oil refinery site at Rutherford, moves are under way to clean up the site.
Fairfax reports the Environment Protection Authority is calling for industry proposals to clean up the abandoned industrial site.
It comes after an EPA officer fell ill from breathing fumes during a recent visit to the Kyle Street plant and admissions from a government official the aging tanks at the site could fail at any time.
Industry representatives have until next Friday to submit proposals on how to tackle the clean-up, which is tipped to cost more than $10 million.
