For more than a decade, the Vertac company manufactured dioxin-contaminated pesticides in Jacksonville for use in the Vietnam war. Vertac officials left town hurriedly in the mid-1970s, abandoning some 30,000 leaking drums of chemical wastes. Despite local protests, Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton personally approved the Vertac site incinerator last November.
