Mutual Chemical Company of America operated a chrome manufacturing plant in Jersey City from 1895 to 1954. During that time, it deposited approximately 1.5 million tons of industrial waste residue containing hexavalent chromium into wetlands along the Hackensack River. In 1954, Allied Corporation purchased the plant and ended the dumping. It was succeeded by AlliedSignal Inc.
