Entity Resolution · Industrial History
How many names can one remembered General Motors plant have?
EPA’s Superfund records show that the Massena facility appears under multiple historical naming variants. Our Resource Center preserves those aliases so a memory, document or search result can resolve to one canonical facility without treating every name as a different site.
How to use this record. Read the documented evidence first, then open the evidence boundary for the limits of the specific source and period.
Documented evidence
- EPA identifies the site canonically as General Motors (Central Foundry Division), Massena, New York.
- EPA lists multiple alternate forms including G M - Massena, G M Central Foundry, G.M. Central Foundry, and General Motors/Central Foundry Division.
- EPA records describe the site as an aluminum-casting facility and preserve a long cleanup and regulatory history under the same site identity.
