"In May of 2009, accidental discharge of chromium from BASF Plant in Hannibal, Missouri into the Mississippi-river reportedly contaminated the drinking water. The local Department of Natural Resources did not react at the time to test the chromium levels, but later tests in December 2009 showed the chromium levels did not exceed regulatory safety limits.[19]
Subsequently, BASF worked with the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MoDNR) to resolve questions regarding the elevated level of hexavalent chromium that was detected in the effluent from one of its permitted outfalls into the Mississippi River. The company notified MoDNR about the elevated level and collected tandem water samples for testing. The state department of health was also notified and upon reviewing the test results determined that the very small amounts found were well below recommended public health screening levels."
