After years of trying to deal with a property contaminated with heaps of toxic carpet scraps, the town of Warren has been awarded $4 million from the U.S. Environmental Protection to help clean it up. Warren will use the funding to clean up the 71-acre former Steamship Navigation site on Route 90, which has been littered with 300,000 cubic yards of carpet since the late 1990s when Chester Randall Dunican and his wife Kathleen began dumping the material there to serve as berms for a proposed rifle range.
