MT. JULIET, Tenn. (WTVF/Nashville Bann.) — It’s on the periphery of a busy Mount Juliet shopping center, a place few people explore. But here’s a question. Even after 10 years or more, when pollution caused by construction is out of sight, should it ever be out of mind?

The developer says it’s done its best to clean up a small tributary that’s well hidden from view. However, an environmental group says walking away should not be an option.
