Contractor says contaminated soil removed; neighbors asked who cleans up off‑site piles
Summary
Contractors said contaminated material discovered on or near the site has been removed and that an adjacent pile believed to be from a neighboring property remains the responsibility of its owner; staff said they had received site clearance for the city parcel.
A neighbor asked about large piles of "contaminated dirt" visible near the northern edge of the site. Contractors and county staff responded that the city parcel's contaminated material had been removed and that the city had received site clearance. "We already have gotten rid of the contaminated soil that was out there along the northern part... we've already... we were issued our site clearance," a contractor said.
Contractors said some concrete and material recovered from old pits will be crushed and reused on site. On the adjacent pile—suspected transformer/PCB contamination—county staff indicated it did not belong to the city parcel and control or remediation timelines were not under the city's direction; staff encouraged residents to raise issues with the owner or county enforcement where applicable.
Why it matters: residents raised environmental and health concerns about contaminated excavations; contractors stated removal for the city parcel was complete but the transcript did not record detailed testing results or disposal records.
