Hear why the city believes it was safe to move polluted dirt to site next to Food Bank
When an engineering firm tested dirt that needed to be removed from the Convention Center expansion site, it found contaminates that it said needed to be moved to a qualified landfill at a cost of millions of dollars. The city got a second opinion from Raba-Kistner, another engineering firm, which said the dirt was not seriously polluted and could safely be spread over land near the Food Bank.
