In case anyone thinks the toxic waste is an exaggeration

quote:

Yemut said the site still needs a series of extraction wells to remove methane and other gases from 157 tainted acres, but it could be installed in six months to a year once a final plan for a stadium is approved.

The property, which includes an additional 11 acres outside the landfill, is already equipped with wells that pull out groundwater fouled with industrial solvents, he said. The water is then treated and piped into the sewer system.

Eventually, the parcel would be capped with high-density plastic to prevent garbage-spawned gases from leaking into the air. The cap would be topped with layers of new soil, Yemut said.

"It will be expensive," he said of the remaining work, estimating the monthly costs of operating just the gas extraction wells at $200,000 to $300,000.

-

The league itself has considered buying the Carson site at least three times. The land's tangled history as the old Cal Compact dump — a repository of heavy metals and pesticides — and as a lawsuit magnet had spooked investors for years. Among the previous promoters of its football potential to be ultimately frustrated was Hollywood deal-maker Michael Ovitz.

-

Yemut said the wells and monitors would remain in place permanently — and be largely invisible to football fans — to ensure there are no health risks. He said the stadium would be anchored on piles plunged deeply into the earth. Proper construction design would further mitigate any hazards from fires or earthquakes, he added.

It's bad but not that bad. The remediation plan makes sense and covers what it needs. If the toxic substance situation was really bad it would be a) a Superfund site and b) human activities would not be permitted. Instead, the EPA is using the Brownfields program to cover the cleanup. Basically this means that the EPA doesn't think people or the environment will be harmed once the waste is contained.

loving this. The A's locked up a 10 year lease on the coliseum while they try to figure out they're own hosed up situation. They almost had a deal to build in fremont, now they're looking near jack London square, SJ is still holding out their pipe dream of getting them down there.

Meanwhile, any plan at the current coliseum site has to accommodate them first.

I want Davis to suddenly roll out a plan that incorporates all Oakland sports into one, so the A's, Warriors (I think), and Raiders get a stadium, then move SJS to Oakland for the hell of it and create a Oakland sports mecca.

Move it all South to San Jose please. We've got this shiny new stadium and no football team to play in it.

I like any new stadium design that fans out the cheap seats so they're 600 yards from the field. Might as well watch the drat game on TV.


I also support any location that can find me a museum job. I would like to leave the Midwest for a while.
