The mound at Dean Street and Carlton Avenue is finally "slimed" with green protective covering
Atlantic Yards Watch

Yesterday, roughly a month after a mostly uncovered large mound of dirt appeared on block 1129, an incident report to this site reports "the mound was "slimed" with green stuff." The green stuff is presumably a protective covering to inhibit dust.
The photographs submitted with the report show one portion of the mound still covered with plastic and another with a slightly unnatural green hue.
Early this month this site reported that improper custodianship of the mound appeared to violate numerous commitments in the Amended Memorandum of Environmental Commitments. Since that time, ESDC has told this writer they continued to "reprimand" the contractor to ensure the dust pile is covered or wetted frequently, and that they requested an air monitor be placed near the pile to ensure air is not compromised.
