FCRC covers dirt mountain three weeks late, offers creative interpretation of air quality policy
Atlantic Yards Watch
 |
More than three weeks after it was created, a mountain of dirt the last two construction updates stated "will be completely covered" was finally covered last night.
The lack of covering has been a real concern to nearby residents because of the hazard dust will migrate from the stockpiled material. Dust did blow from a similar pile over the summer. Winter weather conditions, especially this winter, are erratic and do not reliably suppress dust.
...Until this week, no water misting was observed on the pile or during unloading. Further, the stipulation in the MEC to mist during unloading is not cited in FCRC and ESDC's statement.
