More activity at the Lerner Hole

Bill you must have talked things up lol. This site had been silent for a few months, and yesterday after reading your blog the trucks came back. This morning I have seen more activity at this site than ever before. Pickup trucks, dump trucks, and tractors.Feb 26

We need to know if they are digging or dumping dirt on the contaminated land. - Bill

Dumping instead of digging?

Feb 25 RH - Well I really dont know any more than that lol. Thats what I was told by a few people including my landlord when I moved into the building. The only thing I have noticed is 2 or 3 dump trucks per day coming to dump dirt in the hole. They did it for a couple of months this past fall. Since the winter I have not seen the dump trucks, but this afternoon a flatbed cam and dropped off a bulldozer at the site. I can e-mail you a couple of pics I took today of the site if you want them. 3:47 pm

Does this seem like the devolopers are trying to cover up the contamination instead of removing it from the Lerner Hole?

Does the IEPA know about this?

Does the IEPA know about the possible land contamination of the Wisdom Bridge Theatre property directly next door?

I need some comments with your thoughts on this.

RP1000 Update

The past few weeks have been the best!

Spent a lot of time at Artists of the Wall.

Visited Joe Moore and CTA President Ron Huberman at the new Howard Street El Entrance... and of course, lots of time BBQing, swimming and spending time on our public and private beaches.

New photos and video are on the way... including the lakefront landfill project, damage from recent storms, and discussion on neighborhood watches.
