Snow Dump


I saw this the other day. The city removed the yellow cement barriers to this small park.


This is where they moved them to.


Irony : Dumping at a no dump park.
So they started dumping snow in it. It is their property so they have the right to do what they want with it.
I would expect a warning sign to be put up in the spring-summer , warning people not to play there with their children or pets, unless they want to ingest toxic materials from the ground.
I don`t think they will put up a warning sign.
Then if a child or a pet gets poisoned by lead or whatever toxic materials are left over when the snow melts, no one will be able to trace it back to its source. Who is going to pay for the tests to the land (summer grass) to prove the point of origin? Sue the city etcetra?

Lead poisoning stories

"I had been involved in doing lead work already, and I discovered that her childcare center in the state of Minnesota had interiors that were very well maintained, but they let the children go outside in basically a hazardous waste site because nobody had bothered about the outside.

She was playing in a sandbox and around the sandbox was soil contaminated with lead..."
