Contaminated dirt on the piece of land in Dallas once known as"shingle mountain" is being removed.
The area had been a dumping ground for old shingles since the 1970s and had grown to a height of 60 feet and was estimated to weigh about 100,000 tons. The same company that removed the shingles will remove the contaminated dirt. Air monitors were installed in the area in July and will continue to be monitored to protect workers.
