Durham, NC (WNCN) – Warning signs and orange fence are not in parts of the five Parks Durham and the dirt is not located. The parks are expected to be closed at least by year.
More than a year, the Department of North Carolina has been studying parks after Duke University’s leaders found the lead and pollution in the East Durham, Mpumalanga, Lysson, Packs.
On Monday night, Uncdeq and Durham Parks and leisure shares the latest test results made in five parks and what the process of advance progress involves.
People at a meeting held at the Walltown’s hobbies and urged the city to fix this as soon as possible.
“It is the basic that we do not have our society and our children are poisonous by the city’s property,” said a member of a public meeting.
Durham’s Parks and entertainment Director Wedett said the NCDEQ still has much tests to do. You hope the end of the year will have enough information to be able to put all the possible solutions of parks.
“That one has committed,” said Walcutt. “Whatever we get, we will build the options menu and the community to view. We will all say how we want to care for these parks and resubmit parks.
For cost, the Walcutt said that would depend on what the curtains the city last after the research was completed. $ 5 million to maintain eventually taken aside as part of the previous year’s budget. Walcutt said last month to apply for additional $ 7 million to be made.
Some people’s concerns at the meeting was why the city did not face the issue before Duke’s research.
“I can’t talk to the Durham history, but we appreciate the Duke gave this information,” Walcuttt said. “We took that estimated learner’s estimated learner, responding quickly. Soon, weighing that point, forming that data, to create informed decisions and decisions.”
