FORT PIERCE - Tons of PCB-contaminated dirt will finally be hauled
away from a soon-to-be designated brownfield known as Parcel 2 at the
former site of the H.D. King Power Plant in Fort Pierce.
The two-week haul-off will begin as soon as it is dry enough, said
Jon Ward, director of the city's Department of Urban Redevelopment.
Parcel 3 has been cleaned and work on Parcel 1 continues, Ward said.
The plant, which began operation about a century ago on North Indian
River Drive, has burned fuels such as oil, coal and natural gas. The
plant was razed in 2008 to make way for newer developments, but left
toxic chemicals, Ward said.
