I have seen an entire basement have it's soil removed by use of a vacuume truck. The soil can be loaded into a sealed container and transported without any exposure to anyone.There would be no dust if this is a major consern.

My concern is for the teachers and students - the district should offer free lead testing for all students and faculty that were in the school since the initial realization of contamination in 1999.
Especially the art teachers that have been in the basement teaching all day breathing in the dust.

I agree it sounds just like one of them....mike is one of their friends.....i wouldnt trust him.....Hey mike the concrete is not exposed to the weather outside so how would it crack? And if im not mistaken someone told me that mike was the person who removed his name from the so called commettee.....Why are you getting involved now because the school board with exceptions of one are doing the right thing....Leave it alone and lets move forward and stop wasting our money on law suits. Lets use our tax paying money on our kids education. most of the money in our budget is going to the laywers because of the so called law suits.. I think the doh knows what they are doing and would not put their job on the line with a wrong answer on how to handle the remaining lead...Think about it would you put you job on the line in this day and age....When people are lossing jobs and houses because of all the lay offs? I wouldnt!

I'm not Mike and I'm not a contractor, just a concerned homeowner who is tired of wasting money because a MAJOR DANGEROUS HEALTH PROBLEM was not dealt with correctly in the first place. Concrete can crack indoors in a basement whenever the building shifts or the ground settles for some reason, like a minor earthquake. And please don't tell me we don't experience earth tremors on Long Island. Let's just fix the problem once and for all, then go after whoever was responsible for the mess and try to recover the lawyer costs from them. Maybe we need Andrew Cuomo's help since we're not getting help from Nassau County officials.
