The $718,169 CHS Dirt Movement

by The Editors on November 10, 2008

The City of Carlsbad is expected to approve a $718,169 bid by McCarthy Building Companies Wednesday night to move the arsenic-laced dirt from the Carlsbad High School football field, according to a story in the North County Times.

Clean-up work is expected to start Nov. 24 and take less than a week. Once the soil is removed, work is expected to start on a new stadium on the campus. . . . District officials expect to be done with the renovation work in 2011.

And to think: our parents always said there were better things to do than spend our days digging in the dirt. If we’d known we could make three quarters of a million dollars a week hauling dirt we never would have wasted time learning to type.
