El Dorado County has a serious contamination issue which County officials, to date, have been ignoring and denying. The contamination is in the pathway of a road being planned for a future retail strip mall.
There is a Grand Jury report on the illegal grading that may have released these contaminants. Two major concerns are:
1) The County continues to buy properties that have been contaminated, and
2) The County does not think it is their responsibility to notify adjacent property owners of the contamination.
