Gluek Park Makeover
Revamped plans to clean up asbestos-contaminated Gluek Park along the Mississippi River in northeast Minneapolis could leave residents with a completely redesigned park.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency originally planned to dig out and replace 18 inches of soil, but now it will remove and replace up to 8 feet, said EPA officials. The change will cut the park's slope in half at certain locations to stave off erosion, said Sonia Vega, the local EPA coordinator.
