Pottsburg Creek Concerns
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The I-TEAM on Monday learned that local and state agencies are investigating complaints of illegal dumping into a Jacksonville waterway, and on Tuesday, a city councilman told News4Jax he’s following the situation closely.
Video from a neighbor’s drone shows what appears to be runoff from a nearby construction site entering Pottsburg Creek near Beach Boulevard and Hogan Road on the city’s Southside.
On Tuesday, the I-TEAM didn’t see any dump trucks coming or going -- much different than Monday when trucks were seen arriving at the site filled with dirt. The trucks were observed dumping the dirt, and a bulldozer put dirt from the site into the truck before driving away.
