A new $75-million lawsuit filed in Hamilton court alleges that city officials conspired with people with mafia ties to dump contaminated dirt in rural Flamborough.
A lawsuit filed by Waterdown Garden Supplies, a Troy company owned by Gary McHale of Binbrook, names the city, a bylaw enforcement officer and a construction manager.
In the suit, McHale and others allege that the city shipped more than 1,000 loads of industrial soil from the Woodward Wastewater Treatment Plant, which is getting a $340-million upgrade right now. The soil, the suit says, is contaminated by boron, cadmium, mercury and benzo(a)pyrene.
