Navy records show 50-60 toxic hot spots on the property and there are questions about how well these sites were cleaned up.
The most telling point to me is that McMillan trucked in six feet of clean topsoil before building on the home sites. Wouldn’t want anyone to test the soil in their front yard now would we?
McMillan told the city that he needed the extra height so the sewage would drain which is interesting since none of the historic buildings are being raised but I assume they will have bathrooms in them???
Here’s a website that tracks ongoing issues at Liberty Station: http://www.ntcsd.org/ – spend some time at this site if you want to see how badly the city and McMillan are screwing the public on this deal.

Liberty Station is a great location but the housing is a joke – $900K for a townhouse that is so close to my neighbor that we can hand each other recipes through our kitchen windows? I don’t think so … $900K for a townhouse built on a toxic site with questionable cleanup? I don’t think so …
Look for Liberty Station townhomes to drop below $600K before this correction ends
