The city of Dallas is facing legal troubles over its storm debris operations in North Dallas.
Medisend College of Biomedical Engineering Technology, a small non-profit college designated for military veterans, filed suit against the city, claiming dust and dirt pollution from its temporary storm debris site next to the college has damaged its building and forced it to close or scale down classes.The city’s site is near I-635 and Greenville Avenue in North Dallas. The site is about five football fields long.
“They're mulching and grinding trees and dirt, wood, plastic, etc., and creating huge plumes of dust and debris that are left onto the top of our building and clogging up our air conditioning systems,” said Nick Hallack, founder and president of the college.Judicial District Court of Dallas County alleges that ‘the city's operations are causing dust and dirt pollution to blow onto the school’s property and into commercial air conditioning units, causing them to clog and fail.
