Landslide of contaminated soil threatens environmental disaster in Denmark
Authorities in Denmark are working against the clock to stop a slow-moving landslide of contaminated soil from reaching a nearby water source, as public officials and the company that operated the site argue over who should pay for the massive clean-up.
The 250ft-tall mountain of dirt at the Nordic Waste reprocessing plant south of the town of Randers in north-western Denmark contains some 100 million cubic feet of soil contaminated with heavy metals and oil products.
