Summary

PABI reported in August 1999 that it had found a lawful way to dispose of debris from the Community House site. Katherine Ricksgers offered space at a gravel pit, PABI agreed to clean the site afterward, and Bob Banville offered his loader.

Evidence limits

The article records an agreed disposal arrangement, not proof that all debris was removed or that construction subsequently advanced on schedule.
