We have a “blue hill” just down the road from where I work. It’s in the middle of town and the state is putting in a highway on-ramp. It’s taking a long time and they seem to be very concerned with keeping dust under control (spraying water etc). My wife happened to talk to the general contractor, and he said it’s because the hill is full of asbestos. He also mentioned there’s an ongoing problem here with people taking the pretty blue rocks and using them to build chimneys and walls.
