A construction manager at the Island Gateway development says concrete powder was deliberately dumped into one of the site’s stormwater drains.
According to police reports, the manager found the drain, which sits about 50 feet north of Winslow Way, clogged with hardened concrete on Tuesday morning. The concrete was caught in a drain “sock” where it hardened into a large block, police said. The drain flows directly into Eagle Harbor.
The manager said no concrete powder was being stored at the work site at the time of the dumping.
The manager told police that the incident could have been “damaging” to his company. Had state environmental regulators seen the concrete, the company likely would have been fined, he said.
