Local authorities in the Danish city of Randers are working against the clock to stop a slow-moving landslide of contaminated soil from reaching a nearby water source. Public officials and the company that operated the site are arguing over who should pay for the massive cleanup. The heap of dirt is at the Nordic Waste reprocessing plant in northwestern Denmark. Containing 3 million cubic meters of soil with heavy metals and oil products, it is slowly moving towards the village of Ølst which counts 400 inhabitants. "The stream, Alling Å, is in immediate danger of being polluted with both the soil, which will stop the stream, and also with pollution from the area," says a representative of Rander municipality, Karen Balling Radmer.
