WACO (January 27, 2010) More problems at the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame and Museum expansion site, as a state agency says the City of Waco is now allegedly violating environmental laws.

The allegation: The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality says part of the expansion site could be a municipal waste landfill.

On Tuesday, the TCEQ notified the city it was allegedly in violation of environmental standards at the site. The agency says it started investigating the project on November 23, 2009, after receiving a complaint.

According to the investigation report, "The investigators noted that areas which had been disturbed by construction and not resodden contained significant (non-incidental) amounts of glass and oxidized metal fragments."

"soil samples were not collected due to potential archaeological restrictions on the property." the report continues.

The TCEQ alleges the city failed to, "conduct a soil test prior to or during development." Other alleged violations include, "failure to obtain authorization prior to disturbing the final cover of a closed MSW landfill" and "failure to deed record a closed MSW landfill."

"During the investigation certain outstanding alleged violations were identified for which compliance documentation is required." The TCEQ Notice of Violation letter reads.

The City tells News 10 the site is not a landfill, and the city has hired an environmental consulting firm to answer the TCEQ's allegations. The city estimated the cost of the firm to be around $15,000.

City leaders say they should have a response to the alleged violations in the next ten days.

The TCEQ has given the City until February 26th to correct the problems.

This isn't the first problems to arise at the site. In May 2007, utility workers digging a trench uncovered human remains.

The City says it hopes to present a change order to City Council soon, and hopes to continue work at the site in the very near future.
