Cleveland park to be built on sludge

Cleveland officials unveiled a $4.6 million plan Monday to create a nature preserve with bicycle paths and hiking trails on Dike 14, an 88-acre Lake Erie peninsula built with sludge.

But before the project can begin, officials must pull together at least $200,000 to test the ground to see whether the fill -- polluted sediment dredged from the Cleveland Harbor and the Cuyahoga River -- is too contaminated for public exposure.
