OAKLAND — The Oakland A’s are moving forward on a dream to build a new stadium at Peralta Community College headquarters, but they may first have to clear an environmental hurdle that has hovered over the land for years.
A review of county records shows that since 2013, the community college district has failed to act on the Alameda County Department of Environmental Health’s calls to further study a historically toxic site on the proposed stadium land.
The years of failed responses even brought in the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office, which confirmed it has an investigation into the situation underneath East Eighth Street and Fifth Avenue, district headquarters.
