  "Four feet of soil is quite an amount of cubic feet of soil," said Robbinsdale district spokesman Jeff Dehler. "So there will be a significant amount of work that happens. ... We will remove the soil from the current surface area, have it safely removed, and put it in some kind of contaminated-soil space, wherever the state reserves space for that kind of stuff."
  
  Dehler said the underlying landfill is a run-of-the-mill sort that used to be common.
  
  "It's just like dozens and dozens of sites all over the place," he said. "There was not care taken years ago to appropriately dispose of some waste that could contaminate soil or groundwater."
  
  Dehler said the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) was contacted when the site was discovered. He said the district has taken precautions to ensure there are no risks posed to the adjoining building, which last year housed the district's elementary school Spanish Immersion program as well as the middle school, and will house only the enlarged middle school starting this fall.
  
  "They have tested inside the building to find out if there's any contaminated soil underneath the building, and there is not," Dehler said. "And if there is any environmental impact to the building. They tested the water and air quality, and there is no contamination."
  
  Dehler said the main contamination concerns cited by the MPCA at this point are asbestos fibers, if any, that might be disturbed when the site is dug up. That means special precautions will need to be taken, such as removing landfill debris in covered trucks.
  
  Dehler said little is known about the site, other than that it is really old.

  "If there is an opportunity for the district to move forward with a better, newer transportation facility, and move the administration out of this building into a building with a longer life expectancy, that would be a very good opportunity for our district," said Robbinsdale spokesman Jeff Dehler.

  Dehler stressed that there would be no sale if it and the ensuing move to another location would involve any additional costs to district residents. He noted that the district has surplus buildings no longer in use as schools.
  ...
  A committee has been formed to come up with recommendations on what to do with the district's surplus buildings, Dehler said. The committee is expected to meet over the next several months.
  
  This year, the district sold the former Lincoln Elementary School in Brooklyn Park to a developer for $3.1 million. Dehler noted that Robbinsdale, which has suffered declining enrollments over the last several decades, is no novice when it comes to selling district buildings.
  
  "We have sold a number of facilities in recent years, and quite a few since the late '70s," he said.
