The Durhams said a borough representative came to their door after the crash and said crews would have to dig up 2 feet of contaminated dirt or their grass would never grow again.

Nothing has been dug up, according to the family, and their lawn has not grown back.

Borough officials, however, say that's simply not true. The city has replaced the top six inches of soil and planted seeds. The fact that grass isn't growing is due to a water runoff problem that Pittsburgh is responsible for.
