Contractor David Pfeiffer, who owns Man O' Trees Contracting, dropped a bombshell on the reconstruction of Lewiston Road in Niagara Falls.
"The truth is there is a health hazard on that project and it's not being properly cleaned up," said Pfeiffer.
He tells News 4 that he's learned that radiation levels, in some spots, are 10 times higher than the normal background levels for that area.
Pfeiffer said, "We were told not to chase the radiation, although it is on all of the people's lawns."
Pfeiffer says his workers have been told to stick to the road job, which is behind schedule and over-budget by millions of dollars already.
Dr. Resnikoff is an international consultant with of Radioactive Waste Management Associates who's familiar with the Niagara Falls situation.
"In my opinion, that material should be taken out now. This material is going to stay radioactive essentially forever. Roads are going to come and go. You know, kicking the can down the road is not going to solve the problem," said Dr. Resnikoff.
