OSAKA -- Part of the nearly 700,000 tons of toxic waste found on the proposed site for Universal Studios Japan should be buried under a parking lot, city officials announced Monday, based on recommendations by a team of experts.
In addition, the 18,000 tons that exceeds environmental standards should be used as landfill in Osaka Bay, they said. With the committee's recommendations, construction of the theme park is expected to proceed as planned, despite the discovery of toxic traces at another part of the site.
