September 28 - NHK
Koike told the metropolitan assembly on Wednesday that confusion over the planned relocation of a wholesale food market has resulted in loss of public trust.
The Tokyo government had planned to move the Tsukiji market to Toyosu this year after decontaminating the site, where a gas production plant once stood. But the work was not carried out as recommended by experts.
Koike criticized the government's handling of the problem, saying those making decisions have all denied knowledge of the discrepancy, prompting public frustration.
She stressed that it's her job to find out who decided what, when decisions were made, and whether a cover-up took place.

This was the original plan, with morido 盛土 layers of clean soil
a layer of gravel/concrete
2 meters cleaned ground
2.5 meters new ground
a thick layer of concrete
Now suddenly these layers are missing and the buildings are standing on
謎の空洞 mysterious empty boxes, hollow space.
MetGov says the hollow spaces have a concrete cover of 40 cm thickness. But not all of the ground is covered.
September 30, Friday NHK
The head of the Tsukiji market greengrocers' union says he feels betrayed by the Tokyo Metropolitan government.
Mikio Izumi spoke to reporters after watching Governor Yuriko Koike's news conference on Friday. His union is made up of about 450 fruit and vegetable dealers.
He said it is extremely disappointing that officials did not carry out the decontamination work as they had originally proposed. He added that he hopes Tokyo officials never again present market dealers with false explanations.
Izumi said the dealers are also shocked by the latest groundwater test at Toyosu, which found benzene and arsenic slightly in excess of environmental standards.
He said he wants a panel of experts to assess the results and consider measures to remedy the situation.
..............................................................................................................................................
- - - - - 東京都知事 Governors before Koike
They obviously never asked too many questions.
September 27:
Koike is going to meet Ishihara regarding the capital's troubled new wholesale food market.
Ishihara was in charge when controversial decontamination steps were taken at the site.
There have been five heads of the Toyosu Project since 2008, it seems. And all claim they thought the morido was done properly.
September 30, Friday - NHK
An inquiry into the Toyosu market site has concluded that former Tokyo governor Shintaro Ishihara did not influence the location's underground design plan.
The inquiry confirmed that in May of that year, Ishihara told a Tokyo government official in charge of the wholesale market to study a different plan to cut costs. Ishihara proposed burying empty concrete chambers called caissons under the market's buildings.
But the market's chief told the governor the next year that the idea would cost hundreds of millions of dollars more. Ishihara reportedly said he understood.
The inquiry team says several other Tokyo government officials have also testified that Ishihara's idea had nothing to do with the subsequent construction of empty spaces beneath the market buildings.
..............................................................................................................................................
There are many open questions :
Who signed the plan for the building standing not on the morido,
but with an open box space of about 4.5 meter high?
Was there a misunderstanding, since everyone claims it should be above the morido?
Or was it deliberate by someone in the city office? (quite possible)
or the construction firm (hardly believable) ?
Was there a plan to built an underground space for maintenance above the morido with stilts to support this?
How far above ground is the main access road for the dealers to reach their allocated spaces ?
It seems it is higher that necessary.
September 13, 2016 - NHK news
Former and current Tokyo metropolitan officials apparently knew they were misinforming the public about steps to counter soil pollution at a new wholesale market site, but took no action.
Sept. 23? - NHK news
Possible change in assessment on new market site
Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike has suggested that the environmental assessment for the city's proposed new food market may need to be altered.
She hinted at the possibility on Friday, while speaking to reporters.
It was recently revealed that the market site had not been completely filled in with clean soil, as recommended by experts.
The metropolitan government issued an environmental assessment report for the new market in 2011. It stated there will be no impact from exposure to contaminated substances after decontamination efforts are completed.
A gas plant used to stand at the site and harmful substances were detected. The report was based on experts' advice to fill the site with clean soil as part of decontamination efforts.
Koike says that generally speaking, if any problem arises from what was previously reported that must be included in a new assessment.
She also says it will take about a month to decide whether to conduct a fresh investigation and about another 15 months to put together.
The 4.5-meter layer of clean soil is missing from under five main structures at the new market location.
September 27, 2016 - NHK
The Tokyo Metropolitan Government says its officials asked an architectural design firm to create empty spaces beneath the capital's new wholesale food market, against the advice of experts. ...
The Tokyo government is looking into why the spaces were created despite the fact that experts said back in 2008 that the entire compound should be filled with clean soil. ...
The probe has yet to determine who decided to go against the advice and when the decision was made.
September 28, 2016 - NHK
Ryoichi Kishimoto, The chief official of Tokyo's wholesale food markets has apologized for misinformation about measures taken to deal with soil pollution at the site of a new market.
... He apologized for causing people to worry. ...
- but no explanation for the WHY !
September 30, NHK - Friday
The Tokyo Metropolitan Government has come up with an investigative report on decontamination work at the capital's planned new wholesale food market in Toyosu. NHK has learned that the report says officials were unable to determine who decided not to fill the market's foundations with clean soil or when the decision was made.
... The report says officials in bureaus in charge of the matter began discussing in 2008 a plan to create spaces underground for monitoring contamination even after the market's opening. In 2009, they created an image of the spaces with heavy machinery placed underground.
Officials then proceeded with studies on soil decontamination between 2010 and 2013. In August 2011, department and section chiefs are said to have confirmed at a meeting a policy to create underground monitoring spaces.
... The report attributes the problem to a lack of communication between superiors and subordinates as well as employees in administrative sections and those in engineering sections. In addition, it's not clear who was responsible for the entire project.
... full discussions of the issue next week.
..... A former chief official of Tokyo's wholesale food markets Naoyuki Tsukamoto says he knew that the ground under the buildings of the new Toyosu market was not covered with clean soil. Tsukamoto is one of 5 former chief officials that served in the post during the planning of the decontamination measures. ..... On Friday morning, Tsukamoto said in an NHK interview that he saw the buildings' blueprints, but that he didn't think it was a problem.
.
Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike says an inquiry has failed to find out who was responsible for not putting clean soil under the buildings of the capital's new food market.
She hinted at a further investigation.
... She said that in August 2011, department and section chiefs confirmed the basic policy of creating the spaces. Officials are said to have discussed measures to deal with polluted soil between 2010 and 2013.
... Koike suggested she will consider new steps, including a further probe and introducing a whistleblower system to prevent a recurrence of the problem.

Toyosu market basement areas created for emergency cleanup work
Why would this be necessary if the ground was properly prepared with 4.5 m clean soil?

Why is now the gravel layer open and only partly covered with concrete?

anzen anshin 安全 安心 to be safe, to feel safe
The motto of the new Toyosu market.
BUT
many now think, even if the water is pronounced anzen,
the whole project does not feel anshin for a food market.
The water under the buildings the pools - how much is it tainted?
There are differences in the findings of the parliament party members and the Town Officials.
The water level seems rising (it rained a lot around Spetember 20 - 26). It is now almost 30 cm.
September 13th
The first results: hexavalent chromium and arsenic.
September 17, 2016
Benzene, a toxic chemical, was not found in water in the basement - says the MetGov.
Sep 18
arsenic and chromium found at density levels around 10 to 35 percent of the legal limit.
These substances do not evaporate into the air.
Sep 21
Some members of the Tokyo metropolitan assembly say that a cyanide compound has been detected. The level exceeds the government-set environmental standards.
- NHK news -
Lead detected in water at Tokyo's new market site
The Tokyo Prefecture government says that a slight amount of lead was found in water that has accumulated below the site of a proposed new food market.
They show that the amount of lead in the water is about one tenth the level permitted by environmental standards.
The samples from the site in the Toyosu also contained traces of arsenic.
They were tested for 7 harmful substances. The water did not contain benzene, cyanogen or hexavalent chromium.
September 30
toxic substances in excess of environmental standards.
It was the 8th in a series of surveys that began 2 years ago, following the completion of soil decontamination work at the site. It was the first test in which measurements exceeded limits.
The officials say that 2 of 3 groundwater samples collected near the market's fruit and vegetable building contained the chemical benzene.
One of them measured 1.1 times the environmental standard and the other 1.4 times.
Another sample contained arsenic measuring 1.9 times the standard.
In the previous 7 surveys, the substances measured below the standards.
..... The Tokyo government officials say the figures are preliminary and detailed analyses and opinions from experts are needed before taking action.
Professor Minoru Yoneda:
the groundwater is not for drinking and he does not believe it would pose a threat to human health. !!!!!
- - - - - air pollution in the underground box space - - - - -
Sep 18
While traces of benzene are still in Toyosu’s air, its density level is within the safety limit, according to metropolitan government data.
Sep 26
Benzene has been found in the air . .. in low levels.
..............................................................................................................................................
- - - - - one special building for the administration people

(who will be sitting there all day . . .)
There is just one building in the complex built as planned above the morido.
With a pit for monitoring above the morido.
WHY ?
..............................................................................................................................................
- - - - - Money and the price of it all
original bid about 63 billion yen (628 million dollars) in November 2013.
The Tokyo Metropolitan Government's projected prices for construction contracts rose by 60 percent in the second round of tenders, from the failed first round.
Three joint venture groups headed by 3 major construction firms took part first, but all retracted their tenders.
- second round of bidding 3 months later, about 1.03 billion dollars.
The 3 groups each won a contract, at prices ranging from 99.7 to 99.9 percent of the revised projected prices.
Professor Hiroshi Arikawa of Nihon University:
if the Tokyo government had to change the prices following requests from construction firms, its system to calculate projected prices must also come under scrutiny.
In 2014, the decontamination (and morido) was completed at a cost of
85.8 billion Yen.
How much money was "saved" with the new plan and where is the money now?
How much will the restauration from the new reality to a safe market cost?
..............................................................................................................................................
Why do some of the piping hang high up under the ceiling?
Why are some pipings so low that no maschinery can drive around in these spaces?
..............................................................................................................................................
- - - -- The open hatchets to let down equipment -
If the buildings were safe, why the need to do this "just in case?"
Why are some hatches right beside the building (3 m x 6 m)
and at least one other further away, with a road above?
Is the whole ground from this hatchet to the building now open?
Are the hatchets connected to the buildings? with an open door?
Why do they have a slit of about 3 mm around, where rain water can get through?
If heavy equipment has to be dismanteled to get down,
what kind of equipment is there DOWN there to get them together again?
..............................................................................................................................................
- - - - - Earthquake
Since the original building was planned for 4 stories
is the new building with its underground space the same quake proof structure?
the revetment work carried out by the contractors wasn’t sufficient to stabilize the ground in the area, pointing out that parts of the Toyosu site liquefied during the March 2011 quake, bringing sand and stones to the surface.
..............................................................................................................................................

What can be done to secure the place as it is now and
open the fish market at some point in the - far - future?
