Beginning in 2003 several reports of green glowing dirt began. See: pdf Vol 6 - Caltech Test results - Beginning page 171 - https://kaiserpapers.com/downey/pdfs/VOL.06.pdf - GMO
This green glowing dirt was seen on the Downey Property by employees of the motion picture industry. The numerous eyewitnesses to this green glowing dirt state that it was first seen in the piles of now documented chromium ladden dirt that had been excavated both outside of Building 1 and inside of the building itself.
Initially green dirt was noticed outside of the Building. Shortly thereafter excavation for an indoor lake at Downey Studios began. A team of individuals dressed in full haz mat suits came onto the property. There are also several anecdotal statements regarding the use of geiger counters on the property in that time period by private companies. NOTE: (Personal Comment: Consistently it is relayed that during the filming of Indiana Jones, before Harrison Ford would come on to the property that a sweep with geiger counters would take place. I would think that a prudent measure to take under the circumstances.)
The green dirt was then dug out of the building and piled outside of Building 1. Part of the pile was later moved to the location where they later built the film studio neighborhood. This is a group of homes used for filming purposes only. At that time it was noticed by other motion picture employees that were working on a different film and during evening/night filming. This is when the dirt was first noticed to be glowing green.
Documentation of environmental reports and over 200 truck loads of green dirt were removed from the property and disposed of in the Antelope Valley public dumps The invoices and related coorespondence show that this dirt was composed of chromiums. Asbestos was also transported to public dumps in trucks in sealed containers.
It is not documented on what caused the dirt to glow green in the report. It is speculated that an antibiotic resistent bacteria that has been genetically modified to glow in the dark with a green color was placed on the contaminated soil. NASA and others have recently used this genetically modified bacteria in an attempt to remove the toxins from military bases/NASA facilities in the past. See links below for further information. Currently a version of this product is being used at JPL. Genetically modified dirt is also used to sniff out and destroy land mines and other explosives.
If the green glowing dirt was the bacteria used to remove percholates it is meant to be used in water and not ever placed on the top of any soil and certainly is too dangerous to have done this in a densely population metropolitan area such as Downey in Los Angeles County, California. Under some lighting condition it does glow green. The chromium eating dirt that the military has experimented with and which is genetically modified to glow green also cannot just be placed on the top of soil. The above referred report on this chromium material -is in conflict with a large number of people's consistent statements who did not know each other but did witness a far different version than the document approved by the California water board presents.
A LIST OF DOCUMENTS RELATED TO THE ORIGIN OF THE GLOWING GREEN DIRT
One recent project at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee involved adding a bioluminescent gene to one toxin eater to make it glow so that human cleanup crews could see the bacteria at work. .......Researchers around the world search for bacteria with useful appetites. Some, like the mining microbes, are found in nature, while others are discovered in an endless array of laboratory tests. At the University of West Florida scientists tested more than twenty thousand mutant strains of bacteria before they found one that turned a toxic industrial chemical, TCE (trichloroethylene), into a harmless substance. Today bacteria are used to detoxify soil and water polluted by PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls), creosote, DDT, and other tough, toxic compounds.The USGS estimates that cleaning up existing environmental contamination in the country would cost as much as $1 trillion. With bioremediation the cost may be cut drastically and the cleanup will be less stressful on the environment. But much of what bioremediation promises has yet to be realized. Designer microbes will eventually take the place of naturally occurring ones and will be able to do the job faster and more efficiently.

Bioremediation -
This petroleum-contaminated dirt was mixed with clean dirt and manure before being injected with microbes. The microbes fed on the petroleum's hydrocarbons, converting the harmful materials into carbon dioxide and oxygen. http://www.bookrags.com/research/bioremediation-gen-01/
