What was it contaminated with? I understand soil was removed to a depth of 4 ft? How did all the mining and drilling affect contaminated soil below that depth? Were contaminants made airborne by the explosions? Were people living directly across the street exposed to further contamination? I saw no safety measures taken to protect neighborhood residents? Should they have been protected? What's to say that this won't turn into another Hickory Woods/Love Canal?<BR/><BR/>The soil on this property was removed, capped, replaced, and grass was planted. I'm sure the cost was well over a million dollars!? What is so special about this brownfield that $200K+<BR/>houses need to be built on it? High end vinyl victorians to boot?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
