Remnant Site Contamination. Why?
There are many reasons; some are:

- Too expensive to clean up
- On the site boundary
- Current or proposed use and remnant contamination are compatible
- OK to remain based on health and ecological risk assessment

- Mixed commercial/residential
VOCS detected at proposed school site only in soil gas at these maximum concentrations:
- Benzene at 1 μg/L
- PCE at 10.9 μg/L
- TCE at 12 μg/L
Xylenes at 205 μg/L Groundwater deeper than 50 meters – not a Site Issue
