wtf? “. In the remediation plans of 2008, it was determined that no soil capping was necessary for the contamination in these areas since the future turf would grow thick and protect the public from any contaminants while holding the new, clean topsoil in place. However, due to complete turf decline, this protection no longer exists, and it is evident that a significant amount of that topsoil has been washed away by erosion. (It should be noted as well that as an added protection after remediation, to preserve the grass, these areas of the Park were designated for passive recreation only - a guideline that has never really been observed by the community or successfully enforced.)”
The soil is contaminated?
