Just remember.
If it gets in the ground water, you will be drinking it.
That is why they are watching the clean up to minimize the contamination,
to make sure it does not get into the drinking water.
Plus the dirt or material is allowed to air out then it is okay to use
again.

About 2 years ago I was at a sewer plant that had a Diesel
generator
as back up . EPA was there suppervising cleaning up what they called a spill
That was costing the PSD major bucks . Just where a line had been leaking on
ground , 15 years ago no one would have said any thing about it , just fixed
and gone on . They removed about 7 truck loads moved them to back of lot put
plastic around them . Told them to let set so long and then they could use
dirt . Seems like waste of time & money to me.
