If there was any chance that it were contaminated why wouldn't you take simple steps to mitigate it? Is soil so expensive that you wouldn't just dig out the garden area, install a raised bed and fill with clean uncontaminated soil?
In a word, yes. Having 10 inches of contaminated soil hauled away and disposed of legally is expensive.
