Someone left a mess at CGX !

Meigs Field is a man made island created in the 1930s. Who knows where
all the fill came from so it isn't surprising that contamination can be
found deep in the soil.

Let's be honest. There was a time in the not too distant past where we
were not that careful about spills at airports, railroad yards, truck
depots, service stations, tank farms, etc. etc.

If you dug down into any number of 50 year-old (or greater) backyards
you's probably be shocked at the concotion of contaminats to be found.
I would bet any money that the amounts of contaminats from various
airports are but a blip in the noise level compared to all the
contaminats
from homes and businesses across the country.

But why inject logic in to the maelstrom.
