There was a local site in the city that was the site of an old gas station for many years. Evidently they had a gasoline leak in a tank, and the soil conditions were just right, or just the wrong type is more accurate. The site was sold, and a circuit city was going in. I used to drive past and saw the giant OMG hole they dug to get to all the contaminated soil. The hauled it off, and brought in a lot more new clean dirt. That had to be expensive. Circuit city went away long ago, Now it is is a grocery store.
I heard later the contaminated soil was brought to a burner, and they ran all of it through a large kiln like gizmo, and literary burned all the contaminates out, and were left with "clean" dirt.
