    That’s happening right down the street from me, actually. It’s my understanding they take the polluted top layers of soil and either bury them somewhere safe nearby or they transport them away.

      They just lay plastic sheeting over the top, put fill in, and build on it at the places I’m familiar with. One of the sites they had to do some remediation sucking out water from the ground to dispose of some of it.
