Potential Lead in Soil - EPA Superfund Site
I am looking at a property in a neighborhood that's an EPA Superfund Site because of high lead levels in the soil in a number of the lots. I don't know if the lot of interest for me has high lead levels. However, the EPA will test the soil and then if high levels are present (400 ppm) then they will remediate the lot free of charge.
Has anyone dealt with this? Would this scenario prompt investing elsewhere? There's SFH on the lot.
