@Tom Anderson A good friend of mine started the company Safe Environmental Solutions.

Chinese steel and aluminum plants have almost no environmental controls, and they get free electricity.By ALL accounts they dump steel. 

If that theory is true, which I don't know that I believe that fully, then environmentalism and moving away from fossil fuels might create an "oil age collapse."

He also called the Department of Environmental Protection because these folks have trash and debris all over their lot, he said the DEP is making them clean it up.  

In addition to tangible cost, there are some who also consider carbon footprint and environmental impact.

I connected with 2 gentleman from an Environmental company in Glassboro that has a lot of knowledge and experience about the remediation projects in Glassboro.

From an operations stand point, make sure the quote from the contractor includes — full containment and HEPA filtered negative air movers that ideally can exhaust to the exterior, manometer with print out logs documenting the containment’s negative pressure throughout the mitigation, full removal of affected materials (drywall, baseboard), (wood framing can sometimes be sanded and then sprayed with a spor/fungicide), and finally an *inspection by a third party environmental hygienist for air clearance*.
