If you are worried about the lead leaching into the 3 to 10 ft of soil around the perimiter of your house (for those who garden and eat vegetables below the house eaves or those drilling water very shallow water wells next to the house) then you can collect runoff with plastic sheeting.

You might find sandy loam on one corner of a one acre lot and silty loam 100' away.

Not sure if it our dirt, or the moisture in the soil, or maybe the jalapeños and hot sauce we eat.   

This legislation will require: “the presence of deteriorated paint, which may contain lead, on the interior and exterior of pre-1978 residential structures and on bare soil be identified and correctly addressed.”

I always suggest getting a survey done, and if you have past soil sample reports even better.  

@Sandy Sandy what is the address?

@Kevin Auyong   it was 4 or 5 years ago  and I don't know that he went into specifics however I could surmise its the same old out of state tune... and with Texas property tax's soil conditions and lack of any appreciation in those days.. and not being local that probably added up to his desire to sell and get back into the CA.. market.Before I posted on BP I was a frequent contributor on a site in AU... and there was a running debate on Texas vs other markets..

Many people have been priced out of SLC all together and are moving out of the city to commute in, I like area's like Cottonwood, Sandy, Bountiful, Ogden.

We have clayey soil here, which contracts when you don't water it and foundation moves.

These houses can be ready for occupancy in as little as 90 days after the slab goes vertical, and I have the data and machine manufacturer support to substantiate this.Our goal is to build for $150,000, with an additional aim of keeping site work, land costs, underground fees, soil samples, etc., within a $50,000 budget.The plan is to finished homes for $200,000 total.
