This was supposed to be the "second of all" in my last post, but I didn't have time to finish.
Yesterday I was talking with my neighbor about her yard and she told me that the EPA had replaced her whole yard because it was contaminated with arsenic. I did some checking around the internet and found out that mine is too! In fact, she and I are 2 of only 3 lots on our block that had levels of arsenic that were too high. I do wonder why this was not disclosed to me in the buying process. The good news is that I should be getting a new yard. The back yard should be done this year. The bad news is the front yard could take up 5 years to be done. I'll keep you updated on this story! Here's some links to read about what is going on.

That's fairly interesting... how does one really contaminate a yard with arsenic I wonder?
Apparently there was some pesticide plant that closed in the 60s (!) and when they went to clean it up in the early 2000's they found it was contaminated. Then they used wind patterns or something to make a test area around the plant. The odd thing is that my property and most of the others with the high levels are along the edge of the perimeter, farthest from the plant.
