My friend, the right thing to do is not half ass dispose of extremely toxic chemicals in a relatively populated area. It's the municipal equivalent of burying a land mine in your back yard, and putting a note in your deed that its there.

These areas mostly weren't that populated when these things were being disposed of and these companies were doing the "right thing" by the laws and common standards of the time.
