[StBernard] Removal of Oil Spill Area soils

[Westley Annis]

  Regarding the Murphy Oil Spill Area---While I've seen quite a few 
properties having their exteriors washed down, I haven't seen one 
property getting its soil removed and replaced as per the Murhphy 
settlement agreement so I was wondering whether I just haven't seen it, 
or if all the tests were negative (I doubt that), or if none of the 
test results are in.  Anyone seen soil being removed yet?

It was my assumption that Murphy also had to test and remediate all the 
soil that tested positive  in the neutral grounds. This would be Judge 
Perez Dr. and parts of Corinne Avenue and Palmisano Avenue.  I haven't 
seen any red flags there indicating they tested the public's soil yet.  
Has SBPG been told when these public areas will be tested?  Seems that 
this testing could be happening now, the bad soil removed, and the 
areas replanted before spring.
