"DCM is highly volatile. Its real easy to remedial a DCM contaminated site."

"However, a significant contamination to ground water (>5ppb), while difficult to execute, could be an expensive cleanup operation. Chances are the contamination level is <0.5ppb in which case a watch and see approach is usually administered in which fairly inexpensive monitoring will continue for decades while the contamination slowly disappears."

PERI and Impure Land…
Grazie for the feedback folks. Guess I was thinking more along the lines of Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) with its view of methylene chloride.
"Studies indicate that there is suggestive, but not absolute evidence that methylene chloride is a human carcinogen. Long-term respiratory exposure in excess of 25 parts per million (ppm) is reported to be associated with an increased risk of cancer of the bile duct and brain.
Short term (acute) airborne exposures to high concentrations over 125 ppm may cause mental confusion, light-headedness, nausea, vomiting, and headache. Continued exposure may also cause eye and respiratory tract irritation. Exposure to methylene chloride may make symptoms of angina (chest pain) worse. Skin exposure to liquid methylene chloride may cause irritation. Liquid methylene chloride placed on the skin may cause chemical burns.
Employees who are removed or transferred to another job because of a medical determination that exposure to methylene chloride may aggravate or contribute to the employee's existing skin, heart, liver, or neurological disease."
I wouldn’t want anything to happen to our Consultants of Planet Earth! If any physical repercussions did occur from this tainted turf, those large "Entrepreneur Fees" might not be collected. Or would they?
On second notion, maybe the Consultants and other Heavies will continue to be stationed at headquarters in Blaine, WA? Perhaps, just SolarEagle will be placed on the contaminated facilities? There’s a thought!
Wonder if Mr. Bird of Prey made it to the big birthday bash last weekend for Sir Branconnier?
Also, if this contamination cleanup is expensive, who will pick up the tab, PERI or TTRIF? Perhaps a little more dilution will be needed?
