Florida has some of the strictest guidelines in the country. With the water table 6 feet under, they have to be very careful about what people dump on their property. Plus the closer you are to the coast you get the fresh water/salt water lenses which will percolate any contaminants all the faster....couple this with sand as the ground "soil" and you have quite the potential for contamination being spread. On the other hand, in Georgia and the MidWest, where the ground soil is comprised primarily of clay materials, contamination spread is less of a worry. I would imagine that California, and all coastal states would have the same type of rapid distribution as Florida in the spreading of contaminants. Also, Florida has this on both sides of the state, California is at least landlocked on one side.
