@TheSpec @Mattatthespec The chemicals from the type of fire fighting foam they used to train with leached into the soil and into the groundwater. The chemicals weren't buried.
@GlennSollie @TheSpec Hi Glenn, perhaps brevity was my enemy in this case. I meant buried to imply in or under the ground, not that someone clandestinely buried the chemicals. Our past reporting on this issue provides more context.
