Tim King's report about the toxic soup that affects Marines and others who served aboard and live near MCAS El Toro, the closed-down Marine air base in Irvine, California. Visit Salem-News.com and enter 'El Toro' as a key word to read and view hundreds of related reports.
 
Prior to construction builders lined a non permeable membrane "Liquid Boot" between the original soil and backfill. The barrier is unbreakable even with a nail pounded into it. It is extremely elastic. Vertical loading such as as foundation, house structure and live load do not compromise the structural integrity of this liner. I would definitely choose this over landfill runoff. What are my other choices? Brake dust pollution, prison adjacency, jet fuel mist, train or freeway noise, electric magnetic field or FCB neighbors. Apparently, they are all lot premiums.

Hehe... classic.
 
lol nice

Seems like they are building the athletic park over most of the toxic areas at the military site.. if I'm looking at the maps correctly.  There is concern if your house is built on top of it but seems like they are building the homes on the outside areas of the GP.

exactly :)
 
That's a completely unbiased report if I've ever seen one....

Just out of curiousity...any toxicologists on these boards? Perhaps someone who's gone to school to graduate school to study mode of actions for various chemical and environmental carcinogens?  Maybe statisticians or modellers who know how risk assessment is carried out and actually understand vapor intrusion?  Mine can't be the only hand raised....
 
I was pumping gas today and I saw a sign saying "WARNING - Gas vapors have been know to cause cancer in laboratory animals".
So at least there's that. 

Living causes cancer
 
I rather die a landfill death versus being robbed, raped, and/or killed in Anacrime, Santa Ana, Stanton, or any other of the high crime rate OC cities.

A+. Good memory. It's nice to know at least one person was paying attention.
 
It is all perception. Broda thinks Anaheim and Santa Ana are unsafe because the cities do not have parkway, bike path and lush landscape? Don't judge a book by its cover.

Sooo, not really judging a book by it's cover?

There's still a small but highly deleterious risk that shouldn't be laughed off too hard here.

IF enough folks claim health issues that are said to have stemmed from the Superfund site--be the link real or imagined--it will have a profoundly detrimental effect on home values.

If there is a potential health risk, I will avoid it.

It's a known fact TCE was found in the water at EL Torro base, which is documented by the EPA. (soil and ground water) http://www.talkirvine.com/index.php?topic=11144.0

Don't get me started here. 4 people died out of 100,000 people will really put your life in danger? The deaths have been gang related among homeboys. Are you in a gang that put you in in the high risk group? Anaheim police manipulating record and Irvine Police don't? Don't get me started here about IPD's way of handling foul play. You are totally judging a book by its cover. Do you really know that much about Anaheim or Santa Ana? Other than these links that don't even prove your point. Lets talk about dump site water run off where the site is 100' higher in elevation than the residential sites. Gravity will always pull the water to the lowest point. There is a gutter overflow next to Lambert Ranch that originates  from the dump, piped below the toll road.
