Absolutely. We had property (a concrete plant)in Brooklyn NY from 1972 til 2016 which was next to an oil storage tank and across from a natural gas facility located on what is commonly know as the most polluted canal in the US (the Gowanus). The property was to say the least contaminated.

The resolution was to "cap" the property with 6" of concrete (no problem for me because we were concrete producers for 60 years) problem resolved. LMAO
