    Yea I get that, and explaining its usefulness will fall on deaf GOP ears, but for the record It’s not even hazardous waste…it’s the urban soils that tend to have a lot of organic carbon content from all the living shit and garbage used as backfill especially in east coast cities. Standard protocols for direct soil sampling don’t consider carbon as much as they should and also remote methods (like GPR) don’t measure total organic carbon. Not high stakes research but important to get a full picture of the soils on a building site.
