December 16, 2007 - A new round of testing has discovered PCBs in a schoolyard that has been at the center of controversy surrounding the ongoing environmental cleanup.
The U.S. Environmental Protection said soil samples taken from a corner of a field at Allendale Elementary School revealed unacceptable PCB levels 1 foot under the surface. Although the agency said the pollution poses no health risk to pupils, faculty or nearby residents, a contractor is expected to begin a cleanup tomorrow.

Allendale Elementary School is on a toxic waste dump and should be closed. I'm sure that PCBs are not the only chemicals in this dump. What other carcinogenic chemicals are children and faculty being exposed to? My hope is that we won't have to add Allendale Elementary to our list of cancer-clusters at schools built on dumpsites.
