Is anyone mapping out the sites? Sounds like areas around them should be designated sacrifice zones https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacrifice_zone

Extensively, and the result is quite the opposite. This is land owned by the State Land Board and their mandate is essentially to utilize it for tax revenue.

If you are meaning the Reservoir, the superfund site, and/or the nearby landfill. We've pushed the related agencies (including the EPA) to enact protections surrounding the sites - the most we've gotten is stopping the wells being drilled directly-under them (but they can/will still go right up against).
