| Description | In 2005, the Washington State legislature passed a law to keep children safe from polluted soil within the Tacoma Smelter Plume. The Washington Department of Ecology (Ecology) created the Soil Safety Program in response to this law. In 2007, Ecology took soil samples from play areas at twenty-one childcares and ten schools in the north Thurston County portion of the service area. None of the play areas tested had elevated arsenic or lead. |
