It will need to be dug up and sent to a hazardous waste landfill and for every space not a building it will need clean soil for replacement.

Depending on the PPM of creosote in the soil it could be 10's of millions in disposal fees alone.
I think that getback is just trying to say it is foolish to jump on either side until we understand how many 10's of millions this will cost to clean.
