We have a bit of a crises here in town due to 100 years of smelter emissions which dumped lead into several neighborhoods. THe EPA is saying that 640ppm is an acceptable level for lead in soil. I find this hard to believe but they say their model says its safe.

The EPA has recently updated the previously 'recommended' soil action levels in the Federal Register (40 CFR Part 745, Lead: Identification of Dangerous Levels of Lead: Final Rule) to the new Hazard Standards of 400 ppm lead in soil for children's play areas and 1200 ppm lead in soil for the remainder of the yard.


The EPA website from the quote above.

HTH 🙂
