Contamination and remediation at the Turnpike Road site
Stockton
Summary
The city got $500,000 from the EPA to study contaminated sites near Airport Way, Mormon Slough, and the North Shore waterfront — the first step toward cleaning up vacant lots that can't be developed because of what's in the soil. Actual cleanup will cost millions more and require future grants.

Pride has spent over $105,000 on voluntary soil and vapor remediation, but a buyer fell through over soil-vapor concerns raised by a neighbor. If the site can't be sold for industrial use, the company says it may abandon it, leaving contamination unaddressed.
