I searched: soil testing labs northeast When I was looking. If you find one that has the data please share. I started with U Maine in Orono Maine because they test the soils for all the farmers, that’s who I use. Soil samples are typically analyzed for whatever parameters are requested. If the sampler didn't request heavy metals the samples won't be run for it.

They've been and are doing soil samples for chemicals. https://scienceblog.com/landmark-acid-rain-study-confirms-soil-nutrient-depletion/#google_vignette I'm sure if they found chemicals in it, they'd sound the alarm. There comes a point liberalism has gone too far, we're past that point.

Yep, We were just talking about the no till farming practices. There comes a point liberalism has gone too far, we're past that point.

Every year it seems to snow during rat/mink season and sure enough, the township pushes the ramp open but stops short of pushing it into the water and I have to shovel a spot to get the boat in.. I caught up to the one day and asked them about this and they said the state doesn't allow them to push it in the river. I said, but its 5' downhill and when it melts its in there anyhow! Harrisburg loads their snow onto dump trucks and piles it on City Island, again not able to put it in the river but they pile it feet from it on an island, lol.
