Hazardous Levels Of Chemicals Found At Site Of Proposed Elk Grove Elementary School
拟议中的埃尔克格罗夫小学，发现了达到危险水平的化学物质
ELK GROVE (CBS13) — The site of a proposed elementary school in Elk Grove is suffering a setback after a survey found hazardous levels of chemicals on the property.
一项调查发现，埃尔克格罗夫一所拟议中的小学的场地上的化学物质达到了危险水平，这使该项目遭受了挫折。
An old orchard in southern Elk Grove is supposed to be the site of the city’s newest school. Once built, Laguna Ridge East Elementary will have 34 classrooms and up to 850 students.
埃尔克格罗夫南部的一个老果园被认为是该市最新学校的所在地。一旦建成， Laguna Ridge东小学将有34间教室和850名学生。
Parents in the neighborhood are happy to hear the district is building a campus close to their homes.
附近的家长们都很高兴听到学区在他们家附近建了一个校园。
“It’s going to be really nice just having the kids being able to walk or ride their bikes to school,” dad Michael Clements said.
爸爸迈克尔·克莱门茨说:“孩子们能够走路或骑自行车上学，这真是太好了。”
But what’s underneath the former farmland is now digging up a dilemma.
但是这片土地以前是农田，土壤下面的东西给学校造成了困扰。
A toxic substance survey of the land has detected elevated levels of chemicals harmful to humans.
对这片土地进行的有毒物质调查发现，对人类有害的化学物质水平上升。
“A property such as this, which is an agricultural land, there are bound to be things in the soil,” Elk Grove Unified School District spokesperson Xanthi Soriano said.
埃尔克格罗夫联合学区发言人Xanthi Soriano说:“像这样的一块农业用地，土壤里肯定有一些东西。”
The hazardous substances include lead and pesticides. Arsenic was also found in amounts more than four times higher than maximum background levels.
有害物质包括铅和杀虫剂。砷的含量也比正常高出四倍多。
Investigators say the site “provides an increased cancer risk” and “future exposure likely poses a human health risk and hazard.”
调查人员表示，该场所“增加了患癌症的风险”，而且“未来接触该场所可能会对人类健康构成风险和危害”。
“We would not be able to build on this particular site unless we received approval that the site met the standards that it needs to meet for a public school,” Soriano said.
索里亚诺说:“我们无法在这个特定的地点建造，除非我们得到批准，该地点符合公立学校需要的标准。”
Officials looked at capping or treating the property, but they say the best remedy is to remove the contaminated soil. More than 550 cubic yards — about 40 dump truck loads — will be excavated and trucked away to a disposal site.
官员们考虑了封盖或处理土壤，但是他们说最好的补救办法是移除被污染的土壤。超过550立方码——大约40辆自卸卡车装载——将被挖掘出来，然后用卡车运到一个处置场。
“Once the site is so-called clean, then at that point in time we will begin the approval to go ahead and build,” Soriano said.
索里亚诺说:“一旦这个地方被称为干净，那么到时候我们就会开始批准继续建设。”
Parents say they’re hopeful the school won’t pose a hazard once cleanup is complete.
家长们说，他们希望学校清理完毕后不会造成危害。
“I can’t imagine them opening a school on that land without making sure all the precautions are taken,” mom Kristen Waller said.
母亲克里斯汀·沃勒(Kristen Waller)说:“我无法想象他们在没有确保采取所有预防措施的情况下在那片土地上开办学校。”
Despite the discovery, the Elk Grove district says the school remains on schedule to open in the fall of 2022.
尽管有了这一发现，但埃尔克格罗夫区表示，这所学校仍将按计划在2022年秋季开学。
