Many soil reports include a PFAS excavation map. This looks like this. But what should and can you do with it? As a homeowner or homebuyer, you can’t and don’t really have to do much with this. The idea behind this card is as follows. It is for when you want to remove soil from your plot. That is, you grab a shovel, dig away soil from your yard and throw it into a trailer. For example, because you want to build a pond in your garden. Then you are going to take that soil to a processing plant. That processing plant might want to know to what extent that soil is contaminated with PFAS. From the PFAS excavation map, one could see that. But as with the other maps that there may be about PFAS in a soil report: here you and no one at all is actually doing anything practical with this.
