This is apparently okay.

The baseball field was placed over an asphalt parking lot, which the school district could not remove because of possible contamination on the site when it belonged to ALCOA Inc. Instead they added a foot or more of fill dirt for the field, completed in 2004.

However, maintenance is now needed on the site for a long-term drainage problem.

Under the terms of the deed, work on the property requires approval from both Arconic Inc. (formerly ALCOA) and the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation.

They are going to spend $52,000 to start the process and develop a fix.

The City of Alcoa, Arconic (formerly ALCOA) and developers are working to develop what they call the ALCOA West Plant site. There is contamination there as well. Will they make it safe? Will it last longer than the 13 years of the Alcoa Schools baseball field?
