Lenny,

There is significant migration of groundwater contamination at Kelly Air
Force Base in San Antonio, Texas.  From what residents have told me, they
have stopped mapping migration beyond a certain point (2-3 miles) so
there's no way of knowing how far the plum actually extends.  In addition,
residents have taken soil sample and found elevated levels of arsenic,
barium and lead.  KAFB has not conducted any soil samples because  they
claim that they are not responsible for the presence of those contaminants
in the soil.
