Lenny,

Well, you are right but the question often comes down to who will pay to
clean them so to remove the risk. Private developers are more inclined to
cleanup sites by working out a deal with the state without having to get
bogged down in public participation which slows down the project...and time
delays are deadly for real estate projects. Often times, people who oppose a 
development use environmental issues as the leverage to mobilize support
against the project. Also, maybe the developer can get the state to let them
cap the site instead of removing contaminated soil which makes the project
more economically feasible though neighbors may want the soil removed even if
it does not pose a risk.
