Homes built on former golf courses and contamination issues
Looking for advice on whether to purchase a home built on a former golf course. Was in operation for 54 years but was closed 5 years ago to build homes. Apparently the developers removed 1-2 ft of contaminated soil prior to building. Mercury, arsenic, chlorothalonil, and propiconazole. As well as a petroleum contaminated soil.
Development is huge 300 homes all 1-3 million dollars. We have two small kids and a dog. This will be our first home and I want a safe usable yard to play in and feel safe. Obviously we wouldn’t garden in this yard but still worried but my husband thinks it’s fine and I’m overthinking it. I do overthink things but I’m a mom now and our kids health is #1.
Should also mention, the homes are all new construction built 2022-2025. There’s just a few lots left in the neighborhood to build from scratch (this one is a spec home). Concern there is while the excavating is being done digging deep into the ground will we be at risk for contaminated soil getting blown around? There’s one lot across the street from the house in question to build on (so future worry when digging takes place). 98% of the neighborhood is completed.
See text from the state: Soil excavations were completed at the Site in July 2021 and totaled approximately 4,070 cubic yards of removed soil, including 3,600 cubic yards of mercury contaminated soil, 430 cubic yards of soil contaminated with chlorothalonil, propiconazole and arsenic, and 40 cubic yards of petroleum contaminated soil. All excavated soils were disposed of at the Dem-Con Landfill located in Shakopee, Minnesota.
Looking for advice if this would be a safe home to move in at this point or keep looking? Thanks for the read and advice 🙏🏻

Regenerative Agriculture: Moving Beyond Talk to Action
REGENERATIVE agriculture has quickly become the darling of the coffee industry. From trade show stages to corporate branding, the buzzword dominates discussions, promising to be the “next big thing” in sustainable production. Yet, beneath the fanfare lies a fundamental question: is this movement delivering meaningful change, or is it simply repackaging age-old practices in a new trend-driven guise – generating yet more biased certifications and auditing measures?
