Dow is offering to test and replace the soil on hundreds of other properties in the Dioxin Resolution Area - a total of about 1,700 acres.  Properties that test above an EPA-approved level of 250 parts per trillion of dioxins will be offered cleanup and re-landscaping. If the property owner chooses to forgo cleanup, Dow will set aside money for future work.
