I remember reading in the newspaper several years ago, that before any homes could be built on the Tustin Marine Base, extensive cleaning would be required. This is because over the decades, oil, fuel, battery acid, paint strippers, and other chemicals used by the Marines had seeped into the ground, causing contamination.
When construction gets underway, the ground will get churned up, and much of this contamination will resurface. While I will bet that plots of this land will be very valuable, I don't think I would want to live on it.
The State of California has a report online about the tests conducted on the soils at Tustin MCAS. Anyone thinking about buying property here should read this first.
