How Much Do Cleanups Cost?
The cost of cleanup depends on a variety of factors, including the
extent of contamination and state cleanup standards. The average
cleanup is estimated to cost $130,000. If only a small amount of
soil needs to be removed or treated, cleanup costs may be as low
as $10,000. However, costs to clean more extensive soil
contamination may exceed $130,000. Corrective action for leaks
that affect groundwater typically cost from $100,000 to over $1
million, depending on the extent of contamination.
