It's zoned industrial and I'm not sure they're interested in changing that.  I haven't seen the site data, but I would imagine that any BCP remediation was to hog out the gross contamination, underground tanks or buried  drums and as much dry soil as possible.  It's right next to the lake, so I assume that groundwater is fairly shallow - most cleanups don't dig saturated soil.  Any remaining contamination would be prevented from migrating through an underground barrier wall or treated in situ through geochem or bio.  In order to qualify for unrestricted use or commercial use, the concentrations of contaminants would have to be greatly reduced.  Industrial use criteria gives them much higher concentrations that are easier to get under.    The NYSDEC has some funky rules regarding remediation complete (e.g., they don't have to grant completion if there is even [B]one[/B] sample location that comes back hot no matter how close to the standard it is.  Some states allow for a site-wide average).

Remediating sites is difficult for a lot of reasons.  It's usually best to just keep to same use.
