Much of the deadly plutonium was buried or tilled under the soil but was left in the town. Residents still live in the area with areas of high contamination fenced off among the town. 6000 barrels of 66 gallon size were filled with contaminated soil an shipped to the Savannah River nuclear site for storage. Most of the contaminated soil and land still remains. In 2008 another buried location of highly contaminated soil was found as the US and Spain continued political wranglings over the cleanup. In 2010 the US stopped making payments to Spain for the clean up.
