In addition, Field Turf will hold the school district harmless from any claims that may arise due to liability during, and directly related to, the removal and disposal of the old athletic fields or the installation of the new ones. Both parties to the agreement promised not to defame or disparage each other in any way, and the agreement states that it does not constitute an admission of any wrongful action or violation of any state or federal law by any of the parties to the agreement. The two high school fields were closed last June after the regional high school district performed tests on both athletic fields and the preliminary test results indicated there were lead levels at both fields that were higher than the acceptable level recommended by the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services. The school board temporarily closed the fields to the public while additional testing was performed in an attempt to ascertain whether the lead that is currently embedded in the turf fibers has leached into the ground. Tests were performed on the soil and sand underneath the turf field along with additional surface sampling and, in all cases, the additional samples reflected a non-detectable or very low reading. The school board kept the fields closed while an additional test was performed on the sand and soil under the surface of the turf field. The fields were reopened on Aug. 5, 2008 after the newest soil samples indicated either non-detectable or minimally detectable amounts of lead, all of which were significantly under the state’s standard. Both fields were reopened to the public, however, with the provision that the state’s recommendations for the use of field turf be followed. According to the state’s recommendations no child under seven years of age should use the fields and all who use the fields should wash their hands and clothes after using the fields. In addition, the state recommended that users of the fields avoid eating on the fields, and any contamination of bottled drinking water with dust and fibers from the field.
