PLANTATION - Crews have been mulching over areas of petroleum contamination at Peters Elementary School in Plantation.

"My biggest concern is making sure our students and my child in particular, are not going to be exposed by standing and playing on the soil," said Curt Valenzuela.

His 11-year-old daughter is a student here. "I wish they would have taken care of it a lot earlier because I did know this is an issue and problem they seem to have known about for a while," he said.
