Yosemite National Park - about 3.5 hours driving east of San Francisco.

These cliffs are more than 3000 feet in height. Most park visitors fail to realize the scale of the cliffs in Yosemite Valley because they just look like normal rocks from a distance. Many people would be awed by the sheer size of those rocks if they were able to spot some ant-like rock climbers hanging on the cliffs.

Remediation - references to the reports. Funding Remediation In the US there has been a mechanism for taxing polluting industries to form a Superfund to remediate abandoned sites, or to litigate to force corporations to remediate their contaminated sites. Other countries have other mechanisms and commonly sites are rezoned to "higher" uses such as high density housing, to give the land a higher value so that after deducting clean up costs there is still an incentive for a developer to purchase the land, clean it up, redevelop it and sell it on, often as apartments (home units).
