While I won't pretend to be an environmental chemist, my basic understanding is that remediating the ground in the location would have been less poison spread as well as less overall impact on the region.
From what I understand burning it produces yet more poisonous chemicals that once spread around as such collecting them would be non trivial, so simply shooting for dilution.
This is not a good approach and I stand fast to suggesting keeping it on site and remediating it from there would have been the easiest and safest choice. Resulting in overall far less poison in the environment. Burning it was a mistake.
But it ranks a little bit lower than billions of poisonous jew jabs

And of course I 100% agree with you here.
