Unpolluted quality soil is a valuable commodity. Anyone growing food in an area with a history of electronics and semiconductor fabrication would be wise to haul in a few truckloads of soil from an organic farmer and grow all their plants in raised beds.
It's possible to build semiconductor devices without polluting the soil and water table, but it means every factory needs to build at least a small chemical waste processing plant onsite, or (better) design new closed-loop manufacturing processes that minimize or eliminate waste.
