Cant say I disagree "highest and best use" may apply here ..... or just leave the whole area be, as a natural wonder and go solar....
Not unique to Pele btw. Areas built on rotting vegetation have the same issues. I've seen pipes / smoke stacks / vented flag poles installed to vent the gas upward to dilute the hydrogen sulfide.
If its tough to get insurance in the area as a home owner - I wonder where one goes for coverage on a PGV plant. (difficult insurance a indicator of risk) No denying it carries risk to settle in whether one breaths the stuff or or "manages" it like a PGV plant.
