You can have the soil tested at Colorado State University Soil and Plant Testing Lab for 27.50.
Fill out this form and submit with your soil and your check http://soiltestinglab.colostate.edu/documents/customer_info_sheet.pdf
There is also a standard soil test that is recommended before you plant that gives a more in-depth report about your soil and how to get the best nutrition to your plants yo want to grow. It is the Horticultural Applications for Gardeners form (link) at this site http://www.soiltestinglab.colostate.edu/
I would be curious to see what your results are. If you do have arsenic in your soil, feel free to reach out to me for recommendations.
