It could result in just a trace, or an entire frozen world covered in meteorite dust under the surface…

If true, a bulldozer could push the top few inches exposing heat to the permafrost allowing the moisture to sublimate to the nearest insulated cold spot.
The permafrost could be mined, scooped into a closed system hotbox were the frozen gases will boil and be 100% recovered returning the dry dirt to the hole.
