Current Activities

During the reporting period, activities at 1234 Loflin Hill Road included the completion of placement of gravel under the trailer and placement of approximately 18 inches of backfill (clay) and 6 inches of topsoil.   To date, 87 loads of contaminated soil have been loaded out at 1234 Loflin Hill Road; 373 loads of backfill and 144 loads of topsoil have been placed on the property.
Activities at 1241 Loflin Hill Road included completion of excavation and load out of contaminated soil; as well as, completion of placement of approximately 18 inches of backfill (clay) and 6 inches of topsoil. To date, 36 loads of contaminated soil have been loaded out at 1241 Loflin Hill Road; 120 loads of backfill and 20 loads of topsoil have been placed on the property.


Planned Removal Actions

The Removal Action at the 5 affected residences will involve a combination of excavation and capping with a barrier of clean soil of up to 2 feet and restoration.  Residents will be relocated while activities are conducted at their residence.


Next Steps

ERRS will replace items around the trailers at 1234 and 1241 Loflin Hill Road (including stairs and other miscellaneous items in the yard).  Crush and run will be used to restore the driveways of both properties.  KEMRON has subcontracted a private landscaping company to seed both yards and restore shrubbery removed during excavation.  
Residents in 1234 will end temporary location on November 17, 2004; residents in 1241 will end temporary location on or before November 19, 2004.


Key Issues

Heavy rain hindered operations on November 12 and 13; however, ERRS was able to "catch up" on November 14 (Sunday) and the removal schedule was not affected.
