All staff and equipment has been demobalized from the Site.


Planned Removal Actions

All of the field work for this Site has been completed.


Next Steps

At some point in the near future ERRS and/or START will have to return to the Site to document how well the grass is growing and if additional landscaping is needed.


Key Issues

Site work was canceled on Tuesday, March 8, 2005 due to rain.
The Removal Action at the Site has been completed; many of the lawns are still trying to establish grass and will have to be monitored periodically after demobilization.
