AGC is continuing to gain access to residential properties to conduct sampling activities. AGC collected samples from 7 residential and 7 vacant lot property soil samples during August 23 to 31, 2005. AGC collected samples from 3 residential and 3 vacant lot property soil samples during September 1 to 2, 2005.
-Residential properties were sampled by collecting 5-point composite soil samples. One composite was collected from 0-3" and one from 6-12" depth. Each residential property was sampled from the front yard and the backyard. Additional samples were collected from gardens and play area, if applicable. Vacant lots were divided into four quadrants and a 5-point composite soil sample was collected from each of quadrant and from 0-3" and 6-12" depth
•AGC screened 3 residential and 7 vacant lot soil samples for lead with an X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) instrument on August 26, 2005. AGC screened 17 residential and 17 vacant lot soil samples for lead with the XRF instrument on September 6 and 7, 2005.
