-AGC collected samples from 4 residential, 1 church property and 1 vacant lot property pre-excavation soil samples during this reporting period.  AGC screened 5 residential, 1 church and 5 vacant lot property pre-excavation soil samples during this reporting period.
-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 and church properties 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 currently has signed access agreements for 193 properties and sampled a total of 156 properties.  Of those 156, six had XRF lead readings below the cleanup action level of 400 ppm. Six properties still need to be screened with the XRF instrument.  The other 150 properties would have to be partially or completed remediated.
