Clean up activities resumed on August 12, 2008. There are 34 houses with acute arsenic levels over 95 ug/kg, that will be addressed this construction season.
As in the previous years, excavation of arsenic contaminated soils from affected residential properties will be to a 12 inches depth.
Contrary to previiuos years, this time we are using a landscaping contractor to hydroseed the yards. Our crews excavate and backfill the affected areas, and the landscaping company comes in for the hydroseeding. Our workers then water the lawns for 2 weeks to make sure the grass cover is established.
|
|
Complete excavation and backfill of the imapcted properties, and get them restored.
|
|
This project is listed on the National Priorities List. Therefore, the Remedial Program will come in and address about 500 properties with chronic arsenic levels.
