Current Activities

Continued the on-site treatment of contaminated soils by using quick lime, in order to reduce the TCLP levels of lead. Approximately 220 cubic yards of materials were treated (approximately 730 total cubic yards).

Continued the air monitoring of both the perimeter and the work area.

Collected one composite sample from the treated soils for analysis by an outside lab. Analytical test results indicated that the soil treatment was successful.
