U.S. EPA's onsite fund-lead removal activities are complete. Final results for residential yard samples were below the detection limit. A four-point composite sample result from the City owned right-of-way adjacent to the site showed very low level asbestos. From aerial photographs, it was learned the ROW was not replaced during the 1999 replacement of the soccer field. After consultation with ATSDR, MDCH, EPA ERT, the School District, and the City of Dearborn, it was determined excavation and removal of contaminated soil - vs. additional soil/activity sampling and potential remobilization - was the most protective and cost effective option.
At the request of U.S. EPA, Federal Railroad Administration official accompanied U.S. EPA onto CSX Transportation’s rail line to conduct further assessment of asbestos contamination. U.S. EPA has been in negotiations with CSXT for nearly six months. On May 17, an Enforcement Action Memo and a Unilateral Administrative Order were finalized.
On May 20, U.S. EPA concluded fund-lead removal activities and demobilized from the site.
