Pollution Report (POLREP) #19
Site Description
The portion of the Site being addressed by the current action is the Kelly Village apartments.  It is run by the Housing Authority of the City of Houston (HACH).  Sampling by the remedial contractor found contamination in several areas on the apartment complex. Work resumed on February 20, 2006.

Kelly Village is densely populated and the foot traffic is high.  The excavation took place in areas immeditately adjacent to the homes.  Playgrounds and other common areas were included in the area.  Safety of the residents was a foremost concern.



Current Activities
The EPA crews completed the excavation of all the designated grids.  The areas were backfilled, compacted, sodded and restored.  The work was completed without an injury or incident due to the precautions taken by the crews.

A final walk through was conducted with the HACH personnel and they approved the restoration of the property.  This completes all expected work at the Kelly Village Apartments.
