The Site is a former orchard area that has had residential development. Prior to an EPA ban in 1972, a variety of pesticides including lead-arsenates and DDT compounds were applied.
EPA conducted a removal action at one property at the Crozet Arsenic Site in Crozet, Virginia. Historical sampling indicated that additional properties may need removal work.
ERRS began clearing brush, installing silt fence and began fern prepping activities on May 7. Fern planting activities began on May 10; three grids were completed for week ending 5/11/07. Dr Blaylock with Edenspace was on-site to consult fern planting operations.
START collected one 9-point composite sample to be analyzed via XRF and laboratory analysis. The sample was from a fern planting grid above 100 ppm and shaded.
EPA will continue to meet with residents and answer any questions they may have.
EPA will begin removal actions in the Orchard Acres subdivision.
