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.
To date, twelve properties have had removal work due to arsenic concentrations above 58 mg/kg.
One property continues to have removal work done. Phytoremediation is being used to remove the arsenic contamination.
On Oct 29, EPA mobilized to the site and collected soil samples from each of the fern plots. A total of 15 samples (including a duplicate) were collected and sent to the laboratory for arsenic analysis.
ERRS mobilized to site on Nov 11th to harvest the ferns and dispose.
ERRS harvested all of the ferns and shipped them offsite to Envirite of PA, INC for disposal. Total volume was one (1, twenty (20) yard rolloff.
EPA will evaluate the results of the sampling and determine if further remediation is needed for any of the plots.
