Please see PolRep #14.
During this reporting period, an additional 20 residential properties were excavated, back filled, and restored to pre-excavation conditions, to the extent practicable.
Also during this reporting period, there was a change of clean up contractor. The new company, Environmental Quality Management took over the project on July 23, 2007. They subcontracted Veolia Environmental Services to do the work. The change was needed due to the lack of qualified personnel on the previous company to feed our demand. The current contractor has enough staff for us to be working in 3 properties at once, which will expedite the clean ups. Please be aware that a new company comes in with a different budget, therefore the numbers showed for costs are not cumulative, but for the new contractor from July 24 to now.
Continue excavation and restoration work at properties with arsenic levels over EPA's removal action level of 95 mg/kg, and continue public outreach.
Obtain the 39 pending access agreements.
Lack of response from home owners regarding the need for clean up at their properties.
