Site Description
Please refer to previous POLREP's for Site Description and background information.

Current Activities
The following activities have occurred during this reporting period:

ERRS crews worked with the home owner to replace carpet in the home and return the home to a state close to what is was prior to the response.  

The only thing that remained at the site was the rolloff box that was used to discard mercury contaminated items.  In mid-September ERRS mobilized to the home and took samples of various items in the rolloff box to run analytical sampling for disposal profile.  Once the results of the sampling came back, the rolloff box was picked up on October 17, 2007 and sent to a disposal facility.  This ended the response at the home.


Planned Removal Actions
Now that the resident is back in the home and the contaminated materials have been sent to a disposal facility, no further removal activities are planned at the Site.
