Time Critical Removal Assessment

1.1.2 Site Description

US EPA received a request from North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NC DENR) to perform a Removal Site Evaluation (RSE) at the Chapel Street Battery Dump Site. The Site is located along Psalms Street in Kannapolis, Rowan County, North Carolina. NC DENR performed an assessment of the site. There are several residents living along Psalm Street and is a private gravel drive that contains visible battery chips in several locations.  Psalm Street is a private drive and it is not clear who owns the street.  According to a resident, all the property owners along the street own the private drive.  Some of the residents along Psalm Street are renters.  The state's analytical indicated lead concentrations present along Psalm Street at concentrations greater than 43,000 parts per million (ppm). Based on these high levels EPA approved a removal action for the Site.
