A Removal Site Evaluation (RSE) was conducted in response to a request from the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR).  The Villa Mobile Home Park Battery Dump Site (the Site) is isolated to a small portion of the Villa Mobile Home Park located in Kannapolis, Cabarrus County, North Carolina.  The mobile home park is comprised of several parcels over 10 acres of land containing approximately 54 mobile homes.  It is bound to the north and west by Verona Street, to the south by Irene Street and to the east by McLain Road.  The primary area of concern is located to the southeast of the intersection of Verona and Venice Streets.  The extent of the buried battery casings and associated contamination is unknown at this time, although estimated to be contained within three parcels of the property.

Several investigations have been performed on the property to date.  S&ME, consultant to NCDENR, conducted an investigation in which borings were conducted using direct push technology.  Through this investigation they estimated approximately 2,600 cubic yards of material containing battery casings.
