RACER, along with their contractor The Environmental Quality
Co. (EQ) and consultant Conestoga Rovers and Associates, Inc.. (CRA) are
continuing to implement the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ)
and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) approved
remediation activities at the CVO Site (2901 Tyler Road, Ypsilanti, MI).
The work over the past two weeks has included excavation, conditioning
and offsite disposal of impacted soils. The conditioning of impacted
soils involves mixing chemicals into the soil to breakdown the target compounds
(volatile organic compounds (VOCs)) to more innocuous compounds. Off-Site
disposal of conditioned soils continued over the last two weeks.
251 truckloads of soil have been removed from the site, totaling an estimated
12,100 tons. Perimeter air monitoring levels have been significantly
below actions levels established in the MDEQ and EPA approved work plan. Please direct all questions and
concerns to RACER Trust toll free at
1-855-722-3741.
