RACER TRUST UPDATE

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.
