What is the status of the soil sampling effort?

As of early May 2023, 148 locations have been sampled. Each location includes a shallow sample (0-1 inch) and deeper sample (1-6 inches). The data were validated by experienced chemists to assess the quality of the preliminary data. During the data validation process, chemists check to see that the data report results have been correctly evaluated. The final validated data results will be shared with property owners. While names and locations of sampling results taken on private property will remain confidential, the data will be posted on EPA’s website.
