Bay Harbor - Summer 2007 Update

Summer is always a busy time of the year and this is no exception for all the involved parties working on the cleanup efforts at Bay Harbor properties and East Park.

DATA COLLECTION

CMS is continuing data collection within the Bay Harbor Properties and East Park that will be used to design a long-term solution. The collection includes wells throughout the impacted areas to evaluate chemical and physical properties of the cement kiln dust and groundwater flow which produces the leachate. Additionally, CMS will be installing wells this summer to determine the effectiveness of the collection lines installed last year.

BAY HARBOR PROPERTIES

CMS is expected to submit the results of the data collection and the proposed long-term solutions to the EPA and DEQ in the fall of 2007.

EAST PARK

CMS is working to complete the interim activities in East Park. The interim measures include relocation of the eastern most portion of CKD, installation of a collection line along the shore, and installation of a liner over the CKD pile. During the 2007 summer season, CMS will be restoring the east and west sides of the park by importing and grading sand, rooting soil, seeding the areas and restoring the shoreline including repairing riprap. Regulators are still evaluating the long-term solutions proposed by CMS for East Park and, to date, a final remedy has not been approved.
