The Department of Toxics Substances Control (DTSC) has just released the Work Notice for remediation activities at the Zeneca property adjacent to the Richmond Field Station. As described in the notice, remediation activities, including sediment excavation, mixing and truck activity, will occur from December 5, 2005 to December 31,2005. Continuous air monitoring and dust control measures will be in place during the removal activities. The site will be monitored by DTSC with supplemental monitoring to be completed by the campus Office of Environment, Health & Safety.
Plesae note that unlike previous years, South 46th Street will not be used as a haul road. As shown on the Work Notice Map trucks will be routed through the center of the Zeneca facility, which will reduce the potential for dust, noise and vibration nuisances at the RFS.
