The Remedial Investigation field work is expected to being by the end of 2025 to determine the nature and extent of contamination which will be followed by a human health risk assessment. Upon completion of the human health risk assessment a human exposure determination can be made. The anticipated date for sufficient information to make a human exposure determination is October 2027. Based on EPA's Hazard Ranking System (HRS) assessment, there are metals (antimony, cadmium, and lead) impacts to soil, sediment, and surface water.
