Cleanup Status
The Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (VDEQ) is the lead agency for managing cleanups at this facility.
The facility was issued a Virginia Voluntary Remediation Program (VRP) Certificate of Satisfactory Completion of Remediation on June 15, 2012. A UECA Environmental Covenant was recorded on June 27, 2012 which includes Activity and Use Limitations.
On September 19, 2016, the VDEQ conducted an initial Long Term Stewardship (LTS) assessment to assess whether the remedy was implemented and protective of human health and the environment. VDEQ determined that the remedy institutional and engineering controls were fully implemented and no control deficiencies were identified.
On September 14, 2026, the VDEQ conducted the second LTS assessment. The assessment found one minor deficiency with “Compliance and Use” reporting as required (frequency once every third year) under the Uniform Environmental Covenant Act (UECA) covenant
