7/28/2008 Site Added to Database Site added to the database. Mitzi Read
7/30/2008 Exposure Tracking Model Ranking Initial ranking with ETM completed. Drum Storage Area 1 ranked as a de minimus exposure for direct contact with surface and subsurface soil due to low concentrations of DRO, all other pathways were incomplete. Storage Area 3 ranked as Current Exposure for direct contact with surface soil and low potential exposure for outdoor air inhalation. Only one sample detected high levels of DRO and RRO in surface soil, leading to the current exposure ranking. Kim DeRuyter
