There are a couple of Facebook groups that follow closely the CTS cleanup (or lack of cleanup). I will not be posting any new information on this blog, so go to one of the following for more in the future.

CTS of Asheville - Community Update - Public Availability Session planned by EPA for June 23, 2014

On Monday, June 23, 2014, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will host a public availability session regarding air sampling at the CTS of Asheville, Inc. Site.

EPA representatives and North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (NC DHHS) representatives will be available to talk to citizens one-on-one regarding on-going activities conducted at the CTS of Asheville, Inc. Site. The EPA encourages those interested in attending to visit between the hours of 6:00pm and 9:00pm at the Quality Inn & Suites, Biltmore Room located at 1 Skyline Inn Drive, Arden, NC.

A media availability session will be held prior to the public availability session onMonday, June 23, 2014, to allow officials to answer questions from the media. The media session is scheduled from 5:00 p.m. until 5:30 p.m. at the Quality Inn & Suites, Biltmore Room located at 1 Skyline Inn Drive, Arden, NC.

During the week of June 23, 2014, CTS Corporation’s contractor, with EPA oversight, will conduct additional outdoor air, indoor air and crawl space air sampling at properties adjacent to or near the springs area located east of the Site. The proposed air sampling locations were selected based on the results of EPA air sampling in 2007 and 2008, and in consideration of the April 2014 air sampling results. The preliminary sampling results are expected to be received by the EPA the following week.

Our email distribution list for the Site is still growing. Please contact either me or Angela if you did not receive this directly and would like to be added to our distribution list for future community updates.

Sincerely,
Samantha
