Part of the transition agreement was for Hunter Can <br /> Company to address the potential environmental issues associated with the operation of the <br /> can manufacturing facility. The work performed to date is summarized below. <br /> On May 9, 1995 ERM consultants performed a limited investigation in an effort to define the <br /> lateral and vertical extent of a reported accidental surface release. Four hand auger borings <br /> were advanced to a total depth of (10) feet. Detectable concentrations of volatile organic <br /> compounds were found in soil samples collected from three of the four hand auger borings. <br /> On November 29, 1995 WHF consultants continued the investigation by digging an <br /> exploratory trench to a depth of(19) feet. A portable photo-Ionization detector was used to <br /> screen soil contained in the backhoe bucket. Elevated readings above background were <br /> observed to extend to at least the total depth of the exploratory excavation. <br /> This information was reported in WHF's January 3, 1996 Preliminary Site Characterization <br /> Report of Findings. <br /> On June 17, 1996 Geological Technics Inc. was contracted to prepare the following work <br /> plan which proposes to further investigate the extent of contamination at this site. <br />
