Tropical Storm Chantal Update

The Town’s environmental engineering consultant, Hart & Hickman, has completed soil sampling work to help us understand the potential impacts from Tropical Storm Chantal. Based on the results of the soil sampling completed in the vicinity of the trail outside of the silt fencing—and conservative evaluation of the sample results—potential exposure risks to recreators (trail users) and non-residential workers (e.g., construction workers) is considered within DEQ and EPA acceptable risk levels. This segment of the Bolin Creek Trail, which was closed shortly after the storm, will remain closed for the foreseeable future. We’ll share these same results with DEQ.
