1999 PCB investigation Altavista area

Final analysis of soil samples from Altavista/Hurt area, (pdf) 10/23/2000

PCB data from BGF Industries Inc. of Altavista. BGF has given DEQ a preliminary report of the company's investigation of PCB contamination at the facility. The report provides the results of analyses of soil, subsoil, ground water, sediment and surface water samples. Copies of the data can be obtained from Kip Foster, DEQ West Central Regional Office, (540) 562-6782, e-mail kdfoster@deq.virginia.gov. BGF is continuing its investigation of PCBs, and additional data will be listed here as it is available.
