What is Happening at the Central Chemical Superfund Superfund Site?
The investigation of the Central Chemical Superfund Site in Hagerstown, Maryland (see map on back) is being conducted in two Phases. Phase I sampling was completed and a report was compiled. Field work supporting the Phase II environmental study is scheduled to begin in March. The Phase II plan to continue investigating and preparing to clean up the property was reviewed and partially approved by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) in March 2004. The scope of the Phase I work was detailed in the Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study Work Plan which was approved by EPA in 2003.

Workers will be at the site collecting the samples for several weeks. Site workers will be wearing hard hats, steel-tipped boots, and disposable, protective coveralls. A site health
