Site Testing

Since 2000 there has been a lot of testing for contamination in the Newhall neighborhood. Testing for soil and water pollution has been done on public lands such as the Middle School grounds and athletic fields, Rochford Field, Mill Rock Park, and rights-of-way and at private residences.

By the end of 2005 most of the investigation of the area was completed though some additional testing continues in limited areas.
