Sedgwick Vicinity Ground Scars

In 1986, the EPA s EPIC identified a number of small ground scars or disturbed ground in the vicinity of the Sedgwick Trenches. Some of these became POIs 2, 3,4,5, 6, and 8. None of these were sampled. Also, POIs 4,5, and 6 were completely mislocated, and POI 3 was partially mislocated by the Corps. 

The 1918 aerial photograph clearly shows a number of ground scars, and some have trails leading to them. The 1918 map lists a target believed to be POI 8. It also hsts ruins that are near POI 4. The area was included in the arsenic sampling, and six lots covering several of the POIs or AOIs had arsenic levels above background.
