Investigation activities were conducted. The pipe was diverted, and seven test pits were dug along the line to identify lead and shot contamination. No shot or other evidence of waste material was found. Seven confirmatory soil samples were collected (one from each test pit). Results are currently in question due to ITS Laboratory practices.
