Local Soil Testing Continues

Workers from the Collinsville Soil Program made a scheduled visit to my yard Saturday (Feb. 6, 2010) to gather small soil samples. Those samples will be sent in for tests for possible contaminents from Collinsville's early day smelter operations that began about 99 years ago in 1911 and continued until the early 1920s.

The most recent Soil Program advertisement indicated 2,200 local properties have been signed up for this free testing since signups began in Jan. 2009.

Collection tools are cleaned between samples as multiple samples are collected, tagged and logged. The small holes (drilled with hand tools) are refilled. A full report of the findings will be provided later to the each property owner. The soil program is a project of Cyprus Amax Minerals Co. with oversight by the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality. Their local office is at 707 W. Main in Collinsville.
The workers indicated the recent ice, snow and cold have been a challenge but they have worked all but a few of the coldest days when the top soil was frozen. -- Ted Wright 2/6/2010
