The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers announced it will release an updated  
report about the progress of World War I munitions cleanup around AU  
and Spring Valley on March 10.

The announcement comes after two decades of contamination cleanup  
efforts on AU property and in the surrounding neighborhood. The  
Remedial Investigation Report will detail the potential environmental  
risks across the cleanup project site, which includes the Spring  
Valley neighborhood.

The report is part of a regulatory process overseen by the  
Environmental Protection Agency and D.C. District Department of the  
Environment to determine if more cleanup efforts are required,  
according to Andrea Takash, a spokesperson for the U.S. Army Corps  
segment that is overseeing the cleanup.

"Every other month, we hold Restoration Advisory Board meetings which  
are open to the public and get a good attendance," Takash said. "We  
have been talking about this remedial investigation report for over a  
year. What is new is there are about 100 properties that this report  
will identify as properties that [the U.S. Army Corps] will want to  
look at further."
