Spring Valley Restoration
Advisory Board

Washington, DC

Spring Valley is the site of a former World War I chemical weapons development and testing site where chemicals such as arsenic, mustard, and Lewisitte (among some 150 other chemicals) have been discovered.

Since 2002, Environmental Stewardship Concepts has been a technical advisor to the Restoration Advisory Board for the cleanup of the chemical weapons development and testing in this residential area of Washington, DC. Cleanup activities are being carried out under the FUDS program of the Department of Defense. The main human health risks are from arsenic found in the soil as well as buried chemical munitions and containers.
