Public Availability Session planned by E.P.A. to provide CTS Location Update

ATLANTA - On Monday, June 23, 2014, the E.P.A. (EPA) will host a public availability session regarding air sampling at the CTS of Asheville, Incorporated Site.

E.P.A. representatives and North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (NC DHHS) representatives will be accessible to talk to citizens one-on-one regarding on-going activities conducted at the CTS of Asheville, Incorporated Site. We encourage those interested to visit between the hours of 6:00pm and 9:00pm at the Quality Inn & Suites, Biltmore Room located at one Skyline Inn Drive, Arden, NC.

The CTS of Asheville, Incorporated location is located in south Asheville, near the Skyland Community. Operations occurred at the CTS location from the early 1950's until 1986. CTS Corporation manufactured electronic components at the facility from 1959 to 1985. The chemical compound TCE was used by CTS to clean and/or degrease metal objects prior to electroplating. In 1987, the original 57-acre property was sold to Mills Gap Road Associates (MGRA) who developed a residential neighborhood on approximately 48 acres, leaving a fenced 9-acre location where the manufacturing had occurred.
