There will be a community meeting on Thursday, June 14th at 6:30 pm at Digital Harbor High School.
The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) has completed its initial health assessment, which evaluates the health risks of arsenic at Swann Park. They will review their report at this meeting, and the community will have the opportunity to discuss the findings and recommendations.
On April 19, 2007, on the recommendation of the Baltimore City Health Department and the Maryland Department of the Environment, the Baltimore City Recreation and Parks Department closed Swann Park in South Baltimore. Test results indicated elevated levels of arsenic in the soil at the park. Updates to this developing situation will be posted on this site.
