CAPE CHARLES, Va. — The former Bay Coast Railroad site in Cape Charles is undergoing voluntary environmental remediation after an investigation detected contamination in the soil and groundwater, according to a public notice issued by Canonie Atlantic Company.
The notice states that volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and elevated levels of arsenic were found in shallow soil at 202 Mason Avenue, posing potential risks to human health and the environment. The contamination is believed to be linked to the site’s historical use as a railroad maintenance yard.
To address the issue, Canonie Atlantic Company applied for and was accepted into Virginia’s Voluntary Remediation Program. A Remedial Action Plan, approved by the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality, includes removing petroleum-impacted soil and installing engineered land cover over affected areas. Restrictions on groundwater use will also be implemented.
Residents wishing to comment on the cleanup effort have until April 7, 2025, to submit written feedback. Additional information can be obtained from John Voorhees of Stantec Consulting Services, the firm overseeing the remediation.
