Additional Property Attributes

The Site is a 0.20-acre community garden constructed on the northwest corner of the Parker Apartments complex at the junction of South Everett Street and West La Salle Avenue in Lakewood, Colorado. Before the area was redeveloped into a community garden in 2022, the Site was a lawn on the Parker Apartment's parcel. The Site is within a primarily residential neighborhood in Lakewood, Colorado. Arsenic was detected above the EPA Residential Regional Screening Levels (RSL) in all soil samples at the Site. Additionally, Benzo(a)pyrene was detected above the EPA Residential RSL in one surface soil sample. According to a toxicologist with EPA, "The concentration of arsenic in soil samples exceeds conservative residential soil RSLs but falls well within the range of concentrations typical in the Denver area. The zone 1 surface sample detected benzo(a)pyrene at a concentration that exceeded soil screening values, however the concentration would not result in exposure and health risk above EPA's target risk range".
