Site Summary
The former Ken Foster Farm is a 40-acre site in southeast Sherwood that land applied waste from the nearby Frontier Leather Company tannery in the 1960s and early 1970s. The site was farm and pasture land for many years, but has more recently been developed for residential housing. A Federal Preliminary Assessment (PA) and site soil sampling on two of the properties have indicated that there are elevated concentrations of chromium, lead, and manganese on the site. Oregon DEQ and EPA Region 10 are working with current property owners and residents to perform additional site sampling and determine appropriate actions to protect human health and the environment.
