An updated map shows private properties that have been tested for asbestos on Davidson's West Side. Those in orange tested positive for asbestos and are expected to have soil removed and replaced in late January or early February.
Environmental Protection Agency contractors will be back in Davidson on Wednesday for more soil tests at homes near an old asbestos mill. They're trying to see if any additional properties are contaminated with asbestos from the former Carolina Asbestos factory near downtown.
The old mill operated from the 1930s to the 1960s, producing asbestos fabric, tiles and shingles. Waste material was tossed into a ditch, and sometimes used as fill in nearby yards and driveways.
