Final Update
Current Progress at the Site
On March 21, 2000, EPA representatives visited the Sunrise Medical facility to perform a site
inspection and to evaluate the current status of corrective action at the facility. After reviewing the
available documentation on past and present waste management practices at the Facility, and further
demonstrating through confirmatory soil samp ling that historical operations at Sunrise had not adversely
affected surrounding soils and groundwater, EPA has determined that no further corrective action is
required at the Facility at this time.
