IB10 Martinsburg LLC has submitted an application to the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection (WVDEP) to participate in a voluntary environmental cleanup at a former apple orchard in Martinsburg, West Virginia under the Voluntary Remediation and Redevelopment Act. The site is located near the intersection of Hospice Lane and Charles Town Road, and east of the Schuman Boulevard termination, in Berkeley and Jefferson Counties, West Virginia, and is approximately 308.8 acres in size.
The Site consisted of open fields and wooded land until 1943, when orchards were first developed and remained as orchards until 1974.
