The City of Frisco is offering FREE Blood Testing to all Frisco TX residents. This FREE blood testing is part of the on-going investigation of growing concerns about the lead emissions from Exide Technologies - a battery recycling plant located just north of Stonebrook Parkway and Parkwood (East of the Tollway).

Exide Technologies Frisco TXTexas Department of Health Services will conduct the FREE blood testing from March 24th 2011 (Thursday) through  March 27th 2011 (Sunday) at the 4th Floor of the Frisco City Hall (6101 Frisco Square Blvd.)

The hours for the FREE Blood Testing are:

Thursday March 24th 2011: 8am - 8pm
Friday March 25th 2011: 8am - 8pm
Saturday March 26th 2011: 8am - 6pm
Sunday March 27th 2011: 1pm - 5pm

This FREE blood testing is open for all concerned Frisco TX city residents including children.

 

**************

A Little Inside History

In 2008, Texas Governor Rick Perry signed into law for new EPA air quality standards and this affected the new non-attainment zone for lower lead emissions. There had been concerns because with the new, more stringent requirement, the air quality would now exceed the new low air emission standards. The TCEQ lowered the new emission standards tenfold to increase protection to the younger children.

On a separate note, Exide Technologies requested for increased production here within the City of Frisco back in 2008 to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality TCEQ. The City of Frisco protested the increase and Exide Technologies withdrew the application once it learned that the City of Frisco objected the new increased production levels.

The TCEQ has monitored lead concentration in ambient air in Frisco since 1980 and currently has 3 monitor stations in Frisco.

Over the recent years, the City of Frisco conducted various tests and investigation to study the effects of the lead emission.

Based on the letter from TCEQ to the City of Frisco dated September 1 2010, the emission levels monitored in nearby schools is well below the 2008 lead emission air quality standards.

Any concerned Frisco TX residents should have their blood tested, as provided by the City of Frisco at the times listed above.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

Read about what our satisfied clients have to say:

When she arrived for our appointment, we went through the normal preliminary procedures and all was fine. Then she surprised us. She had already done most of the work and only needed to take a few pictures of the inside and determine the price that we would be comfortable asking. She also spent a great deal of time explaining to us how the whole sales process work and what we could expect.

Eric & Tomoko Quere, Plano TX

 

Ultimately, Loreena introduced us to the house we bought--it was not one we found from our own hours of searching web listings--based on the the comments we had made while we visited these different homes. This is a testimony to her ability to listen well and to work proactively on our behalf.

Jenn & Glen Miller, Denton TX

We were completely impressed with Loreena. She helped us find and buy a home in Frisco. We have very high expectations from a realtor and she surpassed them. Knows her market extremely well, not just the technical market pricing data, but the nuances of all the neighborhoods as well. One of the most responsive and professional persons I've met in my entire business career.

Ruth & Jerry Meek, Frisco TX

I just want to thank you again for your help in selling our house. In this tough economy and market, I really didn't expect to get an offer. But you counseled me so well in pricing the house to sell and yet not letting me accept an offer that was too low. I believe we got the best deal we could have. I was so pleased and surprised with what we walked away with.

Sally & Phillip Barnard, Frisco TX
