Bristoe Station Battlefield

. Centex will take title to the property tomorrow. On the 7th of July there is an on-site meeting with Centex and the folks that will be doing the archeology work and ground penetrating radar. Centex will have staked out the limits of disturbance currently shown on their development plan and will indicate the area of the 50 foot buffer around the currently thought of boundaries of the cemeteries. These boundaries and buffers may have to be adjusted if the ground penetrating radar indicates more extensive areas of burials. That testing will not be done until sometime in August. Centex has the option, then, of adjusting the boundaries or relocating graves.
