Region 3 GPRA Baseline RCRA Corrective Action Facility Federal Mogul Friction Prod. (FormerlyrWagner Electric Corp., Abex) 2410 Papermill Road Winchester, Virginia 22601 Congressional District 10 EPA ID #: VAD003070976 Final Update Current Progress at the Site Wagner Electric Corporation, formerly known as Abex Friction Products, is a brake manufacturing plant. Prior to 1986 (discontinued in mid-1986), hazardous materials were stored on the asphalted drum storage area. In August 1986, EPA issued a corrective action permit requiring soil sampling adjacent to the Drum Storage Area. As a result of the sampling activities lead and chromium were found in the soils adjacent to the Drum Storage Area and EPA determined that corrective measures are necessary. Paving with asphaltic concrete was selected as the corrective measure for the Drum Storage Area to limit direct exposure to contaminated soils and minimize leaching of metals to groundwater. Implementation of the corrective measure was completed in February 1995. A notation that the contaminated soil remains in place under the cap was placed in the deed for the plant property. In addition, a survey plat with a similar notation was filed with the local land use authority. Site Description Wagner Electric Corporation operates a brake-lining manufacturing plant in Winchester, Virginia. The plant is located along Papermill Road, west of Interstate 81. The plant is bounded by CSX Railroad property on the west and Pleasant Valley Road on the east. Prior to 1986, Abex temporarily stored drums containing hazardous material on an asphalt paved Drum Storage Area. The storage of hazardous material was discontinued after mid-1986.
