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.
