            This document consists of descriptions of 93 sites placed on the final
        National Priorities List (NFL) in September 1989.  Also included as an addendum
        are descriptions of 31 sites being dropped from the proposed NFL, most of them
        because they are related to Subtitle C of the Resource Conservation and
        Recovery Act.

            Ihe size of the site is generally indicated based on information available
        at the time the site was scored using the Hazard Ranking System.   Ihe size may
        change as additional information is gathered on the sources and extent of
        contamination.

            Sites are arranged alphabetically by State and by site name.

        Rpmedial Actions Under Superfund

              Ihe Superfund program is authorized by the Comprehensive Environmental
        Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCXA)  and the Superfund
        Amendments and Reauthorization Act  (SARA), enacted on October 17,  1986.  Under
        SARA, the Hazardous Substances Superfund pays the costs not assumed by
        responsible parties for cleaning up hazardous waste sites or emergencies that
        threaten public health, welfare, or the environment.  Ihe Superfund program is
        managed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

              Two types of responses may be taken when a hazardous substance is released
         (or threatens to  be released) into the environment:

              o Removal actions, emergency-type responses to imminent threats.  SARA
                limits these actions to 1 year and/or $2 million, with a waiver possible
                if the actions are consistent with remedial actions.   Removal actions
                can be undertaken by the private parties responsible for the  releases
                or by the  Federal Government using the Superfund.

              o Remedial responses,  actions intended to provide permanent solutions at
                abandoned  or uncontrolled hazardous waste sites. Rpmpriial responses are
                generally  longer-term and more expensive than removals.  A Superfund
                remedial response can be taken only if a site is on the NFL.  After
                publishing two preliminary lists and proposing  a formal list,  EPA
                published  the first NFL in  September 1983.   Ihe list must be updated at
                least annually.

-------
     The money for conducting a remedial response or removal action at a
hazardous waste site can come from several sources:

     o The individuals or companies responsible for the problems can clean up
       voluntarily with  EPA or State  supervision.
                                              I
     o The responsible party  or parties can be forced to clean up by Federal
       or State legal action.

     o A State or local  government can choose to assume the responsibility to
       cleanup without Federal dollars.

     o Superfund  can pay for  the  cleanup, then seek to recover the costs from
       the responsible party  or parties.

     A remedial response under Superfund is an orderly process that generally
 involves the following steps;

     o Take any measures needed to stabilize conditions,  which might involve,
       for example, fencing the site  or removing above-ground drums or bulk
       tanks.

     o Undertake initial planning activities to scope out a strategy for
       collecting information and analyzing alternative courses of action.

      o Conduct a remedial  investigation to determine the type and extent of
       contamination at the site.

      o Conduct a feasibility study to analyze various cleanup alternatives.
       The feasibility study is often conducted with the remedial
        investigation as one project.   Typically, the two together cost
        $1 million and take from 9 to 18 months to complete.

      o  Select the cleanup alternative that:

         — Protects human health and the environment

         — Attains Federal and State requirements that are
            applicable or relevant and appropriate
         — Makes Tnaxiimm use of permanent solutions, alternative
            treatment technologies, or resource recovery
            technologies

         — Is "cost effective11 — that is, the results achieved
            are proportional to the cost (tentative working definition)

       o Design the remedy.  Typically, the design phase costs $750,000 and
         takes 6 to 12 months.

       o Implement the remedy, which might involve, for  example, constructing
         facilities to treat ground water or removing contaminants to a safe
                 area away from the site.  The implementation phase typically
         lasts 6 to 12 months.

-------
     The State government can participate in a remedial response under
Superfund in one of two ways:

     o The State can take the lead role tinder a cooperative  agreement, which
       is much like a grant in that Federal dollars are transferred to the
       State.  The State then develops a workplan, schedule, and budget,
       contracts for any services it needs, and is responsible for making sure
       that all the conditions in the cooperative agreement are met.  In
       contrast to a grant, EPA continues to be substantially involved and
       monitors the State's progress throughout the project.

     o EPA can take the lead under a Superfund State Contract, with the State
       having an advisory role.  EPA, generally using contractor support,
       manages work early in the planning process.  In the later design and
       implementation  (construction) phases, contractors do the work under the
       supervision of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.  Under both
       arrangements, the State must share in the cost of the implementation
       phase of cleanup.  EPA expects this phase to average out at about
       $13.5 million per site, plus any costs to operate and maintain the
       remedial action.

Superfund hazardous waste site listed under the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) as amended in 1986

                       MOTOROLA,  INC. (52ND STREET PLANT)
                                 Phoenix, Arizona

      Conditions at listing  (October 1984); Motorola, Inc., manufactures
  semiconductors and related components  at a  plant on 52nd Street in Phoenix,
  Maricopa County, Arizona.  The  facility is  situated approximately 1.5 miles
  northeast of the Sky Harbor International Airport and is surrounded by
  residential, industrial, business,  agricultural,  and recreational areas.

      Ground water beneath the  52nd Street Plant is contaminated with tri-
  chloroethylene  (TCE), trichloroethane  (TCA),  and other organic and inorganic
  compounds, according to analyses conducted  by EPA and Motorola.
  Contamination may have resulted from leaking storage tanks, leaking effluent
  lines, and past disposal practices,  including the use of dry wells.   Motorola
  detected TCE and TCA in its monitoring wells at least 1 mile from the
  facility.  Several private wells not used for drinking and one irrigation well
  contain TCE above the State action level of 5 parts per billion.

      Prior to October 1983, Motorola installed 22  on-site and 6 off-site
  monitoring wells, as described  in a Phase I remedial investigation report.   In
  October 1983, the Arizona  Department of Health Services established  a Task
  Force comprised of the State, EPA,  and local agencies.   The Task Force has
  guided Motorola in developing a detailed workplan for a remedial
  investigation/feasibility  study (RI/FS)  to  determine the type and  extent of
  contamination  at the site  and identify alternatives for remedial action.

      The plant  received Interim  Status  under Subtitle C of the Resource
  Conservation and Recovery  Act (RCRA) when the company filed Part A of a
  permit application.

      Status fJanuary 1986); Motorola has completed most field activities for
  Phase II  of the RI/FS.  The report is  expected in 1986.   Off-site sampling
  has confirmed  a plume of contaminated  ground water extending at least 1 mile
  west  of the plant.  In 1986,  additional monitoring wells will be installed,
  ground water and soil will be tested,  and a pilot plant for pumping and
  treating  contaminated ground  water will be  installed.

      Status (June 1988): EPA is  proposing to place this  previously proposed
  RCRA  site on the final NPL.   On May 19,  1986,  Motorola  requested that the
  facility  be converted to a hazardous waste  generator.   On July 29, 1986, EPA
  confirmed that the  plant was  operating as a generator.  Hence,  it satisfies a
  component of EPA's  NPVRCRA policy.

      In May 1986, the State certified that a container storage area on-site
  had been  cleaned up in accordance with Subtitle C.

      Status (August  1989):  EPA has placed this site on the NPL.

      Following  public comment  on Motorola's RI/FS, a Record of Decision was
  signed  in September 1988 finalizing the remedy for the  first phase of the
  response.   Work is  scheduled  to begin  in late 1990.  Motorola and the State
  signed  a  Consent Decree in June 1989 and stipulated penalties for the remedial
  design  and remedial action.

Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) as amended in 1986

                        BROWN & BRYANT, INC.  (ARVIN PLANT)
                                Arvin,  California

      Conditions at listing  (June 1988):  Brcwn & Bryant, Inc.  (B&B) has
  formulated liquid agricultural  chemicals on a 4.7-acre site at 600 South
  Derby Road in Arvin, Kern County, California, since 1960.  The area is
  agricultural, with both croplands and orchards near the site.

      Inspections by the California Department of Health Services and the
  California Regional Water Quality Control Board have documented numerous
  instances of poor housekeeping  practices.   On the site are tanks holding
  Dinoseb and two unlined ponds for pesticide rinse water.   One pond is no
  longer in use. The other, a 250,000-gallon  pond, has overflowed twice, and a
  tank has leaked.

      In 1984, the California Department  of Health Services identified various
  pesticides, including dibromochloropropane, ethylene dibromide,  and Dinoseb C
   (which has been banned by EPA),  as well as  1,2-dichloropropane and
  chlorobenzene, in on-site wells.  Public and private wells within 3 miles of
  the site provide drinking water to 7,200 people and irrigate 19,600 acres of
  cropland.  City of Arvin Well #1 is  1,500 feet from the site.

      Ihe County District Attorney has filed  charges against the owner/operator
  of B&B for the company's hazardous waste handling practices.

      This facility is  being proposed  for the NFL because it is classified as a
   "non  or late-filer" under  Subtitle C of the Resource Conservation and Recovery
  Act  (RCRA). Although  the facility was treating,  storing,  or disposing of
  hazardous waste after November  19, 1980,  it did not file  a Part A permit
   application by that date as required and has little or no history of
   compliance with RCRA  Subtitle C.

      Status  (August  1989);  EPA received  no comments  on this site and so has
   placed it on the NPL.

      B&B is  going out  of business.  EPA  is evaluating a  proposal by insurance
   companies representing B&B which would  take over all company  assets and
   provide a negotiated  settlement to EPA  and  the State in exchange for an
   agreement absolving B&B, its president,  and their insurance companies of
   further liability.  The State has agreed to the  settlement; EPA is awaiting
   judicial resolution of attorneys' fees  and  other key issues.

      EPA's Emergency Response Program is evaluating the  need to conduct a
   removal action at the site.  In the  fall of 1989, EPA is  scheduled to start a
   remedial  investigation/feasibility study to determine the type and extent of
   contamination at the  site  and identify  alternatives  for remedial action.

              EAIRCHIID SMIOONDUCTOR O3RP.  (SOUTH SAN JOSE PLANT)
                            South San Jose, California

      Conditions at listing  (October 1984) ; Faijrchild Semiconductor Corp.
 manufactures semiconductors on approximately 20 acres in South San Jose, Santa
 Clara County, California.  Land-use in the vicinity of the site is
 agricultural, residential, and commercial.

      This site was proposed under the name "Fairchild Camera & Instrument Corp.
  (South San Jose Plant) ".  The company  took the new name in 1986.

      Soils and part of a major aquifer  providing drinking water to an estimated
  65,000 people are contaminated with trichloroethane and other solvents,
  according to analyses conducted by the Great Oaks Water Co.  and Fairchild.
  One municipal well within  3 miles  of the site has been taken out  of service.

      In response to a request  from  the  California Regional Water Quality
  Control Board, Fairchild is voluntarily  taking action to contain  and reduce
  the plume of contamination.   Fairchild has started an investigation to
  determine the extent of the problem at the site and is currently  undertaking
  interim cleanup measures consisting of excavation of contaminated soils,  the
  pumping and treatment of contaminated  ground water,  and construction of a
  slurry wall to reduce the  spread of contamination from the site.

      The plant received Interim Status  under  Subtitle C of the Resource
  Conservation and Recovery  Act (FCRA) when the company  filed  Part A of a permit
  application.

      This  is  one of  19 sites in the South Bay Area of San Francisco.
  Facilities at  these sites have used a  variety of toxic chemicals, primarily
  chlorinated  organic solvents, which contaminate a common ground water basin.
  Although  these sites  are  listed separately,  EPA intends to apply an  area-wide
  approach  to  the problem as well as take  specific action as necessary.
       Status f,TantMTy i QRfi) ;  Fairchild has removed contaminated soil from the
   facility,  has installed a system to pump and treat contaminated ground water,
   and is constructing the slurry wall.

       Status (June 1988) ; EPA is proposing to place this previously proposed
   RCRA site on the final NPL.  In  1982,  the facility converted to a hazardous
   waste generator.  Hence, it satisfies  a component of EPA's NPL/RCRA policy.

       The slurry wall has been completed.   In a pilot  test, vapor extraction
   proved to effectively clean up contaminated soil within the wall.  A full-
   scale system is scheduled to be  implemented shortly.  Contaminated ground
   water continues to be pumped and treated.

       Status (August 1989) ; EPA has placed this site on the NPL.

       A Record of Decision was signed in March 1989, finalizing the remedy and
   concurring with State orders for final cleanup.   The company is in compliance
   with these orders.  The remedy includes pumping  and  treatment of ground water
   and vapor extraction to remove contaminants from soils.  In addition, the
   feasibility of reinjecting treated ground water  is being studied.

                                Fresno, California

      Conditions at listing  (June 1988); Fresno! Municipal Sanitary landfill
  covers approximately 130 acres on the edge  of the City of Fresno, Fresno
  County,  California.  The surrounding area is primarily agricultural with some
  homes to the north and south. The city has  owned and operated the landfill
  since 1935.   It expanded to its current  size in 1945.  The landfill has a
  permit from the State to accept nonhazardous solid waste and general refuse.

      In 1983, tests by the  California Department of Health Services (CDHS)
  revealed that methane gas  was migrating  from the landfill.  In June 1984,
  residents living adjacent  to the landfill wrote letters to EPA and CDHS
  alleging that waste crankcase oils and solvents had been openly disposed at
  the landfill.  In November 1984, Fresno  installed 17 wells around the
  perimeter of the landfill  to monitor methane and 6 wells  to monitor ground
  water.  The city also constructed barriers  on two sides of the landfill to
  control methane migration.  Monitoring conducted in 1985  indicated that
  methane migration to nearby homes was decreasing.

      According  to sampling  conducted  in 1984 by  CDHS and the California
  Regional Water Quality Control Board, tetrachloroethylene,  trichloroethylene,
  methylene chloride, and dichloroethylene are present in wells at the edge of
  the landfill.  Upgradient  wells show no  contamination,  and no other possible
  sources of contamination are known to exist upgradient  of the site.

      Nine municipal wells are within  3 miles of the Fresno landfill.   Water
  from these wells feeds into a blended system that serves  the City of Fresno.
  The general distribution area serves approximately 260,000 people.  Nine
  private wells  within  3 miles of the  landfill serve an additional 3,000 people
  who have  no other  source of drinking water.

       Status  (August 1989);  EPA is considering various alternatives for the
  site.

                                   J.H. BAXTER CO.
                                  Weed,  California

      (Tflnfl-jt-jgns at listing (October 1984): J.H. Baxter Co.  has  owned and
   operated a wood-treatment facility at the  base of Mount Shasta in Weed,
   Siskiyou County, California, since 1962.   Prior to  1962,  the  plant was owned
   and  operated by Long Bell Latter Co. and International  Paper  Co.   Roseburg
   Forest Products Co. owns and operates a lumber products facility adjacent to
   Baxter.

      Tne chemicals used to treat wood include pentachlorophenol , arsenic
   compounds, and creosote.  Analyses conducted by the conpany and the California
   Regional Water Quality Control Board (CRWQCB) detected  arsenic, polynuclear
   aromatics, and pentachlorophenol in ground water  beneath  the  site.   Heavy
   metals, pentachlorophenol, tetrachlorophenol, and creosote  have been detected
    in surface water downstream of the site.

      CRWQCB issued the cauJdiiy a Cleanup and Abatement Order  in March 1983
    and a Cease and Desist Order in May 1983.  The conpany  has  installed
    monitoring wells and taken measures to collect and  direct rainwater run-off.
       Status (February igHfii? CRWQCB ordered J. H. Baxter Co. , International
    Paper Co. , and Roseberg wood Products Co. to develop a site characterization
    study in accordance with a workplan developed earlier by the conpanies.

       In December 1985, EF7V issued Notice Letters to the conpanies.  In
    response, the conpanies agreed to meet with EPA to develop a workplan for a
    remedial investigation/feasibility study (RJ/FS) to determine the type and
    extent of contamination at the site and identify alternatives for remedial
    action.

       Two units at the facility that were regulated under Subititle C of the
    Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCEA) have been closed.  EPA and the
    State are now trying to determine if the closures meet RCRA requirements.  •

       status (June 1988); EPA is proposing to place this previously proposed
    RCRA site on the NPL because it has a history of unwillingness to take
    corrective action.  Although Baxter has had Interim status since it filed Part
    of a RCRA permit application on November 19, 1980, it has consistently sought
    to withdraw that filing since 1983 , and has continued to dispute RCRA
    jurisdiction over its facility.  By these actions, the conpany has shown
    itself to be unwilling to comply with numerous State and EPA Regional demands
    for cleanup and/or closure under RCRA and other statutes.   The company does
    not dispute that soil and ground water at the site are contaminated; rather,
    it disputes the applicability of RCRA to those problems.

       Because it appears unlikely that corrective action can be achieved
    quickly  under RCRA, EPA is dealing with the contamination under Superfund.
    After lengthy negotiations failed with J.H. Baxter Co. , International Paper
    Co. ,  and Roseberg Wood Products Co. over their conduct of the RI/FS, EPA
    started  an RI/FS in January 1987.

       This  site's score on the Hazard Ranking system, which EPA uses to
    evaluate sites for the NPL, has been revised.  Therefore,  EPA is soliciting
    comnents on the revised score.

        Status (August 1989): EPA has placed this site on the NPL.

        EPA released the final RI report in January 1989 and is preparing the
     FS.   International Paper, J.H. Baxter, and Roseburg Forest Products are
     conducting treatability studies on soils and ground water.  These data will be
     used in the FS to evaluate remedial alternatives.

                            Mountain View,  California

      Conditions at listing  (June 1988);  Jasco Chemical Corp. has formulated
  chemical products on a 2.05-acre  site in Mountain View, Santa Clara County,
  California, since 1976.  The site is bordered on the northeast by the Central
  Expressway and the Southern Pacific  Railroad, and on the remaining sides by
  residential neighborhoods.

      In January 1983, a citizen  complained to the California Regional Water
  Quality Control Board  (CF5^2CB)  that  the facility was dumping solvents at the
  rear of the site on a daily basis.   CRWQCB requested Jasco to install a
  monitoring well at the site to  determine if  ground water was contaminated.

      Both ground water and  soil  are contaminated at the site, according to
  analyses conducted by consultants to Jasco.   Methylene chloride
  concentrations are as high as 142,000 parts  per million in ground water, and
  soil is highly contaminated with  pentachlorophenol to depths of 20 feet.
  Contamination is believed  to have resulted from any of the following sources:
  an underground tank farm,  two dry wells used for disposal of storm water run-
  off from the  roof and paved portion  of the site, and a drain that discharges
  surface run-off at the rear of  the site.

      The company is working with GRWQCB to determine the extent of the
  contamination and to prevent further migration of the contaminants.   In
  addition,  the City of Mountain  View  closed nearby Municipal Well  #17  in 1987,
  until the lateral and vertical  extent of the pollution has been defined.
  About 333,000 people obtain drinking water from wells within 3 miles of the
  site.

      Status (August  1989);  Jasco is pumping and treating ground water to
  remove contamination.  In  July  1988, Municipal Well #17 was returned to
  service.   In November  1988, Jasco excavated  550 cubic feet of contaminated
  soil  and transported it to a hazardous waste facility regulated under
  Subtitle C of the Resource Conservation and  Recovery Act.

      ffanflifrions at listing  (October 1984):  Lorerttz Barrel & Drum Co. recycles
   drums at a. plant in San Jose, Santa Clara County, California.  Tire 5-acre site
   is surrounded by residential, industrial, and business areas.

      On-site monitoring wells are contaminated  with trichloroethane ,
   trichloroethylene, 1,1-dichloroethylene,  and  tetrachloroethylene, according to
   analyses conducted by a consultant  to Lorentz.  Contamination is believed to
   have resulted from overflowing sumps  and  spills.   About 250,000 people obtain
   drinking water from wells within  3  miles  of the site.  Lorentz is working with
   the California Regional Water Quality Board (CRWQCB)  to determine the extent
   of ground water contamination.  The board issued a Cleanup and Abatement Order
   to the company in August  1983.

      Tne plant received Interim status  under Subtitle C of the Resource
   Conservation and Recovery Act  (RCRA)  when the company filed Part A of a permit
   application.  On March 25, 1981,  EPA  removed  the facility as a treatment,
   storage, or disposal facility because it  was  not engaged in hazardous waste
   activities.

      This  is one of 19 sites in the South Bay Area of San Francisco.
   Facilities at these sites have used a variety of toxic chemicals, primarily
   chlorinated organic solvents, which contaminate a cannon ground water basin.
   Although these sites are  listed separately, EPA intends to apply an area-vide
   approach to the problem as well as  take specific action as necessary.
       status  (Fffo-iipry ig«(i);  in March 1985, ETA and the California Department
   of  Health  Services (CDHS) discovered over 300 drums containing phenols,
   methylene  chloride, and PCBs stored on the Lorentz property.   In response to
   action by  the Santa Clara District Attorney,  the company removed the drums.

       CRWQCB  is overseeing the Lorentz investigation to  determine the extent of
   ground water contamination.   dHS will oversee the investigation of  soil
   contamination.

       Cn February 7,  1986, the Santa Clara County District  Attorney filed a
   complaint  against  the company for violation of State  hazardous waste laws.
   •me facility has been shut  down until  procedures for  compliance  are  developed.

       Status  (June 1988); EPA  is proposing to place this previously proposed
    RCRA site  on the final NFL.   me company is classified as a "non-filer."
    Hence, it  satisfies a component of EPA's NPL/RCRA policy.

       In July 1987, the owner  of the Lorentz site was ordered to  shut it down
    permanently, sentenced to 2 years in jail, and fined  $2.04 million.

       Recent  sampling by CDHS  consultants has shown extensive contamination  in
    soil and ground water, both on- and off-site. In addition to  the chlorinated
     organics identified earlier, pesticides, metals, and PCBs are present.

       On December 1,  1987, EPA toe* over as lead agency  for a remedial
    investigation/feasibility study (RI/FS) at the site.  In February 1988, CDHS
    completed an expedited response action consisting of  excavating  soil with high
    concentrations of PCBs.  In March 1988, EPA and  CDHS  completed removal of
    1,000 drums of hazardous materials.  All materials were  transported  to
    regulated disposal facilities.   The site was  then graded and the surface
    sealed to control drainage.

       In May 1988 , EPA completed an engineering  evaluation  cost analysis for
    systems to pump and treat shallow contaninated ground water.

       status (August  19891: EPA has placed this  site on  the NFL.

       EPA completed the RI/FS.  Following a period of public conment. a Record
    of Decision was signed in September 1988  finalizing the  remedy as treatment of
    ground water  with  an ozone ultraviolet light oxidation system.  EPA  is _
    currently designing an off-site extraction system and an on-site treatment
     facility.   EPA is  aT" investigation the extent of the contamination in soils
    and on structures  and expects to complete an RI/FS for the overall site in
    early 1990.

                               Torrance, California

      Conditions at listing  (October 1984); Montrose Chemical Corp.
 manufactured DDT on a 13-acre site in a light industrial/residential area of
 Torrance,  Los Angeles County, California, from 1947 until 1982.  About 3,000
 people live or work within 0.25 mile  of the site.

      The company's operations  included formulation,  grinding, packaging, and
 distribution of DDT.  According to analyses conducted by EPA, Montrose, and
 various State and local agencies, on- and off-site soils, surface water, and
  sediments are contaminated with DDT.  The major transport mechanisms
  identified were storm water run-off and aerial emissions.

      On May 6, 1983, EPA issued an Administrative Order under CERCtA Section
  106 requiring Montrose Chemical to cease all discharges of DDT and to initiate
  a study to determine the nature and extent  of contamination.  After a more
  detailed review of the Montrose site, EPA determined that further work was
  necessary to characterize  the site and  evaluate alternatives.  Therefore,  EPA
  prepared a workplan for a  remedial investigation/feasibility study (RI/FS).
  This second phase of investigation will assess all  areas of contamination,
  both on- and off-site, and any public health and environmental impacts.

      Status  (June 1986); In February 1985, Montrose  installed a temporary
  asphalt cover  over the site.  EPA did not endorse this  activity.

      In the summer of 1985, EPA conducted Part I of the  Rl.   On-site
  sampling found high levels of contamination at 77-foot  depths in soil and in
  shallow ground water.  In  October 1985,  Montrose and EPA signed an
  Administrative Order under CERCLA Section 106 requiring Montrose to conduct
  Part  II of the RI, which includes on-site sampling of ground water and off-
  site  sampling  of soil, sediments, surface water, and ground water.

      Status (November 1988):  During July 1986,  EPA sampled off-site dust and
  soil  and verified that DOT migrated off-site via aerial dispersion.

      In November 1986, Montrose completed Phase I sampling under Part II of
  the RI.  Results indicated that soils near  the site  are contaminated with high
  levels of  EOT,  and that the  two shallower aquifers in the four-aquifer system
  underlying the site are contaminated  with DOT and monochlorobenzene.

      In October 1987, EPA and Montrose signed an amendment to the October
  1985  Administrative Order, calling for  both on- and  off-site sampling of the
  two deeper aquifers in the four-aquifer system.

      Status (August  1989);  In July 1989,  EPA and Montrose  signed a second
  amendment  to the original  order, under  which Montrose will conduct the FS for
  the overall  site and evaluate options for removing DDT-contaminated sediments
  in the sanitary sewer lines  near the  site.

      Sampling conducted under the first  amended order indicates that ground
  water is contaminated with high levels  of monochlorobenzene  0.25 mile
  downgradient from the site.   Deep wells and additional downgradient wells will
  be constructed and  sampled.

      Conditions at listing  (June 1988); The Pacific Coast Pipe Lines Site
  covers 100 acres at 67 East Telegraph Road in Fillmore, Ventura County,
  California.  During 1920-52, the site was a Texaco,  Inc., refinery.  When the
  refinery closed, most of it was dismantled. Pacific Coast Pipe Lines, a
  department of Texaco, took the site over in 1953,  operating it as a crude oil
  pumping station.

      Liquid and semisolid refinery wastes were disposed of in on-site unlined
  pits and sumps.  Texaco identified  eight areas where hazardous waste may have
  been deposited.  Soil in six of the areas contains benzene, 1,3-
  dichlorobenzene, and lead.

      Three monitoring wells on-site  contain benzene and 1,3-dichlorobenzene,
  according to Texaco analyses conducted  in 1983. An estimated 10,000 people
  obtain drinking water and  as many as 4,000 acres of agricultural land are
  irrigated  from wells within 3 miles of  the site.

      In 1985 and 1986, Texaco transported 33,000 cubic yards of contaminated
  soils to a hazardous waste facility regulated under Subtitle C of the Resource
  Conservation  and Recovery  Act.

      Status (August 1989);  EPA is investigating the possibility that Texaco
  will  conduct  a remedial investigation/feasibility study to determine the type
  and extent of contamination at the site and identify alternatives for remedial

      Conditions at listing  (June 1988): Synertfck,  Inc.  (SI)  manufactured
  electronics in five buildings on a 3.5-acre site at 3050 Coronado Boulevard in
  Santa Clara, Santa Clara County, California, from March 1978 to February 1985.
  SI,  a subsidiary of Honeywell, Inc.,  operated  a neutralization system
  consisting of three buried tanks during  1974-82.  Building 1 is adjacent to the
  tank system, which was removed in April  1985.   A buried tank for storing
  trichloroethylene (TCE) and trichloroethane (TCA)  was  installed in 1976 and
  removed in February 1985.  According  to  California Regional Water Quality
  Control Board (CRW3CB) files, the neutralization tank  and solvent storage tank
  appear to have leaked.  In 1985, Honeywell  found TCE,  TCA,  and other
  chlorinated solvents in ground water  on  and off the site.   Both the shallow
  and deep aquifers are contaminated.   An  estimated 300,000 people obtain
  drinking water from public wells within  3 miles of the site.

      Honeywell is constructing a single-^well extraction system to pump
  contaminated ground water  to  the surface, route it through  two air-stripping
  towers to remove contaminants, and discharge the treated water to the storm
  sewer.  The discharge will be regulated  under  a permit issued by CRWQCB under
  the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System.   The pumping system is
  scheduled to be in operation  shortly.

      Status  (August 1989);  Under CRWQCB orders,  Honeywell is conducting  a

                            KXKt FIATS PLANT (USDOE)
                                 Golden, Colorado

      Conditions at listing (October 1984^: The/Rocky Flats Plant covers
  approximately 6,550 acres (about 11 square miles) in Jefferson  County, near
  Golden, Colorado.  The facility originally covered 2,000 acres, but a 4,550-
  acre "buffer zone" was added in 1974.  The main processing operations are
  confined to approximately 384 acres within the buffer zone.

      The plant began operations  in 1952 under the direction of the U.S. Atomic
  Energy Commission  (USAEC).   Later,  ownership was transferred to the U.S.
  Energy Research and Development Administration (USERDA) and eventually to the
  current owner, the U.S.  Department of Energy (USDOE).  Actual operations at
  the plant  have been performed by contractors.  Dow Chemical Co. operated the
  plant until June 30,  1975,  when the current operator, Rockwell International
  Corp., entered into a contract  with USERDA.

      Since  its  establishment, the major operation at the plant has been the
  fabrication and assembly of components for nuclear weapons.   In these
  operations, the facility uses plutonium,  uranium, beryllium,  stainless steel
  and aluminum.   The facility also recovers plutonium and separates and performs
  research on americium.

      Releases of industrial  solvents, pesticides,  plutonium,  and tritium from
  these operations have contaminated soils, surface water sediments,  and ground
  water at various locations  on the facility.  Plutonium contamination of soils
  and sediments  has  also been documented beyond the boundaries of the Federally-
  owned land.  Additionally,  three evaporation ponds have contributed to nitrate
  contamination  of ground  water.

      USDOE has  completed  some remedial work such as capping and removing
  Plutonium-contaminated soils.   USDOE is  also improving liquid waste treatment
  systems to reduce  discharge of  liquid effluents,  which are regulated by a
  permit under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System.

      Approximately  80,000 people live within 3 miles of the facility.
  Downtown  Denver is approximately 16 miles southeast of the facility, while the
  cities of Golden and Boulder are approximately  8  miles south and north,
  respectively,  of the the facility.

      Status (July 1985);  USDOE continues to conduct remedial work by  removing
   "hot  spots"  of contamination.  A recent court settlement requires USDOE to
  conduct remedial activities on  private land east  of the plant as a condition
  of its sale  to local governments.  USDOE  has begun to address the site through
   its internal cleanup program.  The installation assessment phase is underway.

      Status (August 1989); On July 31, 1986,  EPA,  USDOE,  and the  Colorado
  Department of Health (CDH)  entered into a Federal Facility Compliance
  Agreement (FFCA).   The FFCA defined roles and set schedules for  investigation
  and cleanup  of past disposal problems and addressed hazardous and mixed waste
  compliance issues.   Under the FFCA,  USDOE started a remedial
   investigation/feasibility study (RI/FS),  identifying  166 on-site and off-site


  U.S. Environmental Protection Agency/Remedial Response Program

-------
disposal/contamination areas and grouping them into 107 high-, medium-,  and
low-priority areas.

    EPA and CDH have been reviewing various draft RI/FS documents and Interim
Response Action (IRA) proposals.  These review activities have focused on the
high (Hillside 881) and medium  (903 Pad, East  Trenches, Mound) priority
areas.  Hillside 881 is located near the Woman Creek drainage which
eventually discharges into Standly lake, a major drinking water supply
reservoir for several Denver suburbs.  In September 1988, USDOE published a
report titled Environmental Survey Preliminary Report of  the Defense
Production Facilities, identifying Hillside 881  as  the department's most
significant potential risk to populations.  This preliminary finding will be
reassessed during  implementation of USDOE's 5-year  Environmental Restoration
Plan.

    Other surface  drainage concerns at Rocky Flats  include surface and
subsurface migration through North and South Walnut Creek which eventually
discharges to Great Western Reservoir, a major drinking water source for the
city of Broomfield. In July 1989, Broomfield  constructed a ditch to divert
North and South Walnut Creek around the Great  Western Reservoir because  of
concern that past  spills and other releases of contaminants to the creek may
continue.

     On May 25,  1989, EPA, CDH,  and USDOE started negotiations on an
 Interagency Agreement (IAG) pursuant to CERdA Section 120.   EPA anticipates
 that the IAG will  replace the  1986 FFCA and will establish goals for
 investigation and cleanup activities at Rocky  Flats.  EPA also anticipates
 using the IAG process to define specific roles for  EPA, CEH,  and USDOE, make
 decisions regarding potential  IRAs, group areas  into operable units, and
 address any areas discovered during the studies.  Negotiations on the IAG are
 currently scheduled to conclude in September 1989.

     USDOE and the Office of Management and Budget have estimate that
 addressing the 166 contaminated areas  identified thus far will take at least
 30 years, with projected costs between $400 million to $2 billion.

                                Barkhamsted,  Connecticut

         Conditions at listing (June 1988);  Thej Barkhamsted-New Hartford
  Landfill encompassess 102.5 acres in a rural/residential area of Barkhamsted,
  Litchfield County, Connecticut.   Since 1974,  it has been owned and operated by
  Regional Refuse Disposal District One. This unlined municipal landfill  is near
  the Barkhamsted and New Hartford  town line.   An unnamed brook borders the site
  to the southwest and north and  flows through a wetland to the Farmington River
  1.3 stream miles from where sludge was deposited on the site.

         In December 1983, the landfill received a Solid Waste Disposal Facility
  Permit from the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection (CT DEP).
  The landfill accepts municipal  and industrial wastes,  including oily metal
  grindings sludge containing cacJmium, chromium, copper, lead, nickel,  zinc,
  and manganese.  A barrel-crushing operation also is on-site to reclaim
  metals.

         In 1983, leaking drums containing hazardous solvents were observed on-
  site  during a CT DEP inspection.   Tests conducted in 1986-87 by the
  landfill's consultant indicate  volatile organic compounds,  including  xylene,
  toluene, 1,1-dichloroethane, 4-methyl-2-pentanone,  and vinyl chloride, are
  present  in shallow and deep wells on-site.  Many private wells and a
  municipal supply well for New Hartford are within 3 miles of the site.   The
  wells serve an  estimated  4,800  people.  The closest private well is 770  feet
  southeast of a  contaminated well.  The Farmington Valley Health District shut
  down  the on-site well serving the landfill office due to volatile organic
  contamination.

         The site is not completely fenced,  making it possible for people  and
  animals  to come into direct contact with hazardous  substances.

         In April 1988, EPA emergency staff sampled the landfill and determined
  that no removal action was warranted at that time.

                               Durham, Connecticut

      Conditions at listing  (June 1988): The Durham Meadows Site is in the
  southern Connecticut town of Durham in Middlesex County.   Investigation of the
  site centers around Merriam Manufacturing  Co.,  which occupies 5-acres on Main
  Street in Durham.  The company was established  in 1851 and manufactures metal
  products such as filing equipment, steel security-bank and safe deposit boxes,
  tool boxes,  and fishing tackle boxes.  The manufacturing process generates
  waste water containing dissolved organic solvents, including
  trichloroethylene, methylene chloride, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, and 1,1,2,2-
  tetrachloroethylene, as well as paint waste.

      The company disposed of waste  water and sludges  on its property in two
  unlined and undiked lagoons constructed in 1973.   Prior to 1973,  waste
  apparently was disposed of in the  septic system,  according to the Connecticut
  Department of Environmental Protection  (CT DEP).   In another area,  paint
  wastes and degreasing solvents were stored in 55-gallon drums on the ground.
  Some were in poor condition or leaking during a CT DEP inspection in 1981.
  The company stopped using  the lagoons in 1982 and removed the drums in 1983.

      In 1982, CT DEP detected volatile organic solvents, including
  trichloroethylene,  1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethylene,  1,1,1-trichloroethane,  and
  methylene chloride  in private wells in the Durham area.   Such wells are the
  sole  source of drinking water for  the 5,600 residents of  Durham.  CT DEP
  ordered Merriam Manufacturing to supply bottled water to  residents  in the
  vicinity of the  site.  Approximately 60 residents have been using bottled
  water since 1983.

      On January 4, 1983,  following  an inspection by EPA and CT DEP,  EPA
   issued an Administrative Compliance Order  and Assessment  of Penalties under
   Section 3008  of  the Resource Conservation  and Recovery Act (RCRA).   The action
   called for Merriam Manufacturing to correct several  violations of State
   Hazardous Waste  Management Regulations.  In response,  the company removed
   drums containing hazardous waste to a  facility  regulated  under RCRA Subtitle
   C.

       The site is  less than 0.5 mile from the Coginchaug River,  which
   eventually drains into the Connecticut River.  A fresh water wetland is
   within 1,500 feet of the site.

       EPA is searching for other possible sources of contamination.

       Status (August 1989)i  EPA emergency staff is sampling the site  to
   determine if a removal action is warranted at this time.

      Conditions at listing  (June  1988);  Gallup?s Quarry is a former gravel
  mining operation in a rural area on Tarbox Road 1 mile south of Plainfield's
  business district in Windham  County, Connecticut.  During 1974-77, the
  privately owned 22-acre site  accepted chemical waste without a permit.
  According to the Connecticut  Department of Environmental Protection  (CT DEP),
  methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone,  toluene, tetrachloroethylene,
  trichloroethylene, and 1,1,1-trichloroethane were disposed on-site in drums
  and as free liquids.  Several of these  volatile organic chemicals, as well as
  copper, nickel, and chromium, have been detected in on-site monitoring wells
  by CT DEP  (1980-81) and EPA (1986).

      A community well is 4,000 feet and  a private well 1,160 feet from the
  site.  An estimated 6,500 people rely on wells within 3 miles of the site as
  their sole source of drinking water.

      Mill Brook and associated wetlands  are 500 feet downslcpe of the site.
  local surface  waters are vised for recreational activities.

      The site is unfenced, making it possible  for people and animals to come
  into direct contact with hazardous substances.

      In 1978, the site was evaluated and drums and contaminated soil removed
  under the  direction of CT DEP and the State police.   The owner agreed to
  reimburse  the  State up to $750,000 for  the removal operation at Gallup's
  Quarry and at  another property he owned. However,  limited  soil analyses
  conducted  by CT DEP in 1981 indicate that soil contaminated with ketone and
  hydrocarbons remains on-site.

      Status (August  1989); In  January 1989,  EPA sampled  private  drinking water
  wells and found no contamination.  Subsequent review by the Agency for Toxic
  Substances and Disease Registry  confirmed EPA findings.   EPA emergency staff,
  therefore, has determined that no removal action is  warranted at this time.

                               Vernon, Connecticut

      Conditions at listing  (June 1988);  Precision Plating Corp. has chrome-
  plated various metal parts and  fixtures on a 3-acre site in Vernon, Tolland
  County, Connecticut, since 1970.   The process  includes alkaline cleaning,
  chemical etching, chrome plating,  rinsing,  buffing, and polishing.  Wastes
  generated during this process include rinse waters containing heavy metals,
  batch wastes of alkaline cleaner,  and spent plating and etching acids.  Prior
  to 1983, according to the  company, rinse waters were discharged without a
  permit to a storm drain outside its  building.  Process plating acids and chrome
  plating wastes were stored on the  ground in drums and a 500-gallon tank.

      In May 1979, the City  of Vernon's Health Department found the well
  serving Hillside Industrial  Park,  in which Precision Plating is located,
  contaminated with hexavalent and trivalent chromium.   The rupturing of drums
  and the tank by a snow plow was the  cause  of the contamination, according to
  the Health Department and  the Connecticut  Department of Environmental
  Protection  (CT  DEP).

      In July 1979, CT DEP issued orders  to  the  owners of Hillside Industrial
  Park  and  Precision  Plating to abate  pollution  of the waters of the State.
  Precision Plating complied with the  order.   In November 1979,  the company
  installed five  shallow monitoring  wells on-site,  sampled surface water,  and
  removed 20 cubic yards of  contaminated  soil.  The company,  and later EPA,
  confirmed that  ground water was contaminated with hexavalent and trivalent
  chromium.  An estimated 10,800  people obtain drinking water from public  and
  private wells within 3 miles of the  site.

      Surface waters  in the  area  are used for recreational fishing,   The site
   is within 1 mile of a fresh water  wetland.

      The site is unfenced,  making it  possible for people and animals to come

       In February 1986, CT DEP issued  orders requiring Precision Plating to
   abate pollution and to provide  drinking water  to Hi^i Manor Mobile Home  Park,
   as well as Hillside Industrial  Park. In March 1986,  CT DEP issued the same
   orders to Hillside Industrial Park.  Both  companies are negotiating a Consent
   Order with the State.

       Status (August 1989);  Under the State  orders, Precision Plating and
   Hillside Industrial Park are providing  alternate drinking water supplies.

                                  Dover,  Delaware

      Conditions at listing  (January 1987); Dover Gas Light Co. operated a coal
  gasification plant on a 0.9-acre site  in Dover, Kent County, Delaware from
  1859 to 1948.  The plant processed coal to produce a gas that was piped  to
  street lamps in Dover.  When  the plant closed,  the structures, except for a
  brick garage, were demolished.  Steel  and iron scrap were removed; all other
  materials, including coal  oil,  coal  tar,  coke,  and an unknown acid, are
  believed to have been buried  on the  site.

      In 1984, during geotechnical studies of the property prior to
  construction of the new Kent  County  Family Courthouse,  remains of this coal
  gasification plant were discovered buried on-site.   The buried materials
  include coal tar residues  containing hazardous  substances.

      The Delaware Department of  Natural Resources and Environmental Control
   (DNREC) installed and sampled 16 monitoring wells to determine the nature and
  extent of  contamination.   The results  show that hazardous substances buried
  on-site have been released to ground water.   These  substances include benzene,
  toluene, xylene, lead, trans-l,2-dichloroethylene,  and polynuclear aromatic
  hydrocarbon compounds, among  them  naphthalene,  fluoranthene,  and pyrene.

      DNREC  determined that  these substances are  in ground water at  depths  of
  up  to 53 feet  and a horizontal  distance of at least 300 feet southeast of the
   site.  The closest supply  well, 1,000  feet southwest of the site,  draws on the
   Cheswold aquifer.  It is part of Dover's municipal  water system.  An estimated
   45,000 people  are served by public and private  wells within 3 miles of the
   site.  Of  Dover's 14 municipal  supply  wells,  7  are  within 1 mile of the site.

       Status (August  1989);  EPA plans  to start conducting a remedial
   investigation/feasibility  study to determine the type and extent of
   contamination at the site  and identify alternatives for remedial action.

                                 Laurel, Delaware

      Conditions at listing  (June 1988):  Sussex]County landfill #5 operated on a
  37.5-acre site in a sparsely populated fanning  area between County Road 494
  and Route 24 in Laurel, Sussex County,  Delaware,  from May 1970 through April
  1979.

      Die unpermitted landfill  accepted municipal wastes and, according to  a
  1978 survey of waste disposal sites by the U.S. Congress (the "Ekhardt
  Report"), an unknown quantity of various volatile organic coirpounds.

      The landfill overlies  the Columbia Formation, which is connected to and
  recharges the Manokin Aquifer.  Together,  the two provide drinking water to
  people within  3 miles of the  site.  Wastes were deposited below the water
  table, making  ground water of the  Columbia Formation and Manokin Aquifer
  highly susceptible to contamination from the landfill.   In 1986,  EPA detected
  benzene, vinyl chloride, chlorobenzene, ethylbenzene, and trans-1,2-
  dichloroethylene in five on-site monitoring wells.  A private well is 1,000
  feet from the  site.  Public and private wells within 3 miles of the site
  provide drinking water  to  an  estimated 5,700 people and irrigate 5,100 acres
  of cropland.

       Status (August  1989);  EPA is conducting a search to identify parties
  potentially responsible for wastes associated with the site.  EPA plans to
  soon begin a remedial  investigation/feasibility study to determine the type
  and extent of contamination at the site and identify alternatives for remedial
  action.

                                Pensacola, Florida

      Conditions at listing  (June 1988):  Agrico/ Chemical Co. covers
  approximately 6 acres in Pensacola,  Escairibia County, Florida, approximately
  2 miles southwest of Pensacola  Municipal Airport.   The L & N Railway Yard lies
  directly to the west and an abandoned quarry lies to the north.  Activity at
  this plant began in 1889 by a company that produced sulfuric acid from iron
  pyrite.   About 1920, Agrico Chemical Co.  began producing fertilizer from
  phosphate rock.  In 1959, Agrico  stopped production, tore down the buildings,
  and sold the land.  The site  now  consists of foundations of five buildings,
  including a fertilizer factory, a storage and shipping warehouse, and a plant
  where phosphate was processed to  produce fluorine.  North and east of the
  foundations lie four ponds  that were used to store waste liquid from the
  manufacture of fertilizer.  The capacity of the ponds exceeds 36,000 cubic
  yards.

      In 1958, a municipal water  well 1.25 miles east-southeast of the site was
  closed due to  high acidity and  fluoride concentrations.

      In 1983, EPA detected  lead, sulfuric acid,  and fluorides in water from
  the ponds.  The lead may be the result  of pipe and tank corrosion from
  sulfuric acid.

      The primary aquifer underlying the  site is the Sand and Gravel Aquifer,  a
  280-foot layer of poorly sorted,  coarse-grained quartz sand.  Horizontal and
  vertical permeabilities in this type of formation  are generally very high,
  which facilitates the movement  of contaminants into ground water,  as well  as
  the movement of contaminated  ground water.   Since  ground water  flows toward
  the east-southeast, this plume  of contaminated ground water could migrate  into
   Bayou Texar or Pensacola Bay.

       The Sand and Gravel Aquifer,  which  serves 13 Escambia  County Utilities
  Authority wells within 3 miles  of the site,  is the primary source of drinking
  water for an estimated 114,000  people.

       Status (August 1989);  EPA is  investigating the possibility that
   potentially responsible parties will conduct a remedial
   investigation/feasibility  study to determine the type and  extent of
   contamination at the site  and identify  alternatives for  remedial action.

                              Pompano Beach, Florida

      Conditions at listing  (June 1988):  Chemform,  Inc., formerly conducted
  contract metal-working operations on a  4-acre site at 1410 S.W. 8th Street in
  an industrial area of Pompano Beach in  northeastern Broward County, Florida.
  IXiring approximately 1962-85, the facility manufactured jet engine parts  in a
  standard machine shop.  Subsequently, operations included manufacturing of a
  high-tech drilling machine involving use of  acids.   In 1977, an inspector from
  the Broward County Pollution  Control Board found Chemform, Inc., in violation
  of county regulations for  discharge of  industrial wastes (oily liquid and
  sludge) onto the ground.

      Chemform,  Inc., is adjacent to  Wilson  Concepts  of Florida, Inc.,  which
  was also proposed for the  NPL in June 1988.

      In August  1985, FJ?A collected samples  of ground water, surface soils,
  and subsurface soils.  High concentrations of cyanide, mercury, chromium, and
  nickel were found in soil  and high  concentrations of chromium and nickel in
  ground water.   In July 1986,  EPA found  chromium,  copper,  and nickel in ground
  water and chromium, copper, nickel, and lead in on-site surface soil.

      The Biscayne Aquifer,  the primary aquifer underlying the site,  supplies
  all municipal  water in Broward County.   Under the Safe Drinking Water Act, EPA
  has designated the  Biscayne Aquifer as  a sole source of drinking water in
  Broward and other counties in south Florida.  At the site, a layer of quartz
  sand  overlies  the limestone of the  aquifer;  numerous cavities in the  limestone
  result in high horizontal  and vertical  permeabilities, which facilitate
  movement of contaminants into ground water as well  as movement of contaminated
  ground water.   At least four municipal  well  fields  are located at least
  partially within 3  miles of the site:  the City of  Pompano Beach's  Palm-Aire
  and Eastern Pompano Beach Well  Fields,  serving approximately 80,000 people;
  and the Broward County District IB and  District 1C  Well Fields (used only
  during dry periods of the year),  serving approximately 13,000 people.

      Status (August 1989):  EPA is  investigating the  possibility that several
  potentially responsible parties will conduct a remedial
   investigation/feasibility study to determine the type and extent of
   contamination at the site and identify  alternatives for remedial  action.

                                 Orlando, Florida

     rfrTTtitiifns at listing  (October 1984): Ine City Industries, Inc., Site
  covers l acre in Orlando, Orange County, Florida.  From 1971 to mid-August
  1983, the company operated  a recycling and transferring facility on the  site,
  handling a wide variety of  chlorinated and nonchlorinated organic solvents,
  paint/varnish wastes, acid  and  alkaline plating wastes, PCBs, and waste  ink.
  According to EPA tests, ground  water, soils, and sediments are contaminated
  with heavy metals and volatile  organic compounds.

     One company  abandoned the operation in  mid-1983, informing the State
  that it lacked  resources to continue operations and leaving approximately
  1,200 drums and 12,000  gallons  of unknown  liquids and sludges in large tanks.
  In August and September 1983, the state funded a cleanup of the site; 41 tons
  of drums were crushed and removed, and 65  truck and tanker loads of
  contaminants were disposed  of properly.  The cost was $950,000.

     In February 1984, EPA issued an Administrative Order under CERCLA
  Section 106(a)  requiring City Industries to clean sludge from holding tanks,
  remove contaminated soils,  and  treat contaminated ground water.   The company
  did not comply.  In March through May 1984, using about $500,000 of CERLCA
  emergency funds, EPA emptied, cut open, and cleaned the tanks, thus removing
  the threat of  explosion and further soil contamination.   EPA's emergency
  response team used  an incineration device  to treat about 1,700 tons of
  contaminated soil.  The treated soil remains on the site.

     In February 1984, the State  filed a civil complaint against the
  landowner, operator, and four companies associated with the operator.  On
  April 24, 1984, the State held  a meeting attended by generators potentially
  responsible for wastes  associated with the site.

     Ine facility received Interim status under  Subtitle C of the Resource
  Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)  when  the  company filed Part A of a permit
  application.   One company filed Part B, but EPA denied the application twice
  for a nunber of reasons, including the fact that  the company did not meet RCRA
  financial guarantee and waste analysis requirements.  One company also failed
  to submit a closure plan.   EPA  terminated  Interim status on July 27, 1983.

     status  (June 1987);  Ine  generators formed a steering comnittee
  comprising  approximately 200 industries.  Ine  comnittee has worked with the
  State to  investigate ground water contamination.

     In August  1986,  EPA  issued Demand Letters to approximately 250
  potentially responsible parties to recover Federal money spent for the 1984
  emergency action.

     status (June 1988):  EPA  is proposing to place  this previously proposed
  RCRA site on the m, because it has lost Interim  Status  (and hence authority
  to operate) and has a history of  unwillingness to take corrective action.   The
  owner/operator has  failed to sutmit an acceptable Part B permit application
  and to comply with  Federal  and  State administrative orders.  He has abandoned
  the site and stated that he is  financially unable to  clean up the site.

     status (August 1989); EPA has  placed the site  on the NPt.

     One State has completed  a remedial investigation of the site.   One
  generators' steering  comnittee  submitted the feasibility study in December
   1988 and revised  it in  June 1989.   EPA and the State  are now reviewing the
   revised plan.

      EPA has recovered  most of the 1984 emergency action costs from the
   responsible parties.

                                 Hialeah, Florida

      Conditions at listing  (June 1988); Standard Auto Bumper Corp. has
  electroplated automobile bumpers,  furniture, and other metal objects with
  chrome on a 0.8-acre site at  2500 West 3rd Court, Hialeah,  Florida, since
  1959.  The site is in an urban area in northwest Bade County north of Miami
  International Airport.

      Prior to 1970, waste water from the electroplating and stripping
  process was discharged into a ditch between  the process building and railroad
  tracks. It was allowed to drain to the north, eventually percolating into the
  ground. In 1972, the company  began treating  the plating waste prior to
  discharging it into a septic  tank/percolator pit and drain field system.
  Since 1979, treated waste water has been discharged into the Hialeah sewer
  system.  The metal-containing sludge  from  the treatment is transported to an
  EPA-regulated hazardous waste facility.  Currently,  approximately 2,000-3,000
  gallons per day of waste water are sent to a concrete diked area,  where it is
  treated to convert hexavalent chromium to  the less toxic trivalent state.

       In August 1985, EPA detected cadmium,  chromium,  lead, and copper in
  surface soil, subsurface soil, and ground  water on the site.   The most
  extensive contamination was near the  drainage pathway.   In  March 1987,  EPA
  found chromium, nickel, and copper in surface soil,  subsurface soil,  and
  shallow ground water  in the drainage  pathway area.

       The site is in the recharge zone  of the  Biscayne Aquifer,  which EPA has
  designated as a sole  source aquifer under  the Safe Drinking Water Act.   The
  aquifer supplies  drinking water for all of Dade County.   Four municipal well
  fields - the Upper  and lower  Miami Springs,  the Hialeah,  and  the John E.
  Preston - that  supply drinking water  to 750,000 people are  within 3 miles  of
  the site.  One  well is within 4,200 feet of  the site.  Wells  in the
  contaminated area have been taken  out of service.

       Status (August  1989);  Under a  CERCLA Administrative Order issued  in May
   1989, Standard  Auto Bumper is removing contaminated soil from the site  and
  transporting it to  an EPA-regulated facility.

       EPA is investigating the  possibility that potentially responsible
   parties will conduct a  remedial investigation/feasibility study to determine
   the type and extent of  contamination  at the  site and identify alternatives for
   remedial action.

                                 Brandon, Florida

      Conditions at listing  (June 1986):  The Sydney Mine Sludge Ponds cover
  2.1 acres in Brandon, Hillsborough County,  Florida.  The ponds are part of an
  old 1,700-acre phosphate strip  mine and were used for storing and dewatering
  waste clays and tailings from phosphate ore processing.  The Hillsborough
  County Division of Public Utilities leases the land from American Cyanamid Co.
  and used two on-site ponds  from 1974 to 1982.   The larger pond (1.5 acres)
  received primarily septic sludge  and the smaller pond (0.6 acre)  received the
  grease trappings from commercial  restaurants,  industrial cutting oil, and
  other types of waste oil.   The  total volume of wastes in both pits is over
  6,000 cubic yards.

      Tests conducted by EPA  in 1979 found arsenic and lead in the septic
  sludge pond and 1,1,1-trichloroethane  and  toluene in the oil pond.   EPA also
  detected 1,1-dichloroethane,  1,1-dichloroethylene, toluene,  and benzene in
  shallow ground water.. Over 4,000 persons  draw water from wells within 3 miles
  of the site.

      Turkey Creek is contaminated  with  cadmium,  chromium,  and lead, according
  to EPA.  The  creek is approximately 0.5 mile east of the site.

      In response to a closure  permit issued by the State,  the county has
  constructed an underground slurry wall around the ponds to prevent
  contaminants  from escaping and  ground  water from entering.   Also, the county
  is pumping out the contaminated ground water within the wall, treating it, and
  spraying the  treated water onto the ground.   Incineration of sludges  in the
  pond  is scheduled to begin shortly.

      Status  (August  1989); To  date, over 41 million gallons of ground water
  have  been treated and over 10,000 cubic yards of contaminated materials have
  been  excavated and  incinerated.  Ground water treatment continues.  The county
  has also  skimmed about  3,200  gallons of floating oil from the ponds.

      Additional sampling in 1986 found  several more areas  of  contaminated
  soil. As a result, the county  treated about 15,000  cubic yards of soil  by on-
  site  air  drying and biological  treatment.   A group of generators who sent
  wastes to the site  is conducting  operation and maintenance activities at the
  site.

      EPA is preparing  a  plan for additional  remedial  action at the site.

                             Fort Lauderdale, Florida

      Conditions at listing  (June 1988): Hie Wingate Road Municipal Incinerator
  Dump covers 61 acres in Fort Lauderdale, Broward Count/, Florida.  The site
  includes an incinerator, offices,  and an approximately 40-acre disposal area,
  all owned and operated by the City of Fort Lauderdale.  Land use in the area
  is a combination of residential, commercial, and industrial.

      The incinerator and disposal areas were used during 1955-78.   Residential
  waste, commercial waste, and incinerator residue were disposed at the dump.
  According to a resident of the  area,  hazardous waste may also have been
  dumped.  In December 1981, the  resident  reported to the Broward County Health
  Department that 100 steel drums had been buried during 1955-58 north of the
  incinerator down a dirt road.

      The facility received 480 tons of waste a  day and operated 7 days a week.
  It pumped cooling water into the incinerator from on-site wells and then
  discharged it  into an unlined lagoon, possibly Lake Stupid in the southeast
  corner of the  facility.  Ash residues mixed with sludge material  from the
  lagoon were spread onto the ground in the  disposal area.  The area is
  approximately  30 feet above ground, and  the terrain is hilly and partially
  overgrown with brush and small  trees. Rock Pit Lake is downslope of the
  northeast section of the disposal  area.

      Tests conducted in 1985 by  EPA detected pesticides (DDT,  aldrin,
  chlordane, and dieldrin) in surface composite  soil and subsurface soil from
  the dump area. Elevated pesticide  concentrations were also reported in
  sediments from Rock Pit Lake, which is used for recreational activities.   The
  lake intersects the Biscayne Aquifer, which EPA has designated as a sole
  source aquifer under the Safe Drinking Water Act.  Thus, there is a threat of
  contaminants entering the  aquifer. An estimated 353,000 people draw drinking
  water from four municipal  well  fields within 3 miles of the site:  the
  lauderhill Municipal Water Supply  Well Field,  the Broward County  District  1A
  Well Field,  the Prospect Well Field,  and the Dixie Well Field.  There is no
  unthreatened alternative source for the  lauderhill field.

       The site is only partially fenced, making  it possible for people and
   animals to come into direct contact with hazardous substances.  Approximately
   44,000 people live within 1 mile of the  site.

       Status (August 1989);  EPA is conducting a  search to identify  parties
   potentially responsible for wastes associated  with the site.

       The State is reviewing Fort Lauderdale's plan for closing the dump under

                                 Albany,  Georgia

      Oonditions at listing  (June  1988);  Firestone Tire & Rubber Co. has
  manufactured tires on a 329.2-acre site in  Albany, Dougherty County, Georgia,
  since 1968.  Until 1980, drums of waste cement were stored on the ground in an
  area of less than 1 acre.  In another area, wastes were buried in a pit  during
  fire-training exercises.

      In 1986, a consultant to  the company detected benzene, 1,1-dichloro
  ethylene, toluene, 1,1-dichloroethane,  1,1,1-trichloroethane, and zinc in on-
  site wells.  An estimated 400 people obtain drinking water from private wells
  within 3 miles of the site, and  1,000 acres of cropland are irrigated with
  well water.

      This facility obtained Interim Status under Subtitle C of the Resource
  Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)  when it filed a Notification of Hazardous
  Waste Activity and Part A of  a permit application to treat, store, or dispose
  of hazardous waste.  Later, it withdrew its Part A and converted to generator-

 Site covers 3 acres at the junction of Golden Road and  the Georgia Southern
 and Florida Baiirnad line in Tifton, Tift County,  Georgia.  It  has been the
 location of an agricultural chemical formulation plant  since 1950,  when it was
 purchased by Chevron Chemical Co.  At first, Chevron blended dry  powders on-
 site.  Sometime during 1963-64, the company constructed a building to
 formulate liquids.  A drum storage facility, three 10,000-gallon  solvent
 tanks, one 12,000-gallon toxaphene tank, and a waste water pond were also
 added during Chevron's ownership.  Chevron sold the property in 1970,  after
 which Tifton Chemical Co. (1970-77), Tifchem Products,  Inc. (1977-78), and
 Marzone, Inc. (1979-82) continued to formulate agricultural chemicals on the
 site.  Kbva Fertilizer, Inc., purchased the property through foreclosure in
  1983.  The facility is now owned by Milan, Inc.  Ray Taylor Plant Co.
  operates a distribution center on the site.

      Georgia Environmental Protection Division records indicate problems  at
  the site since 1973.  In March 1981, Marzone excavated the pond and filled it
  in.  In March 1984, Kova Fertilizer removed 49 drums of pesticide wastes.  All
  wastes were sent to a hazardous waste facility regulated under Subtitle  C of
  the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act  (RCRA).

       In May 1984, EPA and the Georgia Environmental Protection Division
 •inspected the site.  Analyses conducted in September 1984 indicated that
  pesticides, including toxaphene, lindane, methyl parathion, atrazine, and
  endrin, were present in on-site soil and ground water.  In October  1984,
  using CERCXA emergency funds, EPA removed and disposed stored wastes,
  decontaminated buildings and equipment, excavated contaminated surface soils,
  drained water and accumulated sediments in a truck-loading area near the
  railroad tracks,  and transported 1,700 tons of waste materials to a RORA-
  regulated facility.  Prior to the removal action of October 1984,  EPA sent
  Notice letters to known potentially responsible parties - including Chevron,
  Tifton Chemical Co., Tifchem Products, Inc., and Kova Fertilizer,  Inc. -
  informing them of proposed cleanup actions under CERdA. Chevron responded to
  the letter.  Under a Consent Agreement with EPA signed in April 1985, Chevron
  undertook cleanup actions, including excavating the waste water lagoon, a
  drainage ditch, and a railroad ditch; filling them in; and transporting the
  contaminated soil to  a RCRA-regulated facility.

       Within 3 miles of the site are 28 private wells tapping the shallow,
  contaminated aquifer.  The wells are the sole source of local drinking water.

       This facility is  being proposed for the NFL because it is classified as a
   "non or late-filer" under R3A.  Although the facility was treating, storing,
   or disposing of hazardous waste after November 19, 1980, it did not file a
   Part A permit application by that date as required and has little or no
   history of compliance with RCRA Subtitle C.

       Status (Amust 1989); EPA received no comments on this site and so has
   placed it on the NPL.

       EPA's preliminary plan for Fiscal Year  1990 includes a remedial

  required five additional monitoring wells  to be installed to help determine
  the extent of contamination.

      Cedar Rapids municipal wells serving nearly 10,000  people are within
  3 miles of the  site.

      The facility is being proposed  for the NPL because  it is classified as a
  "protective filer" under Subtitle C of the Resource Conservation  and  Recovery
  Act and so is not subject to Subtitle C  corrective action authorities.

      Status (December 1988); EPA's preliminary plan for  Fiscal Year 1989
  includes a remedial investigation/feasibility study (RI/FS)  to determine the
  type  and extent of contamination at the  site and identify alternatives  for
  remedial action.

      Status (August  1989);  EPA received no  comments on this site and so has
  placed it on the NPL.

      The State  is investigating the  possibility  that Electro-Coatings, Inc.,
  will  conduct the RI/FS with State and EPA  oversight.

                               Soda Springs,  Idaho

      Conditions at listing  (May 1989); Kerr-Mcpee Chemical Corp. has produced
  vanadium pentoxide in southeastern Idaho 1  mile north of Soda Springs, Caribou
  County,  since 1963.  The 158-acre site  is in a broad,  flat valley near the
  western base of the Aspen Range.  Significant  agricultural crops in the area
  include wheat and hay.  A number of  other large industrial complexes are in
  the valley,  including Monsanto Chemical Co., directly across State Highway 34
  from Kerr-McGee.  Monsanto  supplies  by-product ferrous-phosphate solids, which
  Kerr-MoGee processes into vanadium pentoxide.   The Monsanto plant was also
  proposed for the NPL in May 1989.

      Kerr-MaGee's plant generates a number of liquid wastes and stores them in
  on-site ponds.  The two largest ponds hold  over 12,000 cubic yards of waste.

      On-site monitoring wells and the ponds  contain vanadium,  arsenic,  copper,
  and silver, according to tests conducted as part of an EPA site inspection in
  the summer of 1987.  Within 3 miles  of  the  site are public springs and private
  wells that provide drinking water to over 3,000 people and a private well that
  irrigates 165 acres.  The plant receives drinking water from an on-site well
  375 feet from a contaminated well.   No  unthreatened alternate source of water
  is available.

                          East  Cape Girardeau,  Illinois

      Conditions at listing  (June 1988): The Ilada Energy Co. Site covers 20.3-
  acres in East Cape Girardeau, Alexander County,  Illinois.  In 1942, the
  Federal Government built a bulk fuel  oil  storage/transfer terminal on the
  site, which had access to the Mississippi River.   The 17 tanks on-site hold in
  excess of 11 million gallons.  The Government used the terminal until the
  early or mid-1950s, when it was deeded back to the original land owner.

      IXiring 1981-83, Ilada Energy Co.  operated the tank farm as a waste oil
  reclamation facility.  The process consisted  of  removing bottom sediment and
  water from the waste oil and  blending for desired heat content.

      An inspection conducted by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency
  (IEPA) during 1982 found that the company was improperly storing,  handling,
  mixing, and disposing waste oils contaminated with PCBs.   The PCB-laden waste
  oil was being burned in an on-site boiler.  Of the 17 tanks,  11 contained oil
  contaminated with chlorinated organic solvents, metals,  and constituents of
  PCBs.  Spills and leakage of  oily material were observed under the valves of
  the tanks and in the designated loading and unloading areas.

      In January  1983, EPA filed a complaint against the company for PCB
  violations under the Toxic Substances Control Act.  The company signed a
  Consent Decree  to clean up the site but abandoned the site before taking any
  action.  Early  in 1986, IEPA  installed six monitoring wells on the site;
  subsequent analyses detected  arsenic  in two of the wells.  An estimated 500
  people obtain drinking water  from wells within 3 miles of the site.

       The facility is within the floodplain of  the Mississippi River.  The area
  is relatively flat, with the  site at  a surface elevation of about 334 feet
  above sea  level.  Ground water flows  south-southwest toward the Mississippi
  River.  The facility is protected from the Mississippi River by a levee that
  borders the southern edge of  the site.  The surrounding area  is sparsely
  populated  by farms and cultivated fields.

       This facility is being proposed for the NPL because it is classified as a
  "nan or late-filer" under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA).
  Although the facility was treating, storing,  or disposing hazardous waste
  after November 19, 1980, it did not file  a Part A permit application by that
  date as required and has little or no history of compliance with RCRA
  Subtitle C.

       Status (August 1989); EPA received no comments on the site and so has
  placed it  on the NPL.

                              LENZ OIL SERVICE, INC.
                                 Lemont, Illinois

      Conditions at listing  (June 1988); Lenz Oil Service, Inc., operated an
  oil and solvent storage/transfer facility on a 2.6-acre site at Route 83 and
  Jeans Road in Cook County, Illinois,  under  several owners for over 20 years.
  In 1981, the conpany received a permit from the Illinois Environmental
  Protection Agency (IEPA) to accept hazardous waste.

      Early in 1985, three surface impoundments were constructed and used to
  store hazardous waste without a permit from IEPA.   They were constructed of
  very porous and permeable  cinder.  Also  on  the site were five aboveground  and
  eight semiburied storage tanks, as well  as  drums of waste.

      On May 2,  1985, IEPA referred  a  lawsuit to the Illinois Attorney General
  alleging mismanagement of  hazardous  waste.   On June 24,  1985,  the DuPage
  County Circuit Court ordered  Lenz  to start  immediate cleanup actions, file a
  cleanup plan for the site, and file  a closure and compliance plan.

      Lenz filed two  cleanup plans that were  generally deemed adequate.  The
  owner took some action before stopping operations in November 1985.   In April
  1986, he filed for  bankruptcy under  Chapter 7 of the Federal bankruptcy code.

      In mid-1986, IEPA undertook a  three-phase cleanup.   In  Phase  I,  IEPA
  inventoried and sampled all wastes.   Drummed wastes were predominately oils,
  solvents,  and  tar waste.   The tanks  contained mostly water  contaminated with
  oils  and solvents.

      Soil underlying the facility is  contaminated to a depth of 9  to  10 feet
  with high levels of organic compounds, including:  1,1-dichloroethane; 1,2-
  dichloroethylene;  1,1,1-trichloroethane; toluene;  ethylbenzene; and  xylene.
  Ground water,  both underlying and  surrounding the facility,  is also
  contaminated with organics: 1,2-dichloroethane; 1,1,1-trichloroethane;  1,2-
  dichloroethylene;  toluene; 2-butanone; and  xylenes.  Three  on-site and seven
  off-site monitoring wells have been  installed.   Nearby private wells are also
  contaminated,  forcing the owners to  buy  bottled water.   A sampling plan is
  being developed to better define the extent of ground water contamination.

       Phase II of lEPA's cleanup calls for treatment of approximately  7,000
  tons of soils and sludges, 250,000 gallons  of liquids, and  200 drums of liquid
   and semisolid waste by on-site incineration.  Phase III  calls  for capping the
   site with an impermeable layer of  clay and  cleaning up ground  water.

       The facility acquired Interim Status under Subtitle  C of the  Resource
   Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) when the owner filed a Notification of
   Hazardous Waste Activity and Part A of a permit application.   This site is
   being proposed for the NPl because it satisfies a component of EPA's NPL/RCRA
   policy: the owner has demonstrated inability to finance  appropriate  remedial
   action by invoking bankruptcy laws.

       Status (August 1989): Phase II has been completed and the  site capped and
   seeded.  IEPA is investigating the possibility that Lenz will  conduct a
   remedial investigation/feasibility study to determine the type and extent of
   contamination at the site and identify alternatives for  remedial  action.

                               Woodstock,  Illinois

      Conditions at listing  (June 1988); Woodstock Municipal Landfill covers 40
  to 50 acres in Woodstock, McHenry county, Illinois. Ihe site was an open
  dump prior to 1969, when the city started burying municipal/industrial wastes
  in trenches.  The city estimates that approximately 7,200 cubic yards of
  nickel sludge generated  by the Autolite  Plant in Woodstock were disposed at
  the landfill during 1972-76.  The landfill  ceased accepting waste after 1976
  and in 1980 was placed on the "closed and covered" list of the Illinois
  Environmental Protection Agency.

      During a March 1985  inspection, EPA  observed leachate seeping at the
  site.  Soil near the seepage contained cadmium,  chromium,  copper, lead,
  arsenic, and nickel.  Underlying the  site are layers of permeable sand and
  gravel, facilitating movement of contaminants into ground water.   An estimated
  12,400 people obtain drinking water from public  and private wells within
  3 miles of the site, including the  City  of  Woodstock's six wells.

      The site is unfenced, making it possible  for people and animals to come
  into  direct contact with leachate seeps.

      Status  (August 1989): EPA is considering  various alternatives for the site.

                                Vincennes, Indiana

      Conditions at listing  (September  1985):  Brestolite Battery Division
  manufactures lead acid batteries on a 17.5-acre site in Vincennes, Khox
  County,  Indiana.  In 1945, Prestolite,  a division of Allied Corp. of Ohio,
  purchased the property from Eltra Corp., which is no longer in existence.

      About 30.9 tons of hazardous wastes in the form of spills and uncontained
  piles are on the site, according to the State.   Analyses conducted by a
  consultant to Prestolite detected high  levels (up to 25,000 parts per
  million) of lead in on-site soil, threatening ground water.   PCBs and sulfuric
  acid were also found in on-site soil.   About 20,000 people depend on wells
  within 3 miles of the site as a source  of  drinking water.

      Other portions of the  Prestolite  facility are regulated under other
  Federal laws.  A waste water lagoon on  the site received Interim Status under
  Subtitle C of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) when
  Prestolite filed Part A of a permit application.   Instead of seeking an
  operating permit, the company has decided  to close the lagoon.  Its closure
  plan  is being reviewed by  the Indiana Department of Environmental Management
  (IDEM).

      When the waste water lagoon overflows, the contents go into the Vincennes
  sewer system.  Storm water run-off from the facility enters  Kelso Creek, which
  flows into the Wabash River.  These waste water discharges are regulated under
  the Clean Water Act.

      Status  (June 1988); EPA is proposing to  place this previously proposed
  RCRA  site on the final NPL.  Much of  the lead in  soil comes  from  air emissions
  from  the company's  faulty  air pollution control equipment.  At this time,
  there is an unresolved question as to whether Subtitle C corrective action
  authorities of RCRA apply  to all the  contamination associated with the site.
  Hence, EPA proposes to deal with the  problems under Superfund.

      In January 1987, the State started  a remedial investigation/feasibility
  study to determine  the type and extent  of contamination at the site and
  identify alternatives for  remedial action.

      After numerous  revisions, IDEM approved  the company's closure plan on
  December  30,  1987.

      Status  (August  1989);  EPA has placed this site on the NPL.

                               Abbeville, Louisiana

      Conditions at listing  (June 1988); Ihe D./L. Mud, Inc., site covers 12.8
  acres in the south-central section of  Louisiana approximately 2.5 miles
  southwest of Abbeville, Vermilion  Parish.  Ihe  site is composed of an inactive
  drilling mud facility and a vacant lot.  It is 1.5  miles west of the Vermilion
  River, which flows to the Gulf of  Mexico.  Adjacent to the southeast portion
  of the site is the Gulf Coast Vacuum Services Site,  which was also proposed
  for the NPL in June 1988. The two  sites  were once  known as the Galveston-
  Houston Yard.

      Ihe D. L. Mud, Inc., Site was  owned  and operated by Gulf Premix Mud and
  Vacuum Service Co. until 1979, when it was sold to Galveston-Houston Fluid
  Services, Inc.  In 1981, it was purchased by Dowell Fluid Services,  a
  subsidiary of Dow Chemical, Inc.   Dowell sold the  facility in 1984 or early
  1985 to D. L. Mud, Inc., without operating it.  D.  L. Mud went out of business
  in 1986-87.

      While the site was operating,  oil  drilling  muds,  salt water, and other
  drilling fluids were placed in 11  on-site tanks.   On-site soil contains
  organic compounds, including  alkanes and related compounds,  lead,  and arsenic,
  according to EPA tests conducted in December 1985.  An  average of  20 feet  of
  alluvial terrace deposits  of  low-to-moderate permeability overlies the shallow
  sand  aquifer, which is used for drinking water  and irrigation.  Contamination
  has been found at a depth  of  at least  2  feet, indicating the potential for
  (Contaminants to move into  ground water.   Approximately  2,600 people  obtain
  drinking water and about 1,000 acres of  cropland are  irrigated by private
  wells within 3 miles of the site.  Another 9,000 acres  are irrigated with
  surface water, which is potentially threatened  by the site.

      Ihe Louisiana Department  of Environmental Quality (LDEQ) negotiated an
  agreement for  site cleanup with Dowell Schlumberger,  present owner of the
  site. 3he company removed  drilling muds  from the tanks  and sent them to the
  Dow Chemical Co. plant in  Plaquemine,  Louisiana, where  they were incinerated.
  Ihe tanks and  piping were  dismantled,  cleaned,  and hauled to a metal salvage
  facility. Contaminated soil under  and  around tanks was  removed to undisturbed
  clay and taken to the Dow  facility for incineration.  Excavated areas were
  backfilled with clean soil.   Used  drilling muds were  also removed from
  portions of the site where they had been dumped.  LDEQ  representatives were
  present during the cleanup.

      Status  (August  1989):  In  early August 1989, EPA sent Notice Letters to
  300 parties potentially responsible for  wastes  associated with the site,
  informing them of their responsibilities.

      EPA expects the potentially responsible parties to  start a remedial
  investigation/feasibility  study by early 1990 to determine the type and extent
  of contamination at the site  and identify alternatives  for remedial action.

                                Aberdeen, Maryland

      Conditions at listing  (April  1985); Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG)
  occupies scans 79,000 acres of land and water in southern Harford County and
  southeastern Baltimore County, Maryland, near the head of Chesapeake Bay.  It
  is an active Army test and evaluation installation primarily responsible for
  planning and testing of weapons,  munitions,  vehicles,  and various equipment.
  APG consists of two functional areas:  The Edgewood Area (13,000 land acres,
  including Gunpowder Neck, Pooles  Island, Carroll Island,  and Graces Quarters)
  and the Aberdeen Area  (17,000 land acres).   The land portions of the two areas
  are separated by Bush River.

      The Aberdeen Area is bordered on the west by the Bush River and northeast
  to south by the Chesapeake Bay.   The area is drained by seven creeks plus
  Bush River.  Most of these creeks have their headwaters on the Aberdeen Area.
  The area contains firing ranges,  impact areas,  vehicle  test racks,  and
  laboratories in support of testing activities.

      The location of concern on the Aberdeen  Area is the 20-acre Michaelsville
  landfill.  The Army has detected  lead, mercury,  chromium,  benzene,  and cadmium
  in ground  water on the site.  Other  potentially hazardous  portions  of the
  Aberdeen Area  are currently being evaluated.

      APG is participating in the Installation Restoration Program  (IRP),
  established in 1978.  Under this  program, the Department of Defense seeks to
  identify,  investigate, and clean  up  contamination from hazardous materials.
  The Army has performed an environmental contamination survey and assessment of
  the Aberdeen Area and  is monitoring  ground water and surface water  in the
  areas of suspected contamination. APG is cooperating with the Maryland
  Department of  Hygiene  and Mental  Health to determine the extent of the
  Aberdeen Area  contamination.

      The facility acquired  Interim Status under Subtitle C  of the Resource
  Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) when the Army filed Part A of a permit
  application.

      Status (August  1989): The State  has issued the Army a RCRA Corrective

                                  South Hope,  Maine

      conditions at listing (April  1985):  Union Chemical Co. , Inc. , operated a
   chemical recycling and incineration business during 1978-84 on an 0.75-acre
   fenced lot in South Hope, Knox county,  Maine.  The site is bounded on the east
   by Quiggle Brook and is in  the 100-year floodplain.  Grassy Pond, an  alternate
   drinking water source  for the  towns of Canden, Rockport, Rockland, and
   Thomaston (approximately 22,800  people),  is less than 1 mile downgradient.

      The site once contained  approximately 2,500 drums and over 30 tanks
   holding 100,000 gallons of  flamnable materials and sludges.  Among the wastes
   were FCBs, methylene chloride, cyanides, methyl ethyl ketone, and
   trichloroethylene.  An on-site well and Quiggle Brook are contaminated with
   trichloroethylene, according to  tests conducted by the state and ERA.

      Union Chemical  lost Interim status in June 1984 under Maine's
   Uncontrolled Hazardous Substance Act because it failed to satisfy requirements
   of Subtitle C of the Resource  Conservation and- Recovery Act (RCRA).  Under RCRA
   Section 3008, EPA  fined the company for failure to submit a complete Fart B
   permit application.

      Using CERCLA emergency funds,  ERA removed all surface drums,  over 100,000
   gallons of liquids and sludges from aboveground  tanks,  and some  contaminated
   soil from the  site.  The action was completed in November 1984.

      status (June 19881:  KPA  is  proposing to place this previously proposed
   RCRA site on the NPL because it has lost Interim Status (and hence authority
   to operate) and has a  history  of unwillingness to take  corrective action.  Ine
   owner/operator has failed to submit an  acceptable Part  B permit application,
   failed to comply with  Federal  and State administrative  orders, and stated  that
   he is financially  unable to clean up the site.

      State analyses  conducted in May and  July 1987 found  total volatile
   organic chemicals  in on-site ground water ranged from 250 to  1,000 parts per
   million.  In  July  1987, ETA analyses of 43  residential  wells within
   approximately 0.5  mile of the  site found trace levels of l,l-dichloroethane,
   1,2-dichloroethane, methylene  chloride, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, and
   trichloroethylene.  EPA is  conducting additional rounds of sampling of nearby
   residential wells.

      On November 4,  1987, EXA and the State signed a Consent Order under
   CESCLA sections 122 (d) (3) and  (h)  with  263 potentially  responsible parties
    (PRPs) who generated and/or transported hazardous waste to the site.   These

   determine the type and extent  of contamination at the site and identify
   alternatives  for remedial action and (2) reimburse the Federal and state
   governments for their  volume share of past cleanup costs.

      On January 13,  1988, EZft and the State entered into a second Consent
   Order under CEPOA sections 122  (d)(3)  and  (h) with 25 additional PRPs who
   generated and/or transported hazardous  waste to  the site.  These parties
   agreed to the sane terms as the original 263 PRPs in the November 1987 order,
   but at a premium for settling  late.

                      19P9)! EBV has placed this site on the NFL.
       On May 23, 1989,  a proposed partial Consent Decree in United States vs.

  landfill accepted 200-300  cubic yards of sludges from the Union Steel Products
  plant prior to November 1981.   Tests conducted by the Michigan Department of
  Natural Resources in 1980  indicated that the sludges contain chromium,
  cadmium, lead, copper, nickel,  and cyanide.  Paint residues were also accepted
  from an unknown source.

      In an inspection in March 1986,  EPA  found approximately 40 drums on the

  the ground as an initial step in recycling the  drums.  According to tests
  conducted by the Michigan Department of  Natural Resources (MENR)  in 1983,
  shallow ground water is contaminated with 1,2-dichloroethane.   The shallow
  contaminated aquifer is hydraulically connected to  the deep Saginaw
  Formation, so that water can move between them.   The shallow  and deeper
  aquifers provide drinking water to the 133,000  residents of Lansing and Holt
  via municipal wells within 3 miles of the site.   The nearest well is 800 feet
  away.

      The nearest downslope  surface water, Grand  River, is 1,800 feet from the
  site.  The Grand River, which is a fishing stream,  is potentially threatened
  by conditions at the site.  The areas along  the river are a habitat for the
  Indiana bat, designated by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service  as  an
  endangered species.

      In January 1986, MENR  gained access  to the  site from a State  Court.  MENR
  has approved $449,589 under the Michigan Environmental  Response Act for
  removal and disposal of barrels, debris, contaminated soil, and buried tanks.
  All drums,  1,001 yards of  visibly contaminated  soil,  and nine  underground
  tanks have been  removed and sent to an EPA-regulated hazardous waste disposal
  facility.   One underground tank and two  tanks in the building  have been pumped
  out.

      Activities remaining include: removal of additional soil,  some crushed
  drums,  resins, nonhazardous and hazardous liquids,  nonhazardous solids,  and
  additional  buried tanks.   Soil  sampling  is underway to  determine  the extent of
  soil contamination.  Sample results showed that some additional soil removal
  needs to be done.

       Status  (August 1989);  The State is seeking  to recover the  costs of its
   initial cleanup.

       Additional soil sampling determined  that more soil  needs to be removed.

                                Cadillac, Michigan

      Conditions at listing  (September 1985):  Kysor Industrial Corp.
  manufactures temperature control systems for the automotive industry on a
  0.10 acre site in Cadillac, Wexford County,  Michigan.  The process involves
  stamping and machining metal  parts.   Prior to 1979, 665 cubic yards of
  liquid/sludge wastes containing solvents (1,1,1-tricnloroethane,
  trichloroethylene, toluene, and ethylbenzene)  used to clean metal parts were
  disposed in unlined earthen pits on the site,  according to the State.  In
  1981, the company excavated the pits and sent the materials to an off -site
  disposal facility.

      Qn-site monitoring wells  that tap shallow ground water are contaminated
  with solvents,  including toluene and trichloroethylene, according to tests
  conducted by consultants to the company.   A  shallow aquifer within 3 miles of
  the site provides water for 4,500 people, approximately 8 percent of
  Cadillac's population.  The nearest surface  water (0.4 mile downstream from
  the facility)  is used for  fishing.

      A container storage area  at Kysor received Interim Status under Subtitle C
  of the Resource Conservation  and Recovery Act (RCRA)  when the company filed
  Part A of  a permit application.  In July 1984,  EPA approved a plan for closing
  the area and granted the facility small-generator status.

      Status (September 1986);  The State is conducting an area-wide remedial
   investigation/feasibility  study to determine the type and extent  of
   contamination and identify alternatives for  remedial  action.   The effort
   includes several  NPL sites, among them Kysor Industrial Corp.

       Status (June  1988); EPA is  proposing to  place this previously proposed
   RCRA site on the  final NPL.   EPA's July 1984 action converted the plant to a
   hazardous waste generator. Hence, it satisfies a component of EPA's NPL/RCRA
   policy.

       Status (August  1989);  EPA has placed this site on the NPL.

       The remedial  investigation  of the Cadillac area ground water,  including
   the Kysor site, was completed in August 1988 and the  feasibility  study was
   completed in June 1989.  The  proposed cleanup plan was issued on July 27,
   1989.  This plan  involves  the removal of volatile organic chemicals from
   ground water at the Kysor  site, and the removal of hexavalent chromium from
   the Northernaire  Plating site,  also located  in Cadillac, which was placed  on
   the NPL in September 1983. The plan includes cleanup of contaminated soils at
   Kysor.

     Qmrt-i-t-ions at listing (April 1985): The Conservation Chemical Co.  (CCC)
  Site covers approximately 6 acres in Kansas  City,  Jackson County, Missouri.
  It is on the south bank of the Missouri River near where the Blue and Missouri
  Rivers  meet.  CCC operated a waste treatment and disposal facility on the site
  from about 1960 to 1980.  The primary wastes handled were metal-finishing
  wastes, including pickle liquors, spent plating solutions, heat-treating
  materials, and alkaline cyanides; chlorinated and  ncnchlorinated solvents and
  other organics; alkaline refinery wastes; laboratory chemicals;  and wastes
  containing arsenic and elemental phosphorus.  Records  indicate that
  approximately 300,000 tons of wastes were accepted,  some were incinerated,
  but  most were buried in lagoons which were either  unlined or inadequately
  lined.   CCC attempted physical stabilization of the  lagoons by mixing the
  lagoon contents with fly ash and waste pickle liquor.  One lagoons were then
  covered with soil.

     CCC obtained Interim status for various storage tanks under Subtitle  C of
  the  Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) by filing Part A of a
  permit application.  Subsequently, those wastes were disposed  of off-site, and
  the  tanks are no longer used.

     ETA has detected various hazardous substances in on- and off-site  surface
  soil and in ground water downgradient of the site.   This ground water is part
  of an aquifer used locally as a drinking and industrial water supply.
  Because the ground water and the Missouri River are hydraulically connected,
  the  contaminants are entering the river, which is used locally and regionally
   for recreation, industry, irrigation, and municipal water supply.

     On November 22, 1982, the united States filed a civil action under RCRA
   and CERCLA seeking a court-ordered site cleanup and reimbursement of the
  Government's investigative costs.  Ine parties sued were: CCC - its president
   and principal stockholder; Conservation Chemical Co.  of Illinois  (a related-
   corporation) ; and four major contributors of waste to the site -  Artnco, inc.,
   EMC Corp., IBM Corp., and AT&T Technologies,  Inc. (formerly western Electric).
  On June 19, 1984, the four original generator defendants filed third-party
   suits against 152 other generators, 7 Federal agencies, and 16 insurance
   companies.  On October 1, 1984, 77 additional third-party defendants were
   added to the lawsuit.

      Status (April 1987): On August 2, 1985, the Government reached a
   preliminary settlement under which the four original  generator defendants
   agreed to undertake remedial design and remedial action at the CCC site and to
   reimburse the goveiiineni. $500,000 of its response costs.   Additional studies
   during the design identified conditions that  would  make the remedial action
   more difficult and expensive.

      status (June 1988): EIA is proposing to place this previously proposed
   RCRA site on the NFL.  Based on an evaluation of CCC's  record of compliance,
   EPA has determined that the company has demonstrated  unwillingness  to take
   corrective action.

      In November 1987, EPA and the defendants agreed  to a remedial action
   involving pumping and treating ground water.  The Consent Decree was signed in
   April 1988.

      status (August 1989); EPA has placed this  site on  the NPL.

      In the fall of 1988, the defendants submitted the  remedial designs
   associated with the surface cleanup, and the  withdrawal and monitoring well
   network activities, pursuant to the Consent Decree.   The ground water
   treatment plant design was submitted on schedule in April 1989.

      Surface cleanup activities have essentially been completed.  Construction
   has started on the well network and treatment plant.

                             Cape Girardeau, Missouri

      Conditions at listing  (January 1987);  The/Kesm-Pest Laboratories Site
  occupies 6.1 acres on Missouri  State Highway 177, near Cape Girardeau,  Cape
  Girardeau County, Missouri. The company formulated various pesticides on the
  site from 1965 to 1975, when  it went out of business.

      According to information  provided to EPA as required by CERCLA Section
  103 (c), the plant generated wastes containing the following pesticides:
  aldrin, dieldrin, 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), endrin, heptachlor,
  methyl parathion, and thiuram.  On the site was a 1,250-square-foot lagoon
  used to treat plant waste  and sewage.  When the company closed the lagoon in
  April 1981, it was filled  in  with compacted clay and covered with another
  layer of compacted clay.

      An EPA inspection  in May  1983 revealed that the lagoon cover was eroding,
  and no vegetation was  observed  on the cover.  Heptachlor and endrin were
  detected in surface soil near the lagoons and in drainage paths leading off-
  site.  In April 1984,  EPA  detected heptachlor, chlordane, endrin, aldrin, and
  4,4-DDD in on-site monitoring wells tapping into the shallow aguifer.   This
  aquifer, which is  not currently used, is connected to a deeper aquifer that
  supplies private drinking  water wells within 3 miles of the site.  The wells
  serve an estimated 1,300 people.

      The site is in the floodplain of the Mississippi River.  A fresh water
  wetland is within 1 mile.   Cape Girardeau (population 34,000) draws drinking
  water from the Mississippi less than 1 mile downstream of the site.

       Status (August 1989);  In November 1988, EPA issued an Administrative
   Order on Consent under CERCLA Section 104.  Under the order,  the
   owner/operator of Kern-Pest and Cape Chemical Co., a successor to Kern-Pest,
   conducted limited sampling in December 1988.  In early 1989,  EPA installed
   off-site, monitoring wells and collected soil and ground water samples.   EPA
   is currently evaluating potential remedial alternatives for the site.

                            St.  Louis County, Missouri

      Conditions at listing  (May 1989); The St. j Louis Airport/Hazelwood Interim
  Storage/FUtura Coatings Co. Site is  in St.  Louis County, Missouri.  It
  consists of three areas used for storing radioactive and other wastes from
  uranium processing operations conducted  in St.  Louis by the Atomic Energy
  Commission (AEC) and its successor,  the  U.S.  Department of Energy (USDOE).
  None of the three areas is now owned by  the Federal Government.

      The St. Louis Airport area covers 21.7  acres immediately north of Lambert
  St.  Louis International Airport, approximately  15 miles northwest of downtown
  St.  Louis.  It is bounded by a railroad  track,  Coldwater Creek, and McDonnell
  Boulevard.  Radioactive metal scrap  and  drums of waste were stored in the
  airport area in uncovered and unstabilized piles from 1947 to the mid-1960s,
  when they were transferred 0.5 mile  northeast to AEC's Hazelwood Interim
  Storage (HIS) area.  Buildings in the airport area were razed,  buried,  and
  covered with clean fill after 1967.  In  1969, the land was conveyed to the St.
  Louis-Lambert Airport Authority.

      HIS and the Futura Coatings  Co.  plant cover 11 acres adjacent to Latty
  Avenue, Coldwater Creek, and Hanley  Avenue.  In 1966, Continental Mining and
  Milling Co. acquired the property and recovered uranium from wastes purchased
  from AEC's St. Louis operations.  In 1967,  the  company  sold the property, and
  by 1973 most processing residues had been removed.  Under the direction  of the
  Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), the present owner  excavated contaminated
  soil and  is storing it in two large  piles in the eastern portion of the  11
  acres.  Since the 1970s, Futura  Coatings, a manufacturer of plastic coatings,
  has leased the western portion.

      High  levels of uranium, thorium, and radium are present in surface and
  subsurface soils and ground water near the  airport area,  according to tests
  conducted by NRC  (1976), Oak Ridge National Laboratory  (1977), and a USDOE
  contractor (1986).  Radon-222 was present in the air near the area in the
  USDOE tests.  An office building with 24,000 employees  is within 0.5 mile of
  the site.

      In  1982, USDOE conducted preliminary studies of radioactive contamination
  of  the ditches along the sides of the roads leading to the site.  In 1986,
  boreholes were drilled to continue the contamination study and collect
  geological information.  In 1984, USDOE  cleared the HIS/Futura Coatings area,
  constructed a vehicle decontamination facility,  installed a perimeter fence,
  excavated and backfilled the edges and shoulders  of Latty Avenue, and
  consolidated contaminated soils  into a pile.  In  1986, during a city road
  improvement project, contaminated soil from roads leading to all the areas
  was excavated. USDOE plans further studies  in all areas, which will lead to
  additional remedial action.

      Status (August 1989); USDOE  is continuing to  conduct studies to
  characterize the site.  USDOE, the Missouri Department of Natural Resources,
  and EPA will begin negotiations  shortly  on an Interagency Agreement for
  remedial  activities.

                               Amazonia, Missouri

      Conditions at listing  (January 1987): Wheeling Disposal Service Co.,
  Inc.,  operates a landfill on two contiguous areas covering approximately 200-
  acres.  The site is approximately 1 mile southeast of Amazonia in Andrew
  County,  Missouri.

      The landfill was established in the early 1970s.   Between June 1980 and
  September 1981, the company voluntarily ceased  operations pending the
  issuance of State and Federal regulations on hazardous waste disposal
  facilities.  In September  1981, the facility resumed  operations under the
  authority of a special waste disposal  permit issued by the State of Missouri.
  The Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) has periodically inspected
  and monitored ground water at the site since 1975.

      Based on monthly MDNR  hazardous waste logs, wastes containing pesticides
  (including heptachlor, toxaphene, and  lindane), cyanide,  arsenic,  sulfide,
  nickel, cadmium, lead, zinc, asbestos,  paint sludge,  and tanning sludge were
  disposed at this landfill.

      In field investigations conducted  by EPA in December 1980,  November 1982,
  and November 1983,  trichloroethylene,  chloroform,  and 1,2-dichloroethane were
  detected in monitoring wells and springs on-site  at concentrations
  significantly above background  levels.

      Drinking water is supplied  to approximately 300 residents of Amazonia  and
  4,200 residents of Savannah through wells into  the Missouri River alluvial
  aquifer that are within  1  to 2  miles of the site.   Shallow ground water
  beneath the site provides  partial recharge  to the aquifer.

      Mace  Creek,  4,000 feet downslope from the landfill,  is threatened by
  drainage  from the site.  Local  surface waters are used for fishing.

      Status (August 1989):  In 1987, the owner/operator began closing
  procedures at the site.  In September  1988, EPA,  the  owner/operator of  the
  site, and six companies  that transported wastes to the site entered into an
  Administrative Order under CERCLA  Sections  104  and 122.   Urtder  the order, the
  seven responsible parties  are conducting a  remedial investigation/feasibility
  study to determine the type and extent of contamination at the  site and
   identify alternatives for remedial action.   Field work started  in January 1989.

      Conditions at listing (June 1988):  BenfieJ.d Industries, Inc.,  started
  mixing and packaging bulJc chemicals on a 3.5-acre site in Hazelwood, Haywood
  County,  North Carolina, in  1976.   The company listed a wide range  of organic
  and inorganic chemicals for sale.   In 1982, a fire destroyed roost  of the
  plant; except for minor mixing  operations and cleanup of debris from the fire,
  operations ceased.  In 1986,  Benfield removed other debris and usable
  chemicals from the site in  preparation for selling the land.  Prior to 1976,
  Unagusta Furniture Co. manufactured mattresses and produced lumber on the
  site.

      In September 1985, the  North Carolina Division of Health Services (NCDHS)
  inspected the site.  Analyses by NCDHS indicated high concentrations of
  polycyclic hydrocarbons,  including biphenyl, carbazole, diphenylene oxide,
  fluoranthene, fluorene, and pyrene, in soil on the western portion of the site
  and in other places on the  site.

      The site lies in the  floodplain of Richland Creek adjacent to Browning
  Branch.  Local  surface water is vised  for recreational activities.   The site
  is underlain by approximately 60 feet of alluvial deposits and saprolite,
  which are  highly permeable.  These conditions facilitate the movement of
  contaminants into ground  water. An estimated 1,800 people obtain drinking
  water from wells and springs within 3 miles of the site.

      The site is unfenced, making it possible for people and animals to come
  into  direct  contact with  hazardous substances.

      The facility is being proposed for the NPL because it is classified as a
  "protective-filer"  under  Subtitle  C of the Resource Conservation and Recovery
  Act and so may not  be subject to Subtitle C corrective action authorities.

                          Onslow  County,  North Carolina

      Conditions at listing  (June 1988):  Camp Lejeune Military Reservation,
  established in 1941, covers 170 square miles in Onslow County/ North Carolina.
  The complex has a number of facilities, including Marine Corp Base Camp
  Lejeune and the adjoining Marine Corps Air Station New River.  The main
  function of the complex is  training.   ABC One Hour Cleaners in nearby
  Jacksonville was also proposed  for the NPL in June 1988.

      This site was originally proposed as "Camp Lejeune Marine Corps Base."

      The Navy has identified 76  potential waste disposal areas in Camp Lejeune
  and designated 22 as posing a potential threat to public health and the
  environment.   Currently, the focus is on "Site #21, Lot #140," a 220- by 890-
  foot area  on the Marine Corps Base where pesticides were mixed and
  application equipment cleaned.   During 1950-51, transformer oil was dumped in
  an 8-foat-deep pit  on the  lot.   The Navy has detected pesticides, including
  DDT, DDE,  and  aldrin, 'in soil on Site #21.

      Ground water at the base is shallow (10 feet)  and subsurface formations
  permeable, conditions that facilitate movement of contaminants into ground
  water.  An estimated  13,800 people obtain drinking water from wells within
  3 miles of Site #21,  the nearest one 1,400 feet away.

      Camp  Lejeune Military Reservation is participating in the Installation
  Restoration Program,  established in 1978.  Under this program,  the Department
  of Defense seeks to identify, investigate,  and clean up contamination from
  hazardous materials.  The Navy has completed Phase I (records search).   Phase
   II (hydrogeologic investigation) is underway.

                             Aberdeen,  North Carolina

      Conditions at listing  (June 1988):  The Gefgy Chemical Corp. Site covers
  1 acre in eastern Moore County, North Carolina.   It is on a railroad right-of-
  way on Route 211 just east of the  corporate city limits of Aberdeen.  Aberdeen
  and Rockfish Railroad owns the land,  but it has been occupied by various
  chemical companies since 1947.  Four aboveground storage tanks, an office
  building, and warehouses now  occupy  the site.

      During 1949-55, Geigy Chemical Corp. formulated technical-grade solid and
  liquid pesticides at the site.  DDT  was blended, along with other chlorinated
  pesticides such as lindane and toxaphene.   Olin Chemicals subsequently
  operated the plant from 1956  to 1967.

      In 1987, EPA detected pesticides, including toxaphene, DDT, and lindane,
  in surface and subsurface soils on the  site.  Ground water contamination is
  possible because the State has found low concentrations of lindane in private
  and municipal wells.  The Sandhill Aquifer underlying the site supplies all
  drinking water for Moore County.   At the site, a layer of sand and clay
  overlies the aquifer, resulting in moderate permeability.  The Aberdeen  Public
  Water Supply System and numerous private wells within 3 miles of the site
  serve an estimated 7,400 people.

      Surface water drains southwest toward Aberdeen Creek.   Drainage collects
  in several unnamed tributaries that  partially feed Aberdeen Creek, which is
  used  for recreational activities.

      The site is unfenced, making it  possible for people and animals to come
   into  direct contact with hazardous substances.

      Status (August  1989): Under a  CERdA Section 106  Administrative Order on

   will  conduct a remedial investigation/feasibility study to determine the type
   and extent of  contamination at the site and identify  alternatives for remedial
   aciton.  EPA is working with  the companies  to develop a workplan.

      In February 1989, the three companies excavated 142 tons of waste and
   transported it to a hazardous waste  facility regulated  under Subtitle C of the
   Resource Conservation and Recovery Act.

                              Oxford, North Carolina

      Conditions at listing  (June 1988); The JFD Elec±ronics/Channel Master
  site occupies 13 acres on  Industrial  Drive in  Oxford,  Granville County, North
  Carolina.  During 1962-79, JFD Electronics manufactured television antennas on
  the site.  A lagoon covering  approximately 23,400 square feet was built in
  1964-65 to dispose of sludge  generated by  treating waste water, primarily
  rinse water from a chromate conversion process and copper/ nickel
  electroplating.

      In 1980, Channel Master,  a division  of Avnet, Inc.,  purchased the
  property. In 1983, half of the lagoon was  filled and used as a truck parking
  lot.  A building on the property  is rented by  a  local  department store and
  used as a warehouse.

      Approximately 25 percent  of the property is  contaminated, according to
  Channel Master.  The company  found chromium, lead,  and other heavy metals in
  the sludge, and halogenated organic compounds, including trichloroethane,
  tetrachloroethylene, and trans-l,2-dichloroethane,  in  on-site shallow
  monitoring wells it had constructed.  This contamination appears to be
  associated with leaking underground tanks  of waste oil used by JFD and with an
  area where trucks with waste  oil  had  been  rinsed.  An  estimated 2,500 people
  obtain drinking water from private wells within  3 miles  of the site,  the
  closest  approximately 2,000 feet  to the  southeast.

      The  site drains to an unnamed tributary  of Fishing Creek, which is used
  for recreational  fishing within 3 miles  downstream of  the site.

       Channel Master has contracted for several  studies  of the site.   One study
  developed a plan for cleaning up  the  lagoon  and  contaminated soil.   The work
  started in June 1987  and  is nearing completion.

  two plants covering more than 465 acres  in Salisbury/ Rowan County, North
  Carolina.  The company purchased the land and a plant from Proctor Chemical
  Co. in 1969 and in 1970 started construction of another plant.

      National Starch deposited about 350,000 gallons of liquid waste
  containing lead and various organic chemicals in unlined trenches in a 2-acre
  area. According to tests conducted by the company's consultant, ground water
  beneath the trench area is  contaminated  with lead,  xylene, toluene, and other
  organic chemicals.  The plants  are located in a rural area that depends
  heavily on wells for drinking water.  About 7,700 people use public and
  private wells within 3 miles  of the site for drinking water.   The nearest well
  is 2,200 feet  from the site.

      From November 1980 until  June 1983,  the Proctor Chemical  plant (National
  Starch kept this name for one of the plants)  had Interim Status under Subtitle
  C of the Resource Conservation  and Recovery Act (RCRA)  as a storer of
  hazardous waste.  Interim Status was withdrawn in June 1982 after the company
  quit storing hazardous waste  on-site for over 90 days.

      Status (June 1988); EPA is  proposing to place this previously proposed
  RCRA site  on the final NPL.  In June 1983,  the Proctor Chemical facility was
  removed  from the list of hazardous waste storage facilities,  and an November
  1983, it was removed from the list of hazardous waste treatment facilities.
  The facility now has generator-only status.   Thus, the National Starch &
  Chemical Corp.  Site satisfies a component of EPA's NPL/RCRA policy.

      On December 1,  1986, EPA  and National Starch signed a Consent Order under
  CERCIA Section 106  calling for  a remedial investigation/feasibility study to
  determine the  type  and extent of contamination at the site and  identify
  alternatives for remedial action.

      Status (August  1989); EPA has placed this site on the NPL.

      A Record of Decision was  signed on September 30,  1988  documenting the
  remedy selected: the pumping  and treatment of contaminated ground water.  The
  Unilateral Administrative Order covering the design and implementation of the
  remedy was issued July 27,  1989.

                                Lindsay, Nebraska

      Conditions at listing (October 1984); Lindsay Manufacturing Co.
 generates acid waste from a galvanizing process at  its plant in Lindsay,
 Platte County, Nebraska.  The wastes were discharged into a 0.1-acre unlined
 pond.  On January 11, 1983, the company sairpled monitoring wells near the
 pond.  Analyses indicated that ground water was contaminated with acid and
 metals.   In October 1983, the pond was closed.   Prior to the closing, the
 plant received Interim Status under Subtitle  C  of the Resource Conservation
 and Recovery Act (RCRA)  when the company filed  Part A of a permit application.

      Under a Stipulated Agreement issued by the  State,  the company has
 removed the source of contamination and is purging the ground water.   Five
 municipal wells serving Lindsay are within 1  mile of the site.

      Status fJanuary 1986): Lindsay is pumping ground water and treating it
 by neutralization and precipitation.  The State is monitoring the ground water
  restoration program.  Data from off-site monitoring  wells suggest that the
  program is controlling the migration of contaminants from the site.

      Status (June 1988): EPA is proposing to place this previously proposed
  RCRA site on the NPL because the wastes generated by Lindsay  are  no longer
  subject to Subtitle C corrective action authorities.  On May  28,  1986,  EPA
  published an amendment to its list of hazardous wastes which  clarified  that
  the wastes generated by Lindsay would be considered  hazardous only if they
  exhibited one or more of the hazardous waste  characteristics.  Lindsay's waste
  did not display hazardous waste characteristics when the surface  impoundments
  were closed on November 2, 1987.  Therefore,  EPA intends to pursue cleanup
  under Superfund.

      In June 1987, a contractor to Lindsay detected volatile organic
  chemicals  in on-site ground water.

      Status f August 1989); EPA has placed this site on the NPL.

      Lindsay is  installing monitoring wells both on-site and off-site to
  determine  the extent of ground water contamination as part of a remedial
  investigation/feasibility study.

                              Bound Brook, New Jersey

     rflMitin"s at listing (June 1988); Hie Brook Industrial Park is a 4.5-
  acre complex of light industries and warehouses on the north banks of the
  Raritan River in a heavily industrialized area in the Borough of Bound Brook,
  Somerset County, New Jersey.  Ttvs park is bordered by the central Railroad of
  New  Jersey,  Lehigh Valley Railroad, and residential areas.

     The  facility dates to the late 1800s.  Industrial,  chemical,  and
  pesticide operations began in 1971 when Blue Spruce Chemical began
  fornulating  pesticides that were banned in the United States and could only be
  exported. Blue spruce stored Agent Orange, which contains traces of dioxin,
  on the  site.  Blue Spruce's building has been abandoned.   Other  occupants of
  buildings at the park include Jane Fine Chemicals, Inc., which manufactures
  specialty chemicals, and National Metal Finishings Corp., which  plates metals.
  Both have operated at the park for 10-12 years within  50 feet of one another.

     •me  Middlebrook Regional Health Commission and the New Jersey
  Department of Environmental Protection (NJEEP) investigated the  site when
  workers became ill.  Several of the operations were cited for inadequate
  housekeeping and waste disposal practices.

     Soils on the site, as well as wells on and downgradient of the site,
  contain solvents, pesticides, and heavy metals, according to EPA and NJEEP
  tests.   Public and private wells within 3 miles of the site provide water to
  an estimated 613,000 people.  A private well is within 0.25 mile of the site.
  The materials that Jane Fine, National Metal,  and Blue Spruce used or
  processed have been mixed and have migrated to ground water.  Also, a sewer
  carrying Jane Fine's process waste water to the Middlesex County Sewerage
  Authority once broke, contaminating the Blue Spruce property.

     EPA and NJDEP detected lindane and aldrin in surface water on the site
  and run-off to the Raritan River.  Nearby surface water is used for
   recreation.

      In July 1983, EPA used CERCLA emergency funds to seal  and lock the Blue
   Spruce building and cap the dioxin area with asphalt.   However, workers in the
   rest of the park can come into direct contact with hazardous substances.

      Jane Fine illegally discharged cooling water used  in the manufacture of
  mandelic acid to the Raritan River, according to an Administrative Consent
   Order filed in March 1980 by NJEEP.  In August  1985, NJDEP cited  National
   Metal and Brook Industrial Park for unpermitted discharges of metal plating
   waste into ground water during 1977-87.

      •mis facility is being proposed for the NPL because National Metal is
   classified as a "non or late-filer" under Subtitle C the Resource Conservation
   and Recovery Act (RCRA).  Although the company was treating,  storing, or
   disposing of hazardous waste after November  19,  1980,  it did not  file a Part A
   permit application by that date as required and has little or no history of
   compliance with RCRA Subtitle C.

      status (Amust 1989) .• ETA received no comments  on the site and so has
   placed it on the NPL.

      In June 1989, EPA completed a workplan for a remedial
   investigation/feasibility study to determine the type and extent of
   contamination at the site and identify alternatives for remedial action.

      In mid-July 1989, EPA sent Notice Letters to parties potentially
   responsible for wastes associated with the site  informing them of their
   responsibilities.

                               Minotola, New Jersey

      Conditions at listing  (June 1988);  The South Jersey Clothing Co. site is
  in a mixed residential, commercial, and light industrial area in the Minotola
  section of Buena Borough, Atlantic County,  New Jersey.  The surrounding area
  is predominantly rural and one  of New Jersey's prime agricultural regions.
  Since the 1940s, the company has  manufactured clothing on Central Avenue  500
  feet from Garden State Cleaners Co., which was also proposed for the NPL  in
  June 1988.

      In 1981, New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP)
  inspectors observed a black liquid on the  soil behind the South Jersey
  Clothing Co. building.  Subsequent analysis revealed trichloroethylene
  concentrations as high as  940,000 parts per billion (ppb)  in soil and 16,000
  ppb in a private drinking  water well.

      Off-site monitoring wells downgradient of South Jersey Clothing and
  Garden State Cleaners contain up  to 78,000 ppb of trichloroethylene and 6,600
  ppb of tetrachloroethylene, according to analyses conducted in 1984 by the
  companies. Ihese concentrations have  forced closing of private wells and
  construction of a new municipal water supply system.  Approximately 9,000
  people obtain  drinking water and  3,800 acres of farmland are irrigated from
  wells within 3 miles of the site.

       In 1984, South Jersey Clothing signed  an Administrative Consent Order
  with NJDEP requiring the company  to intensify monitoring and take measures to
  restrict migration of contaminants in ground water.

       Status (August 1989);  EPA is  currently preparing a workplan for a

                                Oakland,  New Jersey

      Conditions at listing  fJune 19881: Witco Chemical Corp. has operated a
  chemical research laboratory and pilot plant since 1966 in an industrial park
  at 100 Bauer Drive in the  City of Oakland,  Bergen County, New Jersey.  The
  9-acre site is in an industrial area next to a small lake (Hoppers Lake).

      During 1966-83,  Witco  discharged its laboratory waste waters to a series
  of six seepage pits  excavated in a stratified drift aquifer used locally for
  domestic and industrial purposes.  In  March 1982, the New Jersey Department  of
  Environmental Protection  (NJDEP)  inspected  the Witco facility to review
  operations and waste water management  practices.  NJDEP analysis of waste
  water identified petroleum hydrocarbons and volatile organic compounds.
  Subsequently, Witco  submitted a waste  water management plan to NJDEP, which
  included complete elimination of subsurface discharges of waste waters.

      On July 16, 1982, NJDEP issued a directive requiring Witco to:  (1)  submit
  a plan to eliminate  the discharge of waste  waters to ground water;  and (2)
  conduct an investigation to determine  the nature and extent of possible soil
  and ground water contamination resulting from past practices.   On October 28,
  1982, Witco submitted a plan to drill  and sample three shallow borings and
  install and sample four wells.  This investigation was completed in the fall
  of 1982.

      In accordance with the State's directive,  Witco installed a 7,000-gallon
  fiberglass tank to receive laboratory  waste water in February 1984.
  Noncontact cooling water  is discharged to Hoppers Lake under a New Jersey
  Pollution Discharge Elimination System permit.  A freshwater wetland is within
  1 mile of the site.  Franklin lake, which is located  within 3 miles downstream,
  is used  for recreational  activities.

      Dieldren,  4,4'-DDE, 4,4'-DDT, chloroform,  and carbon tetrachloride are
  present  in soil at the site, according to a 1983 report of a Witco contractor.
  Soil  at  the site is  permeable and ground water shallow (23 feet in some
  cases),  conditions that facilitate movement of cx>ntaminants  into ground water.
  An estimated  42,700 people obtain drinking  water from public and private  wells
  within 3 miles of the site.

      Witco retained  a consultant to prepare  a remedial plan to remove the
  deactivated seepage pit system. A series of soil borings were drilled to
  delineate the extent of soil contamination  underlying the pits and to classify
  those soils as hazardous  or nonhazardous.  The remedial plan was formalized in
  July 1987, and Witco began work on November 30,  1987.   Residual  sludges from
  the six seepage pits were transported  to a  hazardous waste facility regulated
  under Subtitle C of the Resource Conservation  and Recovery Act  (RCRA); the
  tanks and other equipment were removed and  disposed;  contaminated soils were
  excavated and removed to  a RCRA-regulated facility;  and the site was
  backfilled and graded.  The closure was completed in January 1988.

       Status (August  1989);  EPA is investigating the possibility of Witco
   conducting a  remedial investigation/feasibility study to determine the type
   and extent of contamination at the site and identify alternatives for remedial
   action.

                              Carrizozo,  New Mexico

      Oonditions at listing  (June 1988);  The Ciaparron Mining Corp. Site covers
  5 to 10 acres approximately 500 yards north of U.S. Highway 380 and
  approximately 0.4 mile east of  U.S.  54  in Carrizozo, Lincoln County,  New
  Mexico.   A recreational area  and historical marker are on the highway
  approximately 300 yards south of the site.

      IXuring 1979-82, Cimarron  Mining Corp.,  also known as Southwest Minerals
  Corp., operated a mill that recovered metal from ore transported to the site.
  The process used a 50/50 solution  of cyanide salt and metal stripper.
  Previously, the mill was operated  by Sierra Blanca Mining and Milling Co. for
  the extraction of gold with cyanide.  Both processes generated a liquid waste
  containing cyanide and heavy  metals.

      In June 1982, New Mexico  charged Cimarron with failing to comply with the
  State water quality and hazardous  waste regulations.  The company took no
  action in response.  It went  out of business and declared bankruptcy in U.S.
  Federal Court on August 14, 1984.

      A site inspection conducted by the  New Mexico Environmental Improvement
  Division in October 1984 revealed  two cyanide solution tanks,  a discharge pit,
  a tailings impoundment, an uncovered tailings pile,  and a drum storage area.
  The tanks  are concrete-lined, but  the other facilities are unlined and lack
  leachate or seepage collection  systems.   In August 1987,  EPA erected  a fence
  around the tailings impoundment and tailings pile.

      In mid-1987, EPA detected cyanide and heavy metals in ground water, soil,
  sediment,  and tailings on  the site.   Cyanide was detected at a concentration
  of  1970 parts per billion  in  an en-site shallow monitoring well.  A tailings
  pile sample contained 15.0 milligrams/kilogram of cyanide.  The levels are
  potentially toxic to human health.

      An estimated 1,500 people obtain  drinking water from municipal wells
  within 3 miles of the site.   Wells are  also used to irrigate food crops.

      This mining site is being proposed  for  the NPL because it  is a noncoal
   site with mining operations that occurred after August 3,  1977, the enactment
   date of the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act (SMCRA).  Thus, the
   site is neither regulated  by  SMCRA nor  eligible for  funds from the SMCRA.
   Abandoned Mine Land Reclamation Program.

       Status (November 1988); EPA has evaluated the site and determined that
   emergency action is not warranted  at  this time.

       Status (August 1989);  EPA is conducting a remedial  investigation/

      Conditions at listing  (June 1988): The Pagano Salvage site covers
  1.25 acres at 102 Edeal Road  approximately 1 mile southeast of los lianas,
  Valencia County, New Mexico,  near the east bank of the Rio Grande.  In 1983,
  Pagano Salvage purchased electric transformers/capacitors containing PCB-
  contaminated oil from Sandia  National Laboratories, a U.S. Department of
  Energy facility in Albuquerque, New Mexico.  Pagano Salvage removed the oil,
  poured it over insulated wire, and burned  off the insulation to recover the
  metal.  The burning took place on unprotected ground at several locations.  At
  present, 62 drums containing  oil  remain  on-site.

      On-site soil samples collected by EPA  in March 1987 contain high
  concentrations of two PCBs: Aroclor 1254 at 1,400 parts per million (ppm), and
  Aroclor 1260 at 910 ppm.   Pesticides  were  also  detected: DDT at 40 parts per
  billion  (ppb); and DDE at  17  ppb.  Contaminants were detected to a depth of
  4 feet.  All of these contaminants were  also detected in on-site soil
  collected in November 1985.

      Ground water at the site  is shallow  (about  5 feet),  and the soil consists
  of  very permeable alluvial deposits.  These conditions facilitate movement of
  contaminants  into ground water.   An estimated 11,900 people obtain drinking
  water from public and private wells within 3 miles of the site.   Surface water
  near the site is used to irrigate food and forage crops.

       Status  (August  1989):  On  June 8,  1989,  EPA  issued a CERCLA Section 106
  Administrative Order requiring a  number  of parties potentially responsible
   for wastes  associated with the site to conduct  a removal action.   The parties
   declined but proposed to fund the action,  estimated to cost $1.5 million.
   Using CERCLA emergency funds, EPA has started a removal action at the site.

      Conditions at listing  (May  1989);  Tri-Citj.es Barrel Co. has reconditioned
  barrels since 1955 on a 3.5-acre site  5 miles northeast of Binghamton, Broome
  County,  New York, near the Hamlet  of Port Crane.  The site is on Route 7.
  Interstate 88 borders the site  to  the  north,  while the rest of the site is
  bordered by rural residential areas and farmland.

      The reconditioning process  involves cleaning of the interior of the
  barrels with a 5- to 10-percent sodium hydroxide solution.  An incinerator was
  also used at the site for disposal of  flammable solids.   Until 1980, waste
  water from the reconditioning was  discharged into unlined lagoons and allowed
  to evaporate.  Under a Consent  Order with the New York State Department of
  Environmental Conservation  (NYSDEC), this practice was discontinued and the
  lagoons were pumped out and backfilled in 1981.  Waste water from the
  reconditioning is currently stored in  a holding tank and hauled off-site for
  disposal.

      Ground water on-site is contaminated with PCB-Aroclor 1242 and chlordane
  above NYSDEC Drinking Water Standards,  according to NYSDEC tests conducted in
  1985.  A soil sample also had high concentrations  of several organic
  compounds. An estimated 3,500 people obtain drinking water from private wells
  within 3 miles of the site.   One well  is on the site.

      Surface water within 3 miles downstream of the site  is used for
  irrigation and recreational activities.

      The site is not fenced, making it  possible for people and animals to come

      Conditions at listing (June 1988);  Wright|-Patterson AIT- Force Base
  (WPAFB)  is in southwestern Ohio northeast of Dayton in Greene and Montgomery
  Counties. The installation is composed of two air fields, Wright Field and
  Patterson Field, covering 8,174 acres.   The base employs approximately 33,000
  people,  of whom about  8,000 presently live on the base.

      Past Air Force activities in support of operational missions have
  resulted in creation of several unlined waste disposal areas throughout the
  base, including landfills,  fire training areas,  and coal storage piles.  From
  1941 to at least 1973, the Industrial Shops and the Research and Development
  Laboratories disposed  of  more than 791 tons of waste on the base, including
  solvents, contaminated thinners, degreasing sludges, tetraethyllead sludge,
  and miscellaneous hazardous chemicals.

      In 1985, the base, with the assistance of the Ohio Environmental
  Protection Agency  (OEPA), found 1,1,1-trichloroethane,  tetrachloroethylene,
  trichloroethylene,  1,2-dichloroethane,  and manganese in on-base wells.   The
  Miami River Valley Aquifer System,  which is the  predominant water source in
  the Dayton and WPAFB area,  provides water to three municipal well fields
  within 3 miles that serve more  than 375,000 people.   The people working and
  living on the  base are served by 16 base wells.   local  surface waters are also
  potentially threatened by inactive waste sites on the base.

      Under OEPA Consent Orders,  issued on February 9,  1988 under CERCIA  and
  the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA),  the  Air Force will conduct
  a remedial investigation/feasibility study to determine the type and extent of
  contamination  at the site and identify alternatives for remedial action.

      WPAFB is participating in the Installation Restoration Program,
  established in 1978.   Under this program,  the Department of Defense  seeks to
  identify, investigate, and clean up contamination from  hazardous materials.
  The base has completed the equivalent of a preliminary  assessment and site
  inspection.  WPAFB will recommend that all contaminated areas either be
  further evaluated  via  a remedial investigation/feasibility study, be
  addressed via  an immediate remedial action,  or be designated as  requiring no
  further action.  The landfills  identified as primary sources of  contamination
  have been proposed for immediate remedial action.

       Status  (August 1989); OEPA, EPA,  and the Air Force  are negotiating a
  CERCIA  Section 120 Interagency  Agreement covering all activities at WPAFB.

      Conditions at listing  (June 1988):  The A.I.W. Frank Corp.  (AIW)/Mid-
  Oounty Mustang Site cavers  16 acres  in Exton, Chester County, Pennsylvania.
  Originally farmland, the area is undergoing rapid development to a
  residential, commercial, and light industrial area.  During 1962-81, AIW
  produced styrofoam cups and plates and used trichloroethylene  (TCE) and  1,1,1-
  trichloroethane (1,1,1-TCEA)  to clean its  machinery.  The operation covers 15
  acres at 717 East Lincoln Highway.   Continental Refrigerator Corp. acquired
  the property in 1981 when AIW went bankrupt.  Continental manufactures
  refrigerators, freezers, and warming cabinets for the institutional and food
  service industry.

      Investigations by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources
  (PA DER) indicate that AIW handled and disposed of solvents improperly.  In
  early 1983, a consultant to the company found that an on-site monitoring well
  was contaminated with TCE,  tetrachloroethylene (PCE), and 1,1,1-TCEA.

      The Mid-County Mustang facility  covers less than 1 acre at 891 East
  Lincoln Highway adjacent to the western boundary of AIW.   Mid-County Mustang
  leased this property from the summer of 1982 until December 1984  from  CDS
  Investments.   Since the 1940s,  the building leased by Mid-County  Mustang has
  been used  as an auto repair and/or body shop.  The solvents used  to clean auto
  engines were discharged into floor drains  in the building and from there into
  an on-site stone bed drain field.  In December 1983, a consultant to CDS
  Investments detected TCE,  PCE,  methylene chloride,  and carbon tetrachloride at
  the floor  drain and drain  field.   A  hydrogeologic investigation of the
  neighboring AIW facility showed that a well on the Mid-County Mustang  property
  was contaminated with TCE,  PCE, and  1,1,1-TCEA.

      An estimated 76,700 people  obtain drinking water from public and private

                          AMP, INC.  (GIEN ROCK FACILITY)
                              Glen Rock, Pennsylvania

      Conditions at listing  (June 1988): AMP,  Inc.,  has owned and operated a
  20-acre site on Old Route  11, Susqueharma Trail Road, in Glen Rock, York
  County, Pennsylvania, since the early 1950s.   The area is rural.  The site
  involves two operations: a materials development laboratory that conducts
  research on contact adhesives and lubricants and a plastics division that
  manufactures injection mold plastics and polyester used in undercarpet cable.

      In September 1982,  5-7 gallons of chlorinated organic solvents were
  spilled around the cement  storage pad used by  both the production and
  research operations, according  to the company.  The solvents stored on this
  pad included 1,1,2-trichloroethane, 1,1-dichloroethylene, 1,1-
  dichloroethane, and chloroform.

      In 1984, a  consultant  to AMP  detected elevated levels of these
  compounds in ground water  and surface water  downgradient of the AMP facility.
  An estimated 4,700 people  obtain  drinking water from public and private wells
  and springs in  the Wissahickon  Formation within 3  miles of the site.   The
  consultant also detected solvents in a spring  discharging to Larkin Pond  550
  feet  from the site.  The creek  is used for recreational activities.  A wetland
  is adjacent to  Larkin Pond.

      AMP is pumping  one  of  its wells to form  a  cone of depression in an
  attempt to prevent  the  contaminants from migrating off-site and has installed
  a stripping tower to remove the solvents from  wells of a nearby trailer park.
  AMP is analyzing monitoring wells quarterly  and studying subsurface conditions
  at the site.

       This facility obtained Interim Status under Subtitle C of the Resource
  Conservation and Recovery Act  (RCRA) when it filed a Notification of Hazardous
  Waste Activity and Part A of a  permit application to treat,  store, or dispose
   of hazardous waste.  Later it withdrew its Part A and converted to generator-
   only status with EPA or State approval.  Hence, it satisfies a component of
   ERA'S NPL/RCRA policy.

       Status (August 19891:  On March 1, 1989,  EPA entered into a RCRA Section
   3008 (h) corrective action Consent Order with  AMP.  Under the order, AMP will
   investigate the type and extent of contamination at the site and identify
   alternatives for remedial action.

                           Terry Township, Pennsylvania

      Conditions at listing  (June 1988);  Bell Landfill covers 33 acres
  northeast of New Albany  in Terry Township,  Bradford County, Pennsylvania.
  Prior to 1970, the privately  owned and  operated site served primarily as an
  open dump for municipal  trash.  The  Pennsylvania Department of Environmental
  Resources  (PA DER) began inspecting  the site in 1977 and in 1978 permitted an
  asphalt-lined portion of the  fill  to accept ferric hydroxide sludge from GTE
  Sylvania Products Corp.'s  Towanda  plant. During 1979-81, the plant disposed of
  8,226 tons of the sludge into the  lined portion of the fill.  After numerous
  permit violations due to improper  cover material and inadequate leachate
  collection, PA DER closed  the site in 1982.  The former owner/operator's estate
  had the disposal areas partially covered with soil.

      In 1984, EPA detected  barium in  a private well near the site.   An
  estimated  800 people use private wells  within 3 miles of the site for drinking
  water.  Also in 1984, EPA  observed leachate seeping from the site into an
  unnamed tributary to Sugar Run, which is used for recreational activities
  within 3 miles downstream  of  the site.   According to EPA,  the leachate
  contained  high levels of numerous  organic pollutants,  including aromatics,
  chlorinated aliphatics,  Jcetones, and phthalates,  and inorganics, including
  barium, cadmium, lead, and zinc.   Trichloroethylene and heavy metals were
  found in an on-site pond used for  watering  farm animals.

      The site  is unfenced.   Thus, people and animals can come into  direct
  contact with hazardous  substances.

      Status (August  1989);  EPA is conducting a search to identify parties

                          Spring Township, Pennsylvania

      Conditions at listing  (June 1988):  Berks landfill is in Spring Tcwnship/
  Berks County, Pennsylvania.  The site consists of two unlined landfills:  an
  active 43-acre unit and an inactive 17-acre unit.  The owner started operating
  the now inactive unit in the 1960s.   Starting  in 1979, Stabatrol Corp.
  operated within the unit,  disposing stabilized alkali sludges with approval of
  the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources (PA DER).  In 1975,
  PA DER granted a permit to discharge treated leachate from the landfill's
  leachate collection system into an adjacent stream.  PA DER halted the
  discharges in 1979 because of violations of water quality standards.  In
  1980, PA DER suspended its approval for Stabatrol to stabilize sludges due to
  inadequate storage methods, which  stopped  all  operations on the 17-acre site.

      The 43-acre active landfill received a solid waste permit from PA DER in
  May 1975 to  accept municipal refuse and demolition debris.  A leachate
  collection system discharges to four surface impoundments (three of which were
  unlined until 1986).  The leachate is transported off-site to a treatment
  plant. A new owner  acquired the site in 1984.   In 1986, PA DER temporarily
  closed the landfill.  Final closure was completed in 1988.

      Analyses conducted in 1985 by  EPA and  PA DER detected 1,2-
  dichloroethylene, vinyl  chloride,  trichloroethylene,  benzene,  and manganese in
  an on-site monitoring well and  in  a private well downgradient of the site. An
  estimated 26,500 residents use  private  and public wells within 3 miles of the
  site for drinking water.

       The site is unfenced, making it possible for people and animals to come
   into direct contact with hazardous substances  in the impoundments.

                     Lower Providence Township, Pennsylvania

      Conditions at listing  (January 1987); The|Commodore Semiconductor Group
  Site covers about 10 acres in the Valley Forge Corporate Center in Lower
  Providence Township, Montgomery County,  Pennsylvania.  Commodore manufactures
  computers, calculators, and various electronic components on property rented
  from Valley Forge Corporate Center.

      Waste solvents, including trichloroethylene (TOE), were stored in an
  underground concrete storage  tank on-site until 1974, when it was taken  out of
  service.  A steel tank was then installed.   Inspections conducted by the
  Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources (PA DER)  indicate both
  tanks have leaked.

      According  to tests conducted  by EPA,  PA DER, and Commodore, soils and
  ground water both on and off  the  site have been contaminated with TCE, 1,1-
  dichloroethylene, trans-l,2-dichloroethylene, and 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane.
  Two public water supply wells of  the Audubon Water Co., which serves 6,300
  people, were taken  out of  service in 1979 due to contamination.  Approximately
  840,000 people draw drinking  water from wells into the contaminated aquifer
  within 3 miles of the site.

      In 1979, Commodore started  investigations and cleanup actions at the
  site.  The company  has excavated  soils and pumped water from a contaminated
  well, then sprayed  it onto fields.  The volatile solvents dissipate into the
  air.  Since February 1984, an air stripper, which is more efficient at
  removing the solvents, has been in use.

       Status (August  1989);  In  July 1988,  Commodore Business Machines,  Inc.,
  parent company of Commodore Semiconductor Group, and EPA signed an

                               Woman, Pennsylvania

      Conditions at listing  (June 1986);  CryoChem,  Inc., has operated a metals-
  fabrication facility on a  19-acre  site  in Worman,  Berks County, Pennsylvania,
  from 1962 to the present.  The  facility is  composed of several production and
  storage buildings and an office complex situated at the lower portion of the
  property.  The company uses  solvents to clean finished metal parts.  Any
  excess solvent is collected  in  shop drains.  Prior to 1982, the company used
  about one 55-gallon drum of  1,1,1-trichloroethane per year for 3 or 4 years
  and allowed the shop drain system  to discharge into nearby surface waters that
  lead to Manatawny Creek.

      In August 1981, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources
  (PA DER), acting on complaints  of  area  residents,  began sampling residential
  wells.  Analysis of nine wells  downgradient of the site detected chlorinated
  solvents, including 1,1,1-trichloroethane.   In June 1982,  PA DER detected up
  to 270 parts per billion  (ppb)  of  1,1,1-trichloroethane on-site in an unnamed
  tributary to Ironstone Creek, which is  used for fishing.  As a result of this
  discharge, PA DER notified the  company  that it was in violation of the
  Pennsylvania Clean  Streams law. PA DER also recommended that the company
  discontinue the use of 1,1,1-trichloroethane,  clean out the drain system,  and
  properly dispose of all contaminated materials. The company complied with the
  recommendations.

      Since the original sampling, PA DER has extensively sampled residential
  wells located near  and mostly downgradient  of the  site.  Concentrations of
  1,1,1-trichloroethane were high, generally  ranging from 0  to 180 ppb;  one
  sample measured 600 ppb.

       PA DER notified the affected residents  of the  contamination.   Some
  citizens have chosen to purchase bottled water or are filtering tap water at
  their own expense.  An estimated 1,500  people are  served by wells within
   3 miles of the site.

       Status (August 1989);  EPA is conducting a remedial investigation/
   feasibility study  (RI/FS)  to determine  the  type and extent of contamination at
   the site and identify alternatives for  remedial action.  The RI/PB report  is
   scheduled to be issued in the fall of 1989.  A focused FS  covering alternate
   water supply for the affected residences was open to public comment in July-
   August 1989.

                              Hometown, Pennsylvania

      Conditions at listing (June 1986);  The Eastern Diversified Metals Site
  covers about 25 acres in  Hometown,  Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania.  From 1966
  to 1977, the company disposed of an estimated 157 million pounds of "fluff"
  (plastic waste insulation material)  from recycling of copper wire in an open
  pile 60 feet high covering an area 500  by  3,000 feet.  The Pennsylvania
  Department of Environmental Resources (PA  DER)  found that the waste pile was
  producing phenolic  leachate.  In 1974,  as  a result of a Consent Agreement with
  PA DER, the company installed a waste water treatment plant, diversion
  ditches, and an interceptor that diverts shallow ground water to the treatment
  plant. The surface  impoundment  associated  with the waste water treatment plant
  sometimes overflows into  a tributary to the Little Schuylkill River,  which is
  used for trout fishing within 3 miles downstream of the site.

      Sludge from the waste water treatment  plant was disposed of on top of the
  waste pile until 1983, when PA  DER issued  a Notice of Violation to the
  company.  The  sludge  is now taken  to a  hazardous waste disposal facility
  regulated under Subtitle  C  of the  Resource Conservation and Recovery Act.

      The site is underlain by  Mauch Chunk,  one of the most important water-
  bearing formations  in northeastern Pennsylvania. About 1,400  people are
  served  by wells that  are  within 3  miles of the site and draw on the Mauch
  Chunk Formation.

  and identify alternatives for remedial  action.   The RE included analysis of
  air,  surface and subsurface soils,  surface water (including bioassay tests),
  stream bed sediments, ground  water,  and the waste pile.   No contaminants were
  found in air.  However, organic and inorganic contaminants were found in soil
  and water samples.  Draft RI/FS reports are scheduled to be submitted to EPA
  by the end of  1989.

                              Maitland, Pennsylvania

      Conditions at listing  (June 1988); The Jacks Creek/Sitkin Smelting  &
  Refining, Inc., Site is in Maitland in a rural/farming area of Mifflin
  County,  Pennsylvania.  Approximately 143,000 tons of ball mill tailings
  containing lead and other  heavy metals are stockpiled adjacent to the creek on
  115 acres formerly owned by Sitkin.

      In 1984, EPA detected  PCBs  in soil on  the property and lead and PCBs
  (Aroclors 1248 and 1254) in Jacks Creek, which  is used for recreational
  activities within 3 miles  downstream of  the  site.  Preliminary results
  indicate that  lead may be  present in on-site ground water.  The acidity of
  on-site soils may enhance  the movement of  lead,  which ordinarily does not
  leach substantially into ground water.   The  Tonoloway, Keyser, Old Port, and
  Onondaga Formations provide water to private wells within 3 miles of the site,
  serving an estimated  1,000 people.

      The site is not completely  fenced, making it possible for people and
  animals to come into  direct contact with hazardous substances.

      Sitkin closed in  1977  when  it declared bankruptcy. Joseph Krentzman and
  Sons, Inc.,  purchased part of the Sitkin property for a scrapyard.   dT Corp.
  and the Alabama Bankruptcy Court  own the remainder.

      Krentzman has submitted a proposal to  the Pennsylvania Department of
  Environmental  Resources to remove the PCB-contaminated soil and encapsulate it
  elsewhere on the site.  The company also planned to dismantle the smelters and
  arrange for proper disposal.  However, the company never carried out the
  proposed actions.

      This mining site is potentially eligible for cleanup funds from the  State
   of Pennsylvania's approved program under the Surface Mining Control and

                        Warminister Township, Pennsylvania

      Conditions at listing  (June 1986);  The Naval Air Development Center
  (NADC) covers 734 acres in Warminster Township,  Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
  NADC was commissioned in 1944.  Its main mission is research, development,
  testing, and evaluation for naval  aircraft systems.  The center also conducts
  studies in antisubmarine warfare systems and software development.

      Waste-generating activities include aircraft maintenance and repair, pest
  control, fire-fighting training, machine and plating shop operations, spray
  painting, and various materials research and testing activities in NADC
  laboratories.  Wastes generated include paints,  solvents, industrial waste
  water treatment sludge, and waste  oils.  Eight waste areas covering more than
  2 acres are included in this  NFL site.

      Navy contractors detected 1,1-dichloroethane,  chromium,  and nickel in
  ground water on the base.  No significant  contamination was detected in nearby
  surface water.  The waste  areas potentially affect the Stockton Formation
  aquifer, which provides water for  over  100,000 persons within 3 miles of the
  site.  Local surface water bodies  are used for recreation and industrial
  purposes.

      NADC is participating  in  the Installation Restoration Program,
  established in 1978.  Under this program,  the Department of Defense seeks to
  identify,  investigate, and clean up contamination from hazardous materials.
  The Navy has completed Phase  I  (records search)  and Phase II (confirmation
  study).  As part of these  efforts,  NADC's  contractor installed monitoring
  wells and  completed a ground  water quality study.  Ground water continues to be
  monitored.

      Conditions at listing  (January 1987): The/ North Perm - Area 2 Site is in
  Hatfield, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania.   The site was originally proposed
  under the name "Ametek, Inc.  (Hunter Spring Division)."

      The site has been renamed because the contamination may be caused by
  sources in addition to that identified  in the original name.  This site is one
  of six sites involving North Perm  Water Authority (NPWA) wells that supply
  drinking water to people living northwest of Philadelphia.  Six additional
  areas with contaminated ground  water are under investigation.

      Ametek, Inc. 's Hunter  Spring Division manufactured precision springs,
  reels, and measuring and controlling apparatus on an 8-acre site in Hatfield.
  The facility used trichloroethylene  (TCE) as a degreasing solvent. The
  facility ceased operation  in  1986.  The property has since been sold to Penn
  Color, Inc.

      In March 1980, NPVJA detected TCE and 1,1-dichloroethylene in on-site and
  downgradient wells.  Background wells contained neither contaminant.   An
  estimated 69,700 people obtain  drinking water from public and private wells
  within 3 miles of the  facility.

      Status (August  1989):  Ametek took measures to clean up several areas of

                      South Whitehall Township, Pennsylvania

      Conditions at listing (January 1987);  Novak Sanitary Landfill covers
  approximately 60 acres in South Whitehall  Township, Lehigh County,
  Pennsylvania. The area is primarily rural  with several farms and quarries
  near the landfill. The privately-owned landfill started operating in the mid-
  1950s.  Initially, wastes were disposed in an abandoned quarry on the site.
  Later, the landfill began accepting municipal and industrial wastes using
  surface and trench fill methods.

      In 1980, a new phase  began when the first of five trenches was excavated.
  Disposal in these trenches was under a solid waste permit from the
  Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources (PA DER).  PA DER closed the
  landfill in December 1984.  General Electric Co.  notified EPA,  as required by
  CERdA Section 103 (c), that its Allentown,  Pennsylvania,  plant had sent
  electroplating wastes containing heavy metals and organic wastes,  including
  spent solvents, to the landfill.   According to PA DER,  other industrial
  clients of the landfill include Tyler  Pipe Co., Tarkett Corp.,  Western
  Electric,  and Caloric Corp.

      Monitoring wells on the site are contaminated with a  variety of organic
  and inorganic chemicals,  including tetrachloroethylene, toluene, 1,1-
  dichloroethane, and barium, according  to EPA tests conducted  in 1985.  A
  private well 1,200  feet southwest  of the landfill boundary is similarly
  contaminated, according to EPA and PA  DER.   The landfill  is in  a limestone
  region that is very susceptible to ground water contamination and migration of
  contaminants.  An estimated 17,300 people draw drinking water from public and
  private wells within 3 miles  of the site.   In January 1985, South Whitehall
  Township  extended its water line to two residences near the landfill because
  a well sampled by EPA contained organic and inorganic contaminants
  attributable to the landfill.

      According  to  an EPA inspection in  June 1985,  a ditch  encircling the site
  diverts run-off and leachate  into  an on-site pond.  The diversion ditch and
  pond are  not properly engineered,  and  the landfill is not adequately covered.
  Hence, surface water in the area is threatened. Jordan Creek within 3 miles
  downstream of the site is used for recreational activities.

       Status (August  1989); Under a  CERCIA Section  106 Administrative Order on
  Consent dated  December 31,  1988, 16 parties associated with wastes at the
  site agreed to conduct a  remedial  investigation/feasibility study to determine
  the type  and extent of contamination at the site  and  identify alternatives for
  remedial  action.

                     Lower Pottsgrove Township, Pennsylvania

      Conditions at listing  (June 1988):  The Occidental Chemical
  Corp./Firestone Tire & Rubber Co.  Site  is  in Lower Pottsgrove Township,
  Montgomery County, Pennsylvania.   Occidental has manufactured plastic resins
  such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC) at the facility since 1980, when it purchased
  the site from Firestone Tire  &  Rubber Co.   Firestone had produced both PVC and
  tires on the site since 1945.

      Both companies disposed of  their  waste on approximately 23 acres of the
  250-acre property.  The disposal area consists of an inactive 17-acre
  landfill, an active 6-acre landfill,  four  inactive seepage lagoons, and two
  active lined lagoons.  The four seepage lagoons received PVC waste during
  1945-74.  The sludge from  the lagoons was  periodically removed and disposed in
  the now inactive 17-acre landfill. In  1973, the Pennsylvania Department of
  Environmental Resources  (PA DER) issued a  permit to Firestone to operate the
  17 acres as a sanitary landfill.   In  1985,  Occidental closed it under a PA DER
  closure plan: the landfill was  capped with a plastic cover,  2 feet of earth
  and topsoil, then seeded.

      Currently,  PVC waste is pretreated  and the effluent discharged to the
  municipal sanitary  sewer system.   Most  of  the sludge goes to the active
  landfill, with  the  remainder going to the  two lined lagoons,  which were
  constructed  in  1974.

      Trichloroethylene, trans-l,2-dichloroethylene,  and vinyl chloride were
  detected in on-site wells  in tests conducted in 1985 by EPA.   An estimated
  14,500 people obtain drinking water from public and private wells within
  3 miles of the site.

       The site is in the floodplain of  the Schuylkill River, which is used for
  recreational activities within 3 miles  downstream of the site.

       EPA has conducted a search to identify parties potentially responsible
   for wastes associated with the site.

       Status (August 1989);  Occidental  has submitted a proposal to EPA to
   conduct a remedial investigation/feasibility study to determine the type and
   extent of contamination at the site and identify alternatives for remedial
   action.

       Since 1976, Occidental has been pumping ground water to the surface,
   treating it to remove the contaminants, and reusing the treated water for
   processing purposes.

                            Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

     rnnriitinns at  listing (May 19891: The Publicker Industries Inc. Site
  occupies  37 acres along the Delaware River, adjacent to the Walt Whitman
  Bridge  in southeast Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  From the early 1900s  until
  1986, the facility produced various alcohols by fermentation and distillation.
  As production declined in the late 1970s, the cpnpany used some of its tanks
  to store  fuel oils for other companies.  In 1986, Overland Corp. purchased the
  facility.  Shortly after starting demolition operations, Overland declared
  bankruptcy and ah^nrton**^ the facility.  A bankruptcy trustee was appointed for
  the estate of Overland Corp. in February 1987.

     When Overland abandoned the site, it contained over 400 tanks, rail cars,
  and tank  cars holding approximately 2 million gallons of hazardous materials;
  approximately 1,200 drums; four chemical laboratories with an estimated 7,000
  containers of known content (including acids, explosive compounds, and
  flamrable compounds) and 5,000 containers of unknown content; 180 cylinders
  holding toxic,  flammable, and reactive gases; 150 pieces of electrical
  equipment,  some containing PCBs; several hundred miles of above- and
  below-ground transfer lines, some covered with asbestos; reaction vessels;
  production buildings; and two power houses.  Mast of the vessels and transfer
   lines apparently held hazardous materials and were leaking or in disrepair  due
   to neglect or vandalism.  Security measures were inadequate.

      In June 1987, a portion of the facility was destroyed in a nultialarm fire
   during which numerous explosions and fire flares were reported.  On September
   4, 1987, EPA and Publicker entered into a Consent Order under CERCtA Section
   106.  From then until December 7, 1987, when EPA initiated a removal action,
   the company conducted a site assessment under the order.

      The removal action significantly stabilized conditions by addressing the
   fire and explosion threats on the surface.  Wherever possible, solid and
   liquid waste streams were bulked and stored on-site for future disposal.
   Highly reactive  laboratory wastes and gas cylinders were transported to
   facilities regulated under  the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act  (RCRA).
   To date, EPA has spent  $6.5 million in CERdA emergency funds.

      Shallow on-site ground water  is contaminated with toluene, according to
   tests  conducted  in 1986 by a contractor to a subsidiary of Overland Corp.   In
   May  1988, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources found toluene
   and xylene in deep on-site ground water in the Raritan-Magothy Aquifer.  An
   estimated 184,000 people obtain  drinking water from public wells drawing from
   this aquifer within 3 miles of the  site, the nearest within 1.4 miles.

       One Delaware River is used for recreational activities within 3 miles
    downstream of  the site.  Tides caning into the river can carry contaminants
    into Delaware Bay.  One peregrine falcon, designated as an endangered  species
    by the U.S.  Fish and Wildlife Service, nests on the Walt Whitman Bridge.

       In January 1988, EPA detected n-butylchloride in routine air monitoring at
    the site.  The contaninant was traced to a  leaking tank holding the
    chemicals. An estimated 3,600 people live within l mile of the site.

       Cn July 7.  1988, EBV and Bruga Corp. entered into a Consent Order under
    CERCLA Section 106.  Under the order,  Bruga is dismantling and
    decontaminating personal property in two portions of the site it had
    purchased from the estate in bankruptcy.

       On Decaitoer 8, 1988, EHV and AAA Warehousing, Inc., entered  into a  CERCLA
    Section 106 Consent Order,  under the order, AAA is renewing some stainless
    steel tanks and rail tank cars it owned from the site.

       status (August 1989): In September 1989,  EPA will  start a remedial  action
    to further stabilize site conditions.   This action will eliminate the
    continued threat of fire and/or explosion at the site by removing
    approximately 1 million gallons of bulked hazardous/ignitable waste from the
    above-ground process lines.  The aiptied lines will be dismantled, and pipe
    insulation materials,  such as asbestos-containing materials, will be properly
    packaged and stored on-site for future disposal.  All bulked and process line
    waste streams will be  treated/disposed off-site at RCRA-regulated facilities.
    A 24-hour fire and security watch continues at the site.

                              Hatboro, Pennsylvania

      Conditions at listing  (June 1988); The Raymark site covers 7 acres on
  Jacksonville Road in the Borough of Hatboro,  Montgomery County, Pennsylvania.
  Penn Rivet and Machine Co. owned the facility from 1947 until sometime before
  1954.  A series of name changes, mergers,  incorporations,  and title
  conveyances have occurred since 1954.  In  1981,  Telford Industrial Development
  Authority purchased the site  from Milford  Rivet and Machine Co.,  now known as
  Raymark Formed Products Co.   Ihe present operator,  Penn Fasteners, Inc., has
  manufactured rivets and fasteners at the site since 1980.

      During 1948-72, treated wastes and untreated waste water from plating and
  degreasing operations were disposed in four unlined lagoons on-site. In 1972,
  the accumulated sludge was removed and the lagoons were filled in with clean
  fill and berm material.  During the same period, trichloroethylene (TCE)  was
  stored in outdoor aboveground tanks.   Penn Fasteners has contended that TCE is
  no longer used at the.facility-  Building  drains also are  a suspected major
  source of existing soil contamination.

      Since  1979, eight Hatboro Water Authority wells near the site have been
  contaminated with TCE.  They  have been taken  out of service or equipped with
  treatment  systems.  The Raymark Site has been identified as a source of
  contamination  of the Stockton Aquifer, which  supplies drinking water to
  approximately  921,100 people  via public  and private wells  within  3 miles  of
  the site.

       In the most recent sampling  (1986),  EPA detected up to 3.1 million
  micrograms per kilogram of TCE in on-site  soil.   Wells within 250 feet of the
  site are contaminated with TCE ranging from 14 to 8,600 micrograms per liter.
  Up to 900 micrograms per liter of 1,2-dichloroethylene have been  detected in
  monitoring wells  in the vicinity of the  site.

       The nearest surface water, Pennypack Creek,  is approximately  6,800 feet
  downslqpe of the  site.   It is used for recreational activities.

       In 1985,  the United States brought suit against present and past owners
  of the site - including Raymark Industries, Inc., Raymark  Formed  Products Co.,
  and Perm Fasteners,  Inc.  - under Section 7003 of the Resource Conservation and
  Recovery Act and Section 106  of CERCIA.  A trial was held  in 1987.

       Status (August 1989);  In  February  1989, EPA and the Hatboro Water
  Authority entered into a Consent Decree  with  the Raymark defendants.   The
  decree calls for them to provide $1.12 million to EPA and  Hatboro.

       EPA is preparing plans for a remedial  investigation/feasibility study to
   determine the type and extent of contamination at the site and identify
   alternatives for remedial action.  In  conformance with the Consent Decree,
   Hatboro is designing a system to pump  ground  water to the  surface and treat  it
   to remove contaminants.

                       East Coventry Township, Pennsylvania

      Conditions at listing  (June  1988) :  The Reqrticon/Allied Steel Corp. Site
  covers 5 acres on Route 724 and  Wells Road in East Coventry Township, Chester
  County, Pennsylvania.  The area  is primarily residential.  As early as 1979,
  the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources (PA DER) detected
  trichloroethylene (TCE) in ground water in the region.  Others have verified
  the contamination since then.

      Recticon, a subsidiary of Rockwell  International, manufactured silicon
  wafers during 1974-81.  In 1980, a Recticon contractor found TCE in Recticon
  plant drain lines, in sludge trapped within buried waste lines, and in soils.
  In May 1981, Recticon removed contaminated soil and transported it to a
  hazardous waste facility regulated under Subtitle C of the Resource
  Conservation and Recovery  Act  (RCRA) .   Recticon and PA DER entered into a
  Consent Order and Agreement in October  1981 under which Recticon agreed to
  pump and treat ground water.  The subsequent pumping and treatment,  however,
  have had little effect on  the contamination problem.

      Since 1972, Allied Steel Corp. has  fabricated steel on a property 100
  feet to the southeast of Recticon. Previous owners of the property did not
  use the facility for steel fabrication.  In 1984,  an Allied contractor
  determined that leakage in the area of  Allied 's compressor room had released
  TCE to the ground.   Also,  high levels of TCE were found in Allied's  on-site
  well.

      An estimated 17,300 people obtain drinking water from Citizen's Home
  Utility Water Co. wells and private wells within 3 miles  of the site.  Run-off
  from the site reaches the  Schuylkill River 2,400 feet downstream of the site.
  Citizen's Home Utility Water Co. maintains a water intake 3,100 feet
  downstream of the site.  The company blends water from the river with that
  from the wells to serve its 11,500 customers.

      The facility is  being  proposed for  the NPL because it is classified as a
  "protective  filer" under Subtitle C of  RCRA and so is not subject to Subtitle
  C corrective action  authorities.

      Status  f September 1988) ; EPA is conducting a search to identify parties
  potentially  responsible for wastes associated with the site and will then
  negotiate with them  to conduct a remedial investigation/feasibility study to
  determine the type and extent of contamination and identify alternatives  for
  remedial action.

      Status  f August 1989) ;  EPA received  no comments on this site and so has
  placed it on the NPL.

                             Hermitage, Pennsylvania

      Conditions at listing  (January 1987); River Road landfill cavers
  approximately 102 acres in Hermitage and South Pymatuning, Mercer County,
  Pennsylvania.  It is owned by Waste Management of Pennsylvania, Inc., a
  subsidiary of Waste Management, Inc.  The landfill has operated since 1962 as
  a sanitary landfill, accepting  industrial,  residential, and an unknown
  quantity of hazardous wastes.   In  1984,  it  received a State permit to dispose
  of solid waste.

      According to tests conducted in 1980 by a consultant to Waste Management,
  sludge disposed at the site contained PCBs.

      In June 1985, EPA detected  PCBs in sediments in a diversion ditch that
  discharges to the Shenango River.  The ditch collected run-off from the
  landfill.  The Shenango Valley  Water Co. and Masury Water Co.  draw water for
  approximately 75,000  customers  at  a point 2 miles downstream of the landfill.
  EPA also detected chloroethane  and 1,1-dichloroethane in wells on and off the
  site.

      The site is not completely  fenced, making it possible for people and
  animals to come into  direct contact with hazardous substances in the
  diversion ditch.

      Status  (August 1989);  In 1987, Waste Management closed the landfill  under
  a plan approved by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources.
  The plan included installing a  cap on the landfill, an updated leachate
  collection system,  erosion and  sedimentation controls,  revegetation,  and
   fencing.

      After conducting a search for parties potentially responsible for wastes
   associated with the site in May 1989, EPA sent Notice Letters to several.  EPA
   is investigating the possibility that they  will conduct a remedial
   investigation/feasibility study to determine the type and extent of
   contamination at the site and identify alternatives for remedial action.

                            Nesquehoning, Pennsylvania

      Conditions at listing (June 1988);  TonolljL Corp.  operated on a 20-acre
  site along Route 54 in Nesquehoning,  Carbon County/ Pennsylvania, from  1974  to
  1985.  One site is a valley in  a sparsely populated area.  Tonolli recycled
  lead batteries, which involved  crushing the batteries and recovering lead and
  plastic materials. In October 1985, Tonolli filed for bankruptcy under  Chapter
  11 of the Federal bankruptcy  code.

      On the site at present are  a lined landfill containing approximately
  84,700 cubic yards of waste and a  surface impoundment for storing contaminated
  water from plant operations (for example, process water from the battery
  crushing and separation operation).   Occasionally, liquid from the impoundment
  has found its way into the landfill.   The impoundment holds waste water
  containing arsenic, cadmium,  lead, and chromium,  according to EPA tests
  conducted in 1984 and 1987.

      In 1985, a consultant to  Tonolli  and the Pennsylvania Department of
  Environmental  Resources  (PA DER) detected arsenic and cadmium in on-site
  monitoring wells.  An estimated 13,000 people obtain  drinking water from
  Lansford/Coaldale Joint Water Authority wells within  3 miles of the site.
  The nearest well is within 1  mile.

      Tonolli's  1985 tests  revealed  arsenic,  cadmium, and lead in Nesquehoning
  Creek, which is within 3  miles  downstream of the site.

       In June 1988, EPA used CERCIA  emergency funds to  start a removal action
  involving treating waste  water  in  the impoundment and a holding tank and
  returning the  treated water to  Nesquehoning Creek.  The action is still
  underway.

       On November 18,  1980, Tonolli  acquired  Interim Status under Subtitle C of
  the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act  (RCRA) when it filed a
  Notification of Hazardous Waste Activity and Part A of a permit application
  for a landfill and a surface  impoundment.   On June 6,  1985,  Tonolli submitted
  a revised Part A.  This RCRA-related  site is being proposed for the NPL
  because it  satisfies a component of EPA's NPI/RCRA policy:   the owner has
  demonstrated inability to finance  appropriate remedial  action by invoking
  bankruptcy  laws.

       Status  (August  1989); EPA has  identified approximately 400 parties
  potentially responsible for wastes associated with the  site.  The search for
  potentially responsible parties (PRPs)  continues.  EPA  is investigating the
  possibility of the  PRPs conducting a  remedial investigation/feasibility study
  to determine the type and extent of contamination at the site and identify
  alternatives for remedial action.

                             Sabana Seca, Puerto Rico

      Conditions at listing  (June 1988);  Naval Security Group Activity is a
  conraunications station on the north coast of Puerto Rico approximately  11
  miles west of San Juan, adjacent to the Village of Sabana Seca, Municipality
  of Toa Baja.  The station encompasses over 2,200 acres divided into the North
  and South Tracts.  The San  Pedro Marsh, a large coastal wetland, is within
  1,000 feet of both tracts.

      From the early 1950s through 1970,  the station's Public Works Department
  deposited all waste generated at the station in various areas on the South
  Tract.  Materials disposed  of included paints,  solvents, waste oil, and
  battery acid.  In addition, part of the South Tract served as the Pest
  Control Shop from the mid-1950s through 1979.  During this time,  various
  pesticides, including DDT,  lindane,  chlordane,  2,4-D,  and sevin,  were spilled
  in and around the shop building.   Pesticides were mixed and application
  equipment  cleaned in  a sink outside the shop.  The sink discharged directly to
  the ground.

      Soil samples taken near the shop had  elevated concentrations  of arsenic,
  lead, and  chlordane in tests  conducted in 1984.   Soil  contaminants could
  migrate via surface water through  a drainage ditch to  the marsh during
  periods of rainfall.  The contaminants could migrate to ground water through
  the fractured  limestone bedrock, then to the marshy areas to the  northwest and
  eventually into the sea.  An  estimated 47,000 persons  living in and around the
  station use public wells within 3  miles of the  site as a partial  source  of
  drinking water.

      The Puerto Rican  boa, designated by the U.S.  Fish  and Wildlife  Service as
  an endangered species, has  been sighted in numerous locations on  the station.
  The boa is known to feed in the subtropical environment offered by  the
  station.   Surface water within  3 miles downstream of the shop is  used for
  recreational  fishing.

      The station is  participating in the Installation Restoration  Program,
  established in 1978.  Under this program,  the Department of Defense seeks to
   identify,  investigate, and clean up contamination from hazardous materials.
  The Navy  has  completed Phase  I  (records search).   Phase II (confirmation
   study) is underway.

       Status (August  1989); The Navy has completed two rounds of sampling.  A
  third round will be conducted to characterize the area around the Pest
   Control Shop.

                          South Kingstown, Rhode Island

      Conditions at listing  (June  1988);  The Rose Hill Regional landfill covers
  70 acres in South Kingstown,  Washington County,  Rhode Island.  The landfill
  was operated by the town on land that it owned or leased.  Prior to its use as
  a landfill, the land was a sand  and gravel operation.  During 1967-83,
  domestic and industrial wastes were disposed in three areas at the Rose Hill
  Regional Landfill:  a solid waste  landfill,  a bulky waste disposal area, and a
  sewage sludge landfill.  The  three disposal areas were closed in 1983,
  partially capped with soil, and  graded.  A transfer station for municipal
  refuse is currently operated  on-site.

      On-site monitoring wells  contain  several volatile organic compounds,
  including trans-l,2-dichloroethylene, chloroform,  benzene,  1,1-dichloroethane,
  and xylenes, according to tests  conducted  by South Kingstown in 1982.   Three
  private wells adjacent to the site are  also contaminated with low levels of
  organic compounds, as is on-site soil.  An estimated 17,300 people obtain
  drinking water  from wells within 3 miles of the site.   The  population  includes
  people served by the University  of Rhode Island and the Kingston  District
  supply wells.

      In 1985, the Town of South Kingstown Utilities Department extended the
  municipal water line to nearby residents with contaminated  wells.

      The site is on Rose Hill  Road  and is bordered  by the Saugatucket River
  and residential areas.  Mitchel  Brook flows through the site and joins the
  river.  Saugatucket Pond, 2,000  feet  downstream, is used for fishing and

  1980, local industries were allowed to dispose of their waste, which included
  asbestos, at this landfill.  Adjacent to the county landfill are the old Cayce
  Dump, which was in operation during the  1960s,  and the old Bray Park Dump,
  which was an unpermitted dump used prior to 1972.

      In 1987, EPA found arsenic, cadmium, mercury,  selenium,  and 2,4-D in
  on-site monitoring wells.  An estimated  6,200  people obtain drinking water
  from public and private wells within  3 miles of the site.  A local resident
  had to abandon his contaminated well  which tapped a shallow aquifer.   The
  shallow and deeper aquifers are hydraulically  connected, so that  water can
  move between them.  Approximately 250 acres of farmland are  irrigated by a

                          Travelers Rest, South Carolina

      Conditions at listing (June 1986);  The Rochester Property covers about
  2 acres in Travelers Rest,  a rural area in Greenville County, South Carolina.
  In 1971-72, the property owner  permitted liquid industrial wastes containing
  volatile organic chemicals and  arsenic to be buried in four 10-foot deep
  trenches in what had been farmland.

      The wastes came from Polymer  Industries of Greenville, South Carolina,
  according to the South  Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control
   (SCEHEC).  During an inspection in September 1982, the State observed wastes
  seeping out of the  ground.

      In November 1984, SCDHEC detected arsenic and volatile organic chemicals,
   including  trichlorofluoramethane, in on-site soils.   Site soils are quite
  permeable.  Thus, contaminants  can move into ground water, which occurs at
  depths of  10  feet and is the source of drinking water for about 1,000 people

                              Waynesboro,  Tennessee

      Conditions at listing  (January 1987); Mallory Capacitor Co. formerly
 manufactured electrical capacitors on an 8.5-acre site in a small residential
 community in Waynesboro, Wayne County, Tennessee.  The site is in the
 floodplain of the Green River.

      This facility/ a former shoe factory, was purchased by P.R. Mallory and
 Co. Inc., in 1968.  In 1969, the company, now known as Mallory Capacitor Co.,
 began to manufacture capacitors  using PCBs  as a dielectric fluid. In 1978,
 Mallory switched to dioctyl phthalate as a  dielectric fluid. Dart Industries,
  Inc., acquired Mallory Capacitor Co.  in  early 1979 and sold it later in the
 year to Ettihart Industries, Inc.  As part of the sales agreement with Emhart,
  certain PCB wastes, a buried tank,  and contaminated soil were removed from the
  site and sent to an EPA-regulated  disposal  facility.  In 1980,  Mallory changed
  its name to Duracell International, Inc.

      PCBs entered the environment through spills,  leaks,  and intentional
  discharges, according to investigations  conducted by EPA.  On July 31,  1984,
  the plant voluntarily closed because  of  the discovery of PCB contamination
  throughout the site.

      In 1985, tests conducted by  EPA,  Mallory,  and its contractors detected
  PCBs in on-site sand and off-site  wells  downgradient of the site.  An
  estimated 900 people obtain drinking  water  from wells and springs within
  3 miles of the site.  Sediments  downstream  from the site also contain PCBs,
  according to Mallory.  Surface water  within 3  miles downstream  of the site is
  vised for fishing and swimming.

       Status (August  1989);  On February 18, 1988, EPA and Duracell
  International,  Inc., signed a Consent Order under CERCLA Section  104, 106(a),
  and 122(d).  Under the order, Duracell removed approximately 17,700 tons of
  PCB-contaminated soils and concrete debris,  and 410 tons of contaminated
  equipment  to an EPA-regulated facility.  The removal was completed in January
  1989.  In  February  1989, the company  started a remedial
  investigation/feasibility  study  to determine the  type and extent of
  contamination  at the site  and identify alternatives for  remedial action.  Soil
  samples were collected at  the site, and  sediment  samples were collected from
  nearby Green River.  Samples were  collected from  33  new  monitoring wells
  installed  on and off the site.   Duracell plans to remove additional
  contaminated soil and collect a  second round of ground water samples.

                            DIXIE OIL PROCESSORS,  INC.
                                Friendswood, Texas

      Conditions at listing (June 1988):  The Dixie oil Processors,  Inc.(DOP)
  Site covers 27 acres along opposite sides of Choate Road in Harris County near
  Friendswood, south of Houston,  Texas.   Throughout its history,  the site has
  had several owner/operators.  In 1978,  DOP,  the most recent operator, began
  converting liquid organic wastes (for example, phenolic tars and  glycol cutter
  stock) generated by various refining,  chemical, and petrochemical facilities
  to creosote, fuel oil extenders,  and other petroleum products.  In 1984, DOP
  removed over 6,000 cubic yards  of soils contaminated with phenolic tars  and
  transported the material to an  approved hazardous waste facility.  Additional
  wastes and contaminated soils remain on-site.  Currently, Dixie stores wastes
  on-site before transporting them off-site for disposal or recycling.

      From approximately  1969 to  1978,  Intercoastal Chemical Co.  (ICC) and Lowe
  Chemical Co.  (LOG) operated on  the site.  On the northern tract (leased from
  LCC), ICC conducted an  olefin washing and copper recovery operation.  ICC
  constructed a  series of lagoons to recover copper from a waste water stream
  produced by LCC.

      JOG Oil Aromatics,  Inc.,  had a similar business that may have operated
  from  early 1975 until  it was sold in 1978 to LCC, the owner of DOP. Buried in
  at least six closed lagoons are accumulated copper sediment and, allegedly,
  500 barrels of a tarry copper catalyst.  Leakage from the ponds has affected
  the quality of shallow ground water to a limited degree.   In 1984, DOP
  detected lead, benzene, toluene,  ethylbenzene, and copper in on-site wells.  An
  estimated  140  people obtain drinking water from shallow public and private
  wells within 3 miles of the site.

      Spills from the copper recovery operation have entered nearby Mud Gully
  and Clear Creek.  A subdivision was recently developed to the north of DOP;  a
  Little League baseball field is adjacent to OOP's southwest property line.
  Both tracts of DOP are contiguous to and southwest of the Brio Refining  Co.,
  Inc., Site, which was  proposed  for the NPL in 1984.   On April 23,  1986,  the
  Brio Task Force signed an amended Administrative Order on Consent  with EPA
  under CERCIA Section  106 to conduct a remedial investigation/feasibility study
  to determine the  type and extent of contamination at the  Brio and  DOP sites
  and identify alternatives for remedial action.

       The facility  is being proposed for the NPL because it is  classified  as a
   "protective filer"  under Subtitle C of the Resource Conservation and Recovery
  Act and so is not subject to Subtitle C corrective action authorities.

       Status (October 1988): A Record of Decision signed on March 31,  1988
  requires a limited action/monitoring remedy.   Major elements  include
   implementing a site management  plan,  monitoring existing wells  on-site,
  monitoring Mud Gulley,  removing all tanks, semiannual air monitoring, and
   securing the site.

       Status (August 1989); EPA received no comments on this  site and so has
  placed it on the  NPL.

                               Salt Lake City, Utah

      Conditions at listing  (May  1989); The Utah Power & light/American Barrel
  Co.  Site covers about 2 acres east of 600 West Street and north of South
  Temple Street in Salt Lake City, Salt Lake  County,  Utah.  The site is in an
  industrialized area, with Union Pacific Railroad property to the west and
  Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad  property to the immediate southeast.  A
  residential area is within 400  feet  to  the  west, and downtown Salt lake City
  within 0.5 mile to the east.

      The property is owned by  Utah  Power & Light (UP&L),  which operated a pole
  and tie creosote treating facility on the land during the early 1900s,
  according to records of the Utah Bureau of  Solid and Hazardous Waste.  From
  the 1950s to 1988, American Barrel Co.  leased the  land  for storing drums.   In
  1986, Meyers Container Corp.  purchased  from American Barrel all drums fit for
  reconditioning and removed them to a recycling plant a block south of the
  site.  Meyers  also purchased  the recycling  plant from American Barrel.

      In mid-1987, an estimated 50,000 mostly empty  55-gallon barrels remained
  on-site, stacked on their sides to heights  up to 20 feet and supported by
  stones on the  ground.  Some drums  still contained wastes,  and soil staining
  suggested that they may have  leaked.

      During 1987-88, American  Barrel  removed the barrels,  emptied the  contents
  into  drums, and transported the materials to  disposal facilities regulated
  under the Resource  Conservation and  Recovery  Act.   In July 1988, EPA  issued a
  CERCXA Section 106  Administrative  Order on  Consent  to secure the site.  The
  site  is now fenced, locked, and posted.

      According  to EPA tests conducted in 1987,  soil  16 feet beneath the site
  and on-site monitoring wells  are contaminated.  Among the compounds in
  shallow ground water are styrene  (attributable to the barrel yard  activities)
  and polyaromatic hydrocarbons and  phenolic  compounds (attributable to the
  creosote operations of the early 1900s).  Shallow ground water is  connected to
  deeper water that within 3 miles of  the site  provides drinking water  to the
  Salt Lake  City Water System,  which serves an  estimated 377,000 people.  An
  additional 4,000 people are served by private wells within the 3-mile radius.

       Status (August  1989); EPA is considering  various alternatives  for the
  site.

                            BUCKINGHAM COUNTY LANDFILL
                               Buckingham, Virginia

      Conditions at listing (April 1985):  The Buckingham County Landfill covers
  8 acnes in a rural area near the town of Buckingham, Buckingham County,
  Virginia. This site was originally proposed for listing under the name "Love's
  Container Service Landfill."

      love's Container Service operated the landfill from 1962 until February
  1982.  In 1972, the Virginia State Health Department issued the facility a
  permit to dispose of municipal waste.  The permit was modified in 1977 to
  allow disposal of chemical wastes generated by the local furniture-making
  industry. In 1979, the portion of the landfill receiving the chemical waste
  was closed.

      In 1981, the facility received Interim Status as a hazardous waste
  disposal facility under Subtitle C of the Resource Conservation and Recovery
  Act  (RCRA) by  filing Part A of a permit  application.  Subsequently,  the
  facility accepted 1,254 drums of used organic solvents and flammable
  liquids/solids.  These wastes were placed in trenches separated from the
  previously closed portion of the site.

      After purchasing the  landfill from Love's Container Service in April
  1982, the county closed the new  portion  in accordance with State regulations
  but not with RCRA Subtitle  C requirements.

      Sampling conducted by EPA in September 1983 indicates that  on-site ground
  water and  off-site  residential wells are contaminated by chromium and
  beryllium. In  early 1985, one residential well was found to be  contaminated.
  About 1,100 people  depend on wells within 3 miles  of the site as a source of
  drinking water.

       Status fJanuary 1986);  On November 8, 1985,  the landfill's  Interim Status
  was terminated under RCRA Section 3005 (e) (2)  because the county had failed to
   submit a Part  B permit application for postclosure monitoring and did not
   certify  compliance  with applicable ground water monitoring and  financial
   responsibility requirements.

       Status (June 1988); EPA is proposing to place  this previously proposed
   RCRA site  on the NPL because it  has lost Interim Status  (and hence authority
   to operate) and because Buckingham County has stated it  is unwilling and
   financially unable  to clean up all the contamination at  the site.

       Status (August  1989); EPA has placed this site on the NPL.

       EPA's plans for 1990  call for:  (1) conducting  a  search for parties
   potentially responsible for wastes associated with the site; and (2) starting
   a remedial investigation/feasibility study to determine the type and extent of
   contamination  at the site and identify alternatives  for  remedial action.

      Conditions at listing  (October 1984):  Since 1976, Culpeper Wood
  Preservers, Inc., has treated wood with a  cihroinated capper arsenate solution
  on a 20-acre site in the outskirts of Culpeper, Culpeper County, Virginia.   In
  February 1981, approximately 100,000 gallons of waste containing significant
  levels of arsenic and chromium  spilled from an impoundment, contaminating
  neighboring surface waters.   In February 1981, EPA issued an Administrative
  Complaint against Culpeper Wood Preservers under Subtitle C of the Resource
  Conservation and Recovery  Act (RCRA).   In  September 1981, the site owner
  agreed to issuance of a Consent Agreement  and Consent Order under RCRA Section
  3008(a), which required certain remedial actions.

      Ground water under  the site is contaminated with arsenic and chromium,
  according to analyses conducted by the State.  About 2,000 people depend on
  the contaminated aquifer within 3 miles of the site for drinking water.

      Status f January 1986); In March 1985,  EPA completed a search for parties
  potentially responsible for wastes associated with the site.   In April 1985,
  EPA issued a Notice Letter informing Jefferson Homebuilders,  Inc.,  of its
  responsibility for operations at the site.

      EPA assessed the need for removal action at the site in July 1985 and
  concluded that a removal  was not warranted at that time.

      Status (June 1988); EPA is  proposing to place this previously proposed
  RCRA site on the NPL.   Die September 1981  Consent Order and Consent Agreement
  under RCRA Section 3008 (a) stated that the facility would be  exempt from
   future RCRA regulation once the specified  remedial actions were taken.   The
   company took the specified actions, and so is not regulated under RCRA
   authorities.   If the facility agrees to clean up the site according to
   Subtitle C corrective action requirements,  EPA would consider removing it from
   the NPL.

       Status (August 1989); EPA has placed this site on the NPL.

       EPA continues to search for potentially responsible parties and in 1990
   plans to investigate the possibility that  those identified will conduct a
   remedial investigation/feasibility study to determine the type and  extent of
   contamination at the site and identify alternatives for remedial  action.

      Conditions at listing  (January 1987); Dixj.e Caverns County Landfill
  covers 27 acnes in Salem, Roanoke  County, Virginia.  Roanoke County operated
  the landfill from 1955 to 1976,  accepting municipal refuse, industrial sludge,
  nonhalogenated solvents, and  other wastes.

      In 1983, EPA observed uncontrolled leachate from the site entering local
  streams.  In subsequent site  investigations,  EPA identified an uncontrolled
  pile of emission control dust from an electric steel furnace. The pile
  consists of an estimated 1,700 cubic yards  of dust.  The dust, which is
  migrating via surface drainage,  contains  high levels of lead and cadmium,
  according to EPA.  Also on-site  are numerous drums and a sludge pit.

      Conditions at the site threaten ground  water and surface water.  An
  estimated 2,100 people draw drinking water  from private wells within 3 miles
  of the site.  Dixie Caverns,  a tourist attraction,  is located 1 mile
  downstream of the site.

      Status  (August 1989): Using  CERCIA emergency funds,  EPA is cleaning up
  the drum disposal area and the sludge pit.  The removal  is nearing completion.
  Cleanup of the dust pile started in August  1989.

      Conditions at listing'  (January 1987): Sauftders Supply Co. has treated
  wood on a site in Chuckatuck, Suffolk County,  Virginia, since 1964.  Fran 1964
  to 1984, the facility used a pentachlorophenol/No.2 Fuel Oil mixture as a wood
  preservative.  Chromated copper arsenate was also used starting in 1974 and is
  still in use.  The spent pentachlorophenol/oil mixture was burned in an
  unlined pit, which resulted in  the generation  of dioxin compounds.

      Tests conducted by EPA in November  1984  detected elevated levels of
  chromium in Godwin's Mill  Pond  Reservoir, a  source of drinking water for over
  30,000 people in Suffolk,  Virginia. A  fresh water wetland is within 1,000
  feet downstream of the point where chromium  was found.  The tests also found
  pentachlorophenol, lead, chromium,  and  arsenic in the Columbia Aquifer, which
  supplies private wells within 3 miles of the site that served over 1,990.  The
  nearest well is approximately 1,900 feet from  the site.

      In  1983, the company excavated some contaminated soil and transported it
  to an EPA-regulated landfill.   A recovery well was drilled,  and contaminated
  ground  water is pumped out of the well  and recycled back into a treatment
  system.

      Status  (August  1989);  EPA is  conducting  a  remedial investigation/
  feasibility study to  determine  the type and  extent of contamination at the
  site and identify alternatives  for remedial  action.  Seven monitoring wells
  have been installed.  All  sampling except ground water has been completed.

      Conditions at listing (June 1988);  The BFI Sanitary Landfill cavers 103
  acres in Rockingham, Windham  County, Vermont, of which 25 acres are now in
  use.  Browning-Ferris Industries,  Inc., of Vermont (BFI) purchased the
  landfill in 1977 from an individual who had started operations in 1968.   In
  September 1983, the State certified the site as a municipal landfill that
  could accept hazardous waste  from small generators.  Industrial wastes,
  including heavy metals,  bases,  pesticides,  and volatile organic compounds,
  were deposited in the unlined disposal  area during 1968-79, according to State
  files.  Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co., Cone and Blanchard Machine Co., and
  Vermont Research Co. are known  to have  deposited process wastes at the
  landfill.

      According to the Vermont  Department of Environmental Conservation
  (VT DEC), nearby residential  and monitoring wells downgradient of the
  landfilling activities have been contaminated since 1979.  Chromium,  lead,
  copper, trans-l,2-^iLchloroethylene, vinyl chloride,  and 2-butanone were
  identified in  1983. More than 4,500 people in Vermont and New Hampshire obtain
  drinking water from public and  private  wells within 3 miles of the landfill.
  Several private wells have been contaminated from the landfill.   The homes now
  receive water  from a  new well provided  by BFI.

      The  Connecticut River is  560 feet east of the site,  along the drainage
  route of surface water.

      VT DEC issued  three Assurances of Discontinuance and Agreement between
  March 1980 and November 1983.  The orders required BFI to determine the
  hydrogeology of the landfill, monitor ground water on-site,  and provide
  drinking water to  affected nearby residents.

       Status (August 1989); VT DEC granted  BFI Sanitary landfill approval  to
  operate as a solid waste landfill until July 1,  1990.  The approval expires in
  October 1989,  unless  BFI obtains a permit for this land-use under Vermont Act
   250.  BFI's  application is now  under review.

                                  Lyndon, Vermont

      Conditions at listing (June 1988T: Die Darling Hill Dump occupies
  approximately 3.5 acres at the  top of a steep hill in a rural area along the
  west side of Darling Hill Road  in the northeast portion of the Town of Lyndon,
  Caledonia County, Vermont.

      During 1952-72, the Village of Lyndonville operated the dump on leased
  land, disposing mixed municipal and industrial wastes.  During 1972-83,  the
  dump was leased and operated by Ray 0. Parker and Son, Inc., of Lyndonville,
  and was used mainly for disposal  of scrap wood, metal, demolition materials,
  and industrial  wastes.  Parker  purchased the property in October 1983 and
  continues to use the dump primarily for disposal of wood and metal debris.

      About 92,000 gallons  of liquid industrial wastes and 2,000 tons of
  liquid, semiliquid, and solid industrial wastes, including metal plating
  rinse water, alkali degreasers, and organic solvents, were placed in the
  unlined dump.  According to the  Vermont Department of Environmental
  Conservation  (VT DEC), the wastes came from Vermont Tap and Die,  Northeast
  Tool  (both a part  of Vermont American Corp. and both in Lyndonville),  and from
  EHV-Weidmann  (in nearby St. Johnsbury).  Liquids and sludges were dumped
  directly onto the  ground.

      Since 1982, the Vermont Department of Health has detected low levels of
  volatile organic compounds, including trichloroethylene, 1,2-dichloro-
  ethylene, toluene, ethylbenzene,  and 1,1,1-trichloroethane,  in the village
  water supply.  The formation beneath the dump consists mainly of sand and
  gravel.   Depth to ground water is in excess of 100 feet.  The village well
   field serving 3,200 people is 2,600 feet southwest of the dump.   An additional
   460 people use private wells within 3 miles of the dump.

       Approximately 300 feet west of the dump and down a steep hill is the West
   Branch of the Passumpsic River.  It flows southward for approximately  3,000
   feet to where it meets the East Branch of the Passumpsic River.   The river is
   used for recreational fishing and canoeing.

       Status (August 1989); The dump is no longer in operation.

       In March 1989, EPA issued a report stating that the Darling Hill Dump is
   the most likely source of contaminants of the village well field.

       EPA conducted a search for parties potentially responsible for wastes
   associated with the site  and has begun negotiations with several  of them.

       EPA emergency staff has evaluated the site and determined that a removal
   action is not warranted at this time.

  drums of process wastes, including 1,1,1-trichloroethane, acetone, n,n-
  dimethyl formamide, oils, and acid sludges,  into an unnamed perennial stream
  or directly onto the ground.  In April 1984,  VT DEC found that on-site soil,
  surface water, and ground water were contaminated with silver, boron, and/or
  volatile organic compounds, including 1,1-dichloroethane, 1,1-
  dichloroethylene, chloroform, 1,1,1-trichloroethane,  1,1-dichloroethylene,
  chloroform, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, and trichloroethylene.

                               Chehalis, Washington

      Conditions at listing  (June 1988):  American Crossarm & Conduit Co.
  formerly operated on a 16-acre  site within the city limits of Chehalis,  Lewis
  County,  Washington, close to  several local residences and businesses,  The
  Chehalis River is about 1 mile  to the southwest, and a tributary,  Dillenbaugh
  Creek, flows past the site  into the river.   Two fresh water wetlands are
  within 1 mile of the site.

      American Crossarm operated  during 1948-83,  primarily treating and selling
  laminated utility pole crossarms.   The  wood treatment process used
  pentachlorophenol  (POP) and creosote.   Waste waters were discharged into an
  unlined surface impoundment.

      Shallow ground water is contaminated with POP,  according to tests
  conducted by American Crossarm  in 1984.  Deeper ground water within 3 miles of
  the site provides drinking  water to an  estimated 1,100 people.

      In February 1986, the company submitted a closure plan for the
  impoundment, which the Washington Department of Ecology (WDOE)  rejected.   On
  November 6, 1986, WDOE issued an order  requiring the company to stop
  discharging waste water to  the  sewer, investigate the integrity of all tanks
  and sumps, and install secondary containment structures around all tanks  and
  sumps.

      On November 24, 1986, a flood of the Chehalis River caused oil and PCP to
  be released from the site.  About 15 homes,  4 businesses, the surrounding
  property,  Dillenbaugh Creek,  and Chehalis River were contaminated with PCP,
  according to tests conducted  by WDOE.   The river is used for recreational
  activities and irrigation within 3 miles of the site.   Using CERCXA emergency
  funds, EPA cleaned city streets, homes, businesses,  and the creek.  During
  these actions,  EPA recovered  and contained contaminated debris  and soil,  and
  emptied various industrial  storage tanks.

      The company filed for bankruptcy, which was later dismissed.  The company
  appealed,  and  the U.S. District Court of Appeals affirmed the dismissal in
  December  1987.

      The facility is being proposed for  the NPL  because  it is  classified as a
  "protective filer" under Subtitle C of  the Resource  Conservation and Recovery
  Act and so is  not  subject to  Subtitle C corrective action authorities.

      Status (February 1989); In  August 1988,  EPA conducted a trial burn using
  an on-site incinerator.  After  results  indicated levels of combustion well
  within  established guidelines,  EPA began to  incinerate  the contaminated
  materials stored on-site.   Incineration was  completed in January 1989.

              GENERAL ELECTRIC  CO.  (SPOKANE APPARATUS SERVICE SHOP)
                                Spokane, Washington

      Conditions at listing  (June 1988): Genera}- Electric Co.'s Spokane
  Apparatus Service Shop covers slightly less than 1 acre in a mixed-use
  neighborhood in Spokane, Spokane  County, Washington.  General Electric
  cleaned and repaired electrical transformers on-site during 1961-80.  Waste
  PCB-laden oils were stored on-site and were also disposed in on-site dry
  wells that were connected  to  the  sewer.

      After the Washington Department of Ecology (WDOE)  found high levels of
  PCBs in on-site soils, General Electric began an investigation in 1986 with
  WDOE oversight.  The company  found PCBs and trichloroethylene significantly
  above background levels in ground water.  The site overlies the Spokane
  Valley-Rathdrum Prairie Aquifer,  which EPA  has designated,  under the Safe
  Drinking Water Act as a sole  source of drinking water for the area.  Wells
  within 3 miles of the site supply drinking  water for almost 200,000 people.

      At the request of "WDOE, General Electric will expand its investigation
  and undertake  more sampling.

      Status  (August  1989):  With WDOE oversight, General Electric is conducting
  a remedial investigation/feasibility  study  to determine the type and extent  of
  contamination  at the site and identify alternatives for remedial action.   The
  RI  has  found high levels  of PCBs  and  elevated levels of heavy metals,
  chlorinated benzenes, volatile  organic compounds, and petroleum hydrocarbons
  in  soils at the site.   PCBs,  petroleum hydrocarbons, and several volatile
  organic compounds were found  in ground water.  GE has extended a fence
  surrounding the site to prevent unauthorized access.  The RI is scheduled to
  be  completed by the end of 1989 and the FS  by mid-1990.

                            Benton County/ Washington

      Conditions at listing  (June 1988): The Haniford 100-Area is adjacent to
  the Columbia River in the northern section of the 570-square-mile Hanford Site
  in Benton County, Washington.  Since  1943, Hanford has been the scene of
  Federal nuclear activities, primarily production of nuclear materials for
  national defense.

      The U.S. Department of Energy  (USDOE)  has nine nuclear reactors in the
  100-Area.  Eight reactors were in  use during the 1940s and 1950s; the ninth,
  the N-Reactor, has been used  since the early 1960s to produce plutonium and
  electricity.  Over 110 waste  disposal locations have been identified in the
  100-Area.  The disposal locations  and plumes of contaminated ground water
  cover approximately 11 square miles.

      An estimated 4.3 billion  cubic yards of  solid and dilute liquid waste
  comprised  of radioactive, mixed,and hazardous constituents were disposed in
  cribs, trenches, and burial grounds in the 100-Area.   USDOE has detected
  hexavalent chromium and strontium-90  in ground water beneath the  area;  ground
  water is not used within 3 miles of the 100-Area,  but it is known to seep into
  the Columbia River  in the  100-Area.   USDOE detected strontium-90  in the
  Columbia River at levels significantly above background.   Intakes on the
  Columbia River within 3 miles of the  100-Area supply drinking water to  over
  3,000 workers  in the 100-  and 200-Areas.

      EPA, USDOE,  and the Washington Department of Ecology (WDOE) are jointly
  developing an  action plan  that will include the work needed to address this

      The U.S. Department of Energy  (USDOE) uses the 200-Area for nuclear fuel
  reprocessing, finishing, and waste management.   Over 230 waste disposal
  locations have been identified in  the 200-Area.   The disposal locations and
  plumes of contaminated ground water cover approximately 215 square miles.

      An estimated 1 billion cubic yards of solid and dilute liquid wastes
  comprised of radioactive, mixed, and hazardous constituents were disposed in
  trenches, ditches, and landfills in the 200-Area.   USDOE has detected
  tritium, iodine-129, uranium, cyanide, and carbon tetrachloride at levels
  significantly above background in  ground water beneath the area.   Over 2,500
  people obtain drinking water from  wells within 3 miles of the 200-Area.
  Tritium has been detected  in Richland's surface water intakes at levels above

      Oonditions at listing  (June 1988); The  Hafiford 1100-Area is approximately
  1 mile north of the city of Richland, Benton County,  Washington, in the
  southeast section of the 570-square-mile Hanford Site.  Since 1943, Hanford
  has been the scene of Federal nuclear activities, primarily production of
  nuclear materials for national defense.

      Ihe U.S. Department of  Energy  (USDOE) conducts maintenance operations in
  the 1100-Area.  Ihe area covers less than 1 acre and contains a sand pit, an
  underground tank, and other areas  of potential contamination.  An estimated
  15,000 gallons of waste battery acid were disposed in the pit; the tank,
  which was used to store waste antifreeze, was  suspected of leaking.

      Ground water occurs at 24 feet,  with highly permeable sand and gravel
  overlying the aquifer; these conditions facilitate movement of contaminants
  into ground water.  To date, USDOE has not  detected any contaminants in ground
  water in the 1100-Area.  Richland  has wells within 3  miles of the 1100-Area
  that draw drinking water from the  shallow aquifer.  Ihe nearest well is 2,640
  feet  from the disposal area.  Almost 70,000 people obtain drinking water from

                                Keyport,  Washington

      Conditions at listing  (June 1986); The Naval Undersea Warfare Engineering
  Station (NUWES) at Keyport, Kitsap County,  Washington, was acquired in 1913  to
  develop a still water torpedo testing range.   The main station, which  is
  located on a peninsula 15 miles west of Seattle, covers slightly over  200
  acres and employs approximately 3,500 people.  NUWES (Keyport) has been
  involved in a wide variety  of activities, including maintenance of torpedoes;
  storage of fuel and ordnance; and production functions such as welding,
  plating, painting, carpentry, and sheet metal work.  Waste contaminants
  generated include cadmium,  chromium,  copper,  cyanide, lead, nickel, tin,  zinc,
  carbon tetrachloride, methyl  ethyl ketone,  and trichloroethylene.

      Four waste disposal areas are included in this NPL site.  The areas are
  part of the same operation, have the same sources of contamination,  and have
  the same contaminants.  They  also threaten the same ground water and surface
  water.  The four areas are:   Area 1:   Keyport Landfill,  situated in a marsh
  and having no liner or leachate containment system; Area 2:  the Van Meter
  Road Spills, an area about  100  x 200 feet located near an  intermittent creek
  that flows into a lagoon used for fishing and swimming;  Area 5:   Sludge
  Disposal Area, which covers about 100 feet x 200 feet and  is located less than
  200 feet from Liberty Bay;  and  Area 9:  Liberty Bay Outfalls/Shoreline, where
  very substantial quantities of  wastes were discharged directly into the water.
  The waste  from at least one of  these areas, Keyport landfill,  is in direct
  contact with ground water.

      Thousands  of gallons of wastes were dumped onto the  ground at the Van
  Meter Road Spill area.  Up  to 500 gallons of sludge were disposed of at the
  Sludge Disposal Area.  Sediment from the Liberty Bay Outfalls/Shoreline area
  and from the landfill contain lead, cadmium,  chromium, and zinc, according to
  analyses conducted by a consultant to the Navy.   Liberty Bay is used for
  commercial shell fishing and  recreation.

      At  least 3,400 people obtain drinking water from wells within 3 miles of
  the site.

      NUWES  (Keyport) is participating in the Installation Restoration Program,
  established in 1978.  Under this program, the Department of Defense seeks to
  identify,  investigate, and  clean up contamination from hazardous materials.
  The Navy has completed Phase  I  (records search).   Phase II  (confirmation
  study)  started in October 1985.

      Status (August  1989); The Navy has submitted workplans to EPA for a
  remedial  investigation/feasibility study to determine the type and extent of
  contamination  at the site and identify alternatives  for remedial action.  EPA
  is working with the Navy to correct deficiencies in  the workplan such as fully
  characterizing the  shallow  aquifer, the vertical/lateral migration of
  contamination,  and contaminant  loading.   The Navy is expected to begin marine
  biological sampling scon.

                               Excelsior, Wisconsin

      Conditions at listing  (June 1988);  Sauk Cpunty formerly operated a  10-
  acre landfill in Excelsior, a rural agricultural area 10 miles west of
  Baraboo, Sauk County, Wisconsin.   In 1973,  Sauk County received a permit from
  the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources to accept municipal waste.
  During 1973-83, contractors hauled in municipal wastes from several small
  municipalities and placed  them  on naturally occurring sand overlying sandstone
  bedrock.

      The landfill also accepted  foundry wastes from Grede Foundry, Inc.,
  according to information Sauk County provided to EPA as required by CERdA
  Section 103(c).  Foundry sand formed the berms of the landfill.
  Approximately  2 percent of the  wastes were  cupola baghouse dusts, which
  contain lead and cadmium.   When the landfill closed in 1983,  clay was placed
  on its top and sides.

      Volatile organic compounds, including toluene, benzene, 2-butanone,  1,1-
  dichloroethylene, and 1,1-dichloroethane, as well as arsenic,  barium,  and
  chromium, are  present in on-site monitoring wells, according to tests
  conducted by EPA in 1985.   Approximately 900 persons obtain drinking water
  from  private wells  within  3 miles of the site.

      During  an  inspection conducted in 1985,  EPA found that methane was being
  generated at the site.

      Status  (August  1989);  The State is investigating the possibility that the
  county will conduct a remedial  investigation/feasibility study to determine
  the type and extent of contamination at the site and identify alternatives for
  remedial action.

                                Fresno,  California

     Conditions flfc listing (October 1984): FTC Corp. has been formulating
  pesticides  for nearly 30 years in an industrial area of Fresno,  Fresno County,
  California.   Ground water below the facility is contaminated with heavy metals
  and pesticides, according to analyses conducted by the company.   Fresno
  municipal wells near the site tap this contaminated ground water.   The wells
  are blended into the municipal water supply system, which serves about 250,000
  people.

     FM3 has  removed sane soil contaminated with various pesticides and
  heavy metals from the facility and transported it  to an approved landfill.
  FMT has  conducted some site investigations at the  direction of the California
  Department  of Health Services and the California Regional Water  Quality
  Control  Board.

     Hie plant received Interim status under Subtitle c of  the Resource
  Conservation and Recovery Act  (RCRA) when the company filed Part A of a
  permit application for surface impoundments.  It filed a Part B  in March  1983
  and in August 1983 submitted a closure plan for the surface impoundments.

      status (January ]oflfi>- FMT's contractor has submitted to the  California
  Department  of Health Services an initial field investigation report assessing
  the extent  of soil contamination in one part of the site and a plan for a
  ground water monitoring program.

      Hie State approved a closure plan for the surface impoundments in
   February 1985.  In November 1985, the facility lost Interim Status when it did
   not comply with the ground water and financial requirements of RCRA Section
   3005(e).

      EPA has issued a Notice Letter to the company.   Die company is
   developing a workplan for a remedial investigation/feasibility study (RI/FS)
   to determine the type and extent of contamination at the site and identify
   alternatives for remedial action.

      Status (June 1988): EPA is proposing to drop FJC's Corp. »s Fresno Plant
   from the proposed NPL.  Because the site is a treatment,  storage, and
   disposal facility, it is subject to the corrective action authorities of RCRA
   Subtitle c.

      In December 1986, EPA and FTC entered into a Consent Order under RCRA
   Section 7003(a) and CERCLA Section I06(a)  requiring FMT to conduct an RI/FS.
   Phase I of the RI is complete.   Phase II is scheduled to  be completed in mid-
   1989 and the FS in early 1990.  After that time, the public will  have the
   opportunity to coiimiL on the cleanup alternative  reccomended in  the draft
   Rl/rs report.

      EPA intends to pursue cleanup under RCRA and CERCLA authorities and to
   ensure that the cleanup protects public health and the environment.   EPA can
   later repropose the site for the NPL if it determines  that the owner or
   operator is unable or unwilling to clean up the site effectively.

      Status (August 1989); EPA has dropped this site from the proposed NPL.

      TMC has developed a new analytical method for detecting certain
   pesticides at lower detection limits.   After paying a  stipulated  penalty for
   unnecessary delays, FfC has completed Phase II field work and is  performing
   pilot and bench treatability tests for the FS.   TTte RI report is  due shortly,
   and the final FS draft is due late in 1989.

                                   GBF, INC. , DUMP
                                 Antioch, California

      npnfl-ifrjrpns at listing (June 1988): The GBF, Inc., Dump occupies 62
   acres  in Antioch, Contra Costa County, California.  The original owner leased
   the  site to Contra Costa Waste Service, Inc., some time prior to 1960.  A
   joint  effort involving Contra Costa and Industrial Tank,  Inc.  (IT)  disposed of
   hazardous waste on the site from 1960 to the early 1970s,  when  GBF took over.

      Oil and oily bilge water were accepted at the site during GBF-IT
   operations. Although available records are unclear, documentation in various
   government files verifies that large quantities of liquid industrial wastes
   from throughout the county and beyond were disposed of at  the site.   Until
   1974,  these wastes were deposited in a series of 10 unlined ponds on-site
   covering approximately 60 acres.

       In 1974, because of concern that the wastes could migrate  from the site
   and endanger ground water in the area, the California Regional Water Quality
   Control Board (CRWQCB) closed the ponds and required that  the site accept only
   nonhazardous waste.

       By 1978, the ponds has been completely filled in with municipal waste
    and at least partially covered with clay and/or dirt.  Leachate detection
    wells were dug around the perimeter of the site to monitor the potential
    migration  of site contaminants,  unfortunately, these wells were actually dry
    holes that could not detect potential ground water contamination.  In May
    1986, six  on-site ground water monitoring wells were installed.  These wells
    contain  a  large variety  of organic compounds, including carbon tetrachloride,
    chloroform,  2,4-D, and 2,4,5-T, as well as iron.  An estimated 700 people
    obtain drinking  water from private wells within 3 miles of the site.

        In 1980,  Pittsburgh Disposal & Debris Box Service, Inc., received a
    county permit to dispose municipal waste on 25 acres of the site leased from
    GEF,  Inc.   This  area is  still in operation.

        CRWQCB, the California Department of Health Services, and the Contra
    Costa County Health Services Department have been working with IT and GBF,
    Inc., to formulate a plan for further action.  IT and GBF, Inc., recently
    reached an agreement to  share the costs of further monitoring to determine the
    extent of the plume of contaminated ground water.

        Status (August 1989); In response to public comments, EPA re-evaluated
    the site documentation and  revised the site's score on the Hazard Ranking
    System,  which EPA uses to assess sites for the NPL.  The revised score is
    below the cut-off point  EPA has established to include a site on the NPL.
    Hence, the GBF,  Inc., Dump  is being dropped from consideration for the NPL at
    this  time.

        In the summer of 1989, IT and GBF, Inc., submitted workplans to the
    California Department of Health Services and EPA for a remedial investigation/
     feasibility study to determine  the type and extent of contamination at the
     site and identify alternatives  for remedial action.  Work  is scheduled to
    begin shortly.

                              Palo Alto,  California

      Conditions at listing  (October 1984); Hewlett-Packard manufactures
  optical instruments at 1501 Page Mill Road in Palo Alto, Santa  Clara County,
  California. The 50-acre site  is  surrounded by industrial and business  areas.

      Monitoring wells on the site are contaminated with 1,1,1-
  trichloroethane, 1,1-dichloroethylene,  1,1-dichloroethane, trichloroethylene,
  and toluene, according to  analyses conducted by a Hewlett-Packard consultant.
  Contamination is believed  to  have  resulted from leaking tanks.  About  56,000
  people use wells within 3  miles  of the  site as a standby source of drinking
  water.

      Hewlett-Packard is working under a  California Regional Water Quality
  Control Board  (CRWQCB) order  to  determine the extent of contamination of
  ground water and soils.

      This  is one of 19 sites in the South Bay Area of San Francisco.
  Facilities at these sites  have used a variety of toxic chemicals,  primarily
  chlorinated organic solvents, which contaminate a common ground water basin.
  Although  these sites are listed  separately, EPA intends to apply an area-wide
  approach  to the problem as well  as take specific action as necessary.

      Status (January 1986); CRWQCB, in conjunction with EPA and the California
  Department of  Health Services, is  considering various response actions at the
  site.  Ihe State has called for  Hewlett-Packard to submit a Part B permit
  application under Subtitle C  of  the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act
   (RCRA).

      Status fJune 1988); EPA is proposing to drop Hewlett-Packard from the
  proposed NFL.   Because the site  is a treatment and storage facility, it is
  subject to the corrective  action authorities of RCRA Subtitle C.

      Hewlett-Packard has installed  several wells to pump out contaminated
  ground water and treat it  to  remove the organic chemicals.

      Under EPA and State supervision, Hewlett-Packard is conducting a remedial
   investigation/feasibility  study  (RI/FS)  to determine the type and extent of
  contamination at the site  and identify  alternatives for remedial action.  The
  work is scheduled to be completed  later in 1988.  After that time, the  public
  will  have the opportunity  to  comment on the cleanup alternative recommended in
  the draft RI/FS report.

       If current CFW2CB  enforcement  efforts fail,  EPA intends to pursue cleanup
  under RCRA authorities.  Superfund enforcement authorities  may also be  used.
  EPA will ensure that the cleanup protects public health and the  environment.
   EPA can later repropose the site for the NPL if it determines that the  owner
   or operator is unable  or unwilling to clean up the site effectively.

       Status (August  1989):  EPA has  dropped this site from the proposed NPL.

                               San Jose, California

     Conditions at listing  (October  1984): ISM Corp.  manufactures data-
  processing equipment on approximately 400 acres in the southern portion of San
  Jose,  Santa Clara County, California.  Land use in the vicinity of the site is
  agricultural and residential.

     Spent solvents are stored in a  number of underground storage tanks at
  the IBM facility.  Soils and a  multiple aquifer system used for drinking water
  are contaminated with trichloroethane, trichloroethylene,  Freon 113, and other
  industrial solvents, according  to  analyses  conducted by the Great Oaks Water
  Co. and IBM.  TVio municipal wells  within 1  mile of the facility have been
  taken out of service.  About 65,000 people  use  wells within 3 miles of the
  site as a source of drinking water.

     In response to a request from the  California Regional Water Quality
  Control Board  (CTWQCB) , IBM is  voluntarily  undertaking remedial measures to
  contain and reduce the plume of contaminants.   IBM has recently completed an
  investigation to determine the  extent of the problem and is undertaking
  interim cleanup measures consisting of the  removal of contaminated soil and
  the pumping and treatment of contaminated ground water.

     Tnis is one of 19 sites in the  South Bay Area of San Francisco.
  Facilities at these sites have  used a variety of toxic chemicals,  primarily
  chlorinated organic solvents, which contaminate a  common ground water basin.
  Although these sites are  listed separately,  Oft intends to  apply an area-wide
  approach to the problem as well as take specific action as  necessary.
     status  (F'-ih.nifVY lqa(?)' HM has removed more than 10,000 cubic yards of
  soil and the leaking underground tanks and installed wells both on and off the
  site to pump and treat contaminated ground water.

     In March 1985 , the State  issued IBM a permit to treat and store
  hazardous  waste under Subtitle C of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act
   (RCRA).

     Status  (June 19881: BE7V is proposing to drop IBM Corp. 's San Jose Plant
   from the proposed NPL.  Because the site is a treatment and storage facility,
   it is subject to the corrective action authorities of RCRA subtitle C.

     With State oversight,  IBM is conducting a remedial
   investigation/feasibility study (RI/FS) to determine the type and extent of
   contamination at the site and identify alternatives for remedial action.  The
   work is scheduled to be completed in  late 1988.  After that tine, the public
   will have  the opportunity to cximaiL  on the cleanup alternative recommended in
   the draft  RI/FS report.
      If current CBWQCB enforcement efforts  fail, SA intends to pursue
   cleanup under RCRA authorities.   Superfund enforcement authorities may also be
   used. EPA will ensure that the cleanup protects public health and the
   environment.  ETA can later repropose the  site for the NPL if it determines
   that the owner or operator is unable or unwilling to clean up the site
   effectively.

      status (August 1989); EJA has OiuftJed  this site from the NPL.
      IBM completed the RI/FS.   Following a period of public ccmnent, a
   Record of Decision was signed in December 1988  finalizing the remedy and
   concurring with State orders for final cleanup.  Tne cuiiaany is in compliance
   with these orders.  Tne remedy includes continued pumping and treatment of
   ground water and vapor extraction to remove contaminants from soils.

                                 Fontana, California

      rnp^ij-irps at listing (June 1988): Kaiser Steel Corp. 's  former plant
   occupies about  2,000 acres in Fontana, San Bernardino county,  California.
   Die plant operated during 1942-83.  In February 1987, Kaiser filed for
   protection under Chapter 11 of the Federal bankruptcy code.  Die plant
   consisted of three main units: a primary production unit, a rolling mill, and
   two slag disposal areas covering approximately 1  square mile.  California
   Steel Industries, Inc. , purchased the rolling mill from Kaiser in 1984.
   Cuyahoga Wrecking Corp. purchased the coke plant  and blast  furnaces in the
   primary production unit for salvage and began dismantling them in 1985.   Tanks
   and structures  were cut open with blow torches, spilling contents onto  the
   ground  and starting fires.   Asbestos insulation was torn or  knocked off,
   releasing fibers to the enviiuinait.  EPA pursued a criminal case against
   Cuyahoga; in December,  1988 Cuyahoga officials were found guilty on seven
   counts  of Clean Air Act violations, and received prison sentences of up to
   1.5 years.

      A consultant to Kaiser has identified 28 potentially contaminated
   source  areas throughout the former plant.   Hazardous substances on-site
   include FCBs, coal tar sludge, plating sludges, acids, asbestos, and heavy
   metals. Photographs taken during a 1986 inspection show waste and wreckage
   scattered about the site, numerous drums and sumps in poorly maintained
   condition, and  visibly contaminated soil.   Die plant is being dismantled for
   the planned  development of an industrial park; a considerable amount of
   wreckage appears to have been removed.

       A 1985 study by Kaiser consultants showed elevated levels of benzene,
   methylene chloride, and total dissolved solids in on-site wells.

       Die water table below the site, now approximately 350 feet,  is expected
   to rise in the future with implementation of a regional ground water storage
   program in Qiino Basin.  Three of the main drinking water wells of the city of
   Ontario are  1-2 miles directly downgradient of the Kaiser plant.   An estimated
    150,000 people obtain drinking water from municipal wells within  3 miles of
   the site.

       Die facility acquired Interim Status under Subtitle C of  the Resource
    Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) when it filed a Notification of Hazardous
   Waste Activity and Fart A of a permit application.  Die site is being proposed
    for the NFL because it satisfies a component of EPA's NPL/RCRA  policy: the
    owner has demonstrated an inability to finance appropriate remedial action by
    invoking bankruptcy laws.
       Status (August 1989): EPA has dtuKJtiJ this site from the proposed NPL.
    Kaiser emerged from bankruptcy in September 1988.   Hence,  this  site no  longer
    satisfies the NPL/RCRA policy.

       Kaiser is under a Consent Order from the California Department of
    Health Services and a Cleanup and Abatement Order  from the California Regional
    Water Quality Control Board.  EPA has referred the site to the  State Superfund
       EPA tests conducted in 1988 detected heavy metals in the atmosphere at
    the disposal piles and in ground water.  Die levels of barium, chromium,
    cadmium, lead, and mercury in ground water equal or exceed Federal primary
    drinking water standards.  Die highest concentrations were in wells near the
    chrome and ferrous chloride (pickle liquor) ponds.   Die ponds are known to
    have had two leaks, resulting in a total loss of 1.5 million  gallons of
    hydrochloric acid solution.

     Conditions at  listing (October 1984): Marley Cooling Tower Co.  has
  fabricated cooling towers on land adjacent to Franklin High School in
  Stockton, San Joaquin County,  California, since 1942.  During 1966-82, the
  company used chromated copper arsenate to pressure treat wood.   Since 1982,
  acid copper  chromate has been used instead.

     Since  1966, rainwater run-off contaminated with arsenic, chromium, and
  copper  has been discharged to a 2-acre percolation pond.  Die sludge in the
  pond and  soil on-site are heavily contaminated with arsenic,  chromium, and
  copper. IVo  on-site monitoring wells are contaminated with chromium, according
  to company analyses,  No off-site ground water contamination  has been detected
  to date.

     Marley is working with the California Department of Health Services and
  the California Regional Water Quality Control Board to develop a plan to
  determine the full extent of soil and ground water contamination.

 .  indicate that the primary sources of soil and ground water contamination are
  .the production/ product storage area and a retort pit used in the wood-
   treatment process; the pond is a secondary source.  The second phase of the RI
   will focus on further defining soil and ground water contamination.

      status (.June 1988); Elft is proposing to drop Marley Cooling lower Co.
   from the proposed NFL.  Because it is a treatment, storage and disposal
   facility, it is subject to the corrective action authorities  of RCRA

      Marley submitted to the State a plan for closing the hazardous waste
   management unit at the facility.   The plan was available for  public comment in
   December 1987.   Marley is preparing to respond to the public  comments and will
   finalizes the plan, and start to close the unit.  In addition, a plant
   constructed by Marley to treat contaminated ground water  is scheduled to start
   operating in 1988.  EPA is working with the State to develop  a state ranedial
   action order for a ranedial investigation/feasibility study and  corrective
   measures.

      EPA intends to pursue cleanup under RCRA authorities and to ensure that
   the cleanup protects public health and the environment.   In appropriate
   circumstances, Superfund monies may be used for a remedial investigation/
   feasibility study to ensure that the site is cleaned up quickly  and
   effectively; Superfund enforcement authorities may also be used.   EPA can

      Conditions at listing  (septanber  1985):  Man- in Marietta's Denver
   Aerospace Plant covers approximately 5,200  acres near Waterton in southern
   Jefferson County, Colorado.  Martin  Marietta began operations in 1956 when it
   constructed facilities for development of missiles and missile components for
   the U.S. Air Force.  Martin Marietta owns the  property and continues its
   aerospace manufacturing activities for the  Air Force.

      In the early 1960s, the company began  disposing of waste oils,
   hexavalent chromium salts, volatile  organic compounds, and other industrial
   wastes on the property in a number of ponds covering a few acres.  The ponds
   stopped receiving wastes  in 1979  and in mid-1980 were filled.  In early 1985,
   Eft found that ground water downgradient  from  the former waste disposal areas
   contained chromium and organic chemicals.   The area is approximately 1.5 miles
   upgradient of Denver's Kassler municipal  water treatment plant,  which may be
   capturing alluvial ground water and  surface water moving from the inactive
   waste disposal area.  The plant provides  up to 15 percent of the drinking
   water for more than l million people in the Denver metropolitan  area.

      In February 1985, the  Colorado Department of Health issued an emergency
   order to the company to monitor ground water and to prepare a remedial  action
   plan for surface water and ground water drainages adjacent to an active waste
   handling unit with Interim status under subtitle  C of the Resource
   Conservation and Recovery Act  (RCRA) .

      In March 1985, EFA issued an Administrative Order  under CERCLA Section
   106 that required Martin  Marietta to begin  a comprehensive program at the
   site, including installation of monitoring  wells  and plans for containment and
   treatment of contaminated ground  water.

      Under the  1985 EPA and State orders, the company is  installing
   monitoring wells throughout the site and  in the vicinity of the Kassler water
   treatment plant.  Tne compary is  planning further site  investigations and also
   to install a system to capture, pump, and treat contaminated ground water.

      status (June 1988); EPA is proposing to drop Martin Marietta's Denver
   Aerospace Plant from the  proposed NPL.  Because the site is a treatment,
   storage, and disposal facility, it is subject to the corrective action
   authorities of RCRA subtitle C.

      In September 1985, an  interceptor/recovery system started pumping
   contaminated ground water from 14 wells to a Martin Marietta treatment
   facility.

      Since 1986 , the Kassler plant  has been maintained on standby to
   supplement Denver's water supply  as needed.

      In February 1986, EPA  and Martin Marietta entered into an
   Administrative Order on Consent under CESOA Section 106 and RCRA Section
   3008 (h).  Under the order, Martin Marietta agreed to conduct a remedial
   investigation/feasibility study (RI/FS) to determine the type and extent of
   contamination at the site, including the inactive ponds, and identify
   alternatives  for remedial action.  The study is scheduled to be completed  late
   in 1988.  After that time, the public will have the opportunity to ccmnent on

                               New Castle, Delaware

      Conditions at listing  (January 1987); Pigeon Point landfill covered 120-
  acres in New Castle, New Castle County,  Delaware,  along the Delaware River
  just north of the Delaware Memorial Bridge.   It started receiving industrial
  and municipal wastes in 1968.   Before it was a landfill, the site was used by
  the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers  for disposal of dredge soils from the
  Delaware and Christiana Rivers.   The City of Wilmington operated the site
  during 1968-71, New Castle County during 1971-80,  and the Delaware Solid Waste
  Authority  (DSWA) during 1981-85.   Thereafter, it was permitted by the State to
  accept municipal wastes.   Operations stopped and the site was closed in
  November 1985.  During closure, the site was covered with a 2-foot clay cap
  and seeded.

      Before 1980, according to the Delaware Department of Natural Resources
  and Environmental Control, wastes disposed at the unlined landfill included
  paint sludges,  metal sludges, petroleum refinery wastes, polyvinyl chloride
  wastes, chemical process wastes,  and phenol  resins.

      In  1984-85, a consultant to DSWA detected arsenic,  benzene,  ethylbenzene,
  and tetrachloroethylene in on-site monitoring wells.  Aquifers of both the
  Columbia  and Potomac Formations are at risk.  The Artesian Water Co. has nine
  wells within 3 miles of the site.  The water is blended with water from other
  wells.  The  public  water supply for 135,000  people is potentially affected.

      Status fAugust  1989):  In response to public comments,  EPA  re-evaluated
  the site documentation and revised the site's score on the Hazard Ranking
  System, which EPA uses to  assess  sites for the NFL. The revised score  is below
  the cut-off point EPA has  established to include a site on the NPL.  Hence,
   Pigeon Point Landfill is being dropped from  consideration for  the NPL  at this
  time.

                              West Palm Beacn, Florida

      rlPirXli'l'i1ans  at-  listing (October 1984):  The Pratt & Whitney
   Aircraft/United Technologies Corp.  site comprises about 7,000 acres  in  West
   Palm Beach in  north central Palm Beach County, Florida.  Jet engines have been
   manufactured and  tested on the site since 1957.  Pratt & Whitney is  a
   Canadian-based operation and\a division of United Technologies Corp.

      On the site are a sanitary  landfill where solvents were disposed  of, a
   solvent storage tank that leaked approximately 2,000 gallons of
   trichloroethane through an underground valve, a solvent distillation area,  and
   jet fuel heaters  which contained PCBs until the mid-1970s.

      Ground water and surface water are contaminated with PCBs and organic
   solvents, according to tests conducted by Pratt & Whitney.  Ihe conpany also
   found that the well serving its 7,200 employees is contaminated with solvents.
   Pratt i Whitney has installed  a forced aeration system to remove volatile
   organic chemicals (VXs) from  its well fields and is involved in discussions
   with the State regarding PCBs  and landfill remedial actions.

      The plant received  Interim  status  under Subtitle C of the Resource
   Conservation and  Recovery Act  (RCRA)  when it filed Part A of a permit
   application.   In  1983, it submitted Part  B of the application.

      status  (January I9ffi);  On April  26, 1985,  the company signed a Consent
   Agreement with the State under which  the  conpany is to implement a  State-
  • approved remedial action plan  to f^i  with UXs and PCBs.
      Other areas of contamination,  including PCs-contaminated soil  and a
   buried leaking waste oil tank containing VCCs. have been discovered.

      The Pratt & Whitney facility was first  proposed for the  NPL as part of
   Update #2.   In response to public cements received, ETA completely re-
   evaluated the site and made a significant  change  in its  score on  the Hazard
   Ranking System, which EZR uses to assess sites for the NPL.  Consequently, EFA
   reproposed  the Pratt & Whitney facility on Septanber 18, 1985 (50 FR 37950) as
   part of NPL Update #4 and solicited ccmnents on the revised score.

      Status (June 1988)! Hft is proposing to drop Pratt & Whitney
   Aircraft/United Technologies Corp.  from the proposed NPL.  Because  it is a
   treatment and storage facility, it is subject to the corrective action
   authorities of RCRA Subtitle C.

      Under the state-approved remedial action plan,  Pratt & Whitney is
   punping and treating contaninated ground water.

      In June  1987, the State issued a 5-year RCRA permit for treatment and
   storage units.  HA expects to issue the corrective action portion of the
   permit, which the state is not yet authorized to issue, later in 1988.

      ETA intends to pursue cleanup  under  RCRA authorities and to ensure that
   the  cleanup protects public health and  the environment.  Superfund
   enforcement authorities may also  be used.   Bft can later repropose the site
    for  the NPL if it determines that the owner or operator is unable or
   unwilling to clean up the site effectively.

      status (August 1989): EBV has  dropped this site from the proposed NPL.

      On September 21, 1989 EXA issued the corrective action portion of the
   RCRA permit.  The permit covers investigation of 13 solid waste managment
   units to determine corrective action needed and aT«" covers 3 remedial  actions
   now underway under Consent Orders between  the cunjuiiy and the State. The
   conpany 's workplan for the 13 units is  now under review.

      Conditions at listing  (September 1983):  Olin Corp. fs plant in Augusta,
   Richmond County, Georgia, manufactures chlorine and caustic soda, generating a
   mercury-contaminated brine sludge in the process.   Since the early 1970s, Olin
   has disposed the sludge in two unlined disposal pits and in a lined surface
   iitpoundment (Areas 1, 2, and|4).  TJie  liner in  the  impoundment may have been
   damaged by dumping of construction rubble.  About 32,000 tons of mercury-
   contaminated wastes have been disposed of in the three areas.   All three
   areas,  plus a retort ash and filter cake dump,  occupy about 5  acres on the
   southern portion of the plant property.  In April and July 1981, the company's
   on-site monitoring wells near the disposal  facilities contained mercury.

      Within 3 miles of the disposal areas are 11  Richmond County drinking
   water wells.  More than 10,000 people  use ground water in this area.   Large
   areas of fresh water wetlands are within 1.5 miles of  the Olin plant.

      TUe plant acquired Interim Status under Subtitle C  of the Resource
   Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) when the company  filed Part A of  a
   permit application.  EPA called in Part B of the application in August 1983.
   EPA certified that the company was in  compliance with  the financial
   requirements and ground water monitoring requirements  of RCRA Section  3005 (e).

      status (June 19841: A State Consent Order executed  in January 1984
   required Olin to cease waste disposal  in the two pits and to retain a
 •  consultant to fully define the extent of contamination.  Be company
   submitted the resulting Ground Water Assessment Program Report to the State
   for review.

      status (January io«K>! in May 1985, the State issued an order requiring
   Olin to submit a corrective action plan for all releases into the environment
   from all disposal units at the site.  Olin appealed the order and in December
   1985 the State agreed to rescind it.  THen the State required Olin to meet the
   January 1984 order calling for closing the pits.  However, the state required
   no further corrective action beyond that, and EPA is currently assessing the
   State-Olin agreement for consistency with RCRA requirements.
              (.Time 19BB); EE9V is proposing to drop Olin Corp.  (Areas 1, 2, &
   4) from the proposed tPL.  Because the site is a treatment, storage, and
   disposal facility, it is subject to the corrective action authorities of RCRA
   Subtitle C.

      After EPA assessed the State-Olin agreement in September 1986, the
   State issued a RCRA permit, which includes a schedule for corrective action.
   Olin had installed a system to pump and treat contaminated ground water in
   June 1986, before the permit was issued.  Ine company is meeting the schedule
   for corrective action.

      EPA intends to pursue cleanup under RCRA authorities and to ensure that
   the cleanup protects public health and the environment.  Superfund
   enforcement authorities may also be used.  Em can later repropose the site
   for the NPL if it determines that the owner or operator is unable or
   unwilling  to clean up the site effectively.

      status  (August, 1?89); EIR has dicwed this site from the proposed NPL.

      The company continues to meet the schedule for corrective action.

      Conditions at listing (September  1985): A^  Y.  McDonald Industries, Inc.,
  formerly operated an iron and brass foundry on a site covering approximately
  19 acres on the Mississippi River  floodplain  in Dubuque,  Dubuque County, Iowa.
  From 1896 to 1983, the company placed piles of casting sands and sludge from
  air pollution control scrubbers on the property.  The materials contained
  lead, according to EPA tests.

      Because the piles are unlined, unstabilized, and uncovered,  they threaten
  to contaminate ground water, surface  water, and air.   About 62,300 people
  depend on wells within 3 miles of  the site for their drinking water.

      In the fall of 1983, the Iowa  Department  of Transportation acquired the
  site under eminent domain for a Federal highway project.

      On December 6, 1984, EPA issued an Administrative Order under Section
  3008 (a) of the Resource Conservation  and Recovery  Act (RCRA).  The order
  required the company to submit a complete  closure  plan for the disposal site
  and a ground water assessment plan.

      Status  (September 1986): In September  1986,  the company submitted a draft
  closure plan, which EPA determined was inadequate.

      Status  (June  1988): EPA is proposing to drop A. Y. McDonald Industries,
  Inc., from the proposed NFL.  Because the  site is  a disposal facility,  it is
  subject to the  corrective action authorities  of RCRA  Subtitle C.

       On August 21, 1987, EPA, the company,  and the  Iowa Department of
  Transportation  signed a Consent Order under CERCLA Section 106 to close the
  site.  The  order  requires capping  the site and  expanding ground water
  monitoring  to comply with RCRA closure and postclosure requirements, which
  call for maintenance of the cap and operation and maintenance of the
  monitoring  system for 30 years.

       EPA may also  pursue cleanup under RCRA authorities and will ensure that
  the cleanup protects public health and the environment.  EPA can later
  repropose the site  for the  NFL if  it  determines that  the owner or operator is
  unable or unwilling to clean up the site effectively.

       Status  (August  1989); EPA has  dropped  this  site from the proposed NPL.

      Conditions at listing  (April 1985):  The Frit Industries Site cavers about
  6 acres north of Hurriboldt, Huniboldt County, Iowa.   The company produces trace
  mineral additives for agricultural  use.  The process involves combining
  baghouse dust and waste sulfuric acid.   Two waste treatment ponds on-site have
  received waste phosphoric  acid, sulfuric acid,  fluoride compounds, and other
  hazardous materials containing high levels  of lead and cadmium.  Waste from
  air scrubbers has also been dumped  on the ground south of the site,
  threatening ground water.  About 4,800 people obtain their drinking water from
  wells within 3 miles of the site.   Lake  Nakomis,  located about 1 mile from the
  site, is used for recreational activities.

      In 1980, waste pile and tank storage units  of the plant received Interim
  Status under Subtitle C of the Resource  Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)
  when Frit  filed Part A of  a permit  application.   On September 30, 1983,  the
  Iowa Department of Water,  Air, and  Waste Management issued an Administrative
  Order under the State's Superfund law requiring Frit to develop appropriate
  cleanup actions.  The company is appealing  the  order.

      Status (January 1986); The State  has reviewed a remedial action plan
  submitted by Frit under the September 1983  order.   In January 1986,  the  State
  returned  its comments on the  plan to  Frit.

      Status (June 1988); EPA is proposing to drop Frit Industries'  Humboldt
  Plant from the proposed NPL.  Because the site  is a treatment and storage
   facility,  it  is subject to the  corrective action authorities of RCRA
   Subtitle C.

       On July 13, 1987, the Iowa  Department of Natural Resources and Frit
   signed a Consent Order requiring the  company to determine the nature and
   extent of any threat from the site and start the necessary remedial  action.

       On September 30,  1987, EPA approved  Frit's  plan for closing a hazardous
   waste management unit in accordance with RCRA requirements.  Frit will clean
   up contaminated soil and ground water to prescribed levels that will protect
   public health and the environment.

       EPA intends to pursue cleanup under  RCRA authorities and to ensure that
   the cleanup protects public health and the  environment.   In appropriate
   circumstances, Superfund monies may be used for a remedial investigation/
   feasibility study to ensure that the site is cleaned up quickly and
   effectively;  Superfund enforcement authorities  may also be used.   EPA can
   later repropose the site for the NPL if  it  determines that the owner or

                                  Dubuque, Iowa

      Conditions at listing  (September 1985):  John Deere operated a 160-acre
  landfill north of Dubuque, Dubuque County, Iowa,  for disposal of wastes from
  equipment-manufacturing activities at  its nearby Dubuque Works.  From 1946
  until 1974, according to reports the company filed with EPA, as required by
  CERdA Section 103 (c), approximately 3,000 tons of solvents, paint sludges,
  acids, heavy metals, and cyanide were  disposed of in the unlined landfill.  An
  estimated 2,750 people use private wells within 3 miles of the site as their
  source of drinking water.  The site  is within 200 feet of the Mississippi and
  Little Masquoketan Rivers  and adjacent to the upper Mississippi River Wildlife
  and Fish Refuge and neighboring wetlands.

      An area of the Dubuque Works was used for treatment of hazardous wastes
  and storage of drums.  The facility  received Interim Status under Subtitle C
  of the Resource Conservation  and Recovery Act (RCRA)  for these operations when
  John Deere filed Part A of a  permit  application.   The landfill accepted
  solvents,  acids, heavy metals, and cyanide.   It ceased receiving wastes prior
  to the effective date of the  RCRA permitting standards for land disposal and
  was not included in the permit application.

      In June 1985, John Deere  submitted a closure plan for tank and container
  storage units.

      Status (June 1988); EPA is proposing to  drop John Deere "s  Dubuque Works
  from the proposed NFL.  Because the  site is  a treatment,  storage,  and disposal
  facility,  it  is subject to the corrective action authorities of RCRA
  Subtitle C.

      On September 29, 1986, EPA and John Deere signed a CERdA Section 106
  Administrative Order on Consent requiring the company to  conduct a remedial
  investigation/feasibility study  (RI/FS) to determine the  type and extent of
  contamination at the site and identify alternatives for remedial action.  The
  work is scheduled to be completed in July 1988.   After that time, the public
  will  have the opportunity to  comment on the  cleanup alternative recommended in

      EPA may also pursue cleanup under  RCRA authorities  and will ensure that
  the cleanup protects public health and the environment.   EPA can later
  repropose the site  for the NPL if it determines that the  owner or operator is
  unable or unwilling to clean  up the  site effectively.

      Status (August  1989);  EPA has dropped this site from  the proposed NPL.

       Following a period of public comment, a  Record of Decision was signed on
  September 29, 1988  documenting the remedial  action selected.

       EPA is investigating the  possibility that John Deere will design and

                                Mount Vernon, Iowa

      Conditions at listing  (October 1984); U.S4  Nameplate Co. manufactures
  aluminum, brass, and stainless steel nameplates on a 7-acre site near Mount
  Vernon in Linn County, Iowa.  Etching and plating are among the processes
  involved.  Liquid wastes from these processes are acidic and have high
  concentrations of chromium, fluoride, lead,  and zinc.  Prior to 1979, U.S.
  Nameplate treated the wastes  in septic tanks that discharged into a drainage
  field and a nearby creek.  The NPL site  involves the septic tank and drainage
  field.

      In 1979, the State received complaints about the discharge to the
  drainage field.  In response, U.S.  Nameplate constructed a waste water
  treatment lagoon system and began  operating  it  in November 1979.   In 1982,
  based on high  fluoride levels (137 milligrams/liter)  detected in ground water,
  the State determined that  the lagoon was leaking.  On March 12, 1984, EPA
  issued an Administrative Order under Section 3008 (a)  of the Resource
  Conservation and Recovery  Act (RCRA). The order requires U.S.  Nameplate to
  close the  lagoon under RCRA and monitor  ground  water.

      Mount Vernon  (population  3,300) draws its water from two municipal wells
  less than  1.5  miles from the  U.S.  Nameplate  plant.

      Status (June  1988): EPA is proposing to  drop U.S. Nameplate Co.  from the
  proposed NPL.   Because the site is a treatment  and disposal facility,  it is
  subject  to the corrective  action authorities of RCRA Subtitle  C.

      In December 1984, U.S. Nameplate petitioned to remove the  waste  water
  treatment sludge  from the  list of  RCRA Subtitle C wastes.   On  May 3,  1988,  EPA
  proposed to make  the  sludge no longer subject to Subtitle C regulations and
  permitting standards; the  sludge treatment unit,  however,  would be subject to
  all Subtitle C requirements,  including closure  requirements.

      The company appealed the  1984  RCRA 3 008 (a)  order on the basis that EPA's
  hazardous waste list  as originally promulgated  did not provide sufficient
  notice to U.S. Nameplate that its  waste  was  considered a listed hazardous
  waste. An Administrative law Judge dismissed the appeal without prejudice,
  which allows EPA to file another order under 3008 (a).

      EPA intends to pursue  cleanup  under  RCRA authorities and to ensure that
  the cleanup protects  public health and the environment.   In appropriate
  circumstances, Superfund monies may be used  for a remedial investigation/

  covers 45 acres in a strip-mined area in Sheffield, Bureau County, Illinois.
  The company, formerly known as Nuclear Engineering Co., began operating the
  site in the late 1960s.  US Ecology was  later purchased by Teledyne, Inc.
  The site ceased operation  in  January  1983.

      At one time, the site  was the  largest hazardous waste disposal factility
  in Illinois.  It accepted  a wide variety of hazardous waste, including acids,
  bases, low-flashpoint organic solvents,  pesticides, and sludges containing
  heavy metals.  Monitoring  wells  in the shallow aquifer at the site are
  contaminated with aromatic hydrocarbons,  ketones, aliphatic hydrocarbons,

  pesticides.  Stauffer purchased the plant in 1958 from Victor Chemical Works,
  which had made phosphates there since  1902.

      Stauffer Chemical disposed of about  175,000 cubic feet of hazardous waste
  in an unlined pile and in buried  drums,  according to information the company
  provided EPA as required under CERdA  Section 103 (c).  The waste area covers
  2.5 acres.  At one time, Stauffer also had  two settling lagoons.   After they
  were closed, the sediment  from the lagoons  was added to the pile.  When on-
  site disposal ceased in 1979, the 60-foot-high pile was covered with 1 to 2
  feet of clay.

      According to tests conducted  in 1984 by EPA, high levels of arsenic and
  lesser amounts of antimony and selenium  are present in shallow ground water
  below the site.  To date,  the deeper aquifer is not contaminated. However, the
  two aquifers are hydraulically connected so that water can move between them.
  Wells extending into the lower aquifer within 3 miles of the site provide
  drinking water  for an estimated 29,500 people.  The nearest well  is within
  1 mile of the site.

      The site is near  a drainage ditch  that  leads to Thorn Creek 3,000 feet
  away.   Sauk Trail  Lake, which is  used  for recreational activities,  is within
  3 miles downstream of the site.

       Status fAugust 1989);  In response  to public comments,  EPA re-evaluated
  the site documentation and revised the site's score on the Hazard Ranking
   System,  which EPA uses to assess  sites for  the NFL.  The revised  score is
  below the cut-off point EPA has established to include a site on  the NFL.
   Hence,  Stauffer Chemical Co. 's  Chicago Heights Plant  is being dropped from
   consideration for the NFL at this time.

      Conditions at listing  (September 1985); Firestone Industrial Products Go.
  manufactures molded rubber products in Noblesville, Hamilton County, Indiana.
  During 1938-73,  Firestone  buried debris, drums,  and limestone contaminated
  with sulfuric acid and cyanide plating wastes on three areas covering
  23.5 acres.  About 7,750 drums were buried, according to information the
  company provided to EPA, as  required under CERdA Section 103 (c).  The wastes
  consisted of raw material  wastes and cured and uncured products,  including:
  rubber and solvent-based cements,  organic  solvents (chlorinated and
  nonchlorinated), paints, lacquers,  process oils,  resins,  and chemical
  additives.

      On-site wells providing  process water  are contaminated with traces of
  chlorinated solvents, according to EPA tests.  The soil beneath the site is
  permeable, thus facilitating movement of contaminants into ground water, which
  is shallow.  About  14,250  people depend  on municipal wells within 3 miles of
  the site for drinking water.  The  nearest well is less than 1 mile from the
  site.

      The site is an  inactive  portion of an active facility that received
  Interim Status  under Subtitle C of the Resource  Conservation and Recovery Act
   (RCRA) in  1980  when Firestone filed Part A of a  permit application.  In April
  1985, Firestone submitted  Part B of the  application,  which the State has
  reviewed and EPA is reviewing.

      Status (September 1986); The company is providing bottled water to homes
  closest to the  facility, which formerly  used shallow wells.   The company has
  also  installed  water mains,  but they have not yet been hooked up to the  homes.

      Status (June 1988); EPA is proposing to drop Firestone Industrial
   Products Co.  from the proposed NFL.  Because the site is  a treatment and
   storage facility, it is subject to the corrective action  authorities of  RCRA
   Subtitle C.

      Firestone has hooked up the homes with  contaminated wells to public water
  mains.

       In July 1987, Firestone submitted a  draft workplan for a  study to
   determine the type  and extent of contamination at the site and  identify
   alternatives for corrective action.  EPA and Firestone are negotiating a
   Consent Order to accomplish the needed corrective action.

       EPA intends to  pursue  cleanup  under  RCRA authorities  and to ensure that
   the cleanup protects public health and the  environment.   In appropriate
   circumstances,  Superfund monies may be used for a remedial investigation/
   feasibility study to ensure that the site is cleaned  up quickly and
   effectively;  Superfund enforcement authorities may also be used.  EPA can
   later repropose the site for the NPL if  it  determines that the  owner or
   operator is unable  or unwilling to clean up the site  effectively.

       Status (August  1989);  EPA has  dropped this site from  the proposed NPL.

      Conditions at listing  (January 1987); Mccarty's Bald Knob Landfill  covers
  28 acnes near Mt. Vernon, Posey County,  Indiana.  From 1971 to 1978, the
  privately-owned operation accepted municipal wastes from the city of Mt.
  Vernon under a State permit.  In addition,  according to information provided
  to EPA under CERdA Section 103(c),  the landfill received 3,000 tons of
  hazardous wastes from the Mt. Vernon plant  of  General Electric Co. (GE).  The
  wastes contained bisphenol-A and solvents.

      In 1982, GE covered  the landfill with 1 foot of clay topped by clean
  soil, graded and seeded  it to control  erosion, and installed 35 monitoring
  wells.

      Three aquifers  below the landfill  are contaminated with phenol, according
  to tests  conducted  in June and  October 1981 by GE.  An estimated 700 people
  obtain drinking water from private wells tapping the two top aquifers within 3

      n7nd,iti°r|s at listing (October 19841:  The National Industrial
   Environmental Services (NIES)  Site covers 160 acres approximately 10 miles
   northeast of Wichita and 3 miles south of the unincorporated community  of
   Fur ley,  Sedgwick county, Kansas.   Approximately 30 households are within  a
   9 square mile rural agricultural area surrounding the site.

      In 1977,  NIES began operating a hazardous waste landfill on the 80-acre
   north half of the site under a State permit.  Two evaporation and four
   treatment ponds  were also in use.  Wastes received at the facility included:
   liquid chromium, liquid cyanide,  acids, bases, chlorinated and nonchlorinated
   solvents, sludges, and buUc solid wastes.

      The facility  received Interim status in Novanber 1980 under Subtitle C of
   the  Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) when the company filed Part
   A of a permit application. Chemical Waste Managanent, Inc. (CWMI) bought the
   company  in December 1980. In January 1982, the State closed the site when it
   discovered that  off-site ground water, surface water, and soil were
   contaminated with toxic organic chemicals, including known carcinogens.

      In May 1982,  CWtt submitted a hydrogeological report and remedial action
   plan to  the  State.  The plan recommended digging drainage trenches, drilling
   an underground injection well for disposal of the liquid wastes, closure of
   treatment and evaporation ponds,  capping of existing landfill  areas, and
   construction of  a new landfill.   The drainage trenches and new landfill  have
 •  been constructed, the treatment ponds decoimissioned, and the  old landfill
   area capped.  Ground water pumped from the trenches is being hauled off-site
   to a CVMI RCRA-permitted facility.  Monitoring wells are being sampled on  a
   monthly basis.

      In 1984 ,  the State issued a series of  Administrative Orders to the
   company for various remedial actions.
       Status (January iqafil; On May 31, 1985, EPA signed two Administrative

    RCRA, are aimed at stopping migration of contaminated ground water and  closing
    the land disposal units at the facility-  Under the order, the responsible
    parties are to develop Alternate Concentration Limits (ACLS) for 89
    contaminants detected in RCRA Appendix VIII analyses  and other historical
    analyses conducted by EPA, the state, and the responsible parties.

       In November 1985 , NIES updated Part B of its RCRA  permit  application to
    include proposed treatment, storage, and disposal units  for  expansion onto
    adjacent property.

       Status (June 1988): EPA is proposing to drop National Industrial
    Environmental Services from the proposed NPL.   Because the site is a
    treatment, storage, and disposal facility, it is subject to  the corrective
    action authorities of RCRA Subtitle C.

       NtES has closed all land disposal units except one evaporation  pond,
    which is scheduled to be closed by mid-1988.   NIES  is currently in compliance
    with the May 1985 orders.

       After a period of public comment, EPA approved the 89 ACLs developed by
    NIES on February 5, 1988. The ACLs are to be enforced at the downgradient
    boundary of the waste area.

       EPA intends to pursue cleanup under RCRA and CERCLA authorities and to
    ensure that the cleanup protects public health and  the environment. EPA can
    later repropose the site for the NPL if it determines that the owner or

      ryyv^-jtinns at listing (September 1985): Hooker Chemicals and Plastics
   Corp. , a subsidiary of Occidental Petroleum Corp. , started to manufacture
   chlorine,  sodium hydroxide, and hydrochloric acid on a  900-acre property in
   M3ntague,  Muskegon county,  Michigan in 1954.  Until  February  1977,  the plant
   also manufactured hexachlorocyclopentadiene, a toxic chemical used in
   pesticide  production.   One plant has been inactive since 1983; there are no
   plans to reactivate it.

      About 506 ,000 cubic yards of organic wastes were  improperly disposed of
   on 50 of the 900 acres.  The disposal has contaminated ground water and
   surface  water on and off the site with chlorinated organic chemicals,
   according  to EPA tests.  A shallow aquifer below the site supplies  drinking
   water to about  700 people,   mere is no alternative drinking water  source.

      On February  21, 1979, the State filed suit against Hooker to compel
   cleanup  of the  site.  Pursuant to a Consent Judgment, issued in November 1979,
   Hooker removed  most of the waste on the surface in 1981 and 1982 and disposed
   of it in a concrete vault on the site.  In 1983, the State certified closure
   of the vault. Since 1979, Hooker has been pumping and treating ground water
   with carbon to  prevent contamination from migrating off-site.

      One site is  an inactive portion of a facility that acquired Interim
   Status for a small barrel storage area under Subtitle C of the Resource
   Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) when Hooker filed Part A of a permit
   application. Hooker has now decided to close the storage area instead of
   seeking  an operating permit.

      Status  (September 1986): Hooker is pumping eight purge wells, including
   two  installed in 1986, to contain the plume of contaminated ground water and
   has  also upgraded the carbon treatment system,   The State questions  whether
   the  purge  wells are drawing enough ground water  for treatment  to prevent
   contamination from reaching nearby White Lake.

      status  (June 19881: EPA is proposing to drop  Hooker's Montague Plant

  on a 40-acre site in Grand Rapids,  Kent County, Michigan.  A plating operation
  also existed until July 1984.   Process wastes were deposited in two unlined
  lagoons, each covering about  0.25 acre.

      Monitoring wells on the site  are contaminated with heavy metals,
  according to the State.  The  major concern  is potential contamination of
  private drinking water wells, although sampling in May and June of 1984 by
  Kent County showed no contamination.   About 300 people (lower estimate) use
  wells within 3 miles of the site  as a source of drinking water.

      The facility received  Interim Status under  Subtitle C the Resource
  Conservation and Recovery  Act (RCRA)  when the company filed Part A of a
  permit application.  In May 1985, the company filed Part B for a container and
  tank storage units  and for a  landfill to be used for disposal of hazardous
  wastes  from surface impoundments  being closed.   EPA's review determined that
  the Part  B was incomplete.

       The storage tanks were closed in 1985.   In  May 1986,  Lacks submitted a
  RCRA closure plan for the  disposal impoundments that called for off-site
  disposal  of the hazardous  materials in the  impoundments.   Ihe units will have
  to have a RCRA postclosure permit, which calls  for monitoring for 30  years to
  ensure ground water quality.  Ihe Michigan  Department of Natural  Resources and

   Cozad in 1961.   In 1981,  it enployed  600 workers and produced 40,000 shock
   absorbers each day.   Tne company is owned by Tenneco and is still in
   operation.

       Manufacturing processes include metal finishing,  welding, painting, and
   electroplating.  Waste oil was also reclaimed.   Sludges generated from
   treating plant wastes contain  chromium, cadmium, and zinc.   "Bus sludge is
   stored in en-site surface impoundments.  Organic solvents are stored in
   underground tanks.

       Results from a 1982 EPA Water Supply Survey revealed that two of
   Cozad 's seven drinking water wells, located in the vicinity of the Monroe
   site,  were contaminated with trichloroethylene- (ICE) and other synthetic
   organic compounds.  Hie well system serves 4,400 people.  Subsequent sampling
   showed that significant levels of TCE and acetone exist in  cm-site wells.
   Additional data are needed to  establish which part of the facility is
    responsible for the contamination.

       Tne Platte River and the Dawson County Canal  (which  is about  2,000  feet

    Interim Status requirements of Subtitle C.

       In 1985, the Nebraska Department of Environmental Control (NDEC) issued
    a stipulated Agreement requiring the company to take remedial action at the
    site.  Since August 1985, the company has been puiping and treating ground
    water to remove ICE.

       Status (June 1988): EPA is proposing to drop Monroe Auto Equipment Co.
    from the proposed NET,.  Because the site is a storage and disposal facility,
    it is subject to the corrective action authorities of RCRA Subtitle C.   EPA
    terminated the temporary exclusion on Monroe's sludge and the surface
    impoundments again became subject to Subtitle C on May 14, 1987.

       On August 6, 1986, MXTJ approved the company's plan for closing the

  Jersey,  since 1962.  During 1962-76,  rinse water from the cleaning of tanks
  used for transporting a variety  of materials (including resins, organic
  solvents, and acids) was disposed  in an unlined sand and gravel pit behind
  the terminal building.  At the end of disposal operations, Matlack pumped the
  lagoon and left the sludge in place.   The pit was subsequently filled with
  demolition rubble and clean fill.

      The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP),
  Gloucester County Health Department,  and  Matlack have sampled ground water and
  soil both on and off-site.  The  results indicate that on-site soils are
  contaminated with volatile organic chemicals, including trichloroethane,

                            ROHM AND HAAS OO. IANDFILL
                          Bristol  Township, Pennsylvania

      Conditions at listing (April 1985);  The Rqhm and Haas Co. Landfill cavers
  approximately 60 acres adjacent  to the Delaware River just south of Croydon in
  Bristol Township, Bucks County,  Pennsylvania.   During 1952-75, the landfill
  received wastes from the  company's chemical manufacturing plants in Bristol
  Township and Croydon.  Rohm and  Haas reports that it disposed of 309,000 tons
  of wastes in the landfill,  of which 4,600 tons were considered hazardous.   The
  Bristol Township Sewage Treatment Plant  and Chemical Leaman Tank Lines, Inc.,
  now occupy the northwest  corner  of the filled area.

      In 1980, EPA detected contaminants in on-site ground water and surface
  water.  Rohm and Haas is  conducting a  comprehensive study of environmental
  conditions in and near the  landfill.   The company reported the first results
  in April 1984.  The investigation revealed  that ground water, surface water,
  and soil within the landfill  are contaminated.   Among contaminants detected
  on-site are benzene, bis(2-chloroethyl)  ether,  trichloroethylene,  toluene,
  xylene, chlorobenzene, tetrachloroethylene,  various  polycyclic aromatic
  hydrocarbons, and several pesticides.

      Although a fence exists around the site, parts of the site are
  accessible, so that people  and animals can  come into direct contact with
  contaminated on-site soil.

      Bristol Borough, Pennsylvania, and Burlington City, New Jersey, have
  public water supply intakes on the Delaware River within  3 miles upstream of
  the landfill.  The water  systems serve approximately 18,000  people.  The river
  is tidally influenced in  this area.

      Status (June 1988): EPA is proposing to drop Rohm and Haas Co.  landfill
  from  the proposed NPL.  The site is contiguous with  a former treatment and
  storage facility having Interim  Status under Subtitle C of the Resource
  Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA).  Hence, the landfill is subject to the
  corrective action authorities of RCRA  Subtitle C.

      Rohm and Haas is conducting  a study  to determine the type and extent of
  contamination  at the landfill and the  adjoining  Bristol and  Croydon Plants.
  The study will also identify  alternatives for remedial action.  Rohm and Haas
  has taken hundreds of samples of ground  water, soil, surface water, and air,
  and has completed several reports documenting its findings.

      EPA intends to pursue cleanup under  RCRA authorities and to ensure that
  the cleanup protects public health and the environment.  In appropriate
  circumstances,  Superfund  monies  may be used for  a remedial investigation/
  feasibility study to ensure that the site is cleaned up quickly and
  effectively; Superfund  enforcement authorities may also be used.  EPA can
  later repropose the site  for  the NPL if  it determines that the owner or
  operator is unable or unwilling  to clean up  the  site effectively.

      Status (August 1989); EPA has dropped this site  from the proposed NPL.

      On February 6, 1989,  EPA  and Rohm  and Haas entered into a Consent Order
  covering RCRA  corrective  action  at the site.

                         IBM CORP. (MANASSAS PLANT SPILL)
                                Manassas, Virginia

      Ctmditions at listing  (October 1984); Frop 1970 to 1975, IEM Corp.
  degreased electrical components at its plant in Manassas, Prince William
  County,  Virginia.  The operations  involved storing, using, and recycling
  chlorinated organic solvents.   Spills during maintenance have contaminated
  ground water with a variety of  chlorinated organic solvents, according to
  analyses conducted ty IEM.  The contaminated aquifer within 3 miles of the
  site provides drinking water  to about 32,000 people.

      The plant received Interim  Status under Subtitle C of the Resource
  Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)  when the company filed Part A of a permit
  application.

      Status  (January 1986);  IEM  is  performing studies to determine the extent
  of the contamination.  IEM has  also excavated soil containing chlorinated
  organic solvents.

      In January 1985, IEM submitted Part B of a permit application for
  container storage and tank storage units.  Part B includes a workplan for
  taking corrective action under  RCRA Section 3008 (h).

      Status (June 1988);  EPA is  proposing to drop IBM Corp.  (Manassas Plant
  Spill) from the proposed NPL.  Because the site is a treatment and storage
  facility,  it is subject  to the  corrective action authorities of RCRA
  Subtitle  C.

      EPA has approved lEM's 24-month Plan of Study.   The plan calls  for IBM to
  install monitoring wells within 3  miles of the plant and  to take action to
  contain or eliminate contamination of soil and ground water.   IBM connected
  homes with contaminated  wells to Prince William County's  water supply system.

       IBM has removed all  known contaminated soil.   If sampling finds
  additional contaminated  soil, IBM  plans to remove it.  At present,  IBM is
  pumping and treating contaminated  ground water at two locations on  the site
  and one off the site.  As work  progresses,  additional pumping/treating
  stations  may be necessary.

       In December 1987, the State issued the facility a permit for container
  and tank  storage unit.

       EPA intends to  pursue cleanup  under RCRA authorities  and to ensure that
  the cleanup protects public health and the environment.   In appropriate
  circumstances, Superfund monies may be used for a remedial
  investigation/feasibility study to ensure that the site is cleaned up quickly
  and effectively; Superfund enforcement authorities may also be used.  EPA can
  later repropose the site for  the NPL  if it determines that the owner or
  operator  is unable  or  unwilling to clean up the site effectively.

       Status (August  1989);  EPA has  dropped this site  from  the proposed NPL.

       On March  5, 1989,  EPA and IBM  entered into a Consent  Order covering RCRA
  corrective action at the site.

                  MOBVY CHEMICAL  CORP.  (NEW MMOTNSVILLE PLANT)
                          New Martinsville, West Virginia

     conditions at listing {October 1984); Mabay Chemical  Corp.  manufactures
  organic compounds, including polycarbonates and toluene  diisocyanate, and
  ferrous oxide pigments in New Martinsville, Wetzel County, West Virginia.  Bie
  site is bounded on the west by the Ghio River and on  the south by Beaver
  Creek.  Since starting operation of the plant in the 1950s, Mabay has disposed
  of wastes in various areas on the property.  Information MObay provided EPA in
  1981, as required by CERCIA section 103(c), indicated that about 540,000 cubic
  feet of process wastes, many containing hazardous substances,  were disposed of
  on the  property.   EPA analyses of soil and ground water  on and underlying the
  Mabay facility detected benzene, chlorobenzene, vinyl chloride,  and other
  organic chemicals, many of them listed as being disposed of on the site.
  Approximately 1,700 people use wells within 3 miles of the site for drinking
  water.

     The  plant is subject to the Interim Status requirements of  Subtitle C
  of the  Resource conservation and Recovery Act (3CRA) because the company  was
  operating as a disposal facility after November 19, 1980, the deadline for
  submitting Part A of a permit application,  de facility submitted a
  Notification of Hazardous Haste Activity on August 18 , 1980 and  filed  Part A
  of a permit application for container, tank, storage, waste pile,  tank
  treatment, and incinerator units. OHe facility filed a Part B on
  September 6, 1983, listing container, tank storage, tank treatment, surface
   impoundment treatment, and incinerator units.

      status (January T?ftfih On January 16, 1986,  Mabay entered into a
  Consent Order with EPA under RCRA Section 3013.   The order calls for sampling
   and monitoring of the area surrounding and underlying the site.

      Status (Jane 1988): EPA is proposing to drop Mabay Chemical Corp. 's New
  Martinsville Plant from the proposed NPL.   Because the site is a treatment and
   storage facility, it is subject to the corrective action authorities of RCRA.
   Subtitle C.

      After reviewing Fart B of Mabay 's application for a permit  under
   Subtitle C, the West Virginia Department of Natural Resources  (WVEM?) issued
   the permit in January 1987, except for the corrective  action portion, which
   WWN* is not yet authorized to issue.   In June  1987, EPA issued a draft of the
   corrective action permit for public CUIIIBU..  Die only comments received  (from
   Mabay) were incorporated.  EPA issued the final permit on September 16, 1987,
   effective on October 16. 1987.

      The corrective action permit incorporates certain monitoring
   requirements and the schedules specified in the January 1986 Consent order
   issued under RCRA Section 3013.  To date,  Mabay has met the schedules of the
   order, as well as corrective measures called for by studies done under  the
   order.  Mabay  is operating a system to pump and treat  contaminated ground
   water.  It has installed 104 monitoring wells and gathered extensive
   information on the extent of ground water contamination at and near the site.

      EPA intends to pursue cleanup under RCRA authorities and to ensure that
   the  cleanup protects public health and the environment.   Superfund
   enforcement authorities may also be used.   ERV can  later  repropose  the  site
   for  the NPL if it determines that the owner or operator is unable or
   unwilling to clean vp the site effectively.
              (August 1989); EEft has droHJUd the site from the proposed NPL.

      Mabay continues to comply with the corrective action permit.
