Remedial Status: • Cleanup activities at the site began in 1982 following the signing of an intergovernmental/corporate cooperation agreement (ICCA) between site stakeholders. • The remedy was constructed to prevent exposure to the acid waste sludge, eliminate potentially unhealthy odors and vapors and prevent off-site migration of the sludge through surface water and groundwater. • Cleanup activities included construction of a slurry wall around the unlined pit and a clay cap to prevent direct exposure and seepage of water through the pit and into groundwater. Traffic barriers were constructed around the cap to prevent damage from motor vehicles. • Groundwater monitoring is ongoing. • EPA deleted the site from the National Priorities List in 2003.
