Worthington Steel

Malvern, Pennsylvania

The Road to Reuse

~~~

This 40-acre facility is located in Malvern, Pennsylvania.
Until June 2002, the property was owned and
operated by Worthington Steel, which processed and
manufactured cold rolled steel and steel products. All
industrial operations were shut down and the property
was sold to O'Neil Properties, who plans to redevelop
the property into commercial offices and retail stores.
Redevelopment at the facility will be strictly for
commercial use only.

O'Neil Properties is addressing the groundwater and soil contamination at the facility, which
resulted from the industrial uses associated with the manufacturing of steel products. The
primary contaminants in the groundwater at the facility are cyanide and localized volatile
organic compounds (VOCs), which are defined and stable within the facility's property lines.
Groundwater monitoring will ensure that these plumes remain onsite.

To expedite the redevelopment of the former facility, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) transferred the regulatory oversight to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental
Protection (PADEP). EPA expects that the investigation and remediation will proceed under the
PADEP Act 2 Program and intends to rely upon PADEP to resolve any current or future closure
and corrective action issues associated with the Facility.
