REMEDIAL STATUS:

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) manufacturing processes led to soil and
groundwater contamination at the site.

EPA added the site to the Superfund program's National Priorities List in 1983.

Cleanup activities included excavation and off-site removal of
contaminated soil and sludge, capping of former sludge pits and the
PVC resin storage area, and groundwater treatment and monitoring.

Surface remediation is complete. The western groundwater plume
achieved cleanup goals in 2016. Groundwater monitoring is ongoing.

Formosa Plastics Corporation completed demolition of the former PVC
plant in 2019.

Under EPA oversight, a Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (R1/
FS) is being conducted for a contaminated groundwater plume moving
eastward from the site. Once the RI/FS is complete, EPA will select a
cleanup plan to address the eastbound plume.
