Superfund Record of Decision (EPA Region 3): Drake Chemical Site, Lock Haven, Pennsylvania (Third Remedial Action), September 1988

摘要

The Drake Chemical Site (DCS) is a 12.5-acre inactive chemical manufacturing facility located in Lock Haven, Clinton County, Pennsylvania. The DCS facility includes two synthetic-lined wastewater treatment lagoons, an unlined leachate lagoon, and a dry unlined sludge lagoon. The water and sediments within the two lined impoundments are highly contaminated with site-related organic and inorganic contaminants. The site surface is covered with debris, chemical sludge, and contaminated soil. Approximately 252,000 cu yds of soil, sludges and sediments are contaminated. The Drake Chemical Company was cited several times by State and Federal agencies for violating environmental and health and safety regulations. The focus of the ROD is remediation of the contaminated soil, sludges, and ground water at the site. The primary contaminants of concern affecting the ground water, surface water, soil, and sediments are VOCs including benzene, toluene, TCE, and xylenes, other organics including fenac, phenols, and PAHs, and metals including lead, chromium, and arsenic. The selected remedial action for the site is included.
