The Del Val Ink and Color Site is located in a mixed light industrial/residential neighborhood at 1301 Taylors Road, Cinnaminson, New Jersey. The Site is a former ink manufacturing facility that produced water and oil based printing inks for the tile, wall paper, food packaging and pharmaceutical industries. The company ceased operations and entered into Chapter 7 Bankruptcy sometime in December of 2010. A tour of the facility conducted by EPA on June 8, 2011 indicated that the facility contains a manufacturing area, two laboratories and an exterior loading dock that all house approximately 350 drums and potentially over 1,500 laboratory-sized containers of chemical products, finished inks and flammable hazardous wastes. Utilities to the facility were shut down some time over the winter, resulting in freeze damage to the fire suppression system and loss of the security system. The storage of flammable hazardous wastes with no fire suppression system or site security has prompted the Cinnaminson Fire Department to issue a Notice of Imminent Hazard to the property owner and the Bankruptcy Trustee. The NJDEP verbally requested EPA assistance on June 8, 2011 to mitigate the immediate hazards at the Site.
