Site Description

The RCRA Program has requested Superfund investigation and assistance regarding the Kessel Lumber Supply Company in Keyser, West Virginia. This facility was a one time wood treatment facility which ceased operations in 2003. The facility was known to use chromated copper arsenate (CCA) to treat fence rails and mine lumber. It is believed that the facility stores CCA onsite. RCRA had notified the facility regarding the proper disposal of CCA tanks located on-site, but residual product remains on-site with the potential to affect groundwater in the surrounding community.


Current Activities

A visual assessment was conducted at the facility. EPA will meet with WVDEP representatives to discuss potential future CERCLA action at the facility.


Next Steps

EPA will perform a site assessment by collecting soil samples and installing groundwater monitoring wells to determine the extent of contamonation caused by the past usage of chromated copper arsenate (CCA).


Key Issues

Future meeting with WVDEP representatives on-site.
