Site Description

The facility was known to use chromated copper arsenate (CCA) to treat fence rails and mine lumber. 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

EPA conducted surface and subsurface soil, sediment, and surface water sampling at the facility to determine the need for a potential removal action. Sampling results indicate Arsenic contamination across the site in surface soils and sediment, down to 6'. OSC met with RP to discuss sampling findings, and to secure the site from trespassers. RP has indicated an interest in hiring a clean up contractor to address the contamination at the site. RP has secured the site as per OSC recommendations.


Planned Removal Actions

Notice Letters have been distributed to the RP. Also, the letters include the extent of removal activities that EPA is anticipating at the site.


Next Steps

RP has requested additional tiemframe to reply to notice letters due to family issues. OSC and ORC have spoken with RPs attorney, and have agreed to extend the deadline for reply from the RP.


Key Issues

Site continues to remain secure from potential trespassers
