The 127 TELEGRAPH ROAD SITE, aka."ACE DRUM" located in Chickasaw, Alabama was used to house a wide assortment of Industrial grade paints, solvents and other unknowns.

Hundreds of 1 and 5 gallon buckets of paint and other volatile materials are improperly store, leaking their flammable contents due to exposure to the elements, and physical deterioration of their metal and plastic containers.

Analytical results derived form the Removal Assessment revealed the presence of elevated levels of organics, including: Toluene, Ethylbenzene, Xylenes and Isopropylbenzene. These listed substances pose a significant threat to public health and the environment.

A Fund Lead Removal Action at this Site is expected to last 4-5 weeks.
