1.1.1 Incident Category
Manufacturing/processing/maintenance - oil and gas refining
1.1.2 Site Description
The North Plant site is composed of three parcels (parcels 1, 2, and 4). The former MGP was located on parcel 1.
1.1.2.1 Location
The Site is located on vacant land at 849 Pershing Road, Waukegan, Lake County, Illinois. The geographical coordinates for the Site are Latitude 42.3737 north and Longitude -87.8246 west. The Site is bounded to the north by Dahringer Road, on the west by Pershing Road, on the east by the Elgin, Joliet & Eastern Railroad, and to the south by property owned by A.L. Hansen Manufacturing Company. The Site is located about one-half mile west of Lake Michigan.
1.1.2.2 Description of Threat
Past data indicates the presence of TCLP benzene concentrations exceeding 0.5 mg/l in addition to concentrations exceeding the 540 mg/kg RML. Depth to groundwater in the area varies from 2-5 feet below ground surface. Groundwater flows east towards Lake Michigan and organics contained in the DNAPL may leach into the groundwater and migrate to Lake Michigan.
1.1.3 Preliminary Removal Assessment/Removal Site Inspection Results
Several site investigations have occurred at the Site since 1990. Analytical results from historical samples in the proposed removal areas indicate the presence of elevated concentrations of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and VOCs in the DNAPL present in both the surface and subsurface.

James Anderson Company
Complete a weekly erosion control inspection. The inspections are performed in accordance with the Watershed Development Permit and the general National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit.
Burns & McDonnell
Burns & McDonnell is performing ambient air monitoring and sampling along the site perimeter at the Former North Plant MGP Site in accordance with the North Plant MGP Site – Removal Action Work Plan (RAWP). They are completing real time ambient air monitoring 24-hours a day, seven days a week at seven locations (AMS-1 through AMS-7) along the Site perimeter. They are collecting 24-hour perimeter air samples at upwind and downwind locations at the Air Monitoring Stations on a routine basis at frequencies and quantities outlined in the RAWP. Burns & McDonnell is also performing real-time handheld and observation monitoring as described in the RAWP.
