EPA RCRA ID: MDD980555189
The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) is the public law that creates the framework for the proper management of hazardous and non-hazardous solid waste. Corrective action is a requirement under RCRA that facilities that treat, store or dispose of hazardous wastes, or did so in the past, investigate and clean up hazardous releases into soil, groundwater, surface water and air. For more information, and for more information on RCRA-specific terms used on this page, please visit EPA’s umbrella RCRA web page or EPA’s RCRA Corrective Action page.

Cleanup Activities
Review of all available records and discussions during a March 31, 2010 site visit indicated numerous small releases were contained and cleaned up. Two larger releases required soil excavation. Currently all areas that contain hazardous waste employ dual containment and the entire site is paved.
A Final Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Site Visit Report was issued on September 28, 2010 for the Facility. A Statement of Basis (SOB) was noticed on December 28, 2010. The EPA issued its Final Decision regarding the Facility on February 7, 2011 stating that Corrective Action was Complete without Controls.
Cleanup Actions or environmental indicators characterizing the entire facility are shown below. This listing, and all the data on this page, come from EPA’s RCRAInfo and are refreshed nightly to this page. For this table, a blank in the Status column could mean the action either has not occurred or has not been reported in RCRAInfo.

Institutional and Engineering Controls at this Facility
Institutional Controls were not required for the site.
Institutional and Engineering Controls help ensure human exposure and groundwater migration are under control at a cleanup facility. Where control types have been reported by states and EPA in EPA’s RCRAInfo, they are shown below. Not all control types are needed at all facilities, and some facilities do not require any controls. Where there are blanks, the control types may not be needed, may not be in place, or may not be reported in RCRAInfo.
