Facility Description

ITW Philadelphia Resin, a division of Illinois Tool Works (ITW), facility is a three-acre parcel with a 38,000 square foot manufacturing building, located in the southeastern section of Montgomeryville, Pennsylvania.
The site is located in the Montgomeryville Industrial Center in Montgomery Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. The site is surrounded by commercial and light industry properties. Residential areas are located further to the northwest, northeast and southeast of the industrial park. A commercial quarry operation is located southwest of the industrial park. A day care facility is located approximately 200 feet northwest of the facility.
The Property was purchased by Philadelphia Resin Corporation in 1973, and was operated as a manufacturing facility. ITW purchased the property in 1983. The Facility was permitted to operate a hazardous waste storage facility.
The facility currently generates a variety of adhesives and specialty coating for industrial and marine applications. Products are epoxy-based adhesives, specialty coating and pourable chocking and grouting compounds. Manufacturing process consist of blending raw materials to form the finished products. The raw materials include epoxy resins, hardeners, fillers and modifiers. Wastes are generated as a result of cleaning the mixing equipment with solvents after use. Wastes generated at the facility consist of D001 (characteristically ignitable) and F003/F005 (spent non-halogenated solvents) wastes. Wastes that contain resin and curing agents are subsequently drummed and transported to the waste accumulation area for offsite disposal by licensed contractors.
The current hazardous waste storage area is located inside the building in the northeast corner. The area is constructed with concrete floors and secondary containment. Prior to 1984, the accumulation area was outside of the northwest corner of the building and consisted of an open caged area. In 1984, the outdoor accumulation area was closed in accordance with the approved closure plan, and the facility constructed an addition to the building in the same area.
There are six above-ground storage tanks (ASTs) located at the site. Three ASTs are located along the inside western wall and three ASTs are located inside along the southwestern corner of the building. All ASTs are situated on concrete floors within secondary containment that consists of three-foot high concrete wall.
Contaminants at this Facility
Wastes generated at the facility consist of D001 (characteristically ignitable) and F003/F005 (spent non-halogenated solvents) wastes. All wastes that contain resin and curing agents are subsequently drummed and transported to the waste accumulation area for offsite disposal by licensed contractors. The EPA has determined that there is no evidence of spills or releases at the facility.
Institutional and Engineering Controls at this Facility
Institutional controls were not required at the facility.
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.
