EPA RCRA ID: PAD091551408
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
[
The Corrective Action Final Decision of Complete without Controls became effective November 27, 2012, after a 30-day public comment period. No further action is required to make the Liberty Pultrusions property suitable for any type of land use.
An Environmental inspection was conducted at the Liberty Pultrusions facility (Facility) in November 2008, to determine if human exposures to contamination Several solid waste management units (SWMU) were observed in the inspection, none of which appeared to have issues of hazardous waste contamination. Prior remedial activities at the Facility included the removal in 1987 of two 10,000-gallon underground storage tanks (UST) that were presumably used for heating oil. Approximately 22 cubic yards of contaminated soil was removed from the area of UST excavation. EPA performed a sampling effort in this area in August 2012, that showed no contamination in soil or groundwater above levels considered protective of unrestricted use. As a result, EPA determined that both EIs were met at the facility in October 2012.
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.

Facility Description
Link to a larger, interactive view of the map.
The 4.76-acre Liberty Pultrusions facility is located in a mixed residential and industrial area off of Lebanon School Road approximately one quarter mile west of the Monongahela River. The Facility manufactures fiberglass-reinforced rods and tubes. From 1960 to 1987 the Facility was owned by several electrical companies. From 1987 to the present the Facility has manufactured various fiberglass-reinforced shapes, primarily long rods and tubes that easily lend themselves to the pultrusion process.
The primary hazardous waste generated at the facility is waste acetone, which is used in the manufacturing and cleaning process; however, there is no evidence that suggests that spills or releases of acetone have occurred at the facility. Soil contaminated with lubricating oil was discovered during the removal of two 10,000-gallon underground storage tanks in 1987, and approximately 22 cubic yards of impacted soil was removed. Results from soil and groundwater sampling performed by EPA in this area in August 2012 suggest that no contamination above protective levels remains at the facility.
Institutional and Engineering Controls at this Facility
Institutional controls were not required.
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.
