Facility Description

The Solite LLC facility manufactured lightweight aggregate used in the manufacture of lightweight masonry units, lightweight precast units, and structural concrete. The Arvonia facility operated three rotary lightweight aggregate industrial kilns that utilized liquid hazardous wastes as fuel. The hazardous waste fuel was stored and mixed/blended in a contiguous Hazardous Waste Management Permitted facility site owned and operated by Giant Resource Recovery-Arvonia, Inc (formerly Oldover, Inc.) under EPA ID No. VAD VAD098443443. The GRR facility transferred the hazardous derived fuel through pipes to the nearby Solite LLC kilns for burning. The original Giant Resource Recovery - Arvonia, Inc. property is a 1.335 acre tract of land wholly contained within the confines of the Arvonia facility.
In August 30, 2011, Solite, LLC transferred the property it owned at the Facility to Allied Concrete Products, LLC (Allied)the name of the two operating permits at the Facility(VAD098443443 and VAD042755082) . Allied thereafter operated the tank farm and kilns until closure was completed in 2012. The corrective action requirements under the lightweight aggregate kiln permit VAD042755082 were transferred to the hazardous waste tank farm storage permit in 2013 and VAD042755082 was then allowed to expire.
Contaminants at this Facility
Inorganics were identified as being the primary contaminants of concern.
Institutional and Engineering Controls at this Facility
Institutional controls include restricting groundwater use from beneath a portion of the property and residential use prohibition for four soil restriction areas. Excavation of soil in the four soil restriction areas shall be conducted in accordance with an Agency-approved Materials Management Plan.
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.
