Facility Description
Link to a larger, interactive view of the map.
The Facility is located at 1750 Morgantown Industrial Park in Morgantown, Monongalia County, West Virginia. The Facility is bordered to the west by wooded land and the east by the Monongahela River; also, there are scattered residences and development to the north, east, and south of the Facility. The Facility covers approximately 0.75 acres, which is comprised of Building 170 and surrounding areas in the Industrial Park.
The Facility operates as a transfer facility for RCRA hazardous and non-hazardous wastes. Operations include storage, repacking/consolidating, and transportation of wastes to off-site disposal facilities. The Facility generates small amounts of contaminated personal protective equipment (PPE) during repacking/consolidation activities; no other waste handling activities take place at the Facility. Operations are segregated into functional areas designated as the Central Storage Area (Area A), Lower Storage Area (Area C), Loading Dock Area (Area B), Yard Area, Department of Transportation (DOT) 10-day Trailer Staging Area, Boiler Room, and offices.
Most of the Facility is covered with asphalt and concrete and operations do not take place outdoors. The Facility is surrounded by a six-foot high metal cyclone fence, with three strands of barbed wire. Facility access is through two vehicle gates and security personnel are on-site 24 hours per day.
Contaminants at this Facility
The Facility, which is currently inactive, is permitted to accept a wide variety of hazardous wastes including, but not limited to, contaminated soil, sludge, wastewaters, filter media, paint related wastes, sand blast materials, lamps, batteries, off-specification products, spent solvents, and oils. The Facility is currently permitted to store a maximum of 50,000 gallons of waste at any given time.
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.
