Superfund Record of Decision (EPA region 5): Tri-State Plating, Columbus, IN. (First remedial action), March 1990. Final report
The 3,900-square foot Tri-State Plating site is an abandoned metal plating facility in Columbus, Bartholomew County, Indiana. Land use in the vicinity of the site is residential and industrial. Metal plating operations at the site began during the 1940s. In 1983, the State identified soil contaminated with chromium, lead, and other metals, which was thought to be a result of an onsite waste spill. In 1984, following additional onsite waste disposal violations, onsite spills, and the failure of Tri-State plating to install an onsite waste treatment system, the State blocked sewers from the site and cut off the water supply. From 1987 to 1989, in two separate actions, EPA removed 27 drums of inorganic material from the storage building, excavated contaminated onsite soil, decontaminated and demolished all onsite structures. This ROD addresses the contaminated onsite ground water. The primary contaminants of concern affecting the ground water are metals including chromium.
