The Environmental Conservation and Chemical Corporation (ECC) Site is located off U.S. Highway 421, Zionsville, Boone County, Indiana, 10 miles northwest of Indianapolis. The ECC Corporation began operations in August 1977 as a solvent processing and reclaiming facility. Wastes such as resins, paint sludges, waste oils, and flammable solvents were received from approximately 350 industrial generators. On-site accumulation and unauthorized discharge of contaminated storm water, poor management of drum inventory, unapproved burning of chlorinated hydrocarbons and other solvents, and several spill incidents brought about State and EPA investigations. Remedial investigations characterized current on-site contamination as consisting primarily of volatile organic compounds, phthalates, phenols, and polychlorinated biphenyls. The current principal source of contamination is the subsurface soil. As a result of previous remedial actions at the site, the major sources of contamination have been removed; however, there appear to be individual areas of the site which would warrant further investigation to determine their potential for further contamination. The trend in the available monitoring data show low levels of contamination off-site. There are few potential exposure routes and, therefore, only limited public health concerns at this time.
