Title: Superfund Record of Decision (EPA Region 9): Del Amo Facility Waste Pits Operable Unit, Los Angeles, CA, September 5, 1997

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:673778

This decision document presents the selected remedial action for the Del Amo Waste Pits Operable Unit (Waste Pits OU) of the Proposed Del Amo Superfund Site (Del Amo Site), in Los Angeles, California. The remedy selected in this ROD addresses the principal threat remaining at the Waste Pits Area by selecting actions that will prevent future releases of hazardous substances from the remaining waste materials present in the waste pits, either upward to the surface, downward into the groundwater, or laterally out from the pits, that would create unacceptable risks to public health or welfare or the environment. The ROD also selects measures intended to prevent additional contamination of groundwater beneath the Waste Pits Area by selecting response actions to clean-up hazardous substance contamination that had been previously releases from the waste pits and is currently present in the vadose zone soils.
