Superfund Record of Decision (EPA Region 4): Carolina Transformer site, Cumberland County, Fayetteville, NC. (First remedial action), August 1991. Final report
The 4.8-acre Carolina Transformer site is a former electrical transformer rebuilding and repair facility in Fayetteville, Cumberland County, North Carolina. The site may overlie as many as three aquifers, of which only the shallow confined aquifer has been found to be contaminated. From 1978 to 1982, a number of EPA and State investigations identified PCB-contaminated soil and ground water. In 1982, the State determined that runoff from the site violated surface water quality standards for PCBs. In 1984, EPA began clean-up operations at the site, and removed and disposed of 975 tons of contaminated soil offsite in a RCRA-permitted landfill. The Record of Decision (ROD) addresses final remediation of contaminated soil, sediment, debris, and ground water. The primary contaminants of concern affecting the soil, sediment, debris, and ground water are VOCs including benzene and toluene; other organics including dioxin and PCBs; and metals including arsenic, chromium, and lead. The selected remedial action for this site is included.
