Technical Report · Wed Aug 28 04:00:00 EDT 1991

OSTI ID:5001189

The 349-acre Tri-City Industrial Disposal site is an inactive industrial waste landfill located in Brooks, Bullitt County, Kentucky. Land use in the area is predominantly agricultural and residential. The estimated 300 people who reside within 1 mile of the site use ground water from a thin unconfined limestone aquifer as their drinking water supply. In 1988, EPA provided local residents with an alternate water supply, and conducted an emergency removal action to excavate and remove approximately 165 drums in generally good condition, and over 800 cubic yards of suspected contaminated soil. The Record of Decision (ROD) addresses ground water contamination as Operable Unit 1. The selected remedial action for the site includes installing a carbon adsorption system at the Cox Spring; treating contaminated ground water using carbon adsorption and discharging the treated ground water to tributaries downstream of the springs.
