Technical Report · Mon Sep 30 04:00:00 EDT 1991

OSTI ID:5177670

The 24-acre Motor Wheel site is an inactive industrial waste disposal site in Lansing, Ingham County, Michigan. Land use in the area is predominantly industrial. The site overlies a glacial till and a glacial aquifer. In 1978, industrial wastes and degraded soil were excavated and stockpiled onsite under a clay cover. The Record of Decision (ROD) addresses the waste mass and ground water contamination in the perched zone and the glacial aquifer. The primary contaminants of concern affecting the soil, debris, and ground water are VOCs including benzene, PCE, TCE, toluene, and xylenes; organics including PAHs, PCBs, and pesticides; and metals including arsenic, chromium, and lead. The selected remedial action for the site includes backfilling the northern portion of the fill area with 125,000 cubic yards of fill; capping the disposal area with a 14.9-acre multi-media cap; installing a slurry wall at the western and southern boundary of the disposal area; installing ground water recovery wells.
