Superfund Record of Decision (EPA Region 5): Pristine, Inc. , Reading, OH. (First remedial action), March 1990. (Amendment). Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5230877

The 2-acre Pristine site is in Reading, Hamilton County, Ohio. The site is bordered by industrial and residential areas, including a trailer park three hundred feet northeast of the site. In 1979, State investigations identified as many as 8,000 to 10,000 drums and several thousand gallons of liquid wastes onsite. Types of waste included acids, solvents, pesticides, and PCBs. From 1980 to 1983, EPA and Pristine removed onsite wastes including paint and solvent sludge, solvents, pesticides, organics, PCB-contaminated soil, and incinerator ash. The ROD amends the soil component remedy of the 1987 ROD from in-situ vitrification to incineration and soil vapor extraction. The primary contaminants of concern affecting the soil, sediment, debris, and ground water are VOCs including benzene, PCE, TCE, and xylenes; other organics including dioxin and pesticides such as DDT; metals including lead, chromium, and arsenic; and other inorganics.
