OSTI ID:5326474

The Sangamo/Crab Orchard NWR (USDOI) site, in the Crab Orchard National Wildlife Refuge, is near Carterville, Illinois. The Department of Defense (DOD), the original administrator of the refuge, leased portions of the refuge to munitions and explosives manufacturers who continue to operate onsite. In 1947, DOD transferred the administrator of the refuge to the Department of the Interior (DOI). DOI also leased portions of the refuge to manufacturers of PCB transformers and capacitors, automobile parts, fiberglass boats, plated metal parts, and jet engine starters. The ROD focuses on the PCB-contaminated soil and sediment in four sites. The primary contaminants of concern affecting soil and sediment are organics including PCBs and metals including lead.
