Superfund Record of Decision (EPA Region 3): Tyson's Dump Site, PA. (Second Remedial Action), September 1988
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5567450
The Tyson's Dump site is an abandoned septic and chemical waste-disposal facility on a four-acre plot bordered on the east and west by unnamed tributaries of the Schuylkill River. During its period of operation from 1962 to 1970, several formerly unlined lagoons were used to dispose of various industrial, municipal and chemical wastes. Spills and overflows reportedly occurred, dispensing contaminants throughout the site. Surface-water runoff and seeps contributed to offsite migration of wastes toward the Schuylkill River. In 1973 the State ordered the original onsite disposal facility closed. The primary contaminants of concern affecting the ground water are VOCs including 1,2,3-trichloropropane, total xylenes, toluene, and other organics. The selected remedial action for the site includes pumping and treatment of contaminated ground water with discharge of treated water to the river; offsite incineration of organic-phase condensate produced from steam regeneration of vapor-phase carbon beds; and ground-water monitoring.
