Technical Report · Fri Sep 30 04:00:00 EDT 1988

OSTI ID:5601903

The Bendix site is an aircraft instruments manufacturing plant located near the Village of South Montrose, Bridgewater Township, Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania. The 60-acre site is situated in a sparsely populated area (approximately 500 people) atop a topographic divide between the Meshoppen Creek and Wyalusing Creek watersheds. Natural ground-water discharge areas exist east of the site in a wetlands area of Meshoppen Creek, and west of the site at the headwaters of Wyalusing Creek. South Montrose is solely dependent on private ground-water wells for water. Investigations performed by Bendix from 1984 through 1987 indicated that as a result of past disposal practices, contamination from subsurface soil has been leaching into the underlying ground water. Five source areas of contamination have been identified at the site: a TCE storage tank area, the pet/trench area, an old landfill area, the area of a former solvent evaporation facility, and a former drum storage area behind the plant building. The primary contaminants of concern affecting the ground water and soil are VOCs including TCE. The selected remedial action for the site is included.
