Superfund record of decision (EPA Region 5): Reilly Tar and Chemical, St. Louis Park, MN. (Fourth remedial action), September 1992

Technical Report · Wed Sep 30 04:00:00 EDT 1992

OSTI ID:5916826

The 80-acre Reilly Tar and Chemical (St. Louis Park) site is a former coal tar distillation and wood preserving plant in St. Louis Park, Minnesota. From 1917 to 1972, coal tar distillation process wastewater was discharged to onsite surface water; as a result, small wastewater spills occurred into onsite soil. The ROD addresses a final remedy for the contaminated Northern Area of the Drift Aquifer, a surficial aquifer that is not used as a drinking water source. The aquifer does provide recharge water for the bedrock aquifers and is hydraulically and geologically connected to the Platteville and St. Peter Aquifers. The primary contaminants of concern affecting the ground water are organics, such as PAHs.
