Superfund Record of Decision (EPA Region 3): Tonolli Corporation, Nesquehoning Borough, Carbon County, PA. (First remedial action), September 1992. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5977085

The 30-acre Tonolli site is located in Nesquehoning Borough, Carbon County, Pennsylvania. Land use in the area is predominantly industrial and residential. Two aquifers, an overburden aquifer and a bedrock aquifer, are found below the site, the latter being a current source of drinking water. Site-related impacts appear to be confined to the overburden aquifer only. From 1974 to 1986, the Tonolli Corporation operated a battery recycling and secondary lead smelting plant onsite. The ROD addresses a final remedy for all the contaminated media present onsite, including battery piles, onsite structures, soil, sediment, ground water, and surface water. The primary contaminants of concern affecting the soil, sediment, debris, ground water, and surface water are metals, including arsenic, cadmium, and lead.
