Superfund Explanation of Significant Difference for the Record of Decision (EPA Region 5): Reilly Tar and Chemical (Indianapolis Plant), Indianapolis, IN, October 6, 1997
The Reilly Tar and Chemical Superfund Site (the Reilly site) is located at 1500 South Tibbs Avenue in the southwest quadrant of Indianapolis. The Remedial Action at the South Landfill was completed in April 1996. This action included the solidification of approximately 12,882 tons of sludge in the south landfill and the placement of a soil cover over the solidified area. During thermal treatment operations at the site, it was determined that the majority of the soils to be treated by thermal desorption contained extremely high BTU levels. A series of off-site disposal options were evaluated and submitted to US EPA for consideration. These off-site disposal options included both treatment options and options for off-site disposal at a compliant landfill. Because the selected remedy employed treatment to address the highly contaminated soils removed from the hot spot areas, and the remedial intent of the ROD was to remove the contaminants present in the soils, US EPA and IDEM favor the treatment options presented for the remaining soils.
