Technical Report · Thu Aug 27 04:00:00 EDT 1992

OSTI ID:6630439

The 1-acre Geigy Chemical site is a former agricultural chemical distribution center in Aberdeen, Moore County, North Carolina. Land use in the area is predominantly mixed business, residential, and agricultural. The ROD addresses the soil and ground water contamination as a final action. No future RODs are planned. The primary contaminants of concern affecting the soil and ground water are pesticides, including aldrin, dieldrin, toxaphene, DDD, DDE, DDT, and chlordane. The selected remedial action for the site includes excavating an estimated 1,000 cubic yards of contaminated soil; disposing of excavated soil at a RCRA-approved landfill, or an incinerator, backfilling the excavation with clean soil, and revegetating the clean soil, and installing a fence around the site to restrict access.
