Superfund record of decision (EPA Region 2): Robintech Inc. /National Pipe Company Site, Vestal, NY. (First remedial action), March 1992. Final report

Technical Report · Tue Mar 31 00:00:00 EST 1992

OSTI ID:6646040

The 12.7-acre Robintech Inc./National Pipe Company site is a light industrial facility located in the Town of Vestal, Broome County, New York. Two distinct aquifers, which underlie the facility, provide 250,000 gallons of water per day for 10 onsite production wells to meet requirements for cooling water in the pipe production process. In 1970, the first floor activities were replaced with polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe extrusion operations. In 1984, a routine state permit discharge compliance sample found organic constituents not included in the permit. The ROD is the first of two operable units planned for the site and addresses remediation of the contaminated ground water. The primary contaminants of concern affecting the ground water are VOCs, including 1,1-DCE,1,2-DCE, 1,1,1-TCA, TCE, and vinyl chloride. The site includes extracting contaminated ground water by pumping from the bedrock and overburden aquifers; treating the VOC-contaminated ground water by air stripping, followed by discharge of the treated water to the permitted effluent discharge point.
