Superfund record of decision (EPA Region 5): Reilly Tar and Chemical, Indianapolis, IN. (First remedial action), June 1992. Interim report
The 120-acre Reilly Tar and Chemical (Indianapolis Plant) site is a former coal tar refinery and creosote wood treatment plant located in Indianapolis, Indiana. The site is divided into the 40-acre Oak Park property and the 80-acre Maywood property. Environmental problems at the site were found to be related to the improper use and disposal of creosoting process wastes and substances used in manufacturing chemicals. In 1955, alpha picoline, a chemical manufactured onsite, was identified in nearby residential wells. The ROD provides an interim remedy for OU1 and addresses offsite migration of contaminated ground water. The primary contaminants of concern affecting the ground water are VOCs, including benzene, toluene, and xylenes; other organics, including PAHs; metals, including arsenic, chromium, and lead; and other inorganics, including ammonia. The selected remedial action for the site includes two alternatives for the treatment of ground water. The first alternative includes extraction of ground water down-gradient of the site and biological treatment, followed by filtration and activated carbon adsorption.
