Superfund Record of Decision (EPA Region 10): Pacific Hide and Fur Recycling, Bannock County, Pocatello, ID. (First remedial action), (amendment), April 1992

Technical Report · Wed Apr 01 04:00:00 EST 1992

OSTI ID:6655955

The site in Pocatello, Bannock County, Idaho, was used from the 1950's to 1979 as a recycling business primarily accepting scrap metal, including batteries, transformers, and capacitors containing PCBs, all of which were stored on the excavated pit floor on site. A 1988 Record of Decision (ROD) allowed source control using excavation and immobilization, allowing for on-site containment if the source control remedy proved unworkable. EPA later determined that aspects of both the source control remedy and the on-site containment were not feasible and/or were not in compliance with Federal Regulations and might interfere with future cleanup of lead-contaminated soils. The 1992 ROD amendment was primarily concerned with remediation of PCB-contaminated areas, as well as areas contaminated with commingled lead and PCBs, as part of a revised cleanup remedy.
