Superfund Record of Decision (EPA Region 5): Electrovoice site, Buchanan, MI. (First remedial action), June 1992. Final report

Technical Report · Tue Jun 23 04:00:00 EDT 1992

OSTI ID:6656052

The Electrovoice (EV) site is an active manufacturing facility for audio equipment in Buchanan, Michigan. In 1980, the north lagoon and its contents were removed, and the south lagoon was backfilled. However, no contaminated materials were removed from the south lagoon. Ground water monitoring conducted in 1980 revealed significant concentrations of VOCs and metals. The dry well area soils are the principal onsite threat because they are the source of the ground water contamination. The ROD addresses remediation of onsite ground water and soil as a final remedial action. The primary contaminants of concern affecting the soil, sludge, and onsite ground water at the site are VOCs, including benzene, PCE, TCE, toluene, xylenes; other organics, including PAHs; and metals, including chromium. The selected remedial action for the operable unit includes construction of a soil vapor extraction system, followed by excavation of 2,100 cubic yards of remaining sludge, offsite solidification, and landfilling of the sludge layer.
