Technical Report · Mon Dec 30 04:00:00 EST 1991

OSTI ID:6678251

The 7-acre Raymark site is an active metal manufacturing and electroplating plant in the Borough of Hatboro, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. The site, located in an industrial area, is approximately 100 feet from the nearest residence. The nearest surface water is Pennypack Creek, which flows 4,000 feet southwest of the site. As part of the rivet manufacturing processes at the plant, VOCs, including 30 to 40 gallons of TCE, were used daily at the site to clean and degrease metal parts. The ROD addresses the soil/source of contamination as the final action at the site and is referred to as OU1. The drinking water and risks posed by groundwater (OU2 and OU3, respectively) were addressed in a previous 1990 ROD. The primary contaminants of concern affecting the soil/source are VOCs, including 1,2-DCE, PCE, and TCE. The selected remedial action for the site is included.
