Technical Report · Mon Apr 10 04:00:00 EDT 1989

OSTI ID:7003673

Renora Incorporated, an approximately 1-acre site on the National Priorities List, began operations in 1978 as a licensed collector/hauler of waste oil and operated until 1982. During this time, Renora also transported and accepted hazardous substances for transfer, storage, and blending. On-site surficial soils were contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyls, polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, and lesser quantities of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and metals. The shallow groundwater was contaminated with chloroethane and metals. The surface water and sediments were contaminated with metals and VOCs. The site is of public health concern because there is potential for exposure to hazardous substances at concentrations of health concern.
