Technical Report · Wed May 04 04:00:00 EDT 1988

OSTI ID:7168724

The Keystone Hydraulics/J. W. Rex Company Site has been listed on the National Priorities List. A metal heat-treating facility operated there from the 1940s until 1950. The Allied Paint Company then conducted operations until 1979. The site has been a construction equipment storage area since 1979. Identified contaminants of concern on-site include trichloroethylene (TCE), perchloroethylene (PCE), 1,1-dichloroethylene (1,1-DCE), cis-1,2-dichloroethylene (DCE), and vinyl chloride in well water. Identified soil contaminants include DCE, TCE, PCE, and vinyl chloride. Off-site contamination of groundwater by TCE and vinyl chloride has been found. The site is considered to be of potential public health concern because of the risk to human health caused by the possibility of exposure to hazardous substances via groundwater and soil.
