Superfund Record of Decision (EPA Region 4): Smith's Farm Site (First operable unit), Bullitt County, Brooks, KY. (First remedial action), (Amendment), september 1991

Technical Report · Mon Sep 30 04:00:00 EDT 1991

OSTI ID:7240608

The 500-acre Smith's Farm Brooks site is a former hazardous waste disposal area located in Brooks, Bullitt County, Kentucky. The site includes a 37.5-acre landfill that, until recently, was permitted by the State for the disposal of solid waste. The site also includes an 80-acre area upgradient of the permitted landfill on a mile-long ridge between two intermittent creeks where the unpermitted disposal of drums containing hazardous waste occurred over a 20-year period. The ROD amends the 1989 ROD and provides source control in the 80-acre area using chemical treatment, rather than thermal treatment. A second operable unit will address remaining potential threats associated with the landfill, deep ground water aquifers, and other suspected areas of drum disposal. The primary contaminants of concern affecting the soil, sediment, and debris are organics including PCBs and PAHs, and metals including lead. The amended remedial action for the site includes excavating 16,000 cubic yards of contaminated soil and excavating contaminated stream sediment and treating soil and sediment onsite by a chemical process, dechlorination or hydrocarbon removal.
