Superfund Record of Decision (EPA Region 4): Interstate Lead (ILCO), Jefferson County, Leeds, AL. (First remedial action), September 1991
The Interstate Lead (ILCO) site consists of seven subsites located in and around the City of Leeds, Jefferson County, Alabama. The site includes an 8.5-acre active lead smelting facility and its parking lot, a service station; a manufacturing company; a church parking lot; a 1.4-acre residential property; a municipal landfill; and a restaurant. Land use in the area is mixed industrial and residential. Parts of the ILCO site overlie the Fort Payne Chert and Ordovician Undifferentiated aquifers, both of which are sources of drinking water for the City of Leeds. State investigations in 1983 and 1984, and a number of subsequent EPA investigations, identified metal contamination in onsite soil, sediment, ground water, surface water, and air. In 1984, EPA conducted an emergency removal action at the church subsite, and removed and disposed of approximately 5,000 cubic yards of waste material and soil offsite. The Record of Decision (ROD) provides a final remedy for soil contamination at all of the subsites except the main facility portion of subsite No. 1, and ground water contamination at four of the subsites as Operable Unit 1. The primary contaminants of concern affecting the soil, sediment, debris, and ground water are metals including arsenic, chromium, and lead. The selected source control remedial action is included.
