Superfund Record of Decision (EPA Region 5): Anderson Development Company Site, Lenawee County, Adrian, MI. (First remedial action), (Amendment), September 1991. Final report
The Anderson Development site is an active chemical manufacturing facility in Adrian, Lenawee County, Michigan. The site occupies approximately 12.5 acres within a 40-acre industrial park, which is surrounded by residential areas. Site features include several onsite buildings used for manufacturing, storage, laboratories, and offices, as well as a 0.5-acre former process wastewater pretreatment lagoon. From 1970 to 1979, the Anderson Development Corporation (ADC) produced specialty chemicals onsite including 4,4-methylene bis (2-chlororaniline) (MBOCA), a hardening agent for the production of polyurethane plastics. The ROD amends the 1990 ROD, which provided for treatment of the contaminated media using in-situ vitrification, and documents the selection of low temperature thermal desorption (LTTD) as the preferred treatment technology. The selected amended remedial action for this site includes excavating and staging 3,000 to 4,000 tons of contaminated soil, clay, and lagoon sludge with MBOCA concentrations above the 1.6 mg/kg clean-up action level in an LTTD device.
