Abstract
The Frontera Creek site is composed of 13 industrial facilities and 200 acres of associated lagoons within the municipality of Humaco, Puerto Rico. The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico Environmental Quality Board (EQB) fined Technicon in 1978 for these processes, resulting in the cessation of its mercury discharges to the creek. During investigations in 1986, EPA identified mercury in surface soil and sediment on Technicon property associated with the storage, use, or discharge of mercury-containing compounds. The Record of Decision (ROD) addresses contaminated soil and sediment on the Technicon property and provides a final remedy for the site. The primary contaminant of concern affecting the soil and sediment is mercury. The selected remedial action for the site is included.
