| Abstract | The Sand Creek Industrial site is chemical manufacturing facility in Commerce City, Adams County, Colorado. Land use in the area surrounding the site is primarily industrial and residential with 13 residents onsite. Production wells north and downgradient of the site supply drinking water to the county. Beginning in the 1960s, the Colorado Organic Chemical Company (COC) conducted pesticide manufacturing operations onsite. Disposal and onsite storage areas include a landfill and acid pits. Onsite fires in 1968 and 1977, as well as improper pesticide storage practices, resulted in pesticide-contaminated soil, ground water, and surface water. A 1989 Record of Decision (ROD) addressed OU1, which included remediating some of the subsurface soil. This second ROD addresses OU5, and includes the final response action for the 14,000 cubic yards of contaminated soil present onsite at the COC area. The primary contaminants of concern affecting the soil are organics including pesticides; and metals including arsenic and chromium. |
