Abstract
The N.W. Mauthe site is a former electroplating facility located at 725 South Outagamie Street in Appleton, Wisconsin. Hydrogen gas and chromic acid mists generated from the chromium plating process were blown outside of the building by a ventilating fan, while splashes, drips, and spills from the plating and degreasing activities were directed to a shallow floor trench and channeled into the sanitary sewer system. The plating bath solutions reacted with components of concrete which produced cracks and pits within trenches and the floor itself. This allowed infiltration of chromium and solvent solutions into the soil and groundwater below the building.
