Abstract
The Tyson's Dump site is located in southeastern Pennsylvania, approximately 15 miles northwest of Philadelphia. The dump is an abandoned septic and chemical waste disposal site which operated from 1960-1968. Unlined lagoons were filled with wastes and covered, and new lagoons were created. Major contaminants found at the site were volatile organic compounds, primarily xylenes, toluenes, and 1,2,3-trichloropropane. In addition, chlorinated benzene compounds were also detected. The cost-effective remedial alternative selected for this site includes excavation and off-site disposal of contaminated soils and wastes; upgrading of the existing air-stripping facility to treat leachate, shallow ground water, and surface run-on; and excavation and off-site disposal of contaminated sediments within the tributary which receives effluent from the existing air-stripping facility. The estimated capital cost for the selected alternative is $5,718,000 and operation and maintenance costs for five years are estimated to be $351,000.
