| Abstract |
The 9-acre McAdoo Associates site is an inactive strip and deep mining facility located in Kline Township, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania. The site consists of two locations: the 8-acre McAdoo-Kline Township (MKT) location, and the 1-acre McAdoo-Blaine Street (MBS) location. The MKT location is situated at the site of an old (subsurface and surface strip) coal mine, and land adjacent to the location is industrial, abandoned, or contains reclaimed mine areas. The MBS location is adjacent to a residential area and a mine spoil reclamation site, and is presently covered with gravel and used for vehicle storage. In 1979, EPA ordered the MKT location to close because of numerous environmental compliance problems. The ROD addresses sediment, ground water, and surface water at the MKT location, and ground water at the MBS location. EPA has determined that no further remedial action other than that already implemented at the site is required to ensure protection of human health and the environment; therefore, there are no contaminants of concern. The selected remedial action for the site is no further action because previous interim remedial activities were adequate to protect human health and the environment. |
