Abstract | The 242-acre Velsicol Chemical site is a former plant waste landfill located near the city of Toone, Hardeman County, Tennessee. Part of the site overlies a surficial aquifer that was used as a potable water supply in the area. From 1964 to 1973, Velsicol Chemical Corporation used the site to dispose of industrial and chemical plant wastes. The site was closed in 1973 because of the possibility of contaminated ground water migrating offsite. The Record of Decision (ROD) addresses offsite ground water contamination, as Operable Unit 1 and will prevent additional onsite ground water contamination from migrating from the disposal areas. The primary contaminants of concern affecting the ground water are VOCs including carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, toluene, and xylenes; and other organics including pesticides. The selected remedial action for the site is included. |
