Abstract | The 5-acre Organic Chemicals site is an inactive solvent reclamation and chemicals manufacturing facility in Grandville, Kent County, Michigan. The site includes several onsite buildings, structures, above-ground storage tanks and drum storage areas, a boiler facility, a wastewater treatment facility, and a seepage lagoon. Wetlands potentially are located 1,900 feet northwest of the site, and the Grand River is located 0.95 miles to the north of the site. In 1980, discharges to the lagoon ceased, and the company installed a wastewater pretreatment system, which discharged wastes to the sanitary sewer system. Subsequently, in 1981, the seepage lagoon sludge was excavated and disposed of offsite. The selected remedial action for the site includes onsite pumping and treatment of ground water using a treatment system consisting of an equalization/sedimentation basin, two granular activated carbon vessels, and an air stripper polishing unit; discharging the treated water onsite to the Grand River; and disposing of treatment carbon residuals in an offsite landfill. |
