| Abstract |
The Upjohn Manufacturing Company (UMC) site is located in the Barceloneta industrial park on the north coast of Puerto Rico. Land use in the surrounding area is industrial, agricultural, and rural residential. Between August and September 1982, UMC dispatched approximately 15,300 gallons of a manufacturing by-product waste mixture estimated to be comprised of 65% carbon tetrachloride and 35% acetonitrile to a leaking underground storage tank (UST), resulting in the release of all of the waste into the ground. Investigation by UMC determined that carbon tetrachloride contamination had migrated offsite approximately 2 miles to the north and occupied an area of about 2.1 sq miles. In 1983, UMC began implementing remedial actions to remove carbon tetrachloride from the solid and ground water. This included the installation and operation of a vacuum extraction system until March 1988. The possibility of residual contamination in the soil as a continuing source of carbon tetrachloride contamination in the ground water will be addressed later by the EPA RCRA program. The primary contaminant of concern affecting the ground water is carbon tetrachloride. The selected remedial action for this site is given. |
