| Abstract |
The Superfund program was designed to mitigate the dangers posed by improper disposal of hazardous waste. The A.L. Taylor site, also known as 'Valley of the Drums', was one of the first challenges to Superfund. Valley of the Drums was the scene of one of the largest drum removals in the history of the program. The successful cleanup was accomplished through some notable achievements, including: a significant reduction of risks to local citizens and the environment due to several emergency removal actions; use of state-of-the-art cleanup technologies; combined efforts between the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Kentucky Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Protection (KDNREP); and recovery of $1.8 million of EPA's cleanup costs from polluters. The cooperative effort among EPA, State and local groups culminated in a cleanup of tremendous proportions and a safe community and environment. |
