Abstract |
The Pinette's Salvage Yard site is located approximately one mile southwest of the town of Washburn, Aroostook County, Maine, in the northeast corner of the State. In June 1979 three electrical transformers were allegedly brought to the site where they ruptured while being moved from the delivery vehicle. Approximately 900 to 1,000 gallons of dielectric fluid containing PCBs spilled directly onto the ground. Subsequent investigations at the site revealed the presence of a wide range of PCB concentrations in the surface and subsurface soils. The total volume of contaminated soil above 5 mg/kg PCBs and containing other organics is approximately 2,200 cu yd. Detectable concentrations of PCBs and benzene compounds were identified in both the shallow and deep aquifers localized within and slightly downgradient of the spill area. The primary contaminants of concern affecting the soil and ground water are VOCs including benzene; organics including PCBs; and metals including lead. The selected remedial action for the site includes excavation of soil; onsite ground water pumping; access restrictions; institutional controls; and sediment, ground water and surface water monitoring. |
