Abstract |
The Rhinehart Tire Fire (RTF) site is located in a sparsely populated rural area in Western Frederick County, Virginia, approximately six miles east of the Town of Winchester. Between 1972 and 1983, the site owner, Mr. Rhinehart, conducted a tire disposal operation which consisted of transporting discarded tires from various locations and storing them on a wooded slope behind his home. By October 1983, an estimated five to seven million tires had accumulated, and on October 31, 1983 caught fire. EPA, through the Army Corps of Engineers, conducted a Remedial Investigation (RI) to characterize and define the extent of possible contaminants. The remedial action will address the control of contaminant migration off-site via surface water runoff. A subsequent remedial action will address source control at the site. The primary contaminants of concern affecting the ground water, soil, and surface water are metals including arsenic and lead. The selected remedial action for the site is included. |
