3.3 The Sit* in located on State Route 2, within the Ohio River valleyapproximately three miles downstream of Moundsville, Marshall County,west Virginia. This Site is situated on the east ban* of the OhioRiver and occupies the mid-northern portion of Round Bottom, a sickle-shaped bottomland alluvial deposit situated along the inside of asharp meander in the Ohio River. Round Bottom encompasses an area ofapproximately four miles in length and a width of one-half mile at itswidest point. The entire Site encompasses approximately 420 acres.The Hanlin area consists of approximately 221 acres and encompassesthe central and southern portions of the Sit*. The 01 in area consistsof approximately 146 acres and is situated en the northeast portion ofthe Site. The Allied ares consists of approximately 52 acres andencompasses the northwest portion of the site.

3.4 A primary process formerly performed at the Hanlin Area of the Sitewas the production of chlorine and sodium hydroxide from theelectrolytic separation of brine in mercury electrolysis cells.Mercury is still contained on site in a building in the Ranlin area,hereinafter referred to as the "mercury cell building*.

3.5 Another process, performed in the Ranlin area of the Site producedvarious chlorinated methane solvents, including but not limited tomethyl chloride, methylene chloride, chloroform, and carbontetrachloride. Wastes generated as a result of this operation includesulfuric acid, caustic soda, potassium carbonate, and heavy organicsludge residues from the distillation process. This portion of theHanlin area is hereinafter referred to as the chloromethane production("COT") area.

3*6 The Olin area of the site was used by Olin to produce toluenediisocyanate, methylene dianiline, and hydrochloric acid. Formerly,Allied produced aniline, fumarie acid, nitrobenzene, and maleieanhydride in the Olin area* On September 29, 1994, the tFA RegionalAdministrator signed an Administrative order by Consent which requiresOlin to perform an EE/CA in the Olin area of the Site.

3.7 The Ohio River, which borders the Site to th* west, is used as adrinking water source and for barge traffic and recreational purposes.The closest municipal water supply, which serves an estimated 1000residents, has a drinking water intake on the Ohio River locatedapproximately 25 miles downstream from the Site at Sistervilie, WestVirginia.. Th« Washington Lands Water Well is located approximately3000 feet south of the site and supplies drinking water for

TheWashington Lands public supply well is also considered to be anenvironmentally sensitive area susceptible to damage which may becaused from releases of hazardous substances. The Washington Landspublic supply well is located in the Marshall County West VirginiaPublic Service District Number 2 Well Head Protection Area.Immediately south and adjacent to the Facility is the Koundsvillecountry Club, which maintains and operates an 18-hole golf course,and uses ground water for watering its greens and fairways, samplingand monitoring has been conducted by Hanlin on a quarterly basis atthe Moundsville Country club. Water from the Washington Lands watersystem is also sampled at the Hanlin plant.

3.3 sampling conducted on the Hanlin Area of the Site indicates the groundwater is contaminated with manganese, methylene chloride, chloroform,carbon tetrachloride, and mercury. Currently, two- Ranney Wellsidentified as "A19 and "D" are being pumped to draw water from theunderlying aquifer and contain the contaminated water to within thefacility boundaries. The water is ultimately discharged withouttreatment to the Ohio River through Hanlin' s Outfall 001, formerlypermitted under a National Pollution Discharge Elimination system("NPDES") Permit No. W0004405 issued on February 19, 1983. Hanlinfiled a timely application regarding such permit with the WesHVirginia Department of Environmental Protection ("WVDEP") on July 20,1989. In addition, Hanlin filed another application with the WVDEt onMarch 13, 1992 regarding stormwater runoff and a change in status ofths plant. Final actions on these applications have not been takethe) WVDEP.

3.9 Sampling data from the Ranney Wells A and D indicates contaminantsincluding manganese), chloroform, carbon tetrachloride), and mercury areall being released to the Ohio River in concentrations which exceedEPA's Maximum contaminant Levels ("MCLs") for drinking water.Sampling is performed weekly and is reported on a monthly basis to the

. permitting authority. The pumped water is not being treated prior todischarge.

3.10 Carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, mercury, and methylene chloride, arelisted as hazardous substances at 40 C.7.R. $ 302.4.

3.11 Carbon tetrachloride- is toxio by inhalation and ingestion. Symptomsfrom exposure) include nausea, abdominal pain, dizziness, andoccasionally, convulsions. Delayed effects may include) damage to theheart, liver, and kidneys.

3.12 Chloroform may cause dilated pupils, loss of sensation, abolishedmotor function, and unconsciousness. Toxic effects havs been noted atblood levels ranging from 70 to 250 milligrams/ liter ("•V/l")* .Fatalitias havs occurred at blood levels of 390 ag/1. Chloroform isalso a suspected human carcinogen.
