The department reviewed various information concerning site contamination submitted by the previous owner of the site (Goss Graphics Systems). A no further action letter was sent to Goss in April 1998. Rockwell Grahics System operated two adjacent facilties on Bowling Street. The "west" plant at 4700 Bowling Street was formerly the Hunter Airport and was occupied by Rockwell in 1965. The "east" plant at 4401 Bowling Street was formerly owned by FMC Corporation and was occupied by Rockwell in 1987. The two facilities manufactured newspaper and commercial printing presses. In the 1990s the manufacturing activites were consolidated in the "east" plant leaving the "west' plant for warehousing. The facility was previously owned by Rockwell International and then by Goss Graphic Systems. The current owner is the Gazett Corporation. A Phase II investigation was conducted for both locations by Dames & Moore in November 1995. For the "west" plant this included two soil boirng and the installation of monitoring wells in each boring. Soil samples were collected from each boring and two surface locations and analyzed for VOCs, PCBs, TPH and RCRA metals. Groundwater samples were collected from the new wells and two existing wells which had been installed in 1988. The groundwater samples were analyzed for VOCs, PCBs, TPH and RCRA metals. Surface sample SS-2 was collected near a chemical storage room on the west side of the facility. The sample results showed contamination with PCE (0.157 ppm), 1,1,1-TCA (0.031 ppm), and PCBs (11.6 ppm). No significant contamination was found at the other three sample locations. A limited remedial action was conducted by Dames & Moore in June 1996. Approximately 16 cubic yards of contaminated soil were removed from a 15' by 15' west of the chemcal storage area. Four confirmatory soil samples were collected from the sides and bottom of the excavation. The highest remaining levels of contamination were PCE (6.48 ppm), 1,1,1-TCA (2.75 ppm), PCBs (3.72 ppm), and TPH (2,930 ppm). Clean fill was placed in the excavated area. Eight 15' geoprobe soil borings were installed to further evaluate the extent of contamination. The one boring in the exacation area showed PCE (1.54 ppm), 1,1,1-TCA (0.693 ppm), and TPH (1,290 ppm). No contaminants were detected in soil samples from borings outside of the excavation area. Howard R. Green conducted a Phase II investigation in April 1997. Surface soil samples were collected from seven locations and analyzed for TPH, VOCs, PCBs and metals. TPH was found as high as 14,000 ppm. Howard R. Green conducted a supplemental Phase II investigation in June 1997. Eight monitoring wells were installed ans sampled for metals, VOCs and TPH. Two of these wells were installed approximately 300 feet downdradient from the chemical storage area. Several chlorinated componds were detected in these two wells. This included PCE (44 ug/L), 1,1,1-TCA (245 ug/L), and 1,1-DCE (168 ug/L). Lead was reported above action levels in all but one of the wells. These wells were resampled in February 1998 for dissolved metals and a selected VOCs. Niether lead or chromium were found above the minimum detection limits. The VOCs were found at levels similar to the 1997 sample event.
