  • 1. Introduction
    1. INTRODUCTION Honeywell Intemational Inc. (fonnerly AlliedSignal, Inc.; referred to herein as Honeywell), is conducting aremedial investigation and feasibility study (RI/FS) for Onondaga Lake, which is located near S)'Tacuse, New York (site definition is discussed in Section 1.2 of this RI). The RIfFS is being conducted under the direction of the State ofN ew York and pursuant to the terms of a Consent Decree (Index #89-CV -815) entered into with the State of New York dated January 9, 1992, and associated stipulations (Consent Decree). Onondaga Lake was placed on the USEP A National Priorities List (NFL) (CERCLIS ill number NYD986913580) on December 16, 1994. This NPL listing means that the lake is among the nation's highest priorities for remedial evaluation and responseunder the federal Superfillld law for ~iteswhere there has been a release ofhazardous substances, pollutants, or contaminants. Honeywell submitted a draft RI report in May 1998. Upon review and comment by the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEP A), the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC), and the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH), the NYSDEC and the New York State Department of Law (NYSDOL) disapproved this draft document and provided comments to Ho~eywell in August 1999. After completing additional sampling in 1999 and 2000, Honeywell submitted a revised RI report in April 2001 (Exponent, 2001 c). This revised report was similarly disapproved by NYSDEC and NYSDOL in July 2001. Thereafter, pursuant to the Consent Decree, NYSDEC/T AMS Consultants, Inc. (TAMS) prepared this reMite of Honeywell' s revised RI report, with the assistance ofNYSDOH and USEP A.

  • MAKING WATER PURE: a HISTORY of WATER SOFTENING from POTASH to TIDE a Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduat
    MAKING WATER PURE: A HISTORY OF WATER SOFTENING FROM POTASH TO TIDE A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY _______________________________________________________________________ by Alexandra L. Straub May 2020 Examining Committee Members: Jessica Roney, Advisory Chair, Department of History Hilary Lowe, Department of History Bryant Simon, Department of History Andrew Isenberg, External Member, University of Kansas Kendra Smith-Howard, External Member, University at Albany-SUNY i ABSTRACT Making Water Pure: A History of Water Softening from Potash to Tide, is a history of water softening in the United States from 1860 through 1970. Water’s materiality, specifically its tendency to dissolve geological features, consistently interfered with labor processes, especially those that relied on the use of soap or steam. For this reason, the management and control over the quality of water in both domestic and industrial spaces was regular and in many cases economically imperative. Nineteenth-century laborers dealt with hard water on the individual level. They experimented with a variety of different chemicals and methods, including the addition of lye, coffee, blood meal, and wool fiber to water. Throughout the twentieth century, the requirements of industrial efficiency as well as new consumer technologies demanded fast, easy, and standard ways to soften water. This motivated manufactures to produce mechanical water softening systems and synthetic chemicals. This dissertation traces this change and asserts that the history of getting water soft is a history of environmental control and management. Water softening is a lens through which to explore often overlooked actors in the history of managing nonhuman nature such as women, domestic workers, laborers, home economists, advertisers, and commercial chemists.
