  • Tonolli Corporation Superfund Site Nesquehoning Borough, Carbon County, Pennsylvania
    RECORD OF DECISION TONOLLI CORPORATION SUPERFUND SITE DECLARATION SITE NAME AND LOCATION Tonolli Corporation Superfund Site Nesquehoning Borough, Carbon County, Pennsylvania STATEMENT OF BASIS AND PURPOSE This decision document presents the selected remedial action for the Tonolli Corporation Superfund Site ("the Site"), located in Nesquehoning Borough, Carbon County, Pennsylvania. The remedial action was developed in accordance with the Comprehensive En- vironmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA), as amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthori- zation Act of 1986 (SARA), and to the extent practicable, the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP). This decision is based on the Administrative Record for this Site. ; The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has not concurred on this remedy. ASSESSMENT OF THE SITE Pursuant to duly delegated authority, I hereby determine pursuant to Section 106 of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. Section 9606, that actual or threatened releases of hazardous substances from this Site, if not addressed by implementing the response action selected in this Record of Decision (ROD), may present an imminent and substantial endangerment to the public health, welfare, or the . environment. : DESCRIPTION OF THE SELECTED REMEDY The remedial action selected for the Site is a final remedy, and will address all sources of contamination present in soils, battery wastes, the onsite landfill and surface water so that the Site can be used in an industrial manner. This action will restore the ground water to its beneficial use by cleaning the overburden aquifer to background levels and preventing migration of contaminants to the bedrock aquifer by using gradient controls.
