These three' companies arranged for-the transport of hazardousksubstances and wastes, including but not limited to, plating and etching solutions,, to •the Site, where they were treated to recover metal constituents. . The recovered materials were used, in certain instances, "to manufacture or formulate, industrial.and agricultural pesticides, including fungicides. During the period of operation at least eleven onsite earthen lagoons, which have since been back-filled, were utilized for storage, process and/or disposal of hazardous substances, including the spent solutions described above. One lagoon is known'to have been either unlined or lined with materials of uncertain permeability and integrity. These processes left extensive hazardous substance contamination on and around thmfcftite, as further described below.

3.17 The Site is situated on a 112 acre tract of land off of U.S. Route 611, just north of U.S. Route 412 in Nockamixon Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania. (See the map of the area which is Attachment I hereto.) The Site comprises approximately thirty acres upon which the facility buildings and lagoons were once active. Much of the former lagoon area remains either devoid of vegetation or shows signs of stressed vegetation. The building* onsita art abandoned and exist in various stages of AR00008I* Revere. Chemical site 5 Docket NO. 111-^92-oi-DC dilapidation. Two former spray fields are located on the site, one directly eaat and the other 'directly south of the process areas. Two unnamed tributaries of Rapp Creek run through the Site. Rapp Creek, which lies approximately 750 feet'from the Site, drains Into Tinicum Creek which, in turn, flows into the Delaware River. The Delaware River lies approximately 6 miles from the confluence of Rapp 'Creek and Tinicum Creek.

3.18 During its ye*rs~-of--pperation, activities a£ the Site were monitored by the Bucks County Department of Health ("BCDOH"). in approximately 1966, the BCDOH observed washes flowing from the Site into surface waters adjacent to the Site and fined Echo, Inc., $500.00 for. such unauthorized"discharge.° The Site's operators were cited.by the. Commonwealth'°of Pennsylvania for numerous water pollution violations, including a fish kill in Tinicum Creek, into' which tributaries from th£ Site flow, and improper waste disposal practices before tfte Site's closure and abandonment in approximately- DecSmber of I969a. , .. 3.19 In Decembeir 1970, the Pennsylvania'Department of HealtJi ("PADOH") initiated a cleanup..project at the Site. During the PADOH cleanup, lirge volumes of waste liquid and sludge were . removed from the Site and several lagoons were .covered or otherwise closed. .••';. ". .

Thin authorized EPA to expend up to $125,000 in Superfund Trust Fund monies to sample, control and stabilize the Site. 3.23 On or about March 29, 1984, EPA began an emergency response action at the Site. Approximately $112,988 of Superfund Trust Fund monies has been expended by EPA for the sampling and

National Priorities -List ("NPL"), in accordance with Section 105(8) of CERCLA, 42 OfS.C. S 9605(8). 3.26 On or 'about December 19, 1988, AT&T, Carpenter, IBM and Ya-tes entered into an Administrative Order by Consent [Docket No III-89-02-DC] with EPA for the performance of a Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Study .(."RI/FS") in order to determine the nature and extent of any contamination and threat to public health or welfare or to the environment and » to determine and evaluate alternatives for remedial action at the

3.27 Beginning on or after December 19, .1988, Respondents AT&T, carpenter, .IBM and Yates began -conducting' investigatory and other activities at the? Site .pursuant to the RI/FS. The RI/FS is still .ongoing. As part of °the RI/FS activities, a fence was erected around the site and silt fencing was placed at certain locations on the Site, other. RI/FS investigations to date have included certain sampling and analyses of surface soils, subsurface soils, .surface water, groundwater, waste materials- and ecosystems and also included certain other physical analyses and studies and other activities. The presence of buried drums. at certain locations in the former process area of the Site . were identified during investigations. Further investigations,, including exploratory excavations, uncovered an estimated 500' drums and associated 'wastes. During these investigations; the drums. and wastes were staged onsite in three temporary staging .areas . These staging areas are of a temporary design consisting of a high-density polyethylene liner placed over hay bales creating surface covers and dikes into which the drums and wastes were placed, over all of which tarpaulins were placed. 3.28 In approximately August 1991, EPA issued a Proposed Remedial Action Plan for the Site. The Proposed Plan included the removal and off-site treatment and/or disposal of the drums and associated wastes identified in 3.27, above. 3.29 on or about September 16 and 17, 1991, EPA inspected the site and the condition of the drums, associated wastes and the temporary staging area structures. During the inspection EPA observed approximately six staging areas containing piles of materials under tarpaulins in deteriorating temporary dike structures, including the three ataging areas with the drums and AR000086 Revere Chemical site 7 Docket No. III-92-oi-DC associated wastes described in Paragraph 3.27,°above. The tarpaulins over, the piles identified in Paragraph .3.27 were torn and pulled away from the wastes at certain points. Exposed wastes and drums were visible and waste soils were visibly eroded. The presence of waste soils and sediment residues on the dikes indicated that wasts materials had washed from or could wash from the diked areas during heavy rains. 3.30 In addition, during, the Site inspections on or about September 16 and 17, 1991, EPA observed many areas of stained soils, exposed o? partially exposed.remnants of drums and discolored materials suspected of being wastes at the soil surface. EPA aliio observed a large area of the Site, identified as the former Site process area by Site maps and contract personnel conducting the RI/FS, which was devoid of vegetation or sparsely vegetated. The RI/FS contract personnel indicated that ' the process area had apparently been devoid of vegetation since the..Site was abandoned and PADOH had conducted a response action in the early 1970s. They further indicated that the lack of vegetation was apparently due to the presence of toxic concentrations of metals in the soils, including copper and arsenic, identified by RI/FS sampling. .This area was heavily eroded. EPA observed evidence.of continuing'erosion in the weathered condition of recently disturbed areas and vehicle tracks left by excavation-and Site investigation.equipment. EPA observed a visibly damaged portion of the Site security fence. 'EPA was told by contractors responsible for. the conduct of the RI/FS that the Site had been entered by unknown persons who stole equipment from the Site operations trailer. 3.31 On or about September 20, 1991 the Regional Administrator of EPA Region III signed, a Request for Ceiling Increase and Twelve-month Exemption ("Ceiling Increase") and an Approval of a Request for Ceiling Increase and Twelve-month Exemption ("Approval") authorising the expenditure of up to $591,500 of Federal Superfund Trust monies to mitigate or abate the release or potential release of hazardous substances or contaminants and any threat or potential threat to public .health or welfare or to the environment posed by such a release or potential release at the Site, ithe Ceiling Increase authorized EPA to expend funds to dispose otf^mtaged drums and associated wastes at the Site ' *. identified "in 3.27, above, and consistent with the Proposed Remediation Plan identified in 3.28, above, among other response actions. In the Approval, the Regional Administrator determined that the release or potential release of. materials the Site, including hazardous wastes and substances identified in the Ceiling Increase as hazardous substances, posed a threat to human health and to the environment. 3.32 On or about October 7, 1991, EPA sent each of the Respondents a letter notifying them of their potential liability and offering to negotiate for removal action at the Site. 4R000087 „" _-. .- -t*cV *;'* «- v " Revere Chemical Site 8 Docket No. III-92-01-DC

Arsenic compounds are teratogenic and have adverse reproductive effects in animals; Chronic exposure to arsenic is associated with polyneuropathy and skin lesions. * Cadmium - cadmium is carcinogenic in animals exposed by inhalation and may also be carcinogenic in humans. Cadmium is a known animal teratogen and reproductive .toxin. It has chronic effects on the kidney. . ' ' . Chromium -^Chromium is a heavy metal that generally exists in either a Urivalenl: or hexavalent oxidation state.. An increased incidence-ejf lung cancer warn seen in workers. occupationally exposed to chromium VI. Hexavalent chromium also causes kidney damage in animals and humans, and is carcinogenic in rats. .Trivalent chromium is less toxic than hexavalent chromium; its main effect is contact dermatitis in sensitive individuals. Lead - Lead is classified by the EPA as a Group B2 - Probable Human Carcinogen. With regard to non-carcinogenic endpoints, lead exposure has been associated with fatigue, headache, abdominal cramping, kidney dysfunction, and anemia. Additionally, neurological deficits (peripheral and cantral) AR000089 Revere Chemical Site 10 Docket No. lll-92-oi-oc been reported following exposure to this heavy metal. Young children are particularly susceptible to the toxic effects of lead, specifically with regard to impairment of cognitive development. Tetrachloroetbyleae ("PCE") -PCE is classified as a Group B2 - Probable Human Carcinogen by the EPA. Repeated contact may cause dermatitis, as well as, eye and nose irritation. Additionally, headache, dizziness, fatigue, hepatic injury and renal injury have been observed. Trichloroethyleae ("TCE") - TCE is classified as a Group B2 - Probable Human Carcinogen by the EPA. Upon exposure, this commonly used industrial degreaser may cause irritation of the eyes, nose and throat, as well as contact dermatitis. Exposure to TCE may also depress, the central nervous system, eliciting such symptoms as headache, dizziness, tremors, nausea and fatigue. Peripheral neuropathy has also been reported.
