Two ponds along the west border of the site have oil sheens. Both drain into Stout Creek. This site is located in a region where limestone is extensively quarried for building stone. The population immediately surrounding this site generally depends on wells, but no drinking water contamination has been documented to date. A trial originally scheduled for January 1983 has been stayed pending negotiations.
Negotiations concerning a Consent Decree are underway.
The extent of the contamination was established in May l984. The description may change as additional information is gathered on the sources and extent of contamination.
