Background

• The Aldan Industries, Inc. Facility in Mahoning Township, PA is an engineered coated fabrics manufacturing plant in business since August 1, 1997 and is currently subject to conditionally exempt small quantity generator regulations. Aldan Industries, Inc. has not generated any hazardous waste to date.
• Prior to Aldan Industries, Inc. acquiring the site, TRW, Inc. and Textron, Inc. owned and operated manufacturing facilities at this location. These companies manufactured jet engine components and generated spent halogenated solvents, wastewater treatment sludge, and chromium and lead containing wastes. In January 1987, TRW, Inc. retained a consulting firm to conduct a hydrogeologic investigation to identify areas of environmental concern. An assessment revealed contaminated soils beneath the waste oil storage area and machine cleaning operations area. Monitoring wells revealed some groundwater impact. Under the cleanup, 265 cubic yards of soil were removed. The groundwater only required monitoring for 1 year. On February 11, 1988, TRW's consultant submitted a final report documenting completion of the site remediation. A recent review of the January 1988 report entitled "Soil Removal and Disposal Project" confirms the results of the analyses in the report and shows that all contaminants tested were below the current Statewide Health Standards established by Pennsylvania's Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (Act 2).
