Site Status
Status
- On July 10, 2009, EPA issued the Final Decision and Response to Comments (FDRTC) for the ITT site. In accordance with that decision, ITT Exelis has continued to remediate groundwater at both Building 1 and Building 3 locations.
Background
- ITT Exelis is an active manufacturing complex. Operations have been ongoing since 1958. Currently ITT Exellis employs approximately 1400 employees. The facility consists of three major buildings and associated infrastructure located on two parcels of land in Roanoke, Virginia. EPA issued the facility two EPA identification numbers because the parcels are not contiguous.
- RCRA Corrective Action activities at this facility were conducted under an EPA Region 3 Section 3008(h) Corrective Action Consent Order. The implementation of the Final Remedy is thru the Facility-Lead CMI agreement with ITT, signed in 2009.
Contaminants and Risks
- Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are the primary contaminants of concern. Those found include: acetone, isopropanol, trichloroethylene (TCE) and its breakdown products, and 1, 1, 1 trichloroethane (TCA), and its breakdown products.
Institutional Controls
- ITT Exelis collaborated with the Roanoke County and Alleghany Regional Health Department officials to establish a moratorium on the drilling of any new water wells in the affected area of the community. However, four wells remain within the affected area. To ensure that these wells are not used for drinking purposes the Consent Order requires ITT Exelis to evaluate usage of these wells twice a year and to monitor new construction areas. In addition ITT Exelis is required to annually contact the Health Department to monitor the status of the moratorium. ITT Exelis reports the results of these evaluations to EPA and the Commonwealth of Virginia
