Background

• The Facility is located at 2933 Sissonville Drive, Charleston, Kanawha County, West Virginia. The Facility, which covers 3.75 acres, is an irregularly shaped parcel of land that is bordered to the north, east, and south by sparse residential development; light industrial and commercial usage is present to the north and east; and heavily wooded area to the west
• The Sissonville property was originally developed in 1965 by beer distributor Seaton Distributing Company. Over time the property changed owners and uses including a BFI industrial cleaning operation that provided chemical and high-pressure water cleaning of industrial process equipment; blending and marketing of specialty detergents, solvents, and additives; collection and transportation of bulk and drummed liquid and solid waste; and segregation and storage of such wastes prior to shipment to permitted disposal facilities
• Around 1988, the Facility was acquired by Pittman Snax Sales. Pittman, the current owner, operates a vending machine servicing and supplying business. No hazardous waste is currently generated or stored at the facility.
• As a result of the various operators and site usage, a number of different structures have existed at the Facility. Originally, there was a large building along Sissonville Road that was used as an office, maintenance shop, and warehouse. Immediately south of this building was a separate equipment storage building and a shed was also noted to be present on the southern portion of the site, located up the hill and away from Sissonville Road. The site currently consists of one large building that is used by Pittman Snax as an office, maintenance shop, and production area. An abandoned waste disposal container is also located on the property
• During the cleaning process, the Facility utilized acids, alkalines, and solvents to clean tanks and equipment. The majority of the Facility's cleaning operations were conducted at client facilities with only a small percentage (1%) conducted at the subject facility. In the process, BFI reportedly generated 121 different waste streams that were either transported directly to disposal facilities or returned to the subject site for temporary storage
