Background
The Peters Cartridge site is a partially abandoned manufacturing facility located at 1415 Grandin Road, Kings Mills, Ohio. The site is made up of two areas. Area A is about 15 acres located along the south valley wall of the Little Miami River. Area B is 56 acres of wooded land on the borders of Area A. Buildings at the site were constructed in 1916 as a munitions manufacturing facility. The site is occupied by several small businesses. Contaminated soil and ground water (underground water supplies) were found in Area A.
The DuPont Co. purchased the Peters Cartridge property from the Remington Arms Co. EPA considers DuPont to be legally responsible for the pollution investigations and cleanup activities at the site. DuPont submitted an in-depth study to determine the nature and extent of contamination and propose cleanup alternatives. This study is known as a "remedial investigation/feasibility study" or RI/FS and is currently under review.

Site Updates
February 2012
Negotiations are ongoing and EPA is working on an agreement for DuPont to do the cleanup work. EPA expects that construction for site cleanup will start in June 2012.
October 2009
The Record of Decision which explains the cleanup option selected for the Peters Cartridge facility site was issued on September 28, 2009. The cleanup option selected for the site is excavation and on-site consolidation of contaminated soils with "institutional controls" such as zoning and use restrictions, soil management plans, restrictive agreements, public notices and posted signs.
The ROD was issued after completing the remedial investigation and feasibility study, a study of the nature and extent of contamination and potential cleanup options and getting public input to the proposed cleanup plan for the site.
