MONTGOMERY COUNTY
DAYTON
Congressional District # 08
BEHR DAYTON THERMAL SYSTEM VOC PLUME
EPA ID# OHN000510164Last Updated: August, 2009
Site Description
The Site includes contamination from current or former operations at the facilities located at: 1600 Webster Street, Dayton, Ohio; 1287 Air City Drive, Dayton, Ohio; and 1200 Webster Street, Dayton, Ohio. The Site is located in an area with residential, commercial, and industrial land use. It is approximately 2 miles north of downtown Dayton, Ohio.
Site Responsibility
Four potentially responsible parties (PRPs) have been identified at this Site: Chrysler, LLC; Behr Dayton Thermal Systems; Aramark Uniform Services; and Gem City Chemicals, Inc. An investigation of the site contamination has been initiated under EPA-lead with federal funds.
Threats and Contaminants
Groundwater has been found to contain trichloroethene (TCE) as well as perchloroethylene (PCE). Indoor air in residences at the Site has been found to contain TCE concentrations above health-based screening levels. The exposures to this indoor air contamination has been alleviated with vapor abatement systems.
Cleanup Progress
A removal action at the Site has resulted in installation of vapor abatement systems in more than 150 homes to address the indoor air contamination. A fund-lead Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Study (RI/FS) began in August 2008 and is currently in the scoping phase. The RI will determine the nature and extent of site contamination. The FS will evaluate cleanup alternatives for the site contamination.
