NPL Site Narrative for Distler Brickyard
DISTLER BRICKYARD
West Point, Kentucky
Federal Register Notice: September 8, 1983Conditions at listing (December 1982): The Distler Brickyard Site covers about 35 acres in West Point, Kentucky. It is an abandoned brick-manufacturing facility that was leased and used during the mid-1970s for disposal of industrial wastes. Among wastes accepted were those characteristic of the paint and coatings industries. In February 1982, EPA, using $300,000 in CERCLA emergency funds, removed all drums and contaminated soil from the site. However, spills are suspected of contaminating ground water beneath the site.
Status (July 1983): EPA conducted geophysical surveys and installed monitoring wells to better define the extent of subsurface contamination. Also, EPA recently completed a Remedial Action Master Plan outlining the investigations needed to determine the full extent of cleanup required at the site. EPA is planning a remedial investigation/feasibility study to determine the type and extent of contamination at the site and identify alternatives for remedial action.
