Federal Register Notice: September 8, 1983Conditions at listing (December 1982): Velsicol Chemical Corp.'s Hardeman County Dump, near Toone, Tennessee, accepted the company's process wastes in the 1960s and 1970s. Detection of organic contaminants in local wells in 1978 resulted in extensive sampling and geologic and hydrological assessments. Velsicol capped the site and agreed to monitor until December 1983 to determine the effectiveness of the action.
Status (July 1983): When the monitoring period ends, Velsicol, the State, and EPA will review the effectiveness of the cap. Any additional measures to control the site will be discussed at that time, as well as the possible need for decontaminating area ground water.
