NPL Site Narrative for Cecil Lindsey
CECIL LINDSEY
Newport, Arkansas
Federal Register Notice: September 8, 1983Conditions at proposal (December 30, 1982): The Cecil Lindsey Site covers 4.5 acres near Newport, Jackson Country, Arkansas. It is a privately owned and unpermitted operation that received industrial wastes from the mid-1960s to about 1979 or 1980. Drums that previously held pesticides and oils containing heavy metals were disposed of, along with wastes from various metal industries. Previously, the City of Diaz used the site to dispose of municipal wastes.
Leachate from the sandy soils on the site contains heavy metals and organic compounds. Run-off and flooding have the potential to contaminate shallow ground water under the site and nearby Village Creek, a tributary to the White River.
Status (September 8, 1983): 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.
Status (September 22, 1989): This site is being deleted from the NPL because EPA, in consultation with the State of Arkansas, has determined that all appropriate Superfund-financed response under CERCLA has been implemented, and that no further response by responsible parties is appropriate.
