Cleanup Status
Note: The EPA is the lead agency for managing cleanups at this facility.
EPA has determined that the cleanup levels are protective of human health and the environment for non-residential land use, and on September 10, 2015 , EPA issued a final corrective action decision with remedy that is continued compliance with the existing environmental covenant to restrict certain uses of Facility land and groundwater.
EPA expects final remedies to return usable groundwater to its maximum beneficial use within a timeframe that is reasonable given the particular circumstances of the project. Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) has designated the aquifer under the Facility as a non-use aquifer. In addition, monitoring has shown that there are no unacceptable exposures to groundwater by applicable receptors, including receptors outside the property boundary. Also the January 9, 2013, environmental covenant, file # 120791PHI, prohibits the former storage area from being developed for occupied use. Therefore, to limit the potential for exposure to soil vapor, EPA proposes continued compliance with and maintenance of use restrictions as recorded in the environmental covenant.
Cleanup Actions or environmental indicators characterizing the entire facility are shown below. It is not intended as an extensive list of milestones/activities. This listing, and all the data on this page, come from EPA’s RCRAInfo and are refreshed nightly to this page. For this table and the Cleanup Activities Pertaining to a Portion of the Facility table that follows, a blank in the Status column could mean the action either has not occurred or has not been reported in RCRAInfo.

Facility Description
Link to a larger, interactive view of the map.
The Facility is located on a parcel that is approximately 185 feet by 740 feet, and consists of a large two story production building. The facility is surrounded by mixed industrial, residential and commercial properties.
The Facility began operations in 1920 and closed in 2007 after being purchased by Sherwin-Williams Company. Historically, MA Bruder produced and packaged a variety of oil-based and water based paints. The Facility is currently owned by Grays LLC. The current and anticipated future use of the property is for warehousing.
The production was done in a large two-story building, which still occupies most of the production area, and an area on the west side of the building that was used for tank and container storage. Industrial operations were closed in December 2007, and the Facility was fully decommissioned in 2008. Decommissioning activities included removal and clean-up of all remaining chemicals and manufacturing materials; including raw materials, tanks, process vessels, piping, etc., as well as the removal of several storage structures.
Contaminants at this Facility
Contaminants of concern are volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and manganese.
Institutional and Engineering Controls at this Facility
Institutional Controls consist of groundwater monitoring, and the former storage area from being developed for occupied use.
Institutional and Engineering Controls help ensure human exposure and groundwater migration are under control at a cleanup facility. Where control types have been reported by states and EPA in EPA’s RCRAInfo, they are shown below. Not all control types are needed at all facilities, and some facilities do not require any controls. Where there are blanks, the control types may not be needed, may not be in place, or may not be reported in RCRAInfo.
