Cleanup Status
Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (VDEQ) is the lead agency for managing cleanups at this facility.
The Facility property consists of approximately 10.6 acres and is surrounded by a combination of commercial and residential properties. Past manufacturing operations at the Facility included the production of cigar tubes, metal cans, metal shells, and metal tubes, plastic injection molding, aluminum and tin tube production, and coating operations, with some limited machining, painting, and printing. CCL (Harrisonburg) Inc. has not conducted any manufacturing operations at the Facility since 2005. The facility is currently occupied by Montebello Packaging. Montebello manufactures aluminum tubes and cans, aluminum marker barrels, laminate tubes, both foil and all-plastic tubes for pharmaceutical, personal care, cosmetics, household, industrial and food products.
Under an Administrative Order of Consent, CCL (Harrisonburg) Inc. investigated nature and extent of and identified trichloroethylene (TCE) groundwater plume under the Facility. The facility completed many phases of investigation and interim measures from 2009 to 2022. A sub-slab vapor extraction system was installed in the existing building at the site in January 2016 and continues to operate.
Samples collected downgradient/side gradient wells (MW-3 and MW-5) do not show concentrations of the compounds of concern above the applicable MCLs. Of wells located near the property line only, MW-8 shows concentration above the MCLs. No potable use wells or springs were identified within a 1-mile radius of the site. Multiple sampling events at the downgradient Big Spring have not shown any COCs above the appropriate MCLs. Therefore, it was established that no complete pathway between the impacted groundwater and human receptors could reasonably be expected under the current conditions.
In July 2015, EPA determined human exposures risk from contaminants were under control. On September 18, 2023, EPA determined the Corrective Action Environmental Indicator for the Migration of Contaminated Groundwater was under Control.
DEQ issued a Final Decision for the site on August 19, 2025. Under this decision, DEQ requires the following actions:
1. The Facility shall design and implement an Agency approved Operation and Maintenance Plan for ongoing remedial obligations which incorporates:
a. Long Term Monitoring Plan - a site-wide long term monitoring program that will demonstrate long term stability and/or attenuation of site related contaminants in groundwater, Big Spring, and efficacy of the sub-slab vapor extraction system.
b. Community Relations Plan
c. Materials Management Plan for any earth moving activities, including excavation, drilling and construction activities, in areas at the Property where any contaminants remain in soils above the Agency’s screening levels for nonresidential use, or in groundwater above the federal maximum contaminant levels (“MCLs”) for drinking water promulgated pursuant to Section 42 U.S.C. §§ 300f et seq. of the Safe Drinking 16 CCL (Harrisonburg) Inc Statement of Basis July 2025 Water Act and codified at 40 C.F.R. Part 141 (or Agency regional screening levels if no MCL has been adopted for a specific constituent).
2. Maintain compliance with Land Use Controls to be implemented through an environmental covenant pursuant to the Virginia Uniform Environmental Covenants Act (UECA), Title 10.1, Chapter 12.2, Sections 10.1-1238-10.1-1250 of the Code of Virginia and associated plans.
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.

The INTRAPAC facility manufactures aluminum and tin tubes and inhaler cans for the pharmaceutical, health care, personal care, household and industrial markets. Manufacturing at the facility began in 1959.
Contaminants at this Facility
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are the primary contaminants of concern. Those found include: trichloroethylene (TCE) and its breakdown products.
Institutional and Engineering Controls at this Facility
The final remedy includes institutional controls that restrict land and groundwater use and require groundwater monitoring.
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.
Are Controls in Place at this Facility?
| Control(s) Type | Control(s) in Place? | Areas Subject to Control(s) | Documents available on-line: | |
