Cleanup Status
Note: The lead agency for managing cleanups at this facility is the West Virginia Department of Environment (DEP).
In a memo to the file on June 17, 1999, the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection (WVDEP) Permitting Program Manager stated that the Pittsburgh Tube Company had, “complied with the groundwater requirements as required by the Facility’s Part B Permit issued on September 08, 1988”. After a review of the groundwater monitoring data and subsequent statistical analysis of the data submitted by the Facility, the Hazardous Waste Permitting Unit concluded in an interoffice memo dated August 19, 1999 that, “based on the relatively low concentration of hazardous metals constituents and the low solubility of the precipitated metal hydroxides in the sludges that may have remained after the 1987 interim status closure, the Facility poses very little threat to human health and the environment and there is no need for future corrective action”. The WVDEP Assistant Chief then issued Pittsburgh Tube Company a letter on September 29, 1999 stating that the “WVDEP - Office of Waste Management no longer considers the Jane Lew, West Virginia facility to be subject to the permitting or post-closure requirements of 40 CFR Parts 264 or 265 and, therefore, groundwater monitoring activities for those purpose are no longer necessary”
EPA has determined that no further corrective action or controls are necessary at this time for this Facility. EPA's decision was based on a site visit and a review of EPA and West Virginia files regarding the environmental history of the Facility. Based on this review, EPA has concluded that there are no current or unaddressed releases of hazardous waste or hazardous constituents from the Facility.
A Statement of Basis (SOB) seeking public comment on EPA's decision was noticed on August 5, 2009. The EPA issued its Final Decision regarding the Facility on September 10, 2009, stating that Corrective Action was Complete without Controls.
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.

Contaminants at this Facility
All solid wastes generated at the facility include spent pickle liquor and sludges from the rinsing, coating, and lubricating tubs are shipped off-site for disposal. EPA has determined that its proposed decision for the Facility is protective of human health and the environment and that no further corrective action or controls are necessary at this time.
Institutional and Engineering Controls at this Facility
Institutional Controls were not required at the facility.
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.
