Reasons for Exemption
The Facility was constructed in 1973 and was issued a Hazardous Waste Facility Post Closure Permit in 2007. The renewal of the Permit does not include construction. The only change is the elimination of inorganic analytes sampling from the groundwater monitoring plan because they are not reliable indicators of a release from the facility. This will not result in the expansion of any existing or former use, The facility is not included in the Cortese list.
