Twin Cities Warehousing and Distribution

Sand Creek Corridor Site (Sand Creek)

Sand Creek is located in an industrial area that contains petroleum and chemical production and distribution facilities, trucking firms, warehouses, and residences. The site contains contaminated soil, sediment, groundwater, surface water, and buildings. The site audit addressed operations at three of the site's operable units which contain contaminated groundwater and soil contaminated with volatile organics, pesticides, herbicides, and metals. Remediation activities included vacuum extraction of volatile organics, excavation and containerization of soils, dismantling and demolition of buildings and structures, and drilling in support of groundwater monitoring efforts.

Twin City Army Ammunition Plant (Twin City)

Twin City is the 10-acre site of a former U.S. Army ammunition production facility. Attempted destruction of off-spec or damaged ammunition contaminated the soil with lead and other heavy metals including antimony, cadmium, chromium, copper, mercury, and nickel. Soil decontamination involved a new soil-washing and lead-leaching technique designed to generate no waste streams.

Vertac

Vertac is divided into two parcels: Parcel 1 contained abandoned herbicide production facilities and equipment and current groundwater treatment facilities; Parcel 2 contained an incinerator and staging areas for drummed waste. The incineration operation involved thermal destruction of about 28,000 drums of waste 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T and 2,4,5-T still bottoms. Known contaminants included toluene, chlorobenzenes, chlorinated phenols, acids, dioxin, and the pesticides 2,4-D, and 2,4,5-T.

Wasatch Chemical (Wasatch)

Wasatch is an 18-acre site that formerly hosted operations for warehousing, producing, and packaging industrial chemical products, including pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers, and other industrial chemicals and cleaners. The site includes accumulated debris, as well as sludge and soil that are contaminated with semivolatile organics, volatile organics, metals, and various pesticides and herbicides. Remediation activities included the consolidation of contaminated site debris, sludge, soil, and dioxin wastes into the former evaporation pond located on the site; destruction of the organic chemicals in these materials using in situ vitrification; excavation and land framing of toluene- and xylene-contaminated soils; installation of a groundwater extraction and treatment system; and, as necessary, construction of a groundwater containment system and treatment facility. At the time of the audit, remedial action was nearly complete.
