Cleanup Status
This facility is one of EPA Region 3's high priority Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) corrective action sites. In April 2001, EPA determined that both the Human Exposures and Groundwater Environmental Indicators have been met. On August 19, 2003, SMR submitted to EPA and West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection (WVDEP) a Release Assessment Work Plan to gather additional information to determine if all of the Corrective Action requirements have been completed. EPA and WVDEP approved the Work Plan on September 2, 2003 and field sampling began shortly thereafter. On October 17, 2003, SMR submitted the Release Assessment Report. EPA and WVDEP reviewed the report and determined that it supports a "no further action." WVDEP solicited comments on this recommendation in a local newspaper on April 22, 2004. No comments were received during the 45-day public comment period. On August 4 2004 WVDEP transmitted the Final Decision to the facility stating that, at this time, there is "no further corrective action" needed at the SMR/BE Aerospace facility.
