Description
Excerpt: Site Description The Dayco Corp./L.E. Carpenter Company Site covers 14 ®-acres, and includes buildings, warehouses, and remnants of disposal areas that are associated with a former vinyl wall covering manufacturing facility in Wharton Township. During original plant operations, various solid and liquid wastes were disposed of in unlined on-site lagoons, located approximately 20 feet from the Rockaway River. Manufacturing no longer occurs at the Site, and the several buildings are no longer used as warehouses and offices. The Site is located in the flood plain of the Rockaway River and is above an aquifer that provides potable water for both Wharton and Dover Townships. The Site borders both residential and industrial areas, and approximately 27,000 people live within a 3-mile radius. The nearest residence is 150 feet north of the Site, and two of Wharton Township's public supply wells are approximately 2,600 feet from the Site.
