                               NEAL'S LANDFILL


Neal's Landfill, an 18 acre landfill located in the southwestern portion of
Monroe County on Highway 48, was used as an industrial and municipal waste
landfill from 1950 to 1972. Westinghouse PCB-filled capacitors, transformers, 
and insulation material were deposited in Neal's Landfill during 1966 to 
1967. Soil sampling results indicate PCB concentrations to 219,000 parts per 
million. PCBs were also found in ground and surface water at up to 9.7 parts 
per billion (ppb).  The site was placed on the National Priorities List in 
September, 1983.

Westinghouse performed remedial measures in December, 1983 which included:
       
       Removing surface capacitors.
       
       Fencing the site perimeter.

       Installing a clay cap and in-situ erosion control measures.

       Conducting area well-user surveys and residential or monitoring well 
       sampling.

Westinghouse constructed and began operation of a Spring Treatment System at
Neal's Landfill. This was intended to treat PCB-contaminated water discharging
from three on-site springs and one seep to Conard's Branch of Richland Creek.
Westinghouse received a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System 
(NPDES) permit for the Spring Treatment System on July 1, 1988. They began 
submitting bi-monthly monitoring reports to the state and EPA showing the 
system's PCB effluent concentrations. The NPDES permit limits PCB discharges 
to 1 ppb. Westinghouse is currently in compliance with the limitations, and 
treats PCB contaminated spring water to levels at or below 0.2 ppb. 320,000 
cubic yards of material containing PCBs await final disposition at Neal's 
Landfill.
