strother field industrial park

NE 1/4 SEC 19 T33S R4E

Strother Field Industrial Park is located near Winfield and Arkansas City and covers approximately 2 square miles. Until 1946, the site was a military facility. The site now consists of about 20 industrial and commercial businesses, as well as two inactive solid waste landfills. The landfills were used for the disposal of various industrial wastes. Groundwater is contaminated with volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Until 1983, the Strother Field Commission operated a water supply system, consisting of eight wells on the site. The contaminated groundwater no longer is used for drinking, but still is used for industrial processes. Drinking water was provided by trucks until the Commission installed two wells upgradient of the contaminant plume, providing a safe supply of drinking water. Approximately 2,300 people live within a 3-mile radius of the site. The size of the worker population on the site is approximately 2,000. There are private and public wells located in the vicinity of the site; some private wells are in the industrial park.
