ADJ. TO ROUTE 7
Tri-Cities Barrel, a 14.9-acre site in the Town of Fenton where, from 1955 to 1992, used drums were reconditioned. The drums were washed with a strong caustic agent as part of the reconditioning process. The wastewater from this process was then discharged into unlined lagoons and allowed to evaporate. In 1980, the company cleaned out and backfilled the lagoons and stored the wastewater in a holding tank before it was disposed of off-site. Osborne Creek crosses the northern part of the site. Local residents use surface water downstream of the site for recreation. Approximately 3,500 people obtain drinking water from wells within 3 miles of the site. Site Responsibility: This site is being addressed through federal and potentially responsible parties' actions.
