shriver's corner

RD #6 ALONG RTE 394

The Shriver's Corner site has two areas covering about 10 acres located south of Route 394 (Shriver's Corner Road), in Straban Township, Adams County. Both areas have accepted drums of wastes from the Westinghouse Elevator Plant, a Superfund Site in Cumberland Township. Drums containing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) which are chemical components of solvents, liquid wastes, and paint sludge reportedly were dumped at the southern edge of the property. Approximately 5,000 people use wells within three miles of the site as a source of drinking water. Approximately 250 people live within a mile of the site; the nearest residence is 100 feet away, and the nearest well is 10 feet from the site. The groundwater is contaminated with VOCs including chlorinated solvents, toluene, and xylene from former waste disposal practices. Site Responsibility This site is the responsibility of federal and state governments, the site owner and parties potentially responsible for site contamination.
