valmont tce site (former - valmont industrial park)

DEER RUN ROAD

The site is located in Valmont Industrial Park on Jaycee Drive near Deer Run Road in Hazle Township and West Hazleton Borough. The site also includes an area of groundwater contamination which extends from the facility to the northeast in the area of Twin Oaks Road, Bent Pine Road, and Deer Run Road. Initially, in 1963, Valmont TCE was developed by CAN DO, Inc., but ownership has changed hands several times since then. Valmont TCE was once the former property of Chromatex. From 1978until March 2001 the plant was used for upholstery fabric manufacturing. Currently the building is used for storage of nonhazardous materials. The groundwater is contaminated with trichloroethylene (TCE) resulting from a spill. The nearby residential wells are also contaminated, but those homes have been hooked up to the public water supply.
