Manufacturing - Chemicals, Materials

Swannanoa, NC

From the Fourth FYR...
       " The 535-acre Superfund Site is located in a semi-rural area about eight miles east of Asheville, in the Town of Swannanoa in Buncombe County, North Carolina (Figure E-1). The Site is divided into two distinct geographical areas known as the Front Valley (FV) and Back Valley (BV) (Figure 1). A prominent ridge separates the FV and the BV. Different companies manufactured explosives, incapacitating agents and chemical intermediates at the Site between 1952 and 1994. During facility operations, manufacturing occurred primarily in the FV. Material testing and waste disposal occurred primarily in the BV. Manufacturing, testing and waste disposal occurred on about 200 acres of the 535- acre Site. This included 23 individual disposal areas which were grouped into six discrete waste disposal areas (DAs). These areas are designated as DA-10/1 1 and DA-23 (located in the FV) and DA-6, DA-7/8, DA-9 and the Acid Pit Area (APA) (located in the BV).

Together, these DAs occupy less than 10 acres of the Site. Solid waste material and possibly solvents were reportedly incinerated in the APA. Chemical waste and spent acid were also disposed in trenches in the APA. Chemical wastes fi*om the manufacturing of ortho-chlorobenzylidene malononitrile (CS) and agent 3-quinuclidinyl benzilate (BZ) were placed in metal 5 5-gallon drums and reportedly neutralized with a kill solution. These drums were buried in DA-6, DA-7/8, DA-9, and DA-10/11 along with other process wastes and solid wastes. DA-23 is a former wastewater treatment biolagoon associated with Building 113 (B113). This biolagoon was built on top of an abandoned leach field also associated with B113. The leach field was in use during the years CS and BZ were generated. B1 13 was the building where the majority of production/ manufacturing occurred.
      The Site is not currently in use and the owner of the property, Chemtronics, Inc., has no current plans for reuse, other than potential, sustainable forestry practices. Most of the Site is heavily wooded. Current site features include concrete former building pads, ponds, fenced and capped disposal areas, remedial components, a security guard hut and a maintenance shed (Figures 1 and 2). The Site’s 2016 Record of Decision (ROD) Amendment split the originally established site into the Chemtronics Superfund site and the Chemtronics property (Figures 1 and E-1). The Chemtronics Superfund site is located within the larger Chemtronics property. The Chemtronics property outside of the Chemtronics Superfimd site is not considered part of the Superfund site. There are plans underway to establish a conservation easement on those portions of the Chemtronics property outside of the Chemtronics Superfund site in the future. Once established, the conservation easement area will be used for sustainable forestry and conservation practices. The site property is bordered to the north, northeast, and northwest by sparsely populated woodlands, primarily national forests or State game lands. Unincorporated residential neighborhoods are located immediately east, west, and south of the Site and include the Bee Tree Road community, Dillingham Circle, and the Old Bee Tree/Rainbow Ridge community, respectively. An industrial facility (the former RadioShack Swannanoa property), located immediately south of the Site, has recently been returned to active use and was being investigated/remediated imder the North Carolina Registered Environmental Consultant Program.

Provided a healthy fear, the inevitable concern of the passing stranger cannot be surmounted by the complex vein of an untold gripe. The longing will gnaw at the unfettered layman, stripping the outer layer until the starch is revealed. Hear not what the lonesome stranger boasts in long stride
