Interstate Lead Company - Leeds, Alabama - Super Fund Sites on Waymarking.com

ILCO has generated, treated, stored, and disposed of lead-bearing waste on-site, as well as off-site in numerous locations in the Leeds area.

Monitoring by the company in January and February of 1985 detected lead and cadmium in ground water underlying the facility. The State has measured elevated levels of lead in Dry Creek and an unnamed tributary to Dry Creek adjacent to the facility. The Jefferson County Department of Health in 1983 and 1984 measured elevated lead concentrations in ambient air south and southwest of ILCO.

On March 18, 1985, EPA and the State filed a civil enforcement action against ILCO under the Clean Water Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), and CERCLA. In June 1985, EPA signed a Partial Consent Decree with ILCO to provide preliminary measures to reduce the hazards associated with the facility while the litigation was pending. ILCO has agreed to temporarily stabilize two of the contaminated areas (the plant property and the plant parking lot) and to prevent further off-site migration at these areas. The Partial Consent Decree also requires ILCO to construct a totally enclosed system to treat storm water. In addition, in June 1985, EPA signed a separate Partial Consent Decree with a local transporter to stabilize the Fleming's Patio area.

ILCO is currently in voluntary reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Federal bankruptcy code.
