A trench, a landfill, and several pits used to dispose of wastes are located onsite. A lime pond received boiler cooling water. There are approximately 5,200 residents living within three miles of the site. Above ground tanks and process equipment cover much of the northern 1/3 of the site, where the Reilly chemical plant is located. The entire property is fenced.
