HWY 91

The Lindsay Manufacturing Company generated sulfuric acid waste from a galvanizing process at its plant. The wastes were discharged into an unlined pond for 10 years. Use of the pond ceased in 1983, when three monitoring wells showed contamination. In addition, chlorinated solvents associated with metal parts cleaning and degreasing were discharged to the ground at the Lindsay property, releasing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to the environment which subsequently migrated into the ground water beneath the facility. The site is surrounded by agricultural land. Ground water is used for agricultural purposes, and as a drinking water supply for nearby residents. Approximately 3,000 people live within a 3-mile radius of the site, with the nearest residence located 300 feet away. Site Responsibility: This site is being addressed through Federal, State, and potentially responsible parties' actions.
