peck iron and metal

3850 ELM AVENUE

From 1945 to 1999, Peck Iron and Metal purchased, processed, stored, and shipped metal scrap from various military bases; other Federal, state, and local government agencies; and local businesses. Scrap metal handled at the facility included damaged and obsolete equipment, attachments, parts, and other miscellaneous materials, including scrapped naval vessels. Some of these scrap materials contained cadmium (automobile parts), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) (insulated wire, gaskets, fluorescent lights and transformer oils) and lead (scrapped bridge sections and automobile batteries). PCB-containing transformers were disassembled at the facility and the wires were burned to remove insulation. The Site was proposed to the NPL on April 9, 2009, and was finalized on the NPL on November 4, 2009.
