W 19TH ST

The Fike Chemical Site, located in Nitro, West Virginia, consists of two parcels; an 11-acre parcel which was a small volume batch operation that specialized in custom chemical processing, and a one-acre parcel containing the former CST plant which treated storm water and wastewater generated at the Fike Chemical plant. The owner of the Site disposed of hazardous materials by burying them in the ground or placing them in one of the three on-site lagoons. The plant was purchased by Artel Chemical in 1986, and was subsequently abandoned in 1988. An estimated 1,500 to 2,500 people reside within a one-mile radius of the site.
