nutting truck & caster co.

1201 WEST DIVISION STREET

The Nutting Truck and Caster Site consists of an 8.6-acre property located at 1221 Division Street in the city of Faribault, Rice County, Minnesota, along with contaminated groundwater beneath the site. The property is bounded on the west by Prairie Avenue and on the southeast by railroad tracks. The property is currently owned by Praire Avenue Leasing Ltd. and is leased for commercial and light industrial purposes. The area surrounding the Site includes properties with residential, commercial, and light industrial uses. All nearby properties are connected to the Faribault municipal drinking water supply. Between 1891 and 1984, the property was used for manufacturing and distribution of casters, wheels, hand trucks, and towline trucks. From 1959 to 1979, a seepage pit in the west central area of the site was used to deposit waste and sludges, including waste solvents. In response to a 1979 Notice of Noncompliance by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA), the seepage pit was excavated to meet residential soil standards, backfilled with clean fill and covered with concrete. Groundwater contamination was also found to be associated with the property. Site Responsibility The Site is part of an Enforcement Deferral Pilot Project agreement between EPA and MPCA, with MPCA serving as the lead agency at the site.
