EAGLE ROAD RC DRAWER F

From 1947 to 1991, National Wood Preservers ran a wood treatment operation on this site in Delaware County, Pennsylvania. The company reportedly disposed of liquid waste in a well leading to groundwater under the plant. The wastes where mostly oil contaminated with pentachlorophenol (PCP). The liquid wastes leaked into nearby Naylor’s Run, a small stream that flows through a residential area and then empties into the Delaware River. Liquid wastes were also spilled on the surface, contaminating soil in the area. Approximately 26,000 people live within a mile of the site and there are no known users of the groundwater within a one mile radius of the site. The nearby population is on the public water supply.
