When the site was first placed on the NPL the eight-acre Drake Chemical site Lock Haven, Clinton County, Pennsylvania, operated as a chemical plant from the 1960s to 1981, manufacturing chemical ingredients for pesticides and other compounds. Six major buildings, including former offices, production facilities, and a wastewater treatment building were located there. There were approximately 60 process tanks and reactors inside and surrounding the process buildings. Outside the buildings were approximately 10 large tanks that were used for bulk storage of acids, bases, and fuel oils. Also located on-site were two lined wastewater treatment lagoons, and two unlined lagoons. Chemical sludge and contaminated soils had been filled in all of the open area on the site. The site is adjacent to the American Color and Chemical Company. An apartment complex, a shopping center, and Castanea Township Park are located within a 1/4-mile of the site. There are approximately 10,300 people living within a mile of the site. Bald Eagle Creek is located less than a ½-mile south of the site, and the West Branch of the Susquehanna River is located approximately 3/4-mile north of the site.
