Private residences were located on these four parcels. The fifth parcel is a vacant lot situated on the south side of West Ryeland Road, where SCWC and ACC disposed of waste. A plant nursery is located north of the railroad tracks. An unnamed tributary to Tupelhocken Creek, and an associated wetland area impacted by the Site is located immediately north of the Site on the former Farr Nursery property. The historical Conrad Weiser Homestead is located adjacent to the plant nursery, but is unaffected by the Site. Site Responsibility Cleanup of this site is the responsibility of federal and state governments.
