The Wasatch Chemical Co. site lies in an industrial area of Salt Lake City, Utah near the intersection of 700 West and 2100 South Street. Current boundaries comprise 18 acres, extending onto the adjacent Steelco property, the former Wasatch Chemical property and other adjacent property owners. This area sits within the center of the Jordan River Valley and is located over an aquifer that serves as a regional source of potable water. Groundwater occurs at a shallow depth (less than five feet) flowing north-northwest. From 1957 to 1971 Wasatch Chemical Co. used the site for warehousing, producing and packaging industrial chemical products. Throughout the 1970s and into 1992, operations included blending and packaging pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers, industrial chemicals and cleaners. The agricultural chemical business moved off-site in the late 1970s. Other uses included vehicle storage, warehousing and office space. The location currently houses a plumbing supply business. Releases of hazardous substances occurred over the years due to past disposal practices and spills contaminating soils and groundwater. The site was added to EPA's Superfund National Priorities List in 1991. The Record of Decision that documents the cleanup decision was also issued in 1991.
