After removals of contaminated soils and several groundwater investigations at the former Trojan Yacht facility, the final remedy is complete and no further action is required.
The Facility received a release of liability from PADEP through Pennsylvania's Act 2 program on October 28, 2008. EPA's Final Decision of Corrective Action Complete without Controls for the facility became effective June 1, 2010.
Cleanup Actions or environmental indicators characterizing the entire facility are shown below. It is not intended as an extensive list of milestones/activities. This listing, and all the data on this page, come from EPA’s RCRAInfo and are refreshed nightly to this page. For this table and the Cleanup Activities Pertaining to a Portion of the Facility table that follows, a blank in the Status column could mean the action either has not occurred or has not been reported in RCRAInfo.

Facility Description
Link to a larger, interactive view of the map.
The entire area is zoned industrial and has been an industrialized area since the early 1960s. The Facility covers 26 acres. Land use in the surrounding area is mainly agricultural and industrial. In 1952, Shippen Realty Partners purchased the Site which was originally farmland. In 1955, Trojan Yacht leased the Site for wooden pleasure boat production. In 1967, Whittaker Corporation, located in Los Angeles, California took over the business. In 1983, Bertram Trojan Incorporated, a division of Bertrex Corporation based in Miami, Florida, bought the business. In 1988, Bertrex Corporation was purchased by the investment group of G.L. Ohrstrom Company. The construction of the boats began changing from wood to fiberglass in the late 1960's. By the 1980's, only fiberglass boats were produced. The manufacturing of yachts ceased in 1989. The fiberglass processes required the use of toluene, methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) peroxide, and acetone.
The site was leased to A.H. Hoffman, Inc. from 1995 to 2006. A.H. Hoffman manufactured and processed plant and garden fertilizer. In 2006, the Site was leased to Dean Landis Trucking for storage and maintenance of tractor trailers.
Contaminants at this Facility
The primary wastes generated by Kaiser included oil sludge from the cupping and hydraulic presses and wastes from the aluminum etching lines. These wastes were drummed and sent off-site for waste neutralization, sedimentation, and disposal. Bonderlube (lube oil) waste was discharged to the Erie city sewer system.
Institutional and Engineering Controls at this Facility
Institutional controls were not required at the site.
Institutional and Engineering Controls help ensure human exposure and groundwater migration are under control at a cleanup facility. Where control types have been reported by states and EPA in EPA’s RCRAInfo, they are shown below. Not all control types are needed at all facilities, and some facilities do not require any controls. Where there are blanks, the control types may not be needed, may not be in place, or may not be reported in RCRAInfo.
