Cleanup Status
Note: The EPA is the lead agency for managing cleanups at this facility.
On September 12, 2007. EPA determined that contamination in groundwater and human exposures risk from contaminants were under control.
EPA prepared a Statement of Basis that was published for public notice for 30 days beginning on November 13, 2007 and ending on December 13, 2007. The Statement of Basis proposed a determination of Corrective Action Complete Without Controls. Guidance recommends that EPA make this determination when the objectives have been met and the areas subject to the determination do not require any additional action or measures to ensure the remedy remains protective of human health and the environment. However, after internal discussion, it was discussed that the decision should actually be Corrective Action Complete With Controls due to EPA's reliance on Institutional Controls not specific to the facility, but city ordinances and common law property transfer requirements to ensure the remedy remains protective of human health and the environment. This is due to an identified area-wide trichloroethylene (TCE) plume which is thought to be attributed to an old dump site, and supplementary reports from the file reviews assured EPA that the plume is not related to this facility. There is no facility-related contaminated groundwater. EPA has verified there is a governmental control restricting the use of groundwater for human consumption governed by the Code of the Borough of Carlisle § 251-8 [Mandatory connection and application].
EPA finalized the Final Decision and Response to Comments (FDRTC), taking into consideration the discussion above, on January 15, 2008. The FDRTC is available, as part of the Administrative Record, to the public on the Documents, Reports, Photographs webpage for this site.
On July 31, 2018 , the EPA conducted a Long Term Stewardship assessment to assess whether the remedy was implemented and protective of human health and the environment.
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.

Carlisle SynTec, Inc. consists of approximately 90 acres located on Ritner Highway in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. Carlisle SynTec Systems (CSS) and its sister company Carlisle Tire & Rubber (CT&R) have used the site for manufacturing and warehousing rubber products since 1969. Plant No. 4, the CSS Rubber Manufacturing Facility, produces rolls of rubber roofing membranes by mixing raw production materials to form synthetic rubber. Plant No. 6, the CSS Adhesives Facility, was built in 1983 to manufacture solvent based adhesives for rubber roofing applications.
Contaminants at this Facility
The facility was used for manufacturing and warehousing rubber products, there is no facility-related contaminated groundwater.
Institutional and Engineering Controls at this Facility
Institutional Controls are for restrictions on groundwater.
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.
