Cleanup Status
In April 2004, EPA Region 3 and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (“PADEP”) entered into a One Cleanup Program Memorandum of Agreement (“MOA” or “Agreement”) to, among other things, facilitate PADEP’s implementation of Pennsylvania’s Voluntary Cleanup Program (“VCP”) under the authority of Act 2 and to promote the One Cleanup Program initiative by working together in a coordinated manner to avoid duplication of effort at properties subject to Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and to ensure the remediation of such properties in a timely fashion.
The remedial work was documented in Final Reports submitted on behalf of Boeing, dated July 13, 1998 (Center North Area Site), February 20, 2001 (73.5 Acre Site), April 14, 2003 (Center South Area Site), and November 10, 2004 (Old Landfill and Former Lagoon Area Site). These reports were submitted to PADEP for approval pursuant to Act 2. PADEP approved the Final Reports by letters dated October 9, 1998, March 12, 2001, July 22, 2003, and February 10, 2005, respectively.
In January 2006, EPA issued a statement of basis that proposed corrective actions complete with controls.
On November 29, 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.

Facility Description
Link to a larger, interactive view of the map.
The main plant of the facility is located adjacent to Interstate 95 and Route 291 in Ridley Township, Delaware County, Pennsylvania. The location of the facility is shown in Attachment 1. The facility is bisected by Route 291, with approximately 240 acres located north of Route 291 and approximately 107 acres located south of Route 291. Crum Creek, Darby Creek, and the Delaware River are the major surface waters near the facility. Crum Creek and Darby Creek are receiving waters for the facility's National Pollution Discharge Elimination System ("NPDES") permitted outfalls. They are tributaries to the Delaware River, which borders the facility on the south. Local industrial groundwater users have been identified and are listed in the facility's Preparedness, Prevention, and Contingency Plan (1993). According to recent investigation reports, no private or public groundwater supplies or surface water intakes are known to exist in the vicinity of the facility.
Contaminants at this Facility
Contaminants of concern are benzo(a)pyrene, dibenzo(a,h)anthracene, arsenic, lead, TCE, naphthalene, benzo(b)fluoranthene, benzene, mercury, and chrysene.
Institutional and Engineering Controls at this Facility
Institutional Controls are restrictions on groundwater use and the restrictions on the use of the property to non-residential use, and the maintenance of caps over contaminated areas. The controls are enforced via an environmental covenant.
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.
