Cleanup Status
Note: The Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (VDEQ) is the lead agency for managing cleanups at this facility.
In September 2020, the facility's Hazardous Waste Management Permit was modified to incorporate a final remedy detailed in a Statement of Basis dated November 2019 and developed by the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) and EPA. The final remedy required the facility to conduct In-Situ Chemical Oxidation (ISCO) application to treat groundwater, perform long term groundwater monitoring, and the maintenance of certain property mechanisms known as Institutional Controls (ICs) and Engineering Controls (ECs). The modified Permit became effective on September 2, 2020 and represents Remedy Selection determination in accordance with the RCRA Corrective Action process.
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.
In 1954 the facility, operating under the name Acme Visible Records (AVR), began manufacturing records storage and retrieval equipment. In 1984, AVR merged with Wilson Jones Company (WJC). AVR continued to manufacture office/record storage equipment until December 1988 when the building assets were sold by WJC to AVR, Inc. Subsequently, metal-handling operations ceased and production shifted to manufacturing of printed folders. The facility was operated by AVR, Inc. from 1989 until December 1992 when the property was purchased a second time by WJC. Manufacturing operations at the site ceased in approximately 2001.
The site is 62 acres in area and is bisected by an active railway with an easement. The entire property consists of seven parcels each identified with a unique parcel identification (ID) number. The northern portion of the site historically included several structures, which have been demolished incrementally over time.
Contaminants at this Facility
The primary contaminants of concern in groundwater include TCE and PCE and associated degradation by-products, petroleum related constituents, and 1,4-Dioxane.
Institutional and Engineering Controls at this Facility
Institutional Controls are Land use restrictions prohibiting residential use are required for parcel IDs 056A3-00-00-01200, 05600-00-00-08300, and 05600-00-00-09400. Excavation and disturbance of these identified areas is to be conducted per an approved Soil Management Plan. Additionally a site-wide groundwater use restriction is imposed, along with a requirement for vapor mitigation measures in occupied structures.
Engineering Controls consists of RCRA cap at the closed RCRA impoundment known as SWMU 6.
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.
