Cleanup Status
Note: The Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (VDEQ) is the lead agency for managing cleanups at this facility.
The Facility Lead Agreement (FLA) program was developed by EPA to address Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) corrective action facilities and encourage such facilities to take the lead in addressing corrective action using a generic, non-enforceable, agreement which includes the same requirements, and relies on the same scope of work and policy as a permit or an order. EPA and EPA's contractors conducted a Facility information gathering site visit on September 12, 2007. In January 2010, under EPA direction, the Facility conducted an investigation to assess groundwater quality in the vicinity of the former Wastewater Treatment (IWT) Tank #1, which has been identified as Solid Waste Management Unit (SWMU) No. 7, and the former wastewater drain field at SWMU No. 18. No contamination was found.
On July 15, 2010, EPA proposed a determination of "Corrective Action Complete without Controls" based on EPA's findings which are detailed in the Statement of Basis. Consistent with public participation provisions under RCRA, EPA requested comments from the public on the proposed remedy as described in the Statement of Basis. The commencement of a thirty (30) day public comment period was announced in the Daily Progress newspaper on July 15, 2010 and on the EPA Region III website. The public comment period ended on August 13, 2010. EPA received no comments on the proposal. Consequently, the Final Decision – Corrective Action Complete without Controls was issued by EPA on August 23, 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.
GE Intelligent Platforms (formerly GE Fanuc Automation) is headquartered in Charlottesville, Virginia and is an industrial control manufacturer. The plant consists of three units: Embedded Systems, Software and Services and Control Systems. The Facility is located on 74-acres and manufactures printed circuit boards and uses a number of chemicals that become listed hazardous wastes in the waste stream. Twenty-four (24) SWMUs and two (2) Areas of Concern (AOC) have been identified at the Facility. EPA has determined that all of the SWMUs and AOC have been removed and/or closed (under Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) oversight) and pose no environmental concerns to human health or the environment.
Contaminants at this Facility
SVOCs were not detected in any of the groundwater samples. Based on the findings of the Work Plan, EPA has concluded that the soil and groundwater quality does not pose any potential for harm to human health or the environment and no further action or controls are needed at the Facility.
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.
