Cleanup Status
Note: The lead agency for managing cleanups at this facility is the West Virginia Department of Environment (DEP).
EPA has determined that no further corrective action or controls are necessary at this time for this Facility. EPA's decision was based on a site visit and a review of EPA and West Virginia files regarding the environmental history of the Facility as presented in the Final Environmental Indicator Inspection Report submitted on January 6, 2010. Based on this review, EPA has concluded that there are no current or unaddressed releases of hazardous waste or hazardous constituents from the Facility.
A Statement of Basis (SOB) seeking public comment on EPA's decision was noticed on July 9, 2010. The EPA issued its Final Decision regarding the Facility on August 13, 2010, stating that Corrective Action was Complete without Controls.
Cleanup Actions or environmental indicators characterizing the entire facility are shown below. It is not intended as an extensive list of milestones/activities.

Facility Description
Link to a larger, interactive view of the map.
The Facility is located at 2933 Sissonville Drive, Charleston, Kanawha County, West Virginia. The Facility, which covers 3.75 acres, is an irregularly shaped parcel of land that is bordered to the north, east, and south by sparse residential development; light industrial and commercial usage is present to the north and east; and heavily wooded area to the west
The Sissonville property was originally developed in 1965 by beer distributor Seaton Distributing Company. Over time the property changed owners and uses including a BFI industrial cleaning operation that provided chemical and high-pressure water cleaning of industrial process equipment; blending and marketing of specialty detergents, solvents, and additives; collection and transportation of bulk and drummed liquid and solid waste; and segregation and storage of such wastes prior to shipment to permitted disposal facilities
Around 1988, the Facility was acquired by Pittman Snax Sales. Pittman, the current owner, operates a vending machine servicing and supplying business. No hazardous waste is currently generated or stored at the facility.
As a result of the various operators and site usage, a number of different structures have existed at the Facility. Originally, there was a large building along Sissonville Road that was used as an office, maintenance shop, and warehouse. Immediately south of this building was a separate equipment storage building and a shed was also noted to be present on the southern portion of the site, located up the hill and away from Sissonville Road. The site currently consists of one large building that is used by Pittman Snax as an office, maintenance shop, and production area. An abandoned waste disposal container is also located on the property
During the cleaning process, the Facility utilized acids, alkalines, and solvents to clean tanks and equipment. The majority of the Facility's cleaning operations were conducted at client facilities with only a small percentage (1%) conducted at the subject facility. In the process, BFI reportedly generated 121 different waste streams that were either transported directly to disposal facilities or returned to the subject site for temporary storage.
Contaminants at this Facility
Six groundwater monitoring wells are located throughout the site. Sporadic detections of benzene, chloroform, lead, benzo(a)pyrene, and bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate have been found in these wells above appropriate screening numbers.
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.
