| 2511: | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | 2001 February | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | Illinois EPA investigations show that the main source of contamination in Area 4 appears to have been underground storage tanks located beneath the parking lot south of the building formerly occupied by Swebco. The primary contaminant is the industrial solvent 1,1,1-trichloroethane (TCA). TCA is in a class of chemicals called volatile organic compounds (VOCs). They are called volatile because they readily evaporate. They are called organic because they contain carbon. | | | | Date Created: | 05 25 2012 | | | | Agency ID: | | | | | ISL ID: | 000000042519 Original UID: 22027 FIRST WORD: Southeast | |

Early aerial photographs of Area 7 show evidence of waste disposal and excavation from 1959 through 1970. The area, located north of Balsam Lane in Rockford, now contains a field, wooded areas and Ekberg Park. The depth of contamination varies from four feet below ground surface to at least 29 feet. Illinois EPA estimates that there are approximately 265,000 cubic yards of highly contaminated soil beneath the ground surface. Illinois EPA soil borings show sands, silts and clay to bedrock. Bedrock varies between 35 and 135 feet below ground surface. The water table varies from 36 feet below ground surface south of the park, to 13 feet in the park and 2 feet near the creek. The groundwater flows to the northwest. | | | | Date Created: | 05 25 2012 | | | | Agency ID: | | | | | ISL ID: | 000000042520 Original UID: 22028 FIRST WORD: Southeast | |

| 2514: | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | 2001 February | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | Area 11 is an old industrial area dating back to at least 1906. Past industries include Rockford Varnish, Rockford Coatings Corporation and Rockwell International Graphics. Some of these industries have documented use of chlorinated solvents, the main chemicals of concern for the project area. Past surface spills appear to have been the primary sources of Area 11 surface and subsurface soil as well as groundwater contamination. Chlorinated industrial solvents found in the remainder of the Southeast Rockford Project were detected in some Area 11 samples at low concentrations. Non-chlorinated solvents, often associated with petroleum products, however, were found in such high concentrations in Area 11 that the detection limit of the analytical equipment had to be raised considerably. There may have been relatively high concentrations of chlorinated solvents in Area 11 samples, but they may not have been detected because of the high detection limit of the analytical equipment. | | | | Date Created: | 05 25 2012 | | | | Agency ID: | | | | | ISL ID: | 000000042522 Original UID: 22031 FIRST WORD: Southeast | |

"Volatile" means that they are readily converted to gas (vapor). "Organic" means they contain carbon.
