| | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | 1992 October | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | In March 1992, the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) collected samples in DePue including samples of soil, sediment, and surface water. The information from these samples will be used in making a preliminary evaluation of possible environmental effects of past New Jersey Zinc and Mobil Mining and Minerals operations. Twenty soil samples were collected from residential yards. Three sediment and three surface water samples were collected from Lake DePue and the ditch leading to the lake. Samples were taken as background from Turner Lake and Tiskilwa for comparison. Ten samples were collected from the New Jersey Zinc and Mobil Mining and Minerals site. | | | | Date Created: | 05 24 2012 | | | | Agency ID: | Fact Sheet #1 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000042423 Original UID: 21948 FIRST WORD: New | |
| | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | 1995 September | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | Many of the plant operations took place before most environmental regulations (see chart), so a potential existed for releases to air, water, and land. Preliminary Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Illinois EPA) sampling, conducted in 1992 and 1993, indicated the presence of metals in onsite and offsite soil (including residential yards), surface water, and sediments. These metals include arsenic, barium, cadmium, cobalt, copper, lead, manganese, mercury, silver, sodium, and zinc. These metals occur naturally in the environment, but the samples from the facility indicate elevated levels when compared to samples collected from a nearby community.

| | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | 2002 September | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Illinois EPA) and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S.EPA) are proposing a remedy for the unnatural sediments in the South Ditch at the DePue-New Jersey Zinc/Mobil Chemical Site in DePue, Illinois. This proposed remedy would remove the unnatural sediment by a combination of hydraulic and mechanical dredging, stabilizing the removed sediments and containing them in an on-site unit until a final remedy is selected for the much larger quantities of similar material on and around the plant site. | | | | Date Created: | 05 24 2012 | | | | Agency ID: | Fact Sheet #7 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000042429 Original UID: 21954 FIRST WORD: New | |
| | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | 1997 February | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | This fact sheet describes the interim water treatment system that the DePue Group ( Horsehead Resources Development Co., Inc., Mobil Oil Corporation, and Viacom International Inc.,) is constructing to reduce the levels of metals in groundwater (water beneath ground surface) and surface water discharging into DePue Lake. These metals have accumulated in the soil of the former New Jersey Zinc/Mobil Chemical site from years of zinc smelting and other industrial processes. The metals are either leached (dissolved) or washed into the water on particles of metal-bearing soil. Occasionally, some of this water has flowed over the Marquette Street sidewalk. The larger diagram referenced in this fact sheet will be included as a separate pdf attachment. | | | | Date Created: | 05 24 2012 | | | | Agency ID: | Fact Sheet #4 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000042426 Original UID: 21951 FIRST WORD: New | |
| | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | 1999 Septiembre (September) | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | Debido a que las las industrias del sitio han estado operando desde principios de 1900, no se comprenden en su totalidad las posibles fuentes de contaminacin. Por ejemplo, puede haber reas de antiguos derrames o desechos de las cuales no estamos al tanto. Tampoco comprendemos totalmente cmo y dnde se han movido estas sustancias qumicas en el aire, las aguas someras, y las aguas subterrneas, y los suelos. Es necesario dar al estudio una aproximacin en fases de manera que los resultados de muestras de la Fase 1 puedan guiar a la ubicacin de las muestras de la Fase 2, etc. Este enfoque en fases se continuar hasta comprender al mximo el grado de la contaminacin. | | | | Date Created: | 05 31 2012 | | | | Agency ID: | | | | | ISL ID: | 000000042681 Original UID: 22212 FIRST WORD: New | |
| | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | 1999 September | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | Because industries at the site have been in operation since the early 1900s, the sources of possible contamination are not fully understood. For example, there may be areas of old spills or disposal with which we are unfamiliar. We also do not fully understand how and where these chemicals have moved through the air, surface water, groundwater, and soil. A phased approach is necessary so that sample results from Phase 1 can govern the location of Phase 2 samples, etc. This phased approach will be continued until the full extent of contamination is understood.

Initial plans for investigation and cleanup of the site were organized by unit, e.g., plant site soils, Interim Water Treatment Plant, Phosphogypsum Stack, Zinc Slag Pile, Lithipone Ridges and South Ditch. As the cleanup plans for the South Ditch progressed, this organization was found to be inappropriate for the complex site and the site was divided into five operable units (OUs) for investigation and remediation. The printable map, records of decision, site schedule, and legislative updates referenced in the fact sheet will be included as separate pdf attachments. The numbered fact sheets and responsiveness summary will be cataloged separately. | | | | Date Created: | 05 24 2012 | | | | Agency ID: | | | | | ISL ID: | 000000042415 Original UID: 21947 FIRST WORD: New | |
