Public Health Assessment for Chemet Company, Moscow, Fayette County, Tennessee, Region 4. CERCLIS No. TND987768546
The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) released two Health Consultations (HC) and a Site Review and Update (SRU) for the Chemet Company site. The Chemet Company site is an inactive 5-acre facility that processed antimony oxide for use as a fire retardant from 1980 until 1989. Antimony oxidation furnaces were used to remove heavy metals such as lead, zinc, and arsenic to reduce and oxidize the antimony ore. Processing wastes were deposited in on-site buildings, drums and piles. In response to citizen complaints, soil samples were collected from the drums, piles, and soil from the on-site piles in 1989. Sapling results identified lead, arsenic, and antimony at concentration that exceeded regulatory limits. In 1989, the site was placed on the Tennessee Inactive Hazardous Waste Site list. In 1990, facility operators were ordered to clean up the site and dispose of the wastes. The facility implemented two soil removal actions in three years; however, the contaminant levels still exceeded state and federal standards. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed the site for inclusion to the National Priorities List (NPL) on January 18, 1994. The site was added to the NPL in May, 1994.
