Background
The Peters Cartridge site is a partially abandoned manufacturing facility located at 1415 Grandin Road, Kings Mills, Ohio. The site is made up of two areas. Area A is about 15 acres located along the south valley wall of the Little Miami River. Area B is 56 acres of wooded land on the borders of Area A. Buildings at the site were constructed in 1916 as a munitions manufacturing facility. The site is presently occupied by several small businesses. Contaminated soil and ground water (underground water supplies) were found in Area A.
The DuPont Co. purchased the Peters Cartridge property from the Remington Arms Co. EPA considers DuPont to be legally responsible for the pollution investigations and cleanup activities at the site. DuPont submitted an in-depth study to determine the nature and extent of contamination and propose cleanup alternatives. This study is known as a "remedial investigation/feasibility study" or RI/FS and is currently under review.
