Background

• The DuPont Front Royal facility is located at 7961 Winchester Road, Front Royal, Warren County, Virginia. The site is located in a rural agricultural/residential and light commercial area. DuPont Front Royal is a relatively new facility as construction was completed in 1981. Prior to construction the property had been utilized for agricultural purposes. The facility currently employs approximately 400 individuals and operates a 24 hour per day 7 day per week batch process to manufacture solvent and water based industrial finishes, maintenance and automotive finishes, and resin polymer finishes. These products are manufactured, packaged and warehoused onsite prior to shipment. The facility layout includes an office area, two story manufacturing area, and a packaging/warehouse location
• In 1996, the RCRA Part B Permit the facility had maintained was not renewed as a result of "clean closure" of the previously permitted HWMUs. All previously permitted HWMUs, which have been "clean closed" are currently operated as less than 90-day hazardous waste accumulation areas in accordance with the RCRA Regulations under 40 CFR § 262.34 – Accumulation time.
