| 611: | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | 2011 October | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | The DePue/New Jersey Zinc/Mobil Chemical Corporation site is located along the north side of the Village of DePue and constitutes roughly one half of the village land mass. 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 | |
| 612: | | 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 | |
| 613: | | 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.

| 615: | | 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.

| 617: | | 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.

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 | |

The results of historical soil sampling by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Illinois EPA) and Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) indicate that elevated levels of metals have been detected in residential and non-residential soils around the DePue site. In 1995, the State of Illinois and the potentially responsible parties (PRPs)1 entered into an Interim Consent Order (ICO) to conduct Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (RI/FS) activities, including investigation and remediation of off-site soils surrounding the Former Plant Site Area. Given the existing data, additional investigations will be conducted in the Village by the PRPs. | | | | Date Created: | 05 24 2012 | | | | Agency ID: | Fact Sheet #11 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000042434 Original UID: 21959 FIRST WORD: New | |
