Abstract	David Witherspoon Incorporated (DWI) operated three industrial sites in South Knoxville, Tennessee that accepted scrap metal and materials from facilities of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and its predecessor agencies. All three of these sites are listed on the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) Superfund list due to radiological and chemical contamination. These sites are located at 901 Maryville Pike, also known as the Candora Site, the 1630 Maryville Pike Site, and the David Witherspoon Landfill that consists of 40 acres and is located to the rear of the 1630 Site. Cleanup at the DWI 901 Site was completed in 2006 and shortly thereafter, work began at the DWI 1630 Site (BJC 2006). The DWI 1630 Site operated as an industrial landfill and metal recycling business permitted by the Tennessee Division of Radiological Health to accept low-level radiologically contaminated metal from many DOE Sites, including those in Oak Ridge, Tennessee; Paducah, Kentucky; and Portsmouth, Ohio. The site operated from the 1950s until its closure in 1974. The DWI 1630 Site is situated in an urban setting in the Vestal Community between the Kingsley Station and Mt. Olive communities in Knox County, Tennessee, just outside the city limits of Knoxville, approximately three miles south of downtown Knoxville. The purpose of independent verification activities was to confirm that remedial actions have been effective in meeting established and site-specific guidelines and that the documentation prepared by the contractor accurately and adequately describes the radiological conditions at the site. DOE has established a policy to perform independent (third party) verification surveys of remedial action activities at DOE Sites (DOE 2006). The Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE) was designated as the organization responsible for verifying the final status of the cleanup activities associated with the DWI 1630 Site.
