Abstract The 11.9-acre Fike Chemical site is an abandoned chemical manufacturing facility in Nitro, West Virginia. The site is comprised of an 11-acre chemical plant and a 0.9-acre Cooperative Sewage Treatment plant (CST). Onsite features include several chemical production areas, process control equipment, various onsite structures, drum and waste burial areas, over 400 storage tanks, and 3 inactive waste lagoons. From 1951 to 1988, Fike Chemical manufactured more than sixty different chemicals. In 1983, EPA identified onsite dioxin-contaminated soil. In addition, asbestos was found in several onsite structures. A 1988 Record of Decision (ROD) addressed the disposal of bulk chemicals stored in onsite tanks and drums. In 1990, a Focused Feasibility Study (FFS) for the tanks, equipment, and structures was completed. The ROD addresses the contaminated tanks, equipment, and structures evaluated in the 1990 FFS report.
