DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT AND LOCATION <br /> The facility began operations as KPF Electric Company (KPF) in <br /> 1951, on 12. 6 acres at 1624 East Alpine Avenue in San Joaquin <br /> County just outside of Stockton, California. KPF manufactures <br /> high voltage switching devices for various utility companies <br /> throughout the United States and Canada. The facility's <br /> luded siver <br /> initial manufacturing process <br /> incprocess wasladded ptotthe <br /> ing <br /> operations. In 1972 a galvanizing p <br /> plant's Ieration. <br /> In June 1984, Kearney National Inc. acquired and assumed <br /> control of KPF and renamed the facility Kearney-KPF. Kearney <br /> National Inc. is headquartered in White Plains, New York, and <br /> Kearney is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. <br /> The project is the closure of four surface impoundments <br /> consisting of Pond 1 and Dry Well, Pond 2 , the Former Drummed <br /> Waste Storage Area, and Solvent Disposal area. The facility <br /> ceased disposing of wastes in these units in January 1986. <br /> The wastes stored at the facility were liquid wastes generated <br /> by the galvanizing and silver plating operations. Pond 1 and <br /> Dry Well received 15,000 gallons a year of spent Oakite (a <br /> mixture of sodium hydroxide and sodium carbonate) ; 17 , 000 <br /> gallons per year of spent muriatic acid; and 130, 000 gallons <br /> per year of rinse water. <br /> Pond 2 received 140 gallons per year of spent aquaregia (a <br /> mixture of nitric acid, hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid) , <br /> and 15,000 gallons per year of aquaregia rinse water and <br /> silver cyanide rinse water. <br /> Small amounts of solvent were disposed of adjacent to the <br /> southeast area of the northern section of Pond 2 , referred to <br /> as the Former Solvent Disposal Area. <br /> waste <br /> solvent were ht drums of wastaccumulat d land dstoredt storedin <br /> drums <br /> the ospent <br /> Former Drummed <br /> Waste Storage Area, and area adjacent to the sidewalk near the <br /> southeast side of the galvanizing building in the Pond 2 area. <br /> The facility's Closure Plan proposes either: 1. Removal of all <br /> the contaminated soil, 2 . Installation of an engineered RCRA <br /> cap, 3 . Installation of an engineered RCRA cell or, 4 . Site <br /> grading, when it is shown that soils are found to be <br />
