Title of Presentation: Avtex Fibers Superfund Site:Time Critical Removal Action for Buildings Authors: Rick Brannon (ENSR International, Westford, MA), Doug Bement (FMC Corporation, Front Royal, VA), Bill Cutler (FMC Corporation, Philadelphia, PA), and John Hazard(ERM, Exton, PA) Keywords: manufacturing, National Priority List, Superfund, removal, demolition, piles, containerized, screening, segregation, minimization Abstract: The Avtex Fibers Superfund Site is a former rayon manufacturing facility located on 440 acres along the Shenendoaha River in Front Royal, Virginia. The Site was listed on the National Priority List in 1986, and EPA took Emergency Action when the manufacturing facility ceased operations in 1989. EPA conducted numerous Removal and Remedial Actions from 1989 through September 1999, when FMC Corporation (a former property owner) took over EPA's work. The primary Superfund work since 1999 has been a Time Critical Removal Action (TCRA) for abandoned manufacturing buildings, which addresses the management/disposition of impacted demolition debris, a variety of waste piles, containerized waste, aboveground and subgrade structures and a carbon disulfide recovery system. Over 157,400 cubic yards of demolition debris, 15,500 cubic yards of waste piles, and thousands of containers of waste were generated during the EPA's cleanup and demolition work prior to 1999.
