- Summary
-
Many of the plant operations took place before most environmental regulations, therefore, a potential existed for contaminants to be released into the air, water and land. Preliminary on-site and off-site sampling of surface water, soil, and sediments by the Illinois EPA indicated elevated levels of various metals. Due to the elevated levels, a notice was sent out the [sic.] all potential responsible parties (PRPs) identifying actions that had to be taken at the site, as incorporated the 1995 Consent Order between the PRPs known as the DePue Group, and the Illinois EPA. These actions included an investigation of the extent and types of contamination associated with the site and a study of appropriate remedial measures.
The former New Jersey Zinc/Mobile Chemical Superfund site is located in the Village of DePue in Bureau County and consists of approximately 950 acres. The former zinc smelter plant began in the early 1900's with operations including zinc smelting, and included sulfuric acid production, lithopone paint pigment production and zinc dust production. A diammonium phosphate fertilizer plant began operations in the 1960s.
