Cleanup Activities
The facility achieved a "Remedy Construction Complete" determination on July 30, 2014. An engineered control was constructed over the former surface impoundments. Contaminated soils were removed from the site, along with storage tanks. A light non-aqueous phase liquid recovery system was installed to recover product released to groundwater beneath the site.
Cleanup Actions or environmental indicators characterizing the entire facility are shown below. This listing, and all the data on this page, come from EPA’s RCRAInfo and are refreshed nightly to this page. For this table, a blank in the Status column could mean the action either has not occurred or has not been reported in RCRAInfo.

Facility Description
Waterbury Rolling Mills produced sheet brass and, later, copper alloy strip for the manufacture of circuit boards and electrical connectors on this property from the early 1900s until 2006. Facility operations, such as melting, casting, grinding, rolling, annealing, slitting, pickling, milling, and packaging of metal products resulted in the generation of metal hydroxide sludges, smelting wastes, and casting wastes. Some of these wastes were managed in an on-site surface impoundment system.
