The Greenwood Chemical Site (“site”) is an inactive chemical manufacturing facility located in Newtown, Albemarle County, Virginia on VA Route 690 approximately 0.75 miles west of the town of Greenwood, Virginia and approximately 20 miles west of Charlottesville. The area of the Site associated with chemical manufacturing and waste disposal activity comprises approximately 18 acres. A number of removal and remedial actions have occurred to address buried drums and contaminated lagoons. Two lagoons remain at the site, and a ground water P&T system has been implemented as an interim remedy to extract and treat contaminated ground water and to manage the water levels in the remaining lagoons.
