1.2 BACKGROUND

The Indiana Harbor and Canal CDF is located in East Chicago, Indiana. The CDF was constructed on a former petroleum refinery site that has open status under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA); the site required corrective action.

The site contains buried waste and debris, a free phase oil layer on top of the contaminated groundwater, and contaminated soil. The CDF consists of the following major features:

1) Clay exterior dikes, with a height of approximately 22’;

2) An interior dike that divides the CDF into two cells of approximately 45 acres each; the interior dike is approximately 18’ high and each cell includes a decant structure;

3) A groundwater gradient system which consists of 88 groundwater extraction wells, plus monitoring wells, collection piping, level sensors, and lift stations;

4) A bentonite slurry cutoff wall that isolates the site on the west, north, and east sides, plus a sealed steel sheetpile wall along the canal;

5) An administration building and parking lot for site management operations; and

6) Support facilities including a gravel pad for a package wastewater treatment plant, a crane pad for debris off-loading, a storage pad, a decontamination station for rinsing vehicles or large objects, roads, air monitoring pads, and utilities.
