| 7 | 1463 Barwise Street, Wichita, Kansas | Former exfoliation facility | Unknown | Yes-May 16, 2000 | No | An EPA database compiled from W.R. Grace shipping invoices did not contain any records indicating Libby ore was shipped to this site. However, reports issued in 1953 and 1964 by the Bureau of Mines (at that time in the U.S. Department of the Interior) indicated this facility had been a vermiculite exfoliation plant. At the time of EPA's visit, Dodson Manufacturing no longer operated at the site. EPA inspected the site and found no visible evidence of vermiculite or mica. EPA determined that Dodson had made cinder blocks at the site. The site's current owner had no knowledge of vermiculite use at the facility. EPA determined no further action was needed. |
