| 7 | 217 Lombard Street, St. Louis, Missouri | Foundry and metal casting product manufacturer | 0.5 | Yes-March 30, 2000 | No | According to an EPA database compiled from W.R. Grace shipping invoices, 0.5 tons of vermiculite ore from the Libby mine were shipped to this site in May 1979. At the time of EPA's visit, a company called BPM operated at the site and produced the same products that had been produced by the M.A. Bell Company--foundry and metal casting products. M.A. Bell began operations at the site in 1929. According to the BPM plant manager, BPM had never expanded (exfoliated) vermiculite ore at the facility. BPM did produce a product that contains vermiculite. EPA saw an invoice that indicated BPM received the vermiculite ore it used from Strong-Lite Products in Pine Bluff, Arkansas. (This facility is listed separately in this database.) EPA determined no further action was needed. |
