9 26300 La Alameda, Mission Viejo, California Gypsum board manufacturer Unknown Yes-May 15, 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, this company did appear on a list of W.R. Grace licensees and industry partners. At the time of EPA's visit, the corporate office of the James Hardie Company, not a manufacturing facility, was located on the site. EPA also found that the site was paved and concluded that if any vermiculite was present in the soil, it would be encapsulated by the pavement and unlikely to pose a threat. EPA determined no further action was needed.
