| 9 | 1631 W. Lincoln Avenue, Anaheim, California | Former exfoliation facility | Unknown | Yes-April 18, 2000 | Yes | An EPA database compiled from W.R. Grace shipping invoices did not contain any records indicating Libby ore was shipped to this site. However, according to a 1964 report issued by the Bureau of Mines (at that time in the U.S. Department of the Interior), this facility had been a vermiculite exfoliation plant. U.S. Geological Survey reports in 1970 and 1975 also indicated that this facility was a vermiculite exfoliation plant. EPA collected 5 air, 8 soil, and 5 dust samples at this site. The air samples did not contain detectable levels of asbestos; the soil samples contained less than 1-percent asbestos; and the dust samples contained less than 10,000 structures of asbestos per square centimeter of wiped surface. The soil samples were analyzed using polarized light microscopy (PLM) and the air and dust samples were analyzed using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Since the sampling results were below levels that would trigger a cleanup action, EPA determined no further action was needed. |
