9 928 Allen Avenue, Glendale, California Unknown 1.5 Yes-May 10, 2000 No According to an EPA database compiled from W.R. Grace shipping invoices, 1.5 tons of vermiculite ore from the Libby mine were shipped to this site between August 1964 and January 1967. At the time of EPA's visit, Al-Lube was no longer operating at the site and another company occupied the site. EPA 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.
