| 9 | 17 Street & Rochester, Cucamonga, California | Unknown | 2,002 | Yes-May 11, 2000 | Yes | According to an EPA database compiled from W.R. Grace shipping invoices, 2,002 tons of vermiculite ore from the Libby mine were shipped to this site between February 1972 and December 1983. At the time of EPA's visit, Foseco was no longer operating at the site and another company occupied the site. EPA collected 4 air, 16 soil, and 5 dust samples. 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 asbestos structures 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 amounts of asbestos in all of the samples were below the levels that trigger a cleanup action, EPA determined no further action was needed. |
