Re: Solvents Recovery Service of New England Site (Southington, CT) Section 104(e) Response Solvents Recovery service of New Jersey

Dear Lee Bishop:

Safety-Kleen Corp. hereby submits the following response on behalf of its subsidiary, Solvents Recovery Service of New Jersey, Inc.("SRSNJ"), to the EPA Section 104(e) Information Request pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), 42 U.S.C. Section 9604(e), and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), 42 U.S.C. Section 6927.

Please be advised that Safety-Kleen submits its response pursuant to the above-referenced laws, but reserves any rights or defenses it may assert in the future in regard to any action taken pursuant to issues involving the Solvents Recovery Service of New England ("SRSNE") Superfund Site located in Southington, Connecticut.

Please be further advised that Safety-Kleen acquired SRSNJ on January 26, 1989, well after the time period in question, and except for any documents which may have been at the Linden, NJ Facility at that time, there was no transfer of historic SRSNJ records to Safety-Kleen as a result of the acquisition.

Safety-Kleen has conducted a record search for any documents in its possession that may exist which relate to the type of wastes that were allegedly sent to the SRSNE site by SRSNJ during the time period of 1955 through 1980, and have determined that written documents are no longer available. Safety-Kleen has also consulted with the attorney for Carl Boll, the prior owner of SRSNJ, and was told that there is no existing documentation in Mr. Boll's possession.

Lee Bishop Tech L4W SRS Project January 20, 1993 Page Two

In addition to the record search, Safety-Kleen has sought information from past employees of SRSNJ to determine the types of wastes generated by SRSNJ from 1955 through 1980. Attached please find a generic list of solvents processed and disposed of by SRSNJ. This list was provided to us by the former Plant Superintendent of SRSNJ, Ron Fisher. Mr. Fisher does not have any additional documentation from SRSNJ. Accordingly, Safety-Kleen cannot confirm the source or disposal location of these wastes due to lack of documentation. In addition, Safety-Kleen wants to emphasize that although SRSNJ handled wastes similar to the wastes currently handled by Safety-Kleen, these wastes are not identical to Safety-Kleen' s.

We trust that this information will be helpful in your information search. Safety-Kleen reserves the right to supplement its responses to this information request should any new facts pertinent to the inquiry be found.

Sincerely,

' Ci ^ A.yA J . /-̂ ^

Notaa: (1) The transaction date refers to the date the waste was delivered to SRSNE. This

date may differ from the date the waste left the generator's facility, (particularly if the transaction was brokered by another party), and therefore may not match exactly with your records. EPA expects you to make your best efforts to correlate your records with EPA's documents. This is to prevent double-counting of shipments in EPA's volumetric ranking.

(2) All gallon volumes are waste-in transactions to SRSNE.

(3) Please state waste type by chemical name. If the chemical name is not known, please state the trade name and the manufacturer's name.

(4) e.g., XYZ Chemical Company - generator; ABC Waste Trucking - transporter; EFG Waste Disposal Service - broker.
