 | | Conditions at proposal (January 22, 1987): Arlington Blending and Packaging Co. operated on 2.5 acres in southwest Tennessee in Arlington, Shelby County, from the 1950s to 1979. |
 | | In the mid-1970s, because of violations of the Clean Water Act, the State took enforcement actions against the company to reduce pesticide contamination from tributaries leading to the Loosahatchie River Canal, which is 7,100 feet from the site in the most probable drainage route. |
 | | In 1979, after the Tennessee Division of Water Quality Control sampled the site and an adjacent housing development, the State recommended that the developer install a fence between the homes and the plant and apply 1-2 inches of clean topsoil in the backyards of the two homes closest to the plant. |
