 | | Conditions at listing (October 1981): Three properties, Callahan 28 (acres), Rosalie (85 acres), and Bliss (12 acres), near Ellisville, Missouri, are known collectively as the Ellisville site. |
 | | In 1980, a contractor unearthed buried drums of paint solvents and pesticides while constructing a sewer line at the Callahan property. |
 | | Since early February 1982, EPA has authorized about $500,000 (part under a Cooperative Agreement with Missouri) for (1) disposal of the excavated drums, (2) a remedial investigation to determine the type and extent of contamination at the Bliss property, and (3) a feasibility study to identify alternatives for remedial actions at all three. |
