Counties at Route 114, PO. Box 1, Radford, Virginia, 24141-0100.
HWMU-5 is a former lined surface impoundment (Neutralization Pond) located at latitude
37°11T2" North and.longitude 80°32T5" West. HWMU-16 is a closed hazardous waste landfill
located at latitude 37°11'49" North and longitude 80°31'26" West.
These two UNITs, 5, and 16, at the above facility are currently limited to the following activities:
maintenance and monitoring of one closed hazardous waste surface impoundment (5) and one
hazardous waste landfill (16).
The Permittees must comply with all terms and conditions set forth in this Permit including
Permit Appendices A through K of Attachment 1 (applying to both units), Permit Appendices
A through K of Attachment 2 (applying to Unit 5), and Permit Appendices A through H of
