If I'm remembering correctly, Redfield Gunsight Co. ceased business in 1999.

The primary chemicals that have been detected in the groundwater include: • 1,1 Dichloroethene (1,1-DCE). This compound can be formed in groundwater as a breakdown product of 1,1,1 Trichloroethane (TCA), TCE and Perchloroethylene (PCE). • Trichloroethene (TCE). TCE is a solvent that commonly was used in the past for cleaning manufactured and machined parts, and in common household products such as pesticides, glues and adhesives. TCE continues to be used as an industrial cleaner in the automotive and metals industries, and still may be found in household products such as cleaning fluids for rugs, paint removers and cleaning solvents. • 1,1,1 Trichloroethane (TCA). TCA is a common industrial and home-cleaning compound. For example, it is used in spot removers and automobile cleaning supplies. • Perchloroethylene (or Tetrachloroethylene) (PCE). This chemical primarily was (and continues to be) used in the dry cleaning process, but also was a cleaning agent used in manufacturing operations. Methylene Chloride. This compound is a paint thinner and stripper, and is used in some industrial testing applications. • Benzene. This chemical is a constituent of gasoline. It is in the groundwater beneath and near the Redfield site due to releases of gasoline from other properties upgradient of the Redfield site.
Long ago I drove by the site and mourned a tad
