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
