The Bally ground water site is a municipal water supply well field in the borough of Bally in Berk's county, near the Philadelphia metropolitan area. The Bally well field and the nearby springs to the northwest of the site are the public water sources for approximately 1,200 residents. The area near the site includes wetlands to the north and a manufacturing plant, Bally Engineered Structures, 1,000 feet to the south of municipal well number 3. Since the 1930's, degreasing solvents containing methylene chloride, TCA, Methanol, Toluene, and TCE have been used in manufacturing at this plant. In 1982, a state water quality check identified the plant as a source of VOC contamination in Bally's municipal wells. The
The estimated present cost for this remedial action ranges from $2,950,000 to $3,640,000 dollars. This site is being addressed through Federal, state, and potentially responsible parties action.

The site was formally added to the list July 22, 1987, making it eligible for federal cleanup funds. Currently, VOC-contaminated ground water extends from the plant to the east and northeast. Contaminant movement has become more controlled since pumping and air stripping pilot testing began at well number three. Ground water is the focus of this remediation because no remaining source
