Cleanup Status
Note: The EPA is the lead agency for managing cleanups at this facility.
in May 2017, EPA determined that contamination in groundwater and human exposures risk from contaminants were under control.
EPA's review of available information indicates there are no unaddressed releases of hazardous waste or hazardous constituents from the Facility. Based on that assessment, EPA's proposed decision is that no further investigation or cleanup is required. A Corrective Action Statement of Basis was issued in May 2017.
Cleanup Actions or environmental indicators characterizing the entire facility are shown below. It is not intended as an extensive list of milestones/activities. This listing, and all the data on this page, come from EPA’s RCRAInfo and are refreshed nightly to this page. For this table and the Cleanup Activities Pertaining to a Portion of the Facility table that follows, a blank in the Status column could mean the action either has not occurred or has not been reported in RCRAInfo.

Facility Description
Link to a larger, interactive view of the map.
Crane’s Chempump Division began operations on June 25, 1961, as a manufacturing facility of industrial and custom-made chemical pumps. The manufacturing process involved the design, assembly, painting, and distribution of the chemical pumps. It is unknown what types or how wastes were handled from 1961 to 1980.
The Chempump Facility, encompasses approximately 10.6 acres of land in Warrington, Bucks County, Pennsylvania. From 1961 through 2003, the Facility operated at this address as the Chempump Division of Crane Company, a manufacturer of industrial and custom-made chemical pumps. Teikoku USA (a subsidiary of Teikoku Electric Manufacturing Co. Ltd. of Japan) purchased Crane's Chempump Division in March 2003, and operated at the Site through 2004. Chempump's manufacturing operations were relocated to 959 Mearns Road, Warminster, Pennsylvania in November 2004. The Facility was sold to Penn' s Grant Realty (represented by Doylestown Real Estate) in November 2004.
Contaminants at this Facility
The facility was a hazardous waste treatment storage and disposal facility for spent non-halogenated solvents.
Institutional and Engineering Controls at this Facility
There are no unaddressed releases of hazardous waste or hazardous constituents from the Facility, so Institutional and Engineering Controls were not required.
Institutional and Engineering Controls help ensure human exposure and groundwater migration are under control at a cleanup facility. Where control types have been reported by states and EPA in EPA’s RCRAInfo, they are shown below. Not all control types are needed at all facilities, and some facilities do not require any controls. Where there are blanks, the control types may not be needed, may not be in place, or may not be reported in RCRAInfo.
