In 1993 the Virginia Department of Health discovered pollution at the site. In January 1994 Aileen, Inc. filed for bankruptcy in New York and in October 1994 the Flint Hill plant closed.
Aileen, Inc. contracted National Environmental Technologies, Inc. of Charlotte, N.C. to perform tests on monitoring wells and domestic wells in June and December 1994 and July 1995. Although NET recommended monthly testing, no more was done until the supervisors paid $3700 to Joyce Engineering of Richmond to conduct a study in April. Joyce’s test results showed a significant decline in the toxic chemicals in most of the nine wells they sampled.
However, trichloroethylene still exceeded the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s drinking water standard or maximum contaminant level (MCL) of five parts per billion (ppb) in one well on site with a level of 19.9 ppb and at the Flint Hill Pentecostal Church with a level of 44.10 ppb. Aileen, Inc. continues to provide the church with drinking water.
At the supervisors’ request, the DEQ engineers tested wells on July 13 at the property and residential wells down gradient
