Wolff-Alport Chemical Corporation was under contract with the AEC (#AT-30-1-Gen-287) for the procurement of thorium containing sludge for stockpiling by the AEC. A March 1949 document mentions, “current contract expires June 30, 1949 and will probably be extended for another year. Cost is approximately $50,000 annually.” This same document shows that almost 30,000 pounds of thorium oxalate sludge was provided the AEC that year. During the period of residual contamination, as designated by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health and as noted in the dates above, employees of subsequent owners and operators of this facility are also covered under the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act.
