About This Site

?
Written by NukeWorker from public records: facts that do not change. Operator, status and capacity come from the live data elsewhere on this page. Sources: OSTI: RCRA Summary Document for the David Witherspoon 1630 Site, Knoxville, Tennessee; NTRL: Independent verification report for the David Witherspoon sites (2009).

David Witherspoon, Inc. (DWI) operated a group of scrap metal and landfill sites in South Knoxville, Tennessee, on and near Maryville Pike. These included the 901 Maryville Pike site (also called the Candora Site), the 1630 Maryville Pike site, and a nearby landfill.

The sites took in scrap materials and equipment from U.S. Department of Energy facilities, including those at Oak Ridge, Paducah, Kentucky, and Portsmouth, Ohio, and the company was permitted by the Tennessee Division of Radiological Health to accept low-level radiologically contaminated metals. The 1630 site operated from the 1950s until 1974, when the state closed the landfill. All three sites were later listed on Tennessee's Superfund list, and cleanup of the 901 site was completed in 2006.
