According to a government press release, a nearby asbestos manufacturing plant used the Borit asbestos site to dump asbestos-laden waste. The acreage is divided into three parcels: an asbestos waste pile owned by Kane-Core Inc., a reservoir owned by Wassahickon Valley Watershed Association and a former park and playground owned by the Whiptan Township.

The reservoir is formed by a berm built from asbestos shingles, millboard and dirt. In fact, according to the press release, piping and tiles containing asbestos are still visible along the banks of the stream feeding the reservoir.
