On October 31, 2007, approximately 2,300 gallons of #2 oil was added to cut the #6 oil in order to pump out the tank. Some piping needed to be removed in order to perform the sparging and the pumping operations.

On October 30, 2007, OSC and ERRS Contractor mobilized. There was approximately 5,000 gallons of #6 oil in the 20,000 gallon tank. Approximately 2,300 gallons of #2 oil was added to cut the #6 oil in order to pump out the tank. Some piping needed to be removed in order to perform the sparging and the pumping of the tank. There is some friable asbestos insulation on the tank but the majority of the piping is insulated with fiberglass. If asbestos needs to be disposed of, cost will be allocated from the previous Task Order Fund and not the OPA Fund.

On October 23, 2007, OSC Kahn and OSC Daly conducted a final walk-thru with NJDEP ISRA Representatives, Lawrence Township Health Department, the property representative, and local Fire Marshal. The last of the hazardous materials left the site on September 21, 2007 which completed the removal action. The DEP was pleased with the work that was performed. However, during the tour an accumulation of oil near an outside boiler was observed in a pipe chase. This area contained a small amount of oil during the initial removal action and was removed by ERRS. No sign of oil was observed in the pipe chase from that point in time until the completion of the removal action. It appears that an outdoor 20,000 gallon tank containing #6 Oil is leaking into the pipe chase between the tank and the boiler.
