Another 11,100 gallons of PCB oil is being stored in an on site frac tank pending disposal.
|
|
The draining of transformers is expected to be completed by July 22. U.S. EPA will then begin to move and package for dispose the 3,700 capacitors.
|
|
1) Continue draining transformers,
2) Dispose of transformer oils,
3) Begin the removal and disposal packaging of capacitors,
4) Mobilize crane to move capacitors.
