Daily Activities

•  ERRS continued consolidation of the residual oily solid waste from the 55-gallon drums and totes that were emptied previously.  All containers are being rendered unusable after cleaning.
•  Water is being sprayed in work areas in order to keep dust levels down during work activities.
•  Continued maintenance of sorbent boom in trenches to absorb pcb contaminated oils.
•  START performed perimeter dust monitoring and collected perimeter dust samples for respirable silica during dust activities.  All monitoring/sampling results were less than the site’s action levels.  


Current Activities

July 13, 2009 (Monday)
•  ERRS continued the treatment of wastewater from the trenches/tunnels in Building #6.
•  ERRS backfilled pipe trenches in Buildings #3 and #4.
•  ERRS began removing and consolidating general debris and foundry sand along the southeast exterior of Building #3.

•  Drums and totes were prepared for off-site T&D.
•  ERRS backfilled the basement area of Building #1 with the C&D debris (brick) staged inside Building #4.
•  ERRS began using the concrete-breaking attachment to the excavator to break; large concrete footers originating from the electrical substation, large blocks of attached fire brick inside Building 6, and the concrete floor above the tunnels in Building #6.

July 15, 2009, (Wednesday)
•  ERRS continued sorting demolition debris inside Building #4 and backfilling into the basement area of Building #1.

•  Eight truck-loads (estimated 22-yards per truck) of low-level PCB contaminated debris from within Building #6 and the pile of debris west of the concrete staging pad were transported off site for disposal.
•  Three 20-yard roll-off boxes of mixed asbestos / PCB waste were transported off site for disposal.
•  73 drums of various waste streams were transported off site for disposal.
•  Eight cubic yard boxes of  PCB-contaminated sand was shipped off site for disposal.
•  ERRS began demolition activities on the interior office building inside Building #6.  An electrical transformer was on the roof of this building and leaked pcb oil.

- Consolidate, sample, perform hazardous categorization and off-site disposal of all drums and containers on the site (estimated 100 drums, 100 totes and misc small containers).
- Remove and dispose of PCB contaminated water from the pits associated with the building.
- Remove and dispose of PCB contaminated sand, soils, and concrete.
- Remove transformers containing PCB oil.
- Remove and dispose of silica quartz dust/sand, as necessary.
- Performing final grading/covering of the property.

- Residents are located directly across the street from the site.  As such, daily perimeter air samples for silica dust and respirable dust will be collected during all activities involving foundry sand.

A total of 3,144 tons of ACWM debris went to Minerva Landfill, Waynseburg, Ohio for disposal.

A total of 85 tons of mixed ACWM and PCB debris went to Minerva Landfill, Waynesburg, Ohio for disposal.
