Site Description

Pleas refer to Initial POLREP.


Current Activities

During this reporting period, over six hundred drums of waste have been safely secured in a pre-designated staging area.  The majority of the drums were removed from five abandoned trailers (tractor) located on the premises.  Numerous drums had to be overpacked due to their poor condition.

Five Above Ground Storage Tanks were decanted of rain water and properly secured.  Hazcat samples were also pulled from these tanks and analyzed.


Planned Removal Actions

Once all waste streams have been adequately identified, the materials will be bulked and disposed of properly.


Next Steps

Once all of the drums have been properly staged, sampling of the drums will start.


Key Issues

Physical concerns due to heat.

Physical condition of the drums and the dangers associated with moving them.
