1.1.1 Incident Category
CERCLA Incident Category: Inactive Recycling Facility
1.1.2 Site Description
1.1.2.1 Location
See Initial Polrep.
1.1.2.2 Description of Threat
The presence of heavy metals, PCBs, asbestos and numerous drums and compressed gas cylinders presents potential threats to human health and the environment by exposures to impacted air, soil and water at and around the Site.
See Initial Polrep for additional information.
1.1.3 Preliminary Removal Assessment/Removal Site Inspection Results
Primary contaminants of concern identified during the Site Assessment included: heavy metals (antimony, arsenic, cadmium, lead, mercury), asbestos (chrysotile) and PCBs (Aroclor 1242 and 1254).
See Initial Polrep for additional information.

2.1.1 Narrative
The Time-Critical Removal Action at the New Lyme Metals Site is addressing the presence of heavy metals and PCBs in the soils by excavating and disposing of the impacted material off site. All asbestos containing materials, drums and compressed gas cylinders will also be removed and disposed of at an off site facility. Air monitoring and sampling is being conducted for the protection of the workers and the public. In addition, well samples have been collected to determine if any of the contaminants on Site have impacted the ground water.
2.1.2 Response Actions to Date
During the period of August 15 to August 20, 2011, U.S.EPA along with START and ERRS contractors continued removal activities at the Site, these activities included:
- Excavated TSCA material from 2 grids (B-7, B-8, C-8, D-7, E-6, E-7, E-8, F-7)
- Excavated TSCA/TCLP material from 2 grids (D-6, F-5)
- Completed remixing/treatement of TSCA/TCLP grid C-9, D-6 and began treatment of grid F-5 with Free Flow 100 after failure for cadmium
- Transported 35 loads of TSCA PCB contaminated material to CWM Chemical Services for disposal
- Loaded three 30-yard roll-off boxes with tires for recycling
- Dewatered excavation areas and pumped storm run-off to an on Site frac-tank for treatment
- Discharged 21,000 gallons of treated contact storm run-off
- Continued decontamination of tires for recycling
- Continued dust suppression efforts in load out and excavation areas
- Continued site survey with Ludlum Model 192 gamma radiation detector
- Continued air monitoring for dust and sampling for PCBs and asbestos at site perimeter
Air sampling results continue to show detectable concentrations of PCBs at the Site perimeter that are well below the OSHA PEL and considered in an acceptable range by ATSDR.
Following treatment of contact storm run-off, the treated water is sampled and results compared to State of Ohio MCL regulatory criteria for public water, ground water, and surface water systems to ensure compliance prior to discharge.
Samples from soil borrow met all Ohio EPA direct contact standards and will be suitable for use as backfill.
2.1.3 Enforcement Activities, Identity of Potentially Responsible Parties (PRPs)
U.S. EPA continues its efforts in determining viable potentially responsible parties as well as identifying and locating additional locations where the operations took place. Currently, U.S. EPA has identified two possible locations where activities, similar to those at New Lyme Metals, may have taken place.
