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 22 to September 6, 2011, U.S.EPA along with START and ERRS contractors continued removal activities at the Site, these activities included:
- Excavated non-hazardous soils from 10 grids (A'-6, A'-7, A'-8, A-6, A-7, A-8, B-5, C-6, D-5, E-6)
- Excavated and treated TCLP grids B'-4 and C-7 with Free Flow 100
- Transported 35 loads of TSCA PCB contaminated material to CWM Chemical Services for disposal
- Transported 28 loads of non-hazardous soils to American Landfill for disposal
- Transported 6 roll-off boxes of scrap/used tires to Liberty Tire Recycling
- Dewatered excavation areas and pumped storm run-off to an on Site frac-tank for treatment
- Discharged 37,000 gallons of treated contact storm run-off
- Completed 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
- Collected 93 confirmatory samples from excavated areas
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.
Heavy rains impacted excavation activities contained contact storm run-off was pumped into on-site frac tanks for treatment. 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.
2.1.3 Enforcement Activities, Identity of Potentially Responsible Parties (PRPs)
U.S. EPA continues its efforts in identifying 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.
