The ESB Site consists of the former ESB battery manufacturing facility and the approximately 16 private properties immediately surrounding the facility. There are two removal actions underway. The facility is conducting an enforcement-lead action within the facility grounds and EPA is conducting a fund-lead removal action at the private residential properties. The contaminant of concern is lead. The private properties have lead contaminated soil from stack deposition that occurred during the facility operational history.
Additionally, an old drainage ditch trending from the facility and ending at University Drive has been determined to be high in lead and will be removed under this action. The area is proposed for inclusion into the Atlanta Beltway Project.
|
This week EPA mobilized ERRS contractor CMC and START contrator TTEMI to begin excavation of lead-contaminated soil. Activity began at 786 Hartford Place. Average total lead high was approximately 1200 mg/kg. Soil was determined to be RCRA non-hazardous and is being hauled directly to the Allied Waste Subtitle D landfill in Conley, GA.
|
EPA intends to continue with soil excavations and restore vegetation at each identified property in succession.
|
The next several properties are 790 Hartford Place, 1243 Allene Avenue, 1255 Allene Avenue, 1259 Allene Avenue, and 1263 Allene Avenue.
