Current Activities

During this reporting period the Responsible Party's contractor, ERM Inc., continued weekly oil extraction activities.   The total liquids extracted thru 3/31/07 includes 38,936gals of contaminated water and 4,021 gals of fuel oil.  Bi-Weekly extraction events will continue.

In accordance with Section 3.3 of the Site Abatement Plan,
ERM submitted the replanting diagram to Episcopal Ministries of the
Aging (EMA) on 30 March 2007. Planting of the hybrid poplar trees
along the unnamed tributary is scheduled to occur during April,
following approval from EMA.

Full scale fluid recovery event during the first week of the month at
Sump D, as it was the only sump in the seep area that had a detectable thickness of free product during the prior month’s monitoring. Large rain events occurring during the month will also receive scrutiny for additional full scale extraction events.
ERM and Fogle's personnel will continue to inspect and replace sorbents in the creek as part of the required work under this AOC.


Planned Removal Actions

Continue with operations as defined in the Site Abatement Plan.
