Site Description

See POLREP #1


Current Activities

U.S. EPA has completed excavation of 7,500 tons of contaminated source material and treated 418,000 gallons of contaminated water.  U.S. EPA is using a Geoprobe to map out remaining smear zone contaminated soil and demobilizing heavy equipment and personnel.  Excavation and backfilling continued daily until September 17th.

Site activities to date:

August 21 - 24, 2003 - Sampled water treatment system influent and effluent.

August 25 - September 5, 2003 - Three summa canister air samples were collected and shipped to the REAC.  Analytical results showed no off-site impact.  The soil washing unit was demobilized based on analytical results showing the soil to be non-hazardous.

September 6 - 17, 2003 - Five summa canister air samples were collected.  Analytical results showed no off-site impact.  Two additional polishing drums were added to the treatment system based projected breakthrough of contaminates.  Excavation was completed.


Planned Removal Actions

Use a Geoprobe to sample the bottom of the excavation.  Continue decontamination and demobilization of equipment.


Next Steps

Evaluate Geoprobe results need for a second phase.
