The following activities were completed on Site during the week of March 3, 2008: - ERRS continued to consolidated the ash piles and the excavated soil in the northeastern part of the Site; - At the end of each work shift ERRS covered the consolidated ash piles with 6 millimeter thick plastic sheeting; - Approximately 460 cubic yards of clean fill was delivered to the site for back filling. - DustTrakĀ® particulate air monitors continued to be utilized to insure that ash was not causing a health and safety risk; - The analytical results showed the treatment of the ash and soil reduced the lead Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) from 135 mg/L to an average of 17 mg/L; - ERRS mixed an additional 20 tons of SulfiTech A/T with the ash and contaminated soil; - During the mixing process the ash piles were periodically sprayed with water in order to reduce the potential for dust to become airborne; - Composite samples (10 grab per every 200 cubic yards of soil) were collected and submitted for laboratory analysis to insure proper characterization prior to disposal. - START was on Site documenting Site activities.
|
The following activities will be completed: - Once the analytical results are back, the treated ash and soil will be disposed at a local landfill; - START will continue to collect confirmatory samples; - ERRS will continue to backfill excavated areas; - START will continue to document Site activities.
|
Work stopped on March 4, 2008 due to severe weather in the area.
