Site Description

Georgia Environmental Protection Division (EPD) requested EPA assistance at a tornado damaged boat storage and repair facility near Darien, Ga.    OSC Jeff Crowley was dispatched to the Site to provide assistance to EPD.

The OSC arrived on site the morning of May 12th, 2008 and met with the Fire Chief for Darien and EPD.  They conducted a site walkthrough to determine the extent of hazardous materials and oil that were scattered across the Site.  The Site consists of four separate facilities: the Darien Volunteer Fire Department, a boat repair facility, a custom boat painting facility and the Gateway Behavioral Health Services facility.  All four were a complete loss due to the tornado.  There are approximately 10 drums of oil and at least two drums of acid strewn through the debris field.  There are also hundreds of boat batteries, paint cans, HHW and various other smaller oil containers on the Site.  There are also approximately 50-60 boats that have been destroyed in the storm that spilled their contents of oil and gas onto the soil.  After speaking with the RP's, local EMA and EPD, it was determined that there was no other financial mechanism for handling the haz mat than for EPA to activate ERRS.  


Current Activities

ERRS arrived on site late in the day on 5/12.  The OSC and EPD gave the Removal Manger a site tour and debriefed him on the proposed site activities.


Planned Removal Actions

Removal of HHW, oil/gas containers and any other hazardous materials will be removed during the next reporting period.
