USEPA OSC Jack Downie was on site for oversight of activities.
Emergency and Rapid Response Services (ERRS) contractor Guardian Environmental, Inc held its morning safety meeting and discussed the days planned activities. ERRS moved empty 55- gallon drums from Building #2 to Building #8 to make room for repackaged drums in Building #2. Storing empty drums in Building #8 makes the repackaging operation run smoother since the drums are more accessible and closer to the repackaging operation. After completing the transfer and cleanup of drums and cleanup of the repackaging area ERRS resumed repackaging drums and repacked 40 drums for the day.
START assisted as needed and conducted written/photographic documentation.

USEPA OSC Jack Downie was on site for oversight of activities. OSC Downie demobilized.
Emergency and Rapid Response Services (ERRS) contractor Guardian Environmental, Inc held its morning safety meeting and discussed the days planned activities. While dumping drums in order to repackage the material into new 55-gallon drums 2 drums started to react and were moved to a isolated location and allowed to continue reacting. The material never caught fire but smoldered for approximately 2 hours. After the containers were checked to make sure the material was safe to handle, vented lids were placed on the drums and they were stored in a safe location. ERRS repackaged 58 drums for the day.
START assisted the EPA as needed and conducted written/photographic documentation.
