Current Activities

From October 27-November 7th, 2008, EPA continued the process of clearing the interior of the eastern portion of the warehouse facility by disposing of miscellaneous non-hazardous bulk debris.  This is required to safely identify the presence of waste drums and containers that are intermingled with the general debris.  Currently, approximately 70% of the building is inaccessible due to this debris.

To date, a total of 73 drums and 48 5-gallon containers have been staged in the gated courtyard for sampling.  Several dozen unknown samples have been collected from drums and 5-gallon containers for Hazard Categorization (HazCAT) identification.  Twenty-six (26) pallets containing various solids (silica sands, milled sands, dyes, and various unknown powders) have been inventoried and attempts are on-going to verify content via bag markings and material safety data sheets (MSDS).  In addition, nine (09) 20-cubic yard roll-off boxes of miscellaneous debris have been removed from the Site.

On Wednesday October 5, 2008, EPA mobilized the Region 5 HazCAT trailer to the site to assist in identifying materials and performing field chemistry tests.  The result of these tests will determine waste disposal groups.

START continues to monitor ambient air conditions both within and around the perimeter of the site for volatile organic compounds (with the AreaRAE system) and particulates (with a DataRAM and the Rapid Assessment Tools Software).


Planned Removal Actions

-  Continue non-hazardous general debris removal and disposal;
-  Continue segregation of materials;
-  Start field Hazard Categorization (HazCat);
-  Develop waste streams; and
-  Perform final disposal.


Next Steps

Continue Time-Critical Removal Action.


Key Issues

None.


Disposition of Wastes

To date initial removal of waste from interior of warehouse facility consists of non-hazardous misc. bulk debris classified as construction/demolition debris. Nine (9) 20-cubic yard roll-off boxes of non-hazardous debris have been removed from the Site.
