Site Description

See initial PolRep.


Current Activities

Continued the excavation of the contaminated areas.

Approximately 1200 cubic yards of PCB-contaminated soils and 450 cubic yards on non-PCB-contaminated soils have been excavated and stockpiled so far.

Continued the segregation of the drums and containers.

190 drums have been removed to date.

Began setting up for transportation and disposal of the contaminated soils.

Continued the air monitoring of both the perimeter and the work area.

Loaded and hauled 25 tons of PCB-contaminated soil to the disposal facility for landfilling.


Planned Removal Actions

• Remove and Sample Drums & Containers
• Sample soil stockpiles & generate
        waste profiles
• Perform Hazard Categorization
• Overpack/Repack Drums & Containers
• Excavate/Treat Impacted Soils, as
        necessary
• Transport/Dispose Drums & Impacted Soils
• Backfill & Grade Excavated Areas
• Restore Site, as necessary


Next Steps

• Continue hauling excavated soils from site, once a proper  disposal facility has been coordinated.
• Continue excavation operations.


Key Issues

The disposal facility analytical indicated high levels of lead and TCE for some of the waste. As a result of this,this portion of the waste will either have to be treated on site or incinerated.
