Emergency and Rapid Response Services (ERRS) contractor Guardian Environmental Services, Inc. held its morning safety meeting and discussed the days planned activities.
ERRS began preparing drums containing magnesium material for inspection by Capitol Inc. (The subcontractor chosen by EPA to assist with the disposal/recycling of the remaining magnesium -filled drums.) The Capitol Inc. representatives inspected and sorted the drums into various classifications (i.e. fines, turnings, powder, chunks, etc.) After the drums were inspected and labeled by Capitol, ERRS workers resealed the drums, banded them together on skids in groups of four, and moved them from their current staging area in building 2 to building 9 near the loading dock to await offsite shipment for recycling /disposal. Some of the drums inspected contained water in addition to the magnesium material. These drums were set aside for de-watering.
START mobilized to the site and provided the OSC with technical and administrative assistance, conducted contractor monitoring, drum inspection, disposal tracking and written and photographic documentation.
