June 1, 2009 (Monday) • ERRS began the clean-up of the PCB-contaminated (150,000 ppm PCB) floor debris and foundry sand inside the building of Area #6. • ERRS began and completed an exploratory excavation for a suspected (anecdotal information and site blueprints) underground storage tank. No underground storage tank was located. • ERRS began the removal of residual asbestos pipe insulation and asbestos-contaminated waste material from the floor in Building #4. • ERRS completed the clean-up of ACWM from Areas #1 and #2. June 2, 2009 (Tuesday) • ERRS continued the clean-up of the PCB-contaminated (150,000 ppm PCB) floor debris and foundry sand inside the building of Area #6. • ERRS completed the removal of residual asbestos pipe insulation and asbestos-contaminated waste material from the floor in Building #4. • START conducted a visual inspection of Areas #1 and #2 as part of the final clearance requirements for the removal of asbestos contaminated materials. START collected final clearance micro-vacuum samples and surface soil samples for asbestos. • Former Ohio Cast Products employees indicated thst drums were buried on the property; therefore, test pits were excavated by ERRS to search for buried drums or containers. No drums/containers were observed in the three pits excavated. June 3, 2009, (Wednesday) • Nine additional test pits were excavated by ERRS in the southeast portion of the Site. No drums/containers were observed. • ERRS began consolidation of waste materials from drums, totes and containers into 55-gallon drums and shippable containers and segregated the waste streams. • ERRS continued the clean-up of the PCB-contaminated (150,000 ppm PCB) floor debris and foundry sand inside the building of Area #6. ERRS continued the floor clean-up of ACWM from Building #4. June 4, 2009, (Thursday) • Two (2) roll-off boxes of ACWM transported off site for disposal. • Approximately 30 feet of the western portion of Building #4 was removed for site safety. This portion of the building was heavily damaged from the fire. • The third transformer was removed from the substation area and relocated to the transformer staging area. • ERRS continued consolidation of waste materials from drums, totes and containers into 55-gallon drums and shippable containers. June 5, 2009, (Friday) • ERRS began the clean-up of floor debris from Area #3 (courtyard area) of mixed PCB and asbestos waste. • ERRS continued consolidation of waste materials from drums, totes and containers into 55-gallon drums and shippable containers. • ERRS continued the clean-up of the PCB-contaminated (150,000 ppm PCB) floor debris and foundry sand inside the building of Area #6. • ERRS/START began investigation for the presence/ extent of contamination of PCBs in the vicinity of the electrical substation. June 8, 2009 (Monday) • ERRS/START continued investigation for the presence/extent of contamination of PCBs in the vicinity of the electrical substation. • ERRS continued the transfer and consolidation of waste streams into transportable drums and totes. • ERRS completed the clean-up of the heavily PCB contaminated sand in Building #6 (8 cubic yard boxes) and applied less than 10 solution to the cleaned floor. June 9, 2009 (Tuesday) • ERRS/START continued the investigation for the presence/extent of contamination of PCBs in the vicinity of the electrical substation. • ERRS continued the transfer and consolidation of waste streams into transportable drums and totes. • ERRS continued the removal of asbestos and PCB contaminated debris from Building #3 (courtyard). Waste was placed in lined, 20-yard roll-off boxes for off site disposal. • ERRS continued applying less than 10 solution to the concrete floor in Building #6. June 10, 2009, (Wednesday) • ERRS/START completed the investigation for the presence/extent of contamination of PCBs in the vicinity of the electrical substation. Analytical results for samples collected are pending. • ERRS completed the transfer and consolidation of waste streams into transportable drums and totes. • ERRS began installation of the wastewater treatment system for the removal and filtration of PCB contaminated water from the trench system in Building 6. June 11, 2009, (Thursday) • ERRS continued installation of the wastewater treatment system for the removal and filtration of PCB contaminated water from the trench system in Building 6. • Representatives from the City of Canton sewer division were on site to discuss the discharge requirements and laboratory analytical parameters for the treated wastewater. • ERRS began backfilling the basement area and some of the office area of Building #1 with on-site materials. June 12, 2009, (Friday) • ERRS completed the clean-up of floor debris from Area #3 (courtyard area) of mixed PCB and asbestos waste. • Site walk conducted by US EPA, ERRS and START to qualify and quantify the remaining scope of work activities. • START collected five (5) wipe samples from floor in Building #6, for PCB’s, after the “Less than 10” solution applied to the floor. • START collected five (5) micro-vacuum samples from Building #4 and one (1) micro-vacuum sample from the southwest portion on Building #2 for asbestos final clearance.
- Complete final cleaning of buildings affected by ACWM. - Perform extent of contamination investigation of PCB contaminated soil from leaking transformers (Analytical results penidng). - Initiate removal of PCB contaminated soil (total estimated 3,000 tons). - Consolidate, sample, perform hazardous categorization and off-site disposal of all drums and containers on the site (estimated 100 drums, 100 totes and misc small containers). - Remove and dispose of PCB contaminated water from the pits associated with the building. - Remove transformers containing PCB oil. - Remove and dispose of silica quartz dust/sand, as necessary.
- Residents are located directly across the street from the site. As such, daily perimeter air samples for asbestos will be collected during all asbestos related work.
A total of 3,119 tons of ACWM debris went to Minerva Landfill, Waynseburg, Ohio for disposal. A total of 911 tons of ACWM debris went to American Landfill, Waynesburg, Ohio for disposal
