Current Activities

‒ All 67 waste storage tanks and associated piping have been emptied and cleaned with a water rinse.

‒ To date, 713,608 gallons of liquid hazardous waste has been shipped to off-site EPA approved TSDFs.  


Planned Removal Actions

‒ Continue to ship remnant liquid materials to EPA approved off-site TSDFs for recycling, treatment or thermal destruction.  

‒ Place remaining drummed materials into 85-gallon over-packs prior to off-site shipment no later than January 9, 2004.

‒ A change order proposal for Tank G-4 contents is being reviewed for removal consideration by the PRP group technical committee.  At this time, no formal decision has been made by the PRP group to remove the oil solids and clean Tank G-4.


Next Steps

‒ Empty drums will be placed into the waste drum storage building.

‒ A final site inspection was scheduled for January 9, 2004.  Upon satisfactory completion of the final inspection, all man-way covers, previously removed to access tank interiors, will be replaced and securely fastened.

‒ One partially filled bulk tanker will be used to remove any liquid waste accumulations that may potentially weep from tank bottoms prior to demobilization.  It is anticipated that this last load will depart the site on January 9, 2004.  Remaining overpacked drums will be removed as well.

‒ At this time, demobilization of contractors equipment and site office trailer will occur the week of January 26, 2004.
