See previous POLREPs for Site description information. Neither Stoney Creek Technologies nor any other Respondent to EPA's Orders or Potentially Responsible Party is conducting response actions due to bankruptcy, financial inability, or other reasons; therefore, EPA continues to use its own contractor resources to conduct response actions at the Site. The OSC estimates that the remaining chemical inventory within the tanks at the Site is approximately 200,000 gallons and consists primarily of lower viscosity materials and tank heels in about 100 tanks.
OSC Dominic Ventura has assumed lead OSC responsibilities at the Stoney Creek Technologies Site. ERRS contractor continued consolidation of material that can be pumped in tanks. As of October 12th, the liquid material from 12 tanks in the SACI area has been consolidated into tank T-204. The liquid material from 20 tanks in the LimOH and Mag areas has been consolidated in Tank T-534. The consolidated material will temporarily remain in T-204 and T-534 until a final disposal solution is determined. To date, approximately 4,800 gallons of liquid material is stored in T-534 and 16,680 gallons is stored in T-204. Residuals that are too viscous to be pumped out with a vacuum truck remain in some of these tanks. ERRS contractor made several tank entries in order to remove materials that could not be pumped. ERRS contractors continued draining and steaming of process lines and filters in the SACI area. ERRS continued to drain the material from T-229; a thick resin material (Beckosol). To date, 47 drums have been generated. A small section of wall that surrounds the waste water treatment plant was broken on the side of the site that borders 4th Street. It appears that the damage was caused by a motor vehicle hitting the wall because the security fence just outside of the wall is bent in and damaged in this area. THe OSC does not believe the damaged wall effects the functionality of the treatment plant. A vent pipe broke off from Tank 173. It appears that this was caused by corrosion at the point where the pipe was attached to the top of the tank. This tank only contains a small heel of solid material. The vent pipe is now resting on process pipes that run next to the tank and would be difficult to remove. The pipe appears stable, but contractors have placed caution tape around the area as a precaution.
Complete off-Site disposal of drummed wastes. Continue to clear pipelines of remaining chemical inventory, consolidate and prepare materials for disposal. Continue consolidation of remaining tank heels or drumming of tank heels for disposal. Continue to monitor, treat, and discharge excess waters from the Site into Stoney Creek and prevent oily material from migrating from the Site into Stoney Creek via discharges onto the adjacent public roadway.
During the week of October 18, START contractor will conduct subsurface investigation using a Geoprobe to determine nature and extent of contamination beneath the site. The investigation will include both visual observation and collection of samples for laboratory analysis. Sampling activities will be coordinated with pre-remedial who will conduct sampling activities at the same time in order to determine whether the site qualifies for possible remedial action. START will initiate sampling of storm water across the site in order to determine level of contamination in water that drains to the waste water treatment plant.
Disposal activities include disposal from individual tanks, tank consolidations, and a variety of drums. Single manifests may include wastes from multiple sources. Wastes are primarily disposed as corrosive (acids and caustics), flammable (items containing solvents), and non hazardous (primarily oil-based materials).
