Pollution Report (POLREP) #37
Site Description
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.  



Current Activities
- ERRS continues to focus on decontaminating exterior solid surfaces and drainage trenches.  This is being accomplished through scraping with hand tools and cleaning with hot water pressure washers.  Solid waste is being drummed and decon water is being consolidated in T-539 and T-480.  

-ERRS continues using high pressure steam supplied from a portable boiler system to clean piping and process equipment.  Contents of lines and steam condensate are being drummed and staged on site until disposal arrangements are made.

-To date, approximately 330 drums have been generated through the pad and line clearing operation. Arrangements for waste disposal is ongoing.

- START periodically samples storm water in the drainage system to track the progress of decontamination.

-   ERRS completed removal of materials from T-641 and 801 during this reporting period.  There are approximately 8 tanks and vessels on site which still need to be addressed including consolidation and waste water tanks.  

- Approximately 836 waste drums and 4 rolloffs are currently staged on site. Transportation and disposal for drums, and liquids are currently being arranged.

-Approximately 250 drums of waste, 20 cubic yard boxes of solidified flyash and 20,000 gal of bulk liquid were shipped off site for disposal during this reporting period.  To date, approximately 1,388,404 gallons of material have been removed from the site.  

- ERRS sampled insulation for asbestos on various tanks and lines which may need to be cut open or otherwise disturbed to gain access or to install fittings for line steaming.  Sampling was conducted for worker protection.

-ERRS subcontractor conducted removal of asbestos containing pipe wrap in areas where pipe wrap may be disturbed due to cleanup activities.  This material was transported off site for disposal.

- ERRS continued to operate the waste water treatment plant WWTP under procedures approved by the OSC.  Treated waste water is being discharged into Stoney Creek.  START is routinely monitoring the discharge pH to be within the limits stated under the facilities previous NPDES permit.  ERRS is routinely sampling the discharge for other parameters set forth under the previous NPDES contract.  

- ERRS treated water in T-190 with hydrochloric acid solution and discharged water into the waste water treatment plant (WWTP). START monitored pH to ensure that water is within the limits set forth by the previous NPDES permit.  Samples were collected of water prior to discharge.  Analytical results indicate that concentrations of contaminants were below previous NPDES standards,  However, a carbon filter was used to remove odor and turbidity from the water. T-190 is now empty.  

- START contractors are performing air monitoring to ensure worker safety while performing tank entries and other activities that may present risk for worker exposure.


Planned Removal Actions
- Complete removal of chemicals from tanks, piping, and process equipment.  
- Decontaminate site drainage system and solid surfaces.
- Remove contaminated surface soil by rail loading areas.  
- Dispose of and/ or treat wastes staged on site.
 
Disposition Of Wastes
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).
