On-Scene Coordinator - Dominic Ventura 5/2/2013
Time-Critical - Removal Action Pollution Report (POLREP) #44
Start Date: 4/19/2007 Completion Date: 5/2/2013
Pollution Report (POLREP) #44
Site Description
The site is located in a mixed industrial and residential area of Trainer, Delaware County, Pennsylvania. The site includes a chemical manufacturing facility consisting of about 200 tanks, several buildings, a laboratory, a wastewater treatment facility, and many processing vessels, equipment items, systems, and pipelines which were used in or are related to the chemical manufacturing processes. Chemicals at the facility included oleum, methanol, heptane, mineral spirits, sulfuric acid, and others including many mixtures.  On April 12, 2007, the OSC was notified by EPA Region III staff that the facility was in bankruptcy court and that chemical substances remained at the facility which may pose a threat. EPA issued Orders to Stoney Creek Technologies and other companies to remove the inventory at the site in order to reduce the potential threats posed by chemicals.

In October 2008, EPA initiated removal activities at the site since Stoney Creek Technologies and other companies which received orders from EPA had failed to remove the chemical inventory.  EPA removal activities have included: removing chemicals from tanks, equipment, and piping; decontaminating exterior surfaces to prevent migration of chemicals off site via surface runoff; and decontaminating and reconfiguring the site storm sewer system and waste water treatment plant.  All site pesonnel demobilized from the site on December 10, 2012.  All removal activities at the site are now complete.  



Current Activities
EPA START contractors returned to the site on December 18, 2012 to collect samples of storm water discharging to Stoney Creek.  The purpose of the sampling was to ensure that storm water discharging from the site through the recently cleaned storm sewer system does not contain site related contaminants at concentrations that pose a threat to Human Health or Stoney Creek.  Sample analytical results indicate that site related contaminants were either not detected in the storm water samples or were detected at concentrations less than applicable standards.  START completed a report summarizing stormwater sampling activities at the site.

The OSC attended an Environmental Action Committee meeting on April 4, 2012 at Trainer Borough Hall to inform the committee and community on the completion of removal activities at the site and to provide an update on the status of site conditions.  



Planned Removal Actions
The removal action is complete.  

Key Issues
-EPA's Site Assessment program has conducted an assessment at the site to determine whether the site is eligible for long term cleanup under EPA's Remedial Program.  A final determination has not been made at the time of this Polrep.  

-EPA's Removal Program plans to return to the site in the future to conduct followup assessments to ensure that the removal action continues to be protective of human health and the environment.  
 
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).
