Current Activities
1. Current Situation

U.S. EPA contractors continue to stage and prepare drums for disposal. Drums, vats and tanks continue to be drained and rinsed for disposal. Aboveground storage tanks (ASTs) and associated piping continue to be inspected and drained of all materials. This reporting period, a total of 9,945 gallons of flammable liquids and 87 drums were sent off site for disposal at Petro-Chem Processing, Inc.

Progress to date:
Drums inventoried/staged* - 3614
Drums sampled* - 3208
Drums hazcatted* - 3208
Small container collection/lab-packed - 6258
Vats/Totes/Tanks inventoried/sampled - 29
Vats/Totes/Tanks hazcatted - 29

(* Not all drums were sampled and/or hazcatted)

2. Removal Activities to Date

During the period of April 18 to April 23, 2005, EPA, ERRS and START continued staging and consolidating drums of material and bulking drums for disposal. AST's and associated piping were drained of material. Totes and vats were cleaned in preparation for disposal and 20 were sent of site for disposal.

Planned Removal Actions
• Stage and dispose of all 55-gallon drums and small containers.
• Sample, drain, rinse and render unusable all AST's, tanks, vats, totes and process vessels.
• Rinse and dispose of all empty drums.
• Excavate contaminated soils.
• Transport all wastes off site to a CERCLA compliant facility.
