The ERRS contractor continued to treat, discharge and record the on-site treated water discharge to the Front Street Sanitary sewer.  Approximately  88,554 gallons of treated water was discharged to the City of Toledo sewer system.

On April 10, the EPA met with a new RP consultant to review the status of the site.  The new RP consultant collected water samples from various locations including the on-site pits and the off-site sewer manholes.  The US Coast Guard-Atlantic Strike Team (USCG-AST) was on-site to assist with cost documentation and contractor oversight.  The BOA contractor addressed dewatering of the site through the use of vacuum trucks at various locations around the site.  Locations included the storm sewer system that runs parallel to the ODOT construction site for I-280; within the mass excavation; and on-site in the tank farm.  The BOA contractor and the USEPA START representatives monitored air emissions along the boundary of the property.  The ERRS contractor continued to treat, discharge and record the on-site treated water.  No water was discharged from the site.

Planned Removal Actions
Install a duel (water and gas) Vapor Recovery System along the ODOT storm sewer system both north and south of the mass excavation.

Continue collection and removal of on-site liquids contaminated with petroleum.

Start on-site remediation activities which will include surface soil removal, removal of the temporary clay barrier wall, removal of the contaminated dike wall along the east side of the tank farm,  and air monitoring during removal actions.


Next Steps
- The BOA contractor will continue storm water management/collection and sewer monitoring activities.

- The ERRS contractor will continue to treat and discharge water collected on-site in the waste water treatment system.

- The ERRS contractor will continue to develop Workplans for on-site removal actions and the off-site soil/vapor recovery system.
