The facility was known to use chromated copper arsenate (CCA) to treat fence lumber and mine lumber. Arsenic contamination has been determined as the main contaminant of concern, and an Action Memorandum has been approved for the removal of arsenic contaminated soils, sediments and residual CCA product in the pressure vessels and tanks on site.
All contaminated soils have been transported and disposed of off-site. The excavated areas have been regraded, reseeded and restored, along with the area of the concrete pad that was dismantled to allow access to contaminated soils.
All hazardous concrete, metal and wood debris, along with spent PPE, has been transported from the site for disposal.
Approximately 12,000 gallons of wastewater generated during removal action activities is being loaded for disposal on August 21st.
Three roll-off containers, 36 fifty-five gallon drums, and non-haz concrete generated from removal action activities are scheduled to be transported for disposal during the week of August 25th.
The site trailer is expected to be demobed on Friday August 22nd.
EPA has been asked to participate in a meeting with the Mineral County WV Commissioners Office on August 26th. The purpose of this meeting is to bring the County up to date on the removal action, establish a path forward, and to offer recommendations to the county related to potential future use of the facility site.
Representatives of WVDEP's RCRA Program have also been invited to this meeting.
The removal action is expected to be completed during the week of August 25th, and all remaining personnel and equipment will be demobed at this time.
