On July 9, 2009, EPA issued a Unilateral Order to Cooper Industries, a former owner of the property at the Lin Electric Site. The Order requested that the Company complete the disposal of the waste materials accumulated and remaining at the Site. On July 17, 2009, the Company notified EPA that, as it previously verbally discussed with EPA, the Company intended to comply with the Order. The Company is complying with the Order and is now scheduling the removal of the waste maerials
The ERRS contractor was demobilized from the Site by July 31, 2009. Cooper Industries, a former owner of the property, has taken over responsibility for disposal of waste materials accumulated during the removal that remain at the site.
Final validated analytical results were received for a shallow groundwater sample collected near the degreaser vault and Area 1d sump (in the northwest corner of the Site) on 6/24/09. The results indicate the presence of several halogenated organic compounds in groundwater, including: trichloroethene (74 micrograms per liter [ug/L]); vinyl chloride (1.6 ug/L); cis-1,2-dichloroethene (28 ug/L); and tetrachloroethene (1.3 ug/L). Analytical results for PCB congeners analysis of the groundwater is pending.
Analytical results are also pending for stormwater samples collected on 6/29/09 for PCB congeners analysis and the final concrete core samples collected on 6/27/09 and 6/29/09 for PCB aroclors analysis.
Cooper Industries has assumed responsibility for security of the waste materials on the Site and is now verifying compliance of the disposal facilities it proposes to use to dispose of the waste.
Cooper Industries, a Potentially Responsible Party (PRP), has agreed to take responsibility for disposing the wastes off Site.
