On-Scene Coordinator - Richard Rupert 9/28/2009
Time-Critical - Removal Action Pollution Report (POLREP) #2
Completion Date: 5/7/2009
Pollution Report (POLREP) #2
Site Description
The Site is a former scrap metal facility located in a mix of industrial and residential areas partially bordered by wetlands and a tributary to Chesapeake Bay.  The Site is contaminated with numerous hazardous substances, with the foremost being polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and lead.

Current Activities
While the Site is moving through the NPL process, it is expected that the Remedial Program will continue to monitor and surveil the Site to determine if migration of contamination and the immediate threat of significant release presents an unreasonable risk.  If the threat of  significant release is observed, an immediate action may be taken to further stabilize or remediate the Site.

Planned Removal Actions
None presently planned: however, if the threat of significant release is observed, an immediate action may be taken to further stabilize or remediate the Site.

Next Steps
Monitor and surveil the Site while the NPL process continues.

Key Issues
Monitor Site to verify security measures continue in-place and that no erosion, which may lead to significant release of hazardous substances, is occurring.
