Current Activities
Daily Activities

• ERRS continued the removal of the Asbestos-Containing Waste Materials (ACWM) from the fire damaged portion of the building.
• ERRS continued loading roll-off boxes containing Asbestos-Containing Waste Materials for disposal off-site.
• ERRS continued the collection of drums and totes and staged them on the concrete pad on the south portion of the Site for hazardous waste characterization.
• START performed daily collection of perimeter air samples for asbestos and monitored the perimeter for total dust readings.  In addition, START inspected different areas of the building and collected bulk samples as necessary for asbestos identification.
• Perimeter air monitoring results for total dust did not exceed the sites action levels.  Air sampling results for asbestos that were received and were all below the site’s action levels for total fibers.

On Monday, May 4, 2009, Twelve roll-off boxes (Approximately 186 tons) of ACWM debris left site for disposal.

On Tuesday, May 5, 2009, eight samples of the sand material inside the building and three samples from debris material inside the burned out portion of the building near a transformer,damaged in the fire, were collected to be analyzed for PCBs.  ERRS began washing down the floor of the cleaned areas of the burned down building.  Twelve roll-off boxes (Approximately 180 tons) of ACWM debris left site for disposal.

On Wednesday, May 6, 2009, 14 surface samples were collected form around the outside transformer pad for PCB analysis.  Two roll-off boxes (Approximately 31 tons) of ACWM debris left site for disposal.  Transportation and disposal of waste was temporarily suspended in order for ERRS to rework the load out area.

On Thursday, May 7, 2009, twelve roll-off boxes (Approximately 163 tons) of ACWM debris left site for disposal.

On Friday, May 8, 2009, twelve roll-off boxes (Approximately 164 tons) of ACWM debris left site for disposal.

Planned Removal Actions
-- Continue removal of asbestos contaminated debris from the fire damaged portion of the building(total estimated 7,500 tons).

-- Perform extent of contamination investigation of PCB contaminated soil from leaking transformers.

-- Initiate removal of PCB contaminated soil (total estimated 3,000 tons).

-- Consolidate, sample, perform hazardous categorization and off-site disposal of all drums and containers on the site (estimated 100 drums, 100 totes and misc small containers).

-- Remove and dispose of PCB contaminated water from the pits associated with the building.

-- Remove transformers containing PCB oil.

-- Remove and dispose of silica quartz dust/sand, as necessary.

Key Issues
-- Residents are located directly across the street from the site. As such, daily perimeter air samples for asbestos will be collected during all asbestos related work.
