Site Description
See initial POLREP.

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.
• ERRS initiated activities to remove the outdoor electrical substation in order to investigate for PCBs.  These activities including building an earthen ramp for machine access and cutting the supports.
• 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 11, 2009, START collected surface samples for PCB extent of contamination investigation.  Twelve roll-off boxes (Approximately 180 tons) of ACWM debris left site for disposal.

On Tuesday, May 12, 2009 ERRS tested various wetting agents to be used on the silica sand inside the building during removal activities.  The most cost effective and effiecient was found to be water applied at low pressure. The water will be used to keep dust levels down inside the building during removal activities.  Twelve roll-off boxes (Approximately 182 tons) of ACWM debris left site for disposal.

On Wednesday, May 13, 2009 final clearance samples were collected from one area remediated of ACWM.  ERRS and START located fill ports for an underground storage tank.  Attempts to locate the UST will be made after the ACWM debris removal is complete.  Eleven roll-off boxes (Approximately 190 tons) of ACWM debris left site for disposal.

On Thursday, May 14, 2009 all site work was suspended due to heavy winds and thunderstorms coming into the area.

On Friday, May 11, 2009 ERRS developed waste streams for the approximately 200 containers (5 gallon pails, 55 gallon drums, and 250 gallon totes) and the approximately 200 smaller containers on site.  Eleven roll-off boxes (Approximately 190 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.

Disposition Of Wastes
A total of 2,608 tons of ACWM debris went to Minerva Landfill, Waynseburg, Ohio for disposal.

A total of 722 tons of ACWM debris went to American Landfill, Waynesburg, Ohio for disposal.
