Chrome Plating is located at 5491 Powder Springs Road, Austell, Georgia. On September 24, 2009, this area experienced high flood waters reaching the roof of the facility as evidenced by water marks and a drum on the roof of the building. Sweetwater Creek is adjacent to the property. The site includes two open warehouses and an office trailer, which were severely damaged by the flood. Outside of the warehouses there are two concrete pits, one circular and one rectangular, both containing liquid. These pits are believed to be part of the facility’s waste water treatment system.
START and ERRS completed the construction of the staging area within the 'Painting' room. START completed sampling all containers for HAZCAT and completed profile sampling for disposal.
ERRS cleared all debris from the main warehouse building. ERRS also started pumping and bulking all liquid to Baker tanks, including liquids from the flocking system and the remain materials from the Vat.
START will take composite sediment and soil samples in the drainage pathways to determine if any additional assessment or removals will be require on site once stabilization is complete.
ERRS will continue bulking liquids into Baker tanks
Operations will continue at 0700 on 26OCT2009
