1.1.1 Incident Category
1.1.2 Site Description
Paw Paw Plating started primarily as a custom electroplating operation in the 1950’s and stopped operations in December 2009. The site is about 1.8 acres, is not fenced and contains an abandoned building with chemicals and other hazardous materials. The site is located at 139 Commercial Ave., Paw Paw, Michigan. Cadmium, chromium, silver, gold, nickel, copper and cyanide were used in the electroplating process. The company also performed metal processing such as machining, polishing and painting which included the use of Trichlorethylene (TCE).
There are a variety of abandoned hazardous materials in the building including plating baths containing heavy metals, drums of plating feed stocks, drums of hazardous waste, and a number of different size containers with a wide variety of chemical compounds. Plating solutions include but are not limited to cyanide and chromium. The presence of containers, drums and vats without secondary containment could result in contaminating soil and ground water, and pose a threat to nearby residents and businesses if a fire was to occur.
Past investigation activities by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Environment indicated that contaminants were released into the storm sewer that discharges directly in to the Paw Paw River and also were discovered in a municipal water well that served the village of Paw Paw . Halogenated volatile organic compound (HVOCs) contamination, including TCE was identified in ground water.
1.1.2.1 Location
Paw Paw Plating located at 139 Commercial Avenue in Paw Paw, Van Buren County, Michigan 49079.
1.1.2.2 Description of Threat
Cyanides, Acids, Bases, Oxidizers, Toxics, Heavy Metals

2.1.1 Narrative
2.1.2 Response Actions to Date
Refer to earlier POLREPS for past response activities.
Air monitoring is conducted daily on site. START maintains 4 AreaRAEs and 1 Multi-RAE while work is being conducted.
During this reporting period, ERRS completed the removal of the solids located in the vaults along the water treatment line. The plating room and the paint room were both power washed. The nickel solution was removed off site and went off for recycling to Envirite of Illinois. The remaining drummed waste was shipped off site for disposal on June 14.
ERRS, START, and EPA demobilized from the site on June 3, 2011. The trailers were demobilized from the site the week of June 6, 2011. All remaining waste was shipped off site as of June 14, 2011.
US EPA is working with MDEQ regarding future actions that may be taken on site. The MDEQ intends to demolish the building in the spring of 2012. US EPA and MDEQ are reviewing the analytical results from the subsurface sampling.
2.1.3 Enforcement Activities, Identity of Potentially Responsible Parties (PRPs)
Paw Paw Plating went out of the business when the owner died in December 2009. The estate for the deceased owner does not have the funds to conduct the clean up.

2.2.1 Anticipated Activities
MDEQ was awarded a grant to remove the plating shop building at Paw Paw Plating. Based on the subsurface sampling conducted by US EPA during the removal, additional subsurface work may be required.
MDEQ is planning to demolish the structure in the spring of 2012.
2.2.1.1 Planned Response Activities
Following the demolition of the structure, US EPA anticipates conducting additional subsurface sampling. Preliminary sampling conducted revealed contamination in the area of the plating room. A limited excavation is tentatively planned for 2012.
