2.1.2 Response Actions to Date
On June 20, 2011, AVS hauled off 14 loads (76,500 gal) of oily water from the northeast area and primary separator pit to United Water’s facility in Cincinnati, OH.
-Approximately 2.5” of rain fell over the weekend, an additional 2.5” of rain during the morning.
-AVS pumped 80,000+ gal of water from the northeast area into the four frac tanks.
-Focus Contracting (WSP subcontractor) was on site briefly to assess the Tank 51 containment situation.
-Trihydro has Site Manager Tim Gunn and Trihydro Site Supervisor Greg Johnson on site this week.
On June 21, 2011, AVS hauled off 22 loads (130,500 gal) of oily water from the northeast area and two frac tanks to United Water’s facility in Cincinnati, OH.
-AVS pumped out two of their four frac tanks in order to be able to clean them.
· These two frac tanks were pressure washed and will be used for raw water (pretreatment) storage for the granular activated carbon (GAC) system.
-Per Kristen Heitman at Providence Wildlife, of the 14 ducklings rescued from the site, 8 have survived and are thriving.
-Site personnel consult K. Heitman on how to address the bird situation in the solids building. Since birds appear to be entering the building through oversized pipe holes on the south end of the solids building, these acess points may need to be blocked. K. Heitman also recommends removing the birds nests if they do not contain offspring.
On June 22, 2011, AVS hauled off 21 loads (121,804 gal) of oily water from the northeast area and two frac tanks to United Water’s facility in Cincinnati, OH and Clean Water’s facility in Dayton, OH.
-AVS pumped out their two remaining frac tanks in order to be able to clean them.
· These two frac tanks were pressure washed, cleaned thoroughly with confined space entry, and will be used for treated water storage for sampling and prior to discharge.
-OSC Verneta Simon conducted a site meeting including U.S. EPA, START, Trihydro , Heritage, and Asphalt Materials, Inc. (AMI) personnel to address the AMI-ESI stormwater issue.
· AMI agreed to an interim action proposed by U.S. EPA/START of building up the existing berm in the disputed parcel.
-The berm will be built up approximately 1-ft high using sandbags and poly sheeting.
-Per AMI, the berm will be constructed by end of business on June 24, 2011.
-AMI pumping out and managing the water in this area was contingent on Trihydro/AVS pumping out the existing water, containing comingled ESI-AVS stormwater, prior.
-AVS pumped out the water in the disputed parcel area (approximately 12,000 gal) into the center solidification pit.
-Trihydro/AVS had a plumber on site to inspect the Site backflow preventers.
-Trihydro/AVS cemented the pig in the 9” pipeline discharging into the manway adjacent to the control building to prevent future discharge to the City of Indianapolis sanitary sewer.

On June 23, 2011, AVS hauled off 19 loads (107,504 gal) of oily water from the northeast area, east containment, primary separator pit, and unloading building to United Water’s facility in Cincinnati, OH and Clean Water’s facility in Dayton, OH.
-AVS pumped out approximately 3,500 gal of standing water from the unloading building, which was thought to be due to overland flow during the heavy rain events earlier in the week.
-AVS pumped northeast area water back into the two cleaned raw water frac tanks.
-AMI began working on the interim action of building up the existing berm in the disputed parcel.
· AMI completed approximately 75% of the 1-ft high berm addition using large sandbags and poly sheeting.
-Compton Mechanical Services, Inc. (CMSI) was on site to inspect the Site backflow preventers provided a status update.
· 3 fire suppression service backflow preventers:
-1 out of service;
-2 need new meters installed prior to reinspection.
· 9 domestic service backflow preventers:
-2 compromised;
-1 mislabeled with a bad ID from the City of Indianapolis;
-2 not in service & not requiring further action by the City of Indianapolis;
-4 passed inspection.
-Trihydro briefly ran the GAC system in order to sample the treated effluent from the northeast area water in the raw water frac tanks.
-Trihydro submitted the water sample NEArea-GAC,062311 for discharge parameter analysis.
-Focus pumped Tank 51 stormwater to the City sanitary sewer.
· Discharge event information:
-Initial Time: 1640; Initial Reading: 0 gal
-Final Time: 2130; Final Reading: 39,257 gal
