2.1.1 Narrative
US EPA has mobilized ERRS and START contractors to assist with the removal of lead impacted soils found at several residential properties.
2.1.2 Response Actions to Date
On October 27, 2011, US EPA mobilized ERRS and START contractors to the site to begin lead removal and residential property restoration activities.
START has obtained 11 completed access agreements for lead removal purposes.
START collected a representative sample from the low-level lead impacted soil stockpile.
A soil staging area has been established in order to stockpile low-level lead impacted soil and clean backfill.
A hand-held X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) field instrument is utilized to determine the presence and extent on lead impacted soil located in the residential properties. The USEPA residential cleanup standard of 400 ppm will be used for all properties associate with this removal action.
The soil staging area was restored and plans have been made to hydro-seed this area in the Spring of 2012.
A total of eight properties were remediated as part of this removal effort. Two property owners rescinded access. Therefore, those two properties were not remediated.

2.2 Planning Section
|
|
|
|
US EPA Emergency Response and Removals Branch plans to remove lead from 10 residential properties in the fall of 2011.
2.2.1 Anticipated Activities
USEPA and ERRS will return in the Spring of 2012 to top-dress/re-grade any backfill area prior to hydro-seeding the eight properties remediated during this current removal effort. After hydro-seeding activities are completed, the eight affected property owners will assume all grass maintenance requirements henceforth. START will prepare official “clean letters” for OSC signature and will mail such to the eight affected homeowners.
2.2.1.1 Planned Response Activities
No additional response activities are planned by USEPA Region 5, Emergency Response and Removals Branch.
Because the site has been added to the National Priorities List, future clean-up of additional residential properties would most likely be performed by USEPA Region 5, Remedial Branch.
2.2.1.2 Next Steps
All USEPA staff along with START and ERRS contractors have demobilized from the site. However, USEPA and ERRS personnel will return in the Spring of 2012 to top dress/re-grade backfill areas and apply hydro-seed in order to re-establish a grass cover. After hydro-seeding takes place, residential property owners will assume watering and maintenance care of re-established grass cover.
2.2.2 Issues
Seasonal wet weather conditions has impacted the ERRS contractors’ ability to provide rapid backfill/restoration of select properties thus impacting the overall project schedule. Furthermore, the on-set of winter weather temperatures will require ERRS to demobilize at this time and return in the Spring of 2012 to re-grade backfill areas requiring such and place hydro-seed onto the topsoil for vegetative cover purposes.
