1.1.2 Site Description
1.1.2.1 Location
The Site is located at 170 E 131st St, Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, OH. The Site is located in an industrial/commercial/warehouse area in Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio. The Site is bordered to the north by Kirby Avenue, Coit Road, and industrial properties; to the east by E 131st Street and industrial properties; to the south by Pull A Part, and to the west by Kirby Avenue and industrial properties.
1.1.2.2 Description of Threat
A tenant filled the Site building with municipal waste. Upon notification that the municipal waste had to be removed from the building, the tenant and/or the tenant’s contractors began demolishing the building to access and remove the waste. No demolition permit was granted prior to the start of demolition activities at the Site. In addition, there is no evidence that asbestos abatement activities were conducted prior to the start of demolition activities at the Site. On August 17, 2012, the Ohio EPA collected bulk material samples from the demolition debris piles, which indicated asbestos-containing materials (ACM) are present in the debris piles at concentrations up to 65% Chrysotile, 20% Amosite, and 10% Crocidolite. The main concern is that the ACM is friable and asbestos fibers are being released into the air and possibly migrating off site. Another concern is that trespassers onto the Site will come into contact with the ACM, disturb the materials, and cause further releases into the air.

2.1.1 Narrative
As a result of the potential for airborne asbestos fibers to migrate off site, the City of Cleveland referred the Site to the U.S. EPA. The City of Cleveland Commissioner of Air Quality placed a Sealing Order on the Site prohibiting the entry onto the Site or occupancy of the Site by unauthorized persons. On August 31, 2012, U.S. EPA mobilized its ERRS and START contractors to the Site to conduct emergency response activities, including perimeter air sampling for asbestos and securing the perimeter of the Site from unauthorized entry.
The Responsible Parties failed to comply with numerous Court Orders from the City of Cleveland to address contamination on the property. EPA issued a Unilateral Order to the PRPs on June 28, 2013. PRPs failed to respond to the UAO and have not complied with the Order.

2.2.1 Anticipated Activities
Completed shipping C&D with non-friable asbestos off site to clear space to stage waste from inside the building. Waste will need to be moved from inside the building and restaged outside in order to abate deteriorated TSI on pipes exposed to the elements.
2.2.1.1 Planned Response Activities
Begin shipping asbestos contaminated municipal waste from inside the building for off site disposal.
Demobe demo equipment from site.
2.2.1.2 Next Steps
Anticipate completing all site activities by August 30, 2013.
2.2.2 Issues
None.
