1.1.1 Incident Category
Abandoned Plating Shop DTSC ERA and EPA CERCLA Funded Removal Action
1.1.2 Site Description
See POLREP No. 1. The plating line and water treatment system have been removed from the building. The plating area has been decontaminated. The concrete floor where the plating line was is highly degraded and leaching chromic acid and other plating solutions
1.1.2.1 Location
See POLREP No. 1 for more information. The site is located at 130 W. Mindanao Ave., Rialto, San Bernardino Co., CA.
1.1.2.2 Description of Threat
See POLREP No. 1. All hazardous substances have been removed from the site and transported to CERCLA Off-Site approved facilities.
1.1.3 Preliminary Removal Assessment/Removal Site Inspection Results
See POLREP No. 1.
On August 27, 2013, the START contractor collected four sub slab surface soil samples. The slab was cored by a subcontractor to the ERRS contractor. During the coring of the slab, two of the concrete cores completely disintegrated due to the highly degraded nature of the concrete floor. The core from the sample next to the chromic acid black showed evidence of chromic acid staining from the surface of the core all the way to the bottom of the slab. The other two concrete cores in the plating line (disintegrated) both had a yellowish green discoloration of the concrete indicative of plating solution contamination. The soil beneath the slab in the plating lines also had the same tint on the surface. The samples were submitted to a START BOA lab for total, TTLC and STLC metals analysis on a standard turnaround.
