1.1.1 Incident Category
Time Critical Removal Action at an abandoned metal plating/polishing shop that was partially destroyed in a fire on May 16, 2012. Initial Emergency Response Actions are detailed in Pollution Report (POLREP) 1.
1.1.2 Site Description
Large abandoned brick building with unobstructed access due to a partially demolished building.
1.1.2.1 Location
The building is located at 1678 Oakwood (aka 1820 Clinton, corner of Oakwood and Clinton) in Toledo, Lucas County, OH 43607.
1.1.2.2 Description of Threat
Unobstructed access to drums, totes and tanks of chemicals and fire damaged totes leaking chemicals to the loading dock.
1.1.3 Preliminary Removal Assessment/Removal Site Inspection Results
EPA mobilized the Superfund Technical Assessment and Response Team (START) to complete a Site Assessment on June 13, 2012. Assessment activities documented hazardous or unknown waste in 52 drums, 3 above ground storage tanks (ASTs), 1 underground storage tank (UST), 1 vat, and numerous small containers inside the former manufacturing building. Many containers were in poor or damaged condition and exposed to the elements from the damaged and deteriorating condition of the former manufacturing building.

2.1.1 Narrative
2.1.2 Response Actions to Date
From November 21-February 27, 2014, EPA received laboratory data and arranged for final disposal at an EPA approved disposal facility. Site security was implemented during all non-manned site hours.
On February 18, 2014, EPA mobilized back to the site to consolidate the remaining waste into DOT shipping containers for disposal and to pump the liquid waste from the underground storage tank (UST). During the time from the previous mobilization, several walls collapsed on-site. Due to the structural instability of the remaining building, it will not be safe to recover the two aboveground storage tanks that were left behind after removing their waste contents. The waste was non-hazardous, however, they were to be removed from the site. The City of Toledo-Division of Environmental Services was informed of the situation and will be sent the laboratory analytical results from the liquid and remaining sludge that shows the material is non-hazardous. While pumping the waste oil from the UST, it was determined that more powerful vacuum equipment would be necessary due to the high viscosity of the liquid. Due to unavailability of appropriate equipment, a remobilization will be necessary to complete the task. Site security was implemented during all non-manned site hours.
On February 27, 2014, EPA mobilized back to the site to perform final disposal of remaining waste oil liquid from the UST.
2.1.3 Enforcement Activities, Identity of Potentially Responsible Parties (PRPs)
The enforcement team will work to identify the owner and/or operator of the site. On September 23, 2013, site access was granted via an Administrative Warrant by a Federal Judge.

2.2.1 Anticipated Activities
- Non.
2.2.1.1 Planned Response Activities
- Remove hazardous waste that pose a threat to human health and the environment.
2.2.1.2 Next Steps
- None.
2.2.2 Issues
- The mobilization date in previous POLREPs were changed to May 17, 2012 due to the initial mobilization for site security.
- The current property owners are deceased and the property is in foreclosure. The EPA enforcement team worked with the Department of Justice and the Attorney General's Office-Toledo to obtain access to conduct the Removal Action. On September 23, 2013, site access was granted via an Administrative Warrant by a Federal Judge. On January 30, 2014, EPA obtained a second Administrative Warrant from the Federal Judge. The reason for the second Warrant was the delay in the project due to extreme weather conditions during the winter, which delayed disposal and postponed the schedule.
