1.1.1 Incident Category
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) Incident Category: Recycling - Used oil and drums
1.1.2 Site Description
All Pro Scrap is a recycler of used oil and drums. The facility receives used vehicle oil filters and crushed drums, many of which previously contained hazardous waste. The oil filters and drums are processed through a shredder. A pit below the shredder captures oil and liquid waste. Metal and recovered oil are sent off-site for recycling. Liquid waste that cannot be recycled is disposed of by Future Environmental. Future Environmental reportedly disposes of 2,000 gallons of waste per week. Fluff and sludge are disposed of at Southside Landfill.
1.1.2.1 Location
The facility is located at 1905 Lawton Avenue in Indianapolis, Marion County, Indiana, 46203. The facility is approximately 1.5 miles southeast of downtown Indianapolis. Site coordinates are 39.7429104 degrees north latitude and 86.1270614 degrees west longitude.
The site is located in a mixed-use area that includes industrial and residential properties. Residences are located north of the facility. Industrial properties are located to the east, west, and south.
Pleasant Run, a major drainage for Marion County, is approximately 1/3 mile north of the site. Run-off from the site enters the combined sewer overflow (CSO). During high flow, the sewers flow north and west to outfalls on Pleasant Run. Pleasant Run flows into the White River approximately two miles from the outfall.
1.1.2.2 Description of Threat
On December 18, 2013, the shredder caught fire (National Response Center [NRC #1068922]). The fire destroyed the shredder building and caused the release of oil and hazardous substances. Oily waste and fire-suppression water flowed off-site and into a quonset hut on a property to the east. Waste also flowed north into roadways, alleys, and residential properties. Waste impacted at least five residential properties and a neighboring industrial property. Wastewater and fire-suppression water entered nearby sewer drains. It is believed that oily waste flowed to the sewage treatment plant because there had not been significant precipitation during and prior to the fire. The Marion County Public Health Department (MCPHD) alerted the sewer utility about a potential slug of oily waste that could impact the sewage treatment plant.

2.1.1 Narrative
MCPHD and the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) responded to the fire on December 18, 2013. On December 20th, MCPHD and IDEM requested assistance from the EPA. EPA and its contractors responded to the site on December 20th.
2.1.2 Response Actions to Date
All Pro Scrap and its consultant Keramida submitted the results from drilling activities that were conducted in January 2014. The following is a summary of analytical results that exceeded IDEM's screening levels for direct contact soil exposure at residential properties. IDEM's screening levels were used as Applicable or Relevant and Appropriate Requirements (ARAR).

Keramida also collected background samples. It has been documented that arsenic occurs naturally at elevated concentrations in Indiana. Additionally, Keramida believed that asphalt or dust suppression using diesel could have resulted in elevated concentratiosn of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH).
Keramida processed the background results through EPA's ProUCL software. The software provides numerous and varied statistical methods and graphical tools to address environmental sampling and statistical issues. It is used to establish background levels, determine outliers in data sets, and compare background and site sample data sets for site evaluation and risk assessment.
Based on the results of the drilling, background investigation, and ProUCL analysis, EPA determined that the following locations required excavation to a depth of 0.5 feet: KB-1, KB-2, KB-3, KB-4, KB-9, KB-13, KB-21, and KB-24.
March 24 through 26, 2014, All Pro Scrap's contractors excavated the required locations. They collected confirmation samples when excavation was complete, and backfilled excavated locations with gravel.
