2.1.1 Narrative
For the period from October 18-31, 2014 EPA continued shipping of waste material off site.
2.1.2 Response Actions to Date
On Monday, October 20, 2014, 8 loads (~217 tons) of hazardous solids was transported off site for treatment at the EQ Treatment Facility in Canton, Ohio. ERRS continued processing and loading scrap metal for recycling. 3 loads (~19 tons) of scrap metal were transported off site for recycling at the PSC Metals, Inc. facility in Canton, Ohio. START continued air monitoring around the perimeter of the Covered Shed.
A contractor for the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) was on site to inquire about the status of the site and take pictures. The proposed State Route 30 will bisect the northern portion of the site.
On Tuesday, October 21, 2014, 8 loads (~211 tons) of hazardous solids was transported off site for treatment at the EQ Treatment Facility in Canton, Ohio. ERRS continued processing and loading scrap metal for recycling. 2 loads (~16 tons) of scrap metal were transported off site for recycling at the PSC Metals, Inc. facility in Canton, Ohio. START continued air monitoring around the perimeter of the Covered Shed.
On Wednesday, October 22, 2014, 8 loads (~225 tons) of hazardous solids was transported off site for treatment at the EQ Treatment Facility in Canton, Ohio. ERRS continued processing and loading scrap metal for recycling. START continued air monitoring around the perimeter of the Covered Shed.
On Thursday, October 23, 2014, 8 loads (~234 tons) of hazardous solids was transported off site for treatment at the EQ Treatment Facility in Canton, Ohio. ERRS conducted a clean-up of the recently discovered asbestos contaminated building filler material at the north end of the partially demolished kiln building. ERRS was tasked to remove unsafe portions of the partially demolished kiln building. In the process of rendering unsafe portions of the partially demolished kiln building safe, more of the building was demolished than planned. During this process, additional suspect ACM was discovered. The demolition debris generated from this activity will be transported and disposed as friable ACM. START continued air monitoring around the perimeter of the Covered Shed.
On Friday, October 24, 2014, 8 loads (~234 tons) of hazardous solids was transported off site for treatment at the EQ Treatment Facility in Canton, Ohio. The friable ACWM generated from the partially demolished kiln building was loaded into one truck (~13 tons) and transported off site for disposal at the American Landfill in Waynesburg, Ohio. The northern portion of the Lean-to, located on the west perimeter of the former asbestos exclusion zone, was demolished in order to access additional debris for disposal. START conducted metals screening of the soil on site that will be used to backfill the pits and trenches uncovered during the asbestos removal activities. ERRS began moving backfill material from a stockpile of soil on site to the pits and trenches of the former asbestos exclusion zone. START continued air monitoring around the perimeter of the Covered Shed.
No work scheduled for Saturday or Sunday
