1.1.1 Incident Category
The Highland Plating Site was an anodizing, plating and polishing shop. A catastrophic fire occurred at the Site on July 13, 2014, completely destroying the roof and compromising the integrity of the eastern building. The heat from the fire resulted in the failure of several plating line vats, sending their corrosive and caustic solutions into secondary containment that was quickly overwhelmed by the volume of plating chemicals and approximately 1,500,000 gallons of firefighting water with fire suppression chemicals. Significant amounts of runoff containing this mixture of water and chemicals was released from the building and entered the storm drain.
The removal at Highland Plating has been on-going for over a year. The owners of the facility have conducted a series of removals through out this year to remove the hazardous substances threats from the Site. A review of Pollution Reports 1 - 8 will document the history of this site. An annotated chronology on this Site can be found in the documents section of this website. On July 27, 2015, the property has changed ownership. The new property owner (described below) has committed to complete the removal of the hazardous substance threats from the Site. The remaining tasks to be conducted include:
- Removal of any contaminated debris inside the west building;
- Decontamination and fixation using a soil tacifier of the structural materials inside the west building to minimize hazardous waste debris during building demolition;
- Demolition of the west building;
- Removal of the contaminated slab from the east building; and
- Excavation of contaminated soil from the property.
1.1.2 Site Description
See POLREP No. 1 for additional information.
The Site is located at 1001 N. Orange Drive (also has two other addresses: 7045 Romaine Street and 1006 Sycamore Street) Hollywood, Los Angeles County, California. The Site is located in a mixed retail and industrial district known as the Hollywood Media District.
The Site was a 33,000 square foot electro-plating and polishing facility. Highland Plating conducted chrome, nickel, and copper plating and anodizing in three plating lines contained in the eastern-most building, and conducted polishing and gold plating in the western-most building at the Site. The east building that was damaged in the July 13, 2014 fire, has been demolished. The slab and the west building remain. All plating lines, the polishing room and the wastewater treatment areas in the west building have been dismantled and the waste removed off-site.
The polishing and wastewater treatment rooms are both contaminated. The polishing room is coated both on the surface of the structure and the interstitial spaces within the walls will heavy metal laden polishing dust. The wastewater treatment room is contaminated with wastewater treatment solids, a F-Listed RCRA hazardous waste (F006-F009).
The property directly to the north of the site, the Orange Square Business Park, sustained fire related damage due to migration of contaminated fire suppression water from the back of Highland Plating. The fire suppression water resulted in the death of a number trees and soil contamination in a planter box and beneath the parking lot. The contaminated soil was removed starting on August 31, 2015. These removal activities will be discussed under this POLREP.

2.1.1 Narrative
Highland Plating, located in Hollywood, CA was the scene of a fire event on July 13, 2014. The fire destroyed one of two buildings on the premises. The business was in bankruptcy and in the process of shutting down when the fire occurred. The removal has consisted of two main components; 1. removal operations associated with the fire and 2. removal operations associated with the rest of the plating operations. A chronology of removal is located in the documents section of the Highland Plating website.
2.1.2 Response Actions to Date
August 21, 2015
Summary: EPA met with CIM group and their assessment contractor, Citadel to discuss sampling of structural materials.
Personnel: EPA, START, CIM, Citadel
The new property owner, CIM Group retained Citadel to conduct the structural materials assessment. Citadel provided EPA with a Sampling and Analytical Plan on the morning of August 21, 2015.
EPA met with representatives of the CIM group and Citadel to discuss the strategy and sampling plan comments associated with the structural assessment of the building. The areas to be sampled were determined. CIM also directed Citadel to address all remaining waste on the property in their sample planning which included drums and totes of contaminated water and sumps/pits containing contaminated water and sludge.
August 24, 2015
Summary: Assessment of the structural contamination in the West building at Highland Plating.
Personnel: START, CIM, Citadel
Citadel provided EPA with the revised Sampling Plan on July 24, 2015 which was reviewed and approved. Citadel began began to collect the structural materials samples. Samples included cores of building materials such as wood and drywall; bulk polishing dust; water from the clarifiers inside the building, possible asbestos containing materials from the roof and water from the drums and totes left over from the former owner.
The START provided oversight of the sampling.
August 25, 2015
Summary: Completion of the structural materials sampling.
Personnel: Citadel
Citadel completed the sampling of the structural materials of the remaining building.
August 31, 2015
Summary: Removal operations at Orange Square Business Park commenced.
Personnel: EPA, START, DCE, ACT, JAG, Frey Environmental Services (FES)
The removal of contaminated soil at the Orange Square Business Park generated due to contact with fire suppression water the night of the fire began. The Orange Square Business Park is directly north adjacent to Highland Planting. Three areas were designated for excavation based on the sampling (designated as east, middle and west). ACT removed the asphalt covering all three excavation areas They attempted to load the asphalt into the truck for off-site disposal, but were unable to because of because the right type of excavator bucket was not present. . The excavation of the soil did not begin because the excavator was not delivered with the correct bucket. JAG began to set up the air surveillance program which consisted of monitoring for total dust and hydrogen cyanide. JAG required extensive technical assistance from START to set up the equipment. JAG also required extensive assistance from START in the set up of the XRF. Work was conducted at night to minimize the impact to the tenants of the Orange Square Business Park.
September 1, 2015
Summary: Continuation of removal operations at the Orange Square Business Park.
Personnel: EPA, START, DCE, ACT, JAG, FES
The excavation of soil commenced from the East excavation. The soil was tranloaded directly into end dumps. The excavation was approximately 10'x20'x4.5'. The asphalt from last night was also loaded into a dump truck and sent to a recycling facility using a skid steer delivered to the site earlier. JAG and FES conducted confirmation sampling in accordance with the EPA approved sampling plan in the East excavation. The assessment included an XRF survey of the excavation. Work was conducted at night to minimize the impact to the tenants of the Orange Square Business Park.
JAG set up air surveillance including personal air sampling of the JAG personnel entering the excavation to collect the samples. At EPA's direction, START also set up air surveillance. START utilized VIPER to track the data in real time. Work was conducted at night to minimize the impact to the tenants of the Orange Square Business Park.
September 2, 2015
Summary: Continuation of removal operations at the Orange Square Business Park.
Personnel: EPA, START, DCE, ACT, JAG, FES
Excavation of the Middle excavation commenced tonight. The soil was loaded directly into end dumps for off-site disposal. The excavation was approximately 10'x20'x6'. Upon completion of the Middle excavation, the West excavation was commenced. The excavation was not completed because, their was not enough end dump capacity.
JAG set up air surveillance including personal air sampling of the JAG personnel entering the excavation to collect the samples. At EPA's direction, START also set up air surveillance. START utilized VIPER to track the data in real time.
OSC Wise directed JAG not to enter the excavation due to the depth. OSHA requires all excavations over 5' bgs to be shored. JAG sampled from the street level as far as they could reach and with the excavator for the bottom. Work was conducted at night to minimize the impact to the tenants of the Orange Square Business Park.
Analytical data from the excavation of the East excavation documented chromium concentrations in excess of the action level (50 x STLC) on the south wall of the excavation. That wall will have additional soil removed. This confirmation data will be posted on the documents section of the web site.
September 3, 2015
Summary: Continuation of removal operations at the Orange Square Business Park.
Personnel: EPA, START, DCE, ACT, JAG, FES
Excavation of the West excavation was completed. In addition to the soil on the Orange Square Business Park, a small section of the parkway on Romaine Street was to excavated and funded by Farmer's. An area approximately 25'x'3'x2.5 was excavated on the parkway on Romaine Street. JAG and FES conducted confirmation sampling at both locations. The sampling of the West excavation was conducted using the excavator due to the depth of the excavation. Sample data from the East excavation documented contamination above the action level remaining in the hole. ACT began the excavation of this material, but was forced to stop when the
JAG and START conducted air surveillance. Work was conducted at night to minimize the impact to the tenants of the Orange Square Business Park. Work was conducted at night to minimize the impact to the tenants of the Orange Square Business Park.

2.1.3 Enforcement
On July 17, 2014, EPA issued notice to Highland Plating Company and its owners, Max and Drusilla Faeth (“Responsible Owners”), of potential obligations for response actions or costs under CERCLA to address hazardous substances at the Site, which EPA revised on July 24, 2014. Concerned with the lack of progress addressing the Site, EPA provided further instruction and schedules on September 16, 2014. On October 15, 2014, EPA determined that conditions at the Site presented imminent and substantial endangerment to the public health or welfare or the environment, and determined an applicable response action. The Responsible Owners thereafter committed to EPA to conduct the response action properly and promptly. EPA undertook to oversee the Responsible Owners’ voluntary efforts to conduct the response action, and provided the Responsible Owners continued instruction of necessary work and appropriate schedules to conduct the work.
In early July 2015, the Los Angeles City Attorney's Office filed criminal charges against the owners of Highland Plating, Highland Plating Corporation and several former employees of Highland Plating for the discharges of contaminated water from the facility on July 13 and 14, 2014.
On July 27, 2015, the Faeth's sold the property to the CIM Group. The CIM Group has agreed to complete the cleanup. They are currently working with EPA to secure a Bona Fida Perspective Purchaser agreement. CIM Group has created a subsidiary, 1000 N. Orange (LA), LLC to purchase the property and redevelop it.

2.2.1 Anticipated Activities
Farmer's Insurance is currently conducting a removal action at the Orange Square Business Park. Removal activities at the main Highland Plating site is expected to begin late in the week starting September 7, 2015.
2.2.1.1 Planned Response Activities
The property has changed ownership. The new owner, The CIM Group, will be completing the removal action. Removal tasks to be completed include:
- Assessment of structural contamination in the west building;
- Removal of any contaminated debris inside the west building;
- Decontamination and fixation using a soil tacifier of the structural materials inside the west building to minimize hazardous waste debris during building demolition;
- Demolition of the west building;
- Removal of the contaminated slab from the east building; and
- Excavation of contaminated soil from the property.
2.2.2 Issues
- The new owner is seeking BFPP protection from EPA.
- The demand of the land owner at Orange Square Business Park that the California Waste Extraction Test (WET) be conducted during the confirmation sampling is slowing down the completion of the removal.
