1.1.1 Incident Category
Emergency Response/Time Critical Removal
1.1.2 Site Description
The TOCON Property Asbestos site is located in Goshen, Elkhart County, Indiana. The site originally operated by Johnson Controls as a manufacturing plant for heating systems, as well as a research and development facility. In 2006, before buildings on site were demolished, the main plant building was utilized as an assembly plant for component equipment, tooling machinery, and stamp equipment, all used in building heating systems. Many of the building structures have been previously demolished. The only remnants of the former TOCON buildings were a grouping of foundations. Piles of bricks, wood, metal, and other debris, including asbestos containing materials, were located around the Site.
1.1.2.1 Location
1302 East Monroe Street, Goshen, Elkhart County, IN
1.1.2.2 Description of Threat
Bulk samples collected from debris piles at the site by KERAMIDA in Feb 2016 contain as high as 70% asbestos (chrysotile). In Feb 2016, Tetra Tech START collected nineteen bulk demolition debris samples and 1 water sample in the area around the former TOCON building, results showed friable asbestos up to 15%. Goshen High school and residential areas are located next to or near the site. In addition, the Site has a history of visitors and trespassing continues to occur.
