2.1.1 Narrative
The Time-Critical Removal Action at the New Lyme Metals Site is addressing the presence of heavy metals and PCBs in the soils by excavating and disposing of the impacted material off site. All asbestos containing materials, drums and compressed gas cylinders will also be removed and disposed of at an off site facility. Air monitoring and sampling is being conducted for the protection of the workers and the public. In addition, well samples have been collected to determine if any of the contaminants on Site have impacted the ground water.
2.1.2 Response Actions to Date
During the period of September 7, 2011 to September 16, 2011, U.S.EPA along with START and ERRS contractors continued removal activities at the Site, these activities included:
- Excavated non-hazardous soils from 40 grids (E'-4, E'-5, E'-6, E'-7, D'-4, D'-5, C'-2, C'-3 C'-4, C'-5, B'-3, B'-4, B'-5, A'-3, A'-4, A'-5, A-3, A-4, A-5, B-3, B-4, B-5, C-3, C-4, C-5, D-3, D-4, D-5, E-3, E-4, E-5, F-3, F-4, F-5, G-3, G-4, G-5, H-3, H-4, H-5)
- Transported 91 loads of non-hazardous soils to American Landfill for disposal
- Transported 16 drums of oily water and 1 drum of chromic acid to EQ for disposal
- Transported 2 compressed gas cylinders to Airgas for reclamation
- Transported 2 compressed gas cylinders to Butler Gas Company for reclamation
- Transported 40 cubic yards of scrap iron and metal to Ashtabula Iron and Metal for recycling
- Continued dewatering excavation areas and pumped storm run-off to an on Site frac-tank for treatment
- Discharged 52,000 gallons of treated contact storm run-off
- Continued dust suppression efforts in load out and excavation areas
- Continued site survey with Ludlum Model 192 gamma radiation detector
- Continued air monitoring for dust and sampling asbestos at site perimeter
- Collected 14 investigatory samples from the creek and swale along the southern edge of the Site
- Collected 75 confirmatory samples from excavated areas
- Confirmation sample results indicate the A-7, D-6, D-7, E-9, F-7 and I-8 need to be re-excavated
2.1.3 Enforcement Activities, Identity of Potentially Responsible Parties (PRPs)
U.S. EPA continues its efforts in identifying viable potentially responsible parties as well as identifying and locating additional locations where the operations took place. Currently, U.S. EPA has identified two possible locations where activities, similar to those at New Lyme Metals, may have taken place.
