2.1.1 Narrative
2.1.2 Response Actions to Date
U.S EPA and EERS contracter ER have staged, sampled and run HazCat figerprinting on 110 containers. The compatible waste groups, corrosive liquids, corrosive solids, acids, combustible liquids, base neutral liquids, base neutral solids are being composited in containers. The corrosive solid material has been staged on a liner and are found in 1 cubic yard super sacs. The solids will be sampled and if results indicated no hazardous constituents, they will be consolidated into the soil pile and disposed of at the landfill.
A request for proposal has been drafted and will be sent out to bid for disposal of the estimated 3,000 tons of soil, cut containers, PPE and other non-hazardous solids.
A request for proposal will be sent out for the hazardous soil if after conducting a cost analysis, off-site disposal makes more economic sense.
A request for proposal will be sent out for disposal of the drums of compatible material.
A treatability study was conducted on the original soil pile (#1) and fixation agents EnviroBlend, Free Flow and Lime Dust were used to treat the soil. Additional treatability studies may be conducted when the data is recieved from the piles which were re-sampled.

2.2.1 Anticipated Activities
Continue consolidation of comatible waste streams
Collect Samples for Disposal Parmaters from consolidated Waste Streams
Send out Request for Proposal for disposal of non-hazardous solids, hazardous solids and drums containing consolidate waste streams
Conduct Additional Treatability on Stock piled Hazardous Soil
Evaluate perched ground water conditions in excavation area and prepare cost estimate if water has to be treated. A filtrate sample was analyzed in the lab using a 5 micron filter. If successful, bag filters may be used on site to dewater the excavation area if water levels do not recede.
Secured site and De-Mobilize until sub-contract for disposal is awarded and waste disposal approvals have been obtained. The site will be demobilized on May 6, 2011. The site will be secured and the City of Markham Police will provide security.
2.2.1.1 Planned Response Activities
Remobilze after sub-contract for disposal of soil, compatible waste streams has been awarded and approvals have been obtained.
Planned re-mobe on May 23,2011
2.2.1.2 Next Steps
Award sub-contracts for disposal of all hazardous materials, treated waste, solids, cut containers and miscellaneous bottles, aerosol cans and other items.
If the water table drops in elevation the excavation area will be cleaned up to remove the contaminated soil that was not excavated due to water infiltration.
Dispose of stock piled soil,cut containers, PPE, and inorganic salts at a Subtitle D Landfill that is in CERCLA off-site compliance.
Dispose of Drums containing compatible waste streams.
Backfill excavation area if high water conditions allow with clean fill. The City of Markham has allowed USEPA to use the clean fill stockpiled on 159th and Western. Samples of the fill were collected and the pile was surveyed to determine volume.
2.2.2 Issues
High Water table in the excavation area caused a shut down in removal activities. The area will be allowed to drain by natural conditions and will then be re-evaluated.
