1.1.2 Site Description
See Polrep 1
1.1.2.1 Location
The Bedford Anodizing Site is located at 7860 Empire Parkway, Macedonia, Summit County, Ohio. The geographical coordinates for the Site are 41° 17” 35’ North latitude and -81° 30” 1’ West longitude.
1.1.2.2 Description of Threat
Aluminum Hydroxide (a component of the wastewater) was discharged into two creeks. The two creeks travel into wetlands and eventually merge, before emptying into the Brandywine creek, located less than 1 mile downstream. Aluminum Hydroxide forms a gel under pro-longed contact with water. Analytical results of the spilled material indicated that hazardous substances (heavy metals such as lead, nickel, chromium, and zinc) were present in the discharged material.

2.1.1 Narrative
2.1.2 Response Actions to Date
From June 13 through June 25, ERRS removed contaminated sediments from the creek (600 linear feet) located on the neighboring property by using hand digging techniques. Aprroximately 3,000 gallons (20 tons) of material was removed from the creek. 8 loads of contaminated sediments were transported off site for disposal. ERRS completed final restoration in the work areas, including hydroseeding. START collected several samples from the neighboring property for laboratory analysis of target metals as well as XRF screening of 11 samples.
On June 13, 2011 ERRS continued restoration of the work area (grading and restoring natural flow of stream). In addition ERRS intiated removal of contaminated sediments from the creek on the neighboring property. Hand tools were used (rakes, hoes and shovels) to remove the material from the creek in order to do as little enviromental damage as possible to the wetlands. The material was placed in a plastic tote and then transferred to the stockpile for ultimate disposal. Approximately 350 linear feet of the creek was cleaned.
On June 14, 2011 ERRS continued restoration work and continued removal activities in the creek located on the adjacent property. Approximately 150 linear feet of the creek was cleaned.
On June 15, 2011 ERRS continued restoration activities and completed removal activities on the neighboring property. Approximately 100 feet of the creek was completed.
On June 16 and 17th, 2011 ERRS completed grading activites and restoring the stream to its natural flow pattern. Hydro seeding of the affected work area was arranged. In addition 8 loads (160 tons) of contaminated sediments were shipped off site for disposal.
On June 21, 2011 START returned to the site to collect samples from the creek on the neighboring property. Five samples were collected for laboratory analysis of the target metals as well as 11 samples were collected for XRF analysis for metals.
On June 24, 2011 the affected property was hydroseeded and ERRS completed final demobilization on June 25th, 2011.
2.1.3 Enforcement Activities, Identity of Potentially Responsible Parties (PRPs)
Bedford Anodizing currently continues operations. The owner of Bedford Anodizing has been identified, although he has informed US EPA and Ohio EPA that performing the clean-up work would bankrupt the company.
