1.1.1 Incident Category
PRP Removal
1.1.2 Site Description
The site is the former location of four 55-gallon drums and twenty 5-gallon abandoned containers. The property is unfenced and unsecure. The site is a triangular-shaped property with only northeast, south and west property boundaries. It is approximately one acre in size and bordered by Ainger Road to the west with vacant land on the opposite side of the road. Residential properties border the site to the south, railroad tracks to the northeast.
1.1.2.1 Location
The site is located at 5800 Ainger Road in Olivet, Eaton County, Michigan 49076 in a mixed residential/agricultural area. Coordinates for the Site are 42.48222 degrees north and -84.93531 degrees west.
1.1.2.2 Description of Threat
A complaint was received at the Barry-Eaton Health Department regarding abandoned drums on the property and Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ, formerly MDNRE) was notified. MDEQ requested that the owner of the property cleanup the abandoned drums and containers, but the owner refused. After numerous requests by MDEQ for the owner to clean up the abandoned drums and containers failed, MDEQ contacted U.S. EPA for assistance with removal and disposal of the drums from the site.
1.1.3 Preliminary Removal Assessment/Removal Site Inspection Results
U.S. EPA conducted an assessment at the site and discovered uncontrolled hazardous wastes in unlabeled 55-gallon drums and 5-gallon containers in an abandoned wooden trailer. U.S. EPA collected three liquid samples from three of the 55-gallon drums on-site. Laboratory analysis confirmed the presence of characteristically hazardous waste in one of the drums that had a flash point of 115 degrees Farenheit.
U.S. EPA documented unrestricted site access across the property and visual evidence of trespassing throughout the property. Access to the site is unrestricted due to no perimeter fencing. There is a residential property adjacent to the site with children's playground equipment less than 50 feet away.
