1.1.1 Incident Category
Time Critical Removal Action
1.1.2 Site Description
The Ohio National Acme Site is an abandoned, industrial manufacturing/warehouse property. The Site was historically used as a machine and tool manufacturing facility and later as a warehouse. Friable asbestos is present inside and outside of the Site building. Due to improper demolition practices, the building is open to the environment. The City of Cleveland referred the Site to EPA to conduct a removal assessment and abate environmental and human health threats resulting from abandoned hazardous substances on the property.
1.1.2.1 Location
The Site is located at 170 E 131st St, Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, OH. The Site is located in an industrial/commercial/warehouse area in Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio. The Site is bordered to the north by Kirby Avenue, Coit Road, and industrial properties; to the east by E 131st Street and industrial properties; to the south by Pull A Part, and to the west by Kirby Avenue and industrial properties.
1.1.2.2 Description of Threat
A tenant filled the Site building with municipal waste. Upon notification that the municipal waste had to be removed from the building, the tenant and/or the tenant’s contractors began demolishing the building to access and remove the waste. No demolition permit was granted prior to the start of demolition activities at the Site. In addition, there is no evidence that asbestos abatement activities were conducted prior to the start of demolition activities at the Site. On August 17, 2012, the Ohio EPA collected bulk material samples from the demolition debris piles, which indicated asbestos-containing materials (ACM) are present in the debris piles at concentrations up to 65% Chrysotile, 20% Amosite, and 10% Crocidolite. The main concern is that the ACM is friable and asbestos fibers are being released into the air and possibly migrating off site. Another concern is that trespassers onto the Site will come into contact with the ACM, disturb the materials, and cause further releases into the air.

2.2 Planning Section

|
|
|
2.2.1 Anticipated Activities
ERRS contractor will finalize asbestos survey of the property. Copies of the report will be provided to the City.
2.2.1.1 Planned Response Activities
An ERRS subcontractor will provide monthly rodent control at the site through December 2013. A representative of the City Health Department will escort the subcontractor on Site each month to replenish poison in bait traps on the property.
2.2.1.2 Next Steps
None
2.2.2 Issues
EPA estimates that approximately 30,000 to 40,000 tons of municipal waste remains on the site. In addition, significant quantities of TSI remain on pipes throughout the facility. Proper abatement will be required before future demolition of the building can take place.
