1.1.1 Incident Category
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) Incident Category:  Recycling - Used oil and drums

1.1.2 Site Description
All Pro Scrap was a recycler of used oil and drums.  The facility received used vehicle oil filters and crushed drums, many of which were labeled as hazardous waste.  The oil filters and drums were processed through a shredder.  A pit below the shredder captured oil and liquid waste.  Metal and recovered oil were sent off-site for recycling. Liquid waste that could not be recycled was disposed of by Future Environmental.  Future Environmental reportedly disposed of 2,000 gallons of waste per week. Fluff and sludge were disposed of at Southside Landfill.

1.1.2.1 Location
The facility is located at 1905 Lawton Avenue in Indianapolis, Marion County, Indiana, 46203.  The facility is approximately 1.5 miles southeast of downtown Indianapolis.  Site coordinates are 39.7429104 degrees north latitude and  86.1270614 degrees west longitude.

The site is located in a mixed-use area that includes industrial and residential properties.  Residences are located north of the facility.  Industrial properties are located to the east, west, and south.

Pleasant Run, a major drainage for Marion County, is approximately 1/3 mile north of the site.  Run-off from the site enters the combined sewer overflow (CSO).  During high flow, the sewers flow north and west to outfalls on Pleasant Run.  Pleasant Run flows into the White River approximately two miles from the outfall.

1.1.2.2 Description of Threat
On December 18, 2013, the shredder caught fire (National Response Center [NRC #1068922]).  The fire destroyed the shredder building and caused the release of oil and hazardous substances.  Oily waste and fire-suppression water flowed off-site and into a quonset hut on a property to the east.  Waste also flowed north into roadways, alleys, and residential properties.  Waste impacted at least five residential properties and a neighboring industrial property.  Wastewater and fire-suppression water entered nearby sewer drains.  It is believed that oily waste flowed to the sewage treatment plant because there had not been significant precipitation during and prior to the fire.  The Marion County Public Health Department (MCPHD) alerted the sewer utility about a potential slug of oily waste that could impact the sewage treatment plant.

1.1.3 Preliminary Removal Assessment/Removal Site Inspection Results
See previous Pollution Reports (PolRep).
2. Current Activities
  2.1 Operations Section
    2.1.1 Narrative
MCPHD and the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) responded to the fire on December 18, 2013.  On December 20th, MCPHD and IDEM requested assistance from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).  EPA and its contractors responded to the site on December 20th.  
 
2.1.2 Response Actions to Date
All Pro Scrap and its consultant Keramida submitted the results from excavation activities that were conducted in March 2014.  Confirmation samples indicated that several locations had polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and metals above IDEM's screening levels for direct contact soil exposure at residential properties.  IDEM's screening levels were used as Applicable or Relevant and Appropriate Requirements (ARAR). The table below summarizes locations where chemicals of concern (COC) were above screening levels.

Boring ID Location Depth Chemicals above Screening Levels
CS-1 1750 Villa Avenue 0.5' Benzo(a)anthracene, Benzo(a)pyrene, Benzo(b)fluoranthene, Indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene
CS-11 Alley east of 1743 Randolph Avenue 0.5' Mercury
CS-14 Alley east of 1735 Randolph Avenue 0.5' Benzo(a)anthracene, Benzo(a)pyrene, Benzo(b)fluoranthene
CS-19 Alley north of 1905Lawton Avenue 0.5' Benzo(a)anthracene,Benzo(a)pyrene, Benzo(b)fluoranthene, Dibenz(a,h)anthracene, Indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene
CS-20 Alley north of 1905 Lawton Avenue

 0.5' Benzo(a)anthracene, Benzo(b)fluoranthene
CS-25 Alley north of 1905 Lawton Avenue 0.5' Benzo(a)anthracene, Benzo(a)pyrene, Benzo(b)fluoranthene, Indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene


April 29 - May 1, 2014, All Pro Scrap's contractors excavated the locations with elevated COCs.  They collected confirmation samples when excavation was complete, and backfilled excavated locations with gravel. Confirmation samples were collected between 1 and 2 feet below ground surface (bgs).  All confirmation sample results were below laboratory reporting limits.  

Response personnel demobilized on May 1, 2014.  The On-Scene Coordinator (OSC) determined that response actions were complete on May 9, 2014 after receiving confirmation sample results.

 

2.1.3 Enforcement Activities, Identity of Potentially Responsible Parties (PRPs)
All Pro Scrap is the operator of the site. All Pro Scrap, Inc., also known as All Pro Shearing, Inc., is headquartered in Mishawaka, Indiana.  The property is owned by Michael and Mary Ann Maio.
