The remaining 10,000 gallons of crude oil that had been stored in one frac tank at Handley has been transported off Site via tanker truck for delivery to the customer.  The remainder of the 180,984 gallons of crude oil recovered from the damaged/derailed cars has been loaded into new rail cars that are currently being staged at the Handley, WV rail yard.  The rail cars of crude are expected to be transported for delivery to the customer later this week.

Oil/water mixture from vacuum operations at the spill site is still being transported to Handley for storage in frac tanks, pending separation into an oil/water phase and subsequent T&D.  As of 3/10/15, a total of  201,844 gallons of oily water mixture have been recovered from vacuum operations.  T&D of oily water continues; a total of 171,242 gallons of oily water has been transported off Site to Washington, PA for disposal.

CSX began excavating additional oil-contaminated soil at the site on 3/9/15.  The soil is being transported off Site for disposal at the Waste Management Landfill located in Charleston, WV.  A total of 361 truckloads of oil-contaminated soil, totaling 7,260 tons, have been shipped as of 3/10/15.  On 3/9/15, CSX began shipping rolloff boxes of other waste streams off Site to the Waste Management Landfill in Charleston, WV.  Other waste streams include:  timber and cross ties (six rolloffs/4.75 tons shipped); PPE and sorbent pads (five of eight rolloffs have been shipped, totaling 8.12 tons); and poly sheeting and hay (nine of twelve rolloffs have been shipped, totaling 66 tons).

The CSX Road Master was present on Site on 3/10/15 to evaluate the railway embankment where additional soil excavation is required.  Plans are being coordinated to conduct the excavation and then stabilize the embankment with rip rap.  This activity is expected to begin next week.

Sheen continues to be observed in the runoff water that flows through the hillside at the Site.  The water is being managed using an underflow dam and a series of collection sumps.  Vacuum recovery operations are continuing to recover crude oil product and sheen from collection trenches/pits, sumps, and also between the sheet pile wall and the river bank.  A combination of vac trucks, sorbent pads, and sorbent boom are being used to collect the oil and sheen.  Vac trucks are staged in the spill area and workers are skimming oil from the seep areas and shoreline on an as-needed basis as less product is accumulating in the sumps.

CSX contractors have been cleaning debris out of the booms and have reset the booms in the river outside the sheet pile wall. 

WVAWC and CSX contractors continued to collect samples of raw and finished water from the

Montgomery WTP twice each day.  CSX contractors resumed collection of daily surface water samples from the Kanawha River on 3/8/15; they had not collected the daily river surface water samples from March 4-7, 2015, due to safety considerations concerning high water levels and swift current in the River.

CSX is the responsibile party. EPA finalized it's Recommendation for Determination of Imminent and Substantial Threat to Public Health or Welfare at the CSX Mount Carbon Train Derailment Site on 2/27/15.  EPA also issued a unilateral administrative order (UAO) to CSX on 2/27/15. An Administrative Order on Consent was signed on 03/04/2015 by CSX, detailing their responsibilities at the Site.

CSX has been responsive, employing multiple cleanup contractors and environmental consultants to advise them on the technical aspects of the response.  CSX has also provided their hazmat team and security on-Site. OSC Matlock will coordinate with EPA and WVDEP enforcement personnel, as appropriate.
