Action Information

Action Date Action Description DEC Staff
8/12/2005 Site Characterization Workplan Approved Workplan for site characterization and interim removal action approved this date. Anne Marie Palmieri
12/21/2005 Site Ranked Using the AHRM Initial AHRM ranking using data that applies to the general area of the site. Contaminant sources from facility operation at the site could have impacted soil, ground water, surface water and sediment. Migration pathways could include migration to subsurface soil and ground water, volatilization, runoff as raw product form or with surface water and uptake by plants or animals. Direct human exposure routes include ingestion, dermal contact and inhalation; indirect routes include ingestion of impacted plants or animals. Bruce Wanstall
12/21/2005 GIS Position Updated Lat long recorded using GIS software and satellite imagery of the site; estimated accuracy is good, within 25 meters Bruce Wanstall
12/21/2005 Site Added to Database Site added to the database. Bruce Wanstall
3/22/2006 Interim Removal Action Approved Interim removal report reviewed and approved this date. 15 supersacks of lead contaminated soil sent as hazardous waste to US Ecology in Idaho. 10 supersacks of non-hazardous waste contaminated soil remain on-site. Additional characterization and removal needed at both fire pits. Anne Marie Palmieri
3/22/2006 Cleanup Level(s) Approved Alternative cleanup levels approved based upon site-specific TOC and a commercial industrial land-use scenario. Lead = 1000 mg/kg, benzo(a)pyrene = 7.82 mg/kg, benzene = 0.297mg/kg and chomium = 23. DRO = 8250 mg/kg and RRO 8300 mg/kg; these are method 2 more stringent values as the site is close to surface water. USFS is aware that a restriction which prohibits residential use of the property will need to be included on the USFS GIS database. Anne Marie Palmieri
4/18/2006 Update or Other Action A second interim removal action will be conducted in May 2006. This action is a continuation of the one from August 2005. The lead and petroleum excavations will be continued. Activities in 2005 were limited due to the presence of a vehicle which was in the way and spill reponse activities at an unrelated incident down the road. Anne Marie Palmieri
9/6/2006 Site Characterization Report Approved Approval of Final Report: conditions of closure: 1) removal of debris, batteries, and drums, and 2) administrative site control. Anne Marie Palmieri
3/2/2007 Update or Other Action Approval of October 2006 removal letter report. Batteries, drums, tanks, and misc. solid waste was disposed of properly. Only remaining requirement for closure is administrative site control. Anne Marie Palmieri
3/28/2008 Exposure Tracking Model Ranking Initial ranking with ETM completed. Anne Marie Palmieri
