EPA's cleanup plan includes removing all debris, transformers, above-ground and underground
storage tanks, and drums from the facility; demolishing and disposing off-site all site structures
(buildings and contaminated foundations); and excavating and treating PCB-contaminated
soil using a solvent extraction system from the CTC site and eight surrounding
properties.
Long term cleanup actions began in November 1999. As of July 2002, all above
and underground storage tanks, transformers, drums and debris had been
removed and disposed of off-site. All buildings have been demolished and
debris removed. Contaminated debris and ash found buried during soil
excavation were also removed. A total of nearly 26,000 cubic yards of PCB
contaminated soil has been excavated and treated to date.
It is estimated that an additional 7,000 cubic yards of PCB contaminated soil
will need to be removed. Soil clean up activities are expected to be completed
by April 2003, bringing the total to more than 30,000 cubic yards of soil treated,
including the eight properties surrounding the CTC property. Excavated areas will
be graded and covered with vegetation.
Since the cleanup began, EPA has made a concerted effort to keep residents in the
surrounding community informed with regular correspondence or in-person visits. At the end of this
effort, nearly five acres of CTC property will be available for unrestricted use and EPA is encourag-
ing interested developers to contact EPA to discuss potential future development.
