The company overseeing the Brownsfield remedial cleanup at Klemm Avenue and Highland Blvd. site gave a report by letter to the Gloucester City Council for the month of May. The report was read at the Work Session of Council on May 17. The report reads as follows:
The prime contractor is continuing the excavation of contaminated soli. The soil that they are excavating is being trucked to the Transshipment Facility (TSF) located at Stinsman and Brick Roads via the approved shipping route. Work has started on the remediation work on Klemm Avenue 4 (b). The road has been closed to all traffic.
The new 100 gpm waste water treatment plant is continuing to process and discharged water while meeting the states discharge permit criteria. Backfill of the Klemm/Highland site was started on May 7.
On May 1 while excavating SES unearthed three 75 gallon drums. The drums are in the process of being analyzed for any product residue. At this time it appears the drums are empty and not radioactive.
Load out and shipping of rail cars with radiological contaminated waste is continuing at TSF. Waste is being transported to permitted disposal facilities at either US Ecology of Idaho or Energy Solutions of Utah. The waste water treatment plant at this facility will be on line by mid May.
