What contaminants and/or hazardous materials are present at the site, where are they located, and what is the procedure that will be followed for safe abatement and remediation for each?
The primary contaminants on the site are related to residuals from the former heating systems (coal and oil) used at the site, abandoned sewage treatment beds, and vehicle fueling and maintenance areas. The principal areas affected are the abandoned Powerhouse area, the sewage treatment plant area (also known as the Waste Water Treatment Plant, or WWTP), and associated garage areas. The other primary contaminant of concern is asbestos insulation material associated with the former steam line heating system and the old buildings on the site. The asbestos covered steam pipes will be removed and disposed of off-site. The asbestos in buildings will be removed prior to demolition or rehabilitation and also disposed of off-site. The contents of the WWTP beds, coal ash landfill and soil piles will be excavated and securely placed on-site for re-use or disposed of off-site in accordance with regulations. One remaining underground storage tank will be removed and disposed of off-site. Impacted
