WEEKLY MEETING
AGENDA
October 5, 1999

WORK PERFORMED:
September 29 - October 4

• 247 trucks were shipped with an estimated 6,077.20 tons of material to EQ for disposal last week. A total of 19,875.59 tons of TSCA material have been shipped to EQ to date.
• 267 capacitors were recovered this week. A total of 1392 capacitors have been recovered thru Saturday, 10/2.
  
• No roll-offs containing capacitors were shipped this week.
  
• Continued removing overburden from grids that require excavation.
  
• Continued excavating and sampling grids from the north part of the main area.
  
• Began removing TSCA material in the south portion of the main area.
  
• Continued chasing capacitors and capacitor parts in the main area.
• Continued perimeter air sampling. Analytical data is attached.Continued personnel air sampling.
• Continued water truck use to aid in dust control, as necessary. Recent rains have greatly helped control dust along the roads and during excavation.

WORK PLANNED:
October 5 - October 11

• Continue loading and shipping TSCA material to EQ landfill.Continue excavating and sampling main area.
• Continue removing overburden from grids that require excavation.
• Continue backfilling areas confirmed clean.
  
• Use water truck, as required, for dust control.Ship two roll-offs of capacitors to ChemWaste.
  
  

HEALTH AND SAFETY

• Personnel air sample result for operator in load-out area on 9-27-99 was non-detect or asbestos.
• Still awaiting personnel air sample result for dump truck operator on 10-1-99 for lead.
• Still awaiting personnel air sample result for operator in main excavation area on 10-1-99 for PCBs.
  
• Still awaiting personnel air sample result for operator in load-out area on 10/1/99 for BTEX.
  
  

OTHER TOPICS

• The drum of oil found in the west side of grid D14 has been overpacked and placed ina roll-offbox with capacitors pending disposal. Wood chips have been placed in thedrum of oil, as well as around the drum within the overpack, to soak up oil perChemWaste (Onyx) in Port Arthur, Texas. A sample of the oil was found to containPCBs at a concentration of 113,000 ppm. No VOCs were detected, pH was 6, andignitability was >200 degrees F. An FID screening of the oil for petroleumhydrocarbons showed a petroleum distillate at a conservative concentration ofb 270,000 ppm.
  
• A split sample collected by Tetra Tech for the west half of grid B10 showed a PCBconcentration of 110 ppm. The verification sample showed PCBs at 18 ppm. CBShas agreed to re-excavate this half of the grid
