During the last few weeks, the crew working on the Welsbach Superfund Project has worked safely and nearly 215,261.5 project man hours to date, and there have been no lost time injuries or illnesses.
Residential property remediation is continuing with the following:
116 North King Street continues the remediation of contaminated soil in the basement of the property.
217 Burlington Street-the home owner will continue removing personnel property out of his basement.
The Klemm/Highland remediation is ongoing. The prime contractor continues the excavation of contaminated soil.
The soil that they are excavating will be trucked to the Trans-shipment Facility (TSF) located at Stinsman and Brick Roads via the approved shipping route.
Work on area (4b) Klemm Avenue will continue. The road has been closed to all traffic.
The 100 gpm waste water treatment plant will continue to process and discharge water while meeting the states discharge permit criteria.
Backfill of the Highland/Klemm has started at the north side of the site.
The 75 gallon waste drums that were found during excavation has been safely removed from the site and disposed of properly.
Load out and shipping of rail cars with radiological contaminated waste is continuing at the TSF.
Waste will be transported to permitted disposal facilities at either US Ecology of Idaho or Energy Solutions of Utah.
The 50 gpm waste water treatment plant at this facility will be on line by mid June.
