Description of Work Performed or Scheduled
1. Pursuant to Section VI I . 14. B of the AOC, the exis t ing treatment system was drained, waste therefrom was drummed fordisposal, and the treatment system was dismantled and removed from the bu i ld ing .
• Liquids drained from (he system were treated by granular activated carbon (GAC) uni t s temporarily set up at the site, anddisposed via the sanitary sewer connection at the site. A total of 1,755 gallons of treatment room liquids were treated anddisposed via the sanitary sewer. Untreated l iquids were drummed with ihc wastes from the treatment system. A permit todispose of the treated water was obtained from the City ol Olathe (Attachment F).
Waste removed from EPA's e x i s t i n g t reatment system were placed into three drums and labeled as a hazardous waste(D039 and D040). The drums were placed in the large room of the building, awaiting manifesting and disposal(Photograph 1; the photographic log is included as Attachment A).
• Dismantled treatment equipment was cut up as necessary, t r ip le rinsed, placed in a roll-off container, and disposed of at apermitted l a n d f i l l . Equipment from the sump (pump, air l ines, etc.) were removed (Photograph 2), t r ip le rinsed, placed in arolloff container, and disposed at a permitted landfill. Equipment requested by EPA was triple rinsed and staged in thelarge room of the b u i l d i n g for EPA retrieval (Photograph 3).
The supply l ine from the sump to the t reatment room was secured wi th a threaded steel cap at its entry point to thetreatment room (Photograph 4).
2. Pursuant to Section VII . 14. C of the AOC, the site perimeter fence was repaired (Photographs 5 and 6).

The laboratory analytical report for a sample of the drummed waste (two drums of sludge and one drum of untreated l i q u i d fromthe treatment system) is included as Attachment B. Toxicily characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP) tests foundtrichlorocthylene (TCE) at 23.7 milligrams per l i ter (mg/L), and tetrachloroelhylcne (PCE) at 5.32 mg/L. These results exceedthe regulatory limits and indicate the waste is a D039 and D040 hazardous waste.

Pursuant to Section VI I . 14.A of the AOC and the approved Removal Action Work Plan, groundwaler from the interceptor trenchwas pumped, treated and disposed. Groundwaler pumped from the trench was treated by two granular activated carbon (GAC)uni ts temporarily set up at the site, and disposed via the sanitary scwcr connection at the site. A total of 28,180 gallons weretreated and disposed via the sanitary sewer. Untreated liquids were drained from the hoses back into the sump. A permit todispose of the treated water was obtained from the City of Olathe (Attachment F).
The two GAC units were staged for disposal inside the north door of the bu i ld ing . Other equipment was rinsed and taken off siteu n t i l the next quarterly event.______________________________________ ____________________

POST-REMOVAL SITE CONTROL PLAN
Removal Action Work PlanFormer Chemical Commodities, Inc. (CCI)
PURPOSE
The purpose of this Post-Removal Site Control Plan is to ensure access to the Site is reasonablysecure.
SITE DESCRIPTION
The CCI facility is located at 300-320 South Blake Street (on the southwest quarter of thenortheast quarter of Section 36, Range 23 East, Township 13 South), in the city of Olathe,Johnson County, Kansas (Figure 1-1). Olathe is a city of approximately 63,000 people and is thecounty seat of Johnson County. The facility occupies approximately 1.5 acres in the southeastportion of the city. Surrounding properties include the Burlington Northern Railroad to the east,with light industry and residences beyond the railroad; a vacant lot to the south; Keeler Streetand residential areas to the west; and residences to the north. A warehouse measuring 100 feetlong and 50 feet wide is the only building remaining on site. A site map is presented inFigure 1-2.
IMPLEMENTATION
Monthly inspections will be conducted to verify the fencing remains in tact, gate and lock are ingood condition, and access to the site is reasonably secure. A Monthly Inspection Form isincluded on the following page for use during the inspection. Following the inspection, a writ tentrip report wil l be prepared documenting the findings.
