GENERAL REMARKS
Weather Conditions: Mostly sunny, 84 Degrees, Winds E
@
8 MPH
I arrived at Oregon Iron Metal Reclaimers, Inc. at 10:25 a.m. I stopped by the office and
told
them I
was here for
an inspection. I walked up to the wooded area and looked at the pile of
capacitors. These PCB containing capacitors are the subject of a separate investigation being
conducted by the IEPA and USEPA, and will be addressed by them.
There were old barrels around the area that I had not seen at the last inspection. I continued into
the woods and noted many tires and barrels along the way. I walked back down on the other
roadway leading
to the northwest corner ofthe site.
At the last inspection on
December 29, 2004, scrap metal and tires were buried. This waste,
along with plywood, vinyl, plastic, carpeting,
metal springs, car parts and demolition waste,
continues to be buried and has not been cleaned up. The leveled area
has expanded to the
northwest. Waste was sticking out from the
bank
and from the leveled area.
I walked to the south side of the site. A tire was sticking out from the berm. I
walked around the
scrap pile which has grown considerably, especially in white goods. I did not see any evidence
that Freon is being removed from the appliances.
I walked back to the truck and left at 10:55 am.
