FOREWORD

The OSC, as mandated in the National Oil and Hazardous Substances contingencyPlan (NCP), is required to provide a coordinated Federal response capabilityat the scene of a sudden discharge of oil or hazardous substance that poses animminent and substantial threat to the public health and/or the environment.In addition, the provisions o£ the Comprehensive Environmental Response,Ccinpensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) promote a coordinated Federal, Stateand local response to mitigate situations at hazardous waste sites which posean kminent and substantial hazard to public health and/or the environment.

The presence of hazardous toluenesulfonic acid spilled in the downtown area ofWheeling, WV necessitated an emergency response action to abate the threats.Thus, the provisions of the NCP and CERCLA were implemented by the U.S.Environmental Protection Agency, Region III, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

The overall success of this response would not have been possible were it notfor the cooperation received from the West Virginia Department of NaturalResources, local first responders, and a concerned community, we would like tocommend these agencies and groups for their efforts and professional handlingof this pollution incident.

INTRODUCTION

A. Initial Situation/Nature of the Incident

A tote tank containing 350 gallons of toluenesulfonic acid was beingtransported by the Interstate Chemical Company to the Erie Center Foundry andMachine. The tank was situated on a flatbed truck, unsecured. As the truckwas rounding a turn at Route 2 and Seventh Street in downtown Wheeling, WestVirginia, the tank slid off the truck, struck an automobile and ruptured. Theacid spilled all of its contents onto the street, area residents and automobiles.

At 1105 hours, February 27, 1987, the Wheeling Fire Department reported the acidspill to U.S. EPA On-scene Coordinators (OSCs) Jerry Saseen and Jack Downie. TheOSCs were on scene by 1115 hours to address the situation. Five residences wereevacuated and several people were taken to the hospital for treatment of symptomsresulting from overexposure and direct contact with the released acid,

OSC Saseen approved the use of CERCLA funds under the Delegation of Authority14-1-A (4/8/86). A delivery order for $25,000 was issued to the ERCS contractor,O.H. Materials Company (OHM). OHM dispatched AMD Pollution Services to the scenedue to AMD's proximity to the spill area.

OSC Downie contacted the Interstate Chemical Company (ICC) to inform them ofEPA's cleanup actions and to offer them an opportunity to take over the cleanupas a responsible party. ICC offered to provide a crew to take over the cleanupbut most likely could not respond until mitigation of the spill was completed.Therefore, the Wheeling Acid Spill cleanup proceeded as a federal removal project.

B. site Location

The Wheeling Acid Spill occurred at the intersection of Route 2 and Seventh streetin Wheeling, Ohio County, West Virginia.

A location map and site sketch are included as Appendix of this report.

NARRATIVE OF EVENTS

On February 27, 1987, a tote tank containing 350 gallons (3,200 pounds) oftoluenesulfonlc acid was being transported by the Interstate Chemical Company tothe Erie Center Foundry and Machine. The tote tank was situated on a flatbedtruck, unsecured. While rounding a turn on Route 2 at Seventh Street in Wheeling,West Virginia, the tank slid off the truck. As a result, the tank ruptured,spilling the acid onto the street, residences and automobiles. Discharge of thetoluenesulfonic acid resulted in a release of toxic vapors along a three-blockarea. Residents along the spill path reported rotten egg, nauseous odors andirritation to the eyes and respiratory tract.

The wheeling Fire Department (WFD) was the first responder to the scene. The U.S.Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) Region III was notified at 1105 hours.On-Scene Coordinators (OSCs) Jack Downie and Jerry Saseen of the U.S. EPA WheelingField Office were on scene at 1115 hours.

Due to the toxic nature of the acid, several residents living within the immediatearea required emergency medical treatment. The occupants of homes which weresplashed with the acid were evacuated to prevent further contact with thematerial. School children were rerouted to protective shelters with assistancefrom the American Red Cross until the area was safe for reentry. The Red Crossalso performed an inspection of a nearby retirement home to check for adversehealth effects resulting from the released vapors and found that there were noapparent health problems. Residents who experienced property damage from thespilled corrosive acid were referred to Interstate Chemical Company.

OSC Saseen approved 525,000 in CERCLA funds under Delegation of Authority 14-1-A(4/8/86). AM3 Pollution Services, an ERCS subcontractor, were appraised of thesituation and told to stand by. The ERCS contractor, O.H. Materials Company wasnotified and dispatched AM3 to the scene due to AMD's proximity. OSC Saseenissued a delivery order for $25,000 to ERCS at 1245 hours.

OSC Downie coordinated with the Wheeling Health Department in dealing withpublic exposure. The consignee, Erie Center Foundry and Machine, wascontacted for information regarding the chemical characteristics of the spilledmaterial.

At 1405 hours, OSC Downie contacted Interstate Chemical Company (ICC) anddetermined that ICC was the responsible party as the shipper and carrier ofthe acid. ICC was made aware of EPA's cost recoupment procedures and wereinvited to respond with properly equipped response personnel. In the interim,EPA would maintain control and stabilization efforts until ICC was willing andable to take over. ICC did mobilize two personnel but it was determined by OSCSaseen that they were not properly equipped to perform the required actions.

The West Virginia Department of Natural Resources Divisions of Water Resourcesand Waste Management were represented on site to assist in the supervision ofthe cleanup.

AMO Pollution Services arrived on scene at 1445 hours and initiated removalactivities. Sand and lime were utilized to stop and neutralize the flow ofacid. The neutralized material was recovered and stored in a dumpster. TheCity of Wheeling furnished an industrial street sweeper to retrieve as much ofthe remaining lime and sand as possible from the street. Continuous pHmonitoring of the runoff water was performed as the street, houses andautomobiles were washed.The dumpster of cleanup waste material was relocated for temporary storage atthe west Virginia Department of Highways (WVDOH) facility in Triadelphla, WVafter DOH granted permission to transport the waste on the highways. Route 2,a major artery of wheeling, was closed off by the Wheeling Police Departmentfor approximately twelve hours. Cleanup actions were completed at 2100 hoursthe same day.

The eighteen cubic yards of neutralized toluensulfonic acid and sand weredisposed of on March 14, 1987 at Chemical Waste Management, Inc., EmailAlabama.

Wheeling Acid SpillWheeling, West VirginiaFederal On-Scene Coordinator's Report

PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED AND RECOMMENDATIONS

The Wheeling Acid Spill proceeded in a time- and cost-efficient manner. Afterthe actual cleanup was completed, a problem arose stemming from a misunderstand-ing between EPA and the State of West Virginia. EPA received permission from theWV Department of Highways (DOH) to temporarily store the neutralized acid/lime/sand material at the DOH Triadelphia facility. However, DOH was under theimpression that the secured and covered waste material would be disposed ofwithin a few days,

DOH received citizen complaints of the waste being stored at the facility, andEPA encountered difficulty in obtaining disposal. However, OSCs Saseen andDownie worked closely with DOH and ERCS and disposed of the material two weekslater.

It is recommended that if state or local facilities are used due to the lack ofTemporary Storage Depots (TSDs), that the local agency be prepared and/orunderstand the time frame involved. This requires close coordination between theOSC and the accepting facility,

LEGAL ASPECTS

Interstate Chemical Company (ICC), the shipper and carrier of the toluenesul-fonic acid, was named as the responsible party. OSC Downie contacted ICCofficials and invited them to take over the emergency cleanup. ICC sent twopersonnel to the scene but they were not equipped to properly perform therequired actions. Since ICC was unable to take over the cleanup, Superfundmonies were expended.

OSC Downie contacted EPA Enforcement after the emergency cleanup was completed.Enforcement Chief Mary Letzkus requested a copy of the site file, which was thenforwarded to her by OSC Downie. At the time of this writing, EPA Enforcement ispreparing cost recovery actions against Interstate Chemical Company.

I. INTROUDCTIQN

This is to notify you of an Immediate Removal Action thathas been undertaken pursuant to the QSC's Delegation of Authority14-1-A Cf/B/SG), to mitigate the immediate and significant riskof harm to human health and the environment aa presented by theWheeling Acid Spin Site. The threat was that of fire andexplosion, direct human contact, inhalation and ingest ion offuming toluenesulfonic acid, and the possible contamination of theOhio River.

Section 10't of CERCLA calls for the initiation of immediateremoval action where there is a threat of a release of ahasardcius substance which could present an imminent »ndsubstantial danger to public health or welfare.

The Delegation of Authority authorized the OSC to approveCERCLfi removals with » total coat of IBSS than *SO,000.00.Therefore, the OSC approved the use of CERCUfl funds at this siteto mitigate the threat to human health and the environment byneutralizing and removing the toluenesulfonic acid.

II. BACKGROUND

The Wheeling Acid Spill was located in Wheeling, OhioCounty, West Virginia. The spill occurred on route 2 which ia amain artery to the city and resulted in traffic being reroutedfor 10 hours,

fit 1103 hours February £7, 1987 the Wheeling Fire Departmentnot if led'EPR On-Scene Coordinators <Q$j:f)f JBntj>v' Saseen and JackDownie of a spill of 3200 pounds of tol^enffiv\<f/^\ic acid, The

\ OOOS'

fire department reported that a tote tank containing 3SO gallonsof the acid was being transported by the Interstate Chemical Co.to Erie Center Foundry and Machine, Wheeling, WV. The tank w«ssituated on a flat bed truck, unsecured, when the truck wasround ing a turn on route 2 at the intersection of 7th Street.The tank dislodged from the transport truck, fell to theground surface and ruptured. The acid contaminated approximatelythree (3) city blocks as well as surrounding homes, businesses,automobiles and a portion of the cities sewer system.

Due to the toxic nature of the material, several residentsliving within the immediate area required emergency medicaltreatment. In addition, evacuation of several residents, whosehomes were splashed with the toluenesulfonic acid, was necessaryto prevent further contact with the material. School childrenthat were released from school at the time cleanup waa underwayhad to be rerouted to protective shelters with assistance fromthe American Red Cross until the soill area was safe for reentry.

III. THREAT

The threat of direct human contact, inhalation and ingest ionof vapors emanating from the toluenesulfonic acid, and fire andexplosion was substantial. Tolunesulfonic acid is corrosive tometal and tissue and can cause burns to the skin and lung damageif inhaled. Five (S) residents were transported to the OhioValley Medical Center as a result of the spill. One person wasadmitted for respiratory problems. Several other peoplecomplained of a "rotten egg-aulfurlc acid" smell which could bedetected four stories above the scene. An undetermined amount ofthe liquid toluenesulfonic acid flowed into a portion of thecities sewer system.

IV. SCOPE OF WORK

The scope of work proposed for implementation with theemergency $25,000.00 appropriation included neutralising thecontaminated areas which included homes, businesses, automobiles,storm sewers and roadways with large amounts of lime and water,monitoring discharge waters for pH and recovering andcontainerising contaminated material. All recovered materials tobe transported to a temporary holding area.

V. OSC ACTION

At 1243 hours OSC Saseen issued « deliyery order to ERCS inthe amount of $25,000.00 for emergency removal action tostabilize the site. At 1405 hours OSC Downie contactedInterstate Chemical Company and determined they were th« carrierand thus the responsible party for the shipment of spilled acid,Interstate Chemical was made aware of EPA's cost recoupment andwere invited to respond with properly equiped response personnel.In the interim EPA would maintain control and stabilizationefforts until Interstate Chemical was willing and able to t«keover. Interstate Chemical did mobilize two <£> personnel butit was determined by OSC Saseen that their personnel were notproperly equiped to perform the required actions.

The ERCS contractor arrived on scene at 1445 hours andinitiated removal activities. Cleanup of the entire site waacompleted by S100 hours of the same date.

Because the conditions at the Wheeling Acid Spill met theNCP Section 300.65 criteria for an immediate removal, the OSCapproved this immediate removal action. The estimated totalproject costs were less than *25,000.00.

I. Local television and newspaper media activity were heavyat the onset of the incident and tapered off as the situationcont inued.

J. QSC Jerry Saseen under his Delegation of Authority14-l-fl(4-a~a6> obtained 25K in CERCLA funds to initiate astabilization of the scene. AMD Pollution Services, Inc.(OH Materials sub-contractor) were appraised of the situation andtold to stand by. OH Materials was informed and flMQ's serviceswas requested. AMQ was requested due to it's proximity to thespill area. AMO was activatud by OH Materials to respond to thescene.

K. Mr. Bill Mudge of Center Foundry (consignee), wascontacted in response to the chemical character1stics of thespilled material.

L. Downie worked with the city health department in dealingwith public exposure.

M. Downie contacted officials of the Interstate ChemicalCo. and spoke with Mr. Paul Scirillo, Executive Vice President,and Mr. filbert R. Puntureri, President and informed them thatInterstate Chemical Co. was named as the responsible party in theongoing clean-up. Interstate was given the opportunity to takeover the clean-up at that time.

N. Responsible Party offered to provide a crew to take overthe clean-up but most likely could not respond until mitigationof the spill was completed.

D. West Virginia Departments of Natural Resources, WaterQuality, and Hazardous Waste, were on site to assist supsrvisionof the clean-up.

P. Both sand and lime were used to stop and neutralize theflow of the acid.

Q. Approximately 6 yards of contaminated MM&Cbnd sand wasrecoverd and stored in a 10 yard dumpster. "

R. The city furnished an Industrial street sweeper toretrieve *• much of the remaining lime and sand as possible fromthe street.

S. The Wheeling Fire Department was utilized to wash theremaining cleanup material from the street. A test wasperformed, before any action was initiated, to identify the pH ofthe runoff. The test proved that the clean-up method usesd wasadequate,

T. Continuous pH monitoring of the runoff water wasconducted as the street, houses, and cars were washed.

U. Dumpster of waste cleanup material was relocated andtemporarily stored at the Department of Highways facility locatedin Triadelphia, West Virginia. Permission was granted by WV DOHto transport the waste on the hiways.

III. Future Plans

A. OSC to submit Special Bulletin A

B. OSC to submit OSC report.

C. Prepare necessary documentation for cost recovery.

D. Make final arrangements for disposal of cleanupmaterial.
