Bi-monthly report

Dear Ms. Stohrfus.
Per Paragraph l(d) of the stipulation. Environmental Innovations. Inc. (Et) is providing a
written bi-monthly progress update of the clean-up efforts at the Kip Nelson Services
properties. This report covers the period from September 16, 2002, through October 31,
2002.
The following is a breakdown for each of the properties:
6000 49th Street
A scrap dealer has removed approximately 75 percent of the scrap metal and vehicles
from this parcel. Approximately 200 to 400 scrap tires arc on this parcel and are being
consolidated for collection by a tire recycler. In addition a few waste oil drums still
remain on this parcel. These drums will be moved into a building on 5910 49th Strcci
until disposal can be scheduled.
6000 49th Street has been used as a staging area for waste oil and other materials until
they can be shipped off site for proper disposal, During the consolidation and staging of
waste oils rwo releases occurred on September, 24,2002. Wisconsin Department of
Natural Resources was notified of the release. Soil samples were collected from both
locations. In addition a sample of the waste oil was collected and analyzed. The samples
were analyzed for total metals. The analytical results showed that the stained soil in one
location was apparently non-hazardous while the olher appears to be hazardous. The
analytical results of the waste oil were not indicative of a hazardous waste.
An interim corrective action is being prepared to abate the .soil that appears lu be
hazardous. The abatement will include excavating the soil from the immediate area and
containerizing the waste in lined, covered roll-off boxes unri) further analytical testing
can be completed. Upon receipt of the analytical results the soil wijj be disposed of as
either a hazardous waste or a special waste as appropriate,
