Current information is in bold font.
On August 3 - 5 2015 EPA and it's technical contractor, Weston Solutions, acquired 23 samples of suspected ACM from various locations inside the main building and from 2 locations outside the main building. The samples were send to a laboratory for analysis. In addition to the sampling the contractor measured the length and diameter of insulated pipes in the basement and first floor in the main building.
On 9/16 EPA and tacos with the EPA removal support contractor, Weston Solutions, flew a drone over the main building at the Site and recorded the physical condition of the roof. The overflight lasted for lasted for about 10 minutes and the drone recorded about 3 minutes of footage of the roof. The overflight confirmed that the roof has collapsed in three places and there are at least a dozen smaller holes in the roof. One section, approximately 10 feet X 20 feet is shown in a dotted outline in what appears to be the beginning of an imminent collapse. RST will overlay the location of the holes and collapsed areas on a scale drawing of the building so that the rooms underneath can be blocked off for H & S concerns.
On 9/17 the OSC met with attorneys for Saratoga County and the Providence Town Supervisor at the Site. The current situation with the site was discussed and the guests were given a brief demonstration of drone ops.
On 9/17 Weston Solutions techs acquired 10 additional samples of suspected ACM. Samples were processed and will be transported to the lab on 9/18 for analysis.
Results of the second 'round of ACM sampling that occurred on 9/16/2015 have been received. This 'round of sampling was done solely on the first floor of the main building. Sample results indicated the presence of Chrysotile asbestos in concentrations ranging from 5.4% to 66.8%.
On 10/6/2015 counsel for Saratoga County informed the OSC that youths were accessing the contaminated main building in increasing numbers. In response to this information the OSC activated the ERRS contractor to initiate site security as follows: subcontract for repairs and upgrade to existing damages perimeter fencing, install plywood panels over doorways and basement windows, and post asbestos warning signs on fence and main building. ERRS contractor expected to be on Site by 10/13/2015.
