Building A- Second floor
Interior building demolition is essentially complete with the removal of the non-structural walls. Initiating HEPA vacuuming of the surfaces to remove dust and adding an application of “lock down agent” to further control dust. Anticipate building demolition to begin Summer 2015. For more progress photos, see NTCRA Progress.
Public groups and de maximis met with the Agencies on 17 MAR 2015 on site to discuss the NTCRA status and schedule for building demolition as well as the planning for the remedy for 1, 4-dioxane in groundwater. The 2229 Main Street Committee provided an update to the Town’s approach to potentially taking the Site.
Work resumes in the previously closed buildings as the snow and ice thaws and Spring approaches Concord. The site is gearing up for the next shipping campaign, due to start in early April 2015.
Approximately 4 feet of snow, more in some areas, covers the rooftops in Buildings A, B, and C. In the interest of worker safety, work is suspended in these areas pending rooftop snow removal. The contamination reduction zone has been moved to Building D and work will continue in Building D and E. See NTCRA Progress for more snow photos.
