VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:00 Aug 14, 2007 Jkt 211001 The THORCO Transformer Time-Critical Removal Site is located at 4965 Industrial Avenue, Coeur d’Alene, Idaho (Site). THORCO operated as an electrical construction company. THORCO obtained six transformers during the course of work from various construction sites. Transformer oil was released to the environment on THORCO’s property. The release was initially reported on March 21, 2003. On March 26, 2003, EPA mobilized to conduct a Removal Site Evaluation at the Site. Based on the Removal Site Evaluation and sampling analysis, EPA concluded that a release of PCBs occurred at the Site. The presence of PCBs presented a threat to human health and the environment. In May 2003, EPA and THORCO entered into an Administrative Order on Consent (AOC) for Removal Action that required THORCO to perform a cleanup of the Site. The removal was completed in June of 2003. The AOC did not address EPA’s past response costs predating the AOC. This settlement requires THORCO to pay $18,000.00 to the Hazardous Substance Superfund for recovery of past response costs incurred by EPA concerning the THORCO Transformer Time-Critical Removal Site, which total approximately $38,767.00. THORCO provided requested information, promptly granted access to investigating agencies both state and federal, worked cooperatively with EPA to execute the AOC, and timely completed the removal action in accordance with EPA’s guidance and standards.
