Bloomington, Ind. - The City of Bloomington and the Bloomington Fire Department (BFD) are leading the cleanup of debris generated by the controlled burn of a structure at 1213 South High Street on Friday, November 5. Residents in the vicinity may request that their property be evaluated for remediation by completing this form on the City's website. After encountering delays in contracting with one environmental remediation company, the BFD is working to identify and contract with an alternate service provider to conduct the evaluation and cleanup, to be offered at no charge to affected residents.
Since the controlled burn, BFD crews led by Bloomington Fire Chief Jason Moore have been surveying the vicinity, collecting debris, and going door to door to survey residents and document the dissemination of the debris. Mayor John Hamilton has coordinated with Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) Commissioner Bruno Pigott to prioritize testing of the debris collected on Friday, November 5 to determine its toxicity level. Initial test results indicate the presence of lead in the samples collected. BFD will continue to coordinate with IDEM to implement recommendations for remediation. Residents may dispose of bagged debris and used cleaning materials in specially marked receptacles that were placed in the area Sunday.

On Friday, November 5, the BFD conducted a controlled burn of the house located at 1213 South High Street as a training exercise designed to improve the department's firefighting skills. The owners secured a demolition permit and donated the structure for the BFD's training purposes. As required, the controlled burn was reviewed and approved in advance by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM), and the approval was published in the Herald Times on September 21. The permit approval was also sent to the Monroe County Public Library for public posting and to the Monroe County Health Department. In compliance with state and federal requirements, all of the utilities were disconnected and potentially toxic contents and components of the structure--including furniture, carpeting, asphalt roofing shingles, roofing underlayment, and vinyl siding--were removed prior to the controlled burn.
During and following the burn, area residents noticed and collected what appeared to be pieces of paint debris in the area. After receiving a complaint about potential lead contamination of the debris, BFD administration immediately contacted IDEM and Monroe County Emergency Management to report the issue. IDEM visited the site Friday afternoon, November 5, to measure the extent of the dispersal of debris and take samples.
