INTRODUCTION
In FY 1988, EPA continued to implement the Superfund
Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA). In the
remedial decision making process, Section 121 of SARA
mandates the selection of a remedial action that is
protective of human health and the environment, attains
applicable or relevant and appropriate Federal and State
requirements (ARARs), is cost-effective, and utilizes
permanent solutions and alternative treatment technologies or
resource recovery technologies to the maximum extent
practicable. In addition, SARA includes a preference for
treatment which permanently and significantly reduces the
volume, toxicity, or mobility of hazardous wastes and
requires an explanation in those cases in which the selected
remedy does not satisfy this preference. The RODs listed in
this report document the application of these mandates in the
remedial program in FY 1988.
One hundred fifty-two RODs were signed during FY 1988.
This represents a 100 percent increase over FY 1987. Ninety-
five of the FY 1988 RODs addressed final source control. The
remaining 57 RODs selected ground water remedies only (39),
interim source control actions (4), or no further action
(14). Forty-nine RODs selected both source control and
ground water remedies. Consistent with the policy started in
FY 1986 to delegate ROD approval authority to the Regions, 99
percent of all FY 1988 RODs were approved at the Regional
level.
In keeping with SARA Section 121 and program
expectations, treatment of the source was selected in 68 of
the 95 final source control sites. In addition, 20 of the 27
source control sites which selected containment only were
large landfills, mining waste/smelter sites or asbestos
sites. Exhibit 1 provides a quantitative summary of FY 1988
remedy selections by site lead. Exhibit 2 provides a summary
of remedial action costs as presented in FY 1988 RODs.
Exhibit 3 graphically depicts the frequency with which
treatment technologies were selected in FY 1988.
Incineration/thermal destruction was selected most frequently
(26 sites), followed by solidification/stabilization
(18 sites), and vacuum extraction (10 sites). Exhibit 4
groups FY 1988 RODs by the types of technologies selected.
In addition, Exhibit 5 lists those RODs between FY 1982 and
FY 1987 that selected treatment technologies.

CANNON ENGINEERING, MA
First Remedial Action - Final
March 31, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Cannon Engineering Corporation (CEC) facility is located in a small
industrial park in the western part of the Town of Bridgewater, Plymouth
County, Massachusetts. The four-acre site is bordered by industrial
developments to the north and east and a wooded lowland to the south and
west. A wetland area lies south and west of the site. CEC, which has owned
the property since 1974, handled, stored, and incinerated chemical waste
onsite from 1974 to 1980. EPA conducted site investigations between 1980
and 1982, and in October 1982, Massachusetts contracted for the removal of
sludge and liquid waste from onsite tanks and drums. In January 1988, EPA
provided for the removal and disposal of numerous hazardous materials
abandoned at the site. This remedial action addresses three discrete areas
of soil and sediment contamination located in the northwestern and southern
portions of the site, and the buildings, tanks, and other contaminated
structures onsite. The volume of contaminated soil is estimated to be
325 yd3. The primary contaminants of concern affecting the ground water,
soil, and debris are VOCs including benzene, TCE, and vinyl chloride, and
other organics including PCBs and PAHs.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: access
restrictions; excavation and onsite treatment of VOC-contaminated soil by
thermal aeration, and excavation and offsite treatment of PCB-contaminated
soil by incineration; decontamination, removal, and disposal of contaminated
buildings, tanks, and structures; additional soil sampling to assess
effectiveness; ground water monitoring and implementation of a water quality
monitoring program to assess natural attenuation of contaminants; and
institutional controls to restrict onsite ground water use. The estimated
present worth cost for this remedial action is between $3,400,000, and
$4,505,000 with present worth O&M of $700,000.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; Target cleanup goals for soil include
benzene 55 ug/kg, and TCE 71 ug/kg (based on leaching potential into ground
water as determined using the Organic Leaching Model), and PCBs 9 mg/kg
(based on risk levels). Target goals for ground water include benzene 5
ug/1 (MCL), TCE 5 ug/1 (MCL), and vinyl chloride 2 ug/1.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS; Deed and land restrictions will be implemented to
prevent the use of onsite ground water.

CHARLES GEORGE LANDFILL, MA
Third and Fourth Remedial Actions - Final
September 29, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Charles George Landfill (CGL) site is located approximately one mile
southwest of the Town of Tyngsborough, Massachusetts. The 70-acre site is
bounded by Flint Pond Marsh (wetland area) and Flint Pond to the east,
Dunstable Brook to the west, and the Cannongate Condominium complex to the
southeast. Land use in the vicinity of the site is predominantly rural and
residential but also includes some light industry and seasonal livestock
grazing. The landfill contains municipal waste disposed of onsite from the
mid-1950s until the landfill closed in 1983 by order of the Massachusetts
Attorney General. Hazardous industrial waste was also disposed of primarily
in the western area of the site from 1973 until at least 1976. The site
came to the attention of the Massachusetts Department of Environmental
Quality Engineering (DEQE) 'when the deep bedrock wells in use by the
Cannongate Condominium complex became contaminated with VOCs. The DEQE
ordered the wells closed in 1982. EPA conducted ground water monitoring in
1981 and 1982, and also undertook emergency removal actions beginning in
August 1983 and continuing through March 1984. Presently the site has a
thin soil cover, 2 surface water and leachate lagoons, 2 leachate collection
systems, 1 recirculating pump station, and 12 shallow gas vents.
Construction of a full synthetic landfill cap was addressed in a previous
ROD and should begin in early 1989. This ROD encompasses the third and
fourth operable units and focuses on the control and cleanup of contaminants
that have spread or are spreading from the site, including the treatment of
leachate collected as part of the cap system. Investigations have
identified contaminated ground water in overburden, shallow bedrock, and
deep bedrock zones. In addition, an estimated 500 yd3 of sediments
require remediation, and vent emissions from the landfill are contaminated
with a wide array of VOCs. The primary contaminants of concern affecting
the ground water, sediments and air, are VOCs including benzene and TCE,
organics including PAHs, and metals including arsenic.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: extraction and
treatment of shallow ground water plumes and leachate collected from the
landfill cap, system using biological treatment, metals precipitation and
carbon adsorption with onsite discharge of the treated water into the
aquifer or offsite discharge into nearby surface water; collection and
incineration of landfill vent gas emissions; excavation and solidification
of approximately 500 yd3 of contaminated Dunstable Brook sediments and
placement beneath the Phase II landfill cap; ground water monitoring and
access restrictions. The estimated present worth cost for this remedial
action is $11,320,000 which includes O&M costs of $601,000.

PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; The target cleanup levels for ground water
are benzene and TCE 0.005 mg/1, cadmium 0.010 mg/1, and arsenic and silver
0.05 mg/1, all based on MCLs. Contaminants in the deep aquifer cannot
practicably be extracted but will attenuate to health-based levels within a
depth of 500 feet. The cleanup goal for sediments requires PAH levels of
less than 1.0 mg/kg, based on a risk level of 4 x 10~6. Target levels for
12 VOCs in vent emissions are listed based on a 1 x 10~6 cumulative risk
level.

GROVELAND WELLS, MA
First Remedial Action
September 30, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The 850-acre Groveland Wells site is located in the Town of Groveland,
Essex County, Massachusetts, within the lower Johnson Creek drainage basin.
The site includes the watershed and aquifer which recharge two municipal
supply wells, Station Nos. 1 and 2, and three known sources of soil, surface
water, and ground water contamination: the Valley site, the A.W. Chesterson
site, and the Havenhill Municipal Landfill site. This remedial action
addresses source control at the Valley site. The remaining operable units
of the Groveland Wells site will be addressed in subsequent remedial
actions. The Valley site operable unit is located in the far northwestern
section of the Town of Groveland, and is bordered to the north and south by
residences within 100 feet of the site. The Town of Groveland's municipal
water supply well, Station No. 1, is located approximately 3,500 feet
northeast and downgradient of the Valley site, and is currently being
treated to remove VOCs as part of an initial remedial measure by EPA. The
Valley Manufactured Products Company (Valley) began operating a metals and
plastic parts manufacturing business in 1963 on a 1.5-acre parcel of
property owned by Groveland Resources Corporation (GRC). The Valley site
area consists of the land within and immediately adjacent to the GRC
property boundaries and contains three subsurface disposal systems, and an
oil storage and recovery system consisting of six underground tanks and a
55-gallon drum storage area both of which were used to store cutting oils
and solvents such as TCE and methylene chloride. These subsurface disposal
systems dispersed liquid effluent into the ground by filtration through a
sand and gravel leach field. According to Valley/GRC, more than 20 gallons
of waste cutting oil containing TCE and other hazardous substances were
released each month on the ground at the south end of the building between
1964 and 1972. Also, at least four 55-gallon drums of the same material was
used as a defoliant on the eastern side of the building. Between 1979 and
1984, effluent from an acid bath finishing process was discharged to an
underground leach field, and TCE-contaminated oil was released on the soil
under a loading dock and into a floor drain. In 1973, 500 gallons of raw
TCE was released from an underground storage tank into the soil, and
additional waste oils and solvents were dumped on the ground. A site
investigation in 1983 revealed high levels of TCE, arsenic, lead, and copper
in the underground disposal systems. Additional sample analysis has
detected soil contaminated with VOCs from the surface to a depth of 15 feet
in various locations onsite. Analysis of surface water and sediments from
Mill Pond, downstream of the Valley site, as well as ground water from
monitoring wells in the site area, also detected VOC contamination. Based
on the concentration of VOCs detected in the subsurface soil and ground
water, and historical site use information, both media are believed to be
contributing to ground water and surface water contamination in the

(Continued)
Valley site area and the Mill Pond/Johnson Creek watershed and aquifer. The
primary contaminants of concern affecting soil, sediments, ground water, and
surface water are VOCs including TCE, PCE, and toluene, and metals including
arsenic and lead.
The selected remedial action for the Valley site operable unit includes:
in situ vacuum extraction of approximately 20,000 yd3 of unsaturated soil
followed by activated carbon treatment of the extracted VOCs; onsite ground
water pump and treatment by carbon adsorption and aeration, with recharge to
the aquifer of a portion of the treated ground water upgradient of the site
to accelerate removal of saturated zone soil contamination, and discharge of
the remainder of the treated ground water to the aquifer downgradient of the
site, and treatment of air emissions from the aeration process by carbon
adsorption; ground water monitoring; and sealing or disconnecting all drains
and lines to the acid bath finishing process disposal system. Incidental
treatment of inorganic compounds and other contaminants will be provided as
necessary in order to efficiently operate the VOC contaminant treatment
system and to meet applicable discharge permit requirements. The estimated
present worth cost of this remedial action is $4,165,000, with a 10-year
present worth O&M cost of $2,677,000.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; Ground water cleanup levels for VOCs are
based on MCLs or an excess cancer risk level of 10~6. Individual goals
include PCE 5.0 ug/1 (MCL), TCE 5.0 ug/1 (MCL) and toluene 2,000 ug/1.
Inorganic contaminant cleanup levels are based on State of Massachusetts
Ground Water Quality Standards and ground water discharge permit
requirements. Individual goals include arsenic 50 ug/1 and lead 50 ug/1.
Individual soil cleanup goals for VOCs are based on achieving the target
ground water levels and include TCE 6.3 ug/kg and PCE 18.2 ug/kg.

IRON HORSE PARK, MA
First Remedial Action
September 15, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Iron Horse Park site is a 552-acre industrial complex and railyard
located in North Billerica, Massachusetts. The site includes manufacturing
and railyard maintenance facilities, open storage areas, landfills, and
wastewater lagoons. A long history of activities at the site has resulted
in contamination of soil, ground water, and surface water. In August 1984,
EPA, under its removal authority, covered an onsite asbestos landfill
located northwest and adjacent to the lagoons area. In September 1984, the
site was placed on the NPL. In 1985, EPA began evaluations of the site and
concluded that the size and complexity of the site, as well as the discreet
nature of the contamination, necessitated dividing the site into several
separate problem areas. This ROD addresses the cleanup of the Boston and
Maine Wastewater Lagoons (B&M Lagoons) and surrounding area, which are
operated by Boston & Maine (B&M) Corporation. The B&M Lagoons are a series
of lagoons located within a 150-acre parcel of land leased from the
Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, which uses most of the land to
operate a passenger rail service. The lagoons have been receiving untreated
industrial and sanitary wastewater from the manufacturing and railyard
maintenance facilities since 1915. The lagoon area consists of the North
and South lagoons, currently receiving wastewater, an overflow lagoon, one
inactive lagoon used until 1954, and an empty lagoon that was never used.
The lagoons contain approximately 7,800 yd^ of soil and sludge
contaminated primarily with VOCs, low levels of PAHs, and metals. In
addition, approximately 20,000 yd^ of soil and sludge dredged from the
lagoon bottoms and disposed in piles along the lagoon banks are contaminated
with low levels of organics and metals. The piles of dredged material and
the sludge in the lagoons are considerd to not contribute significantly to
ground water contamination. This conclusion is based on the results of the
TCLP test which indicates that these materials do not leach contaminants in
significant concentrations. Additionally, the contaminants found in these
materials are generally not found in the ground water. B&M has been ordered
to stop discharging wastewater to the B&M Lagoons by the end of 1988, and
plans to tie-in to the town of Billerica's sewer system. Subsequent RODs
will address other portions of the site including a landfill and site-wide
ground water. The primary contaminants of concern affecting the soil,
sludge, and debris are VOCs, organics including PAHs, and metals including
arsenic and lead.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: excavation and
onsite biodegradation of contaminated soil and sludge with residual disposal
to the lagoon area followed by covering with a clean soil cover and
revegetation; and decontamination of the lagoon system piping and pumps.
The estimated capital cost for this remedial action is $2,273,000 with
present worth O&M of $47,000.

KEEFE ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES, NH
Second Remedial Action - Final
March 21, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Keefe Environmental Services (KES) site is located in a semi-rural
area in Epping, New Hampshire. Surface water from sections of this site
flows toward a wetland area to the immediate south. Considerable filling
and excavation have occurred at the site using the materials for site fill,
road construction, surface leveling, and dike construction purposes. In May
1978, Mr. Paul Keefe constructed a chemical waste storage facility by
establishing drum storage areas, large storage tanks, equipment shelters and
a bulking area. A 700,000 gallon capacity, synthetically lined, waste
lagoon was also installed. During April 1979, the New Hampshire Bureau of
Solid Waste Management (NHBSWM) and the Division of Public Health Services
(DPHS) ordered KES to clean up a number of leaking storage tanks, ruptured
drums, improperly dumped latex waste, and contaminated soils. At this time,
a series of complaints were made by local residents, concerning strong odors
attributed to the site. These complaints resulted in legal action against
KES. During September 1979, a surface water and ground water sampling
program identified seven chlorinated hydrocarbons in the ground water
wells. This resulted in the issuance of a second cleanup order focusing on
the removal of all leaking drums, spills, and contaminated soil, daily
inspection of drums for leaks, and reduction in total number of drums stored
onsite. Beginning in November 1979, drinking water wells of the twelve
surrounding residences were sampled by the New Hampshire Water Supply and
Pollution Control Commission (NHWSPCC) for chemical compounds and biological
parameters. The sampling indicated the presence of several VOCs in some
wells. Removal actions initiated between June 1981 and November 1982, and
then again in March 1983, removed 2,029 fifty-five gallon drums, 84 thirty
gallon drums, 47 cauldrons and trays, 51 carboys, 1,630 five gallon pails,
124 empty drums, and 10 fiber and 155 miscellaneous containers. In
addition, approximately 4,100 five gallon drums, 4 five-thousand gallon, and
4 ten-thousand gallon above-ground tanks were removed from the site. A
first operable unit ROD, signed in November 1983, approved the removal of
contents from the lagoon, lagoon liner, and adjacent contaminated soil.
This second operable unit addresses soil and ground water contaminated with
VOCs.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: in-situ treatment
of soil using vacuum extraction with discharge to the atmosphere; and ground
water pump and treatment using air stripping, filtration, and carbon
adsorption with discharge to a ground water recharge area adjacent to the
wetland along the site border. The estimated capital cost for this remedial
action is $1,942,300 with present worth O&M of $4,157,700.

LANDFILL & RESOURCE RECOVERY, RI
First Remedial Action - Final
September 29, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Landfill & Resource Recovery (L&RR) site is located in North
Smithfield, Rhode Island, and consists of a 28-acre landfill and a sand and
gravel pit. Several unnamed streams lie to the south and east of the site
and flow through wetlands located adjacent to the site area. Several homes
near the site use ground water for drinking, and the Statesville reservoir,
used for recreational activities, is located approximately 0.5 mile from the
site. The L&RR site is a former sand and gravel pit that began accepting
domestic, commercial, and industrial wastes in 1927. Site owners claim the
hazardous materials were mixed in with municipal refuse and deposited in the
north-central area of the site, but other reports indicate hazardous waste
was spread over the entire site area. When hazardous waste disposal ceased
in 1979 the owners placed a PVC cover over the north-central area to prevent
stormwater infiltration. Commercial and domestic wastes were disposed of on
top of and around the area in subsequent years. In 1983, the Rhode Island
Department of Health installed monitoring wells onsite to ensure compliance
with State regulations, and based on sampling results, ordered the site
closed. Upon final closure in 1985 the owners covered 80 percent of the
landfill area with one foot of sand, another synthetic cover and topsoil.
Eighteen gas vents were installed to vent gases underlying the synthetic
cover. The sand used as final cover has eroded into the adjacent wetlands,
but sampling indicated no contamination was present. Low levels of VOCs and
metals including lead, cadmium, and arsenic were discovered in downgradient
ground water samples, but levels were sporatic and all were below MCLs.
This remedial action will upgrade the existing landfill enclosure to protect
ground water and wetlands, implement wetlands recovery operations, and
collect and treat landfill gas to reduce risks to public health from
inhalation. Primary contaminants of concern affecting the air are hydrogen
sulfide and methane gases contaminated with VOCs including benzene, toluene,
PCE, and TCE.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: access
restrictions; stabilization of the steep side slopes of the landfill and
installation of a RCRA cap over the entire landfill, with revegetation;
collection and thermal destruction of underlying gases, the method of
thermal destruction to be determined in design; excavation of eroded
landfill sand from the wetlands, with replacement onsite, and vegetation of
excavated wetland areas; and ground water and air monitoring. The estimated
present worth cost of the selected remedy is between $5,674,000 and
$6,790,000, depending on the particular method of slope remediation and
thermal destruction chosen. O&M costs were not provided.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; Thermal destruction of landfill gases will
meet the Rhode Island Air Toxic Regulations at the site boundary.

LAUREL PARK, CT
First Remedial Action - Final
June 30, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Laurel Park site is located in the town of Naugatuck, New Haven
County, Connecticut. The landfill, occupying about 19-acres of the 35-acre
site, lies entirely within the drainage basin of the Naugatuck River.
Additionally, the landfill is located on a hill in close proximity to
fractured bedrock and bedrock aquifer. It is assumed that waste disposal
actions began in the late 1940s. It was common practice to burn some of the
waste brought to the site. Operational problems at the landfill were
reported in the early 1960s. Complaints included chemical spills on roads
leading to the landfill, large quantities of black acid smoke, odors, and
blowing litter. In 1961, a lawsuit was filed and, in 1964, the owner was
ordered to cease burning certain waste types. Between 1965 and 1966, the
Connecticut State Department of Health investigated reports of contaminated
surface water. Construction of a leachate collection system was completed
in 1984. The operators of Laurel Park were ordered in January 1981 to stop
landfilling in an unapproved excavation area. By April 1987, the landfill
ceased receiving wastes. The primary contaminants of concern affecting
ground water, soil, surface water, and sediments include: VOCs, organics,
and metals.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: installation of a
RCRA cap over all waste disposal areas; rehabilitation of existing leachate
collection system, supplemented by a shallow ground water extraction system
consisting of a French drain and/or ground water extraction wells, with
discharge and offsite treatment at the Naugatuck Water Pollution Control
Facility (NWPCF); and monitoring of all media. The estimated present worth
cost for this remedial action is $21,706,300 without pretreatment, or
$23,078,200 including pretreatment, if necessary.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; Ground water and leachate will be extracted
to meet the RCRA Ground Water Protection Standard (GWPS) at the point of
compliance, which is the vertical surface located at the hydraulically
downgradient limit of the waste management area. Currently, the GWPS is set
at the MCLs, ACLs, or background. Specific individual cleanup levels were
not specified.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS; Institutional controls have been recommended to
prevent the bedrock aguifer in the site vicinity from being used as a source
of water for any purpose.

OLD SPRINGFIELD LANDFILL, VT
First Remedial Action
September 22"/ 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Old Springfield Landfill site is located approximately one mile
southwest of the city center in Springfield, Windsor County, Vermont. The
land use within a 1 mile radius of the 27-acre site is primarily low density
residential housing, light agriculture, undeveloped forest land, and
commercial development. The landfill was operated by the Town of
Springfield between 1947 and 1968 for the disposal of municipal solid waste
and hazardous industrial liquid and semi-liquid waste. The site is
currently owned by Springfield Mobile Home Estates, which operates a trailer
park currently consisting of 38 mobile homes. Approximately 60 people
reside in the Springfield Mobile Estates trailer park, built on top of the
landfill. The site first came to the attention of the Vermont Department of
Health because of a complaint by a nearby resident of foul-smelling water.
Investigation of the site found VOC contamination in a spring and in a
residential well near the mobile home park. EPA began investigations at the
site in 1976. Four areas of contamination have been identified at the site
where industrial waste was either disposed of in discrete trenches or mixed
with the municipal waste. This remedial action addresses landfill seepage
and ground water contamination. The remedial action is designed for
management of contaminant migration and study of final remediation
alternatives. The primary contaminants of concern affecting the ground
water, surface water, soil, and sediments are VOCs including benzene, PCE,
TCE, toluene, and other organics including PCBs and PAHs.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: construction of an
underground collection system to collect leachate; installation of wells for
extraction of contaminated ground water; onsite treatment of the collected
leachate and extracted ground water, or discharge to the Publicly Owned
Treatment Works (POTW) for treatment; institutional controls to restrict the
use of ground water that exceeds MCLs; multimedia monitoring; and conducting
additional studies to determine the feasibility of isolating waste materials
from the ground water (e.g., french drain, slurry wall, or waste removal).
The estimated present worth cost for this remedial action is $5,374,000 with
annual O&M costs of $173,000.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; Cleanup goals for ground water and leachate
will attain MCLs, and include benzene 5 ug/1, 1,1-dichloroethene 7 ug/1,
trichloroethene 5 ug/1, and vinyl chloride 2 ug/1.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS; Institutional controls will be implemented and
enforced to restrict the use of ground water where it may exceed MCLs.

ROSE DISPOSAL PIT, MA.
First Remedial Action - Final
September 23, 1988,
ROD ABSTRACT
The Rose Disposal Pit site occupies 1.5 acres in the northern section of
a 14-acre residential lot located in Lanesborough, Massachusetts,
approximately 4 miles north of Pittsfield. The property encompassing the
site is bounded on the north, northeast, and west by forests, on the east
and southeast by cropland and pasture, and on the southwest by a residential
area. There is a small wetland west of the disposal area and a larger
forested wetland to the southeast of the property. A small man-made pond is
located approximately 200 feet south of the disposal area. During the 1950s
and possibly later, the General Electric Company disposed of waste oils and
solvents in a trench on the site, now referred to as the disposal area.
Field investigations conducted between 1981 and 1986 revealed high
concentrations of PCBs in surface and subsurface soils and indicated the
presence of VOCs in ground water. The volume of contaminated soil to be
remediated is approximately 15,000 yd3. The primary contaminants of
concern affecting the soil, sediments, ground water, and surface water are
VOCs including PCE, TCE, toluene, and xylenes, and other organics including
PCBs.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: excavation and
onsite incineration of approximately 15,000 yd3 of contaminated soil and
sediment with residue disposal onsite; ground water pump and treatment
onsite using air stripping and carbon adsorption with discharge to the
aquifer; installation of a bedrock well to prohibit ground water migration;
treatment of pond sediments and surface water and subsequent restoration of
the onsite pond to its original wetlands character; implementation of
institutional controls; and ground water monitoring. The estimated present
worth cost for this remedial action is $6,450,000 with estimated present
worth O&M of $5,790,000.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; PCB-contaminated soil above 13 mg/kg (based
on 10~5 risk level) will be excavated and treated to a PCB concentration
of less than 2 mg/kg. Treated ground water will achieve MCLs, if available,
or MCLGs, Lifetime Health Advisory (LHA) or a 10~6 cancer risk level.
Individual ground water cleanup goals include PCE 1 ug/1 (10~6 risk
level), benzene (MCL), and TCE (MCL).
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS; Institutional controls will be implemented to
prevent ground water use and excavation within the disposal area.

YAWORSKI LAGOON, CT
First Remedial Action - Final
September 29, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Yaworski Lagoon site is a dewatered and backfilled lagoon,
approximately 700 feet and 300 feet wide, and surrounded by an earthen
dike. It is located on an approximately 100-acre section of land in
Canterbury Township, Windham County, Connecticut, on the floodplain of and
bordered on the north, south and west by the Quinebaug River. The area
surrounding the site includes agricultural land to the east and south.
Leachate enters the ground water from below the lagoon; seepage from the
lagoon dikes and surface runoff from the site flow to adjacent wetlands.
Approximately 2000 feet southeast of the site is an operating solid waste
landfill owned by James Yaworski, the same person who operated the lagoon.
The landfill contributes some contamination to ground water, but EPA
monitored the site in 1988 and determined the contamination to be much less
than from the lagoon. Between 1950 and 1973, sludge materials and drums of
industrial waste including solvents, paint, textile dyes, acids, resins, and
other debris, about 50,000 barrels of waste material altogether, were
deposited in the lagoon. The lagoon currently contains approximately
65,000 cubic yards of contaminated sludge covered by about 60,000 cubic
yards of contaminated debris. The sludge is a mixture of water, dirt, VOCs,
and other organic compounds at concentrations above 10,000 ppm. Metals are
at concentrations above 1000 ppm. Monitoring wells were installed at the
site in 1976 and ground water contamination was detected. In 1982,
following an investigation of the site, CT DEP ordered Yaworski to close the
lagoon. The primary contaminants of concern affecting the ground water,
soil and sediments are VOCs including benzene, toluene and xylenes, organics
including PAHs, and metals including chromium and lead.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: installation of a
RCRA cap; improvement of dike around the lagoon to ensure protection from
floods; establishment of a ground water protection standard (ACL); and
monitoring of ground water for 30 years. A ground water treatment method
will be established as part of a corrective action program if, after
implementation of the source control remedy, ground water contamination
remains above ACLs. The estimated capital cost of this remedial action is
$1,673,000 with present worth O&M of $716,600.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; Ground water ACLs will be established as
part of the selected remedy. Individual ACLs were not specified.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS; Restrictions will be implemented to restrict ground
water use onsite and within 1500 feet offsite.

AMERICAN THERMOSTAT, NY
First Remedial Action
January 7, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The American Thermostat Corporation (ATC) site, occupying approximately
eight acres, is located, in South Cairo, New York. Private homes are near
the site on its eastern and western boundaries. Former plant operations
involving the assembly of thermostats for small appliances were carried out
in one existing large building. From the mid 1950s through at least 1981,
waste containing TCE and PCE sludges were poured down drains which were
connected to an abandoned septic system and dumped outside onto plant
grounds. The drains were connected to the abandoned septic system. In
March 1981, two ATC employees were observed dumping solvents on plant
property. This triggered investigations into the company's waste handling
practices by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation
(NYSDEC) and the New York State Attorney General's office. Subsequently,
water samples collected in five privately-owned wells in the ATC vicinity
revealed the presence of high levels of TCE and PCE. As a result, ATC began
supplying bottled water to local residents in April 1981. By late 1982, ATC
had installed carbon filters on its own well and the affected residential
wells. Pursuant to a 1983 Consent Order, ATC and AMRO Realty Corporation
(AMRO), the owners of the property, agreed to clean up the site and its
surroundings; supply bottled water for cooking and drinking purposes; and
install, monitor, and maintain carbon filter systems for the five affected
homes. ATC and AMRO did not fully comply with the Consent Order and did not
remedy the contamination at the site. In June 1983, a new onsite
4,500-gallon septic system was installed and, in September 1983, ATC
provided carbon filtration for septic system discharges to lower PCE
levels. ATC ceased operations in May 1985 and filed involuntary
bankruptcy. EPA has been sampling area wells and maintaining previously
installed carbon filtration units. In addition, EPA installed two new
carbon filtration units on contaminated private wells; installed two air
stripping system on a highly contaminated well; and drilled a new well
attempting to locate a clean water supply. The primary contaminants of
concern affecting the ground water are VOCs including PCE and TCE.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: provision of an
alternate water supply through extension of the existing Catskill' Water
District pipeline from Sandy Plains Road or from Rudolph Weir Road to the
affected and potentially affected area. The exact route of the pipeline
will be determined during design. The estimated capital cost for this
remedial action ranges from $2,270,000 to $2,380,000 with annual O&M of
$100,000 to $110,000, pending the pipeline route decision.

ASBESTOS DUMP, NJ
First Remedial Action
September 30, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Asbestos Dump site is an 11-acre commercial property, formerly an
asbestos processing plant, in Millington, New Jersey. It is bounded by the
Passaic River, the Millington Train Station, commercial properties, and
private residences. Part of the site lies within the flood plain of the
Passaic River which serves as a public water supply source for
74,000 people. Approximately 200 individuals are employed by 21 businesses
operating on the active portion of the site. Asbestos, Limited engaged in
the fiberization and sale of asbestos at the site from 1927 until 1946.
From 1946 until 1953, the plant was owned by Bernard E. Smith and operated
under the name of Smith Asbestos, Inc., a manufacturer of asbestos roofing
and siding. During these years waste water from the manufacturing process
was impounded on the site to permit settling of asbestos fibers suspended in
the water. Periodically, the sediment was removed, disposed of onsite and
covered with dirt. In May 1953, the property was acquired by National
Gypsum, which manufactured cement asbestos siding and roofing sheets at the
plant until 1975. Most of the waste was recaptured and recycled during this
period, although broken siding and asbestos fibers were dumped on a
five-acre area on the property. From 1959 until 1972, National Gypsum used
phenylmercuric acetate (PMA) as a fungicide to coat the asbestos shingles.
Waste generated by the cleaning of coating equipment was disposed of in
small pits onsite. In May 1975, National Gypsum closed the Millington
plant. The total asbestos waste at the site is estimated to be 90,000 cubic
yards. The primary contaminant of concern affecting ground water and soil
is asbestos.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: installation of a
two-foot soil cover on areas of exposed or minimally covered asbestos,
construction of slope protection/stabilization measures along the asbestos
mound embankment, and surface run-off diversion channels on top of asbestos
mound; long-term monitoring including offsite ground water monitoring;
access restrictions; institutional controls to restrict onsite ground water
use and limit development on the asbeatos fill area; and performance of
treatability studies to evaluate technologies that may permanently remediate
asbestos. The estimated present worth cost for this remedial action is
$1,145,000 with annual O&M of $56,000 to $161,000.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; The selected remedy, covering the asbestos
contaminated areas with two feet ,of soil, will comply with the National
Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPs) requirements of
the Clean Air Act.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS; Institutional controls will be implemented to
prevent onsite ground water use and development on the asbestos fill areas.

BEACHWOOD/BERKELEY WELL, NJ
First Remedial Action - Final
June 30, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Beachwood/Berkeley Well site, encompasses Beachwood Borough and
Berkeley Township in central-east Ocean City, NJ. The total population of
the two municipalities is approximately 23,000. In response to a public
complaint of possible aluminum contamination of drinking water, the New
Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) sampled four potable
wells and discovered the presence of lead in exceedance of the Federal
Interim Primary Drinking Water Standard. Subsequent sampling confirmed the
presence of lead at approximately 4 times the standard. The Ocean County
Health Department, collected additional samples in the two municipalities.
Results of analyses indicated that 15 percent of the total wells sampled in
the Borough and 3 percent of the residential wells sampled in the Township
exceeded the regulatory standard for lead in drinking water, however, there
was no distinct geographical pattern to the occurrence of the lead
contamination. By order of the NJDEP, an alternate supply of water was
provided to the affected residents. After extensive investigation of lead
levels in residential tap water, surface water, ground water, sediments,
soils, and lead concentrations in, and dissolution from plumbing systems, it
was concluded that elevated concentrations of lead in drinking water were
not caused by man-made or industrial sources. Rather, the sources of lead
include; a minor contribution from native area ground water, lead packers
used in well construction, and dissolution of lead from lead-bearing
materials of home plumbing systems, particularly lead/tin solder.
Remediation under the Superfund program of the documented existence of
lead in drinking water resulting from dissolution from residential plumbing
systems is precluded by law. The State of New Jersey is proceeding
independently of Federal Superfund financing to address the presence of and
the problems posed by lead in drinking water.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; Remediation involves the interim remedy
waiver for contaminant-specific ARARs; however, ground water extraction and
discharge will meet MCLs. Individual MCL goals were not specified.

BREWSTER WELL FIELD, NY
Second Remedial Action - Final
September 29, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Brewster Well Field consists of two municipal well fields, No. 1 and
No. 2, located on the northern bank of the East Branch Croton River, 3/4 of
a mile east of the Village of Brewster, Town of Southeast in Putnam, New
York. The 18 shallow wells in the field are a source of water for the
municipal water system that serves over 2,100 residents in the Village of
Brewster and the Town of Southeast, as well as a number of businesses and a
railyard. Additional receptors of the ground water from this aquifer
include downstream users of the East Branch Croton River, which contributes
to the Croton Falls Reservoir approximately 3.5 miles downstream. Also, two
reservoirs exist upstream to the east and northeast within 3000 feet of the
site, which are part of New York City's Croton watershed reservoir system.
Land use to the north and west is predominantly residential, and to the
south commercial and light industrial. VOC contamination was detected in
the Brewster Well Field in 1978 and alternate water sources were
subsequently added. Investigations identified the source of contamination
as a drywell adjacent to the Alben Cleaners south of the site, where dry
cleaning wastes wre disposed of via a floor drain until 1983. Approximately
100 yd^ of material including drywell sludges, sediments, and soil have
been contaminated with VOCs at concentrations up to 620,000 ppm. In
addition, a plume of ground water contaminated with VOCs at" concentrations
up to 6,000 ppb extends from the vicinity of the cleaners north to the
Brewster Well Field. Consequently, the Village of Brewster and EPA have
operated a full scale packed column spray aeration system for treatment of
the entire village supply since 1984. The first Record of Decision (ROD)
for the site was signed in September 1986 and was aimed at controlling
migration of contamination through the ground water. The ROD called for the
design and construction of a ground water management system to extract,
treat (by air stripping via a packed tower), and reinject ground water to
expedite the removal of VOCs. This second ROD is designed to remediate the
source of contamination, namely the drywell. The primary contaminants of
concern affecting the soil, sediments, sludge and ground water are VOCs
including PCE and TCE.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: excavation and
offsite incineration of approximately 100 yd3 of drywell sediments,
sludge, and soil with greater than 4 ppm PCE followed by offsite disposal;
and removal, decontamination, and offsite disposal of the concrete drywell
structure and debris. The estimated capital cost for this remedial action
is $241,940.

New Jersey. The site is situated in a rural area with an auto salvage yard
and a few scattered residences nearby. The entire Burnt Fly Bog encompasses
about 1,700 acres. This remedial action addresses the 10-acre area
constituting the Westerly Wetlands Operable Unit. The area is affected by
contamination from the 10-acre parcel where waste was originally deposited
(Uplands Area Operable Unit). The site includes both flood plains and
wetlands. Contamination has been detected in the surface water, surface
soil, and the shallow subsurface soil as a result of uncontrolled discharges
and runoff from the Uplands Area waste sources. The Uplands Area includes
several abandoned oil storage and treatment lagoons containing residual oil
sludges and aqueous wastes, contaminated waste piles, and buried or exposed
drummed wastes. These are the result of activities at the site from 1950 to
1965. The site property is presently owned by Mr. Dominick Manzo, who
operated part of the property as a sanitary landfill from 1963 to 1969. The
Uplands Area is currently being cleaned up under a Record of Decision signed
on November 16, 1983. The volume of soil contaminated with PCBs and lead is
estimated to be 76,400 yd3 at the site, with an additional 5,600 yd3 of
contaminated sediments in an adjacent downstream area. There is no evidence
of PCB contamination in surface water. The primary contaminants of concern
affecting the surface water, soil and sediments are PCBs and lead.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: access
restrictions; excavation of contaminated sediments from the downstream area
with disposal at an offsite RCRA Subtitle C facility; as an interim remedy,
containment without capping contaminated soil in the Westerly Wetlands
through installation of a sedimentation basin and appropriate diversion
controls; and performance of treatability studies on the most promising
innovative technology alternatives to provide the final remedy. A
subsequent ROD will address this final remedy for the contaminated soil.
The estimated present worth cost for this remedial action using a 20-year
life estimate is $6,100,000 with annual O&M costs of $320,000.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; The excavation of the downstream area
sediments meet the State soil cleanup criteria for PCBs 5 mg/kg and lead 250
mg/kg.

EWAN PROPERTY, NJ
First Remedial Action
September 29, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The 43-acre Ewan Property site is located in a predominantly
agricultural and residential area of Shamong Township, Burlington County,
New Jersey. Private residences are provided domestic water from wells as
close as one mile downgradient from the site, drawing from an aquifer that
extends from beneath the site. The site is broken into two study areas,
Area A and Area B. Area A, consisting of nine acres, is the area of
concern. Site investigations revealed that during the early to mid-1970s,
at least 500 to 8,000 55-gallon drums containing hazardous industrial
wastes were disposed of in trenches in Area A, and the trenches were
subsequently backfilled with soil. Investigations also revealed that many
of the drums are ruptured, corroded or leaking. Soil and ground water
samples indicate the presence of VOCs and metals. It is estimated that Area
A has 4,500 yd3 of highly contaminated soil and waste material, and 29,500
yd3 of moderately contaminated soil. Primary contaminants of concern
affecting soil and ground water are VOCs such as benzene, TCE, PCE, and
xylenes, and metals including chromium and lead.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: construction of
decontamination, staging and waste characterization areas; excavation,
staging and characterization of waste materials with offsite incineration of
all appropriate wastes (approximately 4,500 yd3 of buried drums and
heavily contaminated soil); temporary onsite storage and assessment of
non-incinerable wastes to determine proper disposal method; and monitoring
of air and ground water during remedial activities. The estimated present
worth cost of the selected remedy is $21,153,000 with estimated annual O&M
costs of $22,000.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; Will be determined during the remediation
of a subsequent operable unit.

GE WIRING DEVICES, PR
First Remedial Action - Final
September 30, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The GE Wiring Devices site is located in Juana Diaz, Puerto Rico. The
General Electric Company (G.E.) owns and operates a five-acre wiring devices
plant at this site, which assembled silent mercury switches from 1957 until
1969. Approximately half a ton of mercury was discarded along with
4,000 yd^ of defective switch parts and plastic scraps in an onsite
waste-fill area about 1 acre in area and 1 to 4 feet deep. Several
residences are located approximately 400 feet south of the waste-fill area,
which is surrounded by a concrete retaining wall and a fence. Ground water
in the area is used as a source of drinking water with a public supply well
located approximately 1,500 feet west of the waste-fill area. In addition,
ground water flows to the west toward the San Jacaguas River. About 500,000
gallons of perched water has accumulated within the waste-fill area as a
result of precipitation/recharge. Evidence indicates that contamination of
the water table is occurring due to the migration of perch water through the
clay layer that exists beneath the waste-fill area. Approximately
1,500 yd^ of near-surface soil south and downgradient of the waste-fill
area has been contaminated by mercury primarily as a result of previous
surface runoff from the plant area. The primary contaminant of concern
affecting the ground water, soil, and debris is mercury.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: onsite
hydrometallurgical treatment of the waste-fill materials, perched water, and
contaminated near-surface soil with disposal of the treatment residue in the
former waste-fill area, followed by covering- with a clean soil cover, and
onsite treatment of the process leaching agent with discharge to a POTW;
additional investigation of the ground water to determine the extent of
contamination; and limited ground water monitoring, provided there is no
need for ground water remediation. The estimated capital cost for this
remedial action is $1,912,870. There are no O&M costs associated with this
remedy.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; Soil, perched water, and debris will be
treated to a health-based cleanup level of either 16 ppm, if further air
sampling verifies levels exceeding the EPA National Emission Standard for a
Hazardous Pollutant (NESHAP), or 21 ppb, based on risk due to ingestion, if
there are no levels exceeding NESHAP.

KIN-BUC LANDFILL, NJ
First Remedial Action
September 30, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The 220-acre Kin-Buc Landfill consists of a number of inactive
industrial and municipal waste disposal areas and is located in the Raritan
River 100-year flood plain and within a coastal zone in Edison Township,
Middlesex County, New Jersey. Bordering the site is an industrial park
directly north, the Edison Township Municipal Landfill 600 feet to the
south, marshlands to the east, and the Raritan River bordering the west.
Land use within one mile of the site includes residential, light industrial,
and recreational areas. Landfill operations were conducted between 1947 and
1977. Details on the owners/operators of the side are unknown prior 1968
when Kin-Buc, Inc. leased the area from Inmar Associates. According to site
records, an estimated 70 million gallons of liquid wastes, including
3 million gallons of oily waste and over 1 million tons of solid waste, were
disposed of between 1973 and 1976 alone. Examples of wastes received
include solvents, waste oils, paint sludges, cyanides, metal stripping
wastes and paint thinners. The Kin-Buc site includes three major mounds:
Kin-Buc I (30 acres), Kin-Buc II (12 acres) which lies directly north of
Kin-Buc I, and Mound B (9 acres) which lies southwest of Kin-Buc I adjacent
to the Raritan River. Additionally, three pits of black oily leachate, Pits
A, B, and C, are located at the southeastern edge of Kin-Buc I; there is a
refuse-filled low-lying area between Kin-Buc I and the Edison Landfill; and
an area of impounded, tidally affected water, Pool C, contaminated by
Kin-Buc I is adjacent to the pits. Site activities included burying and
compacting contained wastes in Kin-Buc II, and discharging hazardous liquid
wastes into bulldozed pits at the top of Kin-Buc I. These practices
resulted in numerous citizen complaints, caused frequent major onsite fires
and a number of serious occupational injuries. EPA began investigations in
January 1976 and detected the discharge of hazardous substances from the
facility. In February 1980, EPA began cleanup activities consisting of
collection, treatment, and disposal of Pool C leachate; a drum reduction
program; oily-phase leachate collection and onsite storage; and
aqueous-phase leachate pretreatment, removal, and offsite treatment. In
September 1980, Kin-Buc, Inc. was ordered to cap Kin-Buc I and II. This
source control ROD addresses remediation of the first of two operable units,
which includes Kin-Buc I and II, Pool C, and the low-lying area between
Kin-Buc I and Edison Landfill. A subsequent ROD will address offsite
migration controls. The primary contaminants of concern affecting the
ground water, surface water, sediments, soil and air are: VOCs including
benzene and toluene, other organics including PAHs and PCBs, and metals
including arsenic and lead.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: installation of a
slurry wall surrounding the site; RCRA capping over Kin-Buc II, a portion of
the low-lying area between Kin-Buc I and the Edison Landfill, and Pool C;
maintenance and upgrading, if necessary, of the Kin-Buc I cap; collection of
approximately 3 million gallons of oily-phase leachate with offsite
incineration and residual disposal; collection and onsite biological or

carbon treatment of aqueous-phase leachate and contaminated ground water
with discharge either to surface water or POTW, and dewatering of residual
sludges and offsite disposal; ground water monitoring; and O&M. The
estimated present worth cost for this remedial action is between $16,290,000
and $16,635,000 with annual O&M varying from $848,000 (year 1) to $405,000
(years 12-20).
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; Incineration of oily-phase leachate will
meet six nines (99.9999%) destruction and removal efficiency. Aqueous-phase
leachate and contaminated ground water discharge criteria will be
established by NJDEP based on the results of treatability studies, but will
meet NJAC water quality criteria and wastewater discharge requirements.
Individual cleanup goals were not specified.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS: Institutional controls will be implemented to
restrict use of the property as necessary to prevent damage to the cover.

LIPARI LANDFILL, NJ
Third Remedial Action - Final
July 11, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Lipari Landfill site is a municipal and industrial waste landfill in
Mantua Township, Gloucester County, New Jersey. The landfill consists of an
"onsite" and an "offsite" portion. The onsite portion is a formerly active
landfilling area that consists of a slurry wall/synthetic membrane
containment system. This portion was addressed in a previous remedial
action. A separate previous remedial action focused on flushing water-
transportable contaminants from within the containment system. This
remedial action addresses the offsite portion of the site which is the area
outside of the encapsulation system consisting of agricultural and
residential areas that include several lakes, streams, and parks. The site
is bordered by the Zee Orchard on the north and west, and a housing
development on the northeast. The site property was purchased by Mr.
Nicholas Lipari in 1958 and was used until 1971 for excavation of sand and
gravel and landfilling of municipal and household wastes, liquid and
semi-solid chemical wastes, and other industrial wastes. Offsite
investigations indicate that lakes, streams, and marshland in the area
surrounding the site have been impacted by contaminant migration from the
landfill. The primary contaminants of concern affecting the ground water,
surface water, sediments, soil and air are VOCs including benzene, toluene,
and xylene, and metals including arsenic, chromium, and lead.
The selected remedial action for the offsite areas includes: collection
of the contaminated ground water/leachate, followed by onsite treatment and
discharge to POTW; excavation of contaminated marsh soil, and dredging and
dewatering contaminated sediments, followed by thermal treatment and offsite
disposal as nonhazardous material; integration of offsite sampling with the
onsite monitoring plan being developed to monitor the effectiveness of the
onsite flushing action; and temporary remedial measures in the surrounding
marshland, if necessary, to mitigate volatile emissions from leachate
seepage areas. The estimated present worth cost for this remedial action is
$21,000,000. O&M costs were not provided.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; Soil cleanup will attain the New Jersey
soil cleanup objectives developed under the Environmental Cleanup and
Responsibility Act (ECRA) and health or risk-based criteria. Surface water
cleanup will meet Federal and State Water Quality Criteria and surface water
standards. Individual contaminant goals were not provided.

LOVE CANAL, NY
Second Remedial Action
October 26, 1987
ROD ABSTRACT
The Love Canal site is located in the southeast corner of the city of
Niagara Falls, New York and is approximately one-quarter mile north of the
Niagara River. The canal was one of two initial excavations designed to
provide inexpensive hydroelectric power for industrial development around
the turn of the 20th century. Hooker Chemicals and Plastics Corporation
(Hooker), now Occidental Chemical Corporation, disposed of over 21,000 tons
of chemical wastes, including dioxin tainted trichlorophenols, into Love
Canal between 1942 and 1953. In the mid to late 1970s, continued periods of
high precipitation contributed to water accumulation in the disposal area
causing chemically-contaminated leachate to be carried to the surface and
into contact with residential basement foundations. Also, dioxin and other
contaminants migrated from Love Canal to the sewers which have outfalls to
nearby creeks. The remedial program at Love Canal has been extensive and
has occurred in two phases. Phase one consisted of measures aimed at site
containment. Phase two has been directed at remediating contaminated
drainage tracts, including nearby creek and sewer sediments are contaminated
with 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin, commonly referred to as dioxin.
The 1985 remedial action called for the removal of contaminated sediments
from the creeks and sewers, followed by interim storage in an on-site
containment facility. This remedial action requires the removal of
approximately 15,000 yd^ and 1,000 yd^ of creek and sewer sediments
respectively, as well as associated contaminated debris from remediation.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: construction of an
onsite creek sediments dewatering/containment facility (DCF) to include a
separate construction/demolition debris facility (CDF); onsite thermal
destruction of the stored creek and sewer sediments and associated remedial
waste stored in the DCF; thermal destruction of leachate treatment residuals
and other dioxin contaminated material derived from site remediations;
onsite storage of uncontaminated debris in the CDF; onsite disposal of
non-hazardous thermal treatment residuals in a manner that avoids
disturbance of the existing cap; and scaling down of the DCF to only include
the construction/demolition debris material. An estimated 25,000-35,000
yd^ of dioxin contaminated material will require thermal destruction. The
estimated present worth cost for this remedial action ranges from
$26,400,000 to $31,400,000.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; The Centers for Disease Control have
generally applied a 1 ug/kg level of concern for dioxin in residential soils
for other areas in the country. A technical review determined that
separation and consolidation of the dioxin-contaminated sediments above
1 ug/kg is not implementable and would lead to unacceptable project delays.
In addition, the community is opposed to any remedial alternative that does
not call for thermal destruction of all the contaminated creek and sewer
sediments. As a result, all materials (excluding 5,500 yd^ of house

debris) will be thermally treated. Six nines (99.9999%) destruction and
removal efficiency will be the performance standard. In addition,
excavation to approximately 18 inches will ensure the elimination or
reduction of risk. (Creek sediment contamination only detected to a depth
of 12 inches).

LOVE CANAL/93rd STREET SCHOOL, NY
Third Remedial Action
September 26, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Love Canal/93rd Street School site consists of approximately 19 acres
and includes a school and an adjacent vacant lot. The site is located in
Niagara Falls, New York, less than one mile northwest of Love Canal and is
within the Love Canal Emergency Declaration Area. It is bordered by
Bergholtz Creek to the north and residential properties to the east, west and
south. A small area east of the school and adjacent to Bergholtz Creek is
within a 100-year flood plain. Hooker Chemicals and Plastics Corporation
disposed of over 21,000 tons of various chemicals at the Love Canal site from
1942 to 1953, when the site was deeded over to the City of Niagara Falls
Board of Education. Sampling has revealed that approximately 6,000 yd3 of
soil are contaminated. During the 1950s, home construction accelerated in
the area. Specifically, in 1950, the 93rd Street School was built, and in
1954, the 99th Street School was built adjacent to the middle portion of the
Canal. Prior to construction of the 93rd Street School, a drainage , swale
crossed the site. Between 1938 and 1951, the swale was partially filled with
soil and rock debris, followed by sand and fly ash materials. In 1954, the
site was graded to its present contours with approximately 3,000 yd3 of
fill material, including fill from the 99th Street School. The fill material
is reported to contain fly ash and BHC (pesticide) waste. In 1980, the 93rd
Street school was closed due to public health concerns related to the
potentially contaminated fill material. The primary contaminants of concern
affecting soil are VOCs, including toluene and xylenes, other organics
including dioxins, PAHs and pesticides, and metals including arsenic and lead.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: excavation and
solidification/stabilization of 7,500 yd3 of soil; placement of solidified
soil back in excavated location; installation of a RCRA cap; ground water
monitoring; and implementation of treatability studies for solidification
process. The estimated capital cost for this remedial action is ,$2,295,000
to $3,675,000 with estimated annual O&M of $121,000.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; This remedy will permanently immobilize soil
which poses an unacceptable carcinogenic risk. Specifically, all excavated
soil will be treated to meet the Land Disposal Restrictions requirements for
dioxin of less than 1 ug/1, as measured in the soil leachate by the TCLP test.

LUDLOW SAND AND GRAVEL, NY
First Remedial Action
September 30, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Ludlow Sand and Gravel site is located approximately six miles south
of Utica, in the town of Paris, Oneida County, New York. The site consists
of (a gravel pit and landfill on a 130-acre tract of land, owned and operated
by Mr. James Ludlow. It is surrounded by rural residential and agricultural
land and includes a New York State designated wetland south and east of the
fill area. The landfill, which is the focus of this ROD, is in a ground
'water recharge zone to the principal aquifer along Sauquoit Creek. Fill
material is in contact with the ground water in some locations in the
landfill. Sauquoit Creek serves as a major discharge point for ground water
flowing from this aquifer. Various organizations and individuals have
disposed of waste at the site since 1966. This waste included domestic
wastes, septic tank effluent, industrial wastes such as dyes, waste oils and
metallurgical cooling oils, and animal parts from a meat processing plant.
In late 1982, sampling revealed traces of PCB contamination in the leachate
pools on the southern portion of the property. In July 1987, the District
Court of Binghamton ordered Mr. Ludlow to cease operations at the site. Mr.
Ludlow complied with the court order and closed the landfill by February 15,
1988. The primary contaminants of concern affecting soil, sediments and
ground water are VOCs including benzene and toluene and organics including
PCBs and phenols.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: consolidation and
onsite disposal into the landfill of approximately 10,000 yd3 of
contaminated soil and sediment adjacent to the landfill, and installation of
an impermeable cover over the landfill; collection of leachate from seepage
areas formed from the landfill and dewatering of the landfill through use of
a passive drain system or an active well system with onsite treatment of the
collected leachate/ground water and offsite discharge of the effluent, or,
if dewatering is not implemented, collection and transportation of leachate
offsite to a permitted disposal facility; implementation of upgradient
ground water controls to lower and prevent the ground water table from
coming in contact with the waste material; access restrictions; imposition
of deed restrictions governing future use of the property; and
implementation of a long-term water quality monitoring program including
both onsite and offsite ground water, surface water and potable water supply
wells. A second remedial action will address ground water remediation, if
necessary. This remedial action is a combination of three alternative
remedies. The present worth is estimated to be between $3,727,200 and
$14,548,900 with an annual O&M between $58,900 and $364,900.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; Treated effluent for discharge will meet
substantive requirements of the New York State Pollution Discharge
Elimination System (6 NYCRR Parts 750-757 and 701.5), Technical Operations
Guidance Series (700 1.1.1), Ambient Water Quality Standards and Guidance

MARATHON BATTERY, NY
Second Remedial Action
September 30, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Marathon Battery Company (MBC) site, a former battery manufacturing
plant, is located in the Village of Cold Spring in Putnam, New York,
approximately 40 miles north of New York City. The area surrounding the
site includes the Hudson River to the west, residential areas to the
northwest, west, and southwest adjacent to the site, and wetlands including
Foundry Cove, which is divided into East Foundry Cove (EFC) and West Foundry
Cove, to the south. The site operated from 1952 to 1979 producing military
and commercial batteries. During this time the site changed ownership
several times, finally operating as the MBC from 1969 to 1979. Before 1965,
the plant's wastewater treatment system discharged into the Hudson River at
the Cold Spring pier via the Cold Spring sewer system, except during periods
of overload or system shutdown during which time the process effluent was
discharged directly into East Foundry Cove Marsh (EFCM) to the southeast.
In 1965, however, the plant began discharging all of the process effluent
into EFCM after the New York State Department of Health concluded that the
industrial discharge could not be managed by a new sewage treatment system
proposed for the Village of Cold Spring. Between November 1972 and July
1973, a limited cleanup was conducted by MBC and other responsible parties,
to remove sediment from parts of Foundry Cove and surrounding areas
contaminated with cadmium and nickel in excess of 900 mg/kg. Approximately
5,000 yd-* of cadmium-contaminated sediments were dredged and subsequently
placed in a clay-lined underground vault on the plant property. However,
studies conducted in Foundry Cove between 1976 to 1980 continued to detect
cadmium and nickel concentrations in excess of 900 mg/kg. To expedite
remediation, the site has been divided into three separate geographic areas
as follows: Area I, EFCM and Constitution Marsh southeast of the plant;
Area II, the 11-acre former battery plant grounds, including the former
battery manufacturing facility (presently used as a book repository), a
production well, a 500,000 gallon water tower, building debris, a dredge
spoils vault, a parking lot, and nearby residential yards; and Area III, EFC
and the portion of the Hudson River in the vicinity of the wastewater
discharge pipe on Cold Spring pier. A ROD was signed for Area I in
September 1986 with cleanup activities to include dredging the EFCM and
replacing the sediments with clay and clean fill. This ROD addresses Area
II including localized soil contamination primarily in the area around the
building, under debris, and around the parking lot; dust inside the
building; and the sludge spoils vault. A subsequent ROD will address Area
III. The primary contaminants of concern affecting the ground water, soil,
debris, and inside surfaces of a building in Area II are: VOCs including
PCE and TCE, and metals including cadmium and nickel.
The selected remedial action for Area II at this site includes:
decontamination of the inside surfaces and contents of the former battery
facility to remove the heavy metal-contaminated dust; excavation of both the
cadmium-contaminated soil on the battery plant grounds and nearby
residential yards, and the dredge spoils vault, followed by onsite fixation

(Continued)
of the excavated soil, dust, and vault sediments and offsite disposal;
excavation of the VOC-contaminated soil hotspots followed by enhanced
volatilization and replacement of the clean residuals onsite; backfilling of
the excavation areas with clean fill; institutional controls; ground water
monitoring; and evaluation and performance of minor repairs, if needed, to
the inoperable sprinkler and heating systems inside the former battery
facility. The estimated present worth cost for this remedial action is
$10,010,000, with annual O&M of $775,000 (year 1) and $17,000 (years 2-30).
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; Ground water cleanup goals will attain ACLs
for indicator compounds that are below federal and state MCLs, if available,
and include PCE 0 ug/1 and TCE 3 ug/1. These goals will be attained in
3-10 years by natural attenuation. There are no ARARs promulgated for heavy
metals; however, excavation of onsite and offsite cadmium-contaminated soils
will attain a level of 20 mg/kg.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS; Institutional controls will be implemented to
restrict the development of the aquifer for potable or municipal use.

MONTGOMERY TOWNSHIP HOUSING DEVELOPMENT, NJ
Second Remedial Action - Final
June 30, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Montgomery Township Housing Development (MTHD) site is located in
Somerset County, New Jersey. The Rocky Hill Municipal Wellfield (RHMW)
Superfund site is also covered by this remedial action because of its
proximity to the MTHD and the similarity of the contaminants present. The
72-acre MTHD site is a development which includes 71 private homes, with an
additional 6 homes affected by the contamination in the surrounding
residential areas. The RHMW consists of a two-acre tract of land in the
Borough of Rocky Hill, which supplies public water to the residents of Rocky
Hill. In 1978, a study of the RHMW revealed TCE contamination, which led to
closure of one well and eventual installation of an air stripping treatment
unit on the well in 1983. Concern over the ground water contamination in
Rocky Hill spurred the initial sampling of residential wells in MTHD from
December 1979 to January 1980. In March 1981, Elizabethtown Water Company
water lines were installed in MTHD, and residents were advised not to use
well water. Twenty homes initially elected to connect to the municipal
supply, and at the present time 38 residences have hooked up. In September
1987, an operable unit ROD was signed by EPA, which provided for the supply
of alternate water through the permanent hookup of all MTHD residences, and
six residences outside of MTHD, to the available public water supply
system. Field investigations have identified 13 possible sources of
contamination. The nearby Princeton Gamma Tech property has been identified
as a primary source of TCE contamination in the area. The primary
contaminant of concern affecting the ground water is TCE.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: ground water pump
and treatment using air stripping and reinjection of the treated water back
into the aquifer; connecting any remaining affected residences to the public
water supply and sealing of remaining private water supply and monitoring
wells within the contaminant plume; and implementation of ground water
monitoring. Present worth cost for this remedial action is $2,548,000 with
annual O&M costs of $94,000.

NASCOLITE, NJ
First Remedial Action
March 31, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Nascolite site is located in the cities of Millville and Vineland,
Cumberland County, New Jersey. The 17.5-acre site is wooded and is in a
residentially and industrially zoned area. Several homes exist near the
site and rely on potable wells for drinking water. Between 1953 and 1980,
the Nascolite Corporation manufactured polymethyl methacrylate (MMA) sheets,
commmonly known as plexiglass. Waste residues from the distillation of
scrap acrylic, a manufacturing by-product, were stored in buried tanks
onsite. Perforations in an excavated tank indicated the possibility of
liquid waste leaking into the soils. In 1981 and 1983, the New Jersey
Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) conducted onsite ground water
sampling and found significant concentrations of VOCs. NJDEP identified
over 100 fifty-five gallon drums and several buried tanks on the site, most
of which have been subsequently removed from the site by the property
owner. The remaining drums were removed by EPA. The primary contaminants
of concern affecting both ground water and soil include: VOCs,
base/neutrals, and MMA.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: ground water pump
and treatment using a method determined through pilot testing with
reinjection into the aquifer; performance of additional soil and onsite
building studies to determine appropriate future remedial measures; and
provision of an alternate water supply for potentially affected residents.
The estimated captial cost for this remedial action is $609,000 with annual
OSM of $266,000.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; The ROD did not state specific target
concentrations for contaminants; however, it indicated that cleanup goals
were developed using the Clean Water Act, Safe Drinking Water Act, Solid
Waste Disposal Act, New Jersey Safe Drinking Water Act, and the Ground Water
Quality Criteria of the New Jersey Administrative Code. Additionally, for
carcinogenic compounds without cleanup standards, the 10~^ cancer risk
cleanup standard will be used. A goal of 50 ug/1 total noncarcinogenic and
"non-A-280" compounds were selected for any other contaminants.

OLD BETHPAGE, NY
First Remedial Action - Final
March 17, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Old Bethpage landfill, covering approximately 65 acres, is located
in Old Bethpage, Town of Oyster Bay, Nassau Country, New York. Two public
drinking water wells, a residential community, an industrial park, and a
state park, exist within the site's general vicinity. Beginning in 1958,
the Town of Oyster Bay operated the landfill as a municipal landfill. In
addition to accepting municipal wastes and garbage, local industrial wastes
were disposed of on the landfill during the late 1960s and early 1970s. The
landfill ceased operations in April 1986. A system designed to collect,
store, treat, and dispose of leachate has been operating at the site since
1983. There are three remedial actions currently underway at the site.
They include: leachate collection, methane gas collection, and landfill
capping. The methane gas collection system was installed in phases in 1982
at the periphery of the site to monitor and prevent migration of gas beyond
the property boundary. The 18-inch thick clay cap was applied to 29 acres
of the landfill. These actions were described in the October 1983
Comprehensive Land Use and Operations Plan prepared in accordance with State
landfill closure regulations. The primary contaminants of concern affecting
ground water include: VOCs, TCE, benzene, toluene, inorganics, chromium,
and lead. Air is contaminated with methane gas and VOCs.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: hydraulic control
of the plume through installation of ground water recovery wells; ground
water pump and" treatment using air stripping and, if necessary, carbon
filtration with discharge into an upgradient injection well system; ground
water monitoring; completion of the landfill capping (29 acres previously
capped); continuation and expansion, or enhancement of the leachate control
and gas collection systems; and gas monitoring. The estimated present worth
cost of this remedial action is $23,045,000.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; The plume will be cleaned to New York State
Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) Standards and Guidances,
and Technical and Operational Guidance Series, or to a zero-slope condition,
if one exists following 5 or more years of pumping and the application of
requisite remedial technology. If additional compounds should be detected
(currently 17 inorganics and 25 VOCs specified), the most stringent of the
requirements obtained from these sources shall apply. For any VOC without a
State value, the applicable limit shall be 50 ug/1. Some individual goals
for ground water include: chromium 0.05 mg/1, lead 0.025 mg/1, TCE 5.0 mg/1
(MCL), benzene-non-detectable, and toluene 50 mg/1. Air discharge
requirements will meet NYSDEC Air Guide No. 1. If more stringent Federal
National Ambient Air Quality Standards are promulgate, the more stringent
standard shall apply. Some individual goals for air (currently 27
specified) include: methylene chloride 1.17 x 103 ug/m3, TCE 9.0 x
102 ug/m3, benzene 1.0 x 102 ug/m3, and toluene 7.5 x 103 ug/m3.

REICH FARM, NJ
First Remedial Action - Final
September 30, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Reich Farm site is located in Dover Township, Ocean County, New
Jersey. The three-acre site is bounded by commercial establishments to the
west and wooded areas in all other directions. The site is approximately
one mile northeast of the Toms River, but no floodplains or wetlands are
affected by the site. The site is currently owned by Mr. and Mrs. Samuel
Reich. In August 1971, they rented a portion of their land to Mr. Nicholas
Fernicola for temporary storage of used 55-gallon drums. That December, the
Reichs discovered approximately 4,500 drums containing wastes and 450 empty
drums on that portion of their property. Most of the drums had Union
Carbide Corporation (UCC) markings on them, with labels reading "tar pitch,"
"lab waste solvent," "blend of resin and oil," and "solvent wash of process
stream" among others. The site first came to the attention of the New
Jersey Superior Court when the Reichs filed suit against Mr. Fernicola and
UCC. UCC undertook drum removal and completed the work in March 1972. In
June 1974, another 51 drums and approximately 1,100 yd3 of contaminated
soil and trenched wastes were removed from the site, but residents near the
site had already complained about unusual taste and odor in their well
water. Based on results of an extensive sampling program, the Dover
Township Board of Health ordered 148 private wells closed and established a
zoning ordinance restricting ground water use in the area of Reich Farm.
The volume of contaminated soil remaining at the site is estimated to be
2,010 yd3. The primary contaminants of concern affecting the ground water
and soils are VOCs including 1,1,1-trichloroethane (TCA), TCE, PCE, and
semi-volatile organics compounds (SVOCs).
The selected remedial action for this site includes: additional ground
water sampling to further delineate the leading edge of the contaminant
plume and additional soil sampling to support existing data on contaminants
of concern at the site; ground water pump and treatment using air stripping
and carbon adsorption with reinjection of the treated water back into the
aquifer; excavation and storage of surface soils onsite which do not require
remediation; excavation of subsurface soils and onsite treatment by enhanced
volatilization and onsite disposal, or shipment of subsurface soils which
cannot be treated onsite to an offsite RCRA-permitted facility for
incineration and disposal, followed by backfilling excavated areas with
clean surface soils. The estimated present worth cost for this remedial
action is $5,832,000, which includes annual O&M costs of $419,550.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; The cleanup objectives for ground water
will meet the more stringent State of New Jersey MCLs for TCA 26 ug/1, TCE
1 ug/1, and PCE 1 ug/1. Cleanup objectives for the soil remediation will
meet the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection Soil Action
Levels of 1 mg/kg total VOCs and 10 mg/kg SVOCs.

RINGWOOD MINES/LANDFILL, NJ
First Remedial Action - Final
September 29, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Ringwood Mines/Landfill site consists of approximately 500 acres in
a historic mining district in Ringwood Borough, Passaic County, New Jersey.
The mines lie west of and adjacent to the Town of Ringwood and one mile
northwest of Wanaque Reservoir. The site is characterized by a variety of
features including abandoned mine shafts and surface pits, an inactive
landfill, an industrial refuse disposal area, small surficial dumps, a
municipal recycling area, a municipal garage, and approximately 50
residences. Ground water beneath the site discharges to surface streams and
the Wanaque Reservoir. The Ringwood mines are a series of iron ore mines
that operated from the mid-1700s to the early 1900s and possibly even
later. The site was purchased by the U.S. Government prior to 1940, and
later sold to a succession of owners including Ringwood Realty Corporation
(RRC), a subsidiary of Ford Motor Company (Ford), in January 1965. Between
1967 and 1974, RRC deposited waste products for Ford, including car parts,
solvents, and paint sludges, on the ground surface and in abandoned mine
shafts. In 1970, RRC donated 290 acres in the southern portion of the site
to Ringwood Solid Waste Management Authority (RSWM), which began operating a
permitted municipal disposal area in March 1972. In 1976, the New Jersey
Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) closed the landfill after
determining that leachate emanating from the landfill was contaminating
surface water in the area. In July 1982, NJDEP detected moderate levels of
VOCs, as well as naturally occurring heavy metals, in ground water in the
northern section of the site, which had been retained by RRC and a portion
used for industrial waste disposal. The site was subsequently divided into
four discrete areas for investigation. Between October 1987 and February
1988, Ford International Services, Inc. conducted a removal action,
entailing excavation and offsite disposal of 7,000 yd3 of surficial paint
sludge containing lead and arsenic from four onsite areas. Subsequent
sampling, however, indicated that soil within a small area (less than
one acre) still contains concentrations of lead and total petroleum
hydrocarbons in excess of health-based levels. Furthermore, there is
sporadic and moderate ground water contamination, generally confined to
paint sludge locations, exceeding MCLs for lead and arsenic. The primary
contaminants of concern affecting the soil and ground water are arsenic,
lead, and petroleum hydrocarbons.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: confirmatory
sampling of soil with excavation and offsite disposal of any soil exceeding
health-based levels, followed by backfilling and revegetation; and ground
water, surface water and wetlands monitoring. Since ground water in the
vicinity of the paint sludge areas in not used as a drinking water source
and natural attenuation is expected to reduce contamination levels of below
health based levels after removal of the source, ground water will not be
treated. The estimated capital cost for this remedial action is $225,000
with annual O&M of $50,000.

ROCKY HILL, NJ
First Remedial Action - Final
June 30, 1988
The 2-acre Rocky Hill Municipal Well Field site (RHMW) is located in
Montgomery Township, Somerset County, New Jersey. Montgomery Township
Housing Development (MTHD), located north of the well field contains 77
private homes. RHMW is listed on both the State and National Registers of
Historic Places. Additionally, a nearby corridor has a potential for
archaeological significance. Two wells, numbered 1 and 2, were constructed
in 1936 to provide a source of potable water to the Borough of Rocky Hill
(BRH). A 1978 Rutgers University study revealed TCE contamination levels in
Well 1, and it was abandoned and sealed by 1978. Further testing, conducted
between 1978 and 1983 revealed cycles of elevated levels of TCE in Well 2.
It was closed in November 1979. Declining levels of TCE in the well field
resulted in the reopening of the well; however, levels increased and the
well was again closed in January of 1982. During the shutdown of Well 2,
BRH obtained potable water from the privately-owned Elizabethtown Water
Company. After the installation of two air stripping units by the borough,
Well 2 reopened as a potable water source. Recently, 38 MTHD residents
elected to connect to the municipal supply. The first operable unit ROD,
signed in September 1987, provided for the supply of alternate water through
the permanent hookup of all remaining MTHD residences and 6 residences
outside of MTHD. Approximately 13 possible sources of contamination are
under evaluation. TCE is the most predominant site contaminant, both with
respect to concentration and areal extent. Several additional components
such as chlordane and metals are sporadically present; however, these
compounds were not considered to be related to the TCE contamination.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: ground water pump
and treatment using air stripping with reinjection; connection of any
remaining affected residences to the public water supply; sealing remaining
private water supply and monitoring wells within the contamination plume;
and implementation of ground water sampling program to monitor the
effectiveness of the cleanup. The estimated capital cost for this remedial
action is $1,618,000 with annual O&M of $84,000.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; The objective of remediation is to reduce
the entire ground water concentration of TCE to 1 ug/1. This level is a
proposed New Jersey MCL which is expected to be promulgated in the near
future. It is being used in place of the federal MCL of 5 ug/1. PCE and
1,1-dichloroethene will be reduced to below 1 ug/1 and 2 ug/1,
respectively. The remedy will meet a 0.12 x 10~6 excess cancer risk level.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS; In January 1986, the New Jersey Department of
Environmental Protection, Division of Water Resources, placed a restriction
on future well drilling for water supply wells in the area.

TABERNACLE DRUM DUMP, NJ
First Remedial Action - Final
June 30, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Tabernacle Drum Dump (TDD) site is a one-acre parcel of undeveloped
land located in Tabernacle Township, Burlington County, New Jersey. Drum
disposal activities, which resulted in contamination by hazardous
substances, occurred on a 2,000 ft2 area portion of the site. Land use in
the area consists mainly of woodland, bogs, agriculture, and recreation.
The soils typically found in the area are highly permeable, sandy, and
acidic. Approximately 75 to 100 residents live within a one-mile radius of
the site. Most of the residents located down-gradient of the site depend on
individual residential wells for potable and agricultural purposes. TDD is
currently owned by Mr. and Mrs. Phillip Myers. In 1976 and 1977, the
property was occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Robert Ware. During that period, Mr.
Ware's employer, the Atlantic Disposal Services (ADS), disposed of
approximately 200 containers, including fifty-five gallon drums, twenty
gallon containers, and five gallon paint cans. These containers were stored
at the site between 1977 to 1984. Deterioration and leakage of some
containers resulted in visible soil contamination and ultimately ground
water contamination. Based on a referral from Tabernacle Township
officials, the Burlington County Health Department conducted a site
inspection in August 1982, and discovered over 100 abandoned drums. In
November 1982, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP)
conducted a more detailed site inspection. Leaking and deteriorated drums
containing solvents, paint sludges, heavy metals, and visibly contaminated
surface soils were revealed. In 1984, EPA issued an administrative order to
ADS requiring it to perform a surface cleanup of the site, install and
sample four monitoring wells, and sample and analyze site surface and
subsurface soils for priority pollutants. During April 1984, ADS initiated
some remedial measures including the numbering, logging, and sampling of
site containers. Surface cleanup was completed in July 1984 and consisted
of removing containers, 40 yd3 of drum material, 8 truck loads of
excavated soil, and approximately 3,000 gallons of liquid material. The
principle threat posed at the site is potential ingestion of ground water by
down-gradient residents. The primary contaminants of concern are VOCs
including 1,1,1-trichloroethane (TCA) and 1,1-dichloroethene (DCE).
The selected remedial action for this site includes: installation of
ground water monitoring wells to further delineate the extent of the plume
and implementation of a monitoring program for downgradient residential
wells; ground water pump and treatment using air stripping and possibly
carbon adsorption followed by reinjection, ground water monitoring, and
exhaust gas analysis; and soil sampling of the former drum dumping and
storage area. The estimated capital cost for this remedial action is
$772,600 with present worth O&M of $215,600.

UPJOHN MANUFACTURING COMPANY, PR
First Remedial Action - Final
September 30, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Upjohn Manufacturing Company (UMC) site is located in the
Barceloneta industrial park on the north coast of Puerto Rico. Land use in
the surrounding area is industrial, agricultural, and rural residential.
The site is in a sparsely populated rural region and lies above the island's
largest aquifer, which serves as a source of drinking water for over 12,000
area residents. In addition, the aquifer discharges to a wetland area to
the north, which supports a large aquatic and bird population. The site
lies in a limestone region characterized by karst terrain developed by
dissolution of the existing limestone formations, and typified by closed
depressions, sinkholes, and subsurface conduits. Between August and
September 1982, UMC dispatched approximately 15,300 gallons of a
manufacturing by-product waste mixture estimated to be comprised of 65
percent carbon tetrachloride and 35 percent acetonitrile to a leaking
underground storage tank (UST), resulting in the release of all of the waste
into the ground. Investigation by UMC determined that carbon tetrachloride
contamination had migrated offsite approximately 2 miles to the north and
occupied an area of about 2.1 mi2. Consequently, five local water supply
wells were closed in 1982 due to the potential for carbon tetrachloride
contamination, and UMC provided a permanent alternate water supply to
users. In 1983, UMC began implementing remedial actions to remove carbon
tetrachloride from the soil and ground water: this included the
installation and operation of a vacuum extraction system until March 1988;
ground water pumpage from the AH Robins well adjacent to and north of the
site until 1985; installation and operation of a second ground water
contaminant recovery extraction well, UE-1, on the UMC facility in 1984,
with air stripping and residual discharge to a sinkhole; and placement of a
concrete cap over the tank farm. In 1987, because of residual ground water
contamination that has remained both on and offsite, EPA ordered UMC to
continue its remedial activities including resuming operation of the vacuum
extraction system, pumping extraction well UE-1, and ground water
monitoring, as well as determining the feasibility of restoring all or
portions of the aquifer to health-based levels. This ROD addresses the
residual ground water contamination resulting from the 1982 UST leak at the
UMC facility. The possibility of residual contamination in the soil as a
continuing source of carbon tetrachloride contamination in the ground water
will be addressed by the EPA RCRA program and will not be a part of this
remedial action. The primary contaminant of concern affecting the ground
water is carbon tetrachloride.
The selected remedial
and treatment from the UE
followed by discharge of
water pump and treatment
followed by distribution
operation of two to four
stripping and recharge to
action for this site includes: ground water pump
-1 and AH Robins wells using air-stripping,

using air stripping from the public supply well
to the public water supply system; installation and
additional offsite extraction wells with air

monitoring wells near the coastline to monitor potential salt-water
encroachment; and long-term ground water monitoring. Because it is not
known whether contaminant levels in the aquifer can be reduced to the MCL,
EPA will re-evaluate this remedy within five years of operation to determine
the allowable contaminant levels that must be met before the extraction
wells are shut down. If a decision is made that any portion of the aquifer
will not be restored, a waiver from the MCL for reasons of technical
impracticability will be evaluated at that time. The estimated capital cost
for this interim remedial action is $2,200,000-$6,200,000 with annual O&M of
$400,000-$700,000.

YORK OIL, NY
First Remedial Action
February 9, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The York Oil Company site, encompassing 17 acres, is located in the
Hamlet of Moira, Franklin County, New York. Wetlands and woodlands are the
principal land use in the vicinity of the site. Residences exist along the
main roads interspersed with active/inactive agricultural and pasture land.
The now dissolved York Oil Company operated a waste oil recycling facility
from approximately 1964 to 1977. Crankcase industrial oils, with some
containing PCBs, were collected from sources throughout New England and New
York, then stored and/or processed at the site in eight above-ground storage
tanks, a series of three earthen-damned settling lagoons, and at least one
below-ground storage tank. The recycled PCB-contaminated oil was either
sold as No. 2 fuel oil or used in dust control for the unpaved roads in the
vicinity of the site. During heavy rains and spring thaws, the oil-water
emulsion from the lagoons would often overflow onto the surrounding lands.
In 1964, in lieu of paying damages to adjacent farm-owners, the oil company
purchased land in the area of the spills. The York Oil site contamination
was first discovered in 1979 by a New York State Department of
Transportation road crew, who then notified the New York State Department of
Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC). Several interim actions have been
undertaken at the site to contain the PCB-contamination problem. Currently,
soils, sediments, ground water, and surface water are contaminated with
PCBs, VOCs, metals, and phenols.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: excavation of
approximately 22,000 yd3 of contaminated soil and approximately 8,000
yd^ of contaminated sediments with onsite solidification followed by
onsite disposal of treatment residuals; installation of deep ground water
drawdown wells and shallow dewatering wells to collect the sinking
contaminant plume and the oil during excavation, with onsite treatment and
subsequent discharge in accordance with New York State discharge
requirements; offsite thermal treatment of approximately 25,000 gallons of
contaminated tank oils in addition to other oils collected at the site;
cleaning and demolition of the empty storage tanks; and grading.
Treatability studies will be conducted during remedial design to determine
the effectiveness of the solidification process in meeting specified
treatment levels and to determine the optimal treatment system for ground
water. The estimated capital cost for this remedial action is $6,500,000
with present worth O&M of $500,000.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; The cleanup level for PCBs in soil of
10 mg/kg was derived based on the current New York State goal to clean up
uncontrolled PCB sites in residential areas to a level less than 10 mg/kg,
and on the Toxic Substances Control Act PCB Spill Clean Policy which states
that "PCB spills in residential areas ... [should] ... be remediated to
10 mg/kg." The clean level for total phenols in ground water is 100 ug/1 in
accordance with New York State Ambient Water Quality Guidelines.

'ALADDIN PLATING, PA
First Remedial Action
September 21, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The two-acre Aladdin Plating site is a former electroplating facility
located in Scott and Abington Townships, Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania,
approximately 1.5 miles north of the Town of Chinchilla. The area
surrounding the site is wooded, with 4 residences within 100 yards and about
120 people living within a 0.25 mile radius. Approximately 11,000 people
within 3 miles of the site use domestic and public ground water wells for
drinking water. Site runoff flows northwest toward Leggetts Creek, a
principal tributary of Griffin Pond Reservoir. Leggetts Creek and Griffin
Pond are sources of supplemental drinking water for more than 100,000
people. The nearest residential well is less than 1,500 feet from the site.
Aladdin Plating conducted electroplating operations from 1947 to 1982.
Hazardous materials used in operations include sulphuric acid, chromic acid,
cyanide/ chromium, and other heavy metals. For 35 years, electroplating
waste effluents containing heavy metals and other contaminants were
discharged via a ditch and underground pipes to a shallow surface lagoon near
the electroplating building. A fire destroyed the facility and ended
operations in 1982. Three source areas of contamination have been
identified: the site of the former plating facility building, a buried
trench (presumably the building's floor drain), and the lagoon. In 1983,
chromium was detected in onsite soils. Subsequent testing by EPA in 1984
also identified lead and cyanide in onsite soils. In addition, ground water
samples from onsite monitoring wells showed significant levels of arsenic,
cadmium, chromium, and lead; all exceeded their respective MCLs. In March
1987, EPA performed emergency response activities to remove significant
immediate health threats. These responses included fencing contaminated
zones and removing drums and vats containing hazardous wastes. This response
action addresses only the remediation of the contaminated soil onsite. The
ground water contamination will be addressed in a subsequent remedial
action. The primary contaminants of concern affecting the soil and ground
water are arsenic, chromium, and lead.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: excavation and
offsite stabilization of approximately 12,000 yd3 of contaminated soil,
with disposal of the treated soil in an offsite landfill and replacement of
the excavated soil with clean fill. The estimated present worth cost for
this remedial action is $4,461,000 with no associated O&M costs.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; Soils will be excavated to a depth where
chromium contamination is 50 mg/kg or less.

AMBLER ASBESTOS PILES, PA
First Remedial Action
September 30, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Ambler Asbestos Piles site is located in the southwestern portion of
the Borough of Ambler, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. Land around the
site is used for industrial, residential, commercial, and transportation
purposes. The site is bordered on the west by Wissahickon Creek and its
flood plain. A low density housing development lies to the southwest. The
site consists of four distinct areas of asbestos contamination: the Locust
Street Pile, the Plant Pile, the Pipe Plant Dump, and the asbestos settling
basins/filter bed lagoons. The waste piles of concern in this operable unit
are the Locust Street Pile and the Plant Pile. Within a 0.25 mile radius of
the Locust Street Pile are approximately 40 residences and a public
playground that was closed in 1984. The K&M Company owned and operated the
site from the late 1800s to 1962, and produced asbestos products such as
paper, millboard, electrical insulation, linings, conveyor belts, and high
pressure peckings-. The primary wastes generated and disposed of in the
Locust Street and Plant Piles during that period were spent
magnesium/calcium (from pharmaceutical operations) and asbestos process
waste. In 1962, Certainteed Corporation purchased a portion of the site and
facilities from K&M and manufactured asbestos-cement pipe at the plant.
Nicolet Industries, Inc. purchased the remainder of the site and
manufactured asbestos millboard and monolithic products. The Locust Street
Pile continued to receive asbestos waste from Nicolet until sometime after
1964; however, waste continued to be deposited on the Plant Pile until
1980. EPA and the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources
conducted their first investigation of the site in 1971, noting visible
emissions and substantial dust concentrations attributed to asbestos.
Subsequent investigations of the surface water, bulk waste samples and air
samples in 1983 revealed asbestos contamination. In September 1983, the
Centers for Disease Control issued a Public Health Advisory recommending the
closure of the nearby playground. In 1984, EPA implemented emergency
response actions to establish a soil and vegetative cover, install a
drainage system, and provide erosion control measures over the Locust Pile.
In addition, Nicolet had covered the Plant Pile by June 1984. The primary
contaminant of concern affecting the sediments, surface water, and debris is
asbestos.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: installation of a
geotextile and soil cover on the exposed areas of waste piles; erosion
control/repair on waste pile slopes to facilitate vegetation; pump and
treatment (using filters) of surface water from lagoon and settling basins
with onsite discharge, backfilling and regrading lagoon and settling basins
to promote positive drainage, and onsite disposal of collected sediments and
asbestos on the waste piles; implementation of slope stability control
measures, if deemed necessary after testing; installation of gabions or
rip-rap to prevent scouring action of Wissahickon Creek on the waste piles;

AVTEX FIBERS, VA
First Remedial Action
September 30, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The 440-acre Avtex Fibers site is located in Warren County, Front Royal,
Virginia. The facility is bounded to the west and northwest by the
Shenandoah River and to the south, northwest, and east by residential
areas. Approximately 1,300 people live within one mile of the site. The
western part of the site lies within the limits of the Shenandoah River's
100-year floodplain. The Avtex Fibers site has produced rayon fibers since
1940, polyester between 1970 and 1977, and polypropylene since 1985. During
this 48-year period, byproducts from the rayon manufacturing process were
disposed of in onsite surface impoundments. These byproducts included
sodium cellulose xanthate-based viscose and zinc-hydroxide sludge. Fly ash
(from incinerator exhaust air pollution control devices) and boiler house
solids were disposed of in five other surface impoundments. Land disposal
of viscose waste ceased in 1983; since that time, the waste has been routed
directly to an onsite wastewater treatment plant. In 1982, carbon
disulfide, a constituent of viscose waste, was identified in ground water
samples from residential wells located across the Shenandoah River from the
site. In response to the results of a ground water investigation Avtex
implemented interim measures, which included purchasing 23 subdivision
properties on the west side of the river that had contaminated domestic
wells, and initiating a ground water pump and treatment program. This ROD
is the first of two operable units and addresses ground water remediation
and interim remedial measures for the viscose basins responsible for ground
water contamination. A subsequent remedial action will address source
control and viscose basin remediation. The primary contaminants of concern
affecting the ground water are phenols, and metals including arsenic and
lead.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: ground water and
basin liquid pump and treatment in the existing onsite activated sludge
wastewater treatment plant, following completion of necessary upgrades,
modifications, and construction of pretreatment units, with offsite
discharge of treated water to the Shenandoah River; monitoring on- and
offsite ground water, surface water, and basin fluids; and placing deed
restrictions prohibiting the use of ground water on the affected
properties. The estimated present worth cost for this remedial action is
$9,122,000.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; Ground water will be treated to meet MCLs,
EPA References Dose-based water limits. Federal AWQC and State Drinking
Water Standards. Individual goals include phenols 0.3 mg/1 (AWQC), lead
0.05 mg/1 (MCL/VAGWS), and arsenic 0.05 mg/1 (MCL/VAGWC). When the aquifer
restoration goals are attained, the hazard index for ingestion of ground
water will be less than 1 for the noncarcinogen contaminants in the ground
water.

BENDIX, PA
First Remedial Action - Final
September 30, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Bendix site is an aircraft instruments manufacturing plant located
near the Village of South Montrose, Bridgewater Township, Susquehanna County,
Pennsylvania. The 60-acre site is situated in a sparsely populated area
(approximately 500 people) atop a topographic divide between the Meshoppen
Creek and Wyalusing Creek watersheds. Natural ground water discharge areas
exist east of the site in a wetlands area of Meshoppen Creek, and west of the
site at the headwaters of Wyalusing Creek. South Montrose is solely
dependent on private ground water wells for water. The Bendix Corporation
(Bendix) acquired the parcels of land comprising the site in 1951 and 1952,
and was acquired by Allied Corporation (Allied) in 1983, and finally merged
into Allied in 1985; Allied is the current owner of the property. From 1952
to 1958 industrial solvent wastes were disposed of in a lagoon northeast of
the plant, and for several years similar wastes also were disposed of in a
series of onsite small trenches east of the plant. In addition, from the
early 1950s until 1978, an earthen disposal pit installed by Bendix was used
for the disposal of water-soluble cutting oil and oil-contaminated water from
air compressors. The basin was drained of free liquids, backfilled, and
seeded in late 1978. Investigations performed by Bendix from 1984 through
1987 indicated that as a result of past disposal practices, contamination
from subsurface soil has been leaching into the underlying ground water.
Five source areas of contamination have been identified at the site: a TCE
storage tank area, the pet/trench area, an old landfill area, the area of a
former solvent evaporation facility, and a former drum storage area behind
the plant building. Bendix is currently supplying carbon filter units to
users of affected wells. The primary contaminants of concern affecting the
ground water and soil are VOCs including TCE.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: soil vacuum
extraction and soil aeration; onsite ground water pump and treatment with air
stripping; and treatment of offsite ground water contamination through carbon
adsorption at the well heads. The estimated present worth cost for this
remedial action is $4,487,000 with annual O&M costs of $542,000.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; Both on- and offsite ground water cleanup
goals have been set at less than 1 ug/1 TCE. Soil will be cleaned to
100 ug/kg leachable VOCs based on the ground water cleanup goal.

BERKS SAND PIT, PA
First Remedial Action - Final
September 29, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The three to four-acre Berks Sand Pit site is located in Longswamp
Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania. There are at least 20 single family
homes within the investigation area, including one on top of the actual sand
pit. The immediate vicinity of the site is zoned for low density
residential use. The Berks Sand Pit was created by the removal of sand and
gravel, but reportedly was used by area residents for refuse disposal.
Industrial waste also was alleged to have been disposed of in the area
around the pit. Houses were constructed and private wells installed at the
location beginning in 1978, after the pit was backfilled. The site first
came to the attention of EPA in January 1982 when area residents detected
ground water contamination. Emergency actions were undertaken by EPA in the
summer of 1983. The pit was partially excavated and backfilled with clean
fill, but no pocket of contamination was discovered. The primary
contaminants of concern affecting the ground water, surface water, and
sediments are VOCs including 1,1,1-TCA, 1,1-DCA, PCE, and 1,1-DCE.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: excavation of
contaminated sediments with offsite treatment by incineration; ground water
pump and treatment using air stripping and vapor phase carbon absorption
with reinjection of treated water back into the aquifer; provision of an
alternate water supply system, surface and ground water monitoring; and
restrictions to prevent installation of drinking water wells in the
contaminated aquifer. The estimated present worth cost for this remedy is
$10,773,100, with annual O&M costs of $459,200.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; Ground water cleanup goals will attain
health-based MCLs for 1,1,1-TCA 200 ug/1 and 1,1-DCE 7 ug/1. Secondary
target levels, based on published Unit Cancer Risk, will be met for 1,1-DCE
and PCE 1.0 ug/1. Reinjection of treated ground water into the aquifer will
meet Underground Injection Control requirements.

CHISMAN CREEK, VA
Second Operable Unit - Final
March 31, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Chisman Creek site is located near Grafton in York County,
Virginia. This ROD addresses operable unit two, which consists of three
ponds (designated A, B, and C), the freshwater tributary, and the Chisman
Creek estuary. The site is located within the watershed of Chisman Creek, a
tributary of the Chesapeake Bay. Approximately 500 to 1,000 people live
within one mile of the site. Between 1957 and 1974, fly ash from the
Virginia Power Yorktown Power Generating Station was disposed of in four
abandoned sand and gravel borrow pits located approximately two miles south
of the generating station. The fly ash disposal areas, designated Areas A,
B, C, and 'D, became known as the Chisman Creek Superfund site. Between 1971
and 1973, all fly ash in Area D was removed and deposited in Area C. Area D
was reportedly filled with construction rubble generated during the
construction of public utilities in the area at that time. After a domestic
well showed discolored water in 1980, the Virginia State Water Control Board
(SWCB) and Virginia State Board of Health sampled residential ground water
in the vicinity of the fly ash areas to determine the types and
concentrations of contaminants present. The Virginia Institute of Marine
Science and SWCB conducted additional studies to determine the nature and
extent of area contamination. The first operable unit ROD was signed in
September 1986. The remedial action, begun in November 1987, includes:
placing a soil cover on two areas and a clay cap on a third area; relocating
a portion of the tributary; providing an alternate water supply for
residential areas; and post-closure monitoring. At the request of EPA, the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service conducted the second operable unit remedial
investigation to evaluate the impact of contaminants at the site on fish and
wildlife resources and their habitat. Chemical analysis of the physical
environment and biota of the site for operable unit two focused on eight
metals. These were arsenic, cadmium, copper, lead, nickel, selenium,
vanadium, and zinc. The most ubiquitous and abundant metals were nickel and
vanadium. Bioassays showed the surface water quality in Ponds B and C to be
below ARAR levels, and sediment from the Chisman Creek estuary to have no
adverse impacts from the contaminants. Fish from the freshwater ponds and
oysters from Chisman Creek have not been impacted. Human health risks from
consumption of fish and oysters, or accidental ingestion of surface water
and sediments are all within EPA guidelines for acceptable risks. The
primary contaminants of concern affecting surface water in Area A include
nickel and vanadium.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: diversion of
surface runoff from Area A (covered with soil in Operable Unit One) into
Pond A, and water quality monitoring to evaluate the effectiveness of both
operable units. The estimated present worth cost for this remedial action
is $137,000.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; An ARAR for vanadium has not been
promulgated. However, EPA has recently developed an unpublished Estimated
Advisory Concentration for vanadium of 7.7 ug/1 which will be met in
freshwater systems. Remediation will attain the Clean Water Act level for
nickel 13.4 mg/kg.

DELAWARE SAND & GRAVEL, DE
First Remedial Action - Final
April 22, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Delaware Sand & Gravel (DS&G) site is a 27-acre inactive industrial
waste landfill located in New Castle County, Delaware. It is bordered by
Army Creek to the west, Army Creek and wetlands to the north, residential
and business facilities to the east, and an abandoned sand and gravel quarry
to the south. Also to the west of the site directly across Army Creek is
the Army Creek Landfill NPL site. Residences are located approximately 30
feet from the landfill and a residential development is located
approximately 0.5 miles south and southwest of the site. Underlying the
landfill is the Potomac Aquifer, which is accessed about 1.25 miles south of
the site and used as a public water source. The DS&G site consists of four
disposal areas, referred to as the Drum Disposal, Inert Disposal, Ridge, and
Grantham South areas. Between 1968 and 1976 the site accepted household and
construction wastes and approximately 7,000 drums containing liquids and
sludges from perfume, plastics, paint, and petroleum refining processes. In
1971, investigations revealed ground water contamination emanating from the
Army Creek and DS&G landfills. In 1976, the Delaware Department of Natural
Resources and Environmental Control issued an enforcement action requiring
DS&G to discontinue disposal activities. A ground water recovery system was
installed to prevent contaminated water from reaching the nearby private
wellfield, which continues to operate. Investigations were conducted to
characterize the source and extent of contamination from both sites, and in
1984 EPA initiated an emergency removal action at the DS&G site to remove
approximately 600 drums from the Drum Disposal area. An estimated 535,000
yd-* of waste material are located onsite. Wastes identified in the Drum
Disposal area include subsurface soil and debris contaminated with PCBs,
organic liquids, and inorganic solids. The Drum Disposal area is believed
to be the major source of organic ground water contamination. The Ridge
area consists of contaminated surficial soil, and drums, storage tanks and
debris scattered on the surface. The Inert Disposal area contains various
domestic waste, cars, trucks and storage tanks scattered on the surface.
The Grantham South area is believed to contain surficial inert waste as well
as deposited chemical wastes. Two hot spots of organic contamination were
identified in this area. The primary contaminants of concern affecting the
soil and ground water are VOCs including benzene, toluene, and xylenes,
other organics including PCBs, PAHs, and phenols, and metals including
chromium and lead.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: excavation and
onsite mobile incineration of approximately 36,000 tons of contaminated' soil
and wastes from the Drum Disposal and Ridge areas, with on- or offsite
disposal of residual ash and grading and revegetation of excavated areas;
removal and offsite disposal of all surface debris material from the Inert
area, followed by capping; construction of a RCRA cap over the Grantham
South area; ground water pump and treatment with discharge to Army Creek;
and ground water monitoring. The estimated present worth cost for this
remedial action is $24,944,000.

DORNEY ROAD LANDFILL, PA
First Remedial Action
September 29, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Dorney Road Landfill site is located in Lehigh County, Pennsylvania.
The site is approximately 27 acres, bounded on the east by Dorney Road, and
extends westward such that the southwest corner is in Longswamp Township,
Berks County. Land use in the area is rural, residential and agricultural.
The population within an 0.25 mile radius of the site is estimated to be
approximately 20 people. Currently, 1 residence is located within 1,000 feet
of the site and 3 residences are within 2,000 feet of the site. The water
supply for these nearby homes is ground water from private wells. Beginning
in 1952, an abandoned iron mine pit on the site was used as an open dump.
From 1966 to 1978, an unpermitted landfill was operated in the same mine pit.
In 1986, EPA conducted a removal action and regraded the landfill to prevent
runoff and erosion of landfill material from migrating to neighboring
property. In 1980 and 1982, EPA investigations revealed elevated levels of
VOCs, metals and phenols in ground water and leachate samples. This remedial
action will prevent dermal contact and incidental ingestion of landfill soil
and solid waste. It will also minimize the continued leaching of
precipitation and onsite ponded waters through the contaminated landfill. A
subsequent remedial action will address the ground water under the site. The
primary contaminants of concern affecting the soil, ground water and surface'
water are VOCs including benzene, toluene and xylenes, metals including
arsenic and chromium, and other organics including phenol and PAHs.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: offsite disposal of
approximately 700,000 gallons of onsite pond water; construction of a dike and
diversion ditch system to control runon/runoff; regrading and installation of
a multi-layer landfill cap and a gas collection system; ground water
monitoring; and deed and access restrictions. The estimated present worth
cost for this remedial action is $14,000,000 with estimated annual O&M costs
of $42,000.

DOUGLASSVILLE DISPOSAL, PA
Second Remedial Action
June 24, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Douglassville Disposal site occupies approximately 50 acres of land
in Union Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania. It is almost entirely within
the 100-year floodplain of the Schuylkill River. In 1941, Berks Associates
began recycling lubrication oil at the site; waste solvents were recycled in
the 1950s and 1960s. Wastes generated from those recycling processes were
stored in onsite lagoons from 1941 until 1972. In November 1970, heavy
rains caused the lagoons to overflow and release 2,000,000 - 3,000,000
gallons of wastes down the Schuylkill River. Federal and State actions were
initiated to dispose of the waste material remaining in the lagoons. Before
this action could be carried out, heavy rains from a hurricane caused the
river to overflow its banks and inundate the. entire site area in June 1972.
An estimated 6,000,0000 - 8,000,000 gallons of wastes were carried by
floodwaters downstream for about 15 miles. During cleanup after the storm,
the lagoons were drained and backfilled by EPA. Lubrication oil recycling
operations continued at the site until 1979 when the operator determined
operational correction, mandated by the Pennsylvania Department of
Environmental Resources (PADER), were cost prohibitive. Operations then
* turned to the practice of refining waste oils for use as fuel in industrial
boilers. Beginning in 1979, oily waste sludge from the new recycling
process was landfarmed onsite. This practice was halted in 1981 when PADER
mandated operational corrections to the landfarming practices. In late
1985, all oil recycling operations at the facility were completely
discontinued. This operable unit addresses the 3-4 acre area in the
southern most portion of the site and is hydraulically upgradient of the
rest of the site. The area consists of a concrete building, process
equipment, piping, and at least 57 process tanks. The tanks are constructed
of wood, concrete, or steel and range in size from 3,000 gallons to 600,000
gallons. Approximately 200,000 gallons of PCB and lead contaminated oil and
waste sludges remain in the tanks. The buildings, tanks, tank wastes, and
processing equipment are impediments to any future soil and ground water
remediation, and are a source of continuing contamination of these media.
The primary contaminants of concern include: VOCs, PCBs, PAHs, and lead.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: removal of liquid
and sludge tank waste with transportation to an offsite incineration
facility; decontamination of tanks, piping, processing equipment, and
building materials; offsite disposal of building rubble, selling of tanks
and other metal materials as scrap; offsite disposal of concrete, asphalt,
and other materials; and treatment of generated decontamination fluids, as
appropriate. The estimated capital cost for this remedial action is
$4,050,000. No OSM will be incurred.

DRAKE CHEMICAL, PA
Third Remedial Action - Final
September 29, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Drake Chemical Site is a 12.5-acre inactive chemical manufacturing
facility located in Lock Haven, Clinton County, Pennsylvania. The area
surrounding the site includes American Color and Chemical Company to the
west, Hammermill Paper Company to the southwest, Bald Eagle Creek to the
south, the west branch of the Susquehanna River to the north, and an
apartment complex and a shopping center to the east. Bald Eagle Creek and
the Susguehanna River are wetland areas and are used for recreation and
fishing. Lock Haven residents do not use ground water for drinking
purposes. The facility operated between 1951 and 1982 manufacturing
chemical intermediates used in producing dyes, cosmetics, textiles,
Pharmaceuticals, and pesticides. The site includes two synthetic-lined
wastewater treatment lagoons, an unlined leachate lagoon, and a dry unlined
sludge lagoon. The water and sediments within the two lined impoundments
are highly contaminated with site-related organic and inorganic
contaminants. The site surface is covered with debris, chemical sludge, and
contaminated soil. Approximately 252,000 yd3 of soil, sludges and
sediments are contaminated. The Drake Chemical Company was cited several
times by State and Federal agencies for violating environmental and health
and safety regulations. In 1982, EPA began an emergency removal action in
which surface drums, surface sludges, and liquids contained in process and
storage tanks were removed and disposed of, and the site was fenced. A ROD
signed in 1982 addressed the leachate stream that ran offsite towards Bald
Eagle Creek, and remediation was completed in 1987. A subsequent ROD signed
in May 1986 required demolition of onsite contaminated buildings and tanks
and disposal in an offsite landfill. This work currently is being
undertaken. The focus of the remedial action addressed in this ROD is
remediation of the contaminated soil, sludges, and ground water at the
site. The primary contaminants of concern affecting the ground water,
surface water, soil, and sediments are VOCs including benzene, toluene, TCE,
and xylenes, other organics including fenac, phenols, and PAHs, and metals
including lead, chromium, and arsenic.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: excavation of
approximately 252,000 yd3 of contaminated sludge, soil, and sediments,
followed by treatment in an onsite mobile rotary kiln incinerator,
backfilling (possibly using the incinerator ash as backfill material), and
installation of a vegetative cover; design and construction of an onsite
wastewater biological activated carbon treatment plant with pump and
treatment of the surface water, ground water, storm water, and aqueous
wastes from the leachate lagoon at the treatment plant, followed by
discharge to a local stream or POTW; and ground water monitoring. The
estimated present worth cost for this remedial action is $97,363,000 with an
average annual O&M of $787,000.

FIKE CHEMICAL, WV
First Remedial Action
September 29, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Fike Chemical site is an approximately 11-acre site located in the
Nitro Industrial Complex, Nitro, West Virginia, on the flood plain of the
Kanawha River, which is 2,200 feet to the west. The population within a
10-mile radius of the site is estimated to be 25,000. The site consists of
the Fike operations property and the Cooperative Sewage Treatment, Inc.
(CST) property, which is a joint venture between Fike (now Artel Chemicals,
Inc.) and Coastal Tank Lines, Inc. The Fike plant property was an active
chemical manufacturing plant from 1968'to June 1988. During Fike's
operation, over 60 different chemicals were produced, all by batch reaction
on an as-needed basis. Other site activities leading to contamination
include onsite disposal of hazardous wastes through drum burial and unlined
surface lagoons, and tank storage of various chemical stock, products, and
wastes. The CST property, which is adjacent to the Fike property to the
northwest, consists of a series of basins, treatment tanks, and sludge
drying beds, which are designed to treat plant surface runoff and process
wastewater delivered from Fike Chemical via separate sewer systems. The
treated water is discharged into the Kanawha River. The CST property has a
long history of enforcement activity resulting from violations of their
NPDES permit and various noncompliance issues under RCRA, leading to
termination of interim status in November 1985. Approximately 300 bulk
storage tanks are located onsite, containing acids, bases, flammables, and
cyanides. A minimum of 2,000 surface drums are onsite in uncontrolled
storage facilities. Approximately 8,000 laboratory containers of known and
unknown contents are at the site. Wastes buried onsite include 1,000 drums
and an undetermined number of additional laboratory containers.
Approximately 100,000 pounds of metallic sodium is contained in 300 of the
drums onsite. A pressurized tank of methyl mercaptan contains approximately
9,000 gallons. This remedial action will reduce the imminent hazards
currently present onsite. Contaminated soil and ground water will be
addressed in a subsequent remedial action. The primary contaminants of
concern affecting the soil, ground water and surface water are organics
including PCBs and methyl mercaptan, inorganics including cyanide, asbestos,
and acids, and metals.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: removal and
offsite treatment through incineration and offsite disposal of the tank
containing methyl mercaptan; offsite treatment and disposal of drums of
metallic sodium; removal, bulking and offsite treatment and disposal of
drums on the ground surface and of the materials found in various tanks,
lines, and vessels (through incineration, offsite ion exchange or chemical
oxidation, and stabilization or fixation depending on drum/tank contents);
lab-packing and offsite disposal of laboratory containers or treatment
through offsite incineration; drainage and stabilization of lagoons and
treatment of the drained liquids with discharge of treated liquids to
Kanawha River; excavation, bulking, storage and offsite disposal of buried
drums;

HENDERSON ROAD, PA
First Remedial Action
March 30, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Henderson Road site is an active waste facility situated on
7.6 acres of land in Upper Merion Township, Pennsylvania. The land in the
vicinity of the site is zoned for light industrial, heavy industrial and
residential use. The site is approximately 2,000 feet south and upgradient
of the Upper Merion Reservoir (UMR), where ground water is part of a public
water supply serving 228,000 customers. A water supply well 350 feet
southeast and upgradient of the site serves 15 employees of a lumber
company. The site area is also characterized by sinkholes resulting from
dissolution and subsequent collapse of the dolomite and limestone bedrock.
The O'Hara Sanitation Company (OSL) presently occupies the site with several
automobile repair shops and a drilling contractor. The OSL presently
conducts onsite waste storage and waste recycling operations. An anonymous
phone call to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources (PADER)
in 1977 stated that ABM Disposal Service Company transported and then
injected industrial waste into a well located inside the OSL maintenance
garage. Limited information is available on the types or volumes of
materials disposed of before PADER was notified of injection activities at
the site. Results of PADER and EPA sampling conducted between 1977 and
1981, and ground water monitoring conducted in 1986 revealed the presence of
organic and VOC contamination both on and offsite. Of the 35 chemicals of
concern identified at the site, fifteen were found in UMR in 1986. Certain
site-related chemicals also have been detected between the site, UMR, and
the adjacent water supply well. Additionally, the site is located in an
area of regional ground water contamination. Studies also indicate that the
central plume of contamination from the site has not yet reached the UMR,
based on an estimated travel time for ground water from the site to reach
UMR. However, onsite ground water is still highly contaminated and the
extent of contamination in the rocks and fractures in the unsaturated
bedrock has not been fully characterized. A potential might exist for
increased offsite loading to the ground water. The primary contaminants of
concern include VOCs and organics.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: installation of
onsite and downgradient (if necessary) ground water recovery wells and
treatment using air stripping with probable discharge to an adjacent stream,
and possible discharge of a portion of the treated ground water onto an area
near the injection well as part of the unsaturated zone treatment (soil
flushing); closure of the injection well; excavation of contaminated oil pit
sediments and removal of significant waste, if feasible, directly out of the
injection well; installation, operation and maintenance of a carbon
adsorption water treatment system at an affected offsite active well; deed
restrictions affecting ground water usage; ground water monitoring;
collection and evaluation of data during RD/RA phase for possible pilot
testing of in-situ volatilization (ISV) of VOCs or another appropriate
treatment technology in the unsaturated zone; and periodic reevaluation of
cleanup goals. The estimated present worth cost for this remedial action
ranges from $5,500,000 (without ISV, unsaturated zone treatment or
downgradient pump and treatment) and $12,200,000 (with ISV).

KIMBERTON, PA
First Remedial Action
September 30, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Kimberton site is located in the northeastern portion of Chester
County, Pennsylvania, near the Philadelphia metropolitan area. The site
encompasses the Monsey Products Company property and adjacent properties
within the surrounding Village of Kimberton. Several buried lagoons are
located on the site. The lagoons are in close proximity to numerous private
water supply wells and less than one mile from French Creek, which is used
for public recreation and fishing. The site had two successive owners
before Monsey Products purchased it in 1968. All owners were involved in
industrial production. One owner, Ciba Products Company, a predecessor of
CIBA-GEIGY, operated eight lagoons at the site during its period of
ownership from 1947 to 1959. The lagoons received various residues from the
manufacturing operations at the time. In August 1981, VOCs were first
detected during routine water quality testing of a private well on Monsey
property. EPA's subsequent investigation in early 1982 indicated that soil,
ground water, and surface water were contaminated by VOCs, including DCE,
TCE and vinyl chloride. The lagoons were identified as a source of
contamination, and subsequently, approximately 2,050 yd-* of contaminated
soil from three former lagoon areas were excavated and disposed of offsite
in September 1984 as part of a site remedial action plan. The excavations
were backfilled, regraded, and revegetated. Furthermore, in December 1986,
CIBA-GEIGY. and Monsey Products provided 25 residential and commerical
locations with an alternate source of drinking and contact water.
Currently, sampling and analysis has or currently is being performed in
other lagoon areas to evaluate their potential as sources of ground water
contamination. This remedial action was designed to address the health risk
to those residents who may continue to use contaminated private wells. A
subsequent ROD will address other sources of contamination as well as
additional ground water remediation. The primary contaminants of concern
affecting the ground water are VOCs including DCE, TCE and vinyl chloride.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: continued
provision of an alternate water supply — either by treating impacted
residential and commerical wells by filtration using granular activated
carbon adsorption or by providing below-grade storage tanks for all water
needs (contact and drinking use); and continued monitoring of impacted
wells. The estimated present worth cost for this remedial action is
$3,850,000 with estimated annual O&M costs of $250,000 to $300,000.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; Ground water treatment will attain a 10
risk level for VOCs. The use of granular activated carbon filters in
impacted offsite wells has reduced the contaminants of concern to
non-detectable levels.

L.A. CLARKE & SON, VA
First Remedial Action
March 31, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The 40-acre L.A. Clarke site is located in Spotsylvania County,
Virginia. Wood preserving operations began at L.A. Clarke & Son, Inc. in
June 1937 and have continued to date with only one inactive period, from
April 1979 to June 1980. During the past 50 years, creosote contaminated
soil and sediments resulted from facility operations spills, waste streams
entering the drainage ditches, and onsite disposal. Historical aerial
photography indicates that from at least 1953 through 1974 wastewater was
disposed into two concrete-lined pits. An area located north of the process
facility also received wastes. Overflow from the concrete pits was stored
in an earthen pit. Excess water was discharged to drainage ditches and
sprayed on the ground around the storage yard to control dust. Aerial
photography identified four additional waste water pits which date back to
1937. These four pits were filled in by 1979. In 1975, L.A. Clarke & Son,
Inc. was issued a National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
permit for outfalls from two onsite drainage ditches. These permits are
still in effect. Phenol is the only toxic contaminant regulated by the
permit. In 1980, L.A. Clarke & Son, Inc. was classified under RCRA as a
treater of hazardous waste due to the presence of a wastewater impoundment
lagoon. As part of a State-mandated remedial action in 1982, approximately
1,400 yd^ of soil was excavated from the processing area to create a
RCRA-regulated soil waste pile. The primary contaminants of concern
affecting both the soil and sediments (total volume of 119,00 yd3) are
constituents of creosote including PNAs and benzene.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: in-situ soil
flushing of subsurface soil underlying the process buildings followed by
in-situ biodegradation in the creosote layer area; biological degradation of
bottom sediments in the lagoon; onsite landfarming of excavated surface
soil/ sediments, and subsurface wetland soil; excavation, dredging, and
onsite consolidation of contaminated sediments, subsurface wetland soil,
buried pit materials, and surface soil not remediated via in-situ flushing;
erosion/sedimentation control; backfilling excavated areas with treated soil
and sediment; and ground water monitoring. The estimated capital cost for
this remedial action is $21,080,000 with present worth O&M of $33,900.
Should it be determined that the onsite process building requires removal,
landfarming/biodegradation may be implemented at an added capital cost of
$910,900.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS: To achieve protection of the shallow
aquifer for drinking water purposes, target cleanup levels for subsurface
soil include PNAs 10.3 mg/kg and benzene 94.03 mg/kg. These levels
correspond to a 10~^ site risk level and a 10~5 risk at the site
boundary. These levels also will protect aquatic life in surface water.

MIDDLETOWN AIR FIELD, PA
First Operable Unit
December 31, 1987
ROD ABSTRACT
The Middletown Air Field site covers what is now the Harrisburg
International Airport (HIA), located between the town of Middletown and
Nighspire, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. The airport is owned and operated
by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Department of Transportation. The area
surrounding the base is characterized as mixed residential/industrial.
Between 1898 and 1962, the property was owned by the U.S. Government and
used by the military. HIA and several other entities occupy what was
referred to as the Olmsted Air Force Base. In March 1983, TCA contamination
caused six of the ten onsite production wells supplying HIA to be taken out
of service. Studies initiated under the Department of Defense Installation
Restoration Program indicate that while ground water contamination due to
volatile organic compounds exists, the exact source(s) of contamination
cannot be clearly defined. Ground water contamination may result from one
or more, possibly current, sources in the "industrial area". To date, HIA
has been able to temporarily meet the water requirements of the facility by
taking the most contaminated well off-line as a potable water source, and by
blending potable water from a number of wells. The most prevalent
contaminants of concern affecting the ground water are VOCs including TCE
and PCE.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: provision of a
potable water supply; construction of a central treatment plant; ground
water pump and treatment using air stripping; and ground water monitoring.
The estimated capital cost for this remedial action is $3,750,000 with
annual O&M of $160,000.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; Ground water cleanup levels will meet a
cumulative 10~^ cancer risk level for PCE 1.0 ug/1, and MCLs for
TCE 5.0 ug/1 and benzene 5.0 ug/1. An MCLG was established for
toluene 2,000 ug/1.

NEW CASTLE STEEL, DE
First Remedial Action - Final
March 31, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The New Castle Steel site (NCS) is a 3-acre disposal dump, located in
New Castle, Delaware. The site is divided into two parts by a city drainage
channel. One portion of the site, the inactive disposal area, occupies
1.3 acres, and the active area occupies 1.7 acres. Since operations began
in 1907, solid waste generated by the Deemer Steel Company (DSC), located
immediately across the NCS site, was piled and periodically spread over the
surface of the disposal areas. The waste consisted primarily of black sand
which may contain small quantities of bentonite and corn flour.
Approximately, 1,800 yd3 or 2,430 tons of black sand were generated each
year. Other waste materials were sent to the disposal areas and mixed with
black sand. These materials included: slag, coke, iron oxide, fine sand
dust, and metal scrap. Between 1973 and 1980, electric furnace dust was
generated at the rate of 9.6 tons per year. This dust was mixed with black
sand and spread over the active waste area. The adoption of the Delaware
Regulations governing hazardous waste in November 1980 identified the
electric furnace dust and any mixture of this material with solid waste as a
RCRA listed hazardous waste (waste number K061). EPA subsequently changed
the definition of K061, and none of the waste from DSC operations would
qualify as a listed hazardous waste. In December 1980, the electric furnace
dust was found to be EP-toxic for cadmium, chromium, and lead. A June 1984
hydrogeological study reported the thickness of wastes in the fill section
ranged from 8 to 13 feet, and the average thickness was approximately 10
feet. Wastes were placed over predominantly unconsolidated marsh sediments,
which are underlain by approximately 50 feet of low-permeability clays. The
uppermost Potomac aquifer, an important drinking water source, lies about 70
feet below the site, and is protected by the low-permeability clays. An
Endangerment Assessment (EA) was prepared based on the data collected from
the samples in January 1987. The EPA concluded that no significant risk to
human health and the environment could be attributed to the site.
Contaminant screening identified five indicator chemicals. They include:
arsenic, cadmium, chromium, lead, and nickel.
The selected remedial action for this site is no further action. EPA
will monitor surface wastes for lead until the site is deleted from the
National Priorities List (NPL) and closed under the-State closure law.
There is no capital cost or O&M associated with this remedial action.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; Concentrations in ground water of lead,
cadmium, and chromium are below the levels established as MCLs under the
Safe Drinking Water Act. Lead detected in surface water has exceeded
Ambient Water Quality Criteria and may be adversely impacting a localized
wetlands area. There is no evidence to link the levels of lead in the
wetlands to the site. The higher levels can be partially attributed to the
urban environment and tidal influx from the river.

ORDNANCE WORKS DISPOSAL, WV
First Remedial Action
March 31, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Ordnance Works Disposal site, also known as the Morgantown Ordnance
Works, is located one mile south of Morgantown, West Virginia. The
Monongahela River is adjacent to the site with a fairly steep cliff
separating the river from portions of the site. Remediation for this first
operable unit focuses on the waste disposal area which consists of an
inactive landfill, two former lagoons and the surrounding impacted area, and
a scraped area of bare soil. These areas are located within an industrial
tract of over 800 acres of which 670 acres are owned by Morgantown
Industrial Park Association, a group of private individuals who joined
together to purchase the Ordnance Works property in 1982. Prior to this,
the site was owned by numerous companies and used for a variety of chemical
production operations. The landfill covers a surface area of approximately
1.6 acres. The landfill was reportedly used from 1942 until 1962, for the
disposal of various solid chemical wastes. Waste materials identified
included: construction debris, slag, ash, and catalyst pillets. Arsenic
and carcinogenic PAHs (CPAHs) were detected in the soils at concentrations
exceeding risk-based cleanup levels. The former lagoon and the surrounding
area, located adjacent to the landfill, cover a surface area of
3 to 4 acres. This area is relatively flat with a cinder-like surface layer
and sparse vegetation. Metal plating wastes were placed in the lagoon
between 1970 and 1976. The lagoons were excavated in 1981, by the
responsible party, and the contents were disposed of offsite. The metals
present in the soil are currently below the recommended cleanup levels.
CPAHs have been identified at levels exceeding cleanup standards in the area
adjacent to the lagoons. An oily, stained cinder material was observed in
areas where CPAHs were detected. The scraped area, carving a surface area
of approximately 162 acres, was an active disposal area for solid wastes
from 1942 until 1962. The waste materials identified include: construction
debris, oil-like stained soils, and catalyst pillets. Currently, arsenic
and CPAHs exceed the proposed cleanup levels. The primary contaminants of
concern affecting the soil and sediments include arsenic and CPAHs.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: consolidation of
existing landfill waste and application of a multi-layer RCRA cap;
excavation and onsite incineration of former lagoons and surrounding area,
scraped area soil, and impacted stream sediments with onsite disposal of
treatment residuals in the landfill prior to the installation of the cap
(assuming the ash is not EP toxic); placement of clean fill in the excavated
area, followed by grading and revegetation; implementation of surface
management techniques for drainage and sediment control in the landfill
area; ambient air monitoring; and post-treatment monitoring. The estimated
present worth cost for this remedial action is $6,718,000.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; Risk-based cleanup levels for indicator
chemicals were developed for arsenic 20 mg/kg, CPAHs 26 mg/kg and mercury
175 mg/kg. A PCB cleanup level of 5 mg/kg was used based on EPA cleanup
goals for industrial sites.

PALMERTON ZINC, PA
Second Remedial Action
June 29, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Palmerton Zinc site is composed of two locations in the Borough of
Palmerton, Carbon County, Pennsylvania. Smelting operations have been
conducted at two locations, a west smelter and an east smelter, flanking the
Town of Palmerton, which is located at the confluence of the Lehigh River
and Aquashicola Creek. Approximately 7,000 residents live in Palmerton,
many of whom work at the smelting facility. Land use in the area is
industrial, residential, and agricultural. The drainage pattern in the site
area is toward Aquashicola Creek, designated a warm water fishery by the
State of Pennsylvania, which flows into Lehigh River. Smelting operations
were conducted in the west plant from 1898 to 1987, and in the east plant
from 1911 to present. The site has had three owners, including the current
operator, Zinc Corporation of America, and historically has produced zinc
and other metals for a variety of products. Primary smelting of
concentrated zinc sulfide ores, conducted until December 1980, resulted in
the emission of large quantities of zinc, lead, cadmium, and sulfer
dioxide. This air pollution caused defoliation of over 2,000 acres of
vegetation in the vicinity of the east smelter. Between 1898 and 1987
process residue and other plant wastes (as well as municipal waste until
1970) were disposed of on Cinder Bank, a 2.5-mile, 2,000-acre waste pile
located behind the east plant at the base of the Blue Mountains. Cinder
Bank contains approximately 27.5 million tons of leachable metals including
lead, zinc, and cadmium, as well as carbonaceous material. Large blocks of
residue crack and break off, allowing rapid infiltration of runoff during
periods of rain and snow melt, resulting in contaminated leachate
percolating down to the ground water and seeping out of Cinder Bank. This
remedial action addresses Cinder Bank. Additional areas of contamination as
well as ground water and surface water contamination will be addressed in
subsequent remedial actions. The primary contaminants of concern affecting
the sediments, ground water, and surface water are metals including cadmium,
lead and zinc.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: slope
modification, capping, and application of a vegetative cover on Cinder Bank;
construction of surface water diversion channels; surface water and leachate
collection and treatment using lime-activated filtration lagoons and/or
constructed wetlands; implementation of an inspection, monitoring, and
maintenance plan; and wetlands restoration measures, if necessary. The
estimated present worth cost for this remedial action will be in excess of
$2,861,800; however, the exact figure will not be known until agreement is
reached on the extent of remediation during remedial design.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; Surface water and leachate treatment levels
will meet Clean Water Act requirements, and attain surface water background
levels. Individual cleanup goals were not specified.

RHINEHART TIRE FIRE, VA
First Remedial Action
June 30, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Rhinehart Tire Fire (RTF) site is located in a sparsely populated
rural area in Western Frederick County, Virginia, approximately six miles
east of the Town of Winchester. Between 1972 and 1983, the site owner, Mr.
Rhinehart, conducted a tire disposal operation which consisted of
transporting discarded tires from various locations and storing them on a
wooded slope behind his home. By October 1983, an estimated five to seven
million tires had accumulated, and on October 31, 1983, caught fire. A hot
oil produced from melting and pyrolysis of the tires seeped from the pile of
tires into Massey Run. An undetermined quantity of oil flowed into Hoque
Creek, which is a tributary to the Potomac River system. EPA's Emergency
Response Team (ERT) installed a catch basin 'to trap the oil; however,
because the high rate of oil and water seepage threatened to exceed the
catch basin storage capacity, a lined 50,000-gallon pond was constructed
immediately downslope from the burn area. Approximately 800,000 gallons of
oil product was collected, removed from the site, and recycled into fuel
oils. Soon after the fire, diversion structures were built by the owner of
the site under a consent order agreement with EPA. EPA, through the Army
Corps of Engineers, conducted a Remedial Investigation (RI) to characterize
and define the extent of possible contaminants. The RI indicated that the
precipitation falling on the ash-contaminated area continues to mix with
both the solid residue and the liquid seepage. This remedial action will
address the control of contaminated migration off-site via surface water
runoff. A subsequent remedial action will address source control at the
site. The primary contaminants of concern affecting the ground water, soil,
and surface water are metals including arsenic and lead.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: collection of
surface water runoff with gravity settling; collection of shallow ground
water oily seeps, oil-water separation, and transport of water to a POTW;
construction of berms to increase freeboard on two existing on-site ponds;
and implementation of soil erosion controls. The estimated present worth
cost for this remedial action is $1,332,340 with O&M costs of $145,000.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; The selected remedial action will minimize
the amount of offsite contamination migration. Individual containment goals
were not specified.

SOUTHERN MARYLAND WOOD, MD
First Remedial Action - FINAL
June 29, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Southern Maryland Wood Treating (SMWT) site is located in Hollywood,
St. Mary's County, Maryland. The site is situated within a wetland area in
a drainage divide such that runoff from the site discharges into Brooks Run
and Mclntosh Run tributaries, which flow into the Potomac River. The area
surrounding the site is predominantly used for agricultural and residential
purposes. From 1965 to 1975, SMWT operated as a pressure treatment facility
for wood preservation. Currently, part of the site is being used as a
retail outlet for pretreated lumber and crab traps. The waste generated at
the site included retort and cylinder sludges, process wastes, and material
spillage. These wastes were in six onsite unlined lagoons. An onsite
freshwater pond became contaminated during the facilities active and
inactive periods with VOCs, polynuclear aromatics (PNAs), and base/neutral
extractables due to contaminated ground water and surface runoff. Cleanup
actions were initiated in 1982 following legal actions by the Maryland
Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. Liquids removed from the six
lagoons were spray irrigated onto the nearby woods. The six lagoons were
excavated, backfilled, and graded, and the freshwater pond was partially
excavated. The excavated sludges were mixed with composited sludge and
topsoil, and spread in a level treatment area located on the property. The
primary contaminants of concern affecting the onsite ground water, soil,
surface water, sediments, and debris include: VOCs, PNA, and base/neutral
acid extractables.
The selected remedial action for this site includes:
excavation/dredging of soils, sediments, tank liquids, and cement, and
treatment using onsite incineration with onsite disposal of non-hazardous
residual ash, backfilling, regrading, and revegetating, where necessary;
installation of a slurry wall; dewatering of the slurry wall area by a
ground water and surface water pumping system, and treatment using activated
carbon adsorption or hydrogen peroxide and irradiation with discharge to the
onsite pond; installation of a geotextile silt fence, sedimentation basins,
and/or diversion; and ground water, surface water, environmental, organic
vapor, and dust monitoring.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; All media will attain the cleanup goal for
carcinogenic PNAs (CPNAs) of 22 ppm based on the maximum lifetime cancer
risk. These goals were established for onsite future residents. The ash
residue is expected to meet Best Demonstrated Available Technology (BDAT).

TYSON'S DUMP, PA
Second Remedial Action - Final
September 30, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Tyson's Dump site is located in Upper Merion Township, Montgomery
County, Pennsylvania. The site is an abandoned septic and chemical waste
disposal facility on a four-acre plot bordered on the east and west by
unnamed tributaries of the Schuylkill River. During its period of operation
from 1962 to 1970, several formerly unlined lagoons were used to dispose of
various industrial, municipal and chemical wastes. Spills and overflows
reportedly occurred, dispensing contaminants throughout the site. Surface
water runoff and seeps contributed to offsite migration of wastes toward the
Schuylkill River. In 1973 the State ordered the original onsite disposal
facility closed. As part of the closure, the waste lagoons were emptied,
backfilled, and vegetated, and the contents transported offsite. An EPA
investigation of the site in 1983 resulted in further remedial measures
including the construction of a leachate collection and treatment system,
drainage controls, a cover over the site, and a fence around the lagoon
area. A ROD for the On-Site Area was issued in December 1984. This ROD was
amended in March 1988 and incorporated the use of vacuum extraction to
remove contamination from soils and bedrock underlying the On-Site Area.
Further investigations of the Off-Site Area of the site indicated a need for
remedial action. Subsequently, the Off-Site Area was divided up into five
operable units. This ROD addresses the deep aquifer operable unit only.
Contamination is believed to be migrating towards and within the deep
aquifer in the form of dense non-aqueous phase liquids. Investigations
revealed that ambient site conditions for the other four operable units
represented an acceptable level of risk, and so remediation was considered
unnecessary. The primary contaminants of concern affecting the ground water
are VOCs including 1,2,3-trichloropropane, total xylenes, and toluene; and
other organics.
The selected remedial action for this site includes pumping and
treatment of contaminated ground water from the bedrock aquifer using air
stripping with vapor-phase carbon (VPC) for treatment of gaseous emissions
and, if necessary, granular activated carbon (GAC) polishing of air stripped
water with discharge of treated water to river; offsite incineration of
organic-phase condensate produced from steam regeneration of vapor-phase
carbon beds; and ground water monitoring. The estimated present worth cost
for this remedial action is $6,170,000 with annual O&M costs of $424,300,
or $6,910,000 and $509,900 respectively, if GAC polishing is implemented.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; The target cleanup goals for ground water
were based on acceptable risk levels of 10~6 for carcinogens, as well as
MCLs and WQC and include 1,2,3-trichloropropane 0.00035 mg/1 , xylenes 0.12
mg/1, and toluene 2.0 mg/1.

Amended Remedial Action
March 31, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
Tyson's Dump, a 4-acre abandoned septic and chemical waste disposal
site, is located in Upper Merion Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania.
Several formerly unlined lagoons were used to store various industrial,
municipal, and chemical wastes. Spills and overflows reportedly occurred
during the period of operation, thus allowing for the dispersal of wastes
throughout the site. Surface water runoff and seeps contributed to offsite
migration of the wastes toward the Schuylkill River. The site is bordered
on two sides by unnamed tributaries to the river. When the Pennsylvania
Department of Environmental Resources (PADER) ordered two dumps closed in
1973, the owner of the land, General Devices Inc., removed some ponded water
but did not arrange for the removal of contaminated soils. Immediate
removal measures were initiated in January 1983, following an anonymous
citizen complaint about conditions at the site. These measures included:
construction of a leachate collection and treatment system; installation of
drainage controls and a site cover; and fencing of the lagoon area. In
December 1984, EPA issued an operable unit ROD for the onsite area.
Remedial actions selected in the ROD include: excavation and offsite
disposal of contaminated soils and sediments; and upgrading the existing air
strips to treat leachate, shallow ground water, and surface run-on. EPA
began the remedial design phase for this selected alternative in January
1985. In the fall of 1985, Ciba-Geigy Corporation (CGC) agreed to conduct a
further investigation of the offsite area. In November 1986, CGC initiated
an onsite pilot study using an innovative vacuum extraction technology
process. In June and July 1987, four responsible parties, CGC, Smith-Kline
Beckman, Wyeth Laboratories, and Essex Group submitted an alternative
proposal to EPA for the first operable unit cleanup. This proposal
incorporated the results of the vacuum extraction process for remediating
lagoon soils. In September 1987, after close review of the technology, EPA
decided to recommend a ROD change to include vacuum extraction. This new
alternative was not available when the original Feasibility Study was
conducted prior to the 1984 ROD. In addition, CGC's investigation
discovered that most of the contamination from the lagoon areas had migrated
into the bedrock and excavation would not remove all the contaminants from
the area underlying the site. The primary contaminants of concern are
VOCs. The four indicator compounds include benzene, trichloroethene,
tetrachloroethene, and 1,2,3-trichloropropane.
The amended remedial action for this site includes: in-situ treatment
of soils and bedrock using vacuum extraction; treatment of the
•vacuum-extracted water using the onsite leachate water treatment system;
installation of a soil cover following treatment; and ground water
monitoring. The estimated present worth cost for this remedial action is
$10,200,000.

VOORTMAN FARM, PA
First Remedial Action - Final
June 30, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The 43-acre Voortman Farm site is located in Upper Salucon Township,
Lehigh County, Pennsylvania. The site consists of a sinkhole that contained
empty battery casings disposed of in late 1979 and early 1980. Citizen
complaints in 1980 prompted the prohibition of dumping and subsequent site
investigation. In September 1986, the battery casings in the sinkhole
caught on fire. Since the battery casings were burning underground,
attempts to extinguish the fire remained unsuccessful. In October 1986,
access was gained to the burning wastes, which were then excavated and
extinguished. Additional wastes and residues were excavated from the sink
hole and disposed of offsite. The collapse of the sinkhole walls has formed
a natural cap. There does not appear to be any leaching from any residual
metals, contaminated soils or battery casings present.
The selected remedial action for this site is a no further action with
continued ground water monitoring for five years. The estimated present
worth cost for this remedial action is $26,000 with annual O&M of $6,860.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; Currently, the ground water does not
violate drinking water standards. No location-specific or action-specific
ARARs are applicable to this alternative.

WEST VIRGINIA ORDNANCE, WV
Second Remedial Action - Final
September 30, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The West Virginia Ordnance (WVO) site covers approximately 8,323 acres
in Mason County, West Virginia. It is located on the east bank of the Ohio
River. Almost one third of the site is occupied by a 2,788-acre wildlife
station containing more than 30 shallow ponds created to promote a
wetland/terrestrial habitat for various wildlife species. Established in
1942, the WVO plant manufactured explosives, specifically TNT, from
toluene. General Chemical Defense Corporation of New York operated the
plant until 1945. Red and yellow water (liquid wastes) were produced during
the TNT manufacturing process. Yellow water was discharged to the Mill
Creek drainage system, which eventually drains into the Ohio River; red
water was discharged directly to the Ohio River through a pipe located about
one foot offshore. Retention ponds were constructed to regulate the
discharge of red and yellow water to the river. TNT and associated
by-products were burned onsite. In May 1981, ranger officials observed a
seep of red water adjacent to a pond located on the wildlife station. Upon
examination, ground water discharging to this pond was found to be
contaminated by di- and trinitrotoluenes and phenol. Localized
contamination of the shallow ground water and discharge to surface water
have been documented in the vicinity of the TNT manufacturing area, the
burning grounds, sediments of surface water receiving contamination, and
former wastewater storage lagoons. Evidence also indicates that soils of
the industrial area, process facilities, and industrial wastewater
facilities are contaminated by TNT and associated by-products
(nitroaromatics). Based on the hydrogeologic setting of WVO, there is
potential for contamination to migrate via surface water and/or ground water
pathways to deeper layers of an underlying potable aguifer or to the Ohio
River. Contaminant migration is possible toward the City of Point Pleasant
and Camp Conlay community potable water supplies. The primary contaminants
of concern affecting the soil, sediments, and ground water are
nitroaromatics and lead.
The selected remedial action for this site addresses three distinct
areas of contamination. These remedies include: Area 1 - purchase of
contaminated land and control of land use, placing a soil cover over the
contaminated area, and incorporating the area into the existing wildlife
preserve; ground water pump and treatment to nitroaromatics criteria with
discharge to surface water; monitoring discharge from the ground water
treatment system to ensure compliance with the stream standards; and
periodically inspecting and maintaining the soil cover in a stable
condition. Area 2 - relocating ponds 1 and 2, filling them with clean
material and covering them with a soil and clay cap; ground water pump and
treatment to nitroaromatics criteria with discharge to surface water; and
monitoring effluent from the treatment system to ensure compliance with
surface water criteria. Area 3 - installing a soil cover over the West Well
Area and the seep area; ground water pump and treatment to nitroaromatics
criteria with discharge to surface water; monitoring effluent from the

treatment system to ensure compliance with surface water criteria; and
periodically inspecting and maintaining the soil cover in a stable
condition. The estimated present worth for this remedial action is
$3,365,000, with estimated O&M cost of $216,500.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; West Virginia ground water protection
standards permit ACLs if these levels will not pose a substantial present or
potential hazard to health or the environment. Ground water cleanup levels
were based on available chemical-specific standards, or a 10~6 cancer
risk. Concentration limits for treated ground water in Areas 1 and 2
include: TNT 50 ug/1, dinitrobenzene 14 ug/1, trinitrobenzene 200 ug/1,
2,4-DNT 0.11 ug/1, and 2,6-DNT 0.022 ug/1. The criteria for Area 3 ground
water include: TNT 4.6 mg/1; dinitrobenzene 12 mg/1; trinitrobenzene 6.2
mg/1; 2,4-DNT 0.26 mg/1 and 2,6-DNT 0.052 mg/1.

WESTLINE, PA
Second Remedial Action
June 29, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Westline site, located in the town of Westline, McKean County,
Pennsylvania, is a 40-acre tract of land formerly used as a lumber
processing facility. Between 1901 and 1952, the onsite chemical plant
converted lumber into charcoal, methanol, and acetic acid. In 1952, the
plant was closed due to equipment deterioration and declining profits.
Waste tars containing high levels of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons
(PAHs) and various phenolic compounds were left onsite. An Emergency
Removal Action was implemented in 1983 to remove the largest tar deposit,
and a Record of Decision was signed in July, 1986, to address the excavation
and offsite incineration of remaining tar deposits and contaminated soil.
This second operable unit addresses potential ground water contamination.
In 1985 high levels of benzene were found in two onsite monitoring wells.
Additional tests indicated the presence of toluene, trichloroethane, phenol,
and other VOCs; however, benzene was the only contaminant that exceeded
Federal Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs) of 5 ug/1, and is, therefore, the
primary contaminant of concern.
The selected remedial action for the ground water operable unit at the
Westline site is no further action. Since drinking water for the town of
Westline is obtained from small streams upgradient of the site and all
contaminants except benzene are below Federal MCLs, EPA has determined that
no significant risk to public health and the environment exists. Ground
water will be monitored to ensure effectiveness of natural attenuation, and
institutional controls will be implemented to prevent construction of new
drinking water wells in the contaminated area. There are no capital costs
associated with the remedy, and O&M costs for monitoring were not specified.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; Natural attenuation can meet the MCL for
benzene 5.0 ug/1 within a 5 to 10 year period. The remedy meets the
8.93 x 10""^ increased cancer risk level. Additionally, Water Quality
Criteria and standards have not been exceeded.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS; Restrictions will be implemented to prevent
drilling of drinking water wells onsite.

WILDCAT LANDFILL, DE
First Remedial Action
June 29, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Wildcat Landfill site is located 2.5 miles southeast of Dover in
Kent County, Delaware. The 44-acre site is bordered to the north and east
by the St. Jones River and its associated wetlands, and to the south and
west by residential and commercial development. A pond, created by
construction of the landfill, is located directly adjacent to the site along
the northwestern edge. The pond is the subject of a second operable unit
for the site. Portions of the site lie within the 100-year floodplain of
the St. Jones River. The site was operated as a permitted sanitary landfill
between 1962 and 1973, accepting both municipal and industrial wastes.
Industrial wastes suspected to have been disposed of include latex waste and
paint sludges. Throughout its 11 years of operation, the facility routinely
violated operating and other permits issued by regulating agencies. EPA
began investigating the site in 1982. Typical wastes encountered at the
site included municipal refuse latex in strips and sheets; scattered
crushed, empty, or intact drums; and manufactured plastic items. Much of
the waste is located on low-lying wetland sediments; however, the area to
the southwest was excavated and backfilled with wastes. Consequently, in
that area of the landfill, wastes are in direct contact with the surficial
sand aquifer. The primary contaminants of concern affecting the soil and
ground water are VOCs including benzene, other organics including PCBs, and
metals including arsenic and lead.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: grading,
installation of a soil cover, and revegetation of onsite direct contact risk
areas; removal and offsite disposal of drums containing wastes by
landfilling (if not hazardous) or incineration (if hazardous); replacement
of two domestic wells adjacent to the site; institutional controls including
well and land use restrictions; and groundwater monitoring. The estimated
present worth cost for this remedial action is $5,400,000.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS-. The performance goal of this remedial
action is to eliminate the existing direct contact risks posed by the
landfill through institutional controls and to control contaminant
migration. Individual contaminant goals are not applicable.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS! Well restrictions on installation of all drinking
water wells onsite and in adjacent offsite areas. Land use restrictions on
any commercial or residential building onsite.

AIRCO, KY
First Remedial Action - Final
June 24, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Airco site is a 2.7-acre industrial waste landfill located outside
the zoned area of Calvert City, Marshall County, Kentucky. The site is
situated on the eastern edge of a heavily industrialized area. It is
bordered on the west by the B.F. Goodrich (BFG) NPL site, on the east by
undeveloped land and a slough, on the north by the Tennessee River and on
the south by agricultural land and a State highway. (The Airco site and the
BFG site were studied as one site for the RI/FS and their remediation will
be combined since they are located adjacent to each other and share a
somewhat common history of use.) Airco began disposing waste material from
their Calvert City plant into the landfill in 1959. By 1971, 18,000 tons of
caustics, acids, VOCs, zinc and mercuric acetate, and mercuric chloride
reportedly were disposed at the site. The landfill was unregulated until
1968, when a Solid Waste Disposal Permit was applied for and granted by the
Kentucky Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Protection.
Airco's Calvert City plant was sold to Air Products and Chemicals, Inc.
(APC) in 1971. APC also leased the landfill from Airco until 1980, during
which time they disposed of approximately 14,000 tons of coal ash containing
low level metal contaminants, as well as polyvinyl chloride solids, ferric
hydroxide sludge, and construction waste at the site. The landfill was
capped and closed in September 1981. The site was placed on the NPL in
September 1984. The primary contaminants of concern affecting the soil,
sediments and ground water are VOCs including benzene, toluene and
1,2-dichlorethane, and other organics including PAHs and PCBs.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: excavation and
consolidation of approximately 5,000 yd3 of contaminated soil and
sediments within the dikes and around the landfills from both the Airco and
BFG sites, with onsite disposal in the former burn pit area at the BFG site
followed by construction of an organic vapor recovery system and a RCRA cap
over the burn pit; reconstruction of the dikes surrounding landfills for
flood prevention; upgrading of the landfill caps and installation of a
leachate extraction system with onsite treatment of the leachate and offsite
discharge to the local river; pump and treatment at the BFG plant site of
ground water using air stripping and biological treatment or activated
carbon adsorption, and discharge to the local river; possible treatment of
ground water with an oil/water separator if ground water contains
significant oil, and temporary onsite storage of oil with transport offsite
to an oil recycling facility; access restrictions; and institutional
controls to prevent residential development. The estimated present worth
cost for this remedial action (including all costs related to the BFG site),
is $6,090,000 with present worth O&M estimated to be $3,130,000.

ALPHA CHEMICAL, FL
First Remedial Action - Final
May 18, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Alpha Chemical site, located in Kathleen, Florida, consists of over
32 acres, that comprise the Alpha Resins Corporation (ARC), a facility of
the Alpha Chemical Corporation. Surface water from the site drains into a
swampy, low-lying wetland area. Karst topography is evidenced by sinkholes
in the area. The facility has produced unsaturated polyester resin for
fiberglass manufacturers since 1967. A waste stream, referred to as the
"water of reaction", is produced as a by-product of polyester resin
formation. This waste stream is composed primarily of water containing
small amounts of organics. ARC obtained a State permit in 1967 to place
this waste stream in two unlined surface impoundments. The permit allowed
for the ponds to act as percolation basins, allowing for the natural
biodegradation of the organics. The percolation ponds have not been used
since 1976. At that time, a thermal oxidizer was installed to incinerate
the waste stream rather than place it in the percolation ponds. After
switching to incineration. Pond 4 dried up. It was then used for one year
as a solid waste landfill by ARC and its employees. In 1977, the landfill
was covered with two feet of native soil. In 1982, ARC contacted the
Florida Department of Environmental Regulations (DER) to obtain a permit to
line Pond 3 with concrete for caustic wash water disposal. As a condition
of the permit, DER required ARC to install ground water monitoring wells.
In April, 1983, a DER ground water assessment report indicated industrial
impacts on the surficial aquifer. Further soil and ground water sampling
investigation did not reveal a definable plume of contamination. Of the 23
organic constituents identified in the ground water, ethylbenzene was found
to be the most frequently detected, having a high concentration of
contamination.
The selected remedial action for this site includes placing a low
permeable cap over the unlined pond area, and long-term ground water and
surface water monitoring. The estimated capital cost for this remedial
action is $142,400 with present worth O&M of $186,200.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; Recommended AWQC are met for all wells at
the property line and immediately downgradient of all site areas except the
unlined pond. Capping will manage the threat of future releases from the
pond area and meet AWQC downgradient of the unlined pond for:
ethylbenzene 1.4 mg/1, and 1,2-dichloropropane 1.4 mg/1.

BROWN WOOD PRESERVING, FL
First Remedial Action - Final
April 8, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The 55-acre Brown Wood Preserving site is located approximately two
miles west of the City of Live Oak, Suwanee County, Florida. The site is
located in karst terrain in which sinkholes are a common geological
feature. The areas surrounding the site are considered rural and light
agricultural. There are four private wells located along the site periphery
that obtain water from an aquifer 20-100 feet below the site. The public
water supply wells for the City of Live Oak are located less than two miles
away. The site contains a former wood preserving plant facility, which
pressure treated timber products with creosote and some pentachlorophenol
(PCP) for thirty years between 1948 and 1978. During this time, several
different companies operated the facility. In addition, the facility was
rebuilt following a fire in February 1974. Sludge and contaminated soils
have been identified in the immediate vicinity of the plant site and an
upgradient lagoon. This three-acre lagoon drains approximately 74-acres and
contains water provided above approximately 3,000 yd3 of creosote sludge
and contaminated soil. In addition, small amounts of solidified creosote
and PCP are contained in onsite storage tanks and retorts. In 1981, EPA was
notified by one of the former facility owners that hazardous waste may have
been handled at the site. In July 1982, the Florida Department of
Environmental Regulation (FDER) inspected the site and detected a number of
organic compounds. A action, completed in February 1988, resulted in the
removal of approximately 200,000 gallons of lagoon water and 15,000 tons of
contaminated lagoon sludge and soil. The primary contaminants of concern
affecting the soil, sediments, sludge, and waste water are creosote
constituents including PAHs.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: removal and
treatment, if necessary, of lagoon water with discharge to a POTW;
excavation, treatment, and offsite disposal of approximately 1,500 tons of
the most severely contaminated soil and sludge; onsite biodegradation of
approximately 10,000 tons of the remaining soils in a 14-acre treatment area
constructed with a liner and an internal drainage and spray irrigation
system; covering of the treatment area with clean fill after bioremediation;
and ground water monitoring. The estimated present worth cost for this
remedial action is $2,740,000.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS! The soils will be treated to reduce the
concentration of total carcinogenic indicator chemicals to 100 mg/kg
throughout the volume of material treated. This level for total
carcinogenic indicator chemicals corresponds to an approximate 1 x 10~6
soil ingestion risk level.

CELANESE FIBERS OPERATIONS, NC
First Remedial Action
March 23, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The 450-acre Celanese Fiber Operations (CFO) site is occupied by a
polyester raw-material production facility, and is located in Cleveland
County, one mile north of Earl, North Carolina. The plant facilities
consist of the plant production area, wastewater treatment area, former
waste disposal areas, land farm area, and recreation and tree farm areas
south of the main plant. The plant began operations in 1960 as Fibers
Industries/ Inc. and manufactured polyester polymer chip and filament yarn
using the chemicals dimethyl terephthalate and ethylene glycol. Celanese
Corporation bought the facility in 1983. The CFO waste treatment plant was
constructed in phases concurrent with the manufacturing plant. This
resulted in the disposal of chemical wastes directly into a drainage ditch
during the early years of operation prior to completion of the waste
treatment plant. Treated effluent has been discharged to Buffalo Creek
since the mid-1960s/ when CFO completed construction of the treatment
plant. In addition to the discharge from the wastewater treatment plant,
CFO also discharges alum-treated bandcaster water directly to Buffalo
Creek. Several areas around the plant have been used for waste disposal,
including old burning pits for normal plant wastes (polyester and trash), a
glycol recovery unit sludge burial area, and a former drum storage and
staging area (drums contained solutions that failed to polymerize) excavated
and backfilled in the mid-1960s, and two soak-away ponds formerly containing
treated sanitary sewage. In addition, 4 areas of buried waste are located
to the north and outside the main plant perimeter fence: a polymer and fiber
landfill, a construction debris landfill, a 21-acre sludge disposal area,
and a drum storage area which temporarily stored 2,000 to 3,000 drums of
waste chemicals and solvents, including lab packs, from 1970 to 1978. The
drums were removed and disposed of offsite by 1978. The primary
contaminants of concern affecting the ground water include: VOCs including
benzene and PCE, organics including phenols, and metals including chromium.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: ground water pump
and treatment using air stripping, biological treatment, and carbon
adsorption (if necessary), followed by discharge to the onsite wastewater
treatment plant. If the treatment system effluent contains metals, such as
chromium, above allowable discharge levels, the effluent will be treated
using chemical precipitation. The estimated present worth cost for this
remedial action is $2,032,000 with estimated present worth O&M of $1,069,230.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; Ground water cleanup will attain Federal or
State MCLs, whichever is more stringent. Individual cleanup goals were not
specified.

ROD ABSTRACT
The Chemtronics site, an active waste disposal facility, is located in a1
rural area of Swannanoa, Buncombe County, North Carolina. The 1,027-acre
site was developed as an industrial facility in 1952. Several companies
operated the facility prior to its purchase by Chemtronics, Inc. in 1978.
Waste disposal operations only occurred over approximately ten acres of the
site. Existing records indicate the.presence of twenty-three individual
onsite disposal areas (DAs) which are grouped into six discrete areas:
DA-6, DA-7/8, DA-9, DA-10/11, DA-23 and the acid pit. The site can also be
divided into two geographical subsections referred to as Front Valley and
Gregg Valley. Disposal practices prior to 1971 were not well defined;
however, solid waste materials and possibly solvents were incinerated in
pits dug in an area previously referred to as the burning ground and
currently referred to as the acid pit area. Additionally, chemical wastes
were disposed of in trenches beside this burning ground. Waste materials
generated in the production of the chemical warfare agent, 3-quinuclidinyl
benzilate (BZ), and the tear gas agent, o-chlorobenzylidene malononitrile
(CS), were placed in 55-gallon drums with a neutralizing solution, and then
buried onsite in trench-type landfills. From 1971 to 1975, small volumes of
liquid wastes were disposed of in onsite pits/trenches. Solid wastes,
rocket motors, explosive wastes, and other waste types also were burned in
the burning ground area. From 1975 to 1979, Chemtronics, Inc. constructed
pits/trenches, as needed, for the disposal of spent acid and various organic
wastes. These pits/trenches were constructed in the burning ground area.
In 1980, North Carolina ordered Chemtronics to discontinue all discharges to
site pits/trenches. The pits subsequently have been back-filled. Starting
in 1979, Chemtronics installed a 500,000 gallon lined lagoon over an old
leaching field for the biotreatment of waste waters. The incompatibility of
the liner with the brominated wastes introduced into the lagoon caused the
lagoon to leach its contents. The biolagoon was reconstructed in
August, 1980, with a different liner, and deactivated in 1984. In September
1984, the U.S. Army Toxic and Hazardous Materials Agency sampled two drums
at the surface in DA-10/11. These drums were suspected of containing wastes
from the production of BZ. Although no BZ was found, an immediate removal
of these drums was initiated in January, 1985, due to heightened public
awareness/involvement with the site. The primary contaminants of concern
affecting the soil, sediments, ground water and surface water include VOCs,
benzene, PCE, TCE, organics, metals, arsenic, pesticides, and explosives.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: multi-layer
capping of DA 6, DA 7/8, DA-9, DA-10/11 and the acid pit area with fencing,
placement of a vegetative cover over the cap, and installation of a gas
collection ventilation system, if necessary; treatability studies for soils
associated with DA-23 to determine the most appropriate soil
fixation/stabilization/solidification process and mixing ratios followed by
onsite capping; ground water pump and treatment which may include air
stripping, carbon adsorption, or metal removal with treatment and discharge
to be determined during design; sampling of pond water and sediments, and if
necessary, treat using the ground water treatment system or the selected

FLOWOOD, MS
First Remedial Action - Final
September 30, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Flowood site consists of 225 acres of mostly wetlands and lowlands,
is located in the Town of Flowood, Rankin County, Mississippi, on the east
side of the Pearl River. The site includes wastewater discharge areas and
downstream areas adjacent to two industrial manufacturing facilities. The
immediate area of the site includes a borrow-pit, a slough or canal used as
a discharge area, a flood levee, and a cow pasture with an area of ponded
water. The site is bordered to the north and east by various industrial and
commerical operations, while forested areas are located west of the site.
The nearest residence is more than 0.5 mile south of the site. Two
manufacturing facilities have been owned and operated by a series of
companies at the Flowood site since the 1950s. The northernmost facility
manufactured corrugated boxes, and the southernmost facility produced
ceramic tiles through the 1970s and stoneware cooking pots from the
mid-1970s to the present. A routine industrial wastewater inspection
conducted by the Mississippi Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) in the
fall of 1982 revealed the unpermitted discharge of hazardous substances to
the onsite canal. Subsequent sampling detected lead contamination in water
and sediments from the canal. The MDNR began an emergency treatment and
removal process to address the contaminated wastewater, but discontinued the
process when higher levels of lead were found in the canal adjacent to one
of the manufacturing sites. In 1983, EPA investigations revealed high lead
levels in onsite sludges, sediments, and surface soil. The primary
contaminant affecting the soil and sediments is lead.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: excavation and
stabilization/solidification through chemical fixation of approximately
6,000 yd^ of soil and sediments from all contaminated areas, followed by
placement of the treated material in the excavated slough/lagoon area,
capping with clean top soil and seeding to provide a vegetative cover; and
ground water monitoring. The estimated present worth cost of this remedial
action is $2,000,000 with a first year O&M cost of $25,000.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; A risk-based level of 500 mg/kg of lead has
been set as the cleanup goal for soil and sediments.

GOODRICH, B.F., KY
First Remedial Action - Final
June 24, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The B.F. Goodrich (BFG) site is a one-acre area consisting of a landfill
and waste burn pits and is located outside,the zoned area of Calvert City,
Marshall County, Kentucky. The site is situated on the eastern edge of a
heavily industrialized area. It is bordered on the east by the Airco NPL
site, on the west by the B.F. Goodrich Company, on the north by the
Tennessee River and on the south by a State highway. (The BFG site and the
Airco site were studied as one site for the RI/FS and their remediation will
be combined since they are located adjacent to each other and share a
somewhat common history of use.) The landfill is a former creek channel
made suitable for landfilling by the construction of dikes on the north and
west sides. The B.F. Goodrich Company used the landfill between 1965 and
1973 to dispose of approximately 54,000 tons of construction-type waste and
plant trash. The company also operated the burn pit area where several pits
were used to burn approximately 2.6 million gallons of liquid chlorinated
organics. Additionally, 370 yd3 of salt-brine sludge was buried in an
area near the burn pits. From 1973 to 1980, excavation dirt was the only
waste disposed at the site. An inspection conducted by the Kentucky
Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Protection in May 1980
revealed a leaching problem along the river side of the landfill, and
instructed the B. F. Goodrich Company to correct the problem. The Company
resolved the problem in June 1980. The site was placed on the NPL in
September 1983. The primary contaminants of concern affecting the soil,
sediments and ground water are VOCs including benzene, toluene and
1,2-dichlorethane (EDC), and other organics including PAHs.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: excavation and
consolidation of approximately 5,000 yd3 of contaminated soil and
sediments within the dikes and around the landfill from both the BFG and
Airco sites, with onsite disposal in the former burn pit area followed by
.construction of an organic vapor recovery system and a RCRA cap over the
burn pit; reconstruction of the dikes surrounding the landfill for flood
prevention; upgrading of the landfill caps and installation of a leachate
extraction system with onsite treatment of the leachate and offsite
discharge to the local river; pump and treatment at the BFG plant site of
ground water using air stripping and biological treatment or activated
carbon adsorption, and discharge to the local river; possible treatment of
ground water with an oil/water separator if ground water contains
significant oil, and temporary onsite storage of oil with transport offsite
to an oil recycling facility; access restrictions; and institutional
controls to prevent residential development. The estimated capital cost for
this remedial action (including all costs related to the Airco site) is
$6,090,000 with present worth O&M estimated to be $3,130,000.

INDEPENDENT NAIL, SC
Second Remedial Action - Final
August 30, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Independent Nail site, occupying 24.6 acres, is located near the
town of Beaufort, South Carolina. The site is surrounded by fields,
woodlands, and wetlands. The United States Fish and Wildlife Service in
1987 indicated that endangered and threatened species may exist in the area
of influence of the site, however, these species have not been confirmed to
be inhabiting areas that may be impacted by the operations at the site. An
estimated 25 residents live within one quarter mile of the site. The Black
& Johnson Company, previous owners of the site, manufactured metallic screws
and fasteners. As part of the manufacturing process, the company discharged
approximately 33,000 gallons per day of plating wastewater into an unlined
infiltration lagoon. The discharge rate may have been as high as
75,000 gallons per day. The lagoon was in use from approximately 1969 to
1980. The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control
reported that wastewater contained some organic cleaning solvents and
metals. In April 1980, the Black & Johnson Company ceased operation. Two
months later, the Independent Nail Company purchased the plant and currently
operates a panneling nail coating process, but does not discharge wastewater
to the lagoon. The first remedial action at this site at this site
addressed the contaminants in the soil and lagoon sediments. This remedial
action at this site addresses ground water contamination. The primary
contaminants of concern include chromium, zinc and cyanide.
i
The selected remedial action for this site addressing ground water is a
no action remedy. The source control remedial action conducted at the site
was determined to have little or no impact on ground water quality in the
area of the site. This remedial action has no costs associated with it.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; The endangerment assessment conducted at
the site indicated that there was no risk to human health or the environment
from ground water.

ROD ABSTRACT
The National Starch and Chemical Corporation (NSCC) site is located in
Rowan County, North Carolina, approximately five miles south of the city of
Salisbury. The site consists of 500 acres and is occupied by the NCSS-owned
Cedar Springs Road Plant which currently manufactures textile finishing and
custom specialty chemicals. Land use adjacent to the site includes
residential and industrial developments such as: warehousing operations on
the east site; a farm on the south side; and residential areas bordering the
southwest and north sides. Ground water in the aquifer beneath the site is
currently used as a source of drinking water with the closest well being
2,200 feet northeast of the site. There are 1,539 homes within a 3-mile
radius of the site that are outside of the city water lines and potential
users of ground water for drinking and other domestic purposes. There is
also potential for humans to directly contact or ingest contaminated waters
through recreational uses of nearby creeks which receive the surface water
runoff from the trench area. From 1971 to 1978, NSCC disposed of
approximately 350,000 gallons of reaction vessel wash waters classified as
D002 waste (corrosive waste with pH less than or equal to 2.0) in trenches
constructed in a 5-acre tract of land located behind the plant. The waste
consisted predominantly of salt brines, sulfuric acid solutions, sulfonating
fats and oils, and solvents. The wastes were disposed of in several
approximately 250 feet by 9 feet deep trenches running east/west and
north/south. Trenches in this area also received liquid effluent from the
plant where it percolated into the ground. After the percolation rate
substantially declined, the trenches were backfilled and seeded. Site
monitoring in 1976 and 1977 revealed shallow ground water contamination
adjacent to or within the trench area. Consequently, the North Carolina
Department of Natural and Economic Resources requested that NSCC cease
onsite waste disposal activities. Since 1978, production plant process
waters have been pretreated in a facility adjacent to and south of the
production area and discharged to the Salisbury publicly owned treatment
works (POTW). The two main areas of contamination identified at the site
are the trench area and the wastewater lagoon area. This Record of Decision
(ROD) will address remediation of ground water; a subsequent ROD will
address soil contamination and, if necessary, sediment contamination. The
primary contaminants of concern affecting the ground water, surface water,
and sediments are VOCs including benzene, TCE, toluene and xylenes, and
metals including arsenic and chromium.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: installation of a
ground water interception and extraction system downgradient of the source
area(s) with pretreatment prior to discharge to the POTW (pretreatment may
include air stripping, filtration through an activated carbon filter, metal
removal, or treatment through the company's existing lagoon system which
includes presettling and surface aeration); and surface water and sediment

monitoring. If the POTW declines to accept the treated ground water, it
will be discharged to a local surface stream under an NPDES permit. The
estimated present worth cost for this remedial action is $3,036,000 with
annual O&M of $55,000.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; Eleven carcinogens and fourteen
non-carcinogens have been identified as chemicals of concern at this site
and have been given cleanup goals. For both carcinogens and non-carcinogens,
cleanup levels are set at the MCL. If an MCL is not available, the cleanup
goal for a carcinogen is set at the limit of detection for that substance,
or for a non-carcinogen the goal is set at the RfD or ACI equivalent.
However, ethyl benzene will meet the proposed MCLG. Individual cleanup
goals include: arsenic 10 ug/1 (MCL), benzene 5 mg/1 (MCL), TCE 5 ug/1
(MCL), chromium 50 ug/1 (MCL), toluene 2,000 ug/1 and xylenes 350 ug/1. The
State of North Carolina belatedly has identified ground water cleanup levels
more stringent than those identified previously; however, even if EPA finds
these standards to be applicable to the site, they would not alter the
remedial action selected.

PERDIDO GROUNDWATER CONTAMINATION, AL
First Remedial Action - Final
September 30, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Perdido Groundwater Contamination site is located in the Town of
Perdido, Baldwin County, Alabama. Site contamination occurred as a result
of a 1965 train derailment on the Louisville and Nashville Railroad (now CSX
Transportation, Inc.). Chemicals (particulary benzene) from derailed tank
cars spilled into drainage ditches, infiltrating the underlying aquifer.
The area of ground water contamination covers approximately 15 acres and is
centered downgradient about 300 yards from the derailment site. The Alabama
Department of Public Health, Division of Public Water Supply (ADPWS) first
documented reports of taste and odor problems in resident's water wells in
1981. Further studies showed benzene contamination in 6 of 27 wells, which
led to supplying bottled water to 250 affected residents. In February 1983
EPA provided immediate removal funding to construct a water supply line to
connect to a nearby town. CSXT voluntarily provided funds for and installed
the water system in July 1983. The primary contaminant of concern affecting
the ground water is benzene.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: ground water pump
and treatment using air stripping or activated carbon adsorption with
reinjection of treated water back into the aquifer, and air monitoring
during operations; and ground water monitoring to measure success of the
cleanup. The estimated capital cost for this remedial action is $169,000
with estimated annual O&M cost of $103,000.

ROD ABSTRACT
The 21-acre Wamchem site is located in Burton, Beaufort County, South
Carolina on a small island in the midst of a salt marsh near McCalleys
Creek, a tidal stream. The creek is considered to be a habitat for the
loggerhead turtle, a federally listed threatened species, and a probable
habitat for the short-nosed sturgeon, also a federally listed endangered
species. The water table aquifer at the site discharges into the creek, and
has no distinct confining unit separating it from the underlying Floridian
aquifer, the principal aquifer in the region. Between 1959 and 1972, the
Beaufort Chemical and Research Company owned and operated the site,
producing dyes for the textile industry. In 1972, M. Lowenstein Company
purchased the facility and continued operations until 1981. When solvent
recovery and recycling operations were discontinued at the site,
M. Lowenstein Company closed the plant in 1982. Liquid wastes generated at
the site were discharged to a drainage ditch leading to two unlined ponds.
A ditch was later extended from one of the ponds, discharging wastes
directly into McCalleys Creek. Waste treatment methods changed, and the
ponds and ditches were replaced by an unlined holding pond and a waste
lagoon in 1972; however, these were soon replaced by two spray fields and a
concrete-lined holding pond in 1975. In 1977, the South Carolina Department
of Health and Environmental Control (SCDHEC) required the company to use a
spray-irrigation technique to improve its wastewater process. The wastes
discharged onto the spray fields consisted of neutralized sulfuric acid and
process water. Although the system was found to be in compliance with
SCDHEC standards, ground water contamination was documented at the site in
1982. Current soil and ground water contaminants include: VOCs, benzene,
toluene, xylenes, semi-volatiles, and organics.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: ground water pump
and treatment using carbon adsorption with offsite discharge to a stream;
excavation and low temperature thermal aeration of 2,000 yd3 of
contaminated soil followed by onsite disposal; and ground water monitoring.
The estimated capital cost for this remedial action is $1,310,000, with
annual O&M of $155,100.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; Ground water cleanup goals were based on
Federal Ambient Water Quality Criteria. Soil cleanup goals were based on
estimates of contaminants that would not result in future exceedances of
AWQC in ground water at the source area due to soil contaminant leaching.
Some individual goals include: benzene 2.43 mg/kg, toluene 34.47 mg/kg,
total xylenes 67.58 mg/kg, and naphthalene 74.57 mg/kg.

ZELLWOOD, FL
First Remedial Action - Final
December 17, 1987
ROD ABSTRACT
The 57-acre Zellwood site is located in the northwestern corner of
Orange County, Florida, approximately one-half mile west of the
unincorporated town of Zellwood. Situated in a rural area, the site is
occupied by four industries and an open field containing a marshy wetland
area. Approximately 300 homes, within a one-mile radius of the site, depend
on private wells as their sole source of potable water. Between 1963 and
1971, Drum Service Company of Florida, a drum recycling facility, operated a
wastewater disposal system without a regulatory permit, treating and
disposing of generated wastewaters in two onsite evaporation/percolation
ponds. In 1980, the company eliminated the use of these ponds for waste
disposal and in August 1981 initiated drainage and removal of contaminated
sediments from the ponds. Douglas Fertilizer and Chemical Company and
Southern Liquid Fertilizer discharged wastewater from their production
process into three unlined surface impoundments. Additionally, from 1960 to
1983, the Zellwin Farms Company facility, a vegetable washing and packing
plant, discharged wastewaters from the vegetable washing process into a
ditch. From 1971 through 1985, the Drum Service Company has had various
types of waste treatment and disposal permits issued by the Florida
Department of Environmental Regulation (FDER). To date, the Douglass
Fertilizer and Chemical Company and the Zellwin Farm Company have not been
permitted by FDER. In December 1982, EPA representatives discovered an
abandoned drum storage area in the northern section of the Zellwood site.
Based on unsubstantiated reports from area residents, material in this drum
storage area may have been there for more than 20 years. In the fall of
1983, EPA oversaw a PRP removal action of the abandoned drum area. The
primary contaminants of concern affecting the ground water, soil, sediments,
and sludge include: organics, inorganics, metals, and pesticides.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: excavation of
soils and sediments with onsite incineration and testing of residuals to
determine appropriate disposal; ground water pump and treatment with
flushing of the treated ground water back through the abandoned drum area to
facilitate cleanup of residual contamination; and a long-term ground water
monitoring program for private potable water wells. The estimated present
worth cost for this remedial action ranges from $41,264,000 to $61,908,000.

ALLIED/IRONTON COKE, OH
Second Remedial Action - Final
September 29, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Allied/Ironton Coke site is located in the City of Ironton, Lawrence
County, Ohio. This remedial action addresses the Goldcamp Disposal Area
(GDA) operable unit of the site. The other operable unit, comprised of the
coke plant, lagoons, and the tar plant, is addressed in a separate remedial
action. The GDA is a four-acre disposal pit located in a mixed industrial/
business/residential area bounded by Third Street on the east and the Ohio
River on the southwest. Several businesses and institutions are within 100
feet of GDA. Allied Chemical and Dye Company has owned the property since
1955. The GDA was a sand and gravel pit used for disposal of various
chemical wastes from three sources between 1945 and 1977. The wastes
include: anthracene residue, anthracene salts, phthalic anhydride residue,
and miscellaneous process wastes from the Tar Plant; foundry sand containing
heavy metals, phenolics, and oils from the Dayton Malleable Iron Company;
and wastes disposed of by the Goldcamp Gravel Company. In 1977, Allied
decided to discontinue use of the GDA for disposal of chemical wastes.
Allied and its contractor, in consultation with the Ohio Environmental
Protection Agency (OEPA), completed a closure project at the site in August
1980, which involved removal of standing liquids and filling and capping the
site with clay. Subsequent hydrogeologic and water quality investigations
indicated that there is ground water contamination at the site which may
pose a threat to public health through migration. The volume of the
disposal area is approximately 300,000 yd^. In addition to this primary
area of contamination, there is a zone of nonaqueous-phase contaminants
which have migrated through the aquifer to the underlying impermeable
bedrock layer. The extent of the contaminated area is uncertain, but the
volume is estimated to be 156,000 yd3. The surface of the GDA is also a
source of contamination because many substances have oozed up through the
existing cap. The primary contaminants of concern affecting the soil and
ground water are VOCs including benzene, other organics including phenols
and PAHs, and inorganics including cyanide.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: construction of a
slurry wall around the disposal area from ground surface into the low
permeability bedrock; installation of a multi-media RCRA cap over the
surface of the disposal area; extraction and onsite treatment of ground
water from inside and outside the containment system; provision of an
alternate water supply for the Ironton Iron Company until ground water
cleanup levels are met; imposition of deed restrictions to limit future uses
of the property; and preparation of a supplemental RI/FS to identify the
extent and nature of the nonaqueous-phase contaminant layer with
implementation of the Agency-approved remedy for this contamination, if
different from the present containment alternative. The estimated present
worth cost for this remedial action is $13,130,000 with annual O&M costs of
$515,000 for approximately 30 years.

BELVIDERE LANDFILL, IL
First Remedial Action - Final
June 29, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Belvidere Landfill (BL), occupying 19.3 acres of the 139-acre site,
is located just outside the City of Belvidere, County of Boone, Illinois.
The site is located within the 100-year flood plain of the Kishwaukee River,
which is adjacent to the site. Located within the site boundaries are two
ponds and a drum disposal area. The City of Belvidere owned the landfill
from 1939 to 1973, operating first as a municipal landfill until 1965 and
then as an industrial landfill until 1973. In late 1970, the City of
Belvidere applied for a solid waste disposal permit. The application was to
permit the disposal of 52 tons per day of domestic garbage, landscape
wastes/ partially dewatered sludge, and demolition material. However, in
1971, the operator disclosed that up to 100 tons per day of wastes were
being deposited. This waste consisted of 35 tons of residential waste, 30
tons of industrial source waste, and 35 tons of commercial source waste.
Approximately 790,000 yd3 of waste were disposed of at the landfill. IEPA
denied the City's permit application in January 1971, and the landfill was
formally closed in 1973. Between 1975 and 1982, IEPA repeatedly cited the
landfill for inadequate cover violations. In the summer of 1979, sand from
adjacent areas and prairie plant vegetation were applied as a final cover.
The primary contaminants of concern affecting the soil and ground water
include: organics, PCBs, PAHs, metals, and lead.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: RCRA Subtitle C
capping over the 19.3-acre landfill; treatment or containment of soil from
the drum disposal area following resampling to determine the magnitude of
PCB contamination; ground water pump and treatment possibly using air
stripping with discharge to either the Kishwaukee River or the city
treatment plant; ground water monitoring; pond and river fish monitoring;
installation of an upgraded fence; deed restrictions to control unacceptable
onsite activities and construction; and flood control measures to prevent
erosion of the cap and landfill contents. The estimated capital cost for
this remedial action is $5,900,000 with annual O&M of $271,000.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; The ground water extraction and treatment
system will operate until a 10"^ cumulative life-time cancer risk is met
at the point of compliance. PCBs greater than 50 mg/kg will be disposed of,
or incinerated, offsite. PCBs less than 50 mg/kg will be consolidated on
the landfill. Quantitative goals were not specified for other contaminants.

COSHOCTON LANDFILL, OH
First Remedial Action - Final
June 17, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Coshocton City Landfill (CCL), an 80-acre landfill, is located in
Franklin Township, Coshocton County, Ohio. The landfill is built on
abandoned, subsurface strip mines, where an extensive network of mine shafts
were developed. CCL is located between two small intermittent creeks that
drain toward the Muskingum River, 1.5 miles to the west of the site. The
area is characterized by considerable topographic relief, with small streams
situated between steep rolling hills. Most of the surrounding land is
either woodlands or pasture land used for cattle grazing. The landfill
property was used in the early 1900s, and again from the mid-1950s until
mid-1979, for subsurface shaft mining of coal. The city conducted landfill
operations at the site between 1968 and 1979; however, the operations were
not well recorded. The waste received at the landfill consisted of mixed
municipal refuse and industrial wastes including relatively inert solid
scrap wastes, nonhazardous materials, and hazardous liquid waste types such
as spent chlorinated solvents, non-chlorinated flammable solvents, resins,
and prasticizers. Much of the landfilled waste is situated in the void
created by abandoned strip mine operations. Some waste was also reportedly
placed in shallow excavations in the southern portions of the site.
Currently, portions of the landfill site are covered with what appears to be
mine spoil materials. The cover on the site however is, not consistent,
with little or no cover in some areas. In addition, standing water is
observed in several areas. Scattered surface deposits of drums and other
metal objects are present at the site. Numerous leachate seeps exist on
portions of the landfill. The primary contaminants of concern affecting the
surface and ground water at this site include: carbon disulfide, TCE, PAHs,
chlorinated and non-chlorinated solvents, and heavy metals (mostly arsenic).
The selected remedial action for this landfill includes: installation
of a 2-foot low permeability soil cap over the landfill, with top soil and
vegetation; imposition of deed restrictions, including fencing; filling and
grading the necessary areas; and possible installation of a gas collection
and venting system, as well as a leachate collection system and a drainage
layer. This remedial action will also include routine ground and surface
water and sediment monitoring to identify changes in contamination
concentrations. The implementation of this remedial action will entail a
capital investment of $8,010,000 with a present value of O&M cost of
$910,000 associated with the remedy.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; The goal of this remedy is to reduce the
contaminant concentrations in the soil, surface and ground water. The
current health-based risk levels for these media are:
3 x 10~6, 3 x 10~6 and 3 x 10~4 (all for arsenic), respectively.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS; Deed restrictions would support and strengthen the
effectiveness of the soil cover in limiting direct contact.

EAU CLAIRE MUNICIPAL WELL FIELD, WI
First Remedial Action - Final
March 31, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The 500-acre Eau Claire Municipal Well Field (ECMWF) site is located in
northwestern Eau Claire County and southwestern Chippewa County, Wisconsin,
at the confluence of the Eau Claire River and the Chippewa River. ECMWF
supplies drinking water to approximately 57,600 residents and numerous
commercial establishments in the city of Eau Claire and Washington
Township. Ground water from five municipal wells in the north well field is
contaminated with VOCs. The contamination at the ECMWF site has been
characterized as two separate plumes with the estimated volume of
contamination at Plume 1 and 2 of 1.9 x 108 ft^ and 2.6 x 108 ft-*,
respectively. The Chippewa River is not believed to be affected by this VOC
contamination due to municipal well pumping which prevents ground water
discharge into the river. In March 1981, as part of the EPA Ground Water
Supply Survey, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) tested
the Eau Claire municipal water supply for VOCs and did not detect VOCs at
levels of immediate concern. Additional testing of the city's active
production wells, in January 1982, showed VOC concentrations below health
advisory levels. Concerned about the future use of the water supply,
additional testing was conducted in September 1982 and January 1983 to
identify the source and extent of VOC contamination. Several residential
wells reported detectable levels of VOCs including 1,1-dichloroethene
concentrations in excess of the WDNR health advisory. The primary
contaminants of concern affecting the ground water are VOCs including:
chloroform, DCE, dichloroethene, PCE, TCE, and trichloroethane.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: ground water pump
and treatment' using the existing air stripper with discharge of treated
water to the municipal water system and untreated water to the Chippewa
River; and provision of municipal water to private well users within or near
the area of ground water contamination. The estimated capital cost for this
remedial action is $1,214,200 with annual O&M of $396,700.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; Individual contaminant goals are below MCLs
and State Health Advisory levels, are based on the achievement of an
additive 10~6 risk level. The target cleanup levels (TCLs) for Plume 1
include: trichloroethene 0.5 ug/1, 1,1-dichloroethene 0.1 ug/1, and
tetrachloroethene 0.01 ug/1. The TCLs for Plume 2 include: trichloroethane
0.4 ug/1, chloroform 0.06 ug/1, 1,1-dichloroethene 0.007 ug/1, and
tetrachloroethene 0.09 ug/1.

FOREST WASTE DISPOSAL, MI
Second Remedial Action - Final
March 31, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Forest Waste Disposal site consists of an 11-acre, abandoned
municipal and industrial waste landfill and 9 surface impoundments. It is
located in Genesee County, Michigan, 20 miles northeast of Flint, and is
surrounded by agricultural land and undeveloped woodlands and wetlands. An
estimated 20 to 30 households are located within a quarter mile of the
site. Wetlands in the site vicinity drain into Butternut Creek which
eventually discharges into the Flint River. The site is underlain by two
drinking water aquifers. Forest Waste Disposal conducted landfill
operations from 1972-1978, receiving limited types of liquid industrial
waste, general household refuse, and drummed waste until 1978. Specific
waste material found within the landfill includes PBB-contaminated feed,
septic sludge, and drums containing primarily solid and liquid VOCs in high
concentrations. The operator also was suspected of discharging liquid
wastes into the landfill and onto the ground. In 1982, the site was placed
on the NPL. This remedial action addresses the landfill and contaminated
ground water on the east end of the site. Contamination from the nine waste
lagoons is considered to be the primary source affecting ground water and is
addressed in a previous remedial action, which includes: offsite treatment
and disposal of lagoon liquid, with onsite treatment and offsite disposal of
lagoon sediment, sludge and soil. The primary contaminants of concern
affecting the soil and ground water are VOCs including toluene and TCE;
other organics including pesticides, PAHs and PBBs; and metals including
arsenic and lead.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: removal and either
onsite or offsite incineration of approximately 4,000 drums and 1,000 yd^
of associated contaminated soil; installation of a containment system
including a RCRA cap, slurry wall, dewatering system and a leachate
collection system; and treatment and disposal of collected leachate. The
ground water remedy includes: deed restrictions to prevent use of the
ground water as a drinking water source; access restrictions; and ground
water monitoring. The estimated present worth cost for this remedial action
is $23,820,000 with an annual O&M of $440,500.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; The remediation of the landfill will
prevent migration of contaminants to a drinking water aquifer in excess of
MCLs, lifetime health advisories, and noncarcinogenic reference doses, and
will result in an excess lifetime cancer risk range of 10~4 to 10~7.
The remedial action also will prevent migration to surface water bodies in
excess of Federal and State water quality criteria. Cleanup goals for
individual chemicals were not specified.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS; Deed restrictions will be implemented to prevent
use of the ground water onsite and from areas adjacent to the site as a
drinking water source.

FORT WAYNE REDUCTION, IN
First Remedial Action - Final
August 26, 1987
ROD ABSTRACT
The 35-acre Fort Wayne Reduction site (FWD) is a former municipal
landfill/waste disposal facility located along the Maumee River just east of
the city of Fort Wayne, Allen County, Indiana. Two onsite areas are
designated as wetlands. In addition, the site lies within a 100-year flood
plain. The primary land use in the general area is light industrial and
commercial. In addition, other landfills, a wastewater treatment plant, and
sludge drying beds are located along the Maumee River in the vicinity of the
site. Two residential communities are located approximately one-half mile
from the site. Before 1967, the site was uncultivated farmland often used
for the dumping of unknown waste. The.site accepted residential and
industrial wastes from 1967 to 1976. Few records were kept on the volume
and composition of wastes, or on the industries that generated the wastes.
From May 1967 to August 1970, FWD was issued a county permit for public
disposal of garbage and rubbish. Wastes were incinerated and the residual
ash disposed of onsite. In 1970, FW changed its name to National Recycling
Corporation (NRC) and built a recycling plant which apparently became
inactive after February 1975. Inspection reports indicated that deposited
refuse included: industrial and liquid wastes, municipal wastes, garbage,
paper, and wood. A 40- to 60-foot diameter pit adjacent to the Maumee River
contained pools of volatile liquids. Wastes were disposed of into the pit
by cutting off the drum tops and emptying the contents into the pit. NRC
operation became part of Service Corporation America (SCA) in 1973. In
1974, SCA was denied a municipal refuse permit due to site closure problems
encountered following high water levels. Hazard Ranking System records
indicate the entire site's waste quantity was equivalent to 2,820
fifty-gallon barrels. In 1984, Waste Management Inc. (WMI) acquired SCA
and conducted an initial site investigation. The site has been inactive
since 1976. The site consists of two characteristically different areas
reflecting its historical use: the eastern half of the site was used as the
municipal/general refuse landfill (approximately 15 acres), and the western
half of the site (approximately 5 acres) was used for disposal of industrial
wastes, building debris, barrels of unidentified wastes, and residual ash
from earlier incineration operations. Presently, soil and ground water are
contaminated with 43 chemicals of concern including: metals, organics,
PCBs, PAHs, phenols, and VOCs.
The selected remedial action for the eastern portion of the site
includes: deed and access restrictions; soil capping consistent with State
solid waste closure requirements; and long-term ground water monitoring.
The selected remedial action for the western portion includes: excavation,
re-consolidation, and on- or offsite incineration of approximately
4,600 drums containing liquids from Area C, followed by soil capping in
accordance with "hybrid" (alternate landfill) closure requirements; ground
water collection and treatment, if necessary, with discharge to the river;
deed and access restrictions; provision and maintenance of flood protection

measures for the portions of the site within the 100-year floodplain; and
compensation for any loss of wetlands due to remedy construction by
enhancing onsite wetlands. The estimated present worth cost for this
remedial action is $10,020,000.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS;- Contaminant levels in the area of the
municipal landfill do not pose a threat to human health or the environment.
Ground water monitoring will ensure protection of the river through the use
of ACLs as a performance standard. Specific goals will be determined during
design. MCLs are not considered ARARs, since ground water is not used as a
drinking water source. The fate of ground water in the waste disposal
facility area will be determined during design.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS: Deed restrictions will be implemented to control
future development and ground water use at the site.

IMC/TERRE HAUTE, IN
Second Remedial Action - Final
June 22, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The IMC/Terre Haute site is located in southeastern Terre Haute, Vigo
County, Indiana. The 37-acre site is bordered on the west by the Milwaukee,
St. Paul, and Pacific Railroad and on the east by the Louisville Railroad.
The site is part of a semi-industrialized area of Terre Haute and is
1.8 miles east of the Wabash River and 1 mile north of the Thompson ditch.
A waste disposal area, encompassing approximately six acres, is located in
the northeastern portion of the plant site. From 1946 to 1954 a small
facility on a six-acre segment of the property manufactured, packaged, and
warehoused technical-grade benzene hexachloride (BHC-tech). This material
was confined to areas sold to insecticide manufacturers as a raw material
for the production of insecticides, including lindane. The site has been
owned by International Minerals and Chemical Corporation since 1975. IMC
conducted surficial and subsurficial soil sampling in 1979, finding that
contamination was confined to areas within seven feet of the surface and
well above the ground water table. Seven ground water monitoring wells were
installed at the site, and samples indicated measurable BHC concentrations
in two of the wells. In 1980, approximately 28,500 yd3 of soil, rubble,
piping and other debris were excavated and placed in a secure clay-capped
mound to prevent offsite migration of BHC-tech. The cap system included a
surface drainage collection system and soil gas venting. The concentration
in ground water of lindane, the gamma isomer of BHC, declined relatively
quickly after construction of the mound and has continued to decline at a
slower rate since 1983. The soil cleanup and mound construction has proven
to be effective in containing the source of BHC-tech and in reducing ground
water contamination to MCL and MCLG concentrations. The primary
contaminants of concern are lindane and total BHC.
The selected remedial action for this site is no further action with a
maintenance program, which includes: inspection of the existing cap
quarterly, and maintenance of the vegetative cover; initiation of a ground
water monitoring program (sampling of upgradient and downgradient wells
semi-annually for the next five years and then annually until 2010); access
restrications; and establishment of a contingency plan. The estimated
present worth cost for this remedial action is $159,000 for O&M of the
existing system.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; Contaminant levels immediately downgradient
of the mound are well below the MCL (4.0 ug/1) and MCLG (0.2 ug/1) for
lindane in drinking water. Should contamination reach the MCLG level, or
show a consistent, significant (order of magnitude) rise above prevailing
levels over more than two monitoring periods, additional samples will be
taken to determine if remedial action may be necessary.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS; Deed restrictions will be imposed on land use of
the property.

KUMMER SANITARY LANDFILL, MN
Second Remedial Action
September 30, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Kummer Sanitary Landfill is a 40-acre site located in Northern
Township, Beltrami County, Minnesota. The site consists of a 35-acre
landfill and the Kummer residence located in the extreme southeast corner of
the property. To the north and west of the site, the land is sparsely
settled with farm residences. A large residential community lies about
1,000 feet to the east and west, and the City of Bemidge is located 0.5 mile
south of the site. The city uses ground water for its drinking water; its
wells are 0.25 mile west of the site. There are numerous wetlands and lakes
within the area of the site. Between 1971 and 1983 the site operated as a
sanitary landfill, accepting mixed municipal waste. Landfill operations
consisted of excavating trenches, filling the trenches with waste materials,
and covering the fill with onsite sand and gravel deposits. The trenches
may have been excavated to the water table and the waste placed in direct
contact with ground water. Beginning in 1974, demolition debris consisting
of fly ash and sawdust were disposed of onsite. In 1982 and 1983 the
Minnesota Pollution Control Agency sampled ground water from onsite
monitoring wells and discovered 19 VOCS including TCE, PCE, and benzene. In
1984, VOCs were also discovered in offsite shallow residential wells
downgradient of the site; consequently, in 1985 the site was ordered
closed. In June 1985 a ROD was signed to provide an alternate water supply
to approximately 244 homes affected by contaminated ground water. The
primary contaminants of concern affecting ground water and soil are VOCs
such as TCE, PCE and benzene.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: site grading and
consolidation of soil and other waste material; placement of a sloping
foundation layer of natural soil fill; capping with a cover system
consisting of a gas control layer, a barrier layer of low permeability
material (clay or flexible synthetic membrane), and a drainage layer with
placement of cover soil and a vegetative layer; access and deed restrictions
limiting future site use; and groundwater and landfill gas monitoring. The
estimated capital cost of the selected remedy is $7,400,000 to $12,500 for
the clay cap and $6,900,000 to $11,200,000 for the synthetic membrane, with
annual O&M costs of $35,000 and $33,000, respectively.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS! Not applicable.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS; Access and deed restrictions will be implemented to
limit future use of the property.

LASALLE ELECTRICAL UTILITIES, IL
Second Remedial Action - Final
March 30, 1988
SOD ABSTRACT
The LaSalle Electrical Utilities (LEU) site is located in the city of
LaSalle, west-central LaSalle County, in north-central Illinois. There are
approximately 190 people and 70 residences located within one-eighth mile of
the LEU property. LEU, a former manufacturer of electrical equipment, began
operating prior to World War II. Between the late 1940s and 1978, PCBs were
utilized in the production of capacitors. Undocumented reports allege the
application of PCB-contaminated waste oils as a dust suppressant both on and
off the property until as late as 1969. Following the regulation of PCBs,
manifests document the disposal of PCBs at all regulated facilities.
Beginning in September 1975, numerous government agencies conducted various
inspections and issued complaints and orders to the LEU company as a result
of its manufacturing and handling practices. Soil sampling conducted by the
Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) in December 1980 documented
onsite PCB contamination. Continued soil sampling revealed offsite
contamination in March and May 1981. The IEPA ordered the company to cease
operations in May 1981. The U.S. EPA conducted Immediate Removal Actions
that involved fencing the LEU property and capping a portion of the heavily
contaminated onsite property; capping contaminated offsite property to the
south of the site; and staging, sampling, and packaging PCB waste material
for future disposal. The first operable unit ROD, signed
September 19, 1986, addressed offsite soil contamination. This second
remedial action operable unit addresses PCB and VOC contamination in soil,
sediments, building structures, and ground water.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: excavation and
onsite incineration of contaminated soil and replacement with clean fill;
high pressure flushing and mechanical cleaning of affected sewer lines;
excavation and onsite incineration of contaminated sediment from the unnamed
creek downstream of the storm sewer discharge; ground water collection and
onsite treatment using phase separation, filtration, and air stripping with
discharge to the local waste water treatment plant via sanitary sewers; and
demolition and offsite disposal of contaminated LEU building structures.
The estimated present worth cost for this remedial action is $34,495,180.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; Contaminated ground water will be collected
to achieve MCLs for VOCs (specific chemicals and associated values not
specified) and PCBs 1 ug/1. Soils will be excavated consistent with the
cleanup levels selected in the 1986 ROD. Specifically, the levels for PCBs
are 5 mg/kg in surface soils and 10 mg/kg at depths greater than one foot
when clean fill material is used to return the area to its original grade.

LONG PRAIRIE, MN
First Remedial Action - Final
June 27, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Long Prairie site, as defined by the extent of the plume of
contaminated ground water, extends 2,100 feet by 1,000 feet in Long Prairie,
Todd County, Minnesota. The Long Prairie River flows within 500 feet of the
contaminant plume. In August and October 1983, routine municipal well
monitoring by the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) indicated
contamination in two of five municipal wells. The MDH ordered the two wells
shut down in October 1983, and in November 1983, issued an advisory to
provide bottled water for area residents. About 50 of the area's 300
private wells were affected by the ground water contamination. Since the
advisory was issued, 39 of the 45 homes using contaminated ground water have
been connected to the municipal drinking water system. Well monitoring in
1984 implicated an area dry cleaning operation as the potential source of
contamination. The primary contaminants of concern affecting 7,000,000
gallons of ground water and 3,800 yd3 of soil are VOCs including DCE, PCE,
and TCE.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: ground water pump
and treatment using air stripping with discharge to the river; spill
treatment using active soil venting; and ground water monitoring. The
estimated capital cost for this remedial action is $890,000 with annual O&M
of $390,000 for year 1 and $250,000 for years 2-5. The estimated present
worth cost for this remedial action is $2,000,000.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; Remediation will attain a 10~6 increased
cancer risk level. Based on this level, PCE will be treated to 1,200 mg/kg
and 5 ug/1 in soil and ground water, respectively. The target ground water
cleanup level for TCE is expected to be below the MCL value of 5 ug/1.

MASON COUNTY LANDFILL, MI
First Remedial Action
September 28, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Mason County Landfill site is located three miles south of the City
of Ludington, Mason County, Michigan. The site occupies approximately
18 acres of a predominantly rural area in Pere Marquette Township.
Approximately 10 acres of the site were used as a landfill. Less than 500
feet from the landfill there is a wetland area which drains into Babbin
Pond, the headwaters of Iris Creek. There are 14 residential wells within a
0.5 mile radius of the landfill. The population within a 3-mile radius of
the site is estimated to be 1,112. The Mason County Department of Public
Works (DPW) leased the property in 1971 and entered into an agreement with
Acme Disposal, Inc. to operate the site as a sanitary landfill. Although
the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) documented that slurry
and sludge wastes from local industries were being dumped at the landfill,
the site's license was renewed annually until it was closed in August 1978
after reaching capacity. Public concerns over the water quality in Iris
Creek prompted the DPW and MDNR to review closure activities. The site is
currently owned by Mason County as result of a settlement with two property
owners who filed suit against the county. In 1983, a clay cap was installed
over the landfill and berms and storm drains were constructed to improve
site drainage. Two surface aerators were installed in Babbin Pond to
facilitate biodegradation of organic matter and 15 gas vents were placed in
the top of the landfill. The site has been separated into two operable
units; one for the landfill contents and one for the ground water. This
source control remedial action addresses the landfill contents.
Contamination of the shallow and deep aquifer will be addressed in a
subsequent remedial action. Site investigations indicate that contamination
of surface water, surface sediment, soil, and offsite air quality are not
sufficient to warrant remedial action. The primary contaminants of concern
affecting the ground water are VOCs including benzene, PCE, TCE, and xylene.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: construction of a
RCRA cap over the landfill; access restrictions; deed restrictions on and
near the site to prohibit use of the shallow aquifer; and ground water
monitoring. The estimated present worth cost for this remedial action is
$2,800,000, with present worth O&M costs of $1,000,000 over -30 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; The general remedial action goals are to
prevent direct contact with contaminant sources and to minimize future
release of contaminants. Establishment of performance standards for the
cleanup of ground water contamination is deferred until a remedy is selected
for the ground water operable unit.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS; Deed restrictions will prohibit future site
development or installation of water supply wells on the site.

MID-STATE DISPOSAL LANDFILL, WI
First Remedial Action - Final
September 30, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Mid-State Disposal (MSD) site is an abandoned municipal and
industrial waste landfill located in central Wisconsin, in Cleveland
Township, Marathon County, about 4 miles northeast of Stratford. The area
surrounding the site includes an abandoned railroad track partially bounding
the west and north, two offsite sludge disposal lagoons owned by
Weyerhaeuser, Inc. to the northeast, and private property to the south.
Site runoff enters nearby waterways including the Rock Creek and the Eau
Plune River via unnamed tributaries. Additionally, ground water from the
site is believed to be discharging into a ravine 500 feet south of the
site. MSD conducted landfilling operations from 1970-1979, receiving
municipal, industrial and commercial wastes as well as construction and
demolition debris. Specific wastes received included papermill sludges,
asbestos dust, solvents, pesticides, paint sludges and metals. Four areas
of contamination have been identified at the site. These are: a 25-acre
landfill located in the center of the site and referred to as the Old Mound
area, which contains municipal wastes, papermill sludges, asbestos dust,
pesticides and solvents; a 5-acre interim expansion landfill located to the
west of the Old Mound area and referred to as the Interim Expansion area,
which reportedly contains wastes similar to the Old Mound area with the
exception of papermill sludges; a 3-acre sludge lagoon located northwest of
the Old Mound area which allegedly contains papermill sludges; and an area
along the western edge of the property where leachate ponding had occurred.
Numerous environmental problems and permit violations were noted by the
Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) during a site inspection in
1974. In 1979, Weyerhaeuser Company, a generator of waste disposed at the
facility, agreed to properly abandon the facility. The pond leachate was
removed, and the three waste disposal areas were covered. Leachate
collection systems were installed in late 1979 for both the sludge lagoon
and the Interim Expansion area; only the leachate collected from the latter
is currently removed and treated offsite. Subsequent investigations
revealed that ground water has been contaminated by leachate percolating
from the waste disposal areas and the leachate .pond down to the underlying
aquifer. The primary contaminants of concern affecting the ground water,
surface water and soil are VOCs including benzene, PCE and TCE, and metals.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: installation of
new soil/clay caps for the lagoon and landfills; site monitoring that
includes ground water, surface water, and landfill gas monitoring; offsite
ground water monitoring; provision of an alternate water supply for nearby
residences; improvement of surface water drainage; leachate and ponded water
collection and offsite treatment; access restrictions; institutional
controls to prevent well installation onsite; and in situ solidification/
stabilization of sludge as necessary for cap support, and landfill gas
flaring, if deemed necessary during pre-design. The estimated present worth
for this remedial action is $16,000,000 with annual O&M of $22,000 for the
first year, and $100,000 for years 2-30.

NL/TARACORP/GOLDEN AUTO PARTS, MN
Second Remedial Action - Final
September 29, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The NL/Taracorp/Golden Auto Parts site is located in St. Louis Park,
Hennepin County, Minnesota. A secondary lead smelting facility operated
onsite from 1940 until 1982. Land use adjacent to the site is light
industry. There are residential areas within 0.25 mile of the site to the
north, east, and west. Aquifers beneath the site serve as primary sources
of drinking water in the area, supplying 90 percent of all ground water used
in the region. The site was originally owned by NL Industries, Inc., but
was later divided and each portion sold to a succession of owners. One of
these owners, Taracorp, owned and operated the lead smelting facility from
August 1979 until February 1981. Secondary lead smelting operations
recovered lead from lead plates, battery fragments, and lead containers.
The industrial operations and onsite waste disposal activities resulted in
elevated lead levels in air and onsite soil. Under a Consent Order, NL
conducted onsite investigations and cleanup activities between 1985 and 1988
including soil remediation, capping the site with asphalt, and establishing
a long-term ground water monitoring program. As part of the Consent Order,
NL was also required to investigate and, if necessary, clean up soil near
the site possibly contaminated by windblown contaminants. This remedial
action addresses the possibility of offsite soil contamination.
Investigations indicate that offsite soil does not contain elevated levels
of lead attributable to the site. There are no contaminants of concern
attributable to the site affecting the offsite soil.
The selected remedial action for this site is a no action remedy. The
one residential yard that exceeds state and ATSDR guidance levels for soil
lead is not clearly attributable to the site, but will be addressed through
a cooperative cleanup by NL Industries. There is no capital cost or O&M
associated with this remedial action.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; The no action remedy attains the state ARAR
of 1,000 mg/kg for soil lead, as well as the ATSDR guidance level of
500 to 1,000 mg/kg.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS; Not applicable.

NINTH AVENUE DUMP, IN
First Remedial Action
September 20, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Ninth Avenue Dump (NAD) is a 17-acre inactive chemical and
industrial waste disposal site located in Gary, Indiana. NAD is located in
a low-lying area with poor drainage. Prior to filling, the site consisted
of parallel ridges separated by wetlands areas. Hazardous waste disposal
activities occurred at the site from early to mid 1970s with some filling
continuing until 1980. The site accepted dry industrial, construction and
demolition waste, oil, solvents, paint solvents and sludges, resins, acids,
and flammable, caustic and arsenic-contaminated materials. A small-scale
auto wrecking operation was observed at the property in 1975 by the Indiana
State Board of Health (ISBH) which also documented the presence of 10,000
55-gallon drums at the site, many of which were empty. Additionally, the
ISBH estimated that approximately 500,000 gallons of liquid industrial waste
and 1,000 buried drums were present at the site. Subsequent inspection
revealed portions of discarded auto batteries, drummed liquid wastes, and
abandoned tanker trucks. In 1975 and 1980 EPA ordered the site operator to
initiate surface cleanups. Subsequently, he removed some barrels, junk
cars, and trucks. This first operable unit addresses remediation of an oil
layer floating on the ground water surface, the principal environmental
threat at the site. The quantity of oil under the site is estimated at
250,000 to 700,000 gallons, of which 100,000 to 500,000 gallons are
estimated to be recoverable. Several organic and inorganic contaminants
have been detected in the oil in higher concentrations than in other media.
Oil seeps have been observed in onsite ponds leading to concerns that the
oil may be affecting aquatic life, and an oil sheen has been seen on several
surface water bodies. The second operable unit will address buried waste,
contaminated soils, and contaminated ground water. The primary contaminants
in the oil layer include: VOCs, benzene, toluene, xylene, PAHs, organics,
PCBs, metals, and cyanides.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: construction of a
soil-bentonite slurry wall to completely surround the hydrocarbon layer;
separate extraction of oil and ground water through a series of central
extraction wells, followed by storage of the recovered oil in an onsite
storage tank and recharge of the treated ground water through recharge
wells; and ground water monitoring. Oil treatment will be evaluated in the
second operable unit along with treatment of the source material at the
site. The estimated capital cost for this remedial action is $1,960,000
with annual O&M of $190,000.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; The remedial action invokes the interim
remedy waiver for contaminant-specific ARARs in ground water and surface
waters; however, ground water extraction and discharge will meet MCLs.
Individual MCL goals were not specified.

OAK GROVE LANDFILL, MN
First Remedial Action
September 30, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Oak Grove Sanitary Landfill covers 45 to 50 acres in Oak Grove
Township, Anoka County, Minnesota, approximately 38 miles northwest of
St. Paul. There are 249 people that live within 1 mile of the site and
6,786 reside within 4 miles. The majority of these residents depend on
water from wells drawn primarily from the lower aquifer, or surface water
sources. Surface runoff from the landfill empties into a wetland to the
south. A creek flows through this wetland, discharging to Rum River two to
three miles southwest of the site. The landfill received 200,000 to
300,000 cubic yards of waste per year from 1976 until it reached its
permitted capacity in late 1983. Most of this waste consists of household
trash and garbage. In addition, waste consisting of oil sludge from an oil
recycling process, paint and solvent wastes, foundry wastes, metal sludges,
organic compounds from pesticide manufacturing, cutting oils and lubricants,
cleaning solvents, and inks are reported to have been buried near the center
of the landfill but their exact location is unknown. Minnesota Pollution
Control Agency (MPCA) and Anoka County records indicate a number of
violations and operational problems throughout the active history of the
site. MPCA discovered a ground water contamination problem from monitoring
well samples obtained at the site in 1984. The primary contaminants of
concern affecting ground water and surface water are VOCs including ethyl
benzene, toluene and xylenes.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: installation of a
security fence; capping with a final cover system consisting of a gas
control layer, a barrier layer of low permeable material or a flexible
membrane and a drainage layer; topsoil cover and vegetation; deed
restrictions; consideration of treatment options for air emissions from gas
vents after construction of the final cover; consideration during design of
the need for extra protection for frost damage without significantly
increasing cost or likelihood of failure; and air and ground water
monitoring. The second remedial action will address the ground water
contamination and possible remediation of the downgradient plume. The
estimated present worth cost for this remedial action is $6,300,000 to
$11,100,000 if a clay barrier is installed, or $5,500,000 to $9,300,000 if a
synthetic membrane barrier is installed, with annual O&M of $42,000 or
$40,000.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; This remedy addresses control of
contaminant migration and risks associated with exposure to the contaminated
materials, and therefore no chemical-specific standards apply.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS; Deed restrictions will be implemented to limit
further use of the site.

PETERSEN SAND & GRAVEL, IL
First Remedial Action - Final
September 14, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
Petersen Sand and Gravel (PSG) is a 20-acre mining site and a former
disposal area located north of Libertyville, Illinois. The site is part of
a tract of land owned since 1979 by the Lake County Forest Preserve District
(LCFPD). PSG is bordered by the Des Plaines River to the west, forest
preserve land and residences to the east, and agricultural land and small
business to the north and south. The site consists of three disposal areas
including a three- to four-acre landfilled area reportedly containing
construction debris, trees and tires; an area that contained 400 to 500
55-gallon drums of paint and solvent wastes; and an area that contained
approximately 500 drums of solvents and 1,000 paint cans. The entire site
is approximately 20 feet below the elevation of the Des Plaines River due to
mining operations which are still continuing and are expected to continue
until the early 1990s. LCFPD is planning to construct a recreational lake
at the site when mining operations cease. Raymond Petersen purchased the
property in 1952, which included a 30-acre parcel east, and a 20-acre parcel
west of the river, and began the sand and gravel operations at the site
later that year. Between 1955 and 1958, unknown refuse was disposed of in
the four-acre landfill. In 1971 the Illinois Environmental Protection
Agency (IEPA) investigated reports of illegal dumping and subsequently
ordered immediate closure of the site. In 1973, the Illinois Pollution
Control Board ordered complete waste removal and covering of the refuse.
Additional reports cited that numerous drums were not removed. These
wastes, consisting of 55-gallon drums of paint and solvent waste, were
removed in 1977. An inspection conducted in 1980 detected no additional
buried drums. The Lake County Grading Company (LCGC) took over the mining
operations in 1983, and discovered additional buried drums of solvents and
paint cans. These containers were removed from the area that year, along
with contaminated soil. In 1984, the site was placed on the National
Priorities List. A 20-acre area in the northwest corner of the site was the
focus of concern. The final remedial investigation report conducted by IEPA
was completed in April 1988, indicating no presence of contaminants at
levels of concern, thus a feasibility study was not necessary. The
investigation analyzed over 150 organic and inorganic compounds, and only
maganese and iron exceeded secondary MCLs.
The selected remedial action for this site is no further action, since
the findings in the RI indicated that previous removal actions were adequate
and that no unacceptable risk remained on site. However, a lake will be
constructed onsite, therefore, surface water and sediment monitoring is
recommended both before and after the lake is in place. Ground water and
precipitation collected in the mining pits will continue to be discharged to
the Des Plaines River in compliance with the NPDES permit until the mining
operations cease. There are no capital or O&M costs associated with this
remedial action.

POER FARM, IN
First Remedial Action - Final
September 29, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The 4.5-acre Poer Farm site is located about 4 miles north of
Charlottesville, in Hancock County, Indiana. The site is an abandoned tract
of land with a collapsed house and barn and an old, inactive well that lies
southeast of the house. The surrounding area is open farmland. The nearest
house is about 0.25 mile from the site and the nearby residents rely on
private wells for their water supply. There are about 270 homes with a
population of about 2,400 within 3 miles of the site. In 1973,
approximately 260 drums of offgrade solvents and paint resins were
stockpiled on the Poer property. In 1981 and 1983, the drums and an onsite
well were tested and found to contain elevated levels of arsenic, cadmium,
lead, and mercury. Emergency cleanup activities were conducted in the
summer of 1983. All wastes were removed from the site and six to eight
inches of soil were removed from the drum storage areas. Subsequent
sampling showed significantly decreased levels of the heavy metals. The
site was fenced and warning signs were posted. An investigation in 1988
indicated that contaminant levels were below Federal and State Health
Standards and that there was no threat to human health or the environment.
The selected remedial action for this site is no further action once
monitoring wells have been successfully abandoned. Previous removal actions
were adequate to protect human health and the environment. There are no
costs associated with this no action remedy.

PRISTINE, OH
First Remedial Action - Final
December 31, 1987
ROD ABSTRACT
The Pristine, Inc. site is located in southwestern Ohio in the City of
Reading (population 12,843), a suburb of Cincinnati. The site is bordered
by residential and industrial areas. Three hundred feet northeast of the
site is a residential trailer park. Eight municipal water supply wells
serving the citizens of Reading are located approximately 300 feet northwest
of the site. In 1974, Pristine, Inc. began liquid waste disposal operations
at the site. Prior to 1974, the site was used for the manufacturing of
sulfuric acid. In the spring of 1977, Pristine, Inc. obtained a permit to
operate a liquid waste incinerator. In April 1979, as many as 8,000 to
10,000 drums and several hundred thousand gallons of bulk liquids consisting
of acids, solvents, pesticides, PCBs, and other chemicals were found
onsite. Disposal operations were ordered to shut down in September 1981, in
accordance with a partial consent order with the State of Ohio. From June
1980 to November 1983, much of the onsite waste was removed in accordance
with a Consent Decree between Pristine, Inc. -and the Ohio EPA. Wastes
stored, and subsequently removed, from the site during this period included
paint sludges, lab packs, flammable solvents, cyanide wastes, pesticides,
chlorinated solvent sludge, DDT, "neutralized" acid sludge, PCB-contaminated
soils, incinerator ash, and solvent/sludge mixtures. Between March 1984 and
July 1984, soil and waste removal activities addressing immediate hazardous
site conditions were performed by some of the PRPs. These activities did
not address the long-term risks associated with the site. The results of
the RI/FS indicated that over 90 compounds were detected in the soil, ground
water, surface water, and sediments including: PCE, TCE, benzene, organics,
metals, pesticides and dioxin (in soils and sediments only).
The selected remedial action for this site includes: excavation and
onsite consolidation on the surface of the site of 1,725 yd3 of
contaminated soils and sediments from the pit area; in-situ vitrification of
37,700 yd3 (average of 10 feet across the entire 2.2-acre site) of
contaminated soils and sediments followed by placement of a vegetative soil
cover over the vitrified mass; ground water extraction and treatment using
air stripping with carbon off-gas and offsite discharge to a creek;
decontamination, demolition, and offsite disposal of all onsite structures
in a solid waste landfill; installation of a french drain; and
implementation of deed and access restrictions. The estimated present worth
cost for this remedial action is $17,094,000 with annual O&M of $94,800.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; The overall health-based cleanup standard
of 10~6 cumulative excess cancer risk at the plume boundary will be met
for all media. Chemical-specific ARARs were specified for 30 contaminants
based on RCRA and Safe Drinking Water Act MCLs and Clean Water Act Water
Quality Criteria.

REPUBLIC STEEL QUARRY, OH
First Remedial Action - Final
September 30, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Republic Steel Quarry site is located in the City of Elyria in
Lorain County, Ohio, southwest of Cleveland. The site is situated between
. West River Road and the West Branch of the Black River, directly west across
1 the river from Franklin School. The site consists of a four-acre quarry
i containing water surrounded by seven acres of fenced-in property. Elyria
surrounds the site, with a population of approximately 58,000. Prior to
1950, the site operated as a sandstone quarry. From 1950 to 1972,
approximately 200,000 gallons of waste pickle liquor (acid wastes used in
steel processing) were discharged to a ditch located on the east side of the
steel plant, which flowed north into the quarry. From 1972 to 1975 the
ditch was used for disposing of rinse water from pickling operations. The
ditch was dammed in 1976 and after this time sulfuric acid used to pickle
the steel reportedly was disposed of directly into the quarry. Heavy metals
were detected in ground water downgradient from the quarry during a site
investigation conducted by EPA in 1983. Further study identified low levels
of numerous contaminants in the ground water. Sediments and surface water
within the quarry contain VOCs and metals. Approximately 100 yd3 of
surface soil from the discharge ditch are contaminated with VOCs and
metals. The primary contaminants of concern affecting surface water,
sediments, and soil are VOCs including toluene, and metals including
chromium and lead.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: excavation and
offsite disposal in a RCRA landfill of approximately 100 yd3 of
contaminated surface soil from the pickle liquor discharge ditch and from
along the southern end of the quarry; implementation of a five-year
monitoring plan including a fish species survey and fish tissue bioassay to
ensure absence of contaminants; and ground water monitoring. The estimated
present worth cost for this remedial action is $63,200. O&M costs were not
provided.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; Waste pickle liquor is identified as RCRA
waste K062, and must meet the specified land disposal restrictions BOAT
levels of chromium 0.094 mg/1 and lead 0.37 mg/1, as measured in TCLP
extract, prior to land disposal. Treatment of the soil at this site is
thought not to be needed to meet the BDAT levels but the test will be
performed prior to disposal to ensure compliance.

SOUTH ANDOVER, MN
First Remedial Action
March 30, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The South Andover site is comprised of several separate parcels of land
totaling approximately 50 acres in the southern portion of Andover,
Minnesota. One-quarter mile to the north of the site is a residential
neighborhood. Further development is planned to the west and the south of
the site. A large portion of the site is buried under a pile of tires and
miscellaneous junk. Several smaller pieces of property on the site are auto
salvage yards. The Waste Disposal Engineering landfill, a Superfund
National Priorities List site, is located 3,000 feet northeast of South
Andover. Multiple waste handling operations occurred between 1954 and 1981
on several properties within the site boundaries. Consequently, there are
multiple source areas which include a drum storage area, a waste discharge
area, and a waste burning area. In 1976, citizen complaints of well
contamination prompted the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) to
investigate the site and issue a Citation of Violation for the storage of
chemical waste. Waste processing was discontinued in early 1977, and waste
acceptance ceased in 1978. In 1980, the MPCA issued Notices of Violation
for improper disposal of industrial wastes. In 1981, the contents of
approximately 700 drums were disposed of by mixing them with waste oil and
using the mixture as fuel. In 1986, a group of PRPs removed approximately
500 additional onsite drums. Soil investigations have been limited by the
presence of a large volume of tires piled onsite and piles of junked
automobiles. The majority of the tires are currently being shredded and
removed from the site. A subsequent RI/FS for soils and the lower sand
aquifer is planned following tire removal. Currently, the primary
contaminants of concern affecting the ground water include: arsenic,
chromium, lead, metals, VOCs, PCE, TCE, toluene, and organics.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: continuous ground
water extraction and discharge to surface water with pretreatment as
necessary; provision of municipal water to private well users on or near the
site; ground water monitoring; and placement of restrictions on new wells on
or near the site. The present worth cost for this remedial action ranges
from $920,000 to $2,460,000 depending on the discharge option selected.
Present worth O&M ranges from $21,000 to $140,000.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; The remedy will meet MCLs by removing the
contaminated ground water in exceedance of MCLs. Individual goals include:
1,1,1-trichloroethane 200 ug/1, 1,2-dichloroethylene 70 ug/1,
ethylbenzene 680 ug/1, toluene 2,000 ug/1, xylene 440 ug/1, arsenic
50 ug/1, and lead 20 ug/1. PCE and chromium will meet the State Drinking
Water Limit of 6.9 ug/1 and 120 ug/1, respectively. The extraction well
system will operate until the completion of the subsequent RI/FS, regardless
of future contaminant levels. Final cleanup levels will be established as
part of the subsequent RI/FS.

SUMMIT NATIONAL, OH
First Remedial Action - Final
June 30, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The 11.5-acre Summit National site is a former coal strip mine in rural
Deerfield Township, Portage County, Ohio, approximately 45 miles southeast
of Cleveland. In the area immediately surrounding the site there are
several residences, two landfills, a cement plant, a rollerska'ting rink, and
a used tire storage lot. There are 9 residential wells within 1,000 feet of
the site. Summit National Liquid Services operated a solvent recycling and
waste disposal facility on the site from 1973 to 1978. Solvents, paint
sludges, phenols, cyanide, arsenic, and other liquid wastes were stored,
incinerated, and buried or dumped during site operations. All onsite media
are contaminated with a variety of organic and inorganic compounds, and
investigations indicate that offsite areas also are affected. In addition,
about 900 to 1,600 buried drums and 4' buried tanks containing hazardous
substances have been identified at the site. In June 1978, EPA ordered
Summit National to stop receiving waste materials and remove all liquid
wastes from the site. No waste was removed before the owner sold the site
in March 1979. Because hazardous chemicals were leaking into the
environment, in September 1979 EPA removed three bulk tanks and their
contents (approximately 7,500 gallons of hexachlorocyclopentadiene) and
contaminated soil, and treated some contaminated water. Surface operations
were conducted between November 1980 and June 1982, during which EPA removed
drums, tanks, various surface debris, and a small amount of contaminated
soil. In March 1987, EPA performed an emergency action to contain and
terminate the actual or threatened release of hazardous materials due to the
critically deteriorating condition of the ponds at the site. The primary
contaminants of concern affecting soil, sediments, ground water, and surface
water are VOCs including benzene, toluene, TCE and xylenes, other organics
including phenols, PAHs and PCBs, and metals including arsenic and chromium.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: excavation and
onsite incineration of approximately 32,000 yd3 of contaminated soil and
sediments and the contents of approximately 1,600 buried drums and 4 tanks,
with disposal of incinerator residuals in an onsite RCRA landfill; ground
water pump and treatment and onsite surface water treatment using
precipitation, flocculation, coagulation, oil and water separation,
filtration, and carbon adsorption, and discharge of treated water to
downgradient surface water; installation of a RCRA cap over the site, with
regarding and revegetation; construction of a slurry wall around the site
perimeter; dismantling and onsite disposal of all onsite structures; limited
access and deed restrictions; ground water and surface water monitoring; and
residence relocation. The estimated present worth cost for this action is
$25,000,000 with annual O&M of $1,132,250.

U.S. AVIEX, MI
First Remedial Action - Final
September 7, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The six-acre U.S. Aviex site is located in the City of Niles, Howard
Township, Cass County, Michigan. The site lies in a residental neighborhood
with single family homes 100 feet to the south, east, and north. Because^
there are no storm or sanitary sewers nearby, surface runoff from the site
and surrounding areas flows toward Bome-Huntly Drain, a tributary of
St. Joseph River, and ultimately Lake Michigan. U.S. Aviex produced
non-lubricating automotive fluids from the early 1960s until 1978. During
operations at the plant, chlorinated hydrocarbons, including trichloroethane
(TCA), were released into the vadose zone south of the process room. The
subsurface soil still contains significant quantities of TCA, TCE, and PCE.
In July 1972, an underground pipeline containing diethyl ether was broken
during excavation near the west wall of the packaging room. Over the next
several years, diethyl ether contamination was identified in downgradient
residential wells southwest of the plant, approximately 0.5 mile away. U.S.
Aviex installed six monitoring wells on the site beginning in 1972 and also
provided alternate water supplies to homes with contaminated wells. In
November 1978, a fire occurred on the site, and the large volumes of water
used to extinguish the fire flushed unknown amounts of chemicals contained
in barrels and tanks into the soil. Following the fire, chlorinated
hydrocarbons were detected in domestic wells. Based on data developed
during a ground water, investigation in 1982, a purge and treatment system
using air stripping and discharge to surface water was designed and
installed to contain the contamination. Contaminated ground water, however,
is currently flowing offsite to the southwest into residential areas. The
primary contaminants of concern affecting soil and ground water are VOCs
including benzene, PCE, TCA, TCE, toluene, and xylenes.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: soil flushing of
approximately 11,500 yd3 of contaminated onsite soil; and collection of
onsite and offsite ground water and fluids from the soil flushing process
with treatment onsite by air stripping, and discharge to surface water. The
estimated present worth cost for this remedial action in $3,024,000.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; Ground water target levels are based on
MCLs, proposed MCLGs, and Federal or State water quality criteria.
Individual goals include benzene 5 ug/1 (MCL), toluene 2,000 mg/1 (PMCLG),
xylenes 440 ug/1 (PMCLG), PCE 0.88 ug/1 (WQC), and TCE 5 ug/1 (MCL).

UNITED SCRAP LEAD, OH
First Remedial Action - Final
September 30, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The United Scrap Lead (USL) site is located in a sparsely populated area
approximately one mile south of the City of Troy, Concord Township, Miami
County, Ohio. The 25-acre site is bounded by two residences, one combined
commercial/residential unit, and one commercial establishment. The entire
USL site lies within the 100-year floodplain of the Great Miami River. From
1946 to 1980, the .site was used by a lead reclamation business, reclaiming
lead from used automobile batteries and selling it to lead smelters. The
majority of the site is currently owned by Bailen Brothers, Inc., the
successor organization to United Scrap Lead, Inc. The lead reclamation
operation involved the separation of the batteries from their casings and
tops, collection of the lead plates for reprocessing, and the disposal of
the tops and casings onsite. The acid was originally discharged directly to
an acid seepage field, but beginning in late 1972, the acid was neutralized
with ammonia prior to discharge. The site first came to the attention of
authorities in June 1967 when USL requested a permit to continue to dispose
of the battery casings in the back portion of the property. The request was
granted, but in 1972 the Ohio Department of Health required USL to implement
a wastewater treatment program to fully neutralize the acid. Subsequent
testing of the wastewater indicated high levels of lead, cadmium, and other
toxic materials. In November 1985, the EPA Region V Emergency Response
Section initiated an emergency removal action. This action removed the
contaminated soil and waste materials from the immediate vicinity of the
surrounding residences and placed them in a large pile onsite (approximately
55,000 yd3). The areas of contamination at the site include the waste
pile and underlying soil, contaminated site soil (approximately
45,000 yd3), contaminated buildings, other miscellaneous wastes,
approximately 100 empty drums, and several partial or intact empty chemical
storage tanks. Approximately 400 yd3 of sediment in a nearby tributary
were found to contain high levels of lead and arsenic, attributed to surface
runoff from the waste pile onsite. The primary contaminants of concern
affecting the soil and sediments include lead and arsenic.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: excavation and
onsite treatment of soil and battery casings by washing, with lead recovery
and offsite disposal or recycling of casing residues and replacement of
cleaned residual soil onsite; excavation and dewatering of tributary
sediments followed by onsite disposal with treated soil; construction of a
soil cover over disposed material and revegetatibri; decontamination of
buildings and debris followed by offsite disposal; installation of a new
residential well; imposition of minimal deed restrictions; and groundwater
and surface water monitoring. The estimated present worth cost for this
remedial action is $26,924,000 with estimated annual O&M costs of $55,375.

VELSICOL CHEMICAL, IL
First Remedial Action - Final
September 30, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Velsicol Chemical Corporation (VCC) is a manufacturing facility
located in east-central Illinois, approximately one mile north of the City
of Marshall, Clark County, Illinois. The site is bordered by a railroad on
the south and by an unnamed tributary on the southwest. A total of
334 acres onsite are leased for crop farming. VCC was in operation between
the mid-1930s and August 1987, and occupied an area of approximately 420
acres, 172 of which were used for production or disposal practices for
petroleum derivatives including resins, solvents, and pesticides, including
chlordane manufacturing. All process wastewater has been deep-well injected
onsite since 1965 and the majority of the waste solids and sludges generated
at the facility were disposed of in a large pond until 1980 when the firm
ceased pond operations. The plant ceased operations in 1987. Accidental
and intentional offsite releases of wastes were noted during the period the
ponds were in operation. In the 1980s, all contaminated soil and visually
contaminated sediments were consolidated and stabilized with cement and fly
ash, and covered with a temporary clay cap and vegetation. The primary
contaminants of concern affecting the soil, sediments, surface water and
ground water are VOCs including benzene and other organics including PAHs
and pesticides.
i
The selected remedial action for this site includes: excavation of
10,200 yd3 of contaminated stream and pond sediments and 87,900 yd3 of
contaminated soil and backfilling with clay, and revegetation; and
consolidation of all excavated material onsite in the large pond with
in-place stabilization followed by construction of a RCRA cap; construction
of ground water collection drain with disposal via onsite deep well
injection or treatment using granular activated carbon prior to offsite
discharge; ground water and surface water monitoring; and implementation of
land use and deed restrictions. The estimated present worth cost for this
remedial action including O&M is $9,080,910.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS; Ground water and surface water collected from the
trench system will be treated to achieve ACLs including benzene 2,000 ug/1;
chlordane 0.0048 ug/1; carcinogenic PAHs 0.031 ug/1; noncarcinogenic PAHs
5.4 ug/1 and phenols 100 ug/1. Soil and sediment cleanup goals will attain
ACLs including benzene 2 mg/kg; chlordane 0.002 mg/kg; carcinogenic PAHs
0.010 mg/kg; non-carcinogenic PAHs 0.046 mg/kg and phenols 100 mg/kg.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROL; Institutional controls including land use and deed
restrictions will be provided until the ground water has been cleaned up to
allowable levels.

WASTE DISPOSAL ENGINEERING, MN
First Remedial Action - Final
December 31, 1987
ROD ABSTRACT
The Waste Disposal Engineering (WDE) site, consisting of 73 acres of a
114-acre dump, is located in the City of Andover (formerly Grown Township),
Anoka County, Minnesota. The site area is characterized by low relief with
shallow water tables and numerous wetlands. During the past year, most
extensive residential development has been or will be constructed and
planned for around the site. The original dump was established in 1963 and
operated until 1908. Disposal of wastes was by burial or burning in pits or
trenches. In 1968, WDE purchased the dump and was licensed by Grow Township
to operate as a sanitary landfill. In 1970, WDE submitted a solid waste
permit application which included a proposal to build a specially
constructed pit for hazardous waste disposal. A permit was issued in March
1971, to operate the site as a sanitary landfill. The pit received
approximately 6,600 containers (ranging from one gallon pail to fifty-five
gallon drums) from 1972 to 1974, in the form of acids, caustics, waste
paints, spent solvents, plating sludges, and cyanides. An undetermined
quantity of hazardous waste, much of it as bulk loads, was disposed
throughout the landfill. Of the 3,200,000 gallons of hazardous waste
thought to be disposed at the site, only ten percent is thought to have been
disposed of in the pit. The area of refuse/non-hazardous waste disposal
covers an area of 73 acres and contains approximately 2,500,000 yd3 of
waste. Much of the landfill is covered by lime sludge. The landfill and
pit have remained abandoned and inactive since February 1984. The site
property has gone through tax forfeiture so that it is currently property of
the State of Minnesota with administration by the county. Currently, the
pit area shows the most serious ground water degradation and is the dominant
source of contaminants entering Coon Creek. The primary contaminants of
concern include VOCs and organics.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: ground water pump
and treatment using carbon adsorption with offsite discharge to Coon Creek;
installation of a RCRA cap to completely cover the 73-acre landfill;
installation of a clay slurry wall; implementation of institutional controls
including well use restrictions; filling in of a wetland, construction of an
alternate wetland area, and extensive monitoring; the estimated capital cost
for this remedial action is $9,504,796 with present worth O&M of $862,915.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; The existing concentrations of contaminants
in Coon Creek will be brought to below the 10~^ health-based risk level
and other freshwater criteria established under the Clean Water Act. The
point of compliance will be set at the landfill boundary. Safe Drinking
Water Act standards are not ARAR since institutional controls will prevent
, use of the contaminant ground water. Also, MCLs have not been established
for site contaminants.

ATCHISON/SANTA FE (CLOVIS), NM
First Remedial Action - Final
September 23, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Atchison/Santa Fe (Clovis) Superfund site is located just south of
the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe (ATSF) Railway switching yard in Clovis,
New Mexico. The site is comprised of an approximately 26-acre playa lake
(Santa Fe Lake) which has been owned by ATSF since the early 1900s. The
surrounding area is mostly industrial, and the lake is currently fenced off
to public access. The lake was used for the disposal of wastewater from
various operations throughout the years. Wastewater from the washing of
hopper cars used for hauling potash, cement, fertilizer, grain, and coke
were disposed in the lake from 1962 to 1982. EPA and ATSF reached an
agreement under an Administrative Order on Consent for ATSF to conduct an
investigation of the lake area. The investigation included sampling of the
lake water, the sediments at the bottom of the lake, the soils between the
lake bottom and the water table, and the ground water underlying the lake.
The major concern at this site is the potential threat to ground water. The
aquifer that extends under the lake is the source of drinking water for the
City of Clovis. Although contamination of the ground water does not pose a
current threat to the city water supply, it does indicate that migration of
contaminants from the lake is possible if the source of contamination is not
removed. The primary contaminants of concern affecting the sediments, soil,
surface water, and ground water are metals including arsenic, chromium and
lead, organics including phenols and inorganics.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: construction of a
run-on control dike and ditch system; evaporation of the water in Santa Fe
Lake through a pump and spray sprinkler system"; excavation and onsite
treatment of the lake sediments through biodegradation; in situ
biodegradation of contaminated soil followed by excavation and placement in
the land treatment area; capping the land treatment area with a PVC liner
and vegetated soil layer; grading and revegetation of the disturbed area;
access restrictions; and ground water and land treatment area monitoring.
Additional action may be taken to remediate ground water contamination if
subsequent monitoring results indicate the need for action. The estimated
present worth cost for this remedial action is $2,840,000.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; The selected remedy is aimed at preventing
contamination of the aquifer and will meet all primary State and Federal
standards for drinking water.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS; ATSF will be prohibited from installing drinking
water wells within site boundaries.

BAILEY WASTE DISPOSAL, TX
First Remedial Action - FINAL
June 28, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Bailey Waste Disposal site is an inactive industrial waste facility
located approximately 3 miles southwest of Bridge City, Orange County,
Texas. The site is part of a saltwater marshland near the confluence of the
Neckes River and Sabine Lake, and lies within the 100-year floodplain. The
site occupies approximately 280 acres and includes two rectangular ponds, A
and B, constructed by dredging the marsh and piling the sediments to form
levees. The ponds were constructed in the mid-1950s as part of the Bailey
Fish Camp, which operated until the 1960s. Industrial wastes, primarily
organics, were disposed of along the north and east margins of Pond A during
the 1950s and 1960s. Four separate areas of contamination in the vicinity
of the ponds have been identified. They include: a waste channel, located
north of Pond A that contains a minimum of 44,000 yd3 of industrial waste
and debris; an area east of Pond A, that contains 21,000 yd3 of municipal
and industrial waste; a drum disposal area south of Pond A, that contains
fifty-eight corroded drums with an estimated volume of 80 yd3 of
industrial waste; and a series of waste pits, north of Pond A and west of
the waste channel, that contains 1900 yd3 of tar-like wastes. The primary
contaminants of concern affecting the sediments include: VOCs including
benzene and toluene, aromatic and chlorinated hydrocarbons, organics
including PAHs, and metals.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: relocation,
consolidation and treatment of contaminated sediments and wastes using a
solidification technique developed during design followed by onsite disposal
and capping of the residual "matrix. The estimated present worth for this
remedial action is $13,700,000.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; No ARARs exist at this site for
contaminated soil and sediments so no chemical specific ARARs are
available. The lifetime risk attained for the direct contact scenario for
an adult exposed to the maximum concentration of contaminants found at the
site will be 9 x 10~6 and for a child it is 1.2 x 10~5.

BRIO REFINING, TX
First Remedial Action - Final
March 31, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The 58-acre Brio Refining site is located in Harris County, Texas,
approximately 20 miles southeast of Houston. The site is broken into two
parcels, 49-acre Brio North and 9-acre Brio South, separated by Drive Farm
Road. The site is bordered by Mud Gully, a flood control ditch that drains
into Clear Creek, Dixie Oil Processors NPL site, Friendswood oil field and
the Southbend residential subdivision. Between 1957 and 1982 the site
refined crude oil and styrene tars to produce toluene, ethylbenzene,
aromatic solvents, naphthalene, diesel fuel and kerosene. Various owners of
the site stored styrene tars in 24 open pits. Other waste products and
sludges were stored in aboveground tanks. Site investigation indicate that
between 500,000-700,000 yd3 of onsite soil have measurable contamination,
and that high levels of VOCs exist in ground water underlying the site.
Primary contaminants of concern affecting the soil and ground water are VOCs
including 1,2-dichloroethane, 1,1,2-trichloroethane, and methylene chloride;
and base/neutral organic compounds including phenanthrene and fluoranthene.
The selected remedial action for the Brio Refining site includes:
excavation and incineration or biological treatment of all onsite soils,
sludges, and liquids found to be above action levels defined in the
Endangerment Assessment, with backfilling of all treated material passing
the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP). If the Brio Site
Task Force (PRPs) can successfully demonstrate the effectiveness of
aqueous-phase biological treatment it will be considered, otherwise,
incineration will be selected; excavation and treatment of all visual onsite
seeps; excavation and removal of all offsite soils contaminated above
background levels; further investigation of Pit G to locate sludge or
contaminated soil underlying the existing onsite wastewater treatment
impoundment; consolidation and disposal of all inert debris and rubble with
ultimate disposition to be determined during remedial design; disposition of
Mud Gully, the flood control ditch, to be determined during remedial design;
inplace stabilization of wastes existing in the wastewater treatment
impoundments, backfilling with dike materials, capping, regrading and
vegetating to improve runoff, and installation of a package wastewater
treatment system or route wastewater to a POTW; removal and offsite disposal
of tank contents, and decontamination, dismantling and selling or offsite
disposal of tanks; dismantling of all onsite process equipment; monitoring
ambient air; control of air emission from the treatment processes; venting
waste enclosures to an emission control device; treatment of ground water in
the Numerous Sand Channel Zone to a level to be determined in design;
natural attenuation of the Fifty-Foot Sand Aquifer with monitoring to ensure
effectiveness; regrading and vegetating areas outside excavation boundaries;
construction of a stormwater transmission system draining to Mud Gully; and
imposition of deed restrictions as necessary. The estimated present worth
cost of this remedial action is $23,308,000-$23,333,000 for biological
treatment or $22,458,000-$26,598,000 for incineration based on 62,900 yd3
of treatable material.

DIXIE OIL, TX
First Remedial Action
March 31, 1988
BOD ABSTRACT
The 26.6-acre Dixie Oil Processors (OOP) site is located in Harris
County, Texas, approximately 20 miles southeast of Houston. The site is
broken into two parcels, 19-acre OOP North and 7.6-acre DOP South, separated
by Dixie Farm Road. The site is bordered by Mud Gully, a flood control
ditch that flows into Clear Creek, Friendswood Oil Field, the Brio Oil
Refining NPL site, and various athletic fields. Between 1969 and 1978, the
DOP North parcel operated as a copper recovery and hydrocarbon washing
facility. Six surface impoundments were used to store copper wastewater and
wastewater from the hydrocarbon washing operation prior to recovery and
treatment. In 1977 the impoundments were closed and decommissioned and the
property sold to DOP. In 1978, DOP began operations on the South parcel of
the site. These activities included the following: regeneration of cuprous
chloride catalyst; hydrocarbon washing to produce ethylbenzene, toluene,
aromatic solvents and styrene pitch; oil recovery; and blending and
distilling chemical residues to produce fuel oil, creosote extender and
molybdenum concentrate catalyst. The North parcel was not used in these
operations. All site activities ceased in 1986. Wastes were disposed of
onsite in tanks, drums, and waste pits. Sampling indicates contamination of
surface and subsurface soils and shallow ground water. The primary
contaminants of concern affecting soil and ground water are ethylbenzene,
hexachlorobenzene, copper, 1,1,2-trichloroethane and methylene chloride.
The selected remedial action for the Dixie Oil Processors site is a
limited action alternative consisting of: site controls including, but not
limited to, fencing and deed restrictions to prevent site access; excavation
and removal of contaminated offsite soils to background levels, the extent
of removal to be determined during remedial design; consolidation and
disposal of onsite debris and rubble, disposal method to be determined
during design; remediation of Mud Gully, details to be determined during
design; operation of the existing wastewater treatment system during
implementation of remedial action, then dismantling and removal upon
completion; removal and disposal of tank contents and drums, and
dismantling, decontamination, and either selling or offsite disposal of
tanks; dismantling and disposal of all process equipment; ambient air
sampling; control of air emissions from treatment processes, if necessary;
sampling and monitoring of Mud Gully sediments and ground water to determine
effectiveness of remedy; and regrading and vegetation of the entire DOP
site. The estimated present worth costs of this remedy is $241,000.

FRENCH LIMITED, TX
First Remedial Action - Final
March 24, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The French Limited, Inc. (FLI) site, a 22.5-acre tract of land, is
located in Harris County, Texas. The site is situated one mile east of the
San Jacinto River. The entire site is within the 100-year flood plain of
the River and has flooded frequently in the past. Between 1966 and 1972,
approximately 300,000 yd3 of industrial wastes from area petrochemical
companies were deposited in an unlined 7.3-acre pit, formerly an active sand
pit. The disposal site operated under a temporary permit issued by the
Texas Water Quality Board. In 1973, the permit was revoked after extensive
public hearings and legal proceedings, and FLI was ordered to cease
operations. As part of the settlement, FLI was ordered to remove all the
structures, tankage, and process equipment. The tract of land was
ultimately deeded to the State. During a flood event, the dike surrounding
the waste pit was overtopped and breached, and contaminated sludges were
discharged into an adjacent slough. In 1982, the U.S. EPA conducted an
immediate Removal Action (IRA). The dike was repaired and the majority of
discharged sludges were pumped back into the pit. The floating portion of
the sludges was removed and disposed of in July 1983 during another U.S. EPA
IRA. Ground water has been heavily contaminated by the leaching action of
organic wastes deposited in the pit. Sludge and soil from the waste pit and
adjacent slough include the following primary contaminants: PCBs, PCP,
organics, VOCs, metals, and arsenic.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: in-situ
biodegradation of sludges and contaminated soils with aeration of the lagoon
waste for degradation enhancement; stabilization of residues followed by
onsite disposal; ground water pump and treatment; surface water discharge to
the San Jacinto River with treatment, as necessary; backfilling of the
lagoon to grade and contour; and ground water monitoring. The estimated
present worth for this remedial action is $47,000,000.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS: Ground water recovery and treatment will
continue until modeling shows that a reduction in the concentration of VOCs
to a level which attains the 10~6 human health criteria can be achieved
through natural attenuation in ten years or less. Additionally, remediation
will be consistent with TSCA regulations and policy for cleanup of PCBs and
PCS contaminated material, Water Quality Criteria for ground water and
surface water, including criteria established in the SDWA and its MCLs.
Individual cleanup goals were not specified.

GURLEY PIT, AR
Second Remedial Action - Final
September 26, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Gurley Pit site consists of a 3.25-acre pit located approximately
one mile north of Edmondson, Crittenden County, Arkansas. The .site lies
within the 100-year flood plain of Fifteen Mile Bayou, which discharges to
the Mississippi River. Land in the vicinity of the site is sparsely
populated with five residences located within a 0.5 mile radius. The
primary land use is agricultural. Gurley Refining Company (GRC) leased the
site from R.A. Caldwell between 1970 and 1980. During this time the pit was
divided by levees into three cells and used between 1970 and 1975 as a state
permitted disposal site for secondary oil refining wastes including acids,
oil sludges, PCBs, inorganics and spent diatomaceous wastes. In March 1975,
citizen complaints regarding discharges from the pit led to investigations
by the Arkansas Department of Pollution Control and Ecology (ADPCE), which
discovered permit and State environmental statute violations by GRC. GRC
abandoned the site in 1976. In May 1978, EPA and ADPCE received complaints
of chronic overflows from storm runoff. These overflows had an adverse
affect on fish and waterfowl in the Fifteen Mile Bayou. Subsequently, EPA
conducted separate spill cleanup operations in July 1978 and April 1979.
EPA completed an Enforcement Decision Document (EDO) in October 1986, which
addressed the source control operable unit consisting of the waste in the
pits and the surface contamination. The selected source control remedy
included treatment and discharge of onsite surface water, offsite
incineration of PCB-contaminated oil, ground water monitoring, and
stabilization and onsite disposal of contaminated sludge, sediment, and
soil. This ROD addresses the ground water operable unit. Investigations
have determined that contaminants from the pit have not migrated through the
subsurface into the ground water. Elevated levels of inorganics
(specifically arsenic and manganese) were detected but were consistent with
background levels. No site-related contaminants were identified in the
ground water.
The selected remedial action for this site is no further action beyond
that already specified in the source control operable unit EDO. The ground
water will be monitored for at least thirty years to ensure that no
migration of the contaminants occurs. There are no Federal capital or O&M
costs associated with this remedial action.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS! Concentrations of metals (e.g., arsenic,
iron and manganese) that exceeded MCLs in ground water were not attributable
to the pit contaminants but exist in elevated levels naturally, therefore,
ground water cleanup levels are not applicable for this site.

INDUSTRIAL WASTE CONTROL, AR
First Remedial Action - FINAL
June 28, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The 8-acre Industrial Waste Control (IWC) site, an abandoned coal strip
mine, is a closed industrial waste landfill about 8 miles southeast of Fort
Smith near Jenny Lind, Sebastian County, Arkansas. Landfilling operations
began in the late 1960s or early 1970s and primarily dealt with municipal
refuse and debris, and industrial trash. In August 1974, the site was
purchased by Grady Shipley and granted an industrial landfill permit by the
Arkansas Department of Pollution and Ecology. The site received a wide
variety of liquid wastes (including methylene chloride, phenols, cresylic
acid, and paints), solid wastes, and sludges. In addition, the site
possibly contains about 9,000 buried drums. In March 1977, surface
impoundments overflowed and contaminated a local pond and pastures north of
the site resulting in a fish kill in the pond and the death of several
cattle. Consequently, the site was covered, recontoured, and closed by the
State in 1978. Land use around the site primarily consists of pasture land
and low density residential areas. Although no residences within a one-half
mile radius north of the site depend on private wells for drinking water,
several local wells are still used for watering lawns and livestock, a fish
pond, and occassionally for domestic uses when the municipal supply is not
functional. Four areas of contamination have been identified at the site.
Area A is the deepest portion of the strip mine which ran along the entire
northern portion of the site, and includes drums containing solidified
wastes typically of dried paint and solidified foam. Area B lies south of
the strip mine and includes shale spoils from surface mining and random
crushed drums. Area C is located in the center of the site and contains two
former surface impoundments constructed in 1975 and used as evaporation
ponds for bulk liquids. Shale spoils, crushed used drums, landfill debris,
and sludge-like sediments were also found in Area C. Area D, located in the
extreme southwest corner south of Area B, contains intact, liquid-filled and
crushed drums as well as contaminated shale spoil. Approximately
19,500 cubic yards of contaminated soil is located in Area C and D. The
primary contaminants of concern affecting the soils, sediments, ground water
and surface water include: VOCs including toluene, organics, and metals
including arsenic, chromium, and lead.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: installation of a
french drain along the south, west and east sides of the site with a
synthetic liner or other barrier, such as a slurry wall installed on the
site side of the french drain; excavation of Area D liquid-filled drums with
offsite disposal; excavation and onsite stabilization of Areas C and D soil
with onsite disposal of residual matrix in the Area C excavation pit;
categorization of solid and liquid wastes resulting from previous
investigations with disposal consistent with Area C and D materials; ground
water pump for offsite treatment, mixture with the contaminated soil and
stabilized onsite, or treatment in an onsite facility with discharge to be
determined during design; multilayer RCRA capping to cover the area bound by
the french drain system and the northern site border; surface water
diversion using ditches and berms; access and land use restrictions; and
ground water and site monitoring. The estimated present worth cost for this
remedial action is $11,400,000.

KOPPERS TEXARKANA, TX
First Remedial Action
September 23, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Koppers Texarkana site is located within the City of Texarkana,
Texas. The site consists of a 34-acre residential area and a 28-acre former
sand and gravel operation. The site is bordered by the Texas and Pacific
Railroad to the north, an unnamed creek to the northwest, Wagner Creek to
the southwest, Jameson Street to the south, and a drainage ditch to the
southwest. The entire site is within a 100-year flood plain. The Koppers
Company operated the site as a wood preserving facility from 1910 to 1961,
using pentachlorophenol (PCP), creosote, and metallic salts in the
operation. The facility consisted of an operations area, a drip track, and
treated and untreated wood storage areas. The site is currently owned by
Carver Terrace, Inc., which built a subdivision of 79 single-family homes on
a portion of the site, and the Kennedy Sand and Gravel Company, which mined
sand and gravel on their parcel from 1975 to 1984. Two other owners of
small portions of the site are the Mount Zion Missionary Baptist Church and
Jesse and Otha Pace. The Texas Department of Water Resources (TDWR) became
aware of the site in 1979 through the Ekhardt Survey. The sand and gravel
pit was fenced off, and in 1985 EPA covered 24 residential lots with soil
and sod to protect the residents while the RI/FS was conducted by Koppers
under an Administrative Order on Consent. The RI indicated that the highest
concentration of site contaminants in the soil were located near the
operations and drip track areas of the old wood preserving facility. In
addition, the highest concentrations in the ground water were noted in or
near pockets of non-aqueous phase liquids (NAPLs) also in these site areas.
The primary contaminants of concern affecting the soil, ground water and
sediments are VOCs including benzene, xylenes, and toluene, other organics
including PAHs and PCP, and metals including arsenic.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: excavation of
approximately 3,300-19,400 yd3 of soil from residential yards where CPAH
levels exceed 100 mg/kg, with backfilling using clean soil, landscaping
disturbed yards, and onsite treatment of the soil using soil washing with
disposal in the Kennedy Sand and Gravel pit or an offsite hazardous waste
disposal facility; temporary relocation of sensitive residents (if
necessary); collection of NAPLs via trenches in the Kennedy Sand and Gravel
pit and/or via a well nest in Carver Terrace and treatment at an onsite
waste water treatment plant using oil/water separation followed by activated
carbon or fluidized carbon bed treatment with recycling or offsite
incineration of recovered NAPLs and reinjection of treated ground water into
the aquifer; ground water monitoring; excavation and treatment of drainage
ditch sediments in the soil washing unit; and deed and access restrictions.
The estimated present worth cost for this remedial action is $6,400,000,
which includes annual O&M costs of $300,000.

NORTH CAVALCADE STREET, TX
First Remedial Action - Final
June 28, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The 21-acre North Cavalcade Street site is located in northeast Houston,
Texas. The surrounding areas are a mixture of residential, commercial, and
industrial properties. Surface water is drained by three stormwater
drainage ditches, one of which flows into Hunting Bayou, a limited aquatic
habitat as classified by Texas Water Quality Standards. The site was
developed in 1946 when Houston Creosoting Company, Inc. (HCCI) established
creosote wood preserving operations. Around 1955, HCCI added
pentachlorophenol (PCP) wood preservation services and other support
facilities. Wood preserving operations ceased in 1961, and the property was
sold in 1964. Subsequent property owners divided the site into smaller
tracts and sold them to a succession of owners. There has been no
industrial activity at this site since 1964. Between September 1985 and
November 1987, EPA sampled all environmental media and found PAHs, VOCs, and
components of creosote in soil, ground water, and sediments. The area of
soil contamination corresponds to where creosote was historically stored,
and the point of entry for the contaminants into the ground water. The
plume of contamination currently covers approximately 4 acres. Creosote
components were found in drainage ditch sediments probably as a result of
rainfall runoff during the time of historical operations. The primary
contaminants of concerning affecting the ground water, soils, and sediments
include: VOCs, benzene, toluene, xylene, and PAHs.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: biological
treatment of 22,300 yd3 of soil (in situ is preferred, however, the
optimum method will be determined after pilot testing); ground water pump
and treatment of 5,600,000 gallons using oil/water separation and carbon
adsorption with re-injection into the aquifer or, if necessary to maintain
the water balance, discharge into an onsite drainage ditch which discharges
into Hunting Bayou; and offsite incineration of all non-aqueous phase
liquids (NAPLs) separated out from the ground water. The estimated present
worth cost for this remedial action is $4,210,000. There is no O&M
associated with this remedy.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; Soil and ground water cleanup will attain a
cumulative 10~^ cancer risk level. Individual soil cleanup goals include
PAHs 1 mg/kg, and benzene 0.04 mg/kg. Individual goals for ground water
include: benzene 5 ug/1 (MCL), toluene 2,000 ug/1, and xylene 440 ug/1.
Additionally, ground water will be treated until all NAPHs are completely
removed.

ODESSA CHROMIUM I, TX
Second Remedial Action - Final
March 18, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Odessa Chromium I site consists of a series of chromium-contaminated
wells within 300 acres of residential, commercial, and industrial properties
and facilities immediately west of West County Road, just outside the
northwestern city limits of Odessa, Ector County, Texas. Nearly every
residence or commercial facility is served by one or more water wells
completed in the underlying Trinity Aquifer, which offers the only source of
potable ground water. Two potential sources of ground water contamination
at the site have been identified: 4318 Brazos property, and 2104 West
42nd Street. In December 1979, the Texas Department of Water Resources
identified the 4318 Brazos property as a potential source of chromium
contamination. Several chrome plating operations functioned at this
property between 1972 and 1977. The site at 2104 West 42nd Street is
presently operating as a metal plating facility. This property was first
identified as a possible source of ground water contamination in 1978. The
first operable unit ROD, signed in September 1986, provided for the
extension of the city's water supply until final ground water remediation is
complete. Although chromium is the primary contaminant of concern affecting
the ground water, other inorganics have been found in the soil.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: demolition and
disposal of a building at 4318 Brazos; ground water pump and treatment using
electrochemical techniques with reinjection into the Trinity Aquifer; and
ground water monitoring. The estimated present worth cost for this remedial
action is $2,836,000.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; The EPA Primary Drinking Water Standard for
chromium 0.05 mg/1 was used as the basis for the target concentration. This
MCL standard is currently under review by EPA. Should the standard be
revised prior to implementing the design phase of the project, the revised
standard will become the target concentration. The risk associated with the
ingestion of chromium in the soil approaches the 10~6 risk level
therefore, soil remediation is not considered necessary.

ODESSA CHROMIUM II, TX
Second Remedial Action - Final
March 18, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Odessa Chromium II site consists of a series of chromium-contaminated
wells within 200 acres of residential, commercial, and industrial properties
and facilities just outside the northwestern city limits of Odessa, Ector
County, Texas. Nearly every residence or commercial facility is served by
one or more water wells completed in the underlying Trinity Aquifer, which
offers the only source of potable ground water. Two separate contaminant
plumes are bounded by the site: 5329 Andrews Highway, and 57th Street and
Andrews Highway. In 1970, local health department authorities investigated
a complaint of contaminated (5.5 mg/1 chromium) well water on the property
to the south of 5329 Andrews Highway. At that time, wastewater analysis did
not indicate the presence of chromium, but in 1978, a cleaning vat solution,
which was eventually stored in partially buried steel tanks, contained
2.8 mg/1 of chromium. One of the storage tanks was discovered leaking and
the tanks were subsequently removed. The facility at 57th Street and
Andrews Highway has been in operation since about 1950. Chromates were
utilized in the cooling system until about 1976. This system was apparently
tied into one of the plant's water wells and during occasional slow downs,
cooling water could have been inadvertently back flushed into the well since
there was no check valve. The plant also utilized an unlined pit for the
disposal of contaminated wastewater, including chromate wastes from the
cooling water system, until about 1977. The first operable unit, signed in
September 1986, provided for the extension of the city's water supply until
final ground water remediation is complete. Although chromium is the
primary contaminant of concern to the ground water, other inorganics have
been found in the soil.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: ground water pump
and treatment using electrochemical techniques with reinjection into the
Trinity Aquifer; and ground water monitoring. A treatability study will be
conducted during the system design phase of the project to aid in designing
an appropriate treatment system. The estimated present worth cost for this
remedial action is $3,618,000.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; The EPA Primary Drinking Water Standard for
chromium 0.05 mg/1 was used as the basis for the target concentration. This
MCL standard is currently under review by EPA. Should the standard be
revised prior to implementing the design phase of the project, the revised
standard will become the target concentration. The risk associated with the

OLD MIDLAND PRODUCTS, AR
First Remedial Action - Final
March 24, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Old Midland Products site is an abandoned creosote and
pentachlorophenol wood preserving plant and sawmill, located in Ola, Yell
County, Arkansas. The site is flat with a total area of approximately
37 acres. Between 1969 and 1970, Old Midland Products was in operation
treating wood with creosote. Effluents from the treatment process
containing PCP and polynuclear aromatic compounds were discharged into
lagoons via a moveable discharge pipe. Pond overflows of minor consequence
have occurred with drainage to the intermittent stream west of the lagoons.
The land, originally owned by the Old Midland Products Company, was sold in
1979 to the Plainview - Ola Economic Trust Inc. Approximately
9,000 to 21,000 yd3 of soil, 850 yd3 of drainage sediments, 450,000
gallons of ground water, 620,000 gallons of lagoon fluids, and 2,770 yd3
of lagoon sludges are contaminated with PCP and polynuclear aromatic
hydrocarbons.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: onsite thermal
destruction of the contaminated surface soils, lagoon sludges, and
drainageway sediments with onsite disposal of waste residuals and a
vegetated cover; and ground water pump and treatment using carbon
adsorption, possibly with biodegradation pretreatment. The estimated cost
for this remedial action is $12,000,000.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; The cleanup level for total
pentachlorophenol (PCP) contained in soil, sludges, and sediments is 1
mg/kg. Ground water cleanup will attain a 10~5 cancer risk level.

SAND SPRINGS, OK
Second Remedial Action
June 28, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The 235-acre Sand Springs Petrochemical site, located in Sand Springs,
Oklahoma, is a former refinery and solvent recycling facility that operated
between 1900 and the early 1970s. The site is located immediately west of
Tulsa along the northern bank of the Arkansas River and consists of unlined
acid sludge pits, a surface impoundment, solvent and waste oil lagoons and
several subsurface sludge pits and spray ponds. During plant operations,
waste products were disposed of in the unlined pits, surface impoundments
and spray ponds. Primary contaminants of concern affecting the soils,
shallow ground water, and sediments were organic solvents and heavy metals.
In September, 1987, a source control Record of Decision was signed to
control and destroy the major sources of contamination. This second Record
of Decision deals with the remainder of the site, primarily shallow ground
water and minimally contaminated soil.
The selected remedial action for the remainder of the Sand Springs site
is no further action. Based upon the findings of the RI/FS, the
Endangerment Assessment for the operable unit concluded that no significant
risk to public health or the environment exists. Ground water and the
Arkansas River water will be monitored for 30 years after completion,of the
source control remedial action, and warning signs and fences will be erected
as part of this no action alternative. Estimated capital cost of the remedy
is $9,300 with annual O&M costs of $45,600.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; The ROD did not specify individual goals;
however, nearby residential wells have not been affected and should not
become affected based on the direction of ground water flow, which is
towards the river. In a worst case scenario, discharge from the site to the
river would be 4.6 times less than NPDES regulatory standards.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS; Site access restrictions will be implemented.

SOL LYNN, TX
First Remedial Action
March 25, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The 0.75 acre Sol Lynn site, also known as the Industrial Transformers
site, is located in Houston, Texas. The area around the site is a mix of
residential, commercial, and light industrial facilities. Approximately
2,000 residents and 100,000 other people move within a one-mile radius of
the site on a daily basis due to recreational activities associated with the
area. The site operated as an electrical transformer salvage and recycling
company between 1971 and 1978, and as a chemical recycling and supply
company from 1979 through 1980. The first documented investigation of this
site took place during the fall of 1971 when the City of Houston Water
Pollution Control Division noted that workers at Industrial Transformers
poured oil out of electrical transformers onto the ground during transformer
dismantling. In 1981, strong odors originating from the site were brought
to the attention of the Texas Department of Water Resources, the predecessor
agency of the Texas Water Commission (TWC). Upon inspection, approximately
75 drums were found scattered about the property. Most of the drums,
labeled "trichloroethylene", were empty and had puncture holes. A technical
assessment of the site, commencing in January 1986, indicated the presence
of PCB contamination. PCB contamination has been confined to the top two
feet of soil. The highest concentrations of PCBs were found in the middle
of the site. TCE has migrated deeper than the PCBs and away from the site.
Residual TCE remaining in the surface soil will be remediated along with the
PCB contaminated soils. Any TCE that has migrated into the deeper ground
water will be addressed in the subsequent remedial action. The primary
contaminants of concern affecting the soil are PCBs.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: excavation of
approximately 2,400 yd^ of PCB-contaminated soil and treatment using
alkali metal polyethylene glycolate (APEG) complex dechlorination with
onsite disposal of treatment residuals; effectiveness verification of the
dechlorination process through treatability studies; and pretreatment of
liquid by-products, if necessary, with discharge into a publicly owned
treatment works facility. The estimated present worth cost for this
remedial action is $2,200,000.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; Soil will be treated at or below the
health-based criterion for PCB-contaminated soils of 25 mg/kg based on the
Toxic Substances Control Act Spill Cleanup Policy.

Second Remedial Action - Final
September 23, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The 0.75 acre Sol Lynn site, also known as the Industrial Transformers
site is located in Houston, Texas. The area around the site is a mix of
residential, commercial, and light industrial development. The residential
population in the area is approximately 2,000, and a maximum daily traffic
of 100,000 persons may move within a one-mile radius due to recreational
activities. The site was used for electrical transformer salvage and
recycling between 1971 and 1978, and for chemical recycling and supply from
1979 through 1980. An investigation during late 1971 by the Houston Water
Pollution Control Division revealed that workers at the site poured oil out
of electrical transformers onto the ground during transformer dismantling.
In 1981, strong odors originating from the site prompted further
investigation, which found approximately 75 drums scattered about the
property. Most of the drums, labeled "trichloroethylene," were empty and
had puncture holes. In 1986, the site was divided into operable units to
address soil and ground water contamination. A previous ROD addressed
onsite contaminated soil. This ROD addresses contaminated ground water in
the class IIB aquifer directly below the site. The primary contaminant of
concern affecting the ground water is TCE.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: ground water pump
and treatment of approximately 12 million gallons using air stripping, with
discharge to a POTW or reinjection into the water-bearing zone. The
estimated present worth cost for the remedial action is $2,204,890. O&M

SOUTH CAVALCADE, TX
First Remedial Action - Final
September 26, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The 66-acre South Calvacade site is located in northeast Houston,
Texas. The surrounding areas are a mixture of residential, commercial, and
industrial properties. Stormwater runoff flows to two stormwater drainage
ditches, which flow into Hunting Bayou, a limited aquatic habitat as
classified by Texas Water Quality Standards. The site was used as a wood
preserving and coal tar distillation facility from 1910 to 1962. The wood
preserving facility consisted of an operations area, a drip track, and
treated and untreated wood storage areas. The operations area included
wood-treating cylinders, chemical storage tanks, and a waste water lagoon.
Creosote and metallic salts were used in the operation. Subsequently, the
site was sold, divided into smaller tracts, and resold to the current
owners. The site is currently used by three commercial trucking companies,
which have erected four buildings on the northern and southern parts of the
site. In 1983, the Houston Metropolitan Transit Authority investigated the
site for potential mass transit use and found evidence of buried creosote.
Beginning in November 1985, EPA sampled all environmental media and found
two discrete areas of contamination at the site corresponding to the former
locations of the wood treating operations and coal tar plant in the southern
portion of the site, and a pond previously existing in the northern portion
of the site. PAHs, VOCs, metals and components of creosote were detected in
the soil, sediments, and ground water. The primary contaminants of concern
affecting the ground water, soils, and sediments are VOCs including benzene,
toluene, and xylenes, other organics including PAHs, and metals including
arsenic, chromium, and lead.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: excavation and
onsite washing of 19,500 yd3 of soil, replacing the soil in the excavated
areas and capping, and treating wash water in the ground water treatment
system; in situ soil flushing of 10,500 yd3 of soil; ground water pump and
treatment of 50,000,000 gallons using physical/chemical separation, pressure
filtration, and carbon adsorption with re-injection into the aquifer or, if
necessary, discharge to the onsite drainage ditch which flows into Hunting
Bayou; offsite incineration or recycling of all non-aqueous phase liquids
separated out from the ground water; and ground water monitoring.
Alternatively, in situ biological treatment of soil and ground water will be
considered if a potentially responsible party can demonstrate its equivalent
or superior performance and implementability costs. The estimated present
worth cost for this remedial action is $13,000,000.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; Soil cleanup will attain a cumulative
10~5 cancer risk level. Individual soil cleanup goals include CPAHs
700 mg/kg and no leaching potential (which may require removal of total PAHs
above 150 mg/kg). Ground water cleanup will attain a cumulative 10~^
cancer risk level. Individual goals for ground water include: CPAHs no
detection, benzene 5 ug/1 (MCL), toluene 28 ug/1 (MCL), xylene 440 ug/1
(MCL), and arsenic, chromium and lead 50 ug/1 (MCLs).

SOUTH VALLEY/EDMUNDS STREET, NM
Second Remedial Action
June 28, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The South Valley/Edmunds Street site is a large area in the southern
part of the City of Albuquerque, New Mexico, surrounding the municipal water
well known as San Jose 6. Within this large area are a number of industrial
properties owned and operated by different groups and individuals. This
remedial action addresses the Edmunds Street Ground Water operable unit of
the South Valley site; the Edmunds Street property is located in the
southeastern corner of the site. The focus of this operable unit is the
area around the monitoring well SV-10, referred to as the drainage pit area,
on the Edmunds Street property. This area is the low spot of the property
and receives much of the property drainage. Analyses of this area have
shown significant levels of industrial solvents in the soil, and a plume of
contaminated ground water starting at the drainage pit area and extending to
the east. The ground water source will be treated as a sole-source aquifer
because there are no alternate sources available to the City of
Albuquerque. The contaminated ground water currently poses a direct threat
to Albuquerque's water supply by moving toward the city's well fields. The
primary contaminants of concern affecting the ground water include VOCs such
as PCE and TCE.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: ground water pump
and treatment using air stripping (packed tower aeration) with reinjection
of the treated water into the aquifer through infiltration galleries; and
ground water and air monitoring. The present worth cost for this remedial
action is $874,000, with present worth O&M costs estimated at $280,200.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; The contaminated ground water will be
treated to a PCE level of 20 ug/1 as required by the New Mexico Water
Quality Control Commission regulations, and to the MCL for TCE of 5 ug/1 as
required by the Safe Drinking Water Act.

SOUTH VALLEY/SJ-6, NM
Third Remedial Action
September 30, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The South Vall'ey/SJ-6 site is located on the southern margin of
Albuquerque, New Mexico, just north of South Valley. The total site
encompasses the SJ-6 municipal well, and six industrial facilities and their
surrounding properties within an approximately one square mile radius.
Land use is primarily industrial and agricultural with residential areas
located immediately north of the site. Industrial development began in the
South Valley area just prior to the 1940s. Metal parts were manufactured in
the area starting around 1948. By the 1960s, organic chemicals were being
handled and packaged on the site. Currently, petroleum fuels and various
chlorinated organics are stored, handled and used within the South Valley
areas. Ground water contamination was first suspected in 1978 when foul
tastes and odors were noted in ground water from a private well on the
Edmunds property in South Valley. Subsequent sampling revealed the presence
of several VOCs in three municipal wells including SJ-6. One of the wells
was resampled in 1988 and found to be free of contaminants, another well was
taken out of service because of mechanical problems, and SJ-6 was shut down
in 1980 due to the continual detection of low levels of solvents. This ROD
addresses only the source and extent of ground water contamination in the
vicinity of SJ-6. Principle threats at the site (i.e., the source and
emanating plumes of contamination from surrounding areas) are being
addressed through remedial actions initiated by EPA in separate RODs. The
primary contaminants of concern affecting the ground water are VOCS
including 1,1-DCE, PCE and TCE.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: removal and
disposal of 100 yd3 of contaminated sediments at the base of the SJ-6
borehole; sealing abandoned wells; ground water monitoring; and access
restrictions. The estimated present worth cost for this remedial action is
$4,000,000 with estimated annual O&M of $300,000.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; All risks to human health will be
eliminated by the removal and disposal of sediments at the base of the SJ-6
borehole which appear to be the source of contamination. Remediation on
adjacent sites as well as source control at this site will reduce plume
concentrations to below state health criteria within five years. Federal
health criteria are already being attained.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS; Restrictions will be implemented to ensure that
wells are constructed using techniques that prevent cross-contamination of
zones and are deep enough to prevent exposure to contaminants.

SOUTH VALLEY/PL-83, NM
Fourth Remedial Action
September 30, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Former Air Force Plant 83/General Electric Operable Unit (PL-83) is
a portion of the South Valley Superfund site in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
The South Valley Superfund site is an area surrounding the City of
Albuquerque Municipal Water Well known as San Jose No. 6. The General
Electric (GE) property is located in the western portion of the site. The
South Valley site is situated in an industrial area, but there are
residences immediately north of the GE property. The GE property has been
the site of manufacturing operations since 1948 when the Eidal Manufacturing
Company had a welding operation onsite. In 1951 the Atomic Energy
Commission, through American Car Foundry, took over the property and
conducted machining of metal parts, plating, welding, and other activities.
This continued until 1967 when the Air Force took over the property and
converted the plant into an aircraft engine manufacturing plant operated by
General Electric. The plant was sold to General Electric in 1983, and
currently produces aircraft engine parts. The contaminants which caused the
listing of the South Valley site on the NPL consisted mainly of industrial
solvents. Investigations into the GE property were conducted in 1984, 1985,
1987/ and 1988 by the Air Force under a Memorandum of Understanding with
EPA. The GE property is heavily built up, with the majority of the site
paved or covered with buildings. As a military contracting facility, access
to the plant is tightly controlled and there is no regular access other than
by employees. Three areas of contamination have been identified at the
site: four hazardous waste storage areas which were used for chemical
storage, the north parking lot (a former dirt parking lot which was sprayed
with oil as a dust control measure), and the DWB-2 area which contains
methylene chloride and freon contamination. The volume of contaminated
soils is estimated to be 36,000 yd3. In addition to soil contamination,
ground water contamination occurs at depths of up to 160 feet. The primary
contaminants of concern affecting the ground water and soil are VOCs
including PCE, and metals.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: installation of
soil vapor extraction wells; extraction of soil vapor under vacuum;
decontamination of effluent air through a carbon adsorption system; further
sampling and definition of soil contamination; installation of ground water
extraction wells in both the shallow aquifer and the deeper zone; treatment
of extracted ground water with air stripping followed by carbon adsorption
and reinjection of treated water into the aquifers (chemical or physical
treatment of ground water will occur where metal concentrations exceed
background or ARARs); and further definition of ground water contamination
through installation and sampling of additional monitoring wells. The
estimated present worth cost for soil remediation is $1,820,000. No figures
are given in the ROD for the ground water remedial action.

STEWCO, TX
First Remedial Action - Final
September 16, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Stewco site, previously a tanker truck terminal and truck washing
facility, is located in northeastern Texas, in Eastern Harrison County,
south of the city limits of Waskom. The site consists of two nonadjacent
locations approximately one mile apart, referred to as Location 1 and
Location 2. Location 1 is a one-half acre plot that includes a maintenance
shop with fueling facilities, a truck-tank washing facility, and two
backfilled and capped evaporation ponds (ponds 1 and 2) that received
wastewater from the tank washing operation. Approximately 50 homes are
located within one-half mile of Location 1, four of these are within
500 feet of the north, west and south site boundaries. In addition, shallow
wells are located approximately one mile to the north. Location 2 consists
of a third pond which received excess wastewater conveyed by truck from the
evaporation ponds at Location 1. Approximately 30 homes are within a
one-half mile radius of Location 2. Land use within a one mile radius of
the two locations includes residential, recreation, industrial, and
commercial. The underlying Wilcox aquifer serves the city of Waskom as well
as numerous domestic users within a three mile radius of the site. From
1972 - 1979, R.A. Corbett Transport, Inc. owned, operated and maintained a
fleet of transport trucks engaged in contract hauling for the oil and gas
industry and various businesses. Stewco purchased the site in 1979 and
continued operations until declaring bankruptcy in 1983. Materials hauled
included glue, resin, gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, and creosote. The
wastewater generated from washing the outside of trucks, and the tank
residue resulting from steam cleaning the inside of the tankers were
directed to pond 1 with overflow entering pond 2, and the surplus
transported to the third pond at Location 2. All ponds were unlined.
Reports from the Texas Water Commission files indicate numerous instances of
noncompliance with permit requirements. After abandonment in 1983, ponds
1 and 2 began to overflow their dikes creating a serious threat of dike
collapse and significant hazardous substances release. Consequently, EPA
conducted a removal action at Location 1 from March 31 to
April 14, 1984. The action consisted of removing the source of
contamination: 400,000 gallons of liquid wastes were pumped, treated, and
discharged; and 5,500 yd3 of sludges from the bottom and sides of the
disposal ponds were stabilized and disposed of offsite. The pond disposal
area was then backfilled and capped. No removal or remedial actions were
taken at Location 2 since the level of contamination was much less than that
of Location 1 and the pond was not filled near capacity. The contaminants
of concern prior to the removal action were VOCs, PAHs, and phthalates.
EPA determined that, based on the effectiveness of the previous removal
action, the residual contamination remaining in the soil, pond sediments,
and ground water poses no threat to public health, and that no long-term

monitoring is necessary. Therefore, no further action will be taken at this
site. However, ground water contamination has been identified that is not
attributed to the site. Follow-up actions by the State and EPA will attempt
to determine the source of this contamination. If within 2 years of the
signing of this ROD, wells onsite at Stewco are determined to be of no use
to the offsite source investigation, closure will be initiated. The cost of
plugging the 16 wells is estimated not to exceed $5,000.

UNITED NUCLEAR CORPORATION, NM
First Remedial Action
September 30, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The United Nuclear Corporation (UNC) site is located approximately
17 miles northeast of Gallup, New Mexico, in McKinley County. The site
operated as a State-licensed uranium mill facility from June 1977 to May
1982. It includes an ore processing mill (about 25 acres) and an unlined
tailings pond area (about 100 acres). The surrounding area is sparsely
populated, with the nearest residence located 1.5 miles from the site. In
July 1979, approximately 23 million gallons of tailings and pond water were
released to a nearby river as a result of a dam breach in the tailings pond
area. The site damage was repaired; however, attention was focused on
ground water contamination resulting from tailings seepage. Consequently,
UNC implemented a ground water pumping system that withdrew ground water
from the aquifers underlying the site and sent it to an onsite borrow pit
for evaporation. UNC also conducted tailings neutralization from late 1979
to early 1982. Nevertheless, the offsite migration of radionuclides and
chemical constituents from uranium milling byproduct materials into the
ground water, as well as to surface water and air, are still principal
threats at the site. This remedial action will address onsite ground water
contamination. Source control and onsite surface reclamation will be
implemented under the direction of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and
integrated with this ground water operable unit. The primary contaminants
of concern affecting the ground water are metals including arsenic, and
radioactive substances including radium-226/228 and gross alpha.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: implementation of
a ground water monitoring program to detect any increases in the areal,
extent or concentration of ground water contamination outside the tailings
disposal area; ground water pump and treatment using existing and/or new
extraction wells to control and remove tailings seepage and remediate
contaminated ground water, with discharge to an enhanced mister/pond
evaporation system; and implementation of a performance monitoring and
evaluation program. The estimated present worth cost for this remedial
action is $17,000,000 over a 10-year period, with estimated annual O&M of
$1,000,000.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; Contaminant concentrations in ground water
will attain MCLs or New Mexico Water Quality Act standards (or background
levels where these are higher). Individual cleanup goals include arsenic
50 ug/1 (MCL), cadmium 10 ug/1 (MCL), cobalt 50 ug/1 (NMWQA), radium-226/228
5 pCi/L (MCL), selenium 10 ug/1 (MCL), and gross alpha 15 pCi/L (MCL).

ARKANSAS CITY DUMP, KS
First Remedial Action
September 29, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The 200-acre Arkansas City Dump site is located in the southwest section
of Arkansas City, Cpwley County, Kansas, and is bounded on the west and
south by a levee that separates it from the Arkansas River. The site falls
within the 100-year floodplain and includes a north waste area and a south
waste area, both located in the central portion. Land use adjacent to the
site is a mixture of crop and rangeland, and commercial and residential.
Urban areas exist to the north and east of the site with residential areas
bordering on the north and mixed residential and commercial areas on the
east. Approximately 60 residences are adjacent to the eastern boundary, and
several businesses that employ about 100 to 150 people are located onsite.
Ground water flows predominantly to either the southwest or southeast toward
the Arkansas River due to a ground water divide that exists near the center
of the site. Upgradient ground water is used for drinking purposes by
Arkansas City as well as private residences. Downgradient, east and
southeast of the site, private wells are used to provide water primarily for
lawn and garden watering. The site was used as an oil refinery between
1916 and the mid-1920s. Residual acid sludge from the distillation process
was disposed of in pits or on the ground predominantly in the north waste
area. Subsequently, 160 acres were used as a municipal landfill, referred
to as the Arkansas City Landfill. For over 50 years, alkaline sludge from
Arkansas City's water treatment plant as well as municipal refuse and solid
wastes were disposed into lime-sludge ponds located in the south waste
area. Investigations conducted since 1980 by the Kansas Department of
Health and Environment have determined that all media are contaminated with
various organics and inorganics primarily from refining wastes. This
contamination is a result of 1,300,000 ft3 of acid sludge and between
500,000 to 1,000,000 gallons of residual oil product which has mixed with
the subsurface soil predominantly between the north and south waste areas.
The principal contributor of organic contaminants to the ground water,
particularly polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), appears to be the
soil contaminated sediments in the subsurface. However, contaminants are
not migrating offsite. This Record of Decision (ROD) addresses remediation
of acid sludge in the north waste area; a subsequent ROD will address the
oil-contaminated sediments and ground water contamination. The primary
contaminants of concern in the acid sludge are organics including PAHs, and
sulfuric acid.
The selected remedial action for the north waste area operable unit
includes: in situ neutralization of the acid sludge followed by the
installation of a soil cover; completion of a supplemental feasibility study
addressing remedial alternatives for the subsequent operable unit;
institutional controls including deed restrictions; and ground water
monitoring.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; Neutralization of acid sludge will attain a
pH less than 2.0 and eliminate .the potential for sulfur dioxide emissions.

BIG RIVER SAND, KS
First Remedial Action - Final
June 28, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Big River Sand (BRS) site is located one-half mile west of the
Arkansas River and adjacent to the Wichita Valley Center Floodway, in
Sedwick County, Kansas. The site consists of approximately 123 acres, half
of which has been extensively mined for sand and gravel. Sand and gravel
mining is still active on the property. During the early 1970s,
approximately 2,000 drums of paint-related waste were disposed of on the
eastern portion of the site, adjacent to a five-acre sand quarry lake. In
1978, 80 acres of the site containing the drum storage area and quarry lake
were sold to BRS. In 1982, as a condition of the sales agreement, the drums
were moved to an unsold portion of the site. Nearly 200 drums were
transferred before the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE)
halted the action because the area was not permitted to store or dispose of
the waste. KDHE conducted the initial site inspection in August 1982 and
identified damaged, corroded, and leaking drums. Paint sludges were
determined to be EP-toxic for chromium, and waste solvents and paint sludges
from several drums contained metals and VOCs. Waste solvents from the
barrels were determined to be hazardous due to their ignitability. A PRP
was ordered by KDHE in September 1982 to conduct a removal and site
cleanup. These occurred between 1982 and 1984. Sampling by KDHE between
1982 and 1985 detected arsenic, lead, and selenium in drinking water wells,
and VOCs, including toluene, in onsite soils and in monitoring wells.
It has been determined that the site does not pose a significant threat
to public health, welfare, and the environment. Therefore, no further
action has been selected as the preferred alternative. The estimated future
cost, if sampling is conducted in year five, is $5,800.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; Metals and VOCs in the soil and ground
water are not outside the range of metals and VOCs found naturally occurring
in soil and ground water. Additionally, no MCLs are being exceeded in
onsite or offsite drinking water wells.

CHEROKEE COUNTY/GALENA, KS
First Remedial Action
December 21, 1987
ROD ABSTRACT
The Cherokee County site, the Kansas portion of the Tri-State Mining
District, is located in the extreme southeastern corner of Kansas. The
Galena subsite, one of six subsites identified within the Cherokee County
site/ encompasses 18 square miles. The Galena subsite is characterized by
surface mining waste features that impact the quality of the shallow ground
water aquifer. This aquifer is a primary source of drinking water for
approximately 1,050 people. Remains from past mining activity at the
subsite include: large areas covered by mine and mill wastes, water-filled
subsidence craters, and open mine shafts. EPA investigations of the Galena
subsite conducted in 1986 and 1987 demonstrated that the shallow ground
water aquifer and surface water are contaminated with elevated
concentrations of metals. Due to the concern for the health of persons
drinking this water, EPA Region VII conducted a removal action and installed
water treatment units on these wells. This removal action was considered a
temporary protective measure. The primary contaminants of concern observed
in the private wells include: cadmium, lead, selenium, and zinc.
The selected remedial action for this site provides for collection of
water from the aquifer through existing wells owned by the City of Galena
with subsequent distribution of that water through a pipeline network to 418
houses, businesses, and farms outside of the Galena municipal water system
but within the subsite. Additional capacity for the expanded system will be
rehabilitated. If, rehabilition becomes infeasible due to unforeseen onsite
technicalities, a new deep aquifer well may be drilled to provide additional
water. The remedy includes acquiring the construction and equipment
necessary to setup a water supply to this area. The estimated present worth
cost for this remedy is $5,300,000 with annual O&M of $100,000.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; Extracted ground water will be chlorinated
prior to discharge and will meet the MCLs for cadmium
10 ug/1, lead 50 ug/1, selenium 10 ug/1, and zinc 5,000 ug/1.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS; Existing institutional controls on municipal water
supply systems are considered adequate.

JOHN DEERE DUBUQUE WORKS, IA
First Remedial Action - Final
September 29, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The John Deere Dubuque Works site is located approximately 2.5 miles
north of the City of Dubuque, Iowa. The site is owned by Deere and Company,
which has operated a manufacturing plant at the site since 1946. The plant
property includes an area of 1,447 acres located in the flood plain at the
confluence of the Little Maquoketa River and the Mississippi River. The
waste management history of the plant is complex, but the primary area of
concern is an unlined landfill originally placed in a natural depression
caused by the Little Maquoketa River. Prior to 1968, wastes were placed in
the low areas of the landfill and combustible materials were burned. Wastes
included caustics (sodium or potassium hydroxide), acids (hydrochloric or
sulfuric), petroleum distillates (solvents, grinding oils, and so forth),
heavy metals (chromium, lead, zinc), cyanide, and paint sludges. Another
area of concern at the facility is the site of a 1980, 200,000-gallon diesel
fuel spill. A diesel fuel recovery system involving an oil/water separator
for non-aqueous phase liquids (NAPLs) was implemented that same year.
Investigations conducted by John Deere indicated that human health hazards
at the landfill could be considered minimal with the primary hazard being
the possibility of dissolved organic chemicals impacting offsite domestic
wells located east of the plant along the Mississippi River. Maintaining a
minimum pumping rate of 1.2 mgd in the plant production wells will create
sufficient drawdown to prevent migration of contaminated ground water to the
offsite wells. The primary contaminants of concern affecting the ground
water are VOCs including benzene, PCE, TCE, and toluene.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: development of an
alternate potable water supply for the plant; extraction and offsite
discharge of water from the contaminated alluvial aquifer using the existing
production wells to maintain drawdown around the plant and landfill areas;
continuation of extraction and treatment of NAPLs from production well No. 3
with offsite discharge of treated ground water and offsite disposal of
collected NAPLs; imposition of deed restrictions to prevent inappropriate
use of the plant property in the future; and development of a contingency
plan to ensure that contaminants do not migrate offsite in the event of a
plant shutdown (which would result in the loss of drawdown from production
wells). The estimated present worth cost for this remedial action is
$5,151,800 with annual O&M costs of $276,600.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; Recovery operations will continue'until
ground water quality meets Federal primary drinking water standards (MCLs)
and EPA Health Advisories, and until the maximum recoverable amount of NAPL
is withdrawn. Individual contaminant goals were not specified.

FULBRIGHT/SAC RIVER LANDFILLS, MO
First Remedial Action - Final
September 30, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Fulbright and Sac River Landfills are located just north of the City
of Springfield, Missouri, in a semirural area. The site is in the flood
plain of the Little Sac River, and is owned by the City of Springfield,
along with much of the surrounding land. Adjacent land use includes a
police shooting range, an animal shelter (dog pound), and an inactive
wastewater treatment plant. The landfills were operated by the city for the
disposal of municipal and industrial solid wastes. The Fulbright Landfill
covered 98 acres and operated from 1962 through 1968. The Sac River
Landfill, formerly known as the Murray Landfill, covered 114 acres and was
in operation from 1968 through 1974. Generally, wastes (drummed or bulk)
were disposed of in trenches and covered with soil. The City of Springfield
and Litton Industries Inc. agreed to conduct the RI and the FS under the
oversight of EPA. Several leachate seeps have been noted, especially during
wet weather. In addition to the landfill areas, another source of
contamination was identified where a few dozen drums and waste residues were
disposed of in a sinkhole on the bluff above the Fulbright Landfill. Based
on data from the RI, environmental contaminant concentrations in soil,
ground water, leachate, surface water, and sediments do not exceed
applicable or relevant and appropriate requirement standards. The site,
however, could endanger human health or the environment in the future
through exposure of the industrial wastes through erosion of the landfill
cover, installation of drinking water wells at or near the landfills, or
from direct contact with leachate at the seeps. While a reference is made
to disposal of cyanide and acid wastes, the primary contaminants of concern
affecting the media investigated are not listed in the ROD.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: removal of the
drum and drum remnants found in the sinkhole and associated trench east of
the Fulbright Landfill; sampling the removed contents to determine hazardous
characteristics; proper offsite treatment or disposal of removed contents;
observation of the leachate seeps during maintenance (no action), ground and
surface water monitoring for a 30-year maintenance period; and imposition of
deed restrictions and ground water use prohibitions. The estimated present
worth cost for this remedial action is $270,400 if wastes are disposed of as
hazardous waste or $246,600 if disposed of as solid waste.

HASTINGS GROUND WATER/COLORADO AVENUE,
First Remedial Action
September 28, 1988
NE
ROD ABSTRACT
The Colorado Avenue subsite of the Hastings Ground Water Contamination
site is located in the City of Hastings, Adams County, Nebraska. The
Colorado Avenue subsite is a part of the Central Industrial Area which
contains commercial and industrial properties situated along the
Burlington-Northern railroad right-of-way. Residential properties are
located immediately south and east of the site. Hastings industries used
TCE at the site during the early to mid-1960s. From 1967 to May 1982 the
site was used by Dravo Corporation for manufacturing of heating and air
conditioning equipment. Metals were cleaned prior to finishing with a
vapor-degreasing process, and waste solvents were discharged directly into
the sanitary sewer and the storm sewer. The site has since been acquired by
Marshalltown Instruments Company, who claims to have no involvement with
disposal of the chemical contaminants. Ground water contamination was
discovered when an out-of-service drinking water well was put back in
service in 1983, resulting in complaints about the water quality.
Subsequently, the Nebraska Department of Health and the Nebraska Department
of Environmental Control began investigating widespread ground water
contamination in the Hastings area. Active Hastings municipal water wells
are located within one block, 3,000 feet, and 4,500 feet of the site, all
three accessing a sole source aquifer. The highest levels of contamination
of soil and soil-gas occur along the sanitary and storm sewers at the site,
with localized areas which correspond to joints in the sewers. The volume
of contaminated soil is estimated to be 42,700 yd3 yards and is the focus
of this ROD. High levels of the contaminants are also found in the ground
water beneath the site. The primary contaminants of concern affecting soil
and ground water are VOCs including TCE and PCE.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: in situ soil vapor
extraction, utilizing vacuum extraction technologies; treatment of extracted
vapor with an activated carbon system, if necessary; and implementation of
an O&M program which includes soil, air and ground water monitoring.
Results of the ground water monitoring will be used to develop a technical
approach for plume management and evaluate the need for ground water
treatment in a subsequent ROD. The estimated present worth cost for this
remedial action is $3,603,000, which includes a projection of annual O&M
costs for the five year operating period. Long term O&M costs will depend
on the success of the vapor extraction during the operating period.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; The initial source control effort is
designed to control contaminant migration to the aquifer, therefore, no
cleanup levels are established. Cleanup effectiveness will be evaluated
based on volumes of contaminants recovered from the soil.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS; Not applicable.

The FAR-MAR-CO subsite of the Hastings Ground Water site is located east
of the City of Hastings, Adams County, Nebraska. The subsite is a part of
an industrial enterprise zone which contains industrial properties situated
along the Burlington-Northern railroad right-of-way. Residential properties
are located immediately northwest of the site and agricultural lands are
located east of the site. Historical and current use of the area has been
for grain storage and railcar loading. The site is currently owned by
Farmland Industries, Inc., who acquired the property through a merger with
FAR-MAR-CO, Inc. in 1967. The current and previous owners used various
chemicals onsite for fumigation of stored grain. Contamination was
discovered when complaints about water quality were received by the Nebraska
Department of Health (NDOH). Subsequently, the NDOH and the Nebraska
Department of Environmental Control began investigating widespread ground
water contamination in the Hastings area. Wells that are part of CMS, Inc.
public supply system are located east and downgradient of the subsite.
Contaminated soil at the subsite are believed to be the result of accidental
spills and may be the direct result of a 1959 grain dust explosion which
damaged a fumigation tank system, releasing 997 gallons of fumigant. The
highest levels of contamination of soil and soil-gas occur in relatively
small zones near the original grain elevator and adjacent to a large liquid
fumigant bulk storage tank. The volume of contaminated soil is estimated to
be 33,800 yd3 yards and is the focus of this ROD. High levels of the
contaminants are also found in the ground water beneath the site. The
primary contaminants of concern affecting soil and ground water are carbon
tetrachloride and ethylene dibromide (EDB).
The selected remedial action for this site includes: in situ soil vapor
extraction, utilizing vacuum extraction technologies; treatment of extracted
vapor with an activated carbon system, if necessary; access restrictions;
and implementation of an O&M program which includes soil, air and ground
water monitoring. Results of the ground water monitoring will be used to
develop a technical approach for plume management and evaluate the need for
ground water treatment in a subsequent ROD. The estimated present worth
cost for this remedial action is $2,526,000, which includes a projection of
annual O&M costs for the five year operating period. Long-term O&M costs
will depend on the success of the vapor extraction during the operating
period.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; This initial source control effort is
designed to control contaminant migration to the aquifer, therefore no
cleanup levels are established. Cleanup effectiveness will be evaluated
based on volumes of contaminants recovered from the soil.

MIDWEST MANUFACTURING/NORTH FARM, IA
First Remedial Action
September 30, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
This Record of Decision addresses the North Farm operable unit, which is
one of two subsites of the Midwest Manufacturing site and is located in a
rural area approximately two miles north and one-half mile east of Kellogg,
Jasper County, Iowa. Approximately 600 people live in Kellogg. Land use
near the site is mainly agricultural, with pasture land on and around the
site. The closest residence to the North Farm subsite is approximately one
mile from the site. The subsite consists of an unlined disposal cell
containing approximately 200 yd3 of soil contaminated with electroplating
wastes. The disposal cell is located on the lower slope of a rolling hill
adjacent to the valley of Bear Creek, which is an intermittent stream
located 500 feet east of the site. Bear Creek lies 50 feet lower than the
site. Records indicate that electroplating activities took place at this
site prior to 1979 and ceased operations in June 1981. Activities involved
the use of various heavy metals, including cadmium, nickel, and zinc, as
well as cyanide. In 1977, a wastewater treatment plant was installed at the
facility to treat the plant effluent before it was discharged into the North
Skunk River. Solids generated at the treatment plant were temporarily
stored in a tank onsite and periodically transferred to the disposal cell.
The disposal cell was unlined and had no soil cap, leachate collection
system or run-on and run-off controls. Soil sampling was conducted onsite
and downslope of the site in 1982 and 1983 to evaluate the potential for
offsite contaminant migration due to previous waste disposal practices.
Analysis of the samples revealed that soil contamination had occurred via
surface run-off. The primary contaminants of concern affecting the soil are
cadmium and cyanide.
The selected remedial action for this operable unit includes:
excavation of cadmium-contaminated soil within and around the disposal cell
with either onsite or offsite soil treatment including stabilization, and
offsite disposal of the treated soil at a permitted RCRA Subtitle C disposal
facility; and backfilling and grading of the excavated area with clean soil
to support a vegetative cover. The estimated total present worth cost for
this remediation is $140,000 - $170,000. The remedial action for the
Midwest Manufacturing operable unit of this site will be addressed in a
subsequent ROD.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; Contaminated soil will be excavated to less
than the health-based action level of 13 mg/kg for cadmium. Treated soil
will meet the treatment standards specified in the Land Disposal
Restrictions for F006 nonwastewaters and will be measured as a leachate
contaminant concentration using the TCLP. The treatment standards are
cadmium 0.066 mg/L, total chromium 5.2-mg/L, lead 0.51 mg/L, nickel 0.32
mg/L, and silver 0.072 mg/L.

MINKER/STOUT/ROMAINE CREEK, MO
Second Remedial Action
September 29, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Minker/Stout/Romaine Creek (M/S/RC) site is located in the city of
Imperial, Jefferson County, Missouri, 25 miles southwest of St. Louis. The
site is an unincorporated, wooded residential area and is comprised of four
noncontiguous areas: Minker, Stout, Cashel, and Sullins. It is within a
distance of approximately 0.8 miles and includes the upper 6000 feet of
Romaine Creek. Contamination at the site resulted from the use of
dioxin-contaminated soil as fill material, and has spread as a result of
erosion from these areas. Contaminated soil in all areas except the Stout
area and Romaine Creek has been excavated and currently is stored in interim
onsite storage. The total volume of contaminated soil at this site
including the amount in temporary storage is estimated to be 12,000 cubic
yards. The primary contaminant of concern affecting the soil at this site
is 2,3,7,8-TCDD (dioxin).
The selected remedial action for this site includes: excavation of soil
exceeding 20 ppb dioxin and offsite thermal treatment and incinerator ash
disposal at the Times Beach site; placing of clean soil cover and
revegetation over all areas with residual dioxin levels between 1 and
20 ppb; and offsite thermal treatment and incinerator ash disposal at the
Times Beach site of contaminated soil held in interim storage. The
estimated total capital cost for this remedial action is $48,800,000, which
includes all costs from the Times Beach site.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; Soil cleanup levels will attain a 1 ppb
dioxin level at the ground surface and a 5 to 10 ppb dioxin level at a depth
of one foot or greater. Thermal treatment will attain six-nines destruction
and removal efficiency of dioxin from soil.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS; Institutional controls will be established to
control future land use and to prevent future residential development.

SHENANDOAH STABLES, MO
First Remedial Action
July 28, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Shenandoah Stables (SS) site is located in a rural area near Moscow
Mills, Lincoln County, Missouri, approximately 35 miles northwest of
St. Louis, Missouri. The property includes an enclosed arena and horse
stables. There are about 8 residences located within a 0.5 mile radius of
the site/ as well as a livestock operation, and other small businesses on
approximately 5- to 10-acre parcels around the facility. The site lies in
the upper flood plain of Crooked Creek. In May 1971, the area inside the
arena was sprayed with dioxin-contaminated waste oil for dust control
purposes. There are reports that 1,500 gallons of waste material were
applied at this time. Following this spraying, a number of adverse effects
were noted; horses and other animals became ill or died, and the
six-year-old daughter of one of the owners was hospitalized for a variety of
symptoms assumed to be related to exposure to contaminated soil. Between
August 1971 and March 1972, approximately 24 to 26 inches of the
contaminated material was removed and disposed of either offsite or onsite
in two removal episodes. Investigations were conducted by EPA in May 1982,
which indicated continued exterior and interior contamination of the
facility by dioxin at levels greater than 1,750 ug/kg. Since the spraying,
the site has been flooded a number of times, with water levels inside the
arena as high as four feet above the arena floor. Investigations have shown
contamination of approximately 8,600 yd2 of interior and exterior site
areas. The primary contaminant of concern affecting the soil and structures
at the site is dioxin.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: excavation of all
dioxin-contaminated surface soil exceeding 1 ug/kg with continued excavation
until a residual concentration of 5 to 10 ug/kg at the 2 to 4-foot depth is
reached in the arena and slough, or excavation until bedrock is encountered,
with backfilling of excavated area, placement of the excavated soil in lined
polypropylene bags, and storage of the bags in RCRA-eguivalent enclosed
steel storage structures onsite; and decontamination of onsite structures.
Approximately 3,300 yd3 of soil are expected to be excavated and stored.
The estimated present worth cost for this remedial action is $3,936,500.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; Excavation of surface soil exceeding 1
ug/kg dioxin, and 5 to 10 ug/kg at a 2-foot depth in the arena or 1-foot
depth in other areas, to a maximum 4-foot depth or to bedrock based on
health-based action levels provided by ATSDR.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS; The arena and stables are to be closed and access
to the property will be restricted.

SYNTEX VERONA, MO
First Remedial Action - Final
May 5, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Syntex Verona (SV) site, formerly operated as Hoffman-Taff, Inc.,
was purchased in 1969 by Syntex Agribusiness. The site is located 30 miles
southwest of Springfield in extreme southwestern Missouri. Approximately
500 people live in Verona, Missouri, which borders on the site. The site
area encompasses approximately 180 acres along the east bank of the Spring
River. The majority of the active portion of the facility is located within
the Spring River 100-year flood plain. SV was used to manufacture
hexachlorophene from 1970 to 1971, which produced the byproduct
2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD), referred to as dioxin. From
1971 to 1988 EPA and Syntex Verona conducted numerous site investigations.
The findings showed contamination both on- and offsite which may be related
to the former activities at the site. The major areas identified as being
contaminated are the Slough Area, Lagoon Area, Spill Area/Irrigation Area,
Burn Area, and Trench Area. Dioxin contamination ranged from 1 ug/kg to
1,380 ug/kg, with the maximum concentrations occurring in the Lagoon Area.
In addition to dioxin contamination, other organics and inorganic compounds
were identified. The concentrations of these compounds were below the level
of concern for human health. The primary contaminant of concern affecting
the soil is dioxin.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: excavation and
offsite thermal treatment of dioxin-contaminated soil exceeding 20 ug/kg and
offsite disposal of the ash residue; dismantling and decontamination of
equipment with a series of solutions and aqueous rinses; installation of a
clay cap with a vegetation cover over the Trench Area; and maintenance of
vegetation cover over surface soil containing levels of dioxin from 1 ug/kg
to 20 ug/kg. The estimated present worth cost for this remedial action is
$5,617,000.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; A site-specific action level of 20 ug/1 has
been established as an appropriate cleanup level for dioxin-contaminated
soil.

TIMES BEACH, MO
Second Remedial Action
September 29, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Times Beach site is a 0.8 square-mile area located in the formerly
incorporated city of Times Beach, St. Louis County, Missouri, approximately
20 miles southwest of the city of St. Louis. The site is bordered on the
north and east by the Meramec River and areas of St. Louis County, on the
south by areas of Jefferson County, and on the west by the City of Eureka.
Land use of the surrounding areas is primarily residental and agricultural.
The majority of the site falls within the five-year flood plain and the
entire site falls within the 25-year flood plain of the Meramec River. The
soil contamination at the site is a result of spraying roads for dust
control in the 1970s with oil that was contaminated with dioxin.
Investigations indicate that the contamination is limited to the roads, road
shoulders, and drainage ditches along the roads and is generally limited to
the top twelve inches of the soil. Approximately 13,600 cubic yards of soil
at concentrations above 20 ppb dioxin as well as 105,000 cubic yards of
structures and debris are estimated to be contaminated. No detectable
levels of dioxin have been found in the ground water or surface water at the
site thus far. Based on the analytical results of soil samples collected in
1982 and on an advisory from the Centers for Disease Control, EPA determined
that all residents and businesses should be relocated. In February 1983,
EPA transferred CERCLA funds to the Federal Emergency Management Agency to
conduct relocation activities. The primary contaminant of concern affecting
the soil at this site is 2,3,7,8-TCDD (dioxin).
The selected remedial action for the site includes: demolition and
onsite disposal of all structures and debris remaining at the site;
excavation of dioxin-contaminated soil exceeding 20 ppb and thermal
treatment in a temporary onsite thermal treatment unit with onsite disposal
of incinerator ash; placing of clean soil cover and revegetation over all
areas with residual dioxin levels between 1 and 20 ppb; construction of a
ring levee surrounding the temporary thermal treatment unit for flood
protection; interim storage of excavated soil onsite pending availability of
the thermal treatment unit; and implementation of erosion controls. The
estimated total capital cost for this remedial action is $48,800,000, which
includes all costs from the Minker/Stout/Romaine Creek site.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; Soil cleanup levels will attain a 1 ppb
dioxin level at the ground surface and a 5 to 10 ppb dioxin level at a depth
of one foot or greater. Thermal treatment will attain six-nines destruction
and removal efficiency of dioxins from soil.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS; Institutional controls will be established to
control future land use and to prevent future residental development.

ANACONDA SMELTER/MILL CREEK, MT
First Remedial Action
October 2, 1987
ROD ABSTRACT
The 160-acre community of Mill Creek is located in Deerlodge County,
Montana, immediately adjacent to the Anaconda Smelter NPL site. The
community of Mill Creek has been contaminated for over 100 years with
smelter emissions, fugitive emissions of flu dust at the smelter, and
continued fugitive emissions emanating from adjacent highly contaminated
soils. Settled flue emissions in the community of Mill Creek, from the now
defunct copper smelting operation, contain arsenic, cadmium, and lead.
Environmental testing of the community and biological testing of pre-school
children, led EPA to conclude that contamination in the Mill Creek area
poses an imminent and substantial endangerment to the health of individuals
residing there. In combination with future operable units for Mill Creek,
the goal of this interim remediation is to provide adequate permanent
protection for the health of current residents and interim protection for
future short-term visitors to the area. The primary contaminant of concern
at this site is arsenic. Cadmium and lead are secondary contaminants of
concern.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: permanent
relocation of all residents (8 homes) with temporary erosional stabilization
of disturbed areas by establishing and maintaining a vegetative cover;
demolition, consolidation, and temporary onsite storage of debris; fencing
and posting of the entire site; and implementation of site access and deed
restrictions. The estimated present worth cost for this remedial action is
$300,000.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; Risk-based performance goals for arsenic
and cadmium were less than background levels and appear technically
unattainable. Therefore, background levels for arsenic 0.01 ug/m3 and
cadmium 0.01 ug/m3 will be met. The NAAQS for lead 1.5 ug/m3 also will
be met.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS; Institutional controls will be implemented to
control site access and future land use.

BRODERICK WOOD PRODUCTS, CO
First Remedial Action
June 30, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Broderick Wood Products Company (BWP) site, is located in Adams
County, Colorado, and encompasses approximately 64 acres. It is situated in
a primarily industrial area and is bounded on the southwest and southeast by
railroad tracks and on the north by Fisher Ditch. The site is one-half mile
south of Clear Creek, a perennial stream. The nearest residences are less
than one-eighth mile north of the property line. Major site features
include two surface impoundments and a total of 19 buildings and
structures. Between 1947 and 1981, BWP operated a wood treatment facility
to treat power poles, fence posts, railroad ties and other wood products.
Process wastes from the plant were conveyed through a clay pipe to the two
onsite, unlined surface impoundments, referred to as the main and secondary
impoundments and located in the northwest corner of the facility. Records
indicate that waste seepage was apparent just north of the site and became
so extensive that the waste was burned off, starting in 1955. Records also
indicate that four additional ponds periodically were utilized. In August
1980, BWP submitted a RCRA permitting application and obtained interim
status to operate its facility but ceased operations in November 1981. Site
investigations conducted by EPA in April 1981 and July 1982 noted several
violations of RCRA requirements. Another site inspection in December 1982
revealed the possibility of serious contamination at a trench in "the
vicinity of the surface impoundments that reportedly had only been used for
the disposal of solid waste. A black stain and oily puddle were noted at
the-bottom of the trench. Wood treating chemicals also were detected in a
ground water monitoring well located immediately downgradient of the surface
impoundments. A source of contamination at the site that will be addressed
in this remedial action is a result of a fire in July 1985 that damaged the
treatment plant building. Water used to fight the fire was contaminated
with asbestos fibers from the building insulation. This contaminated water
was pumped to onsite holding vessels and some still remains in the basement
of the building. The main and secondary impoundments have been identified
as the major sources of site contamination. The main impoundment contains a
surface layer of oil and grease, a water layer, and a sludge layer. The
secondary impoundment contains primarily a sludge layer. The quantity of
sludge from the two impoundments is estimated to be approximately
4000 yd3, and is designated as RCRA K001 hazardous waste. Approximately
31,000 yd3 of contaminated soil is estimated to be below the
impoundments. The primary contaminants of concern from the impoundments
affecting the soil and ground water are VOCs including benzene, organics
including PAHs, PCPs, dioxins, and metals including lead. ,
The selected remedial action for this site includes: installation of
access restrictions; excavation and onsite mobile incineration of the sludge
and oil in the main and the secondary impoundments, with offsite disposal of
the residual ash; treatment of contaminated impoundment wastewater using
carbon adsorption with disposal through onsite evapo-transpiration or use as

incinerator guench water; excavation of the visibly contaminated soil
beneath the impoundments, and onsite incineration if the volume is less than
2,500 yd^, or onsite storage for further studies, if the volume is greater
than 2,500 yd^; filtration of water from the facility area to remove
asbestos fibers, and treatment using carbon adsorption, with disposal
through onsite evapo-transpiration or use as incineration quench water; and
ground water monitoring. The estimated present worth cost for this remedial
action ranges between $2,264,000 and $3,603,200.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; Cleanup goals will meet specified BOAT
levels for RCRA K001 sludge, as determined by testing the incinerator ash to
ensure that concentrations do not exceed the following levels: zinc 0.066
mg/1 (TCLP), lead 0.53 mg/1 (TCLP), copper 0.71 mg/1 (TCLP), xylenes
0.162 mg/kg, toluene 0.143 mg/kg, pyrene 7.28 mg/kg, phenanthrene 7.98
mg/kg, PCP 36.75 mg/kg, and napthalene 7.98 mg/kg. Wastewater contaminants
will be treated to non-detectable levels to comply with State standards. If
these levels cannot be met. State standards will be waived and contaminants
will be treated to MCLs.

CALIFORNIA GULCH, CO
First Remedial Action
March 29, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The California Gulch site is located in Lake County, Colorado,
approximately 100 miles southwest of Denver. The study area for this first
remedial action encompasses an 11.5 m2 watershed, which includes the city
of Leadville, that drains along California Gulch to the Arkansas River.
Between 1859 and 1986, the area was extensively mined for gold, lead,
silver, copper, zinc and manganese. Because of these mining operations, the
Yak Tunnel was constructed to dewater mines and facilitate mineral
exploration and development. Studies indicate that the Yak Tunnel
discharges a combined total of 210 tons per year of cadmium, lead, copper,
manganese, iron, and zinc into California Gulch, which drains into the
Arkansas River. Both California Gulch and the Arkansas River are used by
the public for recreation, and the Arkansas River is heavily used for
irrigation, livestock watering, public water supply and fisheries as well.
Surface water contamination is the major impact of the Yak Tunnel
discharge. Heavy metal migration through surface water has also caused
ground water and sediment contamination. Primary contaminants of concern
affecting the surface water, sediments, and ground water are cadmium,
copper, lead and zinc.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: construction of
surge ponds at the portal of Yak Tunnel to protect the California Gulch site
and the Arkansas River from accidental release of acid water, sludge, and
sediments; construction of concrete plugs at locations in the tunnel to
reduce migration of contaminated water and reduce the extraction of metals
from raw mineral ore; sealing shafts and drill holes, diversion of surface
water away from tunnel recharge areas, and grouting of highly fractured
rock; implementation of a monitoring program to detect leaks, seeps or
migration of contaminated ground water; and installation of an interim
treatment plant to treat ground water, which will be pumped to control
surface seeps and migration of contaminated surface water. The estimated
capital cost of the selected remedy is $11,982,770 with annual O&M costs of
$460,307.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; This operable unit invokes an interim
remedy waiver. Because of other sources affecting surface water
contamination, the remedy does not expect to attain chemical-specific
cleanup goals for surface water. Response actions in subsequent operable
units, in combination with this remedy, will attain a level or standard of
control at least equivalent to ARARs.

CENTRAL CITY/CLEAR CREEK, CO
Second Remedial Action
March 31, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Clear Creek/Central City site is located approximately 30 miles west
of Denver in Clear Creek and Gilpin Counties, Colorado. The site consists
primarily of acid mine drainages from five mines/tunnels and adjacent
milling and mining wastes. Currently, acid mine drainage and runon and
runoff from the tailings and waste rock piles have affected downstream
surface water quality. In addition to the direct discharge from the mine
tunnels, contaminated water may enter Clear Creek and North Clear Creek
during overland sheet flow. This occurs during rapid snowmelt and storms.
The resulting surface flow across the tailings and waste rock piles
dissolves soluble minerals and transports particulate tailings and waste
rock materials into the creeks. All this results in elevated creek acidity
and metal loads. The introduction of tailings and waste rock into the
creeks could also occur due to catastrophic collapse of tailings and waste
rock piles during a flash flood or as a result of undercutting of the base
of the pile under any flow regimen. The discharges from the five tunnels
were addressed in the first remedial action operable unit for this site.
The primary contaminants of concern for human receptors in surface water
include: aluminum, arsenic, cadmium, chromium (IV), lead, manganese,
nickel, and silver. For aquatic receptors, the above list expands to
include: copper, fluoride, and zinc.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: slope
stabilization at the Big Five Tunnel and Gregory Incline; monitoring of the
gabion wall at the Gregory Incline; and run-on control at the Argo Tunnel,
Big Five Tunnel, Gregory Incline, National Tunnel, and the Quartz Hill
Tunnel. The estimated present worth cost for this remedial action is
$1,049,600.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; The selected interim remedy requires the
exercise of the "interim remedy" from the contaminant-specific ARARs listed
in the FS.

INDIAN BEND WASH, AZ
First Remedial Action
September 21, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Indian Bend Wash site (IBW) encompasses 13 square miles in
Scottsdale and Tempe, Arizona. The portion of the site addressed in this
remedial action, the Scottsdale Ground Water Operable Unit, covers
approximately eight square miles within the Scottsdale city limits. The
Indian Bend Wash, a flood protection mechanism, runs north - south through
the site and supports recreational uses. Ponds in the wash are used as a
water collection system. The land use of this area is primarily residential
with approximately 30 percent used for commercial, light industrial and
developed recreational purposes. The resident population of Scottsdale was
115,500 in 1986, and is expected to reach 129,500 by 1990. Approximately 70
percent of the City of Scottsdale's municipal water currently is supplied by
ground water. Future population growth will require greater use of ground
water resources, particularly from the contaminated areas. In 1981, TCE was
discovered in the ground water from several City of Scottsdale and City of
Phoenix municipal wells at concentrations exceeding the Arizona Department
of Health Services action levels. Several facilities within the site
boundaries have records of past use of TCE in their manufacturing process.
Seven of the 12 city wells within the boundaries of this operable unit have
levels of VOCs exceeding primary drinking water standards. One of the seven
is equipped with a VOC treatment facility and is used as a potable water
supply source. The other six wells are currently offline. The site was
placed on the NPL in 1982. The primary contaminants of concern affecting
the ground water are VOCs including TCE and PCE.
The selected remedial action for this operable unit of the site
includes: extraction of ground water by pumping City of Scottsdale Wells
No. 31, 71, 72 and 75 at a minimum of 75 percent of their historical
capacities; treatment of ground water using packed column aeration to
transfer the VOCs from the water to air, with vapor phase GAC adsorption to
remove VOCs from the air waste stream; and distribution of the treated water
to the City of Scottsdale municipal water system. This remedial action
addresses ground water contamination only in the Middle and Lower Alluvium
Units beneath the north portion of IBW within the Scottsdale City limits.
Contamination beyond these limits in the ground water of the Upper Alluvium
limit and in the soil will be addressed in subsequent remedial actions for
the IBW site. The estimated total capital cost for this operable unit is
$4,008,000 with an estimated annual O&M cost of $520,000.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALSs Treatment of the ground water will reduce
contamination to levels below MCLs and State action levels. Specific
treatment goals include TCE 5 ug/1 (MCL), TCA 200 ug/1 (MCL), DCE 7 ug/1
(MCL), and PCE 0.67 ug/1.

LORENT2 BARREL & DRUM, CA
First Remedial Action
September 25, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The 5.4-acre Lorentz Barrel & Drum (LB&D) site is located in San Jose,
California, about 0.25 mile from San Jose State University. The site lies
directly above a major source of potable ground water in the south San
Francisco Bay area, with three public water supply well fields within one
mile of the site. In 1947 the Lorentz family began a drum recycling
operation on 10.5 acres of land at the site. Currently, 4.5 acres are
capped with tar and gravel but contains stored drums, 0.75 acre includes the
reconditioning facilities. Drums containing residual aqueous wastes,
organic solvents, acids, oxidizers, caustic residues and oils were received
for recycling. During the early years of operation, portions of the site
were also leased to other companies. Between 1950 and 1978 a drainage ditch
north of the drum processing building carried process wastes to a large sump
and other ponding areas onsite. Prior to 1968 wastes from the sump were
discharged to a storm drain system. Sometime between 1968 and 1971 the
discharge was diverted to a sanitary sewer, and investigations indicate that
this discharge occurred until 1984. After this time, liquid wastes were
evaporated, drummed and disposed of as hazardous waste along with
incinerator ash, residual liquids, and sludge. Subsequent surface runoff
was collected and recycled in the hot caustic drum wash. Since 1981 several
investigations have revealed soil and ground water contaminated with
numerous metals, organics, and PCBs. Removal of drums, stored hazardous
materials, and highly contaminated soil has been conducted at the site.
This remedial action will address the offsite contaminated shallow ground
water. Onsite contaminated soil and additional shallow and deep ground
water remediation will- be addressed in a subsequent remedial action. The
primary contaminants of concern affecting soil and ground water are VOCs,
including benzene, PCE and TCE, other organics including PCBs and
pesticides, and metals including arsenic and nickel.
The selected Expedited Response Action for this site includes: onsite
ground water pump and treatment using ozone/UV for organic removal and ion
exchange for nickel removal, with discharge of treated water to a local
creek. The estimated present worth cost for this remedy is $3,238,000 with
annual O&M costs of $198,000.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; Treatment of ground water will attain
levels at or below MCLs and NPDES discharge limit requirements. Specific
treatment levels include: benzene, PCE, and TCE 5.6 ug/1 (MCLS), PCBs 0.065
ug/1, and arsenic 0.23 ug/1. PCBs and pesticides will be removed to
detection limits.

MGM BRAKES, CA
First Remedial Action-Final
September 29, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The MGM Brakes site consists of a five-acre plot containing an
automotive brakes casting plant, a paved area surrounding the plant, and an
open field. It is located in the city of Cloverdale, California, in
Alexander Valley, approximately 80 miles north of San Francisco. Forty
homes, an apartment complex, a church, an animal grazing area, and several
construction companies exist within a half-mile radius of the site. In
addition, a 200 unit housing development is under construction immediately
adjacent to the site. Surface water drainage from the site flows into Icaia
Creek which flows into the Russian River. From 1965 until 1972, wastewater
containing PCBs was discharged onto site property. Wastewater containing
ethylene glycol was disposed onsite between 1972 and 1981. The ethylene
glycol acted as a co-solvent with water, facilitating the transport of PCBs
in soil. Approximately 13,510 yd3 of soil within a 3-acre area have been
contaminated with PCBs at concentrations up to 4500 ppm. The majority of
contamination is present at depths of less than 5 feet (although
contamination to 29 feet was found in one area). In addition, VOCs have
been detected in ground water from wells on and near the site. However, the
source of this contamination is unknown. The primary contaminants of
concern affecting ground water are VOCs including TCE and benzene. The
primary contaminants of concern affecting soil, sediments, surface water,
and air are PCBs.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: dismantling of the
MGM Brakes process building; crushing of concrete slab, and excavation of
soil and of contaminated sediments in the drainage ditch containing PCBs at
levels greater than or equal to 10 mg/kg, with disposal in an offsite
California regulated Class II landfill if below 50 ppm and a TSCA-approved
landfill if above 50 ppm; determination and removal of VOC-contaminated soil
and offsite RCRA disposal; treatment of dewatered ground water for PCBs and
VOCs through use of an onsite mobile treatment unit and discharge to a
publicly owned treatment works (POTW); soil replacement, regrading,
compaction, and revegetation; offsite ground water monitoring to determine
extent of VOC contamination; and development of additional remedial
measures, if warranted. The estimated capital cost for this remedial action
is $5,369,300 with no annual O&M costs.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; Soil containing greater than or equal to
10 mg/kg PCBs (equal to 10~5 cancer risk) will be removed. Ground water
will be restored to MCL or other health-based levels such that the total
risk from VOC contamination at the site boundary does not exceed 10~6.
Discharge levels of treated ground water to the local POTW will meet the
requirements of the California North Coast Regional Water Quality Control
Board's Water Quality Control Plan.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS; Implementation of institutional controls is not
necessary because the selected remedy will not result in hazardous
substances remaining onsite above health-based levels.

MOTOROLA 52ND STREET, AZ
First Remedial Action
September 30, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Motorola 52nd Street site is located in the eastern part of the City
of Phoenix, Maricopa County, Arizona. The site is bounded by the Phoenix
Military Reservation and mixed residential and commercial neighborhoods.
The site is currently owned by Motorola, Inc., which operates a
manufacturing facility at the site using solvents for various manufacturing
processes. In January 1983, Motorola tested some underground storage tanks
used to store virgin solvents for leaks and determined that a 5,000-gallon
tank containing TCA was leaking. Subsequently, Motorola conducted a
preliminary investigation, which indicated soil and ground water
contamination on the plant site and ground water contamination offsite to
the west. Motorola initiated an onsite ground water treatment program in
1986, which included treatability testing, design and installation of a
Pilot Treatment Plant (FTP), treatment of ground water, and beneficial use
of the effluent in the plant's air fume scrubbers. The FTP is still in
operation. The selected remedy for this ROD requires partial cleanup of
onsite and offsite organic solvents contamination in the soil and alluvium
groundwater. A subsequent remedial action will address cleanup of all
onsite and offsite contamination in the soil, alluvium ground water, and the
bedrock underlying the alluvium. The primary contaminant of concern
affecting the soil and ground water is TCA.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: onsite soil-gas
extraction and treatment using granular activated carbon systems; pump and
treatment of on- and offsite ground water with treatment onsite and use of
the treated ground water in site manufacturing processes; and ground water
monitoring. The estimated present worth cost for this remedial action is
$7,600,000 with annual O&M costs of $700,000.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; Ground water cleanup will meet relevant
State and Federal standards including Maricopa County Pollution Control
discharge standards. Individual contaminant goals were not specified.

OPERATING INDUSTRIES, CA
Second Remedial Action
November 16, 1987
ROD ABSTRACT
The Operating Industries, Inc. (Oil) site is a 190-acre landfill located
in Monterey Park, California. The City of Montebello borders the southern
parcel of the landfill and has a population of 52,929 residents. Several
residences are located immediately adjacent to the landfill boundaries.
Between 1948 and 1984, the landfill was used for the disposal of municipal
and industrial waste (some of which would currently be classified as
hazardous waste). Beginning in 1976, the landfill was permitted to receive
liquid hazarous waste between 1976 and 1983, and accepted over 200 million
gallons of manifested liquid waste. Over its 36-year life span, the Oil
landfill has accepted several types of waste including: residential and
commercial refuse; water-insoluble, nondecomposable inert solids; liquid
wastes; various hazardous wastes including waste water treatment sludge from
production of chrome oxide green pigment; and slop oil emulsion solids and
tank bottom sludges (leaded) from petroleum refining operations. Both
landfill gas and leachate are generated at the Oil site. Several gas and
leachate collection systems were constructed by the owners of Oil during the
early 1980s to partially control landfill gas and prevent surface seepage of
leachate. GSF, Inc. also constructed a commercial methane recovery system
at the site and began extracting gas from the landfill for processing and
sale in 1979. Leachate was redisposed at the landfil until October 1984;
since then, collected leachate has been stored in tanks onsite and
transported to a permitted offsite treatment facility. The collected
leachate contains VOCs. EPA took over day to day operations and maintenance
of the site and existing site systems as an emergency response action in May
1986. EPA has conducted a number of othe emergency actions to mitigate some
of the potential threats to public health and the environment which are
posed by the site. GSF, Inc. abandoned their gas extraction operations in
the spring of 1987, and EPA has operated the GSF system since that time. In
July 1987 EPA signed a Record of Decision addressing site control and
monitoring activities, which have since been conducted by EPA as a remedial
action. This ROD is designed to address the approximately 10,000 gallons of
leachate that are expected to be collected before implementation of a final
site remedy. The leachate generated contains VOCs including benzene, TCE,
toluene, and vinyl chloride.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: onsite treatment
of leachate and other collected hazardous liquids by air stripping and
granular activated carbon adsorption in a facility constructed at onsite
location B, with discharge to the Los Angeles County Sanitation District
sewerage system for treatment at a POTW. The estimated five-year capital
cost for this remedial action is $1,900,000 with estimated five-year annual
O&M of $700,000.

OPERATING INDUSTRIES, CA
Third Remedial Action
September 30, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Operating Industries Inc. (Oil) site is a 190-acre landfill located
in Monterey Park, California, 10 miles east of Los Angeles. To the
northwest and east of the site the land use is primarily industrial;
residential units are located to the southwest, east and west of the site.
There are approximately 53.,000 residences within a 3-mile radius of the
site. Available data indicate that 2,150 people live within 1,000 feet of
the landfill. Disposal activities at the site began in October 1948 by the
Monterey Park Disposal Company (MPDC) who used the site as a municipal
landfill on behalf of the City of Monterey Park. In 1952, the site and
additional land, totalling 218 acres, were purchased by Oil. The landfill
was permitted to accept household refuse, organic refuse, scrap metal,
non-decomposable inert solids, and certain types of liquids. In 1964, the
State of California purchased 28 acres of the land owned by Oil to construct
the Pomona Freeway, which divided the site into two sections. In 1975,
Monterey Park City limited solid waste disposal to a 130-acre section of the
landfill and a year later restricted disposal of liquids to a 32-acre
section of the landfill. In April 1983, Oil ceased accepting all liquid
wastes; disposal of all solid wastes ended in October 1984. EPA currently
is performing operation and maintenance of the existing leachate collection
system, perimeter gas extraction system and interior gas extraction system.
This remedial action addresses only the issue of landfill gas (LFG)
migration control and destruction. Final cover, leachate collection, ground
water and soil contamination, slope stability and final closure will be
addressed in subsequent remedial action. The primary contaminants of
concern affecting the air are methane and VOCs including benzene, PCE, TCE
and toluene.
The selected remedial action at the site includes: installation of
perimeter LFG extraction wells, pile-driven wells on the top deck of the
landfill, shallow and deep slope wells to control intermediate-to-deep
subsurface migration at the perimeter, and integrated perimeter and interior
LFG headers; utilization of existing gas extraction wells and gas monitoring
probes; installation of multiple completion monitoring wells at the property
boundary, landfill gas destruction facilities and an automated control
station for the gas control system; and installation of abovegrade
condensate sumps to collect condensate from gas headers, leachate pumps in
gas wells to dewater saturated zones, and abovegrade leachate sumps. The
selected remedial action for the North Parcel system includes: installation
of 6 single completion extraction wells to the depth of the refuse and
installation of 1,500 feet of header lines. The estimated present worth for
this remedial action is $73,000,000 with an annual O&M cost of $2,340,000.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS: This remedy will attain State-required
levels for vinyl chloride ambient concentrations of 10 ug/1 over a 24-hour
period, carbon monoxide emissions of 2,000 mg/1 and sulfur dioxide emissions
of 500 mg/1. The risk of fire or explosion due to landfill gas accumulating
offsite will be eliminated by controlling methane concentrations to less
than five percent of the landfill boundary. The leachate and condensate
that will be collected from the gas control system will be treated to levels
established by the POTW pretreatment requirements.

ORDOT LANDFILL, GU
First Remedial Action - Final
September 28, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Ordot Landfill site is located on the Island of Guam. The landfill
is in a volcanic upland region, where site runoff flows directly into the
adjacent Lonfit River. Water wells have not been drilled in the volcanics
near the landfill. There is concern, however, that a suspected fault near
the landfill may provide a hydrologic connection between the contaminants at
Ordot Landfill and Guam's major drinking water acguifer located in the
northern limestone province of Guam. The landfill is presently managed and
operated by the Guam Department of Public Works, and has been receiving
uncontrolled municipal wastes since before World War II. Because it is the
only major public waste disposal site on Guam it has received some hazardous
waste during its history, including spent industrial and commercial
chemicals, PCB-contaminated oils from transformers, and perhaps munitions.
The facility uses almost the entire 47-acre waste disposal area, with only
approximately 4 to 7 acres of the oldest portion of the landfill not
currently in use. The current depth of disposed wastes is approximately 100
feet. In March 1986, EPA found Ordot Landfill in violation of the Clean
Water Act for discharging landfill leachate to the Lonfit River without an
NPDES permit. The 1987 initial site characterization study concluded that
surface flow through the landfill is the source of leachate, the site is
hydrologically isolated from the island's sole source aquifer, there is an
absence of organic contaminants, inorganic contamination is below the
appropriate MCLs, and no air quality problems exist. The study concluded
that current threats to human health and the environment are a result of
poor landfill operation practices and not a result of the few acres of the
landfill which are no longer in operation. The primary contaminants of
concern affecting the ground water and surface water include iron and
manganese.
The selected remedial action for this site is the no action
alternative. EPA concludes that threats to human health and the environment
can best be mitigated through addressing operation and maintenance of the
landfill, and that the appropriate mechanism for implementing these controls
is through enforcement of the Clean Water Act. Further, EPA concludes that
any remedial action to address the inactive portion of the landfill would be
jeopardized or nullified unless operation practices at the active disposal
areas are improved. No costs are associated with the no action alternative.

SAN GABRIEL VALLEY (AREAS 1, 2, and 4), CA
Second Remedial Action
September 29, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The San Gabriel Valley sites consist of four large areas of ground water
contamination located approximately 10-20 miles east of Los Angeles in Los
Angeles County, California. The sites include industrial, commercial,
residential, and undeveloped areas. The contaminated ground water underlies
significant portions of several cities and outlying areas of the San Gabriel
Valley, and appears to be the result of inadequate handling and disposal of
industrial solvents by dozens of industrial/commercial facilities. The Main
San Gabriel Ground Water Basin, which underlies the San Gabriel Valley,
provides over 90% of the water supply for over 1 million people. Ground
water and surface water, including the San Gabriel and Rio Hondo rivers,
flow predominantly to the southwest through Whittier Narrows. Drainage
through Whittier Narrows enters Central Basin to the south, another major
water supply source. Ground water discharges to surface water in several
locations including a creek in the southwest portion of the valley and the
San Gabriel and Rio Hondo rivers near Whittier Narrows. Ground water
contamination by VOCs has been detected in over 50 wells at concentrations
above the action levels established by the California Department of Health
Services. This ROD addresses contamination in the Bartolo Well Field, a
private water utility, owned and operated by Suburban Water Systems (SWS)
and located along the east side of the San Gabriel River in the Whittier
Narrows area. The Bartolo Well Field consists of four public water supply
wells that provide over 55 percent of the water supply for approximately
17,000 commercial and residential water customers in SWS's Whittier Service
District. They were first identified as contaminated' in the the fall of
1986. This action is the first phase of a larger remedial action planned
for the Whittier Narrows area and addresses only a small part of the
contamination in the San Gabriel Valley Areas 1, 2, and 4 sites. The
objective of this action is to partially control the movement and spread of
contaminants in the Whittier Narrows area of the San Gabriel Valley, thereby
contributing to aquifer restoration of the San Gabriel Valley Areas 1, 2,
and 4 sites. Additionally, this action will address the potential public
health threat posed by the SWS's Bartolo Well Field. The primary
contaminants of concern affecting the ground water are VOCs including PCE
and ICE.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: onsite ground
water pump and treatment using an air stripping system equipped with air
emissions controls, with subsequent discharge to the utility's water
distribution system; floodproofing the treatment facility; and ground water
monitoring.

SELMA PRESSURE TREATING, CA
First Remedial Action - Final
September 24, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Selma Pressure Treating site is located in Selma, California, 15
miles south, of the City of Fresno. The site encompasses approximately 18
acres, including a 3 to 4-acre wood treatment facility and 14 acres of
adjacent vineyards that were used for site drainage. Land use in the
vicinity of the site includes agricultural, residential, and industrial
areas, with 12 residences and businesses located within 0.25 mile. The
ground water resources in the area have been classified as a Sole-Source
Aquifer and a current drinking water source with other beneficial uses.
Wood preserving activities using pentachlorophenol (PCP) were conducted at
the site from 1942 until 1965 under a series of owners. In 1965, a new
facility was constructed converting operations to a pressure treating
process using chemical preservatives. Prior to 1982, wastes generated from
spent retort fluids and sludges were discharged to drainage and percolation
ditches, dry wells, and an unlined pond and sludge pit, as well as onto open
ground and the adjacent vineyards. An inspection conducted by EPA in 1981
raised concerns about the potential for ground water contamination, and as a
result the company was required to modify its operations to minimize the
potential for contamination. The total volume of soil requiring remediation
is approximately 16,100 yd^. The primary contaminants of concern
affecting the ground water and soil are organics including dioxin and
phenols, and metals including arsenic and chromium.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: ground water pump
and treatment using precipitation, coagulation, and flocculation with
reinjection into the aquifer or offsite discharge; soil excavation and
solidification/stabilization with replacement in excavated areas and capping
fixed soil with a RCRA cap; ground water and soil monitoring for
approximately 30 years; and long-term access and land use restrictions for
fixed areas and short-term institutional controls for ground water use. The
estimated present worth cost for this remedial action is $11,280,000 with
annual OSM of $1,300,000.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; Soil cleanup will attain the risk-based
goals of dioxin/furan 1 ug/kg and arsenic 50 mg/kg to protect ground water.
Ground water treatment will meet the State MCL for chromium of 50 ug/kg.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS; Long-term access and land use restrictions will be
placed on areas of fixed soil, and short-term institutional controls will be
established to prevent use of contaminated ground water until remediation is
complete.

SOUTH BAY ASBESTOS, CA
First Remedial Action - Final
September 29, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The South Bay Asbestos (SBA) site is located at the northern end of the
Santa Clara Valley and at the southernmost extent of San Francisco Bay, in
Alviso, California. The site is within an area of approximately 330 acres,
and is comprised of a mixture of residential, commercial, light industrial,
and agricultural land uses. Approximately 1,700 residents live in Alviso.
The site is comprised of a ring levee, which extends around the community of
Alviso on the east, north and northwest. It is approximately four to twelve
feet in height, two miles in length, has a trapezoidal shape, and covers an
area of about eight acres. A narrow path exists along the crest of the
levee. The levee was built by the City of San Jose in 1983 during a major
flood caused by the Coyote Creek and the Guadalupe River. It lies within
the 100-year flood plain of the Guadalupe River and was constructed on
portions of wetland areas adjacent to the community of Alviso. It also
abuts wetland areas next to a national wildlife refuge near Alviso. In
August 1983, an excavation occurred on property owned by the City of San
Jose involving the construction of an outfall structure at the Guadalupe
River levee. The excavation revealed asbestos contamination ranging from 20
to 40 percent by area. Contaminated soil was removed between August and
December 1983. A September 1983 soil sampling also revealed the presence of
asbestos contamination throughout the community of Alviso, including the
ring levee. As a result, EPA sprayed the ring levee with a polymer dust
suppressant to control asbestos dust in May 1986, in 1987, and again in July
1988. The primary contaminant of concern affecting the soil is asbestos.
The selected remedial action for the ring levee includes: stripping and
rough grading of the levee; placement of a compacted soil layer and a top
soil cover followed by revegetation to prevent erosion; alteration of the
side slopes and construction of a three-foot wide path on the crest of the
levee; implementation of strict asbestos/dust control measures during the
entire construction operation; and implementation of deed restrictions. The
estimated present worth cost for this remedial action is $2,374,700 with
annual O&M of $19,000.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; The selected remedial action will be
protective of public health by creating a barrier to control release of the
asbestos fibers. No specific standards or goals were established.
Compliance with OSHA Worker Exposure Standards will be maintained during the
implementation of the remedy.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS; Deed restrictions will be implemented to prevent
the disturbance of the soil cover and possible release of asbestos fibers.

TUCSON INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT AREA, AZ
First Remedial Action
August 22, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Tucson International Airport Area (TAA) site encompasses sections of
southwest Tucson and adjoining lands south of the city in Pima County,
Arizona. The site is located in the Tucson Basin and includes industrial,
commercial, residential, and undeveloped areas, as well as the Tucson
International Airport, the U.S. Air Force Plant #44 (AFP44), and part of the
San Xavier Indian Reservation. The Santa Cruz River borders the site to the
west. The ground water system in the Tucson Basin has been designated a
Sole-Source Aquifer. Before the discovery of ground water contamination in
the TAA, wells within the site boundaries provided water for over 47,000
people. At least 20 facilities have operated in the TAA since 1942. These
include aircraft and electronics facilities, which discharged waste liquids
directly to surface soil; fire drill training areas, where uncombusted
residual wastes from training operations were left in unlined pits; and
unlined landfills, which received various wastes from several sources. The
first indications of ground water contamination in TAA appeared in the early
1950s when elevated levels of chromium were detected in a municipal supply
well adjacent to AFP44 in the southern portion of the site, and residents in
another area complained of foul-smelling water from private supply wells.
In 1976, a well was closed at AFP44 by the State because of high levels of
chromium. By 1981, additional sampling by the Air Force and EPA had
indicated the presence of VOCs in the ground water. Consequently, in 1981,
the City of Tucson began closing all municipal wells that exceeded the State
Action Level for the principle contaminant TCE, and notified private well
users of potential risks. The site was divided approximately in half along
Los Reales Road, with the Air Force addressing contamination to the south
and EPA addressing contamination to the north. In 1987, the Air Force began
operating its ground water pump and treatment system using ion exchange and
packed column aeration followed by reinjection into the aquifer. This ROD
addresses the ground water contamination in the northern portion of the
site, which together with the Air Force remedial ground water system
constitutes the overall ground water remedy for the site. The northern
portion of the site has been divided into two discrete areas, A and B. Area
A lies west of the airport and extends approximately 3.5 miles to the
northwest in the direction of ground water flow, and is generally less than
a mile wide. Area B consists of two smaller separate areas north of the
airport. If further investigations indicate that there is soil
contamination and that it is a source of continuing ground water
contamination, a ROD will be developed to address soil remediation. The
primary contaminants of concern affecting ground water are VOCs including
TCE, benzene, and xylenes.

TUCSON INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT AREA, AZ
First Remedial Action
(Continued)
The selected remedial action for this site includes: ground water pump
and treatment of Areas A and B using packed column aeration, followed by
discharge of treated water to the municipal water distribution system and
treatment of emissions from the treatment process using granular activated
carbon, if necessary. The estimated present worth cost for this remedial
action is between $7,328,000 and $7,820,000 with annual O&M between $393,000
and $450,000 for years 1-20.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; Ground water cleanup levels will attain an
overall excess cancer risk of 10~6 by remediating TCE to 1.5 ug/1. This
will reduce the levels of other contaminants below their respective MCLs,

COMMENCEMENT BAY/NEARSHORE, WA
First Remedial Action
December 30, 1987
ROD ABSTRACT
The Tacoma Tar Pits site covers approximately 30 acres within the
Commencement Bay - Nearshore/Tideflats site in Tacoma, Pierce County,
Washington. The tar pits lie between the Puyallup River, the city, and
Wheeler - Osgood Waterways. These bodies of water are not used as a water
supply, but support extensive fish and shellfish populations. Currently
there is concern for the site's impact on surface water quality and many
local industries that use ground water from onsite wells. In 1924, a coal
gasification plant began operations, and continued until 1956, at which time
they were terminated due to the availability of natural gas. During these
years, waste materials from the coal gasification process were disposed of
onsite. Contained in the waste materials, were a wide variety of organic
compounds and heavy metals. From 1965 to 1966, the plant was dismantled and
demolished. Most of the metal structures were removed from the site;
however, all demolition debris and below grade structures were left in
place, including tanks and pipelines containing tars. In 1967, a metal
recycling company began operating at the site. Recycling of automobile
batteries introduced acid, heavy metals, lead, and PCBs to the soil.
Several studies conducted by EPA and the Washington State Department of
Ecology between 1981 and 1983 found contaminants derived from the coal
gasification process. The primary contaminants of concern affecting surface
water and soil include: benzene, PAHs, PCBs, and lead.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: excavation of all
contaminated soils exceeding 1 percent total PAHs and all surface soils
exceeding a 10~6 lifetime cancer risk level with stabilization of all
excavated soils in a polymer/cement mixture; capping of the stabilized
matrix with asphalt; channeling and managing of surface waters; ground water
monitoring; and removal and treatment of ponded water. The estimated
present worth cost for this remedial action is $3,400,000.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; All soils at a depth equal to or less than
three feet will be treated to a 10~6 lifetime cancer risk. This equals
1 mg/kg for PCB (consistent with TSCA regulations), 1 mg/kg for PAHs, and
56 mg/kg for benzene. Surface soil containing more than 166 mg/kg lead will
also be treated. All other soil exceeding 10,000 mg/kg PAH will be
excavated and treated in accordance with the State law for the designation
of extremely hazardous waste. These standards will be re-evaluated for
technical feasibility when the Remedial Action is undertaken.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS; Land use restrictions will be implemented.

ROD ABSTRACT
The Commencement Bay/Tacoma site is a 190-acre industrial/municipal
landfill located in Pierce County, Tacoma, Washington. The landfill is
operated by the City of Tacoma Refuse Utility and is surrounded primarily by
residential development and open land, with some commercial and industrial
development. Several utilities (i.e., sewer, water, and storm) pass through
the site. An aquifer beneath the site provides drinking water to the Town
of Fircrest and the City of Tacoma, both of which have wells near the
landfill. The aquifer is also used by private individuals for their
domestic water supply. Ground water flows predominatly to the southwest
toward Leach Creek, which lies approximately 0.25 mile west of the
landfill. Consequently, wetlands downstream of the landfill could
potentially be exposed to contaminants in the surface water and ground
water. The Tacoma landfill began operations in 1960, receiving only
nonhazardous wastes including assorted municipal and industrial wastes,
construction and demolition wastes, and bulk waste. To date, about
4 million tons of refuse have been deposited at the landfill to depths of
20 to 80 feet. Although the landfill does not accept hazardous wastes for
disposal, it did receive wastes in the 1960s and 1970s that have since been
designated as hazardous substances. In 1983, investigations by EPA revealed
the presence of hazardous compounds in the ground water and soil near the
landfill. Subsequent investigations indicated that the ground.water is
contaminated with VOCs. In response, the City of Tacoma connected affected
residences to the public water system. In 1986, accumulation of landfill
gas in a utility vault adjacent to the landfill resulted in a minor
explosion. A field survey was initiated to evaluate the extent of offsite
gas migration, and based on this survey a gas extraction system was
constructed to extract, collect, and combust the gas. Gas samples collected
at the landfill revealed high levels of VOCs. The primary contaminants
affecting the ground water and surface water are VOCs including benzene,
toluene, and xylenes.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: construction of a
cap on the landfill with runoff directed to appropriate storm or sanitary
sewers, and installation of a gas extraction system and gas probes to
monitor methane gas production; installation of a ground water pump and
treatment system with discharge of treated water to a local creek or the
POTW and alternate water supply if needed; and ground water and surface
water monitoring. The estimated present worth cost for this remedial action
is between $21,015,000 and $23,418,000. The estimated O&M costs were not
provided.
PERFORMANCE STANDARD OR GOALS; Ground water cleanup levels were provided
for 10 contaminants of concern based on MCLs, WQC, pretreatment standards,
or risk assessments. Individual goals include benzene 5 ug/1 (MCL), toluene
14 ug/1 (WQC), and xylene 10 ug/1 (EPA Risk Assessment).

FRONTIER HARD CHROME, WA
First Remedial Action
December 30, 1987
ROD ABSTRACT
The Frontier Hard Chrome (FHC) site covering approximately one-half
acre, is located in the City of Vancouver, Washington. Underlying ground
water is used as the drinking water supply for the City of Vancouver. Two
well fields are within one mile of the FHC site. The site has primarily
been occupied by two businesses engaged in the chrome plating industry.
Pioneer Plating operated at the site from 1958 to 1970. The site was then
occupied by FHC until 1983. During Pioneer's operation and FHC's initial
operation, chromium plating wastes were discharged to the sanitary sewer
system. In 1975, the City of Vancouver determined that chromium in FHC's
waste water was upsetting the operation of its new secondary treatment
system. FHC was directed by Vancouver and the Washington Department of
Ecology (Ecology) to cease discharge to the sewer system until a treatment
system was installed to remove chromium from their waste. At that time, FHC
began discharge of their untreated plating wastes to a drywell behind the
facility. In 1976, FHC was given a waste water disposal permit for
discharge to the drywell by Ecology. The permit also contained a schedule
for completion of a treatment system for their wastes. In 1982, Ecology
found FHC in violation of the Dangerous Waste Act for the illegal disposal
for hazardous wastes. In 1983, Ecology ordered FHC to stop discharge of
chromium plating wastes to the drywell. Ecology discovered chromium in the
ground water at more than twice the drinking water standards and in soil and
FHC building structures.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: excavation of
7,400 yd3 of chromium contaminated soils exceeding 550 mg/kg with onsite
treatment using chemical stabilization followed by onsite disposal of
treatment residuals and placement of a final site cover; and demolition of
the FHC building. The estimated present worth cost for this remedial action
is $2,000,000.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; Currently, there are no standards for
chromium in the soil. The site-specific determination made at the FHC site
was to treat soils in excess of 550 mg/kg chromium. This determination was
made relative to the drinking water standard which would be applicable in
the future cleanup of ground water beneath the site.

ROD ABSTRACT
The Frontier Hard Chrome (FHC) site, covering approximately one-half
acre/ is located in the City of Vancouver, Washington. The areal ground
water is used as the drinking water supply for the City of Vancouver, which
has two well fields within one mile of the site. Since 1955, the site has
primarily been, occupied by two companies engaged in the chrome plating
business. Pioneer Plating operated at the site from 1958 to 1970. The site
was then occupied by FHC until 1983. Presently, the facility is being used
as a storage and staging area for a neighboring business. During the
operation of Pioneer and the initial operation of FHC, chromium plating
wastes were discharged to the sanitary sewer system. In 1975, the City of
Vancouver determined that the chromium in the wastewater from FHC was
upsetting the operation of its new secondary treatment system. FHC was
directed by the City and the Washington Department of Ecology (Ecology) to
cease discharge to the sewer system until a treatment system was installed
to remove the chromium waste. At that time, FHC began discharge of their
untreated plating wastes to a dry well behind the facility. In 1976,
Ecology permitted FHC to discharge to the dry well. Additionally, the
permit contained a schedule for completion of a waste treatment system.
Between 1976 and 1981, several extensions of the permit and schedule were
granted, as the deadlines passed without compliance. In 1982, Ecology found
FHC in violation of the Washington State Dangerous Waste Act for the illegal
disposal of hazardous wastes, and in 1983 ordered FHC to stop discharging to
the dry well. As a result, FHC also was required to prepare a plan for the
investigation of the ground water. FHC closed down all operations at the
site. The company did not undertake the investigation. In December 1987,
EPA published a ROD for the site's first operable unit, which addressed the
soil contamination. This second and final operable unit addresses chromium
contaminated ground water.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: ground water pump
and treatment using selective media ion exchange to remove chromium,
followed by carbon adsorption to remove VOCs with discharge into the river
or the city sanitary sewer; ground water monitoring; and implementation of
institutional controls to restrict ground water usage and to control new
well drilling. The estimated present worth cost for this remedy is
$3,800,000.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; The selected remedy prevents public
exposure to drinking water that exceeds MCLs for hexavalent chromium
0.05 mg/1, TCE 0.005 mg/1, and 1,1,1-trichloroethane 0.2 mg/1.
Additionally, treated ground water will meet NPDES requirements, EPA Water
Quality Criteria for protection of freshwater aquatic life, or city
pretreatment requirements (depending on remedial action determinations for
discharge).
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS; The use of ground water in and around the
contaminated plume will be restricted. These restrictions will be designed
to last until chromium levels reach drinking water standards.

GOULD, OR
First Remedial Action
March 31, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Gould site is located in a heavily industrial area of Portland,
Oregon, approximately 1.3 miles southeast of St. John's Bridge. The site is
contained in a 60-acre study area consisting of the Gould property and
outlying areas containing battery casings and other residues from site
operations. The area is sparsely populated and lies on the left bank
floodplain of the Willamette River. Doane Lake, a small pond, is located
adjacent to the site. The Gould site is mostly paved with asphalt,
therefore, onsite flora and fauna are limited. Between 1949 and
1981, various owners operated the site as a secondary lead smelting facility
specializing in lead-acid battery recycling, lead-smelting and refining,
zinc alloying and casting, cable sweating, and lead oxide production.
Operations ceased in August 1981; and by the summer of 1982 most of the
structures, facilities, and equipment were removed. Remedial investigation
and production records estimate that 86,900 tons of battery casings,
11,800 tons of matte, and 6,570,000 gallons of acid were disposed of at the
site. Approximately 2% of the total volume of battery casings is located in
surface piles, the remaining 98% is used as fill material, and is in direct
contact with ground water. The primary contaminants of concern affecting
the soil and sediments are lead and lead oxide. VOCs were discovered in
ground water, but will be addressed in a future operable unit.
The selected remedial action for the soils unit at the site include:
excavation of all battery casing fragments and matte from the Gould property
and adjacent contaminated areas; a phased design program to determine the
amount of material that can be recycled, and to minimize the amount of
material that must be RCRA landfilled; separation of battery casing
fragments; recycling of all applicable components; offsite disposal of
nonrecyclable material failing the EP Toxicity test; onsite disposal of
nonhazardous, nonrecyclable components; excavation, fixation/stabilization,
and onsite disposal of remaining contaminated soil, sediments, and matte
with soil capping and revegetation; isolation of surface water runoff to
East Doane Lake by site regrading; and a monitoring program to determine
changes in ground water contamination over time and to ensure that
remediation does not adversely impact air quality. Additional ground and
surface water studies will be performed to determine the need for
remediation of the media. The estimated capital cost of this remedy is
$3,491,603, assuming a "worst case" scenario where little of the material is
recyclable, with present worth O&M of $17,073,581.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; Surface soils having a total lead content
above 1000 mg/kg, and subsurface soils, matte, and East Doane Lake sediments
failing the EP Toxicity test, will be fixated and disposed of onsite. Site
boundaries will be monitored to determine if lead exceeds the NAAQs of
1.5 ug/m3.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS; The remedy will incorporate institutional controls;
however, individual controls were not specified.

MARTIN MARIETTA, OR
First Remedial Action - Final
September 29, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The 350-acre Martin Marietta Reduction Facility (MMRF) site is located
in The Dalles, Wasco County, Oregon. The site lies within an 800-acre area
used primarily for heavy industry and manufacturing; land not used for
industrial processes is leased for agricultural purposes. Less than 20
homes and businesses are located "in the area of the site. Ground water is
an important source of water supply in The Dalles area for domestic,
industrial and agricultural uses and flows in an easterly direction, toward
the Columbia River. From 1958 to 1970, Harvey Aluminum, Inc. operated a
processing facility designed to produce about 90,000 tons of aluminum a
year. Martin Marietta Corporation (MMC) acquired the facility in 197,0 and
continued aluminum processing operations until 1984, when the plant was shut
down. In 1986, MMC leased the plant and adjacent portions of the property
to Northwest Aluminum Company, which resumed aluminum operations in 1987.
The MMRF site consists of 28 areas of significant contamination resulting
from treatment, storage, and disposal practices at the site. A 15-acre
landfill located near the aluminum reduction building contains approximately
200,000 yd3 of waste and plant construction debris. Leachate emanating
from the landfill operations prior to the installation of a leachate
collection system has resulted in the contamination of the area aquifer.
Significant waste types in the landfill include asbestos, metallic wastes,
and 5,000 tons of spent cathode waste materials containing cyanide, PAHs,
and arsenic. In addition to the landfill, approximately 64,670 yd3 of
cathode waste material was deposited in areas referred to as the unloading
area and the cathode waste management areas. And scrubber sludge ponds,
consisting of 4 surface impoundments, two of which are covered with soil and
vegetation, cover 14.8 acres and contain contaminated sludge and subsoil.
The primary contaminants of concern affecting the soil, ground water, and
debris are VOCs including TCE, organics including PAHs, inorganics including
asbestos and cyanide, and metals including arsenic.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: excavation of the
cathode waste material and placement into the existing landfill, and
covering the landfill with a RCRA cap; placement of a soil cover over
scrubber sludge ponds 2 and 3; plugging and abandonment of nearby production
wells and connecting ground water users to the City of Dalles water supply
system; collection and onsite treatment of leachate generated from the
landfill, the perched water east of River Road and the cathode waste
management areas, and the ground water in the unloading area using an
aqueous treatment system with onsite discharge to a recycling pond; ground
water monitoring; establishment of a contingency plan to perform additional
recovery of ground water in the event further contamination is detected; and
implementation of institutional controls. The estimated present worth cost
for this remedial action is $6,707,400 with annual O&M of $144,000 for years
1-5 and $55,600 for years 6-30.

PACIFIC HIDE & FUR, ID
First Remedial Action - Final
June 28, 1988
ROD ABSTRACT
The Pacific Hide & Fur (PHF) site, consists of approximately 11-acres of
fenced land, located in the northwest edge of Pocatello, Bannock County,
Idaho. The site, a former gravel mining area, was purchased by McCarty's,
Inc. (MI), a scrap metal dealer, in 1958. MI purchased scrap metal,
batteries, drained transformers, and capacitors filled with PCB oils from
various sources, storing them onsite in a previously excavated gravel pit.
The waste is stored in the excavated pit, comprised of approximately three
acres, for resale, reuse, or salvage. In August 1979, PHF purchased the
rights to salvage scrap metal for four years. In the course of salvage
operations, materials may have been moved from the pit. Also, PHF may have
purchased scrap metals and transformers and stored them onsite. Records
indicate that none of the new transformers purchased by PHF contained PCB
oils. Transformers containing fluids were drained into site drums or into
the pit. In January 1983, the U.S. EPA and the Idaho Department of Health
and Welfare (IDHW) began investigating the site to determine whether
disposal of PCB oils were occurring on or offsite due to operations at the
metal facility. EPA declared the site to be an immediate threat to public
health and welfare. As a result, approximately 593 PCB capacitors were
transported offsite for incineration, and 21 hazardous materials drums and
30 cubic yards of soil were transported offsite for disposal. Additionally,
11 ground water wells and a security fence were installed at the site. The
primary contaminants of concern affecting the soil are PCBs.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: excavation of soil
to an average of 1.5 feet followed by screening to separate large
contaminated materials and testing for further contamination; stabilization
of a portion of the soil using an immobilization technique; construction of
a bottom clay liner, where necessary; capping of the stabilized and
remaining materials; removal of some ground water monitoring wells; ground
water monitoring; and deed and access restrictions. If the fixation
technology is found to be impracticable, onsite containment will be
implemented as the final remedial action. The estimated present value of
this remedial action ranges from $1,330,000 to $1,890,000. There is no O&M
associated with this remedy.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS; The soil cleanup goal for PCBs of 25 mg/kg
by weight was established as the EPA cleanup policy for PCB spills, and
corresponds with a 10~4 to 10"6 health-based risk level for the entire
site (including hot spot areas).
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS: Deed restrictions to prohibit excavation or
drilling will be developed consistent with final design determinations.

Cleanuo Goals
Soils with chromium
in excess of
550 nig/kg will be
treated. There is
presently no soil
standard for
chromium. Testing
determined that soils
< 500 mg/kg would not
release chromium to
the GW at levels
above the drinking
water standard of
0.05 mg/1
The remedy prevents
public exposure to
drinking water which
exceeds MCLs for
chromium 0.050 mg/1,
TCE 0.005 "mg/1, and
1 ,1 ,1-trichloroethane
0.2 mg/1.
Additionally, treated
GW will meet NPDES
requirements, EPA WQC
for protection of
freshwater aquatic
life, or city
