Superfund Today
EPA Celebrates 400th Cleanup!
The Lord-Shope Landfill in rural Girard
Township, Pennsylvania just became the
400th Superfund site to reach the "construc-
tion complete" milestone.
A construction
completion site is a
former toxic waste site
where physical
construction of all
cleanup actions are
complete, all immediate
threats have been
addressed, and all
long-term threats are
under control.
Carol Browner, EPA's Administrator,
helped the Girard Township community
celebrate Lord-Shope's construction
completion status on October 15, 1996
along with representatives of the Lord
Corporation—whose wastes, disposed of
in the landfill, contaminated the ground
water. As Administrator Browner stated:
" This site is a symbol for the nation
of what we can do when we join
together, community by community,
to clean toxic waste sites. It is also a
symbol of the progress we've made in
speeding up cleanups and making
Superfund work faster, fairer, and
more efficiently, in communities across
the country."
Lord-Shope Landfill was once a dump
that contained large amounts of hazardous
materials including rubber scrap, solvents,
caustics, acids, and other chemicals. Soils
and ground water were contaminated with
volatile organic chemicals and lead, and the
local water supply was threatened. The con-
struction completion success at this site was
a team effort between residents, the Com-
monwealth of Pennsylvania, EPA, and the
Lord Corporation.
t/ Community members worried about the
effects of toxic chemicals and debris on
health, property, and quality of life in-
formed the state and EPA about the situ-
ation.
1r Pennsylvania's Department of Environmen-
tal Resources protected residents from the
more immediate threats by removing 81
drums of waste and covering the landfill
with a clay cap to keep contamination
from spreading.
I/EPA designed the long-term remedy to
protect the ground water and soil, and
supervised the cleanup.
I/'Lord Corporation is performing and pay-
ing for the cleanup action under EPA's
supervision. The price tag to date tops
$5.5 million.
Cleanup construction is now complete at
Lord-Shope. A cutoff wall was installed to
prevent lateral ground water migration through
the fill materials thus helping to prevent future
ground water contamination. Ground water
cleanup is proceeding via pump and treat and
continued monitoring of contaminants in
ground water. Meanwhile, an innovative tech-
nology—vapor stripping—is being used to
decontaminate the soils. Parts of the site
surface are ready for reuse, and options for
future use are being considered.

industry, aims to protect and

Superfuna Today — Construction Completion
Accelerating the Pace
Moving More Sites to Construction Completion
The Superfund program is moving faster than ever
to clean up hazardous waste sites in communities all
around the country. EPA completed construction at
more sites in the last four years than were completed in
the previous twelve years. In fact, more than 60% of
the 410 current total construction completion sites
were completed in the last four years. EPA has imple-
mented a series of reforms within the Superfund pro-
gram that are likely to accelerate the pace of cleanup
(such as presumptive remedies). Committed to make
Superfund work "faster, fairer, and more efficiently,"
EPA is right on track to move more sites through the
cleanup pipeline to construction completion than ever
before.
"[The] 400th cleanup shows that we have delivered
on our pledge to dramatically
accelerate the pace of toxic waste cleanups...
we are committed that Superfund must
continue to work for the benefit of our
communities—to protect our health and
our environment for generations to come—
and to meet our fundamental promise to
the American people—the promise of
fresh air to breathe, clean water to drink,
safe food to eat, and land that is safe to live on."

Administrator, US EPA

410 Sites and Counting...
The Superfund program initiated the construction completion program in 1991. In recent years, the construction completion "pace" has quickened.

Construction Completion
What it Means
A construction completion site is a
former toxic waste site where physi-
cal construction of all cleanup ac-
tions are complete, all immediate
threats have been addressed, and all
long-term threats are under control.
Bringing a toxic waste site to con-
struction completion is a significant
benchmark in the cleanup process. It
means contaminants are no longer
threatening the health and well-be-
ing of the surrounding community
or spreading uncontrolled through
the soil, surface water, or ground
water.
At construction completion sites,
EPA has designed and implemented
cleanup remedies to eliminate con-
tamination and restore the environment
so that it may be reused. Even though
long-term cleanup actions may still be
operating, the site is often ready to be
reused for economic, social, or environ-
mental purposes.
The diagram below shows a before and
after example of a toxic dump site that has
reached the construction completion stage.
Once the contaminated drums and pol-
luted soil are removed, a cutoff wall is
installed and a pump and treat station is
built to clean the ground water. Redevel-
opment can be considered even though
ground water treatment will continue for
a number of years.
The following examples illustrate ways a
site may reach construction completion.
t/ Many construction completion sites in-
clude long-term treatment—For example,
EPA might treat polluted soils and
wastes that contaminated ground wa-
ter. Waste would no longer enter the
aquifer, but ground water would con-
tinue to be pumped and treated until
clean-perhaps for 20 years or more.
Meanwhile, the site surface is ready for
redevelopment.
tr Construction Completion can also mean
containment of hazardous waste—For
example, EPA "caps" a landfill with an
impermeable layer, and installs drains
and gas collection systems to contain
contamination. If no further long term
treatment is necessary, the site is deemed
construction complete.

Cleanup Tools
Behind the Scenes at a Superfund Site
Each Superfund site is a fresh challenge.
Landscapes and contours are unique, land
uses vary, the contaminant mix is differ-
ent, and options abound for site reuse. To
deal with these situations, EPA approaches
every site with a variety of cleanup options.
These cleanup technologies are designed
to fulfill EPA's mission of protecting hu-
man health and the environment, maxi-
mizing potential for site reuse, and mini-
mizing costs to taxpayers in local commu-
nities.
Superfund's Established
Technologies
At construction completion sites, EPA
employed more than two dozen different
types of cleanup approaches that are tai-
lored both to the types of contaminants and
the natural resources that are polluted (such
as soil and ground water). For contaminated
soils, "excavation and removal" was the most
common method used at construction
completion sites. This method commonly
removes polluted soil and debris by trucking
it from a site and treating it at a licensed
hazardous waste facility.
The technology most often used at con-
taminated ground water sites was "pump and
treat." This method pumps water out of the
ground through a series of wells, cleans it by
treating the contaminants, and either rein-
jects it back into the ground, discharges it
into surface water, or sends it to a municipal
water treatment plant.
These cleanup approaches may sound
simple; however, most Superfund sites con-
tain more than one type of chemical, and
often both water and soil resources are af-
fected. When this is the case, EPA may use
a combination of solutions including one or
more of:
1) containing the contaminants (surface
drainage control, soil capping, solidifi-
cation);
2) separating harmful chemicals from the
soil or water (soil vapor extraction, air
stripping, carbon adsorption, soil
flushing, thermal desorption); and/or
3) rendering the material less toxic
(bioremediation, incineration).
For example, in order to separate and
cleanse oily wastes from soil at a dump site in
Gray, Maine, a two-step aeration and heat-
ing process was used. This process involved
extracting contaminants from more than
12,000 cubic yards of soil and treating it on
site.
Streamlining the
Cleanup Process with
"Presumptive Remedies"
Superfund's experience with developing
and applying technologies gradually revealed
certain contamination and cleanup patterns.
As a result, EPA streamlined the cleanup
process in cases where contaminants are simi-
lar and cleanup technologies are proven, as
at municipal landfills and wood treatment
facilities. EPA calls these cost-efficient and
timesaving approaches "presumptive rem-
edies." By applying lessons learned at previ-
ous cleanups, the Agency can reduce costs
and save time while ensuring cleanup of
equal quality.
Development of Cutting Edge
Technologies
When EPA began full-scale cleanup of
Superfund sites in the early 1980s, there were
very few tested remedies and almost no infor-
mation on the performance of hazardous
waste cleanup. The Agency understood from
the beginning the importance of developing
new technologies that would reduce cleanup
costs and make them more effective. EPA is
now at the point where that investment is
paying off. Today over 350 innovative tech-
nology projects are completed, planned, or

• The "big three" cleanup
approaches used are:
• excavating and removing
hazardous soil and solid
waste (45% or 188 sites);
• covering the land with a
protective cap (39% or 161
sites); and
• pumping and treating
contaminated groundwater
(34% or 142 sites).
I'' Extracting toxic gas from the
ground (33 sites) and using
natural organisms to

underway at Superfund sites. Examples
of innovative technologies that EPA re-
cently added include: flushing chemicals
from soils while the soils remain in place;
heating soil to vaporize contaminants
and capture them; and introducing mi-
croorganisms, such as bacteria and fungi,
to break down hazardous chemicals into
less harmful substances.

Ready for Reuse
Reclaiming Our Land and Water
Beneficial Reuse is a
Team Effort
The actual reuse of a site is driven by
many factors—local business climate,
real estate and land prices, and natural
features. However, the most important
aspect is the early involvement of all
interested parties, namely local citizens,
municipal leaders, businesses, and state
officials. Throughout the cleanup pro-
cess, from site identification (discov-
ery) to construction completion, EPA
encourages open dialogue with the com-
munity to determine reuse opportuni-
ties.
Reuse can create many benefits that
productively impact local communities,
including new jobs, higher property
values, and better quality of life through
the preservation of open space and rec-
reational areas. In short, EPA remains
committed to cleaning up toxic hot spots
and making cleaned areas available,
where possible, for productive reuse by
local communities.

Construction Completion Sites
Returned to Productive Use
Contrary to the image of Superfund
sites as toxic and barren eyesores, many
construction completion sites can soon
can be used in some productive way.
The sites vary in use from commercial to
industrial activity, from retail to food
service, or even high-tech manufactur-
ing.
The Krysowaty Farm site in New Jer-
sey, once an illegal dumping area, is now
being used as a plant nursery. The Tronic
Plating Company site in New York, a
former electroplating facility, was con-
verted for warehouse storage and a fac-
tory for contact lenses.
Superfund sites are also being re-
stored to places where people can
live and play. One such site is
Chisman Creek, near Newport News,
Virginia, which reached construction
completion in December 1990. This
former fly ash disposal site is now a
community park with sports fields
and walking trails. Likewise, the
Petersen Sand and Gravel site in Illi-
nois, once a contaminated gravel pit,
is being used by watersports enthusi-
asts and picnickers.
Many sites are set aside as natural
areas. Imagine some of the most dan-
gerous hazardous waste sites in the
country transformed into places where
aquatic birds migrate and feed. That
is exactly what happened at the Bayou
Sorrel site in Louisiana, where the
cleanup of more than 36,000 cubic
yards of petrochemical waste restored a
productive wetland. Also, efforts at
the Woodbury Chemical Co. site in
Florida eliminated waterborne toxins
in a local canal that harmed manatees,
an endangered species.
