Ralston Site
Cedar Rapids, Iowa

STATEMENT OF BASIS AND PURPOSE

       The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has prepared this decision document
to present the selected remedial action for the Ralston site located in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. This
decision was chosen in accordance with the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), as amended by the Superfund Amendments and
Reauthorization Act (SARA), and to the extent practicable, the National Contingency Plan
(NCP). This decision is based on the Administrative Record for this site.  The Administrative
Record file is located in the following information repositories:

       Cedar Rapids Public Library              U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
       500 1st Street S.E.                       901 North 5th Street
       Cedar Rapids, Iowa                     Kansas City, Kansas

       The EPA has coordinated selection of this remedial action with the Iowa Department of
Natural Resources. The state of Iowa concurs with the selected remedy.

ASSESSMENT OF THE SITE

       The response action selection in the Record of Decision (ROD) is necessary to protect the
public health or welfare or the environment from actual or threatened releases of hazardous
substances into the environment.

DESCRIPTION OF THE SELECTED REMEDY

       The selected remedy prevents exposure to contaminated ground water, restores the
ground water to drinking water quality outside of the disposal area, and maintains site conditions
which prevent exposure to contaminated soil. The selected remedy includes the following
components:

                                          1

-------
       •      Monitored natural attenuation of ground water;
       •      Continued ownership of the fenced-in area, including the disposal area;
       •      Continued listing of the site on the Registry of Hazardous Waste or Hazardous
              Substance Disposal Sites pursuant to Iowa Administrative Code 455B.426;
       •      Continued designation of a protected ground water source area surrounding the
              site pursuant to Iowa Administrative Code 567-53.7(4558);
       •      Maintenance of the disposal area cap; and
       •      Maintenance of the Dry Run Creek bank stabilization.

       In order to accelerate the cleanup of the disposal area, a removal action was completed.  It
included capping of the former disposal area; stabilizing the bank of Dry Run Creek; installation
and operation of a dual vapor extraction and  treatment system, which resulted in the removal and
treatment of more than 4,800 pounds of volatile organic compounds; extraction and treatment of
shallow ground water north of Dry Run Creek; and implementation of institutional and
engineering controls.

       The selected remedy continues to prevent exposure to contaminated soil through
maintenance of the cap and creek bank stabilization and the implementation of institutional
controls. The selected remedy prevents exposure to contaminated ground water through
monitored natural attenuation continuing to decrease the concentrations of the contaminants and
controlling the withdrawal of ground water in the protected source area.

STATUTORY DETERMINATIONS

       The selected remedy is protective of human health and the environment, complies with
federal and state requirements that are applicable or relevant and appropriate to the remedial
action, is cost-effective, and utilizes permanent solutions and alternative treatment technologies
to the maximum extent possible.  Treatment of the ground water was not found to be practical;
therefore, this remedy does not satisfy the statutory preference for treatment as a principal
element of the remedy.

       Because this remedy will result in hazardous substances remaining on site above levels
that allow for unlimited use and unrestricted  exposure, a review will be conducted within five
years after initiation of remedial action to ensure that the remedy continues to provide adequate
protection of human health and the environment.

                               RECORD OF DECISION
                                DECISION SUMMARY
1.0    Site Name, Location, and Description

       This Record of Decision (ROD) has been developed by the United States Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) to select a remedial alternative at the Ralston site in Cedar Rapids,
Iowa (herein, the "Site").  The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and
Liability Information System (CERCLIS) identification number for the site is IAD980632491.
The EPA is the lead agency for enforcement of the activities taking place at the Ralston site and
Rockwell Collins Inc. (Rockwell) is the responsible party conducting the work at the site.

       The Ralston site is located north of 228 Blairs Ferry Road in northern Cedar Rapids,
Iowa. Access to the site is by way of a gravel road north of Blairs Ferry Road. A V/2 acre
portion of the site is referred to as the "source area" because this is where the disposal activities
occurred. Figure 1 is a map of the Ralston site, including the location of monitoring wells.

       From  about 1956 to 1958, the Ralston site was used by Rockwell as a disposal area for
wastes generated from a pilot gold-plating operation and other industrial sources. The amount of
solid and liquid wastes that were disposed at the site is not known; however, it has been
estimated that 60,000 gallons of liquid waste may have been disposed of during the years of
plating operation. The wastes were typically burned and spread in layers, as necessary, to
accommodate additional wastes. The types  of wastes disposed at the site by Rockwell included
solvents, paint sludge, and general industrial refuse, including scrap metal, office furniture, and
construction and demolition debris. The Ralston disposal site was not restricted solely for
Rockwell use and other local businesses or citizens likely disposed of other solid waste at the
site.

       In addition to the industrial-type wastes already mentioned, the Ralston site was also used
for the disposal of cyanide waste (salts of ferrocyanide compounds) from the plating operation.
The cyanide wastes were initially placed in 5-gallon containers. Two 5-gallon containers were
then placed in a 55-gallon drum and encapsulated in concrete. An undetermined number of
concrete-encapsulated cyanide drums were disposed at the site.

2.0    Site History and Enforcement Activities

       In December 1981, Rockwell submitted a Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) Section 103(c) notice to the EPA which listed
hazardous substances disposed at the Ralston site as solvents, paint sludge, and buried drums of
concrete-encapsulated cyanide. Rockwell estimated that 60, 000 gallons of liquid wastes were

-------
 generated and disposed of during the years of its plating operation, and an undetermined number
 of concrete-encapsulated cyanide drums were buried at the site.

       In May 1985, a contractor for the EPA conducted a preliminary assessment of the Ralston
 site. The assessment indicated that ground water and surface water contamination may have
 resulted from the previous disposal activities and a site inspection was recommended.

       In 1989, Rockwell removed and properly disposed of two drums of concrete-encapsulated
 cyanide.  No other drums were located.

       In November 1990, Rockwell conducted additional investigation at the site under the
 oversight of an EPA contractor.  Six trenches were excavated and shallow soil borings were
 installed  on a 50-foot by 50-foot grid system for the purpose of collecting soil samples for
 laboratory analyses of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and metals. The results of this
 investigation were reported in a document entitled "Report for Investigation of the Ralston Site,
 Blairs Ferry Road, January 1991."

       On December 4, 1991, Rockwell and the EPA, Region 7, entered into an Administrative
 Order on Consent to conduct a Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Study (RI/FS) at the
 Ralston site. The goal of the RI/FS was to investigate the extent of soil and ground water
 contamination at the site and to determine an appropriate remedy or remedies.

       In order to accelerate the cleanup of the disposal area and shallow ground water,  on
 January 22,1993, Rockwell and  the EPA entered into a second Administrative Order on Consent
 to conduct a Removal Site Evaluation, Engineering Evaluation/Cost Analysis  (EE/CA),  and a
 removal action. The removal action took place while work continued on the RI/FS.

       The removal actions implemented at the Ralston site included the following:

 •      Capping of the former disposal area;
       Stabilizing the bank of Dry  Run Creek to prevent erosion at the site;
       Installation and operation of a dual vapor extraction (DVE) and treatment system; and
       Extracting and treating alluvial (shallow) ground water located north of Dry Run Creek.

       Capping of the disposal area and stabilization of the creek bank were completed in
December 1995.  The DVE system began full-time operation in April 1995 and operated
periodically until June 1997, at which time it was determined that it was no longer effectively
removing more of the source contamination. More than 4,800 pounds of VOCs were removed
and treated with the DVE and treatment system.

       The RI Report and other documents in the Administrative Record file may be reviewed
for a more complete source of information regarding the history of the site.

-------
3.0    Community Participation

       Throughout the time that investigation and removal activities have taken place at the site,
numerous community involvement activities have occurred.  These include the distribution of
fact sheets, meetings with the public, and media interviews. The EE/C A was made available for
public comment in 1994, prior to the EPA making a final decision regarding the removal action.
A Community Relations Plan was prepared for the site in 1994 as well.

       The EPA issued a Proposed Plan for the Ralston site on June 15,1999.  A 30-day public
comment period occurred from July 1 to August 2,1999.  A public meeting was held on
July 6, 1999, at the Cedar Rapids Water Department in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, to present the
Proposed Plan and solicit comments from the public. Additionally, the EPA established an
Administrative Record which contains supportive documents for this decision.  The
Administrative Record is available for review during normal business hours at the following
locations:

       Cedar Rapids, Iowa                     Kansas City, Kansas

4.0    Scope and Role of Response Action

       During the RI, a removal action was conducted to accelerate the clean up of the soil and
shallow ground water in the vicinity of the disposal area.  All of the work associated with the
removal action was completed in 1997.

       The remedy selected in this ROD is the only remedial action planned for this site. This
remedial action includes components to ensure that steps taken during the removal action
continue to be protective. Specifically, measures are included to ensure that the disposal area cap
and creek bank stabilization are maintained and that institutional controls, which have been
initiated, remain in place.

5.0    Site Characteristics

       The Ralston site is located north of 228 Blairs Ferry Road in northern Cedar Rapids, Linn
County, Iowa.  The disposal area occupies 1V* acres and is enclosed with a fence.

       The topography of the disposal area is characterized by the steeply sloping banks of Dry
Run Creek to the north and a railroad embankment to the south. The removal actions discussed
previously have modified the general site topography by raising and leveling the disposal area.
A minimum of two feet of compacted clay and two feet of topsoil were placed as a cap over the
surface of the former disposal area to prevent precipitation infiltration. Terraces, drainage

-------
channels, and an access road were subsequently constructed on top of the cap to prevent cap
erosion and improve access.

       The topography of the southern creek bank of Dry Run Creek, which forms the northern
boundary of the disposal area, was also modified by removal actions implemented at the site.  A
total of 13,400 square feet of geomembrane liner and 17,840 square feet of cable-concrete mats
were placed on the creek bank to protect the site and clay cap from surface water erosion
associated with the creek. Cable-concrete mats were also placed under the creek crossing to
provide a resistant and stable surface upon which to cross the creek.

       The geology of the site vicinity generally consists of unconsolidated Quaternary-age
alluvial deposits overlying Devonian and Silurian carbonate bedrock. Unconsolidated deposits at
the site near Dry Run Creek consist of a thin layer of topsoil and clayey to sandy silt overlying
fine to medium sand.

       Three principal aquifers are present at the site:  1) the Quaternary alluvial aquifer; 2) the
Devonian aquifer; and 3) the Silurian aquifer.  The alluvial aquifer at the Ralston site is
approximately 10 feet to 15 feet thick and consists of ground water flow in the alluvial sands and
gravel near Dry Run Creek.  Under normal conditions, shallow ground water flow from the
disposal area is oriented primarily to the northeast toward the creek.  North of the disposal area,
shallow ground water flow is radially southward from upland areas toward the channel of Dry
Run Creek.

       At a depth below the ground surface of approximately 20 to 50 feet, Devonian-age
dolomite bedrock of the Otis and Bertram formations is encountered.  In the Devonian aquifer
the ground water flow is in both the northeast and southeast directions from the site.

       The Silurian-age Scotch Grove formation is encountered throughout the site vicinity at a
depth below the ground surface of approximately 110 to 140 feet.  Ground water flow in the
Silurian aquifer is predominantly horizontal with little or no component of vertical ground water
flow. The horizontal direction of ground  water flow is generally southward with some variation.

       Downward vertical gradients were measured between nested wells installed in the
alluvial, Devonian, and Silurian aquifers.  Near the creek channel, more pronounced vertical
solution weathering in the bedrock aquifers may indicate an area of increased downward
migration of contaminants.

       Several private and public water supply wells exist within two miles of the site. Six
private wells within one mile of the site have been sampled on a routine basis since RI activities
began. Available well construction information indicates most of these water-supply wells are
greater than 150 feet deep, cased through  the unconsolidated and upper bedrock deposits, and are
open to lower Devonian and/or Silurian rocks.  The city of Marion utilizes two wells which tap
the Silurian aquifer approximately one mile east of the Ralston site.

-------
       The RI for the Ralston site was conducted using a phased approach. Between 1992 and
 1996, five phases of investigation were conducted at the site. The results of the first two phases
 indicated that soil and ground water contamination existed above the bedrock surface in the
 disposal area, and shallow ground water contamination extended north of the site.  In order to
 accelerate remediation of the disposal area and shallow ground water, Rockwell agreed to
 perform the Removal Site Evaluation, EE/CA, and removal action mentioned previously, while
 continuing to investigate the extent of ground water contamination in the bedrock aquifer.
 Concurrent with the removal activities, the nature and extent of ground water contamination in
 the underlying Devonian and Silurian aquifers was characterized during RI Phases 3, 4, and 5.

       Soil and ground water contaminants detected at the site have been attributed to historical
 disposal of solvents and other wastes at the site.  The primary contaminants at the site which
 pose a threat  to ground water are chlorinated VOCs. The VOCs found at the site include
 trichloroethene (TCE) and its associated degradation products cis-l,2-dichloroethene (cis-1,2-
 DCE) and vinyl chloride. The VOCs are detected in three primary zones:  the alluvial shallow
 soil and ground water; the Devonian aquifer, and the Silurian aquifer. The highest
 concentrations of VOCs were historically detected in shallow ground water in the disposal area.
 Elevated concentrations have also been detected in the two bedrock water-bearing zones. The
 highest concentrations in the Devonian aquifer include TCE at 2200 micrograms per liter Cug/L),
 cis-l,2-DCE  at 4800 //g/L, and vinyl chloride at 2100 ^g/L. The highest concentrations in the
 Silurian aquifer have been detected in a low-permeability layer that is somewhat hydraulically
 isolated from other zones. Contaminants detected include cis-l,2-DCE at 73,200 //g/L and vinyl
 chloride at 9000 /wg/L. The VOCs in the Devonian and Silurian aquifers appear to extend
 approximately 800 to 1000 feet downgradient of the disposal area.  Periodic ground water
 monitoring has indicated very little variation of concentrations in the two bedrock zones and,
 accordingly, the plume is considered to be at steady-state. Ground water monitoring began in
 1992 and continued throughout the RI.

       During the course of the investigations at the site information was gathered to determine
the extent to which natural attenuation of contaminants was occurring. Natural attenuation refers
to naturally occurring processes in the environment that act to reduce the mass,  toxicity,
mobility, volume, or concentration of contaminants in various media.  These in situ processes
include biodegradation, dispersion, dilution, adsorption, volatilization, and chemical or
biological stabilization or destruction of contaminants.

       At the Ralston site, natural attenuation involves two main components:  (1) physical
attenuation processes consisting primarily of aquifer dilution, dispersion, and diffusion; and (2)
intrinsic bioremediation.  Intrinsic bioremediation is the process by which contaminants are
transformed from toxic to nontoxic by-products through biologically mediated reactions that
occur naturally in the ground water system. Whereas physical attenuation processes reduce the
contaminant concentrations and their overall toxicity in ground water, intrinsic bioremediation
includes biological and chemical processes that destroy contaminant mass in the aquifer. Loss of

-------
 contaminant mass will reduce the volume of contaminants present and result in overall plume
 shrinkage.

       Data from the Ralston site indicates that intrinsic bioremediation is occurring in the
 disposal area and areas downgradient in the alluvial, Devonian, and Silurian aquifers. Natural
 attenuation is sufficient to cause a stable or shrinking plume.  The data indicate that ground water
 conditions are sufficiently anaerobic for reductive dechlorination of the contaminants of concern
 to occur.  Electron acceptors (dissolved oxygen, nitrate, manganese, iron, sulfate, and methane)
 are depleted in areas of active biodegradation and other geochemical conditions are enriched
 (chloride and alkalinity.)  Data from the site indicates that much of the original TCE mass has
 been degraded to cis-l,2-DCE, vinyl chloride, and ethene along the ground water flow pathways,
 and these breakdown products, as well as inorganic chloride, form overlapping plumes in the
 aquifer. The evaluation of intrinsic bioremediation at the Ralston site is discussed fully in the FS
 Report, Appendix A, which is entitled "Evidence for Intrinsic Bioremediation at the Ralston
 Site."

       The high concentrations of VOCs that were found in the soil and ground water in the
 disposal area during the RI suggest that some contaminants may be present in that area as dense
 nonaqueous phase liquids (DNAPLs). A DNAPL is a chemical that is a liquid in its pure form
 that is heavier than water and does not readily mix with water, but does slowly dissolve in water.
 Residual DNAPL or elevated VOC concentrations adsorbed into site soil, or debris, are a
 continuing source for release of VOCs to ground water. Ground water which comes in contact
 with the waste materials in the disposal area is impacted by possible DNAPL contamination and
 various contaminants of concern.

       Elevated concentrations of some metals were found in samples taken from monitoring
 wells in the disposal area during the first phase of investigation. Ground water samples were not
 analyzed for metals during any subsequent phase of the investigation.

       Six privately owned water wells near the Ralston site have also been sampled
periodically.  Two of these private wells have exhibited detectable VOC concentrations. These
wells are no longer used as private drinking water supplies because the residences were
connected to a public water supply.  No VOCs have been detected in any other private drinking
water supply wells. Concentrations in the two private wells which did exhibit contamination
have remained constant or decreasing over time, further indicating that the ground water
contamination plume is stable  or decreasing.

       The residential wells were sampled for metals during the first phase of the investigation.
Metals concentrations were not found in these wells at levels which posed a threat to human
health.

-------
       A conceptual model of the site was developed to depict how contamination in the
 disposal area has potentially led to the exposure of several receptor populations.  This conceptual
 model is illustrated in Figure 2.

       During the course of the response actions taken to date at the Ralston site, institutional
 and engineering controls have also been implemented. Institutional controls are non-engineering
 methods intended to affect human activities in such a way as to prevent or reduce exposure to
 hazardous substances. Engineering controls are physical barriers to exposure.  The institutional
 and engineering controls are expected to reduce the potential for contamination affecting current
 or future receptors. These institutional and engineering controls greatly limit the excess risks
 that additional actions need to address. The institutional controls include the following:

 •      New wells  cannot be installed within a one-mile radius of the former disposal area
       without approval by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (IDNR);
       The disposal area and immediate vicinity were purchased by Rockwell; and
       The site has been listed on the State Abandoned or Uncontrolled Site Registry such that it
       cannot be sold or transferred without the approval of the IDNR.

 The following is an engineering control which has been implemented at the Ralston site:

       All private  residences with wells containing detectable levels of VOCs have been
       connected to a public water supply.

 6.0    Current and Potential Future Site and Resource Uses

       6.1     Land Uses

       The disposal area is fenced and will continue to be fenced.  It is accessible through a
 locked gate. Rockwell has stated that it will continue to own this property in the future and will
restrict access to the disposal area to those who have a need to monitor and maintain it.

       The area immediately surrounding the disposal area is zoned for agricultural use. There
 are commercial properties within 500 feet of the disposal area and residences within 1000 feet.  It
 is possible that there will be further commercial and residential development in areas outside of
the disposal area. The cities of Cedar Rapids and Marion, Iowa, are considering the future
development of a greenway that could pass outside of the disposal area.

       6.2     Surface Water Uses

       Surface water from the site flows north and discharges into Dry Run Creek.  Dry Run
Creek is an intermittent stream that flows into Indian  Creek about one-mile downstream and it in
turn flows into the Cedar River 111A miles downstream of the site.  Indian Creek and the Cedar
                                           10

-------
 River are primarily used for recreational (fishing) purposes and golf course irrigation. It is not
 anticipated that the uses will change.

        6.3     Ground Water Uses

        There are six private wells within one mile of the site but the two wells which have
 exhibited detectable levels of VOCs are no longer used for drinking water. The other private
 wells continue to be used for drinking water purposes. The city of Marion utilizes two wells
 which tap the Silurian aquifer and are located approximately one mile east of the site. It is
 anticipated that these ground water uses will not change in the future.

        Since a one mile area around the site has been designated as a protected source area
 pursuant to Iowa Administrative Code 567-53.7(4558), any changes to the use of ground water
 in that area must be approved by the state.

        It is the goal of the remedial action at this site to control exposure to, and prevent the
 spread of, contamination. Ground water monitoring will be used to ensure that the remedy is
 effective in addressing the contamination in the ground water.  The goal of the remedy is to
 restore the ground water to drinking water quality outside of the disposal area.

 7.0    Summary of Site Risks

       CERCLA requires the EPA to seek permanent solutions to protect human health and the
 environment from hazardous substances to the extent practicable.  These solutions provide for
 removal, treatment, or containment of dangerous chemicals so that any remaining contamination
 does not pose an unacceptable health risk to those who might come into contact with the
 contaminants.  Actual or threatened releases of hazardous substances from this site, if not
 addressed by implementing the response action selected in this ROD, may present a current or
 potential threat to public health, welfare, or the environment.

       7.1     Summary of Human Health Risk Assessment

       The baseline risk assessment estimates what risks the site poses if no action were taken.
 It provides the basis for taking action and identifies the contaminants and exposure pathways that
 need to be addressed by the remedial action. This section of the ROD summarizes the results of
 the baseline risk assessment for this site.

       The EPA prepared a baseline risk assessment using the data collected during the RI.
However, the report entitled Final Baseline Risk Assessment, dated October 21, 1994, was
completed before the removal actions and institutional controls were implemented  at the site.
The Final Baseline Risk Assessment report may be found in the Administrative Record file.
                                          11

-------
       In general, the EPA requires or undertakes remedial actions for Superfund sites when the
excess carcinogenic (cancer) risk exceeds 10"4. A risk of 10"4 represents an increase of one in ten
thousand, or 1/10,000, for a reasonable maximum exposure (RME). This risk represents the
lifetime risk of developing cancer as a result of releases from the site.

       Remedial actions may also be conducted at Superfund sites when the hazard index (HI)
equals or exceeds one for the RME scenario.  The HI is a numeric expression of the
noncarcinogenic risk to human health resulting from releases from the site.

              7.1.1  Identification of Chemicals of Concern

       Tables 3.2 through 3.10 (attached) present chemicals of potential concern (COPCs) and
exposure point concentrations for each of the COPCs detected in each of the media sampled at
the site. These tables come from the Final Baseline Risk Assessment. The tables include the
range of concentrations detected for each COPC, as well as the frequency of detection (i.e., the
number of times the chemical was detected in the samples collected), the exposure point
concentration, and the 95% Upper Confidence Limit on the arithmetic mean of the
concentrations.

       The COPCs were carried throughout the baseline risk calculations for this site; however,
the subset of these chemicals which drive the need to perform a remedial action are of primary
concern.  They are referred to as the chemicals of concern (COC). As stated previously, a
removal action was implemented after the baseline risk assessment was prepared. As a result of
these actions and the implementation of institutional and engineering controls, the only
contaminated media which continues to pose an unacceptable level of threat is ground water.
The only COCs which will be discussed further in the section are the COCs for ground water.

       The COCs in ground water include TCE and compounds commonly associated as TCE
degradation products. The TCE degradation products include cis-l,2-DCE and vinyl chloride.
Benzene and 1,1-dichloroethene are also COCs.

              7.1.2  Exposure Assessment

       The RME scenarios are developed using current exposure pathways given existing land
uses and also exposures which might reasonably be predicted based upon expected or logical
future land use assumptions. During preparation of the Final Baseline Risk Assessment for the
Ralston site there were three RME scenarios which were determined to be appropriate prior to
implementation of the removal action and the institutional and engineering controls.  The RME
scenarios and the exposure pathways for each of these scenarios are as follows:
                                          12

 Current land use for a 6- to 12-year-old trespasser
        Ingestion of contaminants in surface soil, sediment, and surface water
        Dermal absorption of contaminants in surface soil, sediment, and surface water
 •      Inhalation of contaminants in fugitive dust

 RME Scenario 2
 Current land use for an off site resident
 •      Inhalation of contaminants in fugitive dust
        Ground water ingestion
        Inhalation of vapors while showering

 RME Scenario 3
 Future land use for an on site resident
        Ingestion of contaminants in surface soil, sediment, surface water, and ground water
        Dermal absorption of contaminants in surface soil, sediments, and surface water
 •      Inhalation of contaminants in fugitive dust
 •      Inhalation of vapors while showering

        Due to the implementation of the removal actions and institutional and engineering
 controls, the only exposure pathways which are still considered viable are ingestion of ground
 water and inhalation of vapors during household use of the ground water for the resident.
 However, this is contingent upon continued maintenance of the cap, creek bank stabilization, and
 institutional controls. These are elements of all of the remedial alternatives except the no action
 alternative.  Should these elements of the remedy not remain in place, the risks posed by the site
 could include all of those identified in the Final Baseline Risk Assessment.

              7.1.3   Toxicity Assessment

       Benzene is a colorless volatile liquid which is soluble in water. Benzene is classified by
 the EPA as a Group A known human carcinogen. This classification is based on several
 epidemiological studies which demonstrate an increased incidence of non-lymphocytic leukemia
 from occupational exposure.

       1,1-Dichloroethene, as called vinylidene chloride or more commonly 1,1-DCE, is a
 colorless liquid that evaporates quickly at room temperature. It has a mild, sweet odor and is
 flammable.  1,1 -DCE is classified by the EPA as a Group C possible human carcinogen. 1,1-
 DCE has toxic effects on the lungs, liver, and kidneys.

       1,2-Dichloroethylene, also called 1,2-dichloroethene, 1,2-DCE, acetylene dichloride, or
dichloracetylene occurs as two isomers, cis and trans, with variations in physical properties and
toxicity between the two isomers.  1,2-DCE is commonly used  as a general solvent for organic
materials, dye extraction, lacquers, and organic synthesis. The cis-isomer is apparently the more

                                           13

-------
 common isomer formed as a result of biodegradation. 1,2-DCE has toxic effects by ingestion
 and skin contact and may be an irritant and cause narcotic effects in high concentrations,
 affecting the respiratory system, skin, eyes, and central nervous system.

       Trichloroethylene, also called trichloroethene, TCE, or ethanol trichloride, is a colorless
 nonflammable volatile liquid with a chloroform-like odor and is commonly used as a degreasing
 agent. TCE in high concentrations can have a narcotic effect and can damage the respiratory
 system, heart, liver, and kidneys. TCE is classified by the EPA as a Group B2 probable human
 carcinogen.

       Vinyl chloride, also called chloroethene, is a colorless gas with a mild, sweet odor. At
 this site its presence is probably due to the degradation of other chlorinated solvents. Vinyl
 chloride has toxic effects by ingestion and inhalation, affecting the liver, central nervous system,
 and peripheral circulation and nerves. Vinyl chloride is classified by the EPA as a Group A
 known human carcinogen.

       Tables 4.1 and 4.2 from the Final Baseline Risk Assessment, which are attached, list the
 toxicity values and potential noncarcinogenic effects and toxicity values and carcinogenic
 effects, respectively, for the COCs.

              7.1.4  Risk Characterization

       For carcinogens, risks are generally expressed as the incremental probability of an
 individual's developing cancer over a lifetime as a result of exposure to the carcinogen.  Excess
 lifetime cancer risk is calculated from the following equation:

 Risk=CDI x SF

where:        risk = a unitless probability (e.g., 2xlO'5) of an individual's developing cancer
              GDI = chronic daily intake averaged over 70 years (mg/kg-day)
              SF = slope factor, expressed as  (mg/kg-day)"1.

       These risks are probabilities that usually are expressed in scientific notation (e.g., 1x10'6).
An excess cancer risk of IxlO"6 indicates that an individual experiencing the reasonable
maximum exposure estimate has a 1 in 1,000,000 chance of developing cancer as a result of site-
related exposure.  This is referred to as an "excess lifetime cancer risk" because it would be in
addition to the risks of cancer individuals face from other causes such as smoking or exposure to
too much sun. The chance of an individual's developing cancer from all other causes has been
estimated to be as high as one in three. The EPA's generally acceptable risk range for site-
related exposures is 10'4 to 10'6.
                                           14

-------
        In the Final Baseline Risk Assessment excess cancer risk was calculated for each of the
 three RME scenarios described previously and are as follows:

                     Excess Cancer Risks for RME Scenarios

                     RME                      Cancer Risk

                     RME Scenario 2
                       Childhood (1-6 years)     3.47xlQ-7
                       Lifetime                 5.77 xlO'7

                     RME Scenario 3
                       Childhood (1-6 years)     2.18 x 10'2
                       Lifetime                 3,89 x 10'2

 RME Scenario 3, the future on site resident, presents an unacceptable level of cancer risk. This
 information is presented in greater detail in Tables 5.6 through 5.8  from the Final Baseline Risk
 Assessment (attached).

       The potential for noncarcinogenic effects is evaluated by comparing an exposure level
 over a specified time period (e.g., lifetime) with a reference dose (RfD) derived for a similar
 exposure period.  An RfD represents a level that an individual may be exposed to that is not
 expected to cause any deleterious effect. The ratio of exposure to toxicity is called a hazard
 quotient (HQ). An HQ less than one indicates  that a receptor's dose of a single contaminant is
 less than the RfD, and that toxic noncarcinogenic effects from that chemical are unlikely.  The
 Hazard Index (HI) is generated by adding the HQs for all COCs that affect the same target organ
 (e.g., liver) or that act through the same  mechanism of action within a medium or across all
 media to which a given individual may reasonably be exposed. An HI less than one indicates
 that, based on the sum of all HQs from different contaminants and exposure routes, toxic
 noncarcinogenic effects from all contaminants  are unlikely.  An HI greater than one indicates
 that site-related exposures may present a risk to human health.

       The HQ is calculated as follows:

 Non-cancer HQ = CDI/RfD

 where:        GDI = chronic daily intake
              RfD = reference dose.

GDI and RfD are expressed in the same units and represent the same exposure period (i.e.,
chronic, subchronic, or short-term).

                                           15

-------
       In the Final Baseline Risk Assessment noncarcinogenic risks were calculated for each of
the three RME scenarios described previously and are as follows:

                    Noncarcinogenic Risks for RME Scenarios

                    RME                        Health Index

                    RME Scenario 1                   0.04

                    RME Scenario 2
                       Childhood (1-6 years)            0.29
                       Lifetime                        0.19

                    RME Scenario 3
                       Childhood (1 -6 years)           87.3
                       Lifetime                      104

The Health Index for RME Scenario 3, the future on site resident, indicates that site-related
exposures may present a risk to human health.  This information is presented in greater detail in
Tables 5.1 through 5.5 from the Final Baseline Risk Assessment.

       7.2    Summary of Ecological Risk Assessment

       The Final Baseline Risk Assessment also includes a qualitative Ecological Risk
Assessment (ERA). This was prepared prior to implementation of the removal actions and
institutional controls. Although potential ecological risks to site vegetation, the terrestrial food
web, and the aquatic life of Dry Run Creek were identified, the uncertainties of any such risks
were very high due to the qualitative nature of the ERA. However, subsequent to the preparation
of the ERA, the removal actions that took place at the site, particularly capping of the former
disposal area and stabilization of the creek bank, have significantly reduced or eliminated any
threat to site vegetation, the terrestrial food web, or the aquatic life of Dry Run Creek.

8.0    Remediation Objectives

       Remedial Action Objectives (RAOs) provide a general description of what the clean up
will accomplish. The RAOs are most often general objectives such as: prevention of exposure to
contaminants; prevention of plume migration; restoration of the ground water to drinking water
quality, etc. These objectives are based on available information and standards such as
applicable or relevant and appropriate requirements (ARARs) of other environmental laws and
risk-based levels established in the risk assessment. The two contaminated media present at this
site include ground water and soil. RAOs are established for each.
                                           16

-------
       The RAOs for this action are to prevent exposure to ground water containing
contaminants that represent an unacceptable risk to human health or the environment; to contain
the contaminated ground water plume; to restore the ground water to drinking water quality
outside of the disposal area; and to maintain site conditions which prevent exposure to residual
soil contaminants that could pose an unacceptable risk to human health or the environment.

       The RAO which is protective of human health for ground water involves the prevention
of ingestion of or direct contact with ground water having a carcinogenic risk in excess of 10"4
and/or a hazard index for noncarcinogens greater than one.  The EPA's Maximum Contaminant
Levels (MCLs) from the Safe Drinking Water Act for public water supplies are identified as
ARARs for this site. MCLs represent levels which are considered safe for human consumption.
The ground water cleanup levels for actions involving treatment of ground water are equivalent
to the MCLs which may be associated with the release of VOCs at the site. The MCLs for each
of these VOCs are presented as follows.

                         EPA's Maximum Contaminant Levels
                                        in
                    Contaminant                      MCL
                    Benzene                             5
                    1,1-Dichloroethene                    7
                    cis-l,2-Dichloroethene              70
                    Trichloroethene                       5
                    Vinyl chloride                        2

Achieving MCLs in the disposal area may not be possible. It is likely that the contaminants are
present in this area as a DNAPL.

      The RAO which is protective of human health and the environment for soil involves the
prevention or minimization of direct contact exposures (inhalation, dermal contact, ingestion,
etc.) with soil having a carcinogenic risk in excess of 10"4 or a hazard index for noncarcinogens
greater than one. Specific soil cleanup criteria were not established for this site because the
removal action has eliminated exposure to soil which exceeds the threshold for carcinogenic or
noncarcinogenic risk.

9.0   Description of Alternatives

      A feasibility study was conducted to develop and evaluate remedial alternatives for the
site. Remedial alternatives were assembled from applicable remedial process options and were
initially evaluated for effectiveness, implementability, and cost. The alternatives meeting these
criteria were further evaluated and compared to the nine criteria required by the National
Contingency Plan (NCP). In addition to the remedial alternatives, the NCP requires that a no
action alternative be considered. The no action alternative serves primarily as a point of

                                           17

-------
  comparison for the other alternatives. Four alternatives in addition to the no action alternative
  are considered. Alternatives 3, 4, and 5 all involve ground water extraction and treatment but
  vary with the emphasis placed on different aquifer units or pumping strategies  All of the'
  alternatives, with the exception of the no action alternative, include institutional controls
  monitoring, and maintenance of the cap and creek bank. An explanation of the common'
  elements of the remedial alternatives follows.

  _       Each of the alternatives, except the no action alternative, includes maintaining the
  institutional controls which are already in place at the Ralston Site. These include-
         (1) continued ownership by Rockwell of the fenced-in  area, including the disposal area
  The area is zoned for agricultural use. The only access to the disposal area is through a locked
  gate, thus restricting access by trespassers;
         (2) continued listing of the site on the Registry of Hazardous Waste or Hazardous
  Substance Disposal Sites pursuant to Iowa Administrative Code 455B.426. According to Iowa
  Administrative Code 148.6(5), written approval of the  director of the IDNR is required prior to
  any substantial change in the use of the listed site. In addition, written approval is also required
  to sell, convey, or transfer title of the listed site; and
        (3) any new wells in an area specially designated around the site must be approved by
  state authorities. A one-mile area surrounding the site has been designated as a protected source
  area pursuant to Iowa Administrative Code 567-53.7(4556). According to the promulgated
 rule,  any new application for a permit to withdraw ground water or to increase an existing
 permitted withdrawal of ground water from within the protected water source area will be
 restncted or denied, if necessary, to preserve public health and  welfare or to minimize movement
 ot ground water contaminants from the Ralston site."

        All of the alternatives, except the no action alternative,  include monitored natural
 attenuation of the ground water. Previously in this ROD, in the Section entitled Site
 Characteristics, the process of natural attenuation was described as was the fact that  data
 collected at the site indicates that intrinsic bioremediation of the contaminants of concern is
 occurring in the disposal area and areas downgradient in the alluvial, Devonian, and Silurian
 aquifers. This information in presented in Appendix A  of the Feasibility Study Report The  data
 from the site also suggests that intrinsic biodegradation will occur at a predictable rate in the
 future and degrade TCE and associated breakdown products by fifty percent every one-half to
 two years. Also included in this remedial option is the collection of ground water samples from
 appropriate monitoring wells and private wells and the analysis of these water samples for VOCs
 as well as other constituents to determine the continued effectiveness of the bioremediation
 processes.

       For each of the alternatives that include ground water extraction and treatment  the
process would involve piping the extracted water to the existing treatment building through
underground piping. The water would be treated by air stripping with the off-gas from the air
stnpper being directed through the  existing catalytic oxidation unit for destruction of the VOC
                                           18

-------
 contaminants.  Treated water would then be conveyed through underground piping to Dry Run
 Creek for discharge.

        All of the alternatives, except the no action alternative, include maintenance of the cap
 and creek bank. The cap and creek bank would be visually inspected periodically to verify the
 integrity and performance of the materials. The cap and creek bank would be regularly
 maintained, including mowing, revegetation, and repair, to ensure long-term reliability.

 Alternative 1: No action

        The NCP requires that the EPA consider a no action alternative against which other
 remedial alternatives can be compared. Under this alternative, no further action would be taken
 to monitor, control, or remediate the soil or ground water contamination. The existing cap and
 bank stabilization would remain in place; however, no inspections or maintenance would take
 place to ensure their future effectiveness. Institutional controls have been implemented at the
 site, as discussed previously. However, compliance with these institutional controls would not
 be ensured under this no action alternative. Natural attenuation of the ground water
 contamination is occurring at the site.  Under the no action alternative, no monitoring would take
 place to determine that these natural attenuation processes continue to be effective in the future
 or to determine where the concentration of contaminants has effectively been reduced below
 health-based levels.  There are no  capital or operating costs associated with this alternative.

        The expected outcome of this alternative would be that natural attenuation of the ground
 water would continue for some period of time but the effectiveness would be undetermined. The
 cap and creek bank stabilization could be expected to fail in some locations resulting in the
 possibility of direct contact exposure with contaminants, infiltration of precipitation into the
 disposal area, and the movement of contaminants  into Dry Run Creek.

 Alternative 2:  Monitored natural attenuation with institutional controls, maintenance of
 the cap and creek bank stabilization

       With this alternative, the ground water would be allowed to remediate through natural
 attenuation processes. Monitoring of the ground water would be done periodically to confirm
 that these processes continue to be effective and to determine where the concentration of
 contaminants has been reduced below health-based levels outside of the disposal area. The
 institutional controls mentioned previously, which have already been implemented, would be
 maintained. The cap and creek bank would be inspected periodically to ensure the integrity and
 performance of the materials and they would be maintained to ensure long-term reliability. The
 estimated annual operation and maintenance costs of this alternative are $32,780 and the
 estimated present net worth is $566,800.

       The expected outcome of this alternative is that the concentration of contaminants in the
ground water will be reduced below health-based action levels in areas outside of the disposal

                                           19

-------
 area and there will be no consumption of contaminated ground water in the future. There will be
 no direct contact with contaminated soil that remains beneath the cap and no discharge of
 contaminated ground water or soil into Dry Run Creek via the stabilized creek bank.

 Alternative 3: Monitored natural attenuation with institutional controls, maintenance of
 the cap and creek bank stabilization, and Devonian aquifer ground water extraction near
 disposal area and treatment

       This alternative includes all of the components of Alternative 2 as well as pumping
 ground water from wells in the Devonian aquifer near the disposal area.  The extracted water
 would be treated by air stripping and the off-gas from the air stripper directed through the
 catalytic oxidizer in the existing treatment facility. Treated water would then be discharged in
 Dry Run Creek under the required permits.  The estimated capital cost for implementation of this
 alternative is $96,140.  The estimated annual operation and maintenance costs are $352,500 and
 the estimated present net worth is $6,192,000.

       The expected outcome of this alternative is that the contamination in the ground water
 will be reduced at about the same rate as Alternative 2. There will be no consumption of
 contaminated ground water in the future. There will be no direct contact with contaminated soil
 that remains beneath the cap and no discharge of contaminated ground water or soil into Dry Run
 Creek via the stabilized creek bank.

 Alternative 4:  Monitored natural attenuation with institutional controls, maintenance of
 the cap and creek bank stabilization, Devonian aquifer ground water extraction near
 disposal area and treatment, and Silurian aquifer ground water extraction near disposal
 area and treatment

       This alternative would include all of the components of Alternative 3 as well as pumping
ground water from the Silurian aquifer near the disposal area.  The extracted ground water would
be treated by air stripping and the off-gas from the air stripper directed through the catalytic
oxidizer in the existing treatment facility. Treated water would then be discharged in Dry Run
Creek under the required permits. The estimated capital cost for implementation of this
alternative is $223,600. The estimated annual operation and maintenance costs are $407,700 and
the estimated present net worth is $7,274,000.

       The expected outcome of this alternative is that the contamination in the ground water
will be reduced at a rate somewhat more rapidly than Alternative 2. There will be no
consumption of contaminated ground water in the future. There will be no direct contact with
contaminated soil that remains beneath the cap and no discharge of contaminated ground water
or soil into Dry Run Creek via the stabilized creek bank.
                                          20

-------
 Alternative 5: Monitored natural attenuation with institutional controls, maintenance of
 the cap and creek bank stabilization, Devonian aquifer and Silurian aquifer ground water
 extraction and treatment over entire area of VOC plume

        This alternative would include all of the components of Alternative 4 with the addition of
 ground water extraction wells in the Devonian and Silurian aquifers downgradient from the
 disposal area so that the entire plume of contaminated water could be captured.  The extracted
 ground water would be conveyed to the existing treatment building to be treated by air stripping.
 The treatment facility would have to be reconfigured and equipped for larger treatment capacity.
 Off-gas from the air stripping process would be directed through the existing catalytic oxidizing
 unit.  Treated water would then be discharged in Dry Run Creek under the required permits. The
 estimated capital cost for implementation of this alternative is $801,300. The estimated annual
 operation and maintenance costs are $492,800 and the estimated present net worth is $9,324,000.

        The expected outcome of this alternative is that the contamination in the ground water
 will be reduced at a faster rate than all other alternatives. There will be no consumption of
 contaminated ground water in the future. There will be no direct contact with contaminated soil
 that remains beneath the cap and no discharge of contaminated ground water or soil into Dry Run
 Creek via the stabilized creek bank.

 10.0    Summary of Comparative Analysis of Alternatives

       Nine criteria are used to evaluate the different remediation alternatives individually and
 against each other in order to select a remedy.  The nine evaluation criteria are (1) overall
 protection of human health and the environment; (2) compliance with applicable, relevant and
 appropriate requirements (ARARs); (3) long-term effectiveness and permanence; (4) reduction of
 toxicity, mobility, or volume of contaminants through treatment; (5) short-term effectiveness; (6)
 implementability; (7) cost; (8) state/support agency acceptance; and (9) community acceptance.
 This section of the ROD profiles the relative performance of each alternative against the nine
 criteria, noting how it compares to the other options under consideration. The nine evaluation
 criteria are discussed below.  The "Detailed Analysis of Alternatives" can be found in the FS
 Report.

       10.1   Overall Protection of Human Health and the Environment

       Overall protection of human health and the environment addresses whether each
 alternative provides adequate protection of human health and the environment and describes how
risks posed through each exposure pathway are eliminated, reduced, or controlled, through
institutional controls, engineering controls, and/or treatment.

       All of the alternatives, except the no action alternative, would provide adequate
protection of human health and the environment by eliminating, reducing or controlling risk by
one or more of the following:  through treatment, engineering controls, and institutional controls.
                                          21

-------
 The designation of a Protected Source Area will prevent unrestricted future use of ground water
 within a one mile radius of the site.  The ground water monitoring program that is to be
 implemented as a part of Alternatives 2 through 5 will ensure that exposure to ground water
 contaminants from the site will not occur that would represent an unacceptable human health or
 environmental risk because the migration of contamination will be detected. Alternatives 3, 4,
 and 5 are more protective than Alternative 2 since these alternatives include ground water
 extraction and  treatment designed to hydraulically control and capture contaminated ground
 water. The effectiveness of any such system cannot be predicted with certainty because the site
 area is a complex hydrogeologic setting. Alternative 5 would be the most protective because it
 includes downgradient pumping to ensure that contaminants do not migrate beyond the present
 area of contamination.

        Alternatives 2 through 5 include periodic inspection and maintenance of the cap and
 creek bank to ensure that there is no exposure to residual soil contamination in the future. These
 alternatives also include the continued listing of the site on the Registry of Hazardous Waste or
 Hazardous Substance Disposal Sites pursuant to Iowa Administrative  Code 455B.426.

        Because the no action alternative is not protective of human health and the environment,
 it was eliminated from consideration under the remaining eight criteria.

        10.2   Compliance with ARARs

        Section 121(d) of CERCLA requires that remedial actions at CERCLA sites at least attain
 legally applicable or relevant and appropriate federal and state requirements, standards, criteria,
 and limitations which are collectively referred to as "ARARs," unless  such ARARs are waived
 under CERCLA Section 121(d)4.

        Applicable requirements are those substantive environmental protection requirements,
 criteria, or limitations promulgated under federal or state law that specifically address hazardous
 substances, the remedial action to be implemented at the site, the location of the site, or other
 circumstances present at the site. Relevant and appropriate requirements are those substantive
 environmental protection requirements, criteria, or limitations promulgated under federal or state
 law which, while not applicable to the hazardous materials found at the site, the remedial action
 itself, the site location, or other circumstances at the site, nevertheless  address problems or
 situations sufficiently similar to those encountered at the site that their use is well suited to the
 site.

       Compliance with ARARs addresses whether a remedy will meet all of the applicable or
relevant and appropriate requirements of other federal and state  environmental statutes or
provides a basis for invoking a waiver.

       All alternatives, except the no action alternative, would comply with the MCLs
promulgated under the Safe Drinking Water Act for the contaminants of concern in areas found

                                          22

-------
 not to contain DNAPL.  It may not be possible to achieve the MCLs in DNAPL zones.  If such
 DNAPL zones are located, a technical impracticability waiver under CERCLA will be sought to
 waive MCLs as ARARs for these areas.

       The Protected Source Area, which has already been implemented in an area surrounding
 the site, is an ARAR for Alternatives 2 through 5.

       Construction of the ground water extraction system for Alternatives 3 through 5 would
 potentially have to comply with requirements of the Clean Water Act and state of Iowa statutes
 related to construction in flood plains. Operation of the ground water treatment system would
 require compliance with air emission standards. Discharge of treated ground water to surface
 water would require permitting in accordance with the National Pollution Discharge Elimination
 System requirements and other water quality effluent restrictions.

       Alternatives 2 through 5  would meet their respective ARARs from federal and state laws.
 Appendix B of the Feasibility Study Report provides a comprehensive listing of all ARARs.

       10.3   Long-term Effectiveness and Permanence

       Long-term effectiveness  and permanence refers to expected residual risk and the ability
 of a remedy to maintain reliable protection of human health and the environment over time, once
 cleanup levels have been met. This criterion includes the consideration of residual risk and the
 adequacy and reliability of controls.

       Alternatives 2 through 5  would be effective in the long-term by reducing contaminant
 concentrations in ground water.  Natural attenuation processes will continue to decrease the
 concentrations of contaminants in the aquifers, eventually transforming them to non-toxic by-
 products through intrinsic bioremediation. Evidence suggests that natural attenuation processes
 have resulted in a steady-state contaminant plume at the Ralston site and have reduced the
 contaminant mass loading to the aquifers by  reductively dechlorinating VOCs to non-toxic by-
 products.  This evidence is presented in detail in Appendix A of the Feasibility Study Report.
 The monitoring program included in all of the alternatives is needed to document the degree to
 which natural attenuation is occurring and to identify whether ground water flow directions,
 gradients, or plume boundaries have changed.

       Alternatives 3, 4, and 5 include ground water extraction and treatment to further reduce
 contaminant residuals. One concern with these alternatives is that the potential impact of ground
water extraction on natural biodegradation processes occurring in the aquifers is not known.
 There is evidence to suggest that ground water extraction may have a negative effect on
biodegradation processes.  Both  the ground water extraction and treatment systems would require
on-going maintenance to prevent operational problems and to continue their effectiveness.
                                           23

-------
       Alternatives 2 through 5 include periodic inspection and maintenance of the cap and
creek bank to ensure that there is no exposure to residual soil contamination in the future.

       The Protected Source Area designation would be an adequate and reliable control for
preventing future withdrawal of, and exposure to, ground water in the future but it does not
prevent current ground water users within the one-mile radius from exposure. The two
residences near the site with private drinking water wells which exhibited detectable levels of
VOCs were connected to a public water supply.  These wells are no longer used for drinking
water by the residents. Alternatives 2 through 5 include a ground water monitoring program to
ensure that existing private wells near the site are not impacted by site contamination.

       Reviews at least every five years,  as required, would be necessary to evaluate the
effectiveness of all of these alternatives because hazardous substances would remain on site in
concentrations above health-based levels.

       10.4   Reduction of Toxicity, Mobility, or Volume of Contaminants Through
              Treatment

       Reduction of toxicity, mobility, or volume through treatment refers to the anticipated
performance of the treatment technologies that may be included as part of a remedy.

       Alternatives 2 through 5 include natural attenuation to reduce the toxicity of
contaminants in the aquifers. Intrinsic biodegradation of the contaminants is reducing the
toxicity of site contaminants by completely and irreversibly transforming the chlorinated VOCs
from TCE, DCE, and vinyl chloride to non-toxic by-products through reductive dechlorination
processes. Alternatives 3, 4, and 5 would remove contaminants from ground water by air
stripping and irreversibly destroy the contaminants through the process of catalytic oxidation.

       Ground water monitoring would provide information on the movement of contaminants
in ground water but would not directly affect the mobility of the contaminants.  Ground water
extraction associated with Alternative 3,4, and 5 would reduce contaminant mobility by creating
a hydraulic barrier around various areas of contamination. Alternative 3 would reduce
contaminant mobility in the Devonian aquifer near the disposal area, Alternative 4 would reduce
mobility in the Devonian and Silurian aquifers near the disposal area, and Alternative 5 would
reduce contaminant mobility throughout the entire plume.

      The mass of contaminants present in the  aquifers would be reduced by Alternatives 2
through 5. Based on data collected at the site, it is predicted that for every 1,000 pounds of
contaminants entering the aquifers, 500 pounds would be removed during the first six months to
two years by natural attenuation. Another 250 pounds of contaminants would be destroyed
during the next six months to two years and so on, through natural attenuation. Although natural
attenuation is a component of Alternatives 3, 4, and 5, with each additional layer of pumping
added, contaminant removal by naturally  occurring processes would become less prominent

                                          24

-------
 compared to the removal rates attained by pumping. Based on estimated extraction rates for
 Alternatives 3,4, and 5, contaminant mass could be removed from the Devonian and Silurian
 aquifers at the following rates associated with each alternative:

          Alternative        Total Extraction Rate       Time to Remove 1,000 Ibs.

        The biodegradation process results in complete transformation of chlorinated VOCs to
 non-toxic residuals, primarily ethene and ethane. These residuals are then readily biodegraded to
 carbon dioxide and water. Ground water extraction and treatment would remove contaminants
 from ground water by air stripping and irreversibly destroy the contaminants through the process
 of catalytic oxidation.

        Based upon the information presented above, a comparison may be made between the
 amount of time it would take to remove an equal amount of the contaminants found in ground
 water given the use of natural attenuation alone and the alternatives which include pumping and
 treating ground water. Natural attenuation is estimated to remove the contaminants from the
 ground water at a rate ranging from about equal to the rate for the least aggressive pump and treat
 alternative (Alternative 3) to as long as four times the amount of time needed for the most
 aggressive pumping and treating alternative (Alternative 5).

        10.5   Short-Term Effectiveness

       Short-term effectiveness addresses the period of time needed to implement the remedy
 and any adverse impacts that may be posed to workers and the community during construction
 and operation of the remedy until cleanup goals are achieved.

       In general, the alternatives with the fewest construction activities will pose the lowest risk
 to site workers and the community during the remedial  action.  Therefore, Alternative 2 would
 pose the least risk. Since no one is currently exposed to contaminated ground water, only
 workers collecting samples from monitoring wells could be exposed to contaminants and this
 could be minimized by proper use of personal protective equipment.  Cap and bank repair could
result in exposure to contamination by workers, but once again could be minimized by proper use
of health and safety measures and personal protective equipment. Alternatives 3,4, and 5 also
have the possibility of the risks described for Alternative 2,  but may have greater risks to workers
posed by well drilling, trenching, and construction.

       Maintenance or repair of the creek bank would utilize soil erosion and sediment control
technologies to protect the surface water in Dry Run Creek.  Alternatives 3, 4, and 5 would
                                          25

-------
involve discharge of treated ground water to Dry Run Creek. This would have to be monitored
to ensure that the discharge does not increase the erosion of the channel at the point of entry.
Construction of piping near Dry Run Creek would have to be completed in a manner that does
not damage the creek.

       Air emissions from the ground water treatment processes in Alternatives 3 through 5
would be addressed by engineering controls to ensure that the emissions meet applicable federal
or state air emissions standards, mitigating any adverse on or off site impacts.

       10.6   Implementability

       Implementability addresses the technical and administrative feasibility of a remedy from
design through construction and operation. Factors such as availability of services and materials,
administrative feasibility, and coordination with other governmental entities are also considered.

       Alternatives 2 through 5 are technically implementable. Ground water monitoring and
sampling equipment and procedures are well developed and available.  Maintenance of the cap
and bank stabilization would be easily achieved. Ground water extraction and treatment,
included in Alternatives 3 through 5, would be technically feasible to implement. However, the
complex hydrogeologic conditions and high concentrations of contaminants in low permeability
zones could significantly reduce the assumed benefits of ground water extraction. A treatment
system has already been constructed on site, but it would require major modifications to treat the
high water flow rates associated with Alternative 5.

       All of the alternatives have few associated administrative difficulties.

       10.7   Cost

       Cost includes estimated capital and operation and maintenance costs as well as present
worth costs. Present worth cost is the total cost of an alternative over time in terms of today's
dollar value. Cost estimates are expected to be accurate within a range of+50 to -30 percent.

       The estimated costs associated with Alternatives  1 through 5 are summarized in Table 2.
The present net worth costs were calculated using an assumed life of 30 years and a three percent
discount rate. Alternatives 2 through 5 all involve the same operation and maintenance costs
associated with maintaining the cap and creek bank stabilization.  Alternatives 3 through 5 are
considerably more costly than Alternative 2 because of the significant capital and operation and
maintenance costs associated with the installation and maintenance of a ground water pump and
treat system.
                                           26

-------
       10.8   State/Support Agency Acceptance

       The EDNR has actively participated in the oversight activities for the Ralston site,
including review of the RI and FS Reports. The IDNR has expressed its support for Alternative
2.

       10.9   Community Acceptance

       During the public comment period, the community expressed its support for the EPA's
preferred alternative. One written comment was received which clarified Rockwell's plans for
future ownership of the property in the vicinity of the disposal area.

11.0   Principal Threat Wastes

       The NCP establishes an expectation that the EPA will use treatment to address the
principal threats posed by a site wherever practicable (NCP §300.430(a)(l)(iii)(A)). In general,
principal threat wastes are  those source materials considered to be highly toxic or highly mobile
which generally cannot be contained in a reliable manner or would present a significant risk to
human health or the environment should exposure occur.

       The contamination remaining in the subsurface soil in the disposal area could be
considered a principal threat waste. The completed removal actions utilized the process of dual
vapor extraction to remove as much of the contamination as possible.  The cap that was
constructed over the disposal area eliminates the possibility that exposure to these contaminants
will occur through direct contact and minimizes mobilization of the contamination by reducing
the infiltration of precipitation. All of the alternatives considered for this site, with the exception
of the no action alternation, include the continued maintenance of the disposal area cap.

       There is the possibility that contaminants exist in the ground water as DNAPLs, which
may also be considered principal  threat wastes. None of the alternatives include actions
specifically designed to address this possible contamination as the locations of areas of DNAPL
have not been identified with any certainty.

12.0   Selected Remedy

       The Preferred Alternative for cleaning up the Ralston Site is Alternative 2. Alternative 2
provides for monitored natural attenuation of ground water with institutional controls arid
maintenance of the cap and creek bank stabilization.

       As has been discussed in earlier sections of this ROD, data has been gathered and
analyzed which indicates that intrinsic bioremediation of the contaminants of concern is
occurring at this site in the disposal area and in areas downgradient in the alluvial, Devonian, and
Silurian aquifers.  This information is presented in Appendix A of the Feasibility Study Report.

                                           27

-------
 Monitoring of the ground water would be done periodically to confirm that the natural
 attenuation processes continue to be effective and to determine where the concentration of
 contaminants has been reduced below health-based cleanup levels outside of the disposal area.
 The appropriate locations for monitoring the ground water in all three aquifers will be selected
 based on ground water monitoring data which continues to be collected at the site and will be
 modified as required in the future. Modifications will likely be required as the contaminated
 ground water plume changes.

        The health-based action levels for the ground water at this site are based upon the MCLs
 from the Safe Drinking Water Act for public water supplies, which was identified as an ARAR
 for this site.  The action levels for each of the chemicals of concern are as follows:

                            Ground Water Action Levels
                                      in//g/L

                     Contaminant                      MCL
                     Benzene                             5
                     1,1 -Dichloroethene                   7
                     cis-l,2-Dichloroethene              70
                     Trichloroethene                      5
                     Vinyl chloride                       2

 Achieving MCLs in the disposal area may not be possible. It is likely that the contaminants are
 present in this area as a DNAPL. In the future, if it is determined that MCLs cannot be achieved
 in the disposal area, it may be appropriate to consider a technical impracticability waiver. A
 technical impracticability waiver may be used when compliance with an ARAR is not feasible
 from an engineering standpoint or because of excessive cost, particularly in relation to
 performance.

       Several institutional controls, which have already been implemented, will be maintained
 at the site. Currently, Rockwell owns 27.93 acres, including the former disposal area. The
 disposal area is fenced.  Rockwell has stated its intention to retain ownership of the property
 within the fence, at a minimum. The fence will remain and be maintained to restrict access.

       The site will continue to be listed on the Registry of Hazardous Waste or Hazardous
 Substance Disposal Sites pursuant to Iowa Administrative Code 455B.426. According to Iowa
 Administrative Code 148.6(5), written approval of the director of the IDNR is required prior to
 any substantial change in the use of the listed site. In addition, written approval is also required
 to sell, convey, or transfer title of the listed site.

       A one-mile area surrounding the site has been designated as a protected  source area
pursuant to Iowa Administrative Code 567~53.7(455B).  Therefore, any new wells in the
designated area must be  approved by state authorities. According to the promulgated rule, "any

                                          28

-------
 new application for a permit to withdraw ground water or to increase an existing permitted
 withdrawal of ground water from within the protected water source area will be restricted or
 denied, if necessary, to preserve public health and welfare or to minimize movement of ground
 water contaminants from the Ralston site."

       The cap and creek bank stabilization, which were implemented during the removal action,
 will continue to be inspected periodically and maintained. Specific plans for the inspections and'
 maintenance will be developed. They will include the schedule for inspections, plans for
 mowing and revegetation, and other items determined necessary to ensure the long-term
 reliability of these structures.

       Additional ground water sampling will be done to determine whether the elevated levels
 of metals found in the disposal area continue to exist and to determine whether they have
 migrated beyond the disposal area and pose an unacceptable level of risk to human health. A
 plan for the appropriate monitoring wells to be sampled will be developed. The metals which
 will be analyzed include all of those which were originally included  in the RI.  If it is determined
 by the EPA that there are concentrations of these analytes which pose an unacceptable level of
 risk to human health, it may be necessary to modify this remedial action in the future to address
 this risk.

       Tables 2 and 3 provide details of a cost estimate for implementation of the preferred
 remedy. There are no capital expenditures planned  for this remedy. The discount rate used in
 calculation of the present net worth costs is three percent. The information in this cost estimate
 summary table is based on the best available information regarding the anticipated scope of the
 remedial alternative.  This is an order-of-magnitude engineering cost estimate that is expected to
 be within +50 to -30 percent of the actual project cost.

       The expected outcome of this alternative is that the concentration of contaminants in the
 ground water will be reduced below health-based action levels in areas outside of the disposal
 area and there will be no consumption of contaminated ground water in the future. There will be
 no direct contact with contaminated soil that remains beneath the cap and no discharge of
 contaminated ground water or soil into Dry Run Creek via the stabilized creek bank.

       The Preferred Alternative was selected over other alternatives because it is expected to
achieve substantial reduction of the risks posed by contaminated ground water and maintains the
measures already in place to prevent future exposure to currently contaminated ground water and
soil at a substantially lower cost than the other alternatives.  Although the time frame for
reducing the risks may be longer for the preferred alternative, the expected time frame is not
unreasonably long. Therefore, the Preferred Alternative is believed to provide the best balance
of trade-offs among alternatives, with respect to the evaluation criteria.

-------
 13.0  Statutory Determinations

       Under its legal authority, the EPA's primary responsibility at Superfund sites is to ensure
 that remedial actions achieve adequate protection of human health and the environment.  In
 addition, Section 121 of CERCLA establishes several other statutory requirements and
 preferences. These specify that when complete, the selected remedial action for this site must
 comply with applicable or relevant and appropriate environmental standards established under
 federal and state environmental laws, unless a statutory waiver is justified.  The selected remedy
 also must be cost effective and utilize permanent solutions and alternative treatment technologies
 or resource recovery technologies to the maximum extent practicable.  Finally, the statute
 includes a preference for remedies that employ treatment that permanently and significantly
 reduce the volume, toxicity, and mobility of hazardous wastes as their principal element. The
 following sections discuss how the selected remedy meets these statutory requirements.

       13.1   Protection of Human Health and the Environment

       The selected remedy will protect human health and the environment by achieving the
 remedial action objectives established for the site. Levels of contaminants in the ground water
 will be reduced to levels considered by the EPA to be safe for human consumption.  In the short-
 term, protection is provided by ground water use restrictions which will prevent exposures to the
 contaminated ground water.

       13.2  Compliance With ARARs

       The selected remedy is expected to comply with ARARs. The MCLs established under
 the Safe Drinking Water Act are considered relevant and appropriate for the monitored natural
 attenuation component of the remedy for the chemicals of concern. However, if DNAPL zones
 are located at the site, a waiver of ARARs may be sought based on the technical impracticability
 of achieving MCLs in DNAPL zones. Chapter 133 of the Iowa Administrative Code contains
 "action levels" for contaminants in ground water. The IDNR has acknowledged that cleanup
 actions have been implemented at the Ralston site that constitute compliance with this state
 ARAR.

       There are two location-specific ARARs in place at the Ralston site.  The site is on the
Registry pursuant to Iowa Administrative Code 567-148(455B). The site cannot be sold,
 conveyed, or transferred without written approval of the IDNR.  The Protected Source Area
 designation pursuant to Iowa Administrative Code 567—53.7(4556) will require the IDNR to
 evaluate all proposed new or increased uses of ground water from wells within a one-mile radius
of the Ralston site.

       Requirements of the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) will be complied with;
however, OSHA requirements are not ARARs because OSHA is not an "environmental" law.
                                          30

-------
       13.3   Cost Effectiveness

       The EPA believes that the selected remedy is cost effective because it will provide overall
 effectiveness proportional to its costs. The selected remedy is the least costly of the alternatives
 considered for this site.

       13.4   Utilization of Permanent Solutions and Alternative Treatment Technology to
              the Maximum Extent Practicable

       The selected remedy represents the maximum extent to which permanent solutions and
 treatment can be utilized in  a cost-effective manner at this site. Of the alternatives that are
 protective of human health and the environment and comply with ARARs, the EPA has
 determined that the selected remedy provides the best balance of trade-offs in terms of long-term
 effectiveness, reduction of toxicity, mobility, or volume achieved through treatment, short-term
 effectiveness, implementability, and cost. Additional considerations include the statutory
 preference for treatment as a principal element as well as state and community aceptance.

       All of the alternatives which met the threshold criteria provided long-term effectiveness.
 Since the selected remedy does not include treatment, long-term effectiveness is achieved
 through monitoring of the ground water. Treatment was found to be impracticable due to
 significantly higher costs because it did not provide significantly more protection.  Short-term
 effectiveness was not a major concern with any of the alternatives considered. While all of the
 alternatives which included  extraction and treatment of ground water were implementable, it was
 not certain to what degree the complex hydrogeologic conditions at the site would negatively
 impact implementation of this technology.

       13.5  Preference for Treatment as a Principal Element

       The selected remedy at this site does not meet the preference for treatment as a principal
 element.  Treatment was found to be impracticable as it did not provide significantly more
 protection for the significantly higher costs. A ground water monitoring program is included  to
 monitor contaminant levels over time and confirm the adequacy of natural attenuation to reduce
 contaminant levels.

       13.6  Five-Year Review Requirements

       If there are hazardous substances, pollutants, or contaminants remaining at a site above
 levels that would allow for unlimited use and unrestricted exposure, pursuant to Section 121(c)
of CERCLA and NCP §300.430(f)(5)(iii)(C), the EPA shall conduct a review of such remedial
action no less often than each five years after the initiation of the remedial action to assure that
human health and the environment are being  protected. The Ralston site will require a statutory
five-year review.
                                          31

14.0   Documentation of Significant Changes

       The Proposed Plan for the Ralston site was released for public comment in July 1999.
The Proposed Plan identified Alternative 2, monitored natural attenuation, maintenance of cap
and creek bank stabilization, and institutional controls, as the preferred alternative. The EPA
reviewed the written comment submitted during the public comment period.  It was determined
that no significant changes to the remedy, as originally identified in the Proposed Plan, were
necessary or appropriate.

                                  Cedar Rapids, Iowa
       The public comment period on the Preferred Alternative began on July 1, 1999, and
ended on August 2, 1999. A public hearing was held in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, on July 6,1999,
with several members of the public in attendance. No comments were received at this meeting
regarding the Preferred Alternative.

       One written comment was received during the public comment period. The written
comment was from Rockwell Collins, Inc. regarding clarification of their plans for property
ownership in the area near the disposal area. The Record of Decision includes the information
provided by Rockwell that they will continue to own the fenced-in area, including the disposal
area.
       The written comment is included in the Administrative Record file.
