 INTRODUCTION


 The  purpose  of  the  National  Network for Environmental Management
 Studies" (NNEMS)  project question #1302 focused on estimating the
 volatile  organic"compound  (VOC)  emissions from Superfund sites in
 the  Houston-Galveston-Brazoria Consolidated Metropolitan
 Statistical  Area (CMSA)  and  the Beaumont-Port Arthur_Metropolitan
 Statistical  Area (MSA).  Research of available data  in the
 Environmental  Protection Agency Region VI files extended over a
 three month  time period.  The intention of the NNEMS project was
 to estimate  a  tons  per year  VOC emission rate based  upon
 activities at  the sites for  the years 1987 to 1990.  All the data
 and  information presented  in this paper on VOC emissions from
 Suoerfund sites were obtained from publicly available sources.
 An" understanding of the Clean Air Act and the Comprehensive
 Environmental  Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980
 (CERCLA)  exposes the need  for determining the VOC emissions from
 Superfund sites.  There is a recognizable void for information
 available in this area of  study.


 The original Clean Air Act  (CAA) was passed in 1970  with the
 objective being to protect and enhance the quality of the
 nation's air resources.  Modifications to the Act have created
 air pollution  control programs such as the National  Ambient Air
 Quality Standards  (NAAQS), National Emission Standards for
 Hazardous Air  Pollutants  (NESHAPs) and New Source Performance
 Standards (NSPS) which achieve the objective by  regulating
 emissions into the air.  Regulations may be implemented through
 combined Federal, State and  local programs.  The National Ambient
 Air Quality Standards are national limitations on ambient
 concentrations intended to protect public health or  welfare.  A
 timetable was establish by  the Amendments of 1977 for the
 standards of the following  six criteria pollutants:

 TABLE I.  CRITERIA POLLUTANTS

-------
National Ambient Air Quality Standards are translated by States
into source-specific emission limitations through State
Implementation Plans (SIPs).  The Clean Air Act requires each
state to adopt and submit to the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) for approval a SIP for implementing and enforcing NAAQS.
Upon EPA approval, the SIP becomes federally enforceable.
Requirements of the SIP are potential regulations affecting
Superfund sites.


Of the pollutants for which there are NAAQS, ozone has been one
the most difficult to control.  in large part, this difficulty is
because ozone is not emitted directly from any particular class
of sources.  Instead, it builds up in the ambient atmosphere from
a complex series of reactions involving VOCs and nitrogen oxides
in the presence of sunlight.  Thus, the most common means of
controlling ozone is to reduce the volatile organic compounds
that serve as its precursor.


Under the Clean Air Act, areas are divided in attainment and
nonattainment with regard to the NAAQS.  Attainment areas are
those regions of the country that are designated as being in
compliance with the NAAQS for criteria pollutants.  Nonattainment
areas are those parts of the country where compliance has not
been attained for one or several criteria pollutants.


The ozone standard and control strategies to reduce ozone are
considered on a county-wide basis.  In Texas, Harris County was
designated as a nonattainment area for ozone in 1978.  As a
result of the Clean Air Act requirements for nonattainment areas,
the State of Texas developed a State Implementation Plan (SIP)  to
delineate its means of controlling VOC emissions, and thus,
ozone.  In 1987, ozone nonattainment areas were expanded to the
entire Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) since the precursors
to ozone that cause a violation in one county can be emitted from
industry and vehicles from an adjoining county.  The Post-1987
SIP call consolidated several nonattainment areas to form the
Harris-Galveston-Brazoria CMSA which includes the following eight
counties:  Brazoria, Chambers, Fort Bend, Galveston, Harris,
Liberty, and Montgomery.  The other nonattainment area looked at
in this report is the Beaumont-Port Arthur MSA which includes
Hardin, Jefferson, and Orange Counties.  With the development nd
implementation of the SIP, emissions of VOCs have been reduced
dramatically in Harris County and on the Gulf Coast; however, the
ozone problem has remained about the same.

-------
The concept of "Superfund" is a result of the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of  1980
(CERCLA).   The objectives of CERCLA consist of:

     1)    setting priorities for cleaning up hazardous waste
          si tes,

     2)    making responsible parties pay for the cleanups,

     3)    setting up a $1.6 billion hazardous waste  trust
          fund/Super fund  for situations where responsible  parties
          could not be held accountable or emergencies,  and

     4)    advancing scientific and technological capabilities
          for hazardous waste management, treatment, and
          disposal.


Superfund was to be financially supported by taxes on crude  oil
and 42 different commercial chemicals.  In 1986, Congress  amended
CERCLA through  the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization  Act
 (SARA), which allocated $8.5 billion  for Superfund during  the
years 1986  to 1991.  Tn addition,  improvements  to  the program
were made in  the areas of removal  actions, remedial  actions,
enforcement authority, state involvement, emergency  planning,
 research, development, training and citizen rights.


 In  that same  time period, Congress also enact  the  Resource
Conservation  and Recovery Act  (RCRA)  to regulate hazardous waste
disposal.   The  relationship between Superfund  and  RCRA  is  based
 on  the  idea  that Superfund was  established to  clean  up  mistakes
 of  the  past  and cope with emergencies  while RCRA was established
 to  set  guidelines  for  hazardous waste  management and disposal  for
 the present  and  future.   Thus,  the intention  was  that  RCRA
 eventually  would eliminate the  need  for a Superfund  program.


 Despite  the  intention,  the need  for  new  technology for  addressing
 contamination at Superfund sites  continues.   Technology for
 cleaning  up Superfund  sites  is  moving  away  from the  landfill or
 surface impoundment  alternative.   Other disposal  means  considered
 include destroying,  immobilizing  or  separating waste.   Waste
 destruction technology eliminates a  majority  of the  waste,
 although  the residues  must still  be  disposed  of properly.
 Thermal treatment  and  neutralization  are  two  alternatives  for
 waste destruction.   Waste immobilization  technology  involves the
 process of  fixation  or solidification of  the  waste.   This  is
 beneficial  for  two reasons:  1)  the waste  is  easier to handle,  and
 2)  the  waste is less likely to enter  the  surrounding environment.
 Alternatives for  waste separation technology  are  air stripping,
 steam stripping,  carbon adsorption,  precipitation, soil washing

-------
and  flushing.   These  processes  involve  either  separating one
hazardous  waste from  another  or  separating  hazardous waste from
non-hazardous material  that has  been  contaminated.   By using
separation,  recycling becomes an alternative.   Whatever the case,
action must  be  taken  to  identify what treatment will be
acceptable for  managing  the contaminated  material.   Implementing
treatment_technology  can cause  releases of  VOCs from certain
sites, which can  impact  the ambient ozone concentrations in the
surrounding  area.


Estimating the  emissions of VOCs from certain  Superfund sites  is
the basis  for this paper.  The original scope  of  the NNEMS
question #1302  encompassed the estimation of VOC  emissions from
Superfund sites in the Houston-Galveston  area.   Given that VOC
emissions are a precursor to ozone build-up and may  have a wide-
ranging impact, the area researched for this paper expanded
beyond the Houston-Galveston area to encompass  Superfund sites  in
following counties also: Hardin,  Liberty, Montgomery,  Orange and
Waller Counties.  The following  Superfund sites are  located in
this expanded area and were researched for  relevance to the
project:

     Bailey Waste Disposal (Orange Co.)
     Brio Refining, Inc. (Harris Co.)
     Crystal  Chemical Co. (Harris Co.)
     Dixie Oil  Processors (Harris Co.)
     French Limited (Harris Co.)
     Geneva  Industries  (Harris Co.)
     Harris/Farley Street (Harris Co/) -  Delisted
     Highlands Acid Pits (Harris Co.)
     Industrial Transformers (Harris Co.)
     Motco,  Inc./Texas City Wye  (Galveston Co.)
     North Cavalcade  Street (Harris Co.)
     Petro-Chemical Systems, Inc./Turtle  Bayou  (Liberty  Co.)
     Rio Grande Oil Co.  Refinery  (Hardin  Co.)  - Proposed
      Delisting
     Sheridan Disposal Services  (Waller  Co.)
     Sikes Disposal Pits (Harris Co.)
     South Cavalcade  Street (Harris Co.)
     Tex-Tin Corporation (Galveston Co.)
     Triangle Chemical Co.  (Orange Co.)
     United Creosoting Co.  (Montgomery Co.)


Of the original nineteen sites,   four were eliminated  from  this
study.  Two of the sites were eliminated because they were  either
removed or proposed for  removal   from the  National Priority  List
(NPL), a list of sites eligible  for Superfund clean-up.
(Removing a site from the list is known  as "del is ting*".")
Harris/Farley Street was delisted in May  1986,   and Rio Grande Oil
Company Refinery was proposed for delisting in  August 1990.

-------
Further consideration of these sites does not appear to be
warranted for this project.  The other two sites eliminated  from
consideration in this study were Crystal Chemical and Tex-Tin.
Neither Crystal Chemical Co. nor Tex-Tin Corporation have
pollutants which would cause VOC emissions; thus, they are not
within the parameters of this project.


Initial consideration was also given to investigating the
following Superfund sites in Louisiana: Bayou Bonfouca, Bayou
Sorrel, Cleve Reber, Combustion Inc., D.L. Mud, Dutchtown, Gulf
Coast Vacuum Service, Old Inger, PAB Oil & Chemical Service  Inc.,
and Petro-Processors.  But due to time limitations, the
investigation did not progress past the initial review.
ASSUMPTIONS
Due to the complex and unique nature of each of  the  Superfund
sites, some assumptions were made.  First, all VOCs  at  a  site
will not enter the air.  Some VOCs will decompose  in the  soil,
volatilize and migrate into the groundwater, or  adsorb  onto and
remain on soil particle surfaces  .  Although emission rates can
be calculated, testing can establish a higher degree of
certainty.  Thus, it  is assumed that the soil concentrations may
reflect a higher  level of contaminants than actually exists since
the volatilization of a chemical  decreases with  passage of time.
Second, environmental factors can have an effect.  For  example,
the higher the vapor  pressure, the easier the volatilization of
the chemical  that occurs.  Surface temperature,  amount  and
direction of  groundwater movement, and availability  for bacterial
decomposition are some environmental factors that  will  affect
emission rates.   With fluctuations of these factors,  it is
assumed that  emission rates would reflect the change.   Third,  the
physical/chemical properties of the substance are  also  factors to
consider in determining emission  rates with a degree of accuracy.
Fourth, it is also assumed that the maximum rate of  air emissions
will occur immediately after application or action of volatile
organic substances.


PROCEDURES/METHODS


The first phase  of the project involved reading  ozone
nonattainment and Superfund materials as well as other
publications  related  to the project focus.  A literature  search
and specific  file searches were made for available materials
through the Environmental Protection Agency  (EPA)  library.
Information was  gathered during the first phase  of the  project.
Efforts were  also made to gain a  better understanding of  the

-------
Superfund process and its components.  Gathering of data also
included a review of site specific EPA files and interviewing
persons involved with the Superfund process.  During this part of
the project, contact was established with EPA Headquarters, other
Regions and Remedial Project Managers, as well as the Texas Air
Control Board and the Texas Water Commission.


Data generated as a result of the first phase included a waste
characterization for each site with attempts to obtain maximum
and minimum concentration levels.  During the investigation of
files for the selected Superfund sites, an attempt was made to
isolate the various sources of VOC emissions.  VOC sources are
categorized as mobile, area or point sources.  An example of an
area source of emissions would be soil or surface water while an
example of a point source would be a piece of equipment like an
incinerator or air stripper.  Once the sources of VOC emissions
are determined, it is necessary to recognize the type of
hazardous material at the site, the size of the site, the amount
of contamination and the proposed treatment options.  Volume,
concentration and operation rate are additional factors required
to assess emission potential of the sites.  (Please see Table II
on the following page.)   Caution should be used in interpreting
this information because a portion of the evaluations are based
on preliminary data that may be outdated.  Actual emissions
during Remedial Action (clean-up) are dependent upon baseline
conditions, treatment technology, temperature, concentrations,
duration of remedial activity and whether or not air emission
controls are used.

SUMMARY
After researching files and interviewing persons familiar with
the Superfund sites involved within the project scope,  it is
concluded from the information available that minimal VOCs are
being released from the Superfund sites located in the  Post-1987
SIP Call Houston-Galveston nonattainment area.  Other sources
contribute far more significant amounts of VOCs that in turn
affect the ozone levels.  However, due to the persistent ozone
problem in the Hous ton-Galveston-Brazoria CMSA, all sources of
emissions (both major and minor)  need to be quantified  to
determine the universe of emissions.

The Superfund sites evolved as a result of improper disposal
practices.  Industrial chemicals are a primary constituent of the
Superfund sites.  Cleanup actions have to be tailored exactly to
the needs of each individual site.  It is assumed that  since VOCs
volatilize into the atmosphere and decrease in concentration over
a period of time, the sites have negligible emissions due to the
time factor involved.  Calculations were done only for  those
sites which demonstrated action between 1987 and 1990.  Listed on
the following pages are the summaries for the Texas Superfund
sites within the Houston-Galveston Post-1987 SIP call
nonattainment area.

BAILEY WASTE DISPOSAL:  This site accepted municipal and
industrial waste.  The treatment alternative chosen for this site
addresses the environmental threat at the site by consolidating
and stabilizing the waste to prevent human contact and  future
migration.  A surface impoundment is also part of the Remedial
Action.  The Remedial Design will be complete in 1992 with the
Remedial Action expected to take an additional 15 months.

BRIO REFINING;  The process of dismantling this facility and
associated tanks for what was previously an oil refinery was
completed in December 1989.  The decontamination of tanks
involves a three-step process.  First, the tanks are rinsed using
an oil-penetrating detergent solution alone.  Second, the tanks
are rinsed using water and an oil-penetrating detergent solution.
And finally, the tanks are rinsed with water alone.  Each time
the washings are collected and properly managed.  Although
emissions from the dismantling process can be calculated given
the necessary factors to plug into the equation, the amount of
VOCs released to the atmosphere are considered negligible.
Biotreatment and incineration demonstration studies are being
reviewed by EPA and once the Consent Decree is approved, the
Remedial Design will take 12 to 16 months to complete.  In 1980,
a summary for Friendswood Refining Corporation estimated  VOC
emissions to be 3.75 tons per year maximum.  This estimate was
used in I for Brio.
                                16

-------
 DIXIE  OIL  PROCESSORS;   Used  previously as an oil recovery
 operation.   Action  entailed  the  dismantling of the process
 facility and drums  which were disposed of off-site in December
 1989.   This  site  is considered jointly with Brio Refining because
 of  their close  proximity and similarity of previous refinery
 activities.   Thus,  a proportionate estimate of VOC emissions from
 this area  was assumed.   The  amount of VOCs being released into
 the atmosphere  is estimated  to be 1.72 tons per year (tpy).

 FRENCH LIMITED;   An abandoned waste pit.   Implementation of  the
 treatment  process includes  in-situ biodegradation on 7.5 acres of
 the site,  treatment of  surface water and  ground water recovery
 and treatment.  The biodegradation process consists of aerating
 the lagoon watar  and sludge  mixture.  This is done by using  a
 series of  air sparger pipes  located in the lagoon.  Compressed
 air is supplied to  the  pipes by  diesel-driven air compressors.
 Supplemental mixing and agitation is required to break heavier
 sludges and  contaminated soil into small  particles that can  be
 suspended  in the  lagoon water using a centrifugal pump and
 hydraulic  dredge.   For  the  French Limited location,
 concentrations  of the sludges were averaged from Table 2-1 of the
 final  report dated  September 26,  1988.  It was determined from
 the provided data that  the  average composition is 1.1% VOCs.
 Public documents  note that  the French Limited Site consists  of
 77,600 cubic yards  of contaminated sludges.  An estimated 407
 total  tons of VOCs  are  released  during cleanup activity.  This
 estimate does not reflect the assumption  that 50% of the VOCs is
 volatilize to the atmosphere while the remaining 50% is assumed
 destroyed  via biodegradation.  Thus, it is estimated that
 approximately 203 tpy will  be released during the time period of
 1990-1992.

 GENEVA INDUSTRIES;   The site is  an abandoned petro-chemical
 manufacturing and reprocessing facility.   Prior to 1986,
 approximately 62,400 tons of soil was excavated to an off-site
 landfill.   The  Texas Water  Commission will oversee the pumping
 and treating of groundwater  by using carbon adsorption which is
^expected  to  begin in 1991.   The  Close Out ribbon cutting occurred
 August 7,  1990.

 HIGHLANDS  ACID  PITS; Previously accepted industrial waste
 sludge.  19,000 cubic yards  of waste has  been excavated and
 transported  to  a  permitted  facility.  All VOCs are assumed to
 volatilize to the atmosphere during excavation.  In 1987,
 excavation activities released an estimated 12.6 tons of total
 VOCs.

 INDUSTRIAL TRANSFORMERS;  An abandoned transformer reclamation
 and chemical supply company.  PCB and TCE contamination on-site.
 Plans  include the implementation of the dechlorination process to
 treat  the  soils.  Design work is expected to be complete late
 1990 with  construction  taking one year after that.  The

                                17

-------
 implementation of the plan will take 7 months.  The plans  to  oumo
 and treat ground water using an air stripper are expected  to  be  "
 complete during the Spring 1991.

 MOTCO:  The site was previously used for waste disposal.
 Treatment includes the use of an incinerator to destroy 64,000
 cubic yards of contaminated organic liquids, soils and sludges
 A^ trial burn is expected during the Fall 1990. VOC emissions  for
 tnis site are considered negligible since the remedial activity
 occurs under an encapsulated domed facility.  The contaminated
 material is feed into an incinerator at a negative pressure.
 Thus,  any VOC emission would be pulled into a vacuum. Ground
 water will be pumped and treated to remove contaminants.

 NORTH CAVALCADE:   An abandoned wood treating facility expected to
 undergo biological treatment of soils and extraction and
 treatment with carbon adsorption for the ground water.  The Texas
 Water Commission  is  preparing a design to be complete late Summer
 .L j y i_ •

 PETRO-CHEMICAL SYSTEMS;   Previously a waste disposal for
 petrochemical  sludges.  Excavation of road contamination removed
 to  on-site landfill.   Due to the vapor pressure of the volatile
 organics excavated from  the road area,  it is assumed that the
 contaminants are  solids  at standard conditions and do not
 volatilize.   RI/FS to be complete in 1991 for remainder of the
 site.
 SHERIDAN DISPOSAL  SERVICES;  Previously used as a  waste disposal
 facility.   Now expected  to implement biotreatment  for the soils
 and sludges  followed  by  stabilization and naturally attenuating
 the groundwater.   Waiting for Consent Decree.

 SIKES  DISPOSAL PITS;   Used for chemical waste from petrochemical
 companies.   Treatment includes the incineration of an estimated
 215,000 cubic  yards  of waste which is expected to  begin early
 1992 & be  complete in 1995.

,SOUTH  CAVALCADE;   The site is now used  by a  trucking  firm.   It
 was previously a  wood treating facility.   Treatment plans  include
 soil washing and  in-situ  soil flushing  with  groundwater to be
 pumped to  the  surface and cleansed  by carbon adsorption and
 filtration.   Pilot studies for the  Design Phase are expected to
 begin  in the Summer  1991.  Studies  include  a soil  washing  unit
 and ground  water pump test for the  treatment system.

 TRIANGLE CHEMICAL;   Previously a chemical  mixing and  blending
 facility.   Mechanical  aeration with soil  tilling and  testing was
 done in 1987.   The surface soil  was excavated before  a  one  foot
 till depth  was removed.   Once the  concentration  decreased  from
 500 mg/kg  to .05 mg/kg another layer  was  tilled  with  a  rotary
 tiller.   This  was  accomplished in  three passes  each at  a  one foot

depth.  The

total VOC emission from the activity was estimated at
UNITED CREOSOTING:  A wood preserving  facility  redeveloped  into
residential and light industrial area.  Once  the  contaminated
area is covered with temporary structures,  it  is  proposed  that
treatment occur within closed vessels  to prevent  human  exposure
to contaminated soils, prevent air emissions  and  prevent
contamination of surface waters by isolating  the  waste.
Treatment includes a critical fluid extraction  process,  reburial
of treated soils and off-site incineration  of organic concentrate
at a permitted facility.  During the solvent  extraction process,
organic contaminants are removed from  the soil  by solubilizing
the contaminants with a solvent fluid  (liquified  propane).   The
process separates soil from the solvent and organic contaminants.
This results in decontaminated soil, water, and concentrated
organics as final products (Feasibility Study Amendments
Preferred Alternative Analysis September 1989).   Solvent
extraction removes contaminants from the soil and  concentrates
them in liquid form.  The concentrated liquid can  then be
incinerated for total destruction.  This alternative reduces
mobility,  volume, and toxicity of contaminated  material.  The
Remedial Design is expected to be complete  in September 1990.

CONCLUSION

The estimated amount of VOC emissions from Superfund sites within
the scope of this project are determined to be 18.22 tons 1987,
decreasing to 5.47 tons per year for 1988 and 1989, with the
largest amount of estimated VOC emissions  of 208.47 tons for
1990.  Cleanup activity has occurred during the years which have
a larger number.  Development of technology to treat, monitor and
estimate the degree of contamination of a Superfund site is
constantly improving as EPA learns more about the complexity and
uniqueness of each site.  The experience and knowledge gained
from working with Superfund sites may allow the goal of RCRA to
be accomplished by avoiding the same mistakes twice.
RECOMMENDATIONS

The scope of this project was to consider the concentrations  of
contaminants to estimate VOC emissions.  It  is my  recommendation
that further studies make use of current sampling  and monitoring
data.  Back-calculating was rejected as an alternative  for
determining VOC estimates for this project.

Brio Refining, Inc. - The summary of emissions for Friendswood
Refinery Corporation is 3.75 tpy.  Therefore:

          58.1 acres —>  3.75 tpy.

Dixie Oil Processors - Since both Dixie and Brio performed
similar operations, a proportional emissions rate was assumed.
Therefore, a ratio of emissions to area was used to calculate
emissions for Dixie.

     26.6 acres --> ? amount in tpy
     58.1 = 3.75
     26.6

     X = 26.6(3.75)  = 1.72 tpy
          58.1

French Limited - An average VOC concentration was estimated by
using Table 2-1 of the Final Report dated September 26, 1988.
The average VOC content was determined to be 1.1 percent.  Public
records note that 77,600 cubic yards of sludge are contaminated
and treated over a 3 year period.  Finally a record of
communication states that 50% may be assumed destroyed by
biodegradation to yield the final estimate of 203 tpy.

Estimate:

                          DESIGN DETAILS
        MECHANICAL AERATION FOR VOLATILE ORGANICS REMOVAL
 Technical  Background

 Volatile  organic compounds  are solids  or  liquids which  tend to
 pass  easily into the vapor  state.   Mechanical treatment, such as
 air   stripping,  is  proven  technology  for  removal  of  volatile
 organics   from  water.   Air  stripping  technology  is  currently
 being expanded  into  soil  treatment  through  forced  air injection
 systems  which  remove  volatile organics  from  subsurface  soils.
 Another  innovative  soil  treatment  method,  mechanical  aeration,
 is  a  simple labor-intensive method  to strip volatiles from soils
 by  exposing contaminated soils  to  the atmosphere.  The technical
 considerations  reduce  to  the  number of  times required  to  till
 the   soils   so  that  all  particles   have  been  exposed,  and  the
 amount  of  time  required to  allow  the organics to volatilize from
 the exposed particles.

 Volatilization  of  organics  from  water has  been expressed  as a
 first-order decay with  the  decay constant-dependent  on compound
 vapor pressure, compound  molecular  weight,  compound  water solu-
 bility,  and atmospheric temperature.   The  theory can be extrapo-
 lated to volatilization in  solids  by assuming that the volatiles
 are   associated  with the  water content of  the  soils  formation.
 If  volatilization  is  Assumed  to be  a phenomena within the thin,
 unit  width,  water  bands found within soils,  the  mathematical
 expressions for volatilization are:

1Contamination based on measured  levels above background.
    Calculated volumes of waste  are  expected to be accurate to approximately
    ±30 percent; larger variation  1s possible.
2   The volume of contaminated soil  calculated 1s a minimum, since  borings did  not
    fully penetrate to clean soils.
    The volume of contaminated water (leachate) 1n the waste 1s a crude  estimate based
    on the calculated area of waste  x average saturated depth of waste x porosity of
    waste (assumed to be 0.3).                                                 3
    The volume of contaminated ground water 1n Unit A soils Is a crude minimum
    estimate based on the volume of water considered to be 1n the zone surrounding
    wastes plus an additional 30X  because the contamination was not accurately
    defined; this 1s considered  to be at least 4-5 ft thick.
    Volume of sludge, does not necessarily Indicate chemical contamination.

 The groundwater in the upper sand at  the  site  is contaminated and
 is discharging into the Grennel  Slough, Clear  Lake, and  the  sandpits.
 However,  given the dynamics  of the surface  water system, the presence
 of the waste constituents  in the surface  water system were not detected
 above  what was determined  to be  background.  The only exception to the
 above  is  the sandpits  northeast  of the site, where elevated concentra-
 tions  of  sulfate  and total dissolved  solids may be due to discharge of
 contaminated groundwater.  These elevated readings may also be  caused
 by surface runoff.   However,  hazardous constituents were not detected
 in the sandpits.

 The major contaminants  present in  the soil/waste and the groundwater at
 Highlands Acid  Pit  are  summarized  in Table 3.  Each contaminant is
 presented with  the  range of concentrations,  as well as an average
 concentration,  found during site investigative work.   An estimated
 weight of each  soil/waste contaminants is  also presented.
