EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The "CERCXA Site Discharges to POTWs CERCLA Site Sampling Program: Detailed
Data Report" was prepared for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency under
Contract 68-03-3412. This document contains wastewater data obtained from
sampling at seventeen CERCLA sites during a study of wastewater discharges
from CERCXA sites to publicly owned treatment works (POTWs). This document
serves as an appendix to the report summarizing the findings of the CERCXA
site sampling program in Section 3 ("CERCXA Site Data Report") in the USEPA
"CERCXA Site Discharges to POTWs Treatability Manual" (EPA/542/90/007).
Preceding the individual site summaries located in Attachment B in this
document is a description of the methods used to screen and incorporate the
data into an overall database. The site summaries in Attachment B consist of
the following: a) a brief description of each site, b) a summary of
analytical methods, c) a schematic of the on-site treatment facility (if
applicable) with an overview chart characterizing the wastewater and treatment
system, and, d) data tables of the compounds identified in the wastewater,
with percent removals where applicable.
Sampling durations varied between sites from one- to five- day episodes.
Sampling episode numbers are provided as a cross reference to the site
listings in Section 3 of the "CERCXA Site Discharges to POTWs Treatability
Manual". The reader should refer to this report for supplemental information
and for an evaluation of the entire database generated from this sampling
program.

REDUCTION OF CERCIA SITE SAMPLING DATA BASE
Prior to evaluating the CERCLA site data, it was necessary to reduce the data.
The data base originally consisted of samples taken at various points in the
treatment process and the corresponding contaminant concentration that was
detected for each day that samples were collected. In order to compare
treatability of contaminants across different sites and to determine the
frequency with which contaminants occurred at the eighteen sites, an average
concentration of each sample point was calculated for sites where sampling
occurred for more than one day. Duplicate samples taken during each sampling
event were also averaged with its respective sample location. In addition, raw
wastewater samples collected at two different sample locations were averaged for
Hyde Park (These samples were averaged since the leachate collected at the
sample locations is pumped from the wells and combined in a holding lagoon where
separation of the aqueous and non-aqueous phase occurs). For samples reported
as non-detect, the detection limit was used in calculating the average.
At a number of sites, data was not used to calculate the average if it was
qualified with an "R" or an "RR". At these sites, an "R" indicates that spike
recovery was not within the control limits and "RR" indicates that the slope and
correlation were not met on sample dilution. The data was therefore considered
questionable and not used. The site, sample number, and specific compound
qualified with an "R" or "RR" are summarized in Attachment A, Table A-l.
To determine the frequency of occurrence of contaminants at the sites, the
averaged data were used as described above; however, if non-detect data were
observed for a contaminant in more than fifty percent of the samples across the
unit processes that composed the treatment system, the contaminant concentration
was considered to be non-detectable and thus, not detected in all samples
collected at the site. This criterion was followed to account for system or
analytical anomalies that may have occurred. The criterion was not followed if
the influent concentration was above the detection limit and all other samples
collected over the system were non-detect. The criterion was also not followed
for some of the organics data collected at Tyson's Dump. Many of the concen-
trations detected for duplicate samples collected at the site were higher than
concentrations detected for other samples at the site. Therefore, if other
samples collected at the site for a contaminant were non-detect, except for the
concentration of the duplicate, the contaminant was considered non-detect in the
wastestream when calculating the frequency of occurrence. The data not used due
to this criterion is summarized in Attachment A, Table A-2.
Both field and laboratory blanks were analyzed for each site using the Superfund
Contract Laboratory (CLP) Protocol. For blanks where contaminants were
detected, the amount detected in the blank was multiplied by a factor of:
o 10 if the contaminant is commonly found in blanks (i.e., acetone,
methylene chloride, and bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate)
o 5 if the contaminant is not commonly found in blanks (i.e., trans-1,2-
dichloroethane and tetrachloroethene)
891003A-mll
-------
This value was then compared to the amount detected in the analytical sample.
If the analytical concentration was less, the analytical concentration was
considered non-detect at the reported concentration. If the analytical
concentration was greater, the reported concentration was considered valid. For
example, 116 /*g/l of acetone was detected in the laboratory blank (sample number
16083) analyzed for Reilly Tar and 121 ng/£ was detected in the corresponding
analytical sample. The concentration for acetone for sample number 16083 was
therefore reported as a non-detect at 121 pg/

BRIDGEPORT RENTAL - EPISODE 1222
SITE DESCRIPTION
The Bridgeport Rental and Oil Services (BROS) site is located on Cedar Swamp
Road at the divergence of Route 130 and 1-295 in Logan Township, Gloucester
County, NJ, approximately one mile east of the Town of Bridgeport, NJ and about
2 miles south of the Delaware River. The total area of the site is about
30 acres. The site includes a tank farm and a 12.7 acre lagoon that contains
waste oil and wastewater. The area surrounding the BROS facility is
predominately rural and agricultural.
The BROS lagoon began to form in the 1940's when dumping of waste oil into a
sand and gravel excavation was initiated. From the 1940's to present, the
lagoon increased in size from 0.54 acres to 12.7 acres as various liquids and
oil accumulated. Presently the lagoon is 21 feet deep in some locations and the
bottom 13 feet of lagoon contents are in contact with the groundwater. The
lagoon contents consist of a layer of surface oil and scum 1 to 2 feet thick, a
middle aqueous layer approximately 10 feet thick, and a bottom layer of oily
sludge. Review of analytical data from the middle of the aqueous layer
indicated only low levels of contamination with 10-15 pollutants.
Remedial efforts at the BROS site have been divided into three separate contract
phases. Phase I consists of removal of all tanks and waste associated with the
tank farm and removal and on-site treatment of the aqueous phase liquid from the
lagoon. Phase I began in the summer of 1987 and is projected to be completed by
the end of 1987. Operation of the wastewater treatment system began only a few
weeks prior to this site visit.
The second contract, projected to cover approximately three years, includes
removal and disposal of nonaqueous waste from the lagoon by either on-site or
off-site incineration and the final lagoon closure (backfill and revegetate). A
third contract will include an RI/FS for the purpose of determining the most
cost effective groundwater cleanup approach.
The present on-site treatment system for aqueous waste was designed by TAMS and
constructed by the U.S. Army Corps, of Engineers (COE). The system includes
oil/water separation, flocculation and sedimentation with chemical addition,
dissolved air flotation, multi-media filtration, and granular activated carbon
filtration. The treated wastewater is discharged to Little Timber Creek.
Separated oil will be disposed of in the same manner as the oil removed from the
lagoon. The system is projected to be used for treatment of aqueous phase
liquids encountered during cleanup of buried drums, incidental maintenance
pumping, and future groundwater cleanup.
Two previous removal actions to lower the liquid level of the lagoons before COE
involvement, included pumping of the aqueous phase liquid through a mobile
activated carbon treatment system.

CHARLES GEORGE - EPISODE 1309
SITE DESCRIPTION
The Charles George Land Reclamation Trust (CGLRT) site is an inactive municipal
and industrial waste landfill, located on approximately 63 acres in the
southwestern corner of Tyngsborough, Massachusetts, and on seven adjoining acres
in the neighboring town of Dunstable. The site is in Middlesex County, about
60 miles northwest of Boston, Massachusetts, and 4 miles south of Nashua, New
Hampshire.
The landfill is bordered on the north and northwest of Blodgett-Cummings Road
and the Tyngsborough-Dunstable town boundary, on the east by the U.S. Route 3,
on the south by the Cannongate II condominium complex, and on the west by
Dunstable Road.
In the mid- to late 1950s, on-site waste disposal activities began near the
intersection of Dunstable and Blodgett-Cummings roads. The site served as the
Tyngsborough municipal dump, operated by a private contractor until 1973. The
site was acquired by Charles George, Sr., in 1967, and by CGLRT in 1971. In
1973, the Massachusetts DWPC issued CGLRT a permit to accept hazardous waste
(USEPA, 1985).
In 1976, the Town of Tyngsborough authorized the CGLRT to extend the landfill to
the east, expanding its area from 38 to 63 acres (NUS, 1986). In 1977, COM
designed a clay liner for the landfill to prevent downward migration of leachate
in the site's eastern and central portions. Previous investigations found no
record of actual construction of a liner (NUS-RAMP, November 1983).
Hazardous wastes, including drummed and bulk VOCs and toxic metal sludges, were
known to have been disposed on-site from January 1973 to June 1976. The
quantity and burial locations of discarded wastes are not known. According to
the preliminary RI report, CGLRT violated DEQE regulations from 1978 to 1982
(NUS, 1986). VOCs were found in 1982 at water supply wells serving the
Cannongate condominium complex, located approximately 800 feet southeast of the
landfill. The DEQE closed these wells in July 1982. A temporary, aboveground
pipeline was installed to supply water to the complex. This water line froze
during December 1982. In 1983, the Massachusetts Attorney General, acting for
the DEQE, suspended use of the site as a landfill (USEPA, 1985).
Two RODs concerning the CGLRT have been issued by USEPA, one in December 1983
and the other in July 1985. To address Operable Unit I, the USEPA installed a
temporary insulated pipeline under the ROD issued on December 29, 1983. A
permanent waterline connecting the complex to the Lowell municipal water supply
was required in the 1983 ROD. Under this ROD, the waterline may also serve as a
water supply to a limited number of private residences in the
Cannongate-Dunstable Road area, if necessary.
In 1983 and 1984, USEPA contracted for the installation of a security fence
around portions of the landfill, regraded part of the landfill, placed a soil
cover over exposed refuse, and installed 12 gas vents. Explorations during the
4-90-61 B.2-1
-------
1984 preliminary RI disclosed the need for on-site source control measures. The
objectives of Operable Unit II were addressed and a source control
recommendation was presented in a subsequent source-oriented FS (NUS, 1985). As
a result, USEPA issued their second ROD on July 11, 1985, to install-a flexible
membrane cap over the landfill surface, a leachate collection system, and
additional gas vents as primary contaminant source-control measures. Operable
Units III and IV are being addressed through a USEPA contract to Ebasco
initiated in June 1986.

NR - Not required by contract at this time.
Value - B indicates the result is a value greater than or equal to the instrument
detection limit, but less than the contract required detection limit
(i.e., 10B) . The contract required detection limit was raised to
100 Mg/L for boron to compensate for contamination from borosilicate
glassware. The boron IDL, however, remains at 10
U - Indicates element was analyzed for but not detected. Report with the
detection limit value (e.g., 10U) .
E - Indicates a value estimated or not reported due to the presence of
interference. Explanatory note included on cover page.
M - Slope and Correlation Coefficient met (using MSA)
MM - Slope and Correlation Coefficient met on sample dilution.
RR - Slope and Correlation Coefficient not met on sample dilution for Furnace
analysis OR Spike Recovery limits not met for ICP analysis after dilution
and rerun.
D - Analysis of Duplicate of Spiked Sample failed required RPD.
R - Spike recovery limits met after rerun on ICP.

City of Hamilton, Ohio. The site is bounded by a residential district, a
municipal park, the Ford Hydraulic Canal which flows to the Great Miami River,
and a railroad right-of-way adjacent to a sheet metal fabrication plant.
The Chem-Dyne site is believed to have begun receiving hazardous substances as
early as 1974. Additionally, Spray-Dyne, an affiliated company, produced
antifreeze solution on-site by recycling chemical wastes and using virgin
chemicals. By 1976, Chem-Dyne was a rapidly growing corporation specializing
in storage, recycling, and disposing a wide variety of industrial chemical
waste. Chem-Dyne sold chemical fuels produced by mixing chemical wastes in
bulk storage tanks, open containers, and gravel-lined loading docks. Other
wastes were stored in drums and tanks (including at least one old leaking
railroad tank car) in buildings and outdoors.
In five years of operation, the facility accepted waste from approximately 200
generators. Materials handled included pesticides and pesticide residues,
chlorinated hydrocarbons, solvents, waste oils, plastics and resins, poly-
brominated biphenyls, polychlorinated biphenyls, flame retardants, acids and
caustics, heavy metal and cyanide sludges, and package laboratory chemicals.
More than 300,000 drums and 300,000 gallons of bulk materials were on-site when
Chem-Dyne ceased operations.
Chem-Dyne operations resulted in uncontrolled releases of hazardous materials.
Mixing of liquid wastes was often done in open gravel-lined pits, releasing
noxious vapors into the atmosphere, and contaminating soil and groundwater.
Reportedly, 55-galIon drums were punctured and were allowed to leak, or were
dumped on the ground and into troughs and sewers. Wastes were frequently
spilled, and at one time, a large pool of waste reportedly covered one portion
of the site surface.
A number of environmental incidents were reported at the Chem-Dyne facility
during its operation, including at least five fish kills, a series of fires,
many odor complaints, and a fuming railroad tank car incident caused by improp-
er mixing of chemical wastes. Legal actions resulting from Chem-Dyne's han-
dling of wastes resulted in settlements with which Chem-Dyne did not comply.
Eventually, court action forced Chem-Dyne to stop operations, remove wastes
from the site, and clean up suspected soil and groundwater contamination.
The Chem-Dyne facility ceased operation in January 1980 when the state of Ohio
named a receiver to assume operations and respond to the problems at Chem-Dyne.
In 1981, the receivership ran short of funds to continue waste removal from the
site and stopped operation. USEPA began removal actions and initiated a site
remedial investigation (RI) and feasibility study (FS) in March 1982. Poten-
tially responsible parties (PRPs), generators of wastes left on-site, were also
identified and contacted to remove wastes and negotiate cleanup contributions.

-------
As a result of the initial cleanup operations, all containerized surface waste
has not been removed from the site, and an RI and FS have been completed. The
RI indicated extensive soil contamination by priority pollutant acids and
volatile organic compounds (VOCs), several of which are considered carcinogens.
Inorganic chemicals, semivolatile organic compounds, and pesticides were found
in the upper three feet of soils at the site while VOCs were found mainly in
the upper six feet of soil.
A hydrogeological investigation and chemical analyses of groundwater samples
conducted as part of the RI indicated that a contaminant consisting primarily
of VOCs is present in groundwater near the site and has the potential to affect
receptors in the near future. Aquifer characteristics suggest that plume
contaminants could be taken in by a number of industrial production wells
located within a one-mile radius, resulting in near-term exposures due to
volatilization of contaminants within these industrial facilities from the use
of contaminated water. The city of Hamilton's contamination of drinking water
would result in long-term exposures due to contamination of the drinking water
supply.
RI sampling and observation also indicated extensive contamination of some of
the utilities and buildings on-site which present a future source of soil and
groundwater contamination and pose a current threat from direct contact or air
exposure.
The FS developed and evaluated remedial action alternatives to address environ-
mental problems as identified in the site RI. USEPA issued a
Record-of-Decision (ROD) on July 5, 1985, documenting the selection of a
remedial action alternative which has since been implemented. Remediation
includes source control measures and groundwater extraction, treatment by air
stripping, clarification, and vapor-phase carbon adsorption for air stripping
offgas discharge in part to the aquifer to increase the efficiency of the
extraction system and also to the Ford Canal.

GENEVA - EPISODE 1224
SITE DESCRIPTION
The Geneva Industries site is a 13.5 acre tract located at 9334 Caniff Road in
Houston, Texas immediately adjacent to the limits of the city of South Houston.
The site is within one mile of Interstate Highway 45 and within two miles of
William P. Hobby Airport. The property is bound on the north by Caniff Road, on
the southwest by Easthaven Boulevard, and on the east by a Harris County Flood
Control Channel.
The site is an abandoned refinery which manufactured a variety of organic
compounds including biphenyl, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), phenyl phenol,
naptha, and Nos. 2 and 6 fuel oils from 1967 through 1978.
Prior to 1967, the property was used for petroleum exploration and production.
Geneva Industries began manufacturing biphenyl by distillation of toluene
dealkylation bottoms in June 1967, began producing PCBs in June 1972, and
declared bankruptcy in November 1973. Since that time, four other corporations
owned and operated the Geneva facility, including:
Pilot Industries, February 1974 - December 1976
Intercoastal Refining, December 1976 - December 1980
Lonestar Fuel Co., December 1980 - May 1982
Fuhnnann Energy, May 1982 - Present
Operation of the facility ceased in September 1978 and was never resumed. The
current owner, Fuhrmann Energy, has salvaged much of the equipment onsite for
resale.
Records from the Texas Water Quality Board and the Harris County Pollution
Control district indicate that several citations were issued to the various
owners for unauthorized discharges of wastewater into the adjacent flood control
channel. These records also indicate that plant operation was marked by
numerous spills and process leaks and that housekeeping and disposal practices
deteriorated with time. As of 1981, the site contained processing tanks,
piping, and equipment, three open and one closed wastewater lagoon, a diked tank
area, several drum storage areas, a landfill, and possibly a landfarm.
A Planned Removal was performed by EPA during the period from October 1983 to
February 1984 to close out three onsite lagoons, remove all drummed waste on the
surface, remove all offsite soils containing greater than 50 ppm PCBs, install a
cap over all onsite soils containing greater than 50 ppm PCBs, and improve site
drainage. Approximately 3,400 cubic yards of contaminated soils and sludges,
550 drums, and 30 tons of asbestos were removed and transported to an approved
disposal facility in Emmelle, Alabama. Other removal actions to plug abandoned
wells onsite and remove storage tank materials were performed in May and
September 1984, respectively.
A Cooperative Agreement for a Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Study
(RI/FS) for $630,000 was awarded by EPA to the State of Texas in December 1983.
4-90-61 B>4~1
-------
D'Appolonia, Inc., not IT Corporation, in association with Environmental
Research and Technology, Inc., and Rollins Environmental Services (TX) Inc., was
contracted by the State to conduct the RI/FS. The initial site work was
completed in September 1984, at which time it was determined that additional
field work would be required. An amendment to the grant for $300,000 was
awarded in March 1985 to investigate possible a seismic faulting at the site.
All field work was completed in October 1985.
The Remedial Investigation was completed in December 1985. The Feasibility
Study began in December 1984 and completed in April 1986. The long feasibility
study period was due to the need for the extensive fault investigation conducted
in September 1985. The detailed development and evaluation of remedial
alternatives could not be done until the effects of possible faulting across the
site could be determined.
Due to the temporary protective cap placed on the site during the 1984 Planned
Removal, on-site surface expressions of faulting were not discovered during the
site investigation. However, faulting in the vicinity of Geneva Industries has
been documented by the United States Geologic Survey. To further define the
potential for faulting at the site, an area survey was conducted to locate
surficial expressions of faulting within 1/2 mile of the site.
Wells M-5 and M-9 tap the shallow water and deep water aquifers, respectively.
Remediation efforts include plans to convert monitoring wells M-5 and M-9 to
extraction wells for a future pump and treat system. These two wells were the
recommended sample points for an EPA-ITD sampling effort.

GOLD COAST OIL - EPISODE 1242
SITE DESCRIPTION
The Gold Coast Oil Corporation (GCO) site is a 2-acre parcel of flat, sandy land
located at 2835 SW 71st Avenue, Miami, Florida. The site has no distinguishable
surface drainage and is enclosed by a fence with a locking gate. It is bordered
on the north and west by railroad tracks, on the south by a group of small
businesses and on the east by SW 71st Avenue. The site operations are currently
inactive. The Coral Gables Canal is approximately 850 feet south of the site on
the other side of the small businesses. The canal drains to the Biscayne bay
and on to the Atlantic Ocean.
The site property is owned by Seabord Systems Railroad Company, which is now
known as CSX Transportation, who leased the property to Gold Coast Oil
Corporation in the early 1970s. Gold Coast Oil, along with Solvent Extraction,
Incorporated were in the business of distilling mineral spirits and lacquer
thinner and reclaiming solvents. All waste generated by the solvent recovery
operations were disposed or stored on site; no waste was shipped off-site during
the 11 years of operation. Slowdown from the operations sprayed directly onto
the ground, and 53 drums of sludge-contaminated soil were stored in the
southwest area of the site near the distillation unit. Still-bottomwaste from
the distilling operation was pumped into a tank truck for storage. There were
also 2500 corroded and leaking drums containing sludge from the distilling
operation, contaminated soils, and paint sludges located on site, along with
large storage tanks of hazardous waste.
Representatives of the Dade County Department of Environmental Resources
Management (DERM) took samples of illegally dumped and stored sludge, and from
on-site wells at the Gold Coast Oil site on April 22, 1980. DERM issued a
complaint for temporary, permanent, mandatory and prohibitory injunctive relief,
civil damages, and civil penalties against Gold Coast Oil, on January 14, 1981.
On March 16, 1981, the complaint was amended to include CSX Transportation, the
owner of the property.
The DERM reported the site to the EPA in early May 1981. The EPA Surveillance
and Analyses Division (SAD) conducted a sampling investigation of the site in
June 1981. The SAD sampled groundwater from existing wells, soil, and waste
material. In August 1981, the EPA filed a complaint against Gold Coast Oil
along with a Consent Agreement and Final Order. In the fall of 1981, the Gold
Coast Oil site was submitted to the EPA for inclusion on the Interim National
Priority List. Two hazard ranking scores by Ecology and Environment's (E&E)
Field Investigation Team (FIT) was 46:51.
Also, in October 1981, the FDER conducted a RCRA interim status inspection and
reported the results to EPA. On December 1, 1981, EPA filed a Default Order
against Gold Coast Oil for failing to file a timely answer to the complaint
issued previously and for non-payment of the civil penalty imposed. In
December 1981, an earth resistivity survey by FIT IV was conducted. In early
1982, Dade County, with the assistance of FDER, began to prepare an enforcement
case against the property owner, the CSX Transportation Company, as well as the
4-90-61 B.5-1
-------
Gold Coast Oil Corporation. CSX Transportation was also advised that the EPA
was going to undertake immediate removal of the hazardous waste on-site under
the authority of CERCLA. Neither of these actions were undertaken because in
June of 1982, CSX Transportation evicted Gold Coast Oil from the property and
agreed to voluntarily clean up the site. In July 1982, CSX Transportation
submitted for approval a cleanup and disposal plan to clean up the site's
surface.
The cleanup action of the surface contaminants at the GCO site was undertaken
the following month. The clean-up, conducted by Chemical Waste Management under
contract to the Railroad, involved removing the drums, emptying the storage
tanks and excavating and removing contaminated soils to a depth of approximately
six inches.
In March 1983, the Florida Department of Environmental Regulation requested that
EPA take the lead at this site, and in September 1983 the GCO site was added to
the National Priority List with a 46.5 hazardous ranking score.
In June 1983, a Remedial Action Master Plan (RAMP) was developed by NUS
Corporation under an EPA contract. In March 1984, BCM Eastern Incorporated,
consultants for the PRP Steering Committee, produced an "Environmental
Investigation of the Gold Coast Site". In June 1984 a "Draft Remedial
Alternatives Evaluation Report for the Gold Coast Oil Corporation Site" was
produced by Engineering and Science under an EPA contract. In May 1985 BCM
Eastern submitted a "Selection of Remedial Approach" report, again a report for
the PRP Steering Committee.
The Biscayne Aquifer Study area-wide groundwater Record of Decision was signed
by the Assistant Administrator, Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response in
September 1985. The cleanup levels established as a result of that study and
that Record of Decision have been revised and approved by the Florida Department
of Environmental Regulation for the Gold Coast Oil site.
The groundwater data associated with the site indicate an area of significant
contamination in the northeast corner of the site. The levels of contaminants
have generally decreased across the site except for the levels of
trichloroethylene and tetrachloroethylene which have increased in this northeast
corner. The levels of metals in the groundwater are considered to be at normal
environmental levels since they are relatively constant throughout the entire
area of the site. Wells M-8 and M-13 are considered representative of the area
of highest levels of contamination and are recommended sample points for an
EPA-ITD sampling effort.

HYDE PARK LANDFILL - EPISODE 1220
(ONE DAY SAMPLING EVENT)

HYDE PARK - EPISODE 1220
SITE DESCRIPTION
The Hyde Park landfill is approximately 15 acres in area and is located
northwest of the City of Niagara Falls in the northwest corner of the Town of
Niagara. It is immediately surrounded by several industrial facilities and
property owned by the Power Authority for the State of New York. There is a
residential neighborhood to the northwest and south of the landfill. The
Niagara River is located 2,000 feet to the northwest.
From 1954 until 1975, Occidental Chemical Corporation (OCC), then known as
Hooker Chemical and Plastics Corporation, disposed of approximately 80,000 tons
of chemical wastes in the Hyde Park Landfill. These wastes included chloro-
benzenes, hexachlorocyclopentadiene (C-56) and trichlorophenols. Previous
chemical analyses have identified 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin in the
Hyde Park wastes.
In 1979, EPA and, in 1980, the State of New York Department of Environmental
Conservation (NYSDEC) sued OCC to clean up the on-site and off-site contami-
nation resulting from leakage of chemical wastes from the landfill. Negotia-
tions were held among all the parties and on April 30, 1982, a Stipulation and
Judgement approving the Hyde Park Settlement Agreement was approved by the
United States District Court.
The Settlement Agreement provided that OCC (1) conduct surveys and tests
(Aquifer Survey Program) to determine how far and how deep groundwater had
carried chemicals away from the Hyde Park Landfill and (2) assess ways to
contain and/or clean up this contamination through the use of Requisite Remedial
Technology (RRT). OCC completed this survey program in December 1983 and
presented its findings to the federal and state governments. The findings
stated that a two-phase "plume" of chemicals is migrating away from the land-
fill: a non-aqueous phase liquid (NAPL) and an aqueous phase liquid (APL).
NAPL is composed of many chemicals that do not dissolve readily in water. It
moves more slowly than APL through soil and rock, and is more dense than water.
APL also is composed of many chemicals; however, the chemicals are dissolved in
groundwater and tend to be carried along with it. The APL plume has spread
further away from the landfill than the NAPL plume.
As required by the Settlement Agreement, OCC began a RRT Study in October 1983
to determine which remedies were most appropriate to clean up and/or contain the
chemicals that had escaped and were continuing to escape from the Hyde Park
Landfill. OCC submitted, its RRT report to the EPA and NYSDEC in May 1984 and
the agencies responded to the report in September 1984. Since that time, the
EPA, NYSDEC, and OCC have had many meetings to resolve outstanding issues and
concerns raised by OCC's report and the agencies' review of that report. The
RRT ultimately agreed to by the parties is described in a document entitled
Stipulation on Requisite Remedial Technology Program submitted to the United
States District Court for approval on November 26, 1985.
To date, OCC has installed a barrier collection system around the perimeter of
the landfill and capped the site. Leachate intercepted by the barrier drain
4-90-61 B.6-1
-------
system collects in two wet-wells located at the two western corners of the
landfill. The leachate is pumped from the wet-wells to a holding lagoon where
separation of APL and NAPL occurs. The APL is transferred from the lagoon to a
tank truck several times each day. The truck hauls the waste to OCC's off-site
pretreatment facility. The NAPL removed to an on-site storage area consisting
of four 10,000 gallon railroad tank cars surrounded by a clay dike. Presently,
OCC is requesting authorization to incinerate the NAPL at an incineration
facility located at its plant on Buffalo Avenue in Niagara Falls.

LOVE CANAL - EPISODE 1219
SITE DESCRIPTION
Love Canal is an abandoned landfill once owned by Hooker Chemicals (now
Occidental Chemical Corporation) where 21,800 tons of both drummed and undruramed
liquid and solid chemical wastes were disposed from 1942 to 1953. Love Canal is
now a contained area controlled by the New York State Department of
Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) since August 1978.
NYSDEC installed a French drain around the dump boundary and capped the site in
1979. Leachate and groundwater intercepted by the drain collects in four
collection chambers located along the collection system. In the northern and
central sectors of the canal, vertical centrifugal pumps transfer leachate from
the collection chambers to six underground storage cells (30,000-gallon total
capacity) located behind the leachate treatment plant. Horizontal centrifugal
pumps transfer leachate collected in the southern sector to a 25,000-gallon
in-ground holding tank at a rate of 300 gpm.
Raw leachate from the holding tank and the storage cells is pumped to a
2,000-gallon fiberglass storage tank located inside the treatment building. A
double-diaphragm pump transfers the water from the fiberglass tank to the
15,600-gallon rectangular clarifier that contains redwood flights and weirs.
Equipment is available for the addition of coagulants and flocculants, however,
it is not used. Every other month, sludge is removed from the clarifier to a
fiberglass holding tank. The effluent from the clarifier flows by gravity to a
2,000-gallon fiberglass filter feed tank. Two double-diaphragm pumps transfer
the water at a rate of 160 gpm from the filter feed tank through two separate
feed lines to 50 /im polypropylene filter bags (a series of two in each line).
Filtrate from the filters combines before going to two Calgon carbon adsorbers
operated in series. Treated wastewater is discharged from the treatment system
to the City's sewer at an average rate of 40,000 gallons per operating day.
Sludge removed from the clarifier is transferred to a 1,500-gallon sludge
holding tank. Supernatant from the sludge holding tank is recycled back to the
filter feed tank, and the settled sludge is pumped to one of the four on-site
outdoor storage tanks, each with a 10,000-gallon capacity. Three of the four
outdoor sludge storage tanks are unlined: one is epoxy-lined. The Love Canal
pretreatment system produces approximately 150 gallons per month of sludge,
which is being stored on-site until NYSDEC officials can find a suitable means
for its disposal.
All of the treatment system piping at Love Canal was teflon-lined, and the
system itself was designed by Conestoga-Rovers & Associates, Waterloo, Ontario,
Canada.
The entire pretreatment system at Love Canal is closed to the atmosphere, and
55-gallon carbon canisters scrub the vented gases from the treatment plant unit
operations, including the raw leachate holding tank, the clarifier, the filter
feed tank, and the sludge holding tank.
4-90-61 B.7-1
-------
The current average wastewater discharge from Love Canal is 40,000 gallons per
operating day. During the summer, discharge occurs approximately once every two
weeks; during the spring, discharge is as often as twice per week. The volume
of discharge has decreased from 4.5 to 2.5 million gallons per year since
capping of the site was completed.
The pollutants identified in previous studies at Love Canal are Lindane
(33 percent), and chlorinated hydrocarbons (67 percent) such as toluene,
benzene, heptachlor, di-octyl phthalates, chloroform, methylene chloride,
tetrachloroethylene, trichloroethylene, total phenols, and chlorobenzene.

NYANZA CHEMICAL - EPISODE 1310
SITE DESCRIPTION
The 35-acre Nyanza site is located on Megunko Road in the Town of Ashland,
Middlesex County, Massachusetts, approximately 35 miles west of Boston. The
site was the location of chemical dye manufacturing facilities for 61 years and
is currently occupied by several small industrial enterprises. The current
owners are MCL Development Corporation (MCL) and Edward Camille.
From 1917 to 1977, the site was occupied by several companies involved in the
manufacture of textile dyes and dye intermediates. During that period, several
types of chemical wastes were disposed in various on-site locations. These
wastes included partially treated process wastewater; chemical sludge from the
wastewater treatment process; solid process wastes (e.g., chemical precipitate
and filter cakes) in drums; solvent recovery distillation residue in drums; and
off-specification products. Process chemicals that could not be recycled or
reused (e.g., phenol, nitrobenzene, and mercuric sulfate) were also disposed
on-site. The most recent dye manufacturing company to occupy the site, Nyanza,
Inc., acquired the property in 1965.
The first type of contamination linked to Nyanza was mercury, discovered in the
Sudbury River in 1972 (CDM, 1982). From 1972 through 1977, the Massachusetts
Departments of Public Health and Water Pollution Control (DPH and DWPC) cited
Nyanza, Inc., for several contamination problems associated with dumping
activities. In 1974, Camp, Dresser, and McKee (CDM), working for Nyanza, Inc.,
devised plans to control groundwater contamination on the Nyanza property;
however, implementation did not occur. Nyanza, Inc., ceased business in 1978
due to financial difficulties.
Edward Camille, a private citizen, acquired the property from Nyanza, Inc., in
1978. In 1979, the Department of Environmental Quality Engineering (DEQE)
stayed plans, on behalf of Mr. Camille, to complete the groundwater pollution
control activities, pending further investigation by the newly established DEQE
Division of Hazardous Waste.
Since 1972, several investigations have been prompted by contamination present
at or originating from Nyanza. JBF Scientific Corporation conducted a 1972
Sudbury River investigation that revealed mercury contamination caused by
uncontrolled sludge disposal at the Nyanza, Inc., property. The CDM groundwater
pollution control program designed in 1974 for Nyanza, Inc., included a site
investigation aimed at source identification. In 1979, Mr. Camille hired
Connorstone Engineering, Inc., to complete the CDM pollution control program.
In 1980, the DEQE released a Preliminary Site Assessment Report summarizing the
site history and findings of previous investigations at the site (DEQE, October
1980).
In 1981, MCL acquired a portion of the property. MCL hired Connorstone Engi-
neering, Inc., and Carr Research Laboratory, Inc., to characterize soil compo-
sition and locate sludge deposits.

-------
The Nyanza site was included on the original National Priority List (NPL) of
Superfund sites in 1982. A preliminary Remedial Action Master Plan (RAMP) was
prepared for EPA by COM in 1982. To expedite remediation, the RI/FS for Nyanza
was divided into two phases, or "operable units." At that time, some sampling
and analysis had been performed, and it became evident that site remediation
would ultimately address two distinct problems: surficial deposits of sludges
and sediments contaminated primarily by heavy metals, and groundwater contami-
nated primarily by organic chemicals. The surficial sludge and sediment problem
was designated Phase I, or Operable Unit I, and primarily encompassed source
identification and control. In 1984, EPA authorized NUS Corporation (NUS) to
complete an RI/FS for Operable Unit I (NUS, March 1985).
A Record of Decision (ROD) for Operable Unit I was signed in September 1985.
The ROD calls for excavation of nine localized areas of contamination; solidi-
fication of the excavated sludges, sediments, and soils; and placement of those
materials on the "Hill" area in the southern part of the site. A diversion
trench will also be constructed around the southern end of the capped area to
divert surface water flow and lower the groundwater table within the capped
area.
In 1986, EPA authorized CDM to conduct additional field investigations to define
source locations and design the remedial action stipulated in the ROD. The
design is currently underway, and remediation of some contaminated areas is in
progress.
After further investigation, EPA elected to divide the remaining problems at
Nyanza into two additional operable units. Operable Unit II addresses ground-
water contamination and migration. This study is the focus of Nyanza II.

Value - B indicates the result is a value greater than or equal to the instrument
detection limit, but less than the contract required detection limit
(i.e., 10B). The contract required detection limit was raised to
100 Mg/L for boron to compensate for contamination from borosilicate
glassware. The boron IDL, however, remains at 10 Mg/L.
TJ - Indicates element was analyzed for but not detected. Report with the
detection limit value (e.g., 10U).
E - Indicates a value estimated or not reported due to the presence of
interference. Explanatory note included on cover page.
M - Slope and Correlation Coefficient met (using MSA)
MM - Slope and Correlation Coefficient met on sample dilution.
RR - Slope and Correlation Coefficient not met on sample dilution for Furnace
analysis OR Spike Recovery limits not met for ICP analysis after dilution
and rerun.
D - Analysis of Duplicate of Spiked Sample failed required RPD.
R - Spike recovery limits met after rerun on ICP.

REILLY TAR - EPISODE 1239
SITE DESCRIPTION
The Reilly Tar and Chemical Company site occupies 80 acres of land located in
St. Louis Park, Minnesota. The plant site, called the Republic Creosote Works,
is located west of Gorham, Republic, and Louisiana Avenues, south of
32nd Street, east of Pennsylvania Avenue, and north of Walker Street. The City
of St. Louis Park purchased the land from Reilly in 1972. The St. Louis Park
Housing and Redevelopment Authority currently controls the site. The City is
contiguous to the City of Minneapolis and exhibits a similar population density.
Currently, the site is a park with a portion of it developed with condominiums.
It is located in the midst of a residential area with some small industry.
From 1918 to 1972 the company operated a coal tar distillation facility and wood
preserving plant. Its primary production was creosote. The chemical compounds
associated with this process are polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and
phenolics. The release to the environment of these compounds occurred during
the coal distillation process and from materials stored on the site. The
materials were apparently dumped into a well, referred to as W-23, which
penetrated to the Mt. Simon/Hinckley Aquifer, a depth of about 900 feet. The
well was cleaned out by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) to a depth
of 866 feet. Coal tar was removed down to a depth of 740 feet. Wastes
containing coal tar and its distillation by-products were discharged, as a
matter of disposal practice, overland into ditches that emptied into a peat bog
south of the site. This practice, according to Reilly, occurred from 1917 to
1939. In 1940 and 1941 Reilly installed a wastewater treatment plant and
discharged the effluent into the bog south of the site. The values of both
phenolics and oil and grease in the discharge water varied typically from 100 to
1,000 milligrams per liter. This discharge continued for the duration of
Reilly's operation. The peat bog has retained contamination that was discharged
over the years and, as is explained below, is now a major source of groundwater
contamination.
In 1972, the plant was dismantled and the land sold to the City of St. Louis
Park. In 1973, a storm water runoff collection system was built which fed into
a lined pond on the site. The pond discharges into a drain which is routed to
another pond off-site before it eventually discharges into Minnehaha Creek. The
City of St. Louis Park (SLP) monitors the discharge into the creek.
Construction of a block of condominiums on the northern part of the site began
in 1976. At this time, no further construction is underway, although plans for
new development of the site are pending by the Housing and Redevelopment
Authority. All excavation of material has been inspected by the State and if
contaminated, the soils were disposed of.
There are three conceptual operable units involved with the Reilly Tar Remedial
response. These include: (1) restoration of drinking water supply to St. Louis
Park, (2) containment or treatment of groundwater in contaminated aquifers, and
(3) source control of the bog and contaminated soil at the site.
In August 1981, the MPCA was awarded a cooperative agreement to investigate Well
W23, and to perform a feasibility study for restoration of drinking water.
4-90-61 B.9-1
-------
During that study, the State removed coal tar deposits from Well W23 that were a
source of groundwater contamination. The well itself is now clean although some
residual contamination probably remains in the aquifers penetrated by the well.
Presently, there are two extraction wells that alternately pump contaminated
groundwater to an on-site pretreatment facility. The wastestream is pumped to a
sand filter (iron removal) prior to discharge to a granular activated carbon
unit. Treated effluent from the carbon unit flows to a 1.5 million gallon
holding tank where approximately 95 percent of the water is discharged to the
drinking water supply for the City. The remaining 5 percent is discharged to
the City's sewer system.

STRINGFELLOW ACID PITS - EPISODE 1221
SITE DESCRIPTION
Stringfellow Acid Pit was operated by Stringfellow Quarry Co. from 1956 to 1972
as a hazardous waste disposal facility. The landfill disposal site was permit-
ted by the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB). About
34 million gallons of wastes, mostly from metal finishing, electroplating, and
DDT production, were deposited on approximately 17 acres of the site. In 1969
and 1978, excessive rainfall caused the ponds used for solar evaporation to
overflow, spreading contamination into the nearby town of Glen Avon. In July
1980, the RWQCB advocated total removal of all solids and liquids but the funds
were not available. In December 1980, RWQCB selected an interim plan that
included installation of channels to divert surface water, a gravel drain and a
network of wells for monitoring and extraction, and a clay core barrier dam
downgradient to stop subsurface leachate migration.
California placed Stringfellow at the top of the California priority list. The
State conducted a study in compliance with the National Oil and Hazardous
Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (the National Contingency Plan or NCP) to
obtain CERCLA funds. The results of the study indicated that on-site management
was more cost effective than total removal.
On July 22, 1983, Lee Thomas, Assistant Administrator of the Office of Solid
Waste and Emergency Response (OSWER), signed a Record of Decision (ROD) which
endorsed the State's request for funds for both existing activities and proposed
actions. The interim actions authorized in the ROD were:
o removal of DDT contaminated material
o operation of extraction wells upgradient of the clay barrier to
protect the barrier
o fencing the entire site to prevent entry
o erosion control to prevent destruction of a clay cap
The state also requested EPA to lead a fast track Remedial Investigation/Feasi-
bility Study (RI/FS) while the Department of Health Services completed the
long-term RI/FS.
As a result of the fast track RI/FS, a pretreatment system was installed to
treat the groundwater before its discharge to the Santa Ana Watershed Project
Authority. The series of extraction wells transfer two groundwater streams from
the contaminated canyon area to the field storage tanks. On-site groundwater
(Stream A), known to contain metal compounds and organics, is transferred from
the field storage tanks to one of four equalization tanks (each with a
12,000-gallon capacity) at the on-site treatment plant. Once equalization of
Stream A occurs, Stream A proceeds to a 400-gallon capacity rapid mix tank where
lime and caustic soda are added to aid precipitation and to control
acidity/alkalinity, and polymer is added to aid floe formation. The chemically
treated and mixed stream flows to two parallel-operating clarifiers.
4-90-61 B.10-1
-------
The thickened sludge is pumped from the clarifiers to the sludge holding tanks,
and the clarified effluent flows to two gravity sand filters operating in
parallel. Each filter has a 7.6 square foot area, and the sand is about three
feet deep. Wastewater from the sand filters is transferred to the 500-gallon
Stream A filter effluent tank.
Groundwater from mid-canyon (Stream B), which contains mostly organic compounds,
is transferred from the field storage tanks to one of three equalization tanks
(12,000-gallon capacity each) located at the on-site treatment plant. Stream A
effluent from the 500-gallon filter effluent tank is blended with Stream B
before discharging to activated carbon adsorption vessels. The two carbon
adsorption vessels each have a 10-ton capacity for granular activated carbon and
are operated in series with a third vessel functioning as a transfer tank.
Effluent from the carbon adsorption vessels is transferred to one of four final
effluent storage tanks (80,000-gallon total capacity), before it is discharged
to the sewer at an average rate of 870,000 gallons per month. As necessary,
effluent from these storage tanks is used as backwash and other plant utility
water.
Sludge is pumped from the clarifiers to two 11,000-gallon sludge holding tanks.
The sludge from the two sludge holding tanks is fed to two plate-and-frame
filter presses. Depending on the pollutant content, the filtrate from the
filter press operation can be recycled to either the Stream A influent equal-
ization tanks, the Stream B influent equalization tanks, or the Stream A filter
effluent tank. Usually, the filtrate is pumped to the Stream A equalization
tanks. The sludge cake is discharged into containers and is hauled off-site by
a contractor for disposal at a RCRA approved Class I disposal site as hazardous
waste.
As part of the Stringfellow discharge permit, the effluent must be tested prior
to any discharge. Currently, the facility is allowed to fill two storage tanks
simultaneously, but is only required to test one tank.
The pretreatment system located at Stringfellow operates five days per week
during the daylight hours.

ANALYTICAL QUALIFIERS
NR - Not required by contract at this time.
Value - If the result is a value greater than or equal to the instrument
detection limit, but less than the contract required detection limit, put
the value in brackets (i.e., [10]). Indicate the analytical method used
with P (for ICP/Flame AA) or F (for Furnace).
U - Indicates element was analyzed for but not detected. Report with the
detection limit value (e.g., 10U).
E - Indicates a value estimated or not reported due to the presence of
interference. Explanatory note included on cover page.
S - Indicates value determined by Method of Standard Addition.
R - Indicates spike recovery is not within control limits.
* - Indicates duplicate analysis is not within control limits.
+ - Indicates the correlation coefficient for Method of Standard Addition is
less than 0.995.

STRINGFELLOW ACID PITS - EPISODE 1240
SITE DESCRIPTION
Stringfellow Acid Pit was operated by Stringfellow Quarry Co. from 1956 to 1972
as a hazardous waste disposal facility. The landfill disposal site was permit-
ted by the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB). About
34 million gallons of wastes, mostly from metal finishing, electroplating, and
DDT production, were deposited on approximately 17 acres of the site. In 1969
and 1978, excessive rainfall caused the ponds used for solar evaporation to
overflow, spreading contamination into the nearby town of Glen Avon. In July
1980, the RWQCB advocated total removal of all solids and liquids but funds were
not available. In December 1980, RWQCB selected an interim plan that included
installation of channels to divert surface water, a gravel drain, and a network
of wells for monitoring and extraction, and a clay core barrier dam downgradient
to stop subsurface leachate migration.
California placed Stringfellow at the top of the California priority list. The
State conducted a study in compliance with the National Oil and Hazardous
Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (National Contingency Plan (NCP)) to
obtain CERCLA funds. The results of the study indicated that on-site management
was more cost effective than total removal.
On July 22, 1983, Lee Thomas, Assistant Administrator of the Office of Solid
Waste and Emergency Response (OSWER), signed a Record of Decision (ROD) which
endorsed the State's request for funds for both existing activities and proposed
actions. The interim actions authorized in the ROD were:
o removal of DDT contaminated material
o operation of extraction wells upgradient of the clay barrier to
protect the barrier
o fencing the entire site to prevent entry
o erosion control to prevent destruction of a clay cap
The State also requested EPA to lead a fast track Remedial Investigation/Feasi-
bility Study (RI/FS) while the Department of Health Services completed the
long-term RI/FS.
As a result of the fast track RI/FS, a pretreatment system was installed to
treat the groundwater before its discharge to the Santa Ana Watershed Project
Authority. The series of extraction wells transfer two groundwater streams from
the contaminated canyon area to the field storage tanks. On-site groundwater
(Stream A), known to contain metal compounds and organics, is transferred from
the field storage tanks to one of four equalization tanks (each with a
12,000-gallon capacity) at the on-site treatment plant. Once equalization of
Stream A occurs, Stream A proceeds to a 400-gallon capacity rapid mix tank where
lime and caustic soda are added to aid precipitation and to control
4-90-61 B.ll-1
-------
acidity/alkalinity, and polymer is added to aid floe formation. The chemically
treated and mixed stream flows to two parallel-operating clarifiers.
The thickened sludge is pumped from the clarifiers to the sludge holding tanks,
and the clarified effluent flows to two gravity sand filters operating in
parallel. Each filter has a 7.6 square foot area, and the sand is about three
feet deep. Wastewater from the sand filters is transferred to the 500-gallon
Stream A filter effluent tank.
Groundwater from mid-canyon (Stream B), which contains mostly organic compounds,
is transferred from the field storage tanks to one of three equalization tanks
(12,000-gallon capacity each) located at the on-site treatment plant. Stream A
effluent from the 500-gallon filter effluent tank is blended with Stream B
before discharging to activated carbon adsorption vessels. The two. carbon
adsorption vessels each have a 10-ton capacity for granular activated carbon and
are operated in series with a third vessel functioning as a transfer tank.
Effluent from the carbon adsorption vessels is transferred to one of four final
effluent storage tanks (80,000-gallon total capacity), before it is discharged
to the sewer at an average rate of 870,000 gallons per month. As necessary,
effluent from these storage tanks is used as backwash and other plant utility
water.
Sludge is pumped from the clarifiers to two 11,000-gallon sludge holding tanks.
The sludge from the two sludge holding tanks is fed to two plate-and-frame
filter presses. Depending on the pollutant content, the filtrate from the
filter press operation can be recycled to either the Stream A influent equal-
ization tanks, the Stream B influent equalization tanks, or the Stream A filter
effluent tank. Usually, the filtrate is pumped to the Stream A equalization
tanks. The sludge cake is discharged into containers and is hauled off-site by
a contractor for disposal at a RCRA approved Class I disposal site as hazardous
waste.
As part of the Stringfellow discharge permit, the effluent must be tested prior
to any discharge. Currently, the facility is allowed to fill two storage tanks
simultaneously, but is only required to test one tank.
The pretreatment system located at Stringfellow operates five days per week
during the daylight hours.
A one-day sampling episode was conducted by E.G. Jordan Co. at the Stringfellow
site on November 3, 1987. The decision was made at that time to return for a
supplemental five-day sampling episode if permission could be obtained. Upon
receipt of permission, Jordan personnel conducted the sampling as outlined in
this report.

ANALYTICAL QUALIFIERS
NR - Not required by contract at this time.
Value - B indicates the result is a value greater than or equal to the instrument
detection limit, but less than the contract required detection limit
(i.e., 10B). The contract required detection limit was raised to
100 jig/L for boron to compensate for contamination from borosilicate
glassware. The boron IDL, however, remains at 10 Mg/L.
U - Indicates element was analyzed for but not detected. Report with the
detection limit value (e.g., 10U).
E - Indicates a value estimated or not reported due to the presence of
interference. Explanatory note included on cover page.
M - Slope and Correlation Coefficient met (using MSA)
MM - Slope and Correlation Coefficient met on sample dilution.
RR - Slope and Correlation Coefficient not met on sample dilution for Furnace
analysis OR Spike Recovery limits not met for ICP analysis after dilution
and rerun.
D - Analysis of Duplicate of Spiked Sample failed required RPD.

STRINGFELLOW ACID PITS - EPISODE 1805
SITE DESCRIPTION
Stringfellow Acid Pit was operated by Stringfellow Quarry Co. from 1956 to 1972
as a hazardous waste disposal facility. The landfill disposal site was permit-
ted by the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB). About
34 million gallons of wastes, mostly from metal finishing, electroplating, and
DDT production, were deposited on approximately 17 acres of the site. In 1969
and 1978, excessive rainfall caused the ponds used for solar evaporation to
overflow, spreading contamination into the nearby town of Glen Avon. In July
1980, the RWQCB advocated total removal of all solids and liquids but the funds
were not available. In December 1980, RWQCB selected an interim plan that
included installation of channels to divert surface water, a gravel drain and a
network of wells for monitoring and extraction, and a clay core barrier dam
downgradient to stop subsurface leachate migration.
California placed Stringfellow at the top of the California priority list. The
State conducted a study in compliance with the National Oil and Hazardous
Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (the National Contingency Plan or NCP) to
obtain CERCLA funds. The results of the study indicated that on-site management
was more cost effective than total removal.
On July 22, 1983, Lee Thomas, Assistant Administrator of the Office of Solid
Waste and Emergency Response (OSWER), signed a Record of Decision (ROD) which
endorsed the State's request for funds for both existing activities and proposed
actions. The interim actions authorized in the ROD were:
o removal of DDT contaminated material
o operation of extraction wells upgradient of the clay barrier to
protect the barrier
o fencing the entire site to prevent entry
o erosion control to prevent destruction of a clay cap
The state also requested EPA to lead a fast track Remedial Investigation/Feasi-
bility Study (RI/FS) while the Department of Health Services completed the
long-term RI/FS.
As a result of the fast track RI/FS, a pretreatment system was installed to
treat the groundwater before its discharge to the Santa Ana Watershed Project
Authority. The series of extraction wells transfer two groundwater streams from
the contaminated canyon area to the field storage tanks. On-site groundwater
(Stream A), known to contain metal compounds and organics, is transferred from
the field storage tanks to one of four equalization tanks (each with a
12,000-gallon capacity) at the on-site treatment plant. Once equalization of
Stream A occurs, Stream A proceeds to a 400-gallon capacity rapid mix tank where
lime and caustic soda are added to aid precipitation and to control
acidity/alkalinity, and polymer is added to aid floe formation. The chemically
treated and mixed stream flows to two parallel-operating clarifiers.
4-90-61 B.12-1
-------
The thickened sludge is pumped from the clarifiers to the sludge holding tanks,
and the clarified effluent flows to two gravity sand filters operating in
parallel. Each filter has a 7.6 square foot area, and the sand is about three
feet deep. Wastewater from the sand filters is transferred to the 500-gallon
Stream A filter effluent tank.
Groundwater from mid-canyon (Stream B), which contains mostly organic compounds,
is transferred from the field storage tanks to one of three equalization tanks
(12,000-gallon capacity each) located at the on-site treatment plant. Stream A
effluent from the 500-gallon filter effluent tank is blended with Stream B
before discharging to activated carbon adsorption vessels. The two carbon
adsorption vessels each have a 10-ton capacity for granular activated carbon and
are operated in series with a third vessel functioning as a transfer' tank.
Effluent from the carbon adsorption vessels is transferred to one of four final
effluent storage tanks (80,000-gallon total capacity), before it is discharged
to the sewer at an average rate of 870,000 gallons per month. As necessary,
effluent from these storage tanks is used as backwash and other plant utility
water.
Sludge is pumped from the clarifiers to two 11,000-gallon sludge holding tanks.
The sludge from the two sludge holding tanks is fed to two plate-and-frame
filter presses. Depending on the pollutant content, the filtrate from the
filter press operation can be recycled to either the Stream A influent equal-
ization tanks, the Stream B influent equalization tanks, or the Stream A filter
effluent tank. Usually, the filtrate is pumped to the Stream A equalization
tanks. The sludge cake is discharged into containers and is hauled off-site by
a contractor for disposal at a RCRA approved Class I disposal site as hazardous
waste.
As part of the Stringfellow discharge permit, the effluent must be tested prior
to any discharge. Currently, the facility is allowed to fill two storage tanks
simultaneously, but is only required to test one tank.
The pretreatment system located at Stringfellow operates five days per week
during the daylight hours.

ANALYTICAL QUALIFIERS
NR - Not required by contract at this time.
Value - B indicates the result is a value greater than or equal to the instrument
detection limit, but less than the contract required detection limit
(i.e., 10B). The contract required detection limit was raised to
100 Mg/L for boron to compensate for contamination from borosilicate
glassware. The boron IDL, however, remains at 10 Mg/L.
U - Indicates element was analyzed for but not detected. Report with the
detection limit value (e.g., 10U).
E - Indicates a value estimated or not reported due to the presence of
interference. Explanatory note included on cover page.
M - Slope and Correlation Coefficient met (using MSA)
MM - Slope and Correlation Coefficient met on sample dilution.
RR - Slope and Correlation Coefficient not met on sample dilution for Furnace
analysis OR Spike Recovery limits not met for ICP analysis after dilution
and rerun.
D - Analysis of Duplicate of Spiked Sample failed required RPD.
R - Spike recovery limits met after rerun on ICP.

SYLVESTER - EPISODE 1325
SITE DESCRIPTION
The Gilson Road hazardous waste dump site is located in the City of Nashua, New
Hampshire, off Route 111, in the south easterly corner of that community. The
6-acre site had been used as a sand borrow pit for an undetermined number of
years. During the late 1960s, the operator of the pit began an unapproved and
illegal waste disposal operation, apparently intending to fill the excavation.
Household refuse, demolition materials, chemical sludges, and hazardous liquid
chemicals all were dumped at the site at various times. The household refuse
and demolition material were usually buried, while the sludges and hazardous
liquids were either mixed with the trash or were allowed to percolate into the
ground adjacent to the old sand pit. Some hazardous liquids were also stored in
steel drums which were either buried or placed on the ground surface.
The illegal dumping at the site was first discovered in late 1970. After
several court appearances, and court actions, an injunction was issued in 1976
which ordered the removal of all materials from the site. This injunction was
ignored by the operator.
The first indication that the illegal dumping had included hazardous wastes came
in November 1978 when State personnel observed drums being stored at the site.
A court order was issued in October 1979 prohibiting all further disposal of
hazardous wastes on the site.
It is impossible to estimate the total quantities of waste materials discarded
at the site. However, it has been documented that over 800,000 gallons of
hazardous waste were discarded there during a ten month period in 1979.
In 1981, initial investigations showed that there were high concentrations of
heavy metals and volatile and extractable organics in the groundwater under the
site. The contamination formed a plume in the groundwater which was moving from
the site toward Lyle Reed Brook at the rate of 0.8 to 1.6 feet per day.
The Gilson Road hazardous waste site has received remedial action under the
Comprehensive Emergency Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) since
November, 1981. EPA used CERCLA emergency funds to install a ground water
interception and recirculation system. This system was operated until October,
1982 when a slurry wall was completed. The State of New Hampshire developed a
remedial investigation and feasibility study in January, 1982 and a supplemental
study providing costs associated with various groundwater treatment rates in
July, 1982. A Record of Decision was signed in July, 1982 which approved the
installation of the slurry wall and pilot studies.
Upon completion of the slurry wall, a pilot treatment plant was constructed and
operated for several months. The data from this pilot study resulted in a
recommendation to construct a treatment plant capable of removing 90 percent of
the hazardous constituents within the slurry wall. This design was based on
evaluating the present and potential hazards to human health and environmental
targets previously identified in the risk assessment portion of the feasibility

study and supplement. A subsequent design modified to reduce operation and
maintenance costs, but still capable of 90 percent removal is presently
operating at the site.
The treatment system includes chemical precipitation, filtration, and air
stripping before the waste stream splits. Approximately 250 gpm is reinjected
through recharge trenches inside the slurry wall and the remaining flow
(- 50 gpm) receives biological treatment before reinjection to the groundwater
through trenches outside the slurry wall.

ANALYTICAL QUALIFIERS
NR - Not required by contract at this time.
Value - B indicates the result is a value greater than or equal to the instrument
detection limit, but less than the contract required detection limit
(i.e., 10B). The contract required detection limit was raised to
100 Mg/L for boron to compensate for contamination from borosilicate
glassware. The boron IDL, however, remains at 10 /zg/L.
U - Indicates element was analyzed for but not detected. Report with the
detection limit value (e.g., 10U).
E - Indicates a value estimated or not reported due to the presence of
interference. Explanatory note included on cover page.
M - Slope and Correlation Coefficient met (using MSA)
MM - Slope and Correlation Coefficient met on sample dilution.
RR - Slope and Correlation Coefficient not met on sample dilution for Furnace
analysis OR Spike Recovery limits not met for ICP analysis after dilution
and rerun.
D - Analysis of Duplicate of Spiked Sample failed required RPD.
R - Spike recovery limits met after rerun on ICP.

TIME OIL - EPISODE 1804
SITE DESCRIPTION
The Time Oil Site's history includes waste oil recycling processes and paint and
lacquer thinner manufacturing. The City of Tacoma maintains a treatment system
for a production well (Well 12A) near the Time Oil Site. Studies associated
with Well 12A resulted in the development of the present treatment system at the
Time Oil Site. Operation of the Well 12A treatment system by the City of Tacoma
continues on a seasonal basis to protect the wellfield.
Because the remedial investigation completed in late 1982 identified a general
source area only and not a specific site, EPA authorized in December 1982 a
study of historical solvent use and disposal practices in the suspect area.
Records of past investigations by the Tacoma/Pierce County Health Department,
Tacoma Water Division and the State Department of Ecology were reviewed and
interviews were conducted with owners of numerous businesses in the area. A
follow-up study focused on the historical uses and disposal of
1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane in the vicinity of Well 12A. These studies reduced
both the number and location of potential sources of the contamination.
In mid-May 1983, EPA authorized a supplemental remedial investigation to define
further the extent of groundwater contamination and to attempt to locate the
source. Four monitoring wells were installed and these, as well as the
previously installed monitoring wells, were sampled several times between July
and November. One of the new wells (near the Time Oil, Fleetline and Burlington
Northern property) showed levels of trichloroethylene, 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane
and 1,2-trans-dichloroethylene in the low parts per million (ppm) range;
substantially higher than detected in other wells.
With the apparent source area narrowed down substantially, EPA obtained air and
near surface soil samples along the Burlington Northern railroad spur adjacent
to the Time Oil plant. Air sampling results showed very low levels of
contaminants, but soil samples were very high in trichloroethylene and
1,1,2,2,-tetrachloroethane.
Research into the past ownership and activities on these properties indicated
that waste oil and solvent reclamation processes were used and that some of the
spent filter cake was used to build the railroad spur. The use of the Time Oil
site for oil recycling and related operations dates back to 1927 when
William Palin began operations under the name of Palin and Son. In 1933, the
business name was changed to National Oil and Paint. The two main activities of
the businesses were waste oil recycling and paint and lacquer thinner
manufacturing.
The waste oil recycling process consisted of collecting waste oil in a large
tank, adding chemicals such as sulfuric acid, and pressurizing and heating the
contents of the vessel. This process resulted in the formation for a tar-like
sludge on the bottom of the tank which was removed and disposed of. Absorbents
and clay materials were also added to the oil. The sludge was filtered from the
oil, and the resulting filter cake was disposed of or stored in various piles on
the site. Some of this sludge was also used for fill around the site.
4-90-61 B.14-1
-------
The paint and lacquer thinner manufacturing involved the use of many solvents
that were stored on the site in barrels which may have leaked their contents
into the soil.
Prior to purchase of the property by Time Oil, Inc., in 1964, the remaining
barrels and drums of solvent were removed from the site. After Time Oil
purchased the property, operations continued under the name National Oil and
Paint until 1972. During this period, National Oil was involved only in waste
oil recycling. Waste sludges and filter cakes were not known to be stored on
the site during this period.
In 1972, Time Oil leased the facilities to Golden Penn, Inc. Golden Penn
operated on the site until 1976, before going out of business as a result of a
destructive fire. In 1975 and 1976, Golden Penn was ordered by the State of
Washington to clean up the site by removing some of the filter cake and spilled
oil from the ground.
In 1976, Time Oil resumed operation at the site. Since then their operation has
been limited to canning oil brought to the site in bulk containers. In 1982,
the Burlington Northern Railroad spur was extended by Time Oil to its present
length so that oil could be delivered by tanker car. During the construction of
the spur, some of the filter cake or sludge material stored on the site was used
in the roadbed.
During the remedial investigation, the extent of soil and groundwater
contamination near the Time Oil plant was explored by means of surface soil
samples, shallow and deep soil borings and monitoring wells.
Chemical data for 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane and tetrachloroethylene taken from
soil borings along the spur and along a North-South line and data for
trichloroethylene shows these compounds are the ones of primary interest because
they are the contaminants at Well 12A. Many others, not found at Well 12A, were
also detected at much lower concentrations.
Along the east-west line of borings, high values of soil contamination are
located along the spur adjacent to the western Time Oil building and continuing
for a distance of at least 150 feet west of that building. Measured
concentrations of the contaminants is greater than 3,000 parts per billion (ppb)
of soil to depths of about 25 feet. Highest concentrations were found near the
surface at levels up to 1000 parts per million (ppm) of soil.
Along the north-south soil boring line, soil contamination concentrations to
about 3,000 ppb of soil were measured to a depth of about 20 feet on the north
end of the Fleetline property.
Continuity between this near surface soil contamination and that in the aquifer
was established. The total quantity of solvents contained in the soil from the
ground surface to the groundwater level was grossly estimated at about 1500 Ibs.
Groundwater contamination was found along the east-west line of borings in the
same boreholes as the major soil contamination, Levels ranged up to about
4-90-61 B.14-2
-------
11,000 ppb of water. Along the north-south line of borings, levels up to
863,000 ppb were measured under the Fleetline property. This southward
displacement of the highest aquifer contamination is likely to have resulted
from the previous pumping action of the wellfield.
Prior to startup of the Well 12A treatment system in July 1983, Well 12A had
been shutdown since mid 1981, except for brief periods of operation for water
sampling. However, other wells in the wellfield had been being operated on
demand.
The approximate contours of 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane that existed at the time
of startup of the treatment system shows the highest concentrations existed near
the Time Oil site with decreasing concentrations toward the wellfield. The
translation of the plume is toward operating wells (9A & 2B) . After pumping
began at Well 12A, the contamination levels increased at Well 12A and decreased
at the other production wells as the plume was preferentially drawn to Well 12A.
At the end of the pumping season in early November, the
1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane concentration at Well 12A was about 45 ppb, a decrease
from the mid August level of about 60 ppb. Following shutdown of the 12A
treatment system in November, the plume contours returned more nearly to their
original locations, and the concentration at Well 12A was reduced to about
5 ppb.
A liquid phase carbon adsorption system is used at the Time Oil facility to pump
and treat contaminated groundwater. Treated groundwater is discharged to a
stormwater sewer system. Sampling was conducted during the same week as
sampling at the Well 12A site.

ANALYTICAL QUALIFIERS
S This qualifier indicates that the response of a specific PCDD/PCDF isomer has
exceeded the normal dynamic range of the mass spectrometer detection system.
The corresponding signal is saturated and the reported analyte concentration is
a "minimum estimate" regardless of whether or not the ion-abundance ratio or
the retention time criteria are met. When the S qualifier is associated with
the reporting of "totals", its use is to warn the data user of the existence of
one (not necessarily from a specific isomer) or more saturated signals for a
given class of compounds.
I This flag identifies a labeled compound (e.g., internal standard) for which the
ion-abundance ratio or retention time criteria were not met due to the possible
presence of coeluting interferences. The concentration of unlabeled analytes
(computed relatively to the labeled standard in question) may be underestimated
while the percent recoveries of the flagged labeled standard may be higher than
reality.
Note that this qualifier may also be used if several unexpected signals are
found to elute in the vicinity of the labeled standards, even though the
former's identification criteria are met.
Q A "Q" qualifier is used to warn the data user of the existence of a
"quantitative interference" as defined in Section IV of Triangle Laboratories
User Manual. The reported concentrations and percent recoveries may be
questionable.
N Carbon-labeled internal standard characterized by a signal-to-noise ratio of
less than 10:1 will be flagged by using the qualifier "N". This qualifier will
be used for samples that underwent an authorized re-extraction and analysis as
a result of poor recoveries and for which a matrix effect was found to be
responsible for the poor recoveries.
• B This flag is used when the analyte is found in the associated laboratory method
blank sample as well as in the field sample. The flag is to warn the Data User
of the possible/probable blank contamination.
L This flag identifies detected analytes for which the reported concentrations
are below the working calibration curve of the GC/MS system.
E This data qualifier is used to warn the data user of the presence of signals in
the polychlorinated diphenylether channels that may interfere with the
determination of polychlorinated dibenzofurans.
RO When the ion-abundance ratio for carbon-labeled standards is outside the
acceptable range, an "RO" flag will be used to indicate the presence of
potential interference(s).
PR When used for a. specific analyte, the "PR" flag warns the Data User of the
existence of a poorly resolved chromatographic signal preventing positive
identification of the specific analyte.
X Other specific flags and footnotes may be required to properly define the
results. If used, they will be fully described in the Case Narrative. If more
than one is necessary, a different letter (e.g., Y, Z ..) will be used.

TYSON'S DUMP SITE - EPISODE 1568
(FIVE DAY SAMPLING EVENT)

-------
TYSON'S DUMP - EPISODE 1568
SITE DESCRIPTION
Tyson's Dump Site is an abandoned septic waste and chemical waste disposal site
reported to have operated from 1960 to 1970 within a sandstone quarry. The site
is located in Upper Merion Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. Several
formerly unlined lagoons were used to store various industrial municipal, and
chemical wastes. Spills and overflows reportedly occurred during the period of
operation, thus allowing for the dispersal of wastes throughout the site.
Surface water run-off and seeps contributed to off-site migration of the wastes
toward the Schuylkill River. The approximately 4-acre plot, which constitutes a
series of formerly unlined lagoons, is bordered on the east and west by unnamed
tributaries to the Schuylkill River, a steep quarry high-wall to the south, and
a Conrail railroad switching yard to the north. North of the Conrail tracks is
the Schuylkill River floodplain. The area of the former lagoon lies above the
100-year floodplain.
The Tyson's Site was owned and operated by companies owned by Franklin P. Tyson
and Fast Pollution Treatment, Inc. (FPTI). The stock of FPTI was owned by the
current owner of the land, General Devices, Inc. (GDI) and by Franklin P. Tyson.
The site was used by Tyson and FPTI for disposal of liquid septic tank waste and
sludges and chemical wastes which were hauled to the site in bulk tank trucks.
The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources (PADER) ordered GDI to
close the facility in 1973. Although some ponded water was removed in 1973, GDI
did not arrange for removal and off-site disposal of contaminated soils.
In January 1983, EPA investigated an anonymous citizen complaint about condi-
tions at Tyson's and subsequently determined that immediate removal measures
were required. These measures included the construction of a leachate collec-
tion and treatment system, drainage controls and cover over the site, and the
erection of a fence around the lagoon area.
Between January 1983 and August of 1984, EPA and its contractors conducted a
series of investigations primarily in what is now referred to as the On-Site
Area. The On-Site Area is defined here as that area south of the railroad
tracks and within or immediately adjacent to the security fence erected during
the emergency response measures. In December 1984, EPA issued its Record of
Decision (ROD) for the On-Site Area which recommended the following remedial
actions:
Excavation and off-site disposal of contaminated soils and wastes to a
permitted Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) landfill.
Upgrading the existing air-stripping facility to treat leachate,
shallow groundwater and surface run-on encountered during excavation.
Excavation and off-site disposal of contaminated sediments within the
tributary which receives effluent from the existing air stripper.
4-90-61 B.15-1
-------
Following issuance of the ROD, EPA began remedial design for the selected
alternative in January 1985. this design included additional borings throughout
the lagoon area to define the volume of material to be excavated. From August
1985 through November 1985, EPA performed additional borings and magnetometer
surveys throughout the lagoon area to better delineate the areas to be
excavated.
In the fall of 1985, CIBA-GEIGY Corporation agreed to conduct a. further inves-
tigation of the Off-Site Area, the need for which was described in the December
1984 EPA ROD. The Off-Site Area is defined here as that area outside of the
security fence including the deep aquifer (bedrock aquifer). EPA subdivided the
Off-Site Area into five sub-areas or "operable units." The Off-Site Operable
Units included the following:
Deep Aquifer (Operable Unit 1)
Hillside Area (Operable Unit 2)
Railroad Area (Operable Unit 3)
Floodplain/wetlands (Operable Unit 4)
Seep Area (Operable Unit 5)
On May 27, 1986, an Administrative Consent Order (AGO) was signed between EPA
and Ciba-Geigy Corporation for the Off-Site Operable Unit Remedial Investiga-
tion/Feasibility Study (RI/FS).
In November 1986, Ciba-Geigy Corporation initiated an on-site pilot study using
an innovative vacuum extraction technology process. Due to zoning restrictions,
the pilot study operated for only a short duration (less than 10 days).
However, in May 1987, the pilot study was recommended and operated for more than
three weeks.
In December 1986, Ciba-Geigy submitted a draft Off-Site Operable Unit RI Report
to EPA. This report indicated that much of the site-related contamination had
migrated off-site into the deep aquifer toward the Schuylkill River.
On March 24, 1987, a second addendum to the Off-site RI/FS Work Plan was
submitted to EPA by Ciba-Geigy Corporation. This addendum included a detailed
investigation of the Schuylkill River and the installation of wells on the north
side of the river.
In June and July 1987, four responsible parties, Ciba-Geigy Corporation,
Smith-Kline Beckman, Wyeth Laboratories, and Essex Group submitted a proposal to
EPA for clean-up of the on-site lagoon areas, upgrading of the leachate
collection system and clean-up of the tributary sediments. Additionally, the
parties proposed to initiate groundwater remediation measures since the
information contained in the draft Off-Site Operable Units RI report indicated
that much of the contamination formerly in the lagoon areas was now in the
aquifer system, downgradient of the site, and was discharging to the Schuylkill
River.
The parties' proposal was based on a Comprehensive Feasibility Study (CFS)
submitted to the Agency on June 15, 1987. The CFS was developed independently
4-90-61 B.15-2
-------
by Ciba-Geigy Corporation and was not formally commented on by EPA. The CFS
incorporated the results of the innovative vacuum extraction process for
clean-up of the lagoon soils, preliminary results of the Off-Site RI and
additional studies for the installation of groundwater recovery wells. Some of
the results of the CFS indicated that the contaminants in the bedrock underlying
the lagoons would be a source of continuing contamination of the backfilled
soil. The study raised the possibility that the remedy selected in the ROD
would be of limited effectiveness without the installation of a barrier, which
would limit upward movement of contamination from the underlying bedrock.
On July 29, 1987, Ciba-Geigy Corporation submitted the final draft Operable
Units RI report to EPA. This report concluded that much of the site
contamination, specifically the dense non-aqueous phase liquids (DNAPLS), were
in the underlying bedrock and aquifer. The report also found that a dissolved
portion of the DNAPLs was discharging into the Schuylkill River.
The leachate collection and treatment system constructed in 1983 is scheduled to
operate through 1988, and will then be dismantled. The air-stripping treatment
system was installed to remove volatile organic compounds from the collected
leachate. The plant is effective in removing many volatile organic compounds,
however, its efficiency for reducing some organic compounds, particularly
xylenes and 1,2,3 trichloropropane, is lower.

UNITED CHROME - EPISODE 1738
SITE DESCRIPTION
The United Chrome Products (UCP) site is a former industrial hard chrome plating
facility located at 2000 Airport Road in the Airport Research Industrial Park
complex, approximately 3.5 miles south of the city of Corvallis, Oregon. The
UCP site consists of a single building on approximately 1.5 acres of level
ground and is bounded by the Corvallis Airport. The city of Corvallis owns the
UCP site and all surrounding property.
UCP began electroplating operations in 1956. A dry well disposal pit was
created in the same year and was reportedly used until 1975 to dispose of floor
drippings, washings, and product rinsate from a sump within the building.
Liquids were reportedly neutralized with sodium hydroxide and/or soda ash prior
to disposal in the dry well. The specific composition of water discharged is
unknown; however, the nature of the facility indicates that spent plating bath
solutions, spent stripping and cleaning bath solutions, and sludges from plating
baths may have been disposed in the dry well. Quantities of waste discharges
are unknown, but have been estimated at 1,000 gallons per year. Use of the dry
well reportedly ceased in 1975. The amount and disposition of wastes produced
since then is unknown.
In November 1984, UCP announced that it would shut down and cease all
operations, and in May 1985, the equipment and contents of the building were
sold. The building is currently vacant, and the city of Corvallis has indicated
that it presently has no plans for alternative use of the site area and
building, or for demolition of the facility.
Environmental investigations at UCP conducted by the Oregon Department of
Environmental Quality (ODEQ) and EPA took place between November 1982 and .
December 1984. In July 1983, the site was scored using the Hazard Ranking
System and subsequently included on the National Priorities List. Investi-
gations indicated considerable chromium contamination in the soil beneath and
near the building and in both the upper and lower aquifers as a result of
leaching from the drywell and plating tanks. Investigations also indicated
contamination of approximately 2.4 million gallons of groundwater in the upper
unconfined and lower confined aquifers. Total chromium concentrations in the
upper aquifer are as high as 1.5 percent near the former plating tanks, but
range from 142 to 689 milligrams per liter (mg/1) in the surrounding monitoring
wells. Total chromium concentrations in the lower aquifer are generally an
order of magnitude lower; however, the primary drinking water standard of
0.05 mg/ has been exceeded in numerous deep well samples.
An immediate removal action initiated in July 1985 and completed in October 1985
stabilized the site after the company vacated the building. Perimeter fencing
was installed, and spent plating solution, drums, and containers were removed
from the site. All hazardous substance source materials are believed to have
been removed from the site with the exception of residual sludges in plating
tanks.

EPA completed a Feasibility Study (FS) addressing site cleanup alternatives in
August 1985. A Record-of-Decision (ROD) was issued by EPA Region X in September
1986 recommending limited excavation of contaminated soil from the dry well and
plating tank areas, and unconfined and confined aquifer groundwater extraction,
treatment, and surface discharge. Installation of two percolation barriers in
the excavated area was recommended to flush contaminated soil in the unsaturated
zone above the shallow groundwater table. The ROD recommended that the drainage
ditch within the contaminated area be culverted to protect the local surface
drainage ditch system from contamination. The objective of the selected
alternative is to remove contamination in the confined aquifer and control the
migration of further contamination from the upper unconfined zone. The cleanup
criteria in the confined aquifer is the drinking water standard of 0.05 mg/ for
chromium, because this aquifer is considered a drinking water source in direct
hydraulic connection with the local drinking water supply wells. The cleanup
criteria for the unconfined aquifer is also 0.05 mg/. The site boundary is
considered the point of compliance at which these criteria must be met.
UCP site remediation is currently in progress. Extracted groundwater is being
treated on-site. Groundwater is pumped to an influent holding tank and then
transferred to a sectioned tank. Metals are reduced chemically in the first
section. Groundwater then flows to a section where the pH is raised to between
9 and 10 to cause the formation of metal hydroxides and a polymer flocculant
solution is added. Groundwater then flows to the final section for settling and
clarification. After settling and clarification, the groundwater flows from the
sectioned tank through polishing filters (not operating during sample episode)
to one of the two holding tanks where total chromium and pH are monitored to
determine whether the water meets discharge standards. If treated water does
not meet discharge standards, it is recirculated through the treatment system.
Adequately treated water is discharged as a batch from the holding tank to an
on-site sewer which connects to the Corvallis wastewater treatment plant.

ANALYTICAL QUALIFIERS
NR - Not required by contract at this time.
Value - B indicates the result is a value greater than or equal to the instrument
detection limit, but less than the contract required detection limit
(i.e., 10B) . The contract required detection limit was raised to
100 /ig/L for boron to compensate for contamination from borosilicate
glassware. The boron IDL, however, remains at 10
U - Indicates element was analyzed for but not detected. Report with the
detection limit value (e.g., 10U) .
E - Indicates a value estimated or not reported due to the presence of
interference. Explanatory note included on cover page.
M - Slope and Correlation Coefficient met (using MSA)
MM - Slope and Correlation Coefficient met on sample dilution.
RR - Slope and Correlation Coefficient not met on sample dilution for Furnace
analysis OR Spike Recovery limits not met for ICP analysis after dilution
and rerun.
D - Analysis of Duplicate of Spiked Sample failed required RPD.
R - Spike recovery limits met after rerun on ICP.

VERONA - EPISODE 1223
SITE DESCRIPTION
The Verona Well Field is located approximately 1/2 mile northeast of Battle
Creek, Michigan. The well field incorporates property on both sides of the
Battle Creek River, consisting of three wells west of the river (in Bailey
Park), and 27 wells, with a major pumping/water treatment station, east of the
river. The area north and east of the well field is essentially rural. Land
use to the south and west is light to heavy industrial, with a residential area
directly south, and the Grand Trunk Western Railroad (Grand Trunk) marshaling
yard adjoining the well field on the east.
The Verona Well Field provides potable water to 35,000 residents of Battle
Creek, and part or all of the water supply requirements for two major food
processing industries and a variety of other commercial and industrial estab-
lishments. A review of the monthly pumping data indicates that the City
requires an average supply of water equal to approximately 10 million
gallons/day (MGD) with additional supplies needed to meet a peak demand
equalling 19 MGD.
During August 1981, while conducting routine testing of private water supplies,
the Calhoun County Health Department discovered that the water supply from the
Verona Well Field was slightly contaminated with volatile organic compounds
(VOCs). Follow-up testing by the Calhoun County Health Department and the
Michigan Department of Public Health (MDPH) revealed that ten of the City's
30 wells contained detectable levels of volatile compounds. The MDPH then began
weekly sampling of the well field.
During that same period, the MDPH began sampling private residential wells in
the area to the south of the well field. To date, approximately 80 private
wells have been found to contain varying concentrations of contaminants.
Several of the private wells have total VOC contamination levels on the order of
1,000 parts per billion (ppb); the private well with the highest reported level
had a dichloroethylene concentration of 3,900 ppb.
The Verona Well Field was listed as a National Priorities List site in July
1982. Since then several studies, investigations, and activities have been
conducted in the area.
The Michigan Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) investigated potential
sources of the contamination, and identified the Thomas Solvent Company facili-
ties, the Grand Trunk marshaling yard, and the Raymond Road Landfill as possible
sources of the volatile hydrocarbons. The EPA Technical Assistance Team (TAT)
conducted a groundwater survey during the spring of 1982, and further concluded
that the source of contamination was most likely in the vicinity of the Thomas
Solvent facilities. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) initiated a hydrological
investigation under contract with the City of Battle Creek in 1982. The study
examined the geology and groundwater flow patterns in the vicinity of the Verona
Well Field. The USGS has prepared a groundwater flow model (1985) to evaluate
the effects of pumping Verona wells on groundwater flow. EPA began Phase I of a
remedial investigation (RI) in November 1983.
4-90-61 B.17-1
-------
The purpose of the RI was to identify the sources of contamination to the well
field.
By January 1984, all but six of the City's 30 water supply wells in the Verona
Well Field were contaminated with VOCs from the advancing groundwater plume.
Under these conditions, it was apparent that there would not be a sufficient
supply of uncontaminated water to meet the City's peak demand in the summer of
1984. In response, EPA initiated a focused feasibility study (FFS) in February
1984 to address the water supply problem, while the remedial investigation on
the sources of contamination proceeded.
The FFS resulted in a Record-of-Decision by Region V, EPA in May 1984 that
recommended the installation of three new water supply production wells, and the
use of selected existing Verona wells to form a blocking well system to halt the
spread of contamination to the northernmost Verona wells. The purge water from
the blocking wells would be treated by an air stripper to be constructed at the
well field.
Blocking well operations were initiated in May 1984, with temporary carbon
adsorption beds providing treatment until the air stripper could be constructed.
Construction of the air stripper was completed in August 1984. Since operation
of the barrier wells began, the advance of the contaminant plume has been
halted. In its Record-of-Decision, EPA determined that the barrier system
should be maintained for a period of five years to insure adequate supplies of
uncontaminated water until final remedial measures are implemented.
The results of the Phase I remedial investigation were published in technical
memorandum in November 1984. The results confirmed that the Thomas Solvent
facilities are major sources of groundwater contamination, and also identified
an unknown source of perchloroethylene (PCE) from a location east of the well
field.
Phase II of EPA's remedial investigation was initiated in July 1984 to charac-
terize in greater detail the extent of VOC contamination at the Thomas Solvent
facilities, and to investigate the source of the eastern plume of PCE.
The Thomas Solvent Company operations at the Raymond Road facility consisted of
the packaging and distribution of liquid solvent commercial products, with the
exception of minor amounts of reclaimed acetone. The generators of the re-
claimed acetone hauled by Thomas are unknown, and since this activity repre-
sented a minor portion of Thomas Solvent business (less than 5 percent),
enforcement efforts have been directed at Thomas as owner/operator.
In February 1985, EPA determined that source control measures at the Verona Well
Field site should be carried out in separate operable units. Source control at
the Thomas Raymond Road facility was identified as the first operable unit that
should be conducted at the Verona Well Field site because of the relative
magnitude of contamination at the facility. The groundwater beneath and
surrounding the facility is contaminated at levels exceeding 100,000 ppb VOCs.
This is approximately 100 times more concentrated than levels in the majority of
the plume.
4-90-61' B.17-2
-------
Presently, contaminated groundwater from the Thomas Raymond Road facility is
pumped from several on-site extraction wells to the pretreatment facility at the
Verona Well Field site. This wastestream is discharged to two of three
activated carbon adsorption vessels before blending with groundwater from the
blocking well system. The blended streams collect in a wet well prior to being
pumped through an air stripping unit. Final discharge is to the Battle Creek
River.
Personnel from MDNR have noted that desorption of several compounds from the
granular activated carbon units occurs periodically. These compounds are not
air-stripped efficiently and have on occasion been found by MDNR in the final
effluent.

(FIVE DAY SAMPLING EVENT)

WELL 12A - EPISODE 1808
SITE DESCRIPTION
The Well 12A site in Tacoma, Washington is a production well with treatment
consisting of an air stripping system discharging treated water to either
Commencement Bay or to the City's water system. During the remedial investi-
gation, 11 monitoring wells were installed. By measuring groundwater elevation
in the wells, it was determined that the natural (undisturbed by well field
pumping) groundwater flow direction was from west to east with a relatively flat
gradient and therefore, a low flow velocity. The study also determined that the
major source of contamination was generally northeast of Well 12A. A specific
source was not identified. Under these conditions, with the wellfield shut down
most of the year, the contaminant plume moves slowly away from the production
wells. However, under the influence of production well pumping action, the
natural gradient is reversed and the contamination is drawn towards the
operating wells.
One conclusion of the Remedial Investigation was that operation of Well 12A
would intercept the contamination drawn from the source area even if other
production wells were pumping. In effect, Well 12A would provide a barrier to
the spread of contamination and protect the rest of the wellfield. If Well 12A
were not operated to provide a barrier, other operating wells would draw the
contaminant plume and would be lost for use.
To avoid the potential loss of the wellfield during the approaching summer peak
water demand period, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), in January
1983, authorized a focused feasibility study to determine a cost-effective
treatment system for the output of Well 12A. Treatment of the wellwater was
necessary to achieve a quality that would permit discharge to Commencement Bay,
or would permit its use in the City water system.
The initial remedial measure for Well 12A treatment was determined to be an air
stripping system consisting of five packed towers operating in parallel at a
total flow rate of 3,500 gallons per minute (gpm) and discharging treated water
to either Commencement Bay or the the City's water system depending on measured
quality and the City's needs. The decision level used to determine whether the
treated well water would be used in the City water system or discharged to the
bay was the 10"s level of hazard at the tap (after dilution in the system) .
Construction of this treatment system was authorized in late March 1983, and it
was started up in mid-July and operated by the City until early November.
Treatment performance was better than anticipated and effluent solvent concen-
trations did not reach the design levels. Treated water was therefore suitable
for use in the City's water system during the full pumping season.
Operation of the Well 12A treatment system by the City of Tacoma will continue
on a seasonal basis to protect the wellfield.
Research into the past ownership and activities on these properties indicated
that waste oil and solvent reclamation processes were used and that some of the
4-90-61
-------
spent filter cake was used to build the railroad spur. The use of the Time Oil
site for oil recycling and related operations dates back to 1927 when
William Palin began operations under the name of Palin and Son. In 1933, the
business name was changed to National Oil and Paint. The two main activities of
the businesses were waste oil recycling and paint and lacquer thinner
manufacturing.
The waste oil recycling process consisted of collecting waste oil in a large
tank, adding chemicals such as sulfuric acid, and pressurizing and heating the
contents of the vessel. This process resulted in the formation of a tar-like
sludge on the bottom of the tank which was removed and disposed of. Absorbents
and clay materials were also added to the oil. The sludge was filtered from the
oil, and the resulting filter cake was disposed of or stored in various piles on
the site. Some of this sludge was also used for fill around the site.
The paint and lacquer thinner manufacturing involved the use of many solvents
that were stored on the site in barrels which may have leaked their contents
into the soil.
Prior to purchase of the property by Time Oil, Inc., in 1964, the remaining
barrels and drums of solvent were removed from the site. After Time Oil
purchased the property, operations continued under the name National Oil and
Paint until 1972. During this period, National Oil was involved only in waste
oil recycling. Waste sludges and filter cakes were not known to be stored on
the site during this period.
In 1972, Time Oil leased the facilities to Golden Penn, Inc. Golden Penn
operated on the site until 1976, before going out of business as a result of a
destructive fire. In 1975 and 1976, Golden Penn was ordered by the State of
Washington to clean up the site by removing some of the filter cake and spilled
oil from the ground.
In 1976, Time Oil resumed operation at the site. Since then their operation has
been limited to canning oil brought to the site in bulk containers. In 1982,
the Burlington Northern Railroad spur was extended by Time Oil to its present
length so that oil could be delivered by tanker car. During the construction of
the spur, some of the filter cake or sludge material stored on the site was used
in the roadbed.
During the remedial investigation, the extent of soil and groundwater contami-
nation near the Time Oil plant was explored by means of surface soil samples,
shallow and deep soil borings and monitoring wells.
Chemical data for 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane and tetrachloroethylene taken from
soil borings along the spur and along a north-s6uth line and data for tri-
chloroethylene shows these compounds are the ones of primary interest because
they are the contaminants at Well 12A. Many others, not found at Well 12A, were
also detected at much lower concentrations.
Along the east-west line of borings, high values of soil contamination are
located along the spur adjacent to the western Time Oil building and continuing
4-90-61 B.18-2
-------
for a distance of at least 150 feet west of that building. Measured
concentrations of the contaminants is greater than 3,000 parts per billion (ppb)
of soil to depths of about 25 feet. Highest concentrations were found near the
surface at levels up to about 1,000 parts per million (ppm).
Along the north-south soil boring line, soil contamination concentrations to
about 3,000 ppb of soil were measured to a depth of about 20 feet on the north
end of the Fleetline property.
Continuity between this near surface soil contamination and that in the aquifer
was established. The total quantity of solvents contained in the soil from the
ground surface to the groundwater level was grossly estimated at about
1,500 pounds.
Groundwater contamination was found along the east-west line of borings in the
same boreholes as the major soil contamination. Levels ranged up to about
11,000 ppb of water. Along the north-south line of borings, levels up to
863,000 ppb were measured under the Fleetline property. This southward dis-
placement of the highest aquifer contamination is likely to have resulted from
the previous pumping action of the wellfield.

WESTERN PROCESSING - EPISODE 1739
SITE DESCRIPTION
The Western Processing site is located at 7215 South 196th Street in Kent, King
County, Washington. From 1953 to 1961, the site was leased and used as a
U.S. Army Nike Anti-Aircraft Artillery facility. In 1961, the property was sold
to Western Processing Company, Inc. (Western Processing). Originally, Western
Processing was a reprocessor of animal by-products and brewer's yeast. In the
1960s, the business expanded to recycling, reclaiming, treating, and disposing
of many industrial wastes, including waste oils, electroplating wastes, waste
pickle liquor, battery acids, steel mill flue dust, pesticides, spent solvents,
and zinc dross.
Discharges from Western Processing were monitored and regulated by the
Washington Department of Ecology (WDOE) until 1981. U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) inspected the site in March 1981 to determine compliance
with the new RCRA regulations and in September 1982, EPA initiated an
investigation. Western Processing had violated many EPA hazardous waste
management regulations. Approximately 100 of the 129 priority pollutants were
detected in the soil or groundwater on and off the Western Processing Site, or
in the adjacent Mill Creek.
After soil and groundwater sample analyses were completed in April 1983,
confirming widespread site contamination, EPA ordered cessation of site
operations. Western Processing could not comply with EPA's specifications to
clean up the site, so EPA conducted emergency cleanup operations funded by
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA).
The emergency response activities included removal of wastes (drums, liquids,
and solids) for off-site disposal, reorganization of the remaining on-site
drums, and excavation of contaminated soil from the reaction pond area.
A Record-of-Decision was signed in 1984. In July 1984, further site cleanup
activities were initiated as a result of the agreement reached between EPA,
WDOE, and the potentially responsible parties (PRPs) for the Phase I remedial
action program. These surface cleanup activities were completed in November
1984 under the direction of Chemical Waste Management, Inc. (consultant for the
PRPs).
The selected alternative for the Phase II remedial action program included
installation of a slurry wall around the site to a depth of 42 to 46 feet below
ground and pumping and treating the groundwater from the shallow aquifer
directly below the site and contaminated groundwater from deeper in the aquifer
that has migrated off-site. More than 200 well points, laid out in a grid
across the site, will be used to extract groundwater from below the site.
Extraction wells located off-site will be used to pump contaminated groundwater
from deeper in the aquifer. The on-site well points and off-site pumping wells
are divided into six different cells so that the pumping zones and the pumping
rate from each cell can be controlled. Interspersed amongst the on-site well
points are infiltration drains that will be used to recycle clean water through
the unsaturated zone and flush contamination from the shallow soils. The
4-90-61 B.19-1

groundwater was pumped initially at a rate of 100 gallons per minute (gpm) and
routed through an on-site pretreatment plant designed by Chemical Waste
Management, Inc. (and subcontractors HDR and Canoni). The pumping system and
pretreatment plant are designed to pump and treat the groundwater at a rate of
up to 200 gpm. Pretreated groundwater is discharged directly into the city
sewer system for additional treatment by activated sludge at the Renton
wastewater treatment plant.
Negotiations were initiated in 1986 between EPA, WDOE and the POTW authority of
Metropolitan Seattle (Metro) to discuss the feasibility of discharging
contaminated water from the Western Processing site. Initially, Metro was
reluctant to accept the wastewater because of concerns about liability. In
April 1987, EPA entered a Consent Decree to expedite the Phase II clean-up
effort. Chemical Waste Management, Inc., submitted a contract to Metro for
discharge from the site in the summer of 1987. After Metro received written
indemnification assurance from EPA and WDOE regarding environmental consequences
associated with accepting the contaminated wastewater, Metro developed initial
local limits for acceptable loading from the site.
The Western Processing pretreatment plant operates 24 hours per day, and will
operate for a minimum of seven years. The pretreatment plant process includes
sequentially: air stripping with carbon adsorption and hot gas regeneration
systems to control volatile emissions; phenol oxidation; metals reduction; pH
adjustment; flocculation; inclined-plate clarification; and sludge thickening.
A stand-by granulated carbon adsorption system to treat the groundwater is also
in place. The sludge generated from the pretreatment plant is disposed at the
Arlington, Oregon, hazardous waste landfill.

ANALYTICAL QUALIFIERS
NR - Not required by contract at this time.
Value - B indicates the result is a value greater than or equal to the instrument
detection limit, but less than the contract required detection limit
(i.e., 10B) . The contract required detection limit was raised to
100 Mg/L for boron to compensate for contamination from borosilicate
glassware. The boron IDL, however, remains at 10
U - Indicates element was analyzed for but not detected. Report with the
detection limit value (e.g., 10U) .
E - Indicates a value estimated or not reported due to the presence of
interference. Explanatory note included on cover page.
M - Slope and Correlation Coefficient met (using MSA)
MM. - Slope and Correlation Coefficient met on sample dilution.
RR - Slope and Correlation Coefficient not met on sample dilution for Furnace
analysis OR Spike Recovery limits not met for ICP analysis after dilution
and rerun.
D - Analysis of Duplicate of Spiked Sample failed required RPD.
R - Spike recovery limits met after rerun on ICP.

WHITEHOUSE OIL - EPISODE 1241
(ONE DAY SAMPLING EVENT)
891003-mll
-------
WHITEHOUSE OIL - EPISODE 1241
SITE DESCRIPTION
The community of Whitehouse, Florida is located within 0.25 miles east and
southeast of the site. Two major east-west highways, U.S. Highway 90 and
Interstate 10, are approximately 0.5 miles south of the site. A low-density
residential area is located west and northwest of the site, and several miles
northwest of the site is the Cecil Field U.S. Naval Air Station. The area north
and northeast of the site is largely undeveloped land comprised of pine forests
and cypress swamp.
The Whitehouse Waste Oil Pits occupy approximately seven acres on an upland
area. The northern and western sides of the site border a swamp system through
which the Northeast Tributary runs. The stream originates from a 220-acre
cypress swamp located approximately 0.5 miles upstream from the site. The
southern side of the site is bordered by open grassland, with the exception of
the southwestern corner, which is a private residence.
The site consists of seven unlined pits where waste oil sludge, acid, and
contaminated waste oil from an oil reclaiming process were disposed. Allied
Petroleum constructed the pits to dispose of waste oil sludge and acid from its
oil reclaiming process. The first pits were constructed in 1958, and by 1968
the company had constructed and filled seven pits. Allied Petroleum then went
bankrupt, and most of the property transferred to the City of Jacksonville for
nonpayment of taxes. After they were abandoned by Allied Petroleum, the pits
remained an "open dump" for several years. It is reasonable to assume that
indiscriminate dumping occurred during that time.
The waste oil recovery process used by Allied Petro Products was the
Acid-Clay Process. This process forms, as by-products, a waste-acid tar and
spent acidic clays which are corrosive. The seven unlined pits contained 'an
estimated 127,000 cubic yards of waste. Stabilization activities have increased
the volume of contaminated material to an estimated 240,000 cubic yards.
Major contaminants at the site include hexavalent chromium, arsenic, lead,
phenols, benzene, and polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) (fluoranthene,
phenanthrene, pyrene).
Improvements made to the site by the City of Jacksonville in 1980 and the
initial remedial measures (IRM) done under cooperative agreement with the State
have significantly reduced the hazards at the site and ensured that no
large-scale spills would occur again. Erosion continues to be a problem at the
site. Testing by the State indicated that heavy rains and eroding dike walls
have allowed pollutants to slowly seep into surface water. As expected, soil
samples from beneath the clay cap of the pits show gross contamination by heavy
metals and low levels of a few organic compounds. The only soils beyond the
pits which are badly contaminated are the soils in the swamp or floodplain north
of the pits, between the pits and the northeast tributary.
4-90-61 B.20-1
-------
The quality of surface water was tested at five sampling stations in the
drainage basin. These samples show that the surface water quality in McGirt's
Creek significantly improved since 1977. This improvement is directly related
to the work done by the local, state, and federal agencies which prevented
further large scale contamination. However, the effect of the pits is still
evident since the surface water contains heavy metals and a lowered pH. The
water quality of the creek is also threatened by the seepage which has polluted
the soil in the flood plain north of the pits.
Areas of potential groundwater contamination were located by conductivity tests.
Thirty-six wells at a variety of depths were installed to sample groundwater.
The shallow groundwater (7 to 15 feet) between the pits and the northeast
tributary is grossly contaminated by heavy metals and organic compounds. Only
low levels of organic compounds were detected across the northeast tributary and
beyond the south drainage ditch. Thus, shallow groundwater contamination seems
to be localized close to the site.
Vertical migration has reached into the aquitard (35 - 60 feet). The deeper
wells (100 to 125 feet) close to the site show low levels of heavy metals and
organic compounds. This is of special concern since these wells are in the same
aquifer used by many residents. All the residential wells near the site that
were downgradient of the pits were tested during the remedial investigation. No
contamination from the pits was detected in any of the wells. The State will
continue to monitor quality of the residential wells.
The eventual receptor for surface runoff is McGirt's creek which empties into
the St. John's River approximately ten miles downstream. Neither of these
bodies of water supply drinking water, but are areas of environmental concern.
As late as 1983 (prior to completion of the IRM), seepage of contaminated
leachate through the dike walls was observed. State bioassays using a weak
concentration of the leachate showed it to be very toxic. Direct contact 'with
leachate and leachate contaminated surface water is a concern.
The domestic water supply aquifer beneath the site is protected by a fairly
consistent aquitard. Sampling has shown contamination in the shallow aquifer
and evidence of contamination moving down into the aquitard (permeability about
10-5 centimeters/second). Groundwater degradation is an immediate concern and a
reason for taking preventative action.
Although the IRM was constructed as an attempt to reinforce the dike walls and
prevent further spread of contamination, this measure is not adequate for long-
term containment of the waste. To compound site problems, erosion caused by
motorcycles, dirt buggies, heavy rainfall, and hurricanes pose additional risks
to all population groups surrounding the site.
Monitoring Wells MW-5 and MW-9, and RW-1 (4-inch pump test well) are being
considered in future remediation efforts as representative wells to be used as
extraction wells for a pump and treat system. These wells would be recommended
sample points for an EPA-ITD sampling effort.
