CHAPTER 1:  PROJECT SUMMARY
    Congress passed  the  Comprehensive
Environmental  Response,  Compensation,
and  Liability  Act (CERCLA)  in  1980  to
address the environmental threats posed by
the  nation's   uncontrolled  waste  sites.
CERCLA directed the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) to  identify the sites
that  pose the  greatest relative danger to
human  health or  the environment.   In
response, EPA developed a site assessment
process to evaluate and screen sites within
the  Superfund  program.     The  main
components of the site assessment process
(see figure on next page) are:

    CERCLIS.   The  CERCLA  Information
    System (CERCLIS) is EPA's data base to
    record and track activities  at  all sites
    discovered. EPA learns of sites in many
    ways,  including federal  programs, state
    and   local   programs,  and   citizen
    notifications.

    Preliminary Assessment.   EPA or  the
    state conducts a preliminary assessment
    (PA) at every site entered into CERCLIS.
    The PA — a relatively low cost review of
    available information — determines if the
    site warrants further CERCLA  action.
    After the PA, EPA decides either to send
    the  site  forward  in the  assessment
    process or to  classify the site as NFRAP
    (no further  remedial   action   planned
    under CERCLA).

    Site Inspection. The site inspection  (SI)
    involves more detailed  data collection,
    including   environmental  sampling.
    Based  on  the   SI,   EPA   either
    recommends  scoring the  site  with  the
    Hazard Ranking  System  (MRS)   or
    classifies the site as NFRAP.

    Hazard Ranking System.  The MRS
    uses information gathered  during the PA
    and SI to screen  and  identify sites
    consistently for the National  Priorities
    List (NPL).   The  MRS  results in a
    numerical  score  that is used  to set
    priorities   for   more   detailed   site
    investigation. In general, sites scoring
    28.50 and above are added to the NPL,
    and sites  scoring below 28.50  are
    classified as NFRAP.

    National  Priorities  List.    The  NPL
    identifies sites that warrant more detailed
    evaluation   and   possible   remedial
    response.  Adding sites to the NPL is a
    rulemaking process—sites are proposed
    for the NPL in the Federal  Register, the
    proposal is subject to public comment,
    and those  sites with MRS scores that
    remain   above   28.50   after  public
    comment become final NPL sites.

    This report, which is one  in a series
providing information on the nature of the
sites being evaluated by the Superfund site
assessment   program,  characterizes   a
sample of  Region  7 sites  in  CERCLIS.
Separate reports are available  for the other
nine Regions and for the nation as a whole.
Other reports in  this series  cover the NPL
characterization project, which provides  a
"snapshot"  of  sites  on the  NPL  as  of
February 1991.  National and Regional NPL
characterization reports also are available.
1.1    PROJECT OBJECTIVES

    In September 1988,  EPA undertook a
project to characterize the 29,461 sites then
in CERCLIS.  The project's main objective
was to develop a data base containing site-
specific information that could be used to:

•   characterize a sample of CERCLIS sites
    that  would   be  representative  of all
    CERCLIS sites; and

•   increase understanding of the types of
    sites investigated under the Superfund
    site assessment program.

-------
    Because the characterization  is based
on information collected during the PA stage
of the  Superfund  process,  it does  not
represent a comprehensive characterization
of CERCLIS sites.  Hundreds of sites pass
through the PA stage  annually.   EPA's
understanding  of sites may  change  after
more detailed investigations are conducted
during the remainder of the site assessment
and  remedial  stages of  the  Superfund
process. The figure on the previous page
illustrates the position of the PA stage in the
overall   Superfund  process.   This report
provides a summary of the characteristics of
CERCLIS  sites  in  Region 7 as  they  are
understood at the time of the  PA.
1.2   GENERAL METHODOLOGY

   EPA Regional contractor staff collected
information for the CERCLIS characterization
project by reviewing PA reports and other
PA-level information found in EPA Regional
site files.  More detailed documentation from
later stages of the site assessment process,
such as SI reports, was not reviewed.  Sites
with inadequate  PA-level  information  were
not included in the project.

    The CERCLIS characterization  project
was based on  a randomly selected sample
of  CERCLIS  sites.    To  avoid  possible
Regional   bias,  a  fixed  percentage  —
approximately 8% — of each Region's sites
was chosen for review.  However, because
of the small  number of sites in Regions  8
and 10, a higher percentage of sites from
these Regions was selected. A total of 2,386
sites was evaluated.   The table  below
indicates  the number of sites evaluated for
each Region.

    The substantial  uncertainty in PA-level
information, the expected variability in the
results across sites, and the varying number
of CERCLIS sites  in each Region were taken
into account  when  the  sample size was

determined.  EPA decided that a sampling
error of 10% would be acceptable, as long
as there was a reasonable  likelihood (i.e.,
90%) that sampling error would not exceed
this level.  Thus, the sample size was chosen
to give 90% certainty that estimation  errors
due to sampling would be 10% or less.
1.3    RESULTS

    The results of this report are presented
in chart form  in  Chapters 3  through  8.
These charts include information about: site
description, owner/generator, regulatory and
response  history,  waste  description, site
environment, and water use. The box at the
bottom of this  page provides information to
assist the  reader in interpreting the charts.

    Listed below are notable findings based
on  the  sample  of  Region 7 sites  in  the
CERCLIS characterization project.

•   A third of the sites are located in rural
    areas; 36% are located in urban  areas
    (Chart 1).

•   Nearly 20% of  the  sites  manage(d)
    wastes in industrial landfills; about 30%
    manage(d)  wastes  in drums and/or
    containers (Chart 4).
    Over half of the  sites are  owned by
    private  industry; a third are  owned by
    private  individuals  (Chart 8).

    Approximately  60%  of  the  sites  are
    active facilities (Chart 10).

    Nearly  60% of the sites contain wastes
    generated by manufacturing industries
    (Chart 11).

    More   than   half   of  the   sites  are
    recommended for further action  (Chart
    20).
1.4    ORGANIZATION OF DOCUMENT

    This document consists of eight chapters
and two appendices.  Chapter 2 provides
more detailed information on data collection
activities and includes the data collection
form and instructions. Chapters 3 through 8
present the results in chart form. Appendix
A lists all of the individual responses for the
"other" response  category, which are not
displayed separately  on  the  charts  in
Chapters 3 through 8. Appendix B contains
a  map  that  shows  the  locations  of the
Region 7 sites in the  CERCLIS sample.
                           INFORMATION ABOUT THE CHARTS

      Data were generated by reviewing the files of a sample of Region 7 CERCLIS sites between
      October 1988 and February 1989. Except where noted, charts depict information for all 160
      sites reviewed — approximately 7.7% of the 2,074 Region 7 sites in CERCLIS as of September
      1988.

      PA-level information served as the primary source of information.

      Percentages on some charts do not total exactly 100 percent due to rounding.

      Percentages on some bar charts total to greater than 100 percent because multiple responses
      to certain questions were possible.

-------
CHAPTER 2:   DATA COLLECTION METHODS
    Before  the  CERCLIS  characterization
project, information on CERCLIS sites was
primarily  accounting data and significant
program milestones (e.g., completion date of
the PA).  The project compiled site-specific
information  on   the  characteristics  of
CERCLIS sites.  This chapter describes the
data collection activities.  The table on the
next page summarizes the process used to
collect data.
2.1    DATA COLLECTION
      PROCEDURES

   After developing the overall approach to
the CERCLIS characterization project, EPA
prepared a data collection form (see Section
2.4).   The form  was  designed to capture
important site-specific information needed for
characterization. An instruction manual (see
Section  2.5) was developed to  promote
consistency and accuracy in data collection.
The data collection  form and  instruction
manual  should  be  consulted  for  a  full
explanation  of the definitions used  in the
report.   Data collection  procedures were
tested on Region 10 sites. As a result, a few
modifications  were  made  to  the  data
collection form.   The   modified form,  as
shown in Section 2.4, was used in Region 7
as well as the other eight Regions.
using PA-level information in Regional site
files  because only PA-level information is
common to  all  CERCLIS  sites.    Many
CERCLIS sites are classified as NFRAP after
the PA, and, therefore,  using  information
from Sis and MRS packages would bias the
characterization toward the worst sites in
CERCLIS.  After data for all the sample sites
were  collected   and   verified,  the
Headquarters project team  compiled one
national data base. The data base was then
analyzed to calculate response frequencies
for each of the data fields.
2.3   QUALITY ASSURANCE/
      QUALITY CONTROL

    EPA   performed  extensive  quality
assurance/quality control  (QA/QC) checks
on all the  data collection forms completed
for  the  project to ensure  accuracy  and
consistency.  The first level of QA/QC was
conducted at the Regional office, followed
by  a   second  level  QA/QC   at   EPA
Headquarters. After information on the data
collection forms was entered into the  data
base, the data base was reviewed to ensure
that the  information  had  been  properly
transferred. In addition, the charts produced
for this and all other reports were checked
for consistency with the data base.

2.5   DATA COLLECTION FORM INSTRUCTIONS1

      The CERCLIS Statistics Data Collection Form has been designed to standardize hazardous
waste site information for input into a data base.  This data base will be used to perform a
statistical characterization of waste  sites in CERCLIS.  A random sample of sites has been
chosen for each Region, and the site files will be reviewed for data compilation. The CERCLIS
Statistics Data Collection Form is designed so that all required information can be obtained by
a review of preliminary assessment (PA) files.  Only PA files are to be reviewed because all
CERCLIS sites should have, at a minimum, a PA. Again, the goal of this study is to characterize
CERCLIS sites, and a PA is the only type of investigation that is common to all CERCLIS sites.

      It is important that all questions on the form are answered even if the appropriate answer
is "unknown." Estimates based on best professional judgment are encouraged. In some cases,
the response "other" can be used along with a brief narrative if the available choices do not
adequately describe the site or situation.  RESPONDENTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO USE THE
"OTHER" CATEGORY AS MUCH AS NEEDED.  Additional information to support the use of this
category should be included in the "Comments" section at the end of the form.

      The Data Collection Form contains six sections which are listed below.  The name of the
site should be written on the front in the top margin.  The form should be completed in dark
pencil so that later QA/QC corrections to the form will still result in an easily legible document
for data  entry purposes.

      Section 1 -  Record Information, which provides basic  identification information;

      Section 2 -  Site Description, which describes the ownership, status, and history of the
                 site;

      Section 3 -  Waste Description, which describes the type and quantity of waste present
                 at the site;

      Section 4 -  Environmental/Demographic Information, which provides information on water
                 supply, population, and environmental damage;

      Section 5 -  Regulatory and Response History, which covers any regulatory or remedial
                 actions that occurred  prior to the PA;

      Section 6 -  Comments, which provides  space for a  brief description  of the site and
                 comments on data availability or associated problems with completing the
                 form.

Section  1  - Record Information

      1.    Site Number: This number is the record key, or primary identifier, for the site. It is
           essential that this number be entered correctly on the form. The site number is the
           12-digit, EPA ID number for that site.
   1 This section is a slightly edited version of the actual instruction manual that
accompanied the data collection form.
                                         11

-------
     2.    Source of Information: This entry will identify the classes of PA-level information
           that were available for data collection.   Only information normally collected  in
           support of a PA can be used (exception:  topographic maps from any source are
           permitted). The primary source of information should be the PA report.  Additional
           information may be obtained from the PA form, usually completed at the same time
           as the PA report. The file may also contain a revised PA report and/or form and this
           type of information may be used in the data collection effort.  Some files may not
           contain a PA, but contain enough PA-type information to complete the form.  Enter
           the date of the most recent PA-type information used in "PA date."  It is important
           that information dated after this date be excluded.  (Using such information would
           bias the  statistical analysis of the information  in the CERCLIS data base.)  Other
           data in the file such as letters or reports dated prior to this date may be used and
           recorded under the "other" entry.

     3.    Form Completed  By:  The data collector should  enter his or her name and
           organization in the spaces provided.  This will  facilitate QA/QC review.

     4.    Unacceptable Site File Characteristics: The purpose of this data field is to identify
           the reasons for  classifying  a site as unacceptable.  A file may be rejected from the
           data collection effort for the following reasons:

                 a.    The file contains little or no pertinent information collected  at the PA
                      stage.
                 b.    The file does  not  contain a  PA report or form.   If the file contains
                      sufficient information to complete most of the data collection form, the
                      file may  be used.   This  determination  is  based in part  on the
                      evaluator's professional judgment.

           Unacceptable site  files may contain sites with the following site characteristics.
           These additional items should be identified in this data field, if applicable.

                 c.    The site  is a Federal facility.  (Please note:  A  Federal  facility  is
                      considered unacceptable only if there is not enough information  to
                      complete the form.)
                 d.    In some cases, the site could not be located during the investigation.

           This data field is the only one that need not be filled in. If the file contains enough
           information to complete the form, then this data field does not apply and should be
           left blank; go on to fill out the remainder of the form.  However,  if the site file is
           deemed  unacceptable, check all the appropriate boxes in data fields #1 -4 and stop.
           The remainder of the form  should not be filled out. Go on to the next site file.

Section 2 - Site Description

      1.    Coordinates: Enter the coordinates, latitude and longitude, of the site in degrees,
           minutes, seconds, and tenths of seconds.   If a tenth of a second is not available at
           the site, enter  zero in the appropriate space.  Because latitude and  longitude
           provide  necessary input for interaction with  other data  bases, it  is particularly
           important that these values be provided.  If they are not available, leave blank and
           check "unknown."  In this situation, supply  enough information  (for example,
                                          12

-------
      township and range) on the site location in the "Comments" portion of the form to
      locate the site at another time. An area map may be attached if available. Further,
      if the values reported in the PA are known to be incorrect, please comment on this
      and provide the correct coordinates if available.  For this data field only, information
      dated after  the "PA date" may be used to obtain the correct coordinates.

2.     Setting:   Check  the  appropriate  box  to indicate the character of the area
      surrounding the site. "Urban" indicates central city areas, "suburban" indicates sites
      within metropolitan areas, and "rural" indicates sites outside  metropolitan areas.
      Select the one setting that best describes the site. This information may be derived
      from the PA or from an accompanying map.  Generally, the number of homes and/or
      industrial buildings indicated on a map  may be used to estimate the site setting.
      Since the character of the area is relative to the population density, a site in the
      center of a city like Roanoke Rapids, which is located in rural North Carolina, would
      be classified as "urban."

3.     Location Land Use/Site Use: The  predominant land uses within approximately 1
      mile of the site location should  be determined and all appropriate descriptions
      checked.  This  information may  be obtained from the  PA report text or from an
      accompanying map.  If the  "other"  category is  used, provide information so that
      QA/QC or  data entry  reviewers can determine the appropriate  category.  For
      consistency, the following descriptors should be used, when  appropriate, for the
      "other" category:

      •     park  (park, parks, parks and  recreation, etc.)
      •     school

      The following site uses, past or  present, should also be identified in the "other"
      category:

      •     railroad (railroad yard,  rails, rail yard, etc.)
      •     airport (airstrip, runways, etc.)
      •     mining
      •     military

4.     Current Ownership: Check  the appropriate box to indicate the type of ownership
      of the site  at the  time the PA was performed.  For purposes of this data field,
      ownership refers to owners and/or operators. If the property is leased, check the
      box which best describes the operator of the site unless the property is leased from
      a government entity. In this case, the government entity should be identified on the
      form.  Make a note that the site is located  on leased property in the "Comments"
      section.

5.     Ownership When Contaminated: Check the appropriate box to indicate the type
      of site ownership at the time  of contamination. As in item #4,  ownership refers to
      owner and/or operator.  If the property is leased, follow the procedure described in
      item #4.  Sites that are not, or have  never been,  contaminated should be identified
      in the "other" category.
                                    13

-------
6.     Area of Site: Indicate the area of the site, along with the appropriate units, which
      was/is contaminated, or check "unknown" and leave blank.  If a map accompanies
      the PA, it can be used to  estimate the area of contamination. Use 0.1  square feet
      as a  default value to indicate that no waste was found.  If the area of the site is
      reported as a range, use the midpoint of the range.  Again, this data field is
      intended to capture the area of contamination.  So, for example, if there is a large
      facility but only a small area is actually contaminated, only the area of contamination
      should be entered. If the specific area of contamination is unknown, use the area
      of the facility, if reasonable (use best professional  judgment), and note this in the
      "Comments" section.

7.     Site Status: Check the appropriate box to indicate the status of the site at the time
      of the PA, not at the time of contamination. Active sites are those which treat, store,
      or dispose of hazardous materials/wastes.  Sites that have changed ownership or
      operations  are  still considered  active if the new operations  involve  hazardous
      materials/wastes.  Inactive sites are those at which treatment, storage, or disposal
      activities no longer occur. Check "active" for those sites that currently have both
      active and inactive storage or disposal units.

8.     Years of Operation:  Enter the beginning and ending years of waste treatment,
      storage, and/or disposal at the site. If operations at the site are ongoing, enter the
      PA date for the ending date. Check "unknown" if the beginning and/or ending years
      of operation are not known. For consistency, if waste activities occurred during only
      one year (e.g., one-time event, accidental spill), the years of operation of the facility
      should be entered.

9.     Industry Responsible for Generating Material:  Check all boxes that indicate
      industries responsible for generating the wastes that occur at the site.  This refers
      to the industry responsible for the waste, not the original product. For example, if
      a hardware store has drums  of pesticides which  leak, the  responsible industrial
      category is "retail" and not "manufacturing."  If not all of the waste can be associated
      with specific industries, it is appropriate to also check "unknown." It is important to
      try to categorize the industry into one of the types listed for statistical  analysis. If
      these listed industry types aren't applicable, check "other." Further information may
      be provided under the "Comments" section of the Data Collection Form.  Some brief,
      and by no means inclusive, examples of the types of industries that may be grouped
      into broader general categories listed on the form include:

      •     manufacturing  - agricultural: tractor manufacturing, seed treating, organic
           fertilizer production
      •     manufacturing  - fabricated  metals:  car manufacturing plants, metal plating
            industries
      •     mining - oil and gas:  drilling muds

      For the majority of cases, the "other" category should be used if a specific general
      or subcategory of another type is not  obvious.  Examples of "other"  categories
      include:

      •     military        •    POTW                •    storage facility
      •     DOE          •    recycling              •    municipal landfill
                                     14

-------
    One special case  involves municipal landfills.   Often,  not all of the industries
    responsible for generating the waste  material deposited  in a municipal landfill are
    known. In this situation, check those industries that are known and also check "other"
    with the notation "municipal landfill."

10.  Site Activities/Waste Deposition: Check the appropriate boxes to indicate what type
    of treatment, storage, or disposal operations occur/occurred at the site.  Select all of
    the appropriate waste deposition activities that are found at the site. Also, if product
    or feedstock storage occurs  at the site, identify this in the "other" category.  With
    respect to "tanks," if the type of tank is not known, assume above ground unless the
    site is a gasoline retail station. "Airborne release" should be checked if an incinerator,
    boiler, fire pit, excessive dust,  etc., are present at the site. "Industrial monofill" should
    be checked when only one specific waste type is landfilled at the site.  For example,
    if an industry generates only one kind of waste, and this waste is the only waste that
    is deposited in the landfill, then industrial  monofill  should be checked.  "Industrial
    dump," on the other hand, refers to those situations where waste was/is dumped "out
    the back door" (e.g., release  of wastes directly to the ground).  Once again, try to
    categorize the activities or check "other" and supply a description.  Examples of
    "other" categories include:

    •      fire pit
    •      uncontrolled liquid releases to sewer system
    •      product/feedstock storage

11.  How Identified: Check  the  appropriate box to indicate  how the site was initially
    identified to the EPA Superfund Program. Note that there are major categories and
    subcategory boxes that need to be checked. Examples of possible "other" categories
    include:

    •      congressional inquiry (e.g., Eckhardt List)
           ERRIS listing

12.  Material Deposited By: In indicating the source of the material, please note that the
    categories for "owner" are intended to include "operators,"  or whoever is responsible
    for the facility. Examples of the "other" category include:

    •      no contamination/waste deposition evident
    •      present and former owner

13.  Date Discovered:   Enter two digits for the month,  day, and year that the site was
    identified to the EPA Superfund Program.   For  example,  June 27, 1982 would be
    entered as 06/27/82.   Because date discovered refers to the date that Superfund
    became aware of the site, dates prior to 1980 are usually not acceptable.  In the event
    that the day or month is unknown, use "01" as the default value, for each. If the date
    cannot be determined, check "unknown."

14.  Material Source: Indicate whether the waste material was generated on site and/or
    off site, as appropriate.
                                    15

-------
      15.  Waste Easily Accessible:  Indicate whether or not the waste is easily accessible to
          the general public.  On-site workers should not be included for this data field.  Items
          to  be  considered in judging accessibility include complete cover over the site or a
          secure fence around the site. For example, waste material exposed at the surface in
          a park or playground is easily accessible, while waste exposed at the surface of a site
          surrounded by a locked chain-link fence is not easily accessible.

      16.  Further Action Recommended:  If the PA indicates whether further action, under any
          regulatory program, should be undertaken, include the recommendation as a "yes" or
          "no" answer.  Identify the specifics of the recommended action in the "Comments"
          section.  If no recommendation is made either way, check "unknown."

Section 3 - Waste Description

      1.   Descriptive Information: These items should be checked in the event that no waste
          was deposited at the site, no waste was evident at the site, a de minimis amount of
          waste was  generated at the site, or the waste previously deposited was totally
          removed.  These  choices  may  be made if the file is comprehensive enough  to
          complete most of the form even though the site does  not contain a reportable
          quantity of waste. This item will provide an idea of the sites in CERCLIS that may not
          contain significant quantities of waste.  If these categories do not apply (i.e., there
          is/was a significant quantity of waste at the site), please check the box directly to the
          right of the data field heading.   Even  if one of these categories is checked, the
          remainder of Section 3 must be completed.

      For data fields #2-4, wastes have been divided into three major groupings based on the
physical state of the waste: solid, liquid, and sludge. The presence of each of these states at
the site needs to be determined.  Each waste state grouping has been further divided into four
categories: "none," "unknown," "hazardous," and "non-hazardous." The procedure for completing
this section is as follows, and should be followed for each waste state.

      2-4 Solids, Liquids, Sludges: First determine if the particular waste state being evaluated
          ("solid" will be used here as an example) is/was present at the  site.  If solid wastes
          are/were not present, check "none." If it cannot be determined whether solid wastes
          are/were present, then check "unknown." If hazardous and/or non-hazardous solid
          wastes are/were present, then check "hazardous" and/or "non-hazardous" and also
          check all of the subcategories that are necessary to characterize the particular waste
          stream.  It should be noted that it is possible to be certain that solid wastes were
          disposed of at  the site, but to be unsure of the  particular waste stream.   In this
          situation, check the major headings "hazardous" and "non-hazardous" and then also
          check the subcategory "unknown." If the subcategories listed  are not sufficient to
          characterize the particular waste stream, check "other." As with the previous sections,
          the evaluator should try to use the categories presented if possible, or check "other"
          and provide a brief description in the "Comments" portion. Examples of common
          "other" descriptors include:

          •   explosives                       •    oil/petroleum production
          •   radioactive                       •    drilling muds (sludge)
          •   dust                             •    scrubber waste (sludge)
          •   agricultural
                                          16

-------
     In some cases, it may not be easy to distinguish between "hazardous" and "non-hazardous"
for the waste type. In these cases, professional judgment is encouraged.  If an evaluator believes
that hazardous waste may reasonably be present in an otherwise non-hazardous waste stream,
the evaluator should check both "hazardous" and "non-hazardous."  The waste streams within
these categories should also be identified using best professional judgment.

     Some examples of this situation arise in evaluating the waste stream for municipal landfills
or foundry sands.  For municipal landfills, under solids,  the "hazardous" box would be checked
along with the corresponding subcategory box "unknown." In addition, the "non-hazardous" box
would be checked along with the corresponding subcategory box "municipal."  For foundry sands
under solids, "hazardous" and "metals" would be checked along with "non-hazardous" and "other"
- foundry sands.

Section 4 - Environmental/Demographic Information

     1.   Demographics:

          a.    Distance to Nearest Population: If known, provide the distance from the site
               boundary to the nearest population. Also, indicate the unit of measure that was
               used.   Population includes those persons  occupying houses,  apartment
               buildings, schools, and businesses, as well as the temporary population (e.g.,
               workers). Use maps, if available, to provide best estimates.  If there is an on-
               site population, use 10 feet as a default value.

          b.    Population Within 1 Mile?:  If there is a population within  1  mile of the site,
               check  "yes" and  enter the number of people within  this  radius.  When a
               reasonable  estimate for the number of people in  the population is unknown,
               check "yes" and leave the number field  blank.  A map, if available, may be used
               to determine if there is a population. If this information  is not in the file, check
               "unknown."

          c.    Population  within 3 Miles?:  If there is a population within 3 miles of the site,
               check  "yes" and  enter the number of people within  this  radius.  When a
               reasonable  estimate for the number of people in  the population is unknown,
               check "yes" and leave the number field blank.  Again, a map may  be used if
               available. If this information is not in the file, check "unknown."

          NOTE:     If the site is active, then there are on-site workers and the 10 ft. default
                    value should be used for distance  to nearest population. Also, this means
                    that population within 1 and 3 miles is automatically "yes."

     2.   Actual Environmental Damage Reported, Potential Population Affected: Indicate
          whether actual environmental damage has been reported at this site. Note that this
          does not include potential damage, only documented cases of actual impacts. For
          example, if during the PA leachate was observed  entering an adjacent  stream or
          wetland, this can be considered an actual environmental impact. If "yes," indicate the
          type of damage that was reported and estimate the population that could potentially
          be  affected.  If the potential population is not known, write "unknown" in  the space
          provided.
                                         17

-------
3.   Water Supply Information for a 3-Mile Radius:

    a.    Local Drinking Water Supply Source:  Identify whether drinking water supplies
          are drawn from surface water and/or ground water within 3 miles of the site.
          If, for example, the local area has a municipal system fed by surface water but
          some houses still use wells, then check "surface and ground water."  If all
          drinking water sources are outside of the 3-mile radius, this should be noted in
          "other."

    b.    Total Population Served: If available, provide the number of people served by
          the water supply system. Note that this population should reflect the  population
          served by a source within 3 miles of the site; it may be more or less than the
          total population within 3 miles. For example, if a well located two miles from the
          site is used to serve the population of a city of 60,000, the entire  population
          should be included even if the city is outside of the 3-mile radius.  If  there is no
          drinking water population (all sources are outside 3-mile radius), use a default
          value of 1.

    c.    Drinking Water Supply System Type:  Indicate the type of  water  supply
          system for the  surrounding  area.  "Municipal" should be indicated for any
          central water supply system, even if it is operated by a private water company,
          utility, or individual (e.g., trailer park serviced by one privately owned well).

    d.    Ground Water  Data: Check all appropriate boxes for predominant uses of
          ground water other  than drinking water supply.   Monitoring wells  should  be
          ignored.  Some examples of "other" uses include:

          •   agricultural
          •   dust control

          Wells Within 1  Mile?: If there are operable wells within 1 mile of the  site, check
          "yes" and indicate the total number of wells used for any purpose.  Monitoring
          wells should not be  considered for this data field.

          Wells Within 3  Miles?:  If there are operable wells within 3 miles of the site,
          check 'yes" and indicate the total number of wells used for any purpose. Again,
          monitoring wells should not be considered.

          Distance to Nearest Well: Provide the distance from the site boundary to the
          nearest  operable well,  excluding  monitoring wells.   Indicate what units of
          measure were used.  If the well is located on site, use 10 feet as a default value.

          Depth to the Uppermost Used Aquifer: Provide the depth beneath the ground
          surface to the uppermost aquifer that is or may be used.  In many cases, this
          will be the depth to the water table.  If the uppermost aquifer is contaminated
          but not used, and a deeper aquifer is used, the distance stated should reflect
          the distance to the deeper aquifer. An exception to this is if the contamination
          is due, or may be due, to site activities. In this case, provide the depth to the
          uppermost (contaminated) aquifer. Always indicate the units of measure used.
                                     18

-------
               If a range of depth is given, use the midpoint value for the data field.  Use a
               default value of 1 foot if the site is located in the water table.

          e.    Surface Water Information for 3-Mile Radius:

               Other Local Surface Water Uses:  Check all appropriate boxes for uses of
               surface water within the 3-mile radius, other than use for drinking water supply.

               Surface Water Adjacent to/Draining Site: Identify all types  of surface water
               adjacent to or draining the site that could potentially be affected by overland
               runoff from the site.   Use professional  judgment and  MRS definitions as
               necessary.

               Distance to Nearest Downstream Intake: Provide the distance to the nearest
               downstream intake in feet or miles, if known.

      4.   Ecological Information:

          Is Site in or Near Sensitive Environment?:  Sensitive environments are defined as
          estuaries, 100-year floodplains, critical habitats (designated only), and some coastal
          areas. If the site is in or near one of these environments, indicate the type of sensitive
          environment and whether  the site is "in" or "near"  that environment.   "Near"  is
          considered to be within a 3-mile radius.

Section 5 - Regulatory and Response History

      1.   Regulatory Activities Prior to Preliminary Assessment:  Indicate any regulatory
          activities that occurred at the site prior to the PA. Examples of these activities could
          include RCRA notification or inspections, NPDES exceedences, and/or state  health
          department inspections of landfills.

      2.   Lead Agency for Preliminary Assessment:  Indicate which agency performed the
          most recent PA for the site.  Check "EPA" if the most recent PA was performed by FIT.

Section 6 - Comments

      This section is not an optional segment of the data collection form. The "Comments"
      section must be completed, at a minimum, with a brief narrative description of the site
