SECTION I
INTRODUCTION AND EXHIBITS
Superfund was created by Congress with the passage of the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA). On October 17,1986, the Superfund Amendments and
Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA) was enacted. SARA reflected EPA's experience in administering the complex
Superfund program during its first six years and made several important changes and additions to the program.
SARA stressed the importance of permanent remedies and innovative treatment technologies in cleaning up
hazardous waste sites; required Superfund actions to consider the standards and requirements found in other Federal
and State environmental laws and regulations; provided new enforcement authorities and settlement tools; increased
State involvement in every phase of the Superfund program; increased the focus on human health problems posed by
hazardous waste sites; and encouraged greater citizen participation in making decisions on how sites should be
cleaned up.
The Superfund remedial program has modified its approach to site cleanups to reflect the mandates in CERCLA, as
amended by SARA. For example, Section 121 of CERCLA mandates the selection of a remedial action that is
protective of human health and the environment, complies with applicable or relevant and appropriate Federal and
State requirements (ARARs), is cost-effective, and utilizes permanent solutions and alternative treatment
technologies or resource recovery technologies to the maximum extent practicable. In addition, CERCLA includes a
preference for remedies that employ treatment that permanently and significantly reduces the volume, toxicity, or
mobility of hazardous wastes as a principal element
The Records of Decision (RODs) highlighted in this annual report document compliance with SARA mandates for
the remedial program in FY 1992. Each ROD discusses the remedy decision for a site or operable unit, certifies that
the remedy selection process has followed the requirements of CERCLA and the National Contingency Plan (NCP),
discusses the major technical components of the remedy, and provides the public with a consolidated source of
information about the site. Once the Regional Administrator or the Assistant Administrator of the Office of Solid
Waste and Emergency Response signs the ROD, it is made available for information purposes and placed in the
administrative record for the site. One thousand one hundred and seventeen (1,117) RODs have been signed since
the Superfund program began (see Exhibit 7).
FY 1992 RODs
One hundred sixty-four (164) RODs and eight (8) ROD Amendments, including Fund-lead, Enforcement, and
Federal Facility RODs were signed during FY 1992. The lead breakdown for the RODs is as follows: 53 Fund-lead
plus 65 Enforcement-lead, equals 118; 118 plus 46 Federal Facility-lead equals 164 RODs. The eight Amendments
consist of 3 Fund-lead and 5 Enforcement-lead RODs. The data in this annual report are based on these 172 RODs
and ROD Amendments; for clarity, these are collectively referred to as RODs throughout the remainder of the
report.
119 of the 172 RODs addressed source control remediation, and 28 RODs addressed ground-water-only
remediation. The remaining 25 RODs were no action/no further action remedies. Of the total 119 source control
RODs, 85 addressed a final source control remedy, and 34 addressed an interim source control remedy. 78 of the
119 source control RODs selected both source control and ground water remediation components.
In keeping with CERCLA Section 121 and the NCP program expectations to treat highly toxic, highly mobile
wastes and contain low level wastes or large volumes of waste, 'treatment technologies' were used for 78 (66%) of
the 119 source control remedies (see Exhibit 3A). 'Treatment technologies' are those selected source control
technologies listed at the top of Exhibit 2, as opposed to other types of treatment. In a further breakdown, source
control treatment technologies plus the other types of treatment were selected for 60 (71%) of the 85 'final' source
control RODs (see Exhibit 3B). A historical overview of the increase in treatment selected for source control and
'final' source control RODs since 1982, is shown in Exhibits 3A through 3C. Exhibits 3A and 3C show the
1
-------
SECTION I
INTRODUCTION AND EXHIBITS (Continued)
percentages of Superfund source control remedies which have chosen all types of treatment, while Exhibit 3B shows
the percentages of 'final' source control remedies since 1987 that have used treatment technologies. It was not until
after SARA, in 1986, that more data on the 'final' source control remedies became available for comparison.
Exhibits
Exhibits 1-13 summarize various data from the 172 FY 1992 RODs, and similar data comparisons for all RODs
signed since FY 1982. To assist in understanding the data presented in Exhibits 1 through 6, a description of each
source control and ground water treatment technology is provided in Section VII.
Exhibit 1 provides an overview of the types of remedial action selected for all FY 1992 RODs. Exhibit 1A provides
the same overview for all RODs FY 1987 - FY 1992.
Exhibit 2 provides a quantitative summary of remedial action components by the number of occurrences in RODs.
Occurrences means the count of one or more technologies, which may be associated with a remedial action
described in the ROD. For example, a ground water remedy may consist of air stripping, aeration, and carbon
adsorption, as part of a treatment train, which would consist of three occurrences. This exhibit demonstrates that
occurrences of the use of treatment technologies (107) for the 119 source control remedies exceeded that of
containment only remedy occurrences (30) by a factor of 3.6. Of the 107 occurrences of source control treatment
technologies, Immobilization (37) and In-situ Vacuum/Vapor Extraction (20) were selected most frequently,
followed by both Bioremediation and other unspecified treatment technologies (13).
Exhibit 3 compares the selection of source control remedies with treatment only; treatment as a primary component
with containment in separate areas; and containment as the primary component. Exhibit 3A shows the percent and
total number of all source control RODs that used some type of treatment, as a percent of all the source control
RODs for each year. For example, there were 119 source control RODs in FY 1992, and of those 119 RODs, 86
(72%) selected remedies with treatment only, or treatment as a primary component with containment in separate
areas. The remainder (32) of the source control RODs in FY 1992 used containment or other actions for the source
control remedy. Exhibit 3B shows the percent and total number of 'final' source control RODs signed from FY 1987
through FY 1992, which employed some type of treatment. Exhibit 3B shows that in FY 1992,60 (71%) of the
'final' source control RODs (85) used treatment remedies. The remainder (25) of the 'final' source control RODs in
FY 1992 used other types of remedies. Exhibit 3C shows out of all the RODs each year, what percent of remedies
have used treatment technologies for source control, versus the percent utilizing containment only and other actions.
Exhibits 3 through 3C indicate that the percentage of treatment technologies used for Superfund remedy selection
has remained near constant for the past five years between FY 1988 and FY 1992.
Exhibit 4 illustrates the occurrences of treatment technologies in FY 1992 source control remedies by type of
treatment technology. Immobilization was the main treatment technology category, followed by Separation/
Recovery technologies. Exhibit 4A shows the same data for all occurrences of technologies since FY 1982.
Exhibit 5 shows the types (110) and occurrences (179) of remedies employed in FY 1992 ground water treatment
RODs. Of the 110 FY 1992 RODs addressing ground water, 78 also contained a source control component. Exhibit
5A depicts the types and occurrences of treatment technologies employed in FY 1992 ground water RODs, and
Exhibit 5B compares the number and percentage of RODs that addressed a ground water remedy against the total
number of RODs since 1982. The majority of ground water treatment occurrences were chemical/physical treatment
technologies (78%). The most frequent occurrences (see also Exihbit 2) were for air stripping (35), carbon
adsorption (24), and precipitation (21). Biological treatment was employed in 5% (10 occurrences) of the
treatments, and the remaining 17% (30 occurrences) of ground water remedies used other technologies to restore
ground water to its beneficial uses within a reasonable timeframe.
-------
SECTION I
INTRODUCTION AND EXIBITS (Continued)
An index of site remedies for all the FY 1992 RODs is provided in Exhibit 6, which contains RODs grouped by the
specific type of source control and/or non-source control remedy selected. RODs which selected two or more types
of remedy technologies or measures, are listed in each respective remedy group. No Action/No Further Action
RODs are listed on the last page of this exhibit.
Historical Overview FY 1982 - FY 1992
The passage of SARA strengthened and extended the Superfund program while maintaining the overall framework
for implementation. These new requirements under CERCLA, as amended by SARA, were intended to ensure
protective clean-up standards, permanent remedies, and the use of alternative technologies where applicable. A
historical overview of FY 1982 - FY 1992 RODs is provided in Exhibits 7 through 10 to show annual progress in
achieving these statutory mandates.
Exhibit 7 depicts the number of RODs signed per fiscal year, both overall and by region. Exhibit 8 is a quantitative
overview of the occurrences and type of treatment technologies which have been selected in source control
treatment technology RODs (FY1982 - FY1992).
Comparative data on the number of RODs and number of occurrences of treatment technologies and 'innovative1
technologies selected for source control RODs (FY 1987 - FY 1992) are presented in Exhibit 9. These data
demonstrate that there has been: (1) an increase since 1987 in the percentage of RODs selecting treatment as a
principal remedy for source control, and (2) an increase since 1987 in the percentage of innovative treatment
technologies selected. The use of innovative treatment technologies declined somewhat during FY1992.
Exhibit 10 provides a list of all source control RODs FY 1982 through FY 1992 by treatment type, and by fiscal
year of ROD signature.
Exhibits 11 and 12 illustrate and list the information for FY 1992 treatment train RODs, i.e., RODs which employ a
sequence of treatment technologies to address a single medium or constituent. Exhibit 13 provides a comparison of
FY 1982 - FY 1992 ROD data on remedial action costs.
FY 1992 ROD Annual Report
The FY 1992 ROD Annual Report is designed to provide the Regions, Headquarters, and the public with summary

SECTION II
RECORD OF DECISION ABSTRACTS
Record of Decision (ROD) summaries are arranged alphabetically by Region; however, not every State may
have a ROD signed in FY1992.
Each ROD summary consists of the following information elements:
• Site History/Description — summarizing site location and background information relevant to the
remedial operable unit, scope of the operable unit within the site cleanup plan, contaminated media, and
key contaminants.
• Selected Remedial Action — providing the principal elements of the selected remedial action, present
worth or capital cost, and operations and maintenance (O&M) cost.
• Performance Standards or Goals — describing qualitative/quantitative cleanup criteria.
• Institutional Controls — describing ordered site restrictions.
• Keywords — highlighting treatment technologies, contaminated media, key contaminants, and major
keyword categories for each ROD. A quantitative list of RODs, by keyword, is presented in Section IV.
A list of RODs signed in FY 1992 and corresponding page numbers precedes the abstracts in this section.

BRUNSWICK NAVAL AIR STATION (OPERABLE UNIT 1), ME
June 16, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 3,094-acre Brunswick Naval Air Station (NAS
Brunswick) site is an active military facility located
south of the Androscoggin River between Brunswick
and Bath, Maine. The primary mission of the Base is
to operate and maintain P-3 Orion aircraft for the
U.S. Navy antisubmarine warfare operations in both
the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea. Land use
in the area surrounding the Base is primarily
residential, with an elementary school, hospital, and
college located 1 mile west of the site boundary. The
southern edge of the Base borders coves and estuaries
of Harpswell Cove. Ground water underlying the site
is described as a potential source of drinking water,
but NAS Brunswick currently is serviced by a public
water supply system. NAS Brunswick, which first
became active in the 1940's during World War II, has
many areas onsite that were used for disposal of
hazardous materials. Two former landfill areas,
known as Sites 1 and 3, are in the central portion of
the Base and were used for the disposal of waste oil,
food waste, solvents, pesticides, petroleum products,
paint wastes, and isopropyl alcohol. Site 1 was
utilized from 1955 to 1975 and Site 3, from 1960 to
1973. Since 1983, the Navy and EPA have conducted
several investigations regarding the past usage and
disposal of hazardous substances. These revealed
contamination of the soil, sediment, and ground water
in Sites 1 and 3 with VOCs and metals. This ROD
addresses containment of the buried wastes at the Site
1 and 3 areas and recovery of contaminated ground
water to prevent further migration. Future RODs will
address additional ground water plumes and other
source OUs. The primary contaminants of concern
affecting the soil, sediment, and ground water are
VOCs, including benzene, toluene, methylene
chloride, and DCE; other organics, including PAHs;
and metals, including arsenic, chromium, and lead.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes the
constructing a low permeability RCRA cap over the
landfills and a slurry wall around the waste to divert
clean water away from the landfills; conducting
treatability tests before designing the treatment
system; pumping and onsite treatment approximately
16 million gallons of contaminated ground water,
which is contained by the cap and slurry wall, using
cnemical oxidation, flocculation, clarification, and
filtration to remove the metals and ultraviolet
oxidation to destroy VOCs in an onsite system
concurrent with the Eastern Plume ground water
(discussed as part of another ROD) to be most cost
effective; discharging the treated water off site to the
local POTW once the water meets pretreatment levels,
and then into the Androscoggin River under a CWA
NPDES permit; monitoring system ground water to
confirm that the containment system is functioning
properly, and implementing institutional controls
including land, deed, and ground water use
restrictions to prevent future use of the landfills or
ground water. The estimated present worth cost for
this remedial action is $7,842,000, which includes a
net present worth O&M cost of $1,432,000 over a 30-
year period.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS
Chemical-specific soil/sediment clean-up goals were
not provided, as the risks presented by these media
are within the acceptable range established by EPA.
A target clean-up level for mercury in soil/sediment
is specified at 1 mg/kg based on a food-web analysis,
as mercury was the only contaminant identified which
demonstrates a propensity to bioaccumulate in
terrestrial food chains. Chemical-specific ground
water clean-up goals are based on SDWA MCLs and
include arsenic 50 ug/1; vinyl chloride 2 ug/1;
methylene chloride 5 ug/1; 1,2-cis-DCE 70 ug/1; 1,2 -
trans-DCE 100 ug/1; chromium (total) 100 ug/1; lead
15 ug/1 (action level); and nickel 100 ug/1.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS:
Deed and ground water use restrictions will be
implemented at the site to prevent future use of the
land or ground water affected by the former landfills.

(NAS Brunswick) is an active military facility located
south of the Androscoggin River between Brunswick
and Bath, Maine. The primary mission of the Base is
to operate and maintain P-3 Orion aircraft for the

became active in the 1940's during World War II, has
many areas onsite that were used for past disposal of
hazardous materials. Investigations were conducted
by the U.S. Navy and EPA beginning in 1983 to
determine the contaminated site areas including, Site
4, an acid/caustic pit used from 1969 to 1974 for
disposal of liquid wastes; Site 11, a former fire-
training area, used over a 30-year period until 1990,
where fuels, oils, and degreasing solvents were used
in the fire-training exercises; and Site 13, the Defense
Reutilization and Marketing Office (DRMO) area,
consisting of three underground storage tanks
containing oils, waste fuels, and solvents which were
removed in the late 1980's. Extensive
hydrogeological data from a 1990 study delineated a
plume of VOC-contaminated ground water extending
north to south along the eastern boundary of the site,
known as the Eastern Plume. This ROD addresses an
interim remedy for Site 2, the Eastern Plume, the
source of which has been traced to Sites 4, 11, and
13. An additional 1992 ROD specified containment
of onsite buried wastes and ground water plume
management. A future ROD will address a final
remedy for the ground water at NAS Brunswick. The
primary contaminants of concern affecting the ground
water are VOCs, including PCE and TCE.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
extracting and treating contaminated ground water
onsite using precipitation and filtration processes to
remove metals such as iron and manganese, and
UV/oxidation to remove VOCs, with offsite discharge
of the treated water to a local POTW for final
treatment; conducting treatability tests prior to design
of the treatment system; and implementing a Navy
monitoring program to ensure that the system is
effective. Extracted ground water for this OU will be
combined with ground water from OU1, the subject
of a previous ROD, and treated concurrently in a
single system. The estimated present worth cost for
this remedial action is $4,223,000, which includes an
O&M cost of $1,845,000 over 5 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Chemical-specific ground water clean-up goals for
this site were based on SDWA MCLs and health-
based standards and include 1,1,1 -TCA 200 ug/1; TCE
5 ug/1; PCE 5 ug/1; trans-l,2-DCE 100 ug/1; cis-1,2-

DARLING HILL DUMP, VT
June 30, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION;
The 3.5-acre Darling Hill Dump site is an inactive
solid waste disposal facility in the town of Lyndon,
Caledonia County, Vermont. Land use in the area is
characterized by open woodland, agricultural, and
residential land. Steep slopes and the presence of
wetlands makes it unlikely that the land in the
immediate vicinity of the Dump will be further
developed for residential uses. In addition, the site
lies within the floodplain of the Passumpsic River.
Approximately 3,200 residents within the area are
served by the Lyndonville Municipal Well Field,
located within 0.5 mile to the southwest. From 1952
to 1972, the site was operated by the Village of
Lyndonville as a disposal area accepting municipal
and industrial waste. During this time, the Darling
Hill Dump was never formally regulated or permitted.
From 1972 to 1989, Ray O. Parker and Sons operated
the Darling Hill Dump and accepted primarily
construction debris and white goods. Approximately
100,000 cubic yards of material are contained within
the dump. As a result of detecting low levels of
VOCs in the ground water at the Lyndonville
Municipal Wellfield, a number of investigations were
performed by EPA and the state, which revealed
VOCs and metals in the ground water and soil at the
site. Subsequent investigations have revealed that the
pumping of the municipal wells inhibits flow of
contaminants past the wellfield and that the site is
neither contaminating area surface waters nor posing
a significant physical hazard to area residences. This
ROD addresses ground water, surface water, and
sediment at the Darling Hill Dump site. The results
of the RI show that the levels of organic compounds
and metals do not appear to pose an unacceptable risk
to human health or the environment; therefore, there
are no contaminants of concern affecting this site.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION;
The selected remedial action for this site includes no
further action because significant levels of
contaminants are not present at the site. EPA,
however, will continue to monitor the ground water,
surface water, and sediment for a 5-year period to
ensure the protectiveness of the no action remedy.
The estimated net present worth for the 5-year
monitoring program is $292,000, which includes an
annual monitoring cost of approximately $77,000.

NEWPORT NAVAL EDUCATION/TRAINING CENTER, Rl
September 29, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 85-acre Naval Education and Training Center
(NETC) is a training facility and tank farm located on
Aquidneck Island, Middletown, Rhode Island. The
NETC facility is situated along 6 miles of shoreline
bordering Narragansett Bay. There are currently four
areas of contamination and six study areas, with
NETC Newport under investigation. Tank Farm Five
consists of 11 underground storage tanks (USTs),
numbered 49 through 59, which were constructed
between 1942 and 1943 for fuel storage and used
until 1974. Between 1975 and 1982, Tanks 53 and 56
contained used oil for alternate use as heating fuel as
part of an oil recovery program. In 1982, the state
adopted hazardous waste regulations, which were
applicable to the waste oils contained in Tanks 53 and
56. In 1983, sampling of the water, oil, and sludge in
the tanks was conducted, and results indicated
significant levels of lead, cadmium, chromium,
barium, mercury, and silver. The water sample
collected from Tank 56 contained various
hydrocarbons. In 1985, analytical results collected
from the monitoring wells installed in the ring drains
of Tanks 53 and 56 revealed the presence of several
chlorinated and aromatic hydrocarbons and traces of
mercury. In 1985, the state ordered the Navy to
remove and close Tanks 53 and 56. In 1990, oil was
observed to be leaking out of Tank 53. Subsequently,
the state required the Navy to remove the contents of
Tank 53, remediate the contaminated ground water
and soil surrounding the tanks, and investigate the
extent of oil contamination in the vicinity of Tanks 53
and 56. Later in 1990, the Navy performed removal
activities of the sludge, water, and oil layers from
Tanks 53 and 56 for treatment at an offsite facility
and steam-cleaned the tank walls to ensure that no
contamination was left prior to tank demolition. This
interim ROD addresses management of the ground
water in the vicinity of Tanks 53 and 56 to control or
prevent further migration of contaminated ground
water and remediation to begin to reduce the
concentration of contaminants until a final remedy can
be chosen. Future RODs will address the final
remedy for the site, including both ground water and
source operable units. The primary contaminants of
concern affecting the ground water are VOCs,
including benzene and TCE; and metals, including
arsenic, chromium, and lead.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
constructing an extraction system around Tanks 53
and 56 to contain the contaminated ground water
plume and prevent migration and potential discharge
to surface water bodies; treating ground water onsite
with a precipitation process that involves a
coagulation/filtration to remove metals, followed by
using UV/oxidation to treat VOCs; conducting a
treatability study during the final design of the
UV/oxidation treatment system to determine the
appropriate oxidant and concentration necessary to
destroy the VOCs; disposing of the filtration solids in
accordance with federal and state regulations;
discharging the treated ground water offsite to either
the local wastewater treatment facility, recycling
treated water back into the aquifer upgradient, or
onsite to surface water if the treatment facility is
unable the accept the pretreated water; and monitoring
ground water. The estimated present worth cost for
this remedial action is $3,500,000, which includes a
present worth O&M cost of $2,000,000 over 5 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Interim chemical-specific clean-up goals are based on
the MCLs and MCLGs and include arsenic 50 mg/kg
(MCL); benzene 5 mg/kg (MCL); chromium
100 mg/kg (MCLG); and lead 15 mg/kg (based on
EPA action level).

OTIS AIR NATIONAL GUARD/CAMP EDWARDS, MA
May 20, 1992
REGION 1
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 22,000-acre Otis National Guard/Camp Edwards
site is a former military vehicle maintenance facility
on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, within the
Massachusetts Military Reservation (MMR). The
Area of Contamination Chemical Spill Area Number
4 (AOC CS-4) plume extends 11,000 feet and is
located 1.1 miles from the southern boundary of
MMR. Land use surrounding MMR is predominantly
residential and light industrial. Ground water beneath
Cape Cod has been classified as a Class I, Sole
Source Aquifer under the Safe Drinking Water Act.
From 1940 to 1984, the site was used by the Federal
Government for various purposes. From 1940 to
1946, the U.S. Army operated the site for
maintenance of military vehicles, and from 1955 to
1973, the USAF operated the vehicle area. Wastes
and equipment handled at AOC CS-4 included oils,
solvents, antifreeze, battery electrolytes, paint, and
waste fuels. Additionally, the northern portion of
AOC CS-4 was used as a storage yard for wastes
generated by shops and laboratories operating at
MMR. Liquid wastes were stored in containers or
underground storage tanks (USTs) in an unbermed
area or deposited in USTs designated for motor
gasoline. The UST waste storage contents were
removed in 1984, and the AOC CS-4 site has been
inactive since 1986. Since 1986, the DOD's
Installation Restoration Program staff conducted
several investigations at MMR, which revealed that
ground water was contaminated with VOCs and may
migrate off of the MMR to the south. This ROD
addresses OU2, the interim action for MMR AOC
CS-4 ground water to prevent further down gradient
migration of the contaminants. Future RODs will
address a final remedy for the AOC CS-4 plume upon
completion of the AOC CS-10 ground water plume
study, while contaminated soil will be addressed as
part of a removal action. The primary contaminants
of concern affecting the ground water are VOCs,
including PCE and TCE.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
onsite pumping and treatment of 790 million gallons
of contaminated ground water using carbon adsorption
to remove VOCs; monitoring the influent and effluent
of the carbon absorption treatment, and discharging
the treated water to an onsite infiltration trench; and
monitoring ground water. The estimated present worth
cost for this remedial action ranges from $2,113,000
to $4,528,000, which includes a present worth O&M
cost ranging from $472,000 to $1,012,000 for 5 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Chemical-specific clean-up goals for ground water are
based on SDWA MCLs and state standards and

PSC RESOURCES, MA
September 15, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION;
The 21.5-acre PSC Resources site is a former waste
oil and solvent reclamation facility located in Palmer,
Hampden County, Massachusetts. The PSC
Resources Property is composed of approximately
20 acres of surrounding residential, commercial,
recreational, woodland, and wetlands areas, including
the Quaboag River. Site features include a concrete
and brick frame building, a garage, multiple concrete
tank cradles, storage tank pads, and a lagoon. The
site is bordered by a recreational field, mixed woods
and wetlands, residential and commercial property,
and to the south by the Quaboag River. The PSC
property is also located within the 100-year floodplain
of the Quaboag River, which is part of the Chicopee
River Basin. The site overlies a ground water aquifer
that currently is not used for drinking water purposes.
Since 1898, there have been several owners of the
PSC property, most involved in oil industry functions.
In 1974, PSC Resources, Inc., purchased the property
to operate an oil storage and processing facility, and
in 1976, the company name was changed to Ag-Met
Oil Services, Inc. The company began accepting
solvents and lacquers for collection and disposal. In
late 1976, the company began operating under the
name Newtown Refining Corporation; however, the
state denied their permit renewals. Several state
inspections conducted between 1974 and 1976
revealed improper maintenance along with waste oil
and hazardous materials spills. In 1978, the facility
was closed, and the state required Newtown Refining
to begin removing 1.5 million gallons of waste oils
and sludge from the site. By 1982, little of that waste
had been removed and an estimated 500,000 gallons
of waste remained onsite. Oil had discharged to
adjacent wetlands and sampling of soil, sediment, and
surface water revealed contamination by VOCs,
metals, PAHs, and PCBs. In 1986, the state initiated
two interim remedial measures (IRMs) to secure the
property and remove oils, sludge, drums, tanks, and
associated piping offsite. In 1991, EPA initiated a
removal action, which involved construction of a new,
full enclosure fence around the PSC property and the
adjacent spill area in the wetland. This ROD
addresses the final remedy for the site, which includes
both source control and management of migration
components. The primary contaminants of concern
affecting the soil, sediment, debris, ground water, and
surface water are VOCs, including benzene, PCE, and
TCE; other organics, including PAHs and PCBs; and
metals, including arsenic and lead.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action includes
decontaminating, demolishing, and offsite disposal of
debris and property structures at a RCRA landfill;
consolidating the contaminated soil with lagoon and
wetlands sediment onsite, and treating these materials
using stabilization; constructing a permeable cap over
the stabilized material; restoring affected wetlands;
treating lagoon surface water onsite using filtration
and a granular activated carbon (GAC) adsorption
unit, followed by discharging the treated water into
the Quaboag River or to an offsite facility; using
natural attenuation to achieve ground water clean-up
levels; monitoring ground water; conducting sediment
and surface water sampling; and implementing
institutional controls including deed, ground water and
land use restrictions. The estimated present worth
cost for this remedial action is $3,420,747, which
includes an annual O&M cost of $731,913.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Chemical-specific soil and sediment (lagoon only)
clean-up levels are based on health-risk standards and
SDWA MCLs, respectively, and include benzene
1 mg/kg/3 mg/kg; TCE 2 mg/kg/4 mg/kg; PCE
2 mg/kg/12 nig/kg; lead 500 mg/kg/15 mg/kg; total
PAHs 151 mg/kg; and total PCBs 1 mg/kg.
Chemical-specific wetlands sediment clean-up levels
are based on health-risk standards and include total
PAHs 10 mg/kg; total PCBs 1 mg/kg; arsenic
12 mg/kg; and lead 375 mg/kg. Chemical-specific
ground water clean-up levels are based on SDWA
MCLs and state standards and include benzene 5 ug;
TCE 5 ug/1; PCE 5 ug/1; and lead 15 ug/1. An
ARAR waiver will be issued for certain requirements
of the chemical waste landfill regulations, which
require construction of chemical waste landfills in low
permeable clay conditions, the use of a synthetic
membrane liner, and that the bottom of the landfill be
50 feet above the historic high water table.

The 15-acre Revere Textile Prints site is an industrial
facility, located in Sterling, Windham County,
Connecticut. Land use in the area is a mix of rural
residential, industrial, and agricultural, with
interspersed woodlands and grassland meadows. The
Moosup River and Sterling Pond are located
southwest and southeast of the site, respectively. The
property was originally developed in 1809 as a cotton
mill and was used continually for this purpose until
1879. From 1879 to 1980, several textile processing
facilities used the site to print colored and patterned
fabrics, which involved using pigments, dyes, and
solvents. Throughout the site's history, process rinse
water and leftover printing pigments were disposed of
into floor drains that drained into Moosup River. In
1980, a fire forced the facility to shut down. A
subsequent state inspection revealed over 1,500 drums
of waste material at the site as well as stained or
colored soil near the former drum storage areas. In
1980, the state ordered the PRP to dispose of the
1,500 drums offsite along with an unspecified amount
of stained soils; the action was completed in 1983.
Between 1982 and 1983, W.F. Norman Company
purchased the site for metal stamping operations, and
subsequently abandoned the site. In 1988, the Town
of Sterling acquired the site for its current use as a
light industrial park. In 1990, EPA ordered the Town
of Sterling to remove and dispose of several 55-gallon
drums and 5-gallon cans containing waste material.
This ROD addresses site soil, sediment, ground water,
and surface water. The results of the RI have shown
no evidence of significant site contamination, and
where contaminants were detected, the levels were
usually significantly below the federal MCLs.
Therefore, there are no contaminants of concern
affecting this site.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes no
further action, with implementation of a 5-year
sediment and ground water monitoring program. EPA
has determined that the previous interim remedial
activities have eliminated the need to conduct
additional remedial actions and are adequate to protect
human health and the environment. The estimated net
present worth of this remedial action is $263,000 for
the site monitoring activities.

TIBBETTS ROAD, NH
September 29, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 2-acre Tibbetts Road site is a former waste
storage and disposal facility in Harrington, Stafford
County, New Hampshire. Land use in the area is
predominantly industrial with one unoccupied
residence onsite and five occupied residences located
within 200 feet of the site. The residents within one-
half mile of the site used ground water as their
primary source of drinking water. From the 1940's to
present, the site was used as a storage area for
industrial wastes from automobile production and
painting. In 1982, state investigations revealed that
improper storage techniques had led to many of the
storage barrels discharging their contents to the
ground, resulting in contamination of the ground
water. In 1984, EPA conducted a removal action that
involved removing barrels and contaminated soil from
the site for offsite treatment and disposal. A second
removal action was conducted by EPA in 1986, which
included excavating 405 cubic yards of soil containing
dioxins, PCBs, VOCs, and SVOCs, backfilling and
capping the area, shipping PCB- and VOC-
contaminated soil offsite, and storing dioxin-
contaminated soil onsite, to be destroyed by infrared
incineration at a later date. In 1987, EPA and the
state constructed a drinking water treatment plant to
provide an alternate water supply to local residents.
This ROD addresses a final remedy for debris and
ground water at the site. The primary contaminants
of concern affecting the debris and ground water are
VOCs including, benzene, PCE, TCE, and xylenes;
other organics, including PAHs; and metals, including
chromium and lead.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
removing and disposing buildings and debris offsite to
access the areas of contamination more efficiently;
disposing of 15 barrels of incinerator ash residue and
spent carbon filters from a previous removal action
offsite; using trenches or wells to intercept ground
water in the bedrock aquifer; designing and
constructing a ground water dewatering and extraction
system in the overburden aquifer, and treating air
emissions using granular activated carbon; treating the
contaminated ground water in an onsite treatment
plant using metals precipitation, chemical additives,
and UV/oxidation, with discharge of the treated
ground water to injection wells onsite to promote
flushing of weathered bedrock; disposing of the
resulting sludge offsite; conducting a treatability study
to determine the appropriate oxidant and concentration
needed to destroy VOCs; upgrading and expanding
the water supply, as needed; monitoring ground water
and surface water; modifying or abandoning wells, if
necessary; and implementing institutional controls,
including deed and ground water use restrictions to
prevent the use of contaminated ground water. The
estimated present worth cost for this remedial action
is $3,776,000, which includes a net present worth
O&M cost of $2,047,000 for 30 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Chemical-specific ground water clean-up goals are
based on SDWA MCLs and MCLGs and state
standards and include PCE 5 ug/1; toluene 1,000 ug/1;
naphthalene 1,460 ug/1; arsenic 50 ug/1; manganese

TOWN GARAGE/RADIO BEACON, NH
September 30, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The Town Garage Radio Beacon, NH, site includes
the Holton Circle residential development of 23
homes, a town garage area, and an undeveloped
hillslope and wetlands area in Londonderry, New
Hampshire. Excluding the town garage, land use in
the area is predominantly residential. Drinking water
is obtained via private bedrock wells, with the
exception of nine residents on Holton Circle and
residents of the adjacent Isabella Drive development
who are connected to a public water supply. The
underlying aquifer is a Class lib aquifer, a potential
source of drinking water. From 1940 to 1968, the
area was owned by the Department of Defense
(DOD), who reportedly used it as a radio beacon
facility from 1940 and 1947. In 1968, the property
was transferred to the Town of Londonderry. Eight
acres of the property were used as a garage to store
town vehicles, along with road sand and salt, and to
perform routine maintenance on the vehicles; 12 more
acres were given to the Londonderry Housing and
Redevelopment Authority. Site contamination was
discovered in 1984 when Holton Circle residents
requested that the state sample their bedrock wells.
Resulting investigations showed VOCs at levels above
federal and state drinking water standards. The state
has continued to monitor the wells onsite and notes
that decreasing concentrations of 1,1,1-TCA and
increasing concentrations of 1,1-DCE and 1,1-DCA
demonstrate that a degradation process is occurring.
This ROD addresses a final remedy for the
contaminated ground water onsite. No other remedial
actions are anticipated for the site. The primary
contaminants affecting the ground water are VOCs.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
allowing the contaminated ground water in the
overburden and bedrock aquifers to naturally
attenuate; implementing institutional controls
including deed restrictions to prevent future use of
ground water; monitoring ground water; and
implementing a contigency remedy to provide an
alternate water supply to affected residences in the
event that contaminants into the drinking water wells
reverse their historical trend and concentrations begin
to increase beyond the clean-up levels. There are no
capital costs associated with this remedy; however the
estimated present worth O&M cost for this remedial
action is $1,250,000.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Chemical-specific interim ground water clean-up
levels are based on SDWA MCLGs and state
standards and include 1,1-DCE 7 ug/1; 1,1,1-TCA
200 ug/1; antimony 6 ug/1; beryllium 4 ug/1; chromium
100 ug/1; and barium 2,000 ug/1. Three years after
these levels have been achieved, a risk assessment
will be performed to determine whether the levels are
protective and, therefore, should be final.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS:
Institutional controls in the form of property deed
restrictions or local zoning ordinances will be
implemented to restrict future ground water use in the
town garage and undeveloped hillslope areas. A
drainage restriction also will be employed at the town
garage to prevent future releases to the ground water.

ACTION ANODIZING, PLATING, AND POLISHING, NY
June 30, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION;
The 1-acre Action Anodizing, Plating, and Polishing
(AAPP) site is an active metal finishing shop located
in Babylon, Suffolk County, New York. Land use in
the area is primarily residential and commercial. An
estimated 1 million residents use public wells within
3 miles of the site for their drinking water supply.
From 1938 to 1968, a commercial laundry facility
operated onsite; subsequently, AAPP has operated at
the site as a small metal-finishing plant. Site features
include the AAPP operating facility, an adjacent
storage area, and a residence. Onsite operations
involve sulfuric acid anodizing of aluminum parts for
the electronics industry, cadmium plating, chromate
conversion coatings, metal dyeing, and vapor
degreasing. Liquid wastes from these operations
include rinses of spent caustic and acidic solutions
contaminated with cadmium, chromium, zinc, and
sodium cyanide. Prior to 1980, these spent solutions
and rinses flowed from a concrete waste-holding
trough to a septic tank and several leaching pits for
tank overflow. In 1980, the county identified elevated
levels of cadmium, chromium, and nickel in the onsite
leaching pits. That same year at the direction of the
county, AAPP removed the contaminated substances
from the leaching pits, backfilled, and closed the pits.
This ROD addresses OU1, which includes the whole
site. Samples of ground water, soil, and sediment
taken from onsite and offsite areas during the RI
showed that contaminant levels were generally well
below state and federal standards and risk levels.
Therefore, the AAPP site does not pose an
unacceptable risk to human health or the environment.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes no
further action, with the implementation of a ground
water monitoring program for 1 year to ensure that
the remedy is protective of human health and the
environment.

BIOCLINICAL LABORATORIES, NY
September 30, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 2.6-acre Bioclinical Laboratories (BCL) site is
located in Bohemia, Suffolk County, New York.
BCL occupied 1 unit in a 10-unit building, leased by
various tenants. Land use in the area is mixed
commercial, industrial, and residential. The nearest
residential development is found approximately
1,000 feet from the site, and most residents are
connected to the public water supply system. The
two aquifers underlying the site, the Upper Glacial
and the Magothy, represent the main source of
potable water for the area. From 1972 to 1984, BCL
used the site to formulate and repackage industrial
chemicals for wholesale distribution to manufacturers.
During this process, indoor sinks that were used for
washing chemical mixing vessels drained to the east
sanitary sewer system. In 1981, a fire partially
destroyed BCL's chemical inventory and resulted in
surface water runoff of hazardous waste. The county
ordered BCL to clean out the sanitary system and
submit a plan for installing a ground water monitoring
system; however, no wells were ever installed. In
1984, the business was sold and moved to another
location; in 1990, it ceased operation entirely. An
additional source of contamination has been partially
attributed to another tenant at the site, the Panatone
Finishing Corporation. Their metal finishing
operations were connected to the west sanitary sewer
system. Numerous sanitary code violations by
Panatone led to a limited ground water investigation
by the county in 1981 that revealed 1,1,1-TCA and
1,1-DCA at concentrations above state drinking water
standards. In addition to the west sanitary sewer
system, Panatone utilized a leaching pool on the north
side of the building to dispose of effluent. In 1985,
this leaching pool was pumped out, cleaned, and
removed from service. Sampling performed by the
county in 1991 revealed no contamination in the east
sewer system and minor contamination in the west
sewer system. In 1992, the property owner and
current tenants cleaned out the contamination in the
west sewer system and were ordered to halt future
potentially hazardous discharges. This ROD will
determine the nature and extent of contamination to
ensure protection of human health and the
environment and is the only OU planned for the site.
As a result of previous clean-up activities, risk
assessment results indicate that contaminant levels do
not exceed risk-based standards; therefore, there are
no contaminants of concern affecting the site.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site is no further
action. The risk assessment results indicate that the
levels of contamination present in the soil, air,
sediment, and ground water present risks which fall
within or below EPA's allowable risk range. There
are no costs associated with the no action remedy.

COSDEN CHEMICAL COATINGS, NJ
September 30, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 6.7-acre Cosden Chemical Coatings site is a paint
formulation and manufacturing facility in Beverly,
Burlington County, New Jersey. Land use in the area
is predominantly residential, with some light industry.
An estimated 800 people reside within a 1-mile radius
of the site. During the manufacturing process,
pigments were mixed with resins and solvents in both
ball and sand mills prior to adding other ingredients
in mixing tanks to produce the final coating products.
Mixing tanks were then washed out with solvents, and
the rinsate was transferred to drums. Until 1974,
organic solvents used in the manufacturing process
were recycled; thereafter, drums containing spent
solvents were stored onsite. Some of these drums
leaked onto the ground and caused soil and ground
water contamination. Additionally, solvents were
stored in underground storage tanks (USTs), which
may have leaked. In 1980, a grass fire onsite
prompted state investigations that revealed the
presence of surface spills and several hundred
unsecured drums. In 1985, the state ordered Cosden
to clean up the site; however, Cosden abandoned
clean-up efforts after 88 of 695 drums were removed.
In 1986, the state undertook emergency removal of
the drummed material and clean-up of surface spills
around the drum storage areas. Paint manufacturing
continued onsite until 1989, resulting in additional
drums accumulating onsite. In 1989, EPA initiated a
second removal action by constructing a fence around
areas of soil contamination and removing the
remaining drums, paint cans, pigment bags, mixing
tanks, and UST contents. However, as the removal
action neared completion in 1990, a fire occurred
inside the process building, which consumed a
majority of the building. This ROD addresses the
final remedy for the cleanup of contaminated soil,
ground water contamination in the underlying aquifer,
and the Cosden building. The primary contaminants
of concern affecting the soil, debris, and ground water
are VOCs, including benzene, TCE, toluene, and
xylenes; other organics, including PAHs and PCBs;
metals, including arsenic, chromium, and lead; and
inorganics, including asbestos.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION;
The selected remedial action for this site includes
treating 8,000 cubic yards of contaminated soil onsite
using in-situ solidification, and disposing of a small
pile of concentrated PCB-contaminated soil offsite;
disposing of sludge generated during the treatment
process offsite; decontaminating and demolishing the
contaminated building onsite, and removing and/or
recycling decontaminated debris and equipment
offsite; removing asbestos and PCB-contaminated
debris offsite for disposal in an appropriate offsite
facility; treating ground water onsite using
precipitation to remove inorganic contaminants,
followed by air stripping to remove VOCs, with
recharge of treated ground water to the underlying
aquifer; treating air emissions using carbon
adsorption, if determined to be necessary during
remedial design; and implementing institutional
controls including deed restrictions. The estimated
present worth cost for this remedial action is
$15,172,800, which includes an annual O&M cost of
$585,500 for 1 year.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Chemical-specific soil clean-up goals are risk-based
and include PCBs 1 mg/kg; chromium 390 to
78,000 mg/kg; and lead 500 mg/kg. Chemical-
specific ground water clean-up goals are based on
state standards and SDWA MCLs and include toluene
1,000 ug/1; xylenes 44 ug/1; chromium 100 ug/1; and
lead 15 ug/1.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS:
Deed restrictions will be implemented to prevent
disturbance of the solidified soil.

DOVER MUNICIPAL WELL 4, NJ
September 30, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The Dover Municipal Well 4 (DMW-4) site is located
within the 500-year floodplain of the Rockaway
River, in the Town of Dover, Morris County, New
Jersey. Surrounding land use is mixed residential and
commercial/light industrial. Ground water in the area
is classified as Class II-A, a current source of
drinking water. In the portion of the valley close to
DMW-4, two silt layers separate permeable sands into
a "shallow aquifer," an "intermediate aquifer," and a
"deep aquifer," all of which are connected
hydraulically. Drilled in 1962, Dover Municipal Well
4 commenced pumping in 1965, as one of the Town's
primary water supply wells. In 1980, sampling and
analysis of ground water from DMW-4 identified the
presence of VOCs—specifically, chlorinated
solvents—above federal and state drinking water
standards. Subsequently, DMW-4 was voluntarily
removed from service by the Town, and standby
Well 3 was activated as a potable water production
well. The sources of VOC contamination have been
traced to the Howmet Turbine Components
Corporation (Dover Casting Division) and the New
Jersey Natural Gas Company, both of which are under
state administrative consent orders to remediate their
individual properties. This ROD addresses
remediation of the contaminated ground water in the
shallow, intermediate, and deep aquifers at the DMW-
4 site, as OU1. Future RODs will address any
additional ground water contamination onsite and the
potential source(s) of contamination. The primary
contaminants of concern affecting the ground water
are VOCs, including benzene, PCE, and TCE; and
metals, including lead.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
onsite pumping and treatment of contaminated ground
water from both the intermediate and deep aquifers
using air stripping to remove VOCs; discharging the
treated water offsite to the public water supply system
to be used for potable water, with reinjection of
surplus quantities; performing a preliminary
assessment of air stripper emissions and discharge
requirements to determine if vapor phase treatment
using activated carbon will be necessary, and if so,
disposing of or recycling the spent carbon offsite;
monitoring air emissions; and monitoring ground
water to ensure effectiveness of the treatment system
and to determine if pretreatment for inorganics is
necessary. The estimated present worth cost for this
remedial action is $1,985,000, which includes an
annual O&M cost of $106,000 for 21 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Chemical-specific ground water clean-up goals are
based on federal and state MCLs, including PCE
1 ug/1 (state); TCE 1 ug/1 (state); toluene 1,000 ug/1
(federal); 1,1,1-TCA 26 ug/1 (state); and lead 15 ug/1
(federal). Ground water will be treated to meet all
applicable drinking water standards prior to offsite
discharge to the public water supply. Any regulated
equipment used in the selected remedy will be
designed, constructed, and operated to meet state Air
Pollution Control and Noise Pollution Control Act
requirements.

ELLIS PROPERTY, NJ
September 30, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 36-acre Ellis Property site is located in Evesham
Township, Burlington County, New Jersey. Land in
the area immediately surrounding the site is primarily
agricultural, and approximately 60 residences are
located within 1 mile of the site. A wetland area is
located to the east of the property, and the northeast
corner of the site lies within the 100-year floodplain.
Drainage from the wetland area flows to Sharps Run,
which is the nearest free-flowing surface water. The
site overlies part of the New Jersey Coastal Plain
aquifer, which has been classified as a potential
drinking water source. From 1968 to 1978,
approximately 4 acres of the property were used to
store and recondition drums. Site features included a
two-story building, with several washing tanks and
troughs, three sheds, a storage area, and a boiler.
Troughs from within the building drained into ditches,
then into the adjacent wetland. Site reconditioning
operations ceased after a fire damaged some of the
buildings; however, onsite storage of drums continued
into the 1980's. State investigations in 1980 identified
stained soil, areas devoid of vegetation, and hundreds
of drums containing various unknown liquids, some
of which had corroded and were leaking into the
onsite soil. Soil sampling and analysis revealed
contamination by hydrochloric acid, organic
compounds, metals, grease, and PCBs. In 1983 and
1989 removal actions were conducted by EPA and the
state that addressed the sources of contamination, the
proper identification of wastes in drums; and removal
of the drums, waste, contaminated soil, sludge, and
debris offsite for appropriate disposal. This ROD
addresses a final remedy for the remaining
contaminated soil and ground water at the site. The
primary contaminants of concern affecting the soil
and ground water are VOCs, including PCE and TCE;
other organics, including PCBs; and metals, including
arsenic, chromium, and lead.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
excavating all contaminated soil, and treating metal-
contaminated soil onsite or offsite using stabilization
if necessary, prior to offsite disposal in a landfill;
transporting organic- or PCB-contaminated soil offsite
for treatment by incineration; backfilling the
excavated area with clean fill; collecting ground water
using interceptor trenches or extraction wells, and
treating the water onsite using precipitation and
ultrafiltration to remove metals, followed by air
stripping to remove VOCs, with reinjection of the
treated water onsite; treating air emissions if
necessary; using engineering controls to mitigate any
affected wetlands; and monitoring ground water. The
estimated present worth cost for this remedial action
is $6,653,000, which includes an annual O&M cost of
$188,200 for years 0-1; $365,000 for the ground
water remediation for years 1-3; and $283,000 for
years 4-30.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Chemical-specific soil and ground water clean-up
goals are established based on the levels specified in
New Jersey's Proposed Cleanup Standards for
Contaminated Sites (February 1992). Surface soil
clean-up standards include arsenic 20 mg/kg; lead
100 mg/kg; benzene 3 mg/kg; PCE 9 mg/kg; TCE
23 mg/kg(s); and PCBs 0.45 mg/kg. The clean-up
standards for sub-surface soil include arsenic
20 mg/kg; lead 1 mg/kg; PCE 1 mg/kg; TCE 1
mg/kg; and PCBs 100 mg/kg. Ground water clean-up
standards include arsenic 8 ug/1; chromium 100 ug/1;
PCE 1 ug/1; TCE 1 ug/1; toluene 1,000 ug/1; and lead
100 ug/1.

ENDICOTT VILLAGE WELL FIELD, NY
September 30, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 16-acre Endicott Village Well Field site is an
inactive landfill in the Village of Endicott, Broome
County, New York. The site includes a municipal
drinking water supply well, known as the Ranney
well, that provides 47 percent of the total water
supply to the Village, and lies on the boundaries of
En-Joie Golf Course and Tri-Cities Airport. The
portion of the site adjacent to the Tri-Cities Airport
extends into an 8-acre area designated by the Federal
Aviation Administration as a controlled activity area
(CAA). Land use in the area is primarily industrial.
A wetlands area is located along the east and west
banks of Nanticoke Creek, north of the Susquehanna
River. In addition, part of the site lies within the
100-year floodplain of the Susquehanna River. From
the late 1950's to 1977, Endicott Village used the site
for storing municipal solid waste, as well as
residential, and industrial refuse. In May 1981, EPA
detected vinyl chloride and other VOCs in the Ranney
well discharge. Subsequently, the state closed the
supply lines to the well and installed diffused air
aeration equipment to reduce VOCs levels in the soil
and ground water. As a result of additional onsite
investigations, the state installed 9 monitoring wells
in 1983, and in 1984, installed a purge well and
additional monitoring wells. Onsite contamination
was determined to be the result of a plume of
contaminated ground water emanating from the onsite
Landfill #1. Two prior RODs signed in 1987 and
1991, addressed ground water contamination at the
Ranney public supply well, and provided for
additional ground water control and treatment
measures using a purge well, as OU1 and OU3,
respectively. This ROD addresses the Endicott
Village landfill #1, the source of the site

EVOR PHILLIPS LEASING, NJ
September 30, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 6.5-acre Evor Phillips Leasing Company site is a
former disposal facility in Old Bridge Township,
Middlesex County, New Jersey. Land use in the area
is predominantly industrial with four residences
located northwest of the site. The Old Bridge Sand
Aquifer, which underlies the site, is a major drinking
water source for the region. Beginning in 1969, Evor
Phillips used the site for hauling activities until
leasing the property to North American Metal and
Chemical Company (NAMCC) in 1971. Silver
recovery operations were conducted at the site by
NAMCC. Waste x-rays and other waste film were
shipped to NAMCC, incinerated, and reduced to ash.
Waste associated with the silver recovery operations,
specifically, silver and cyanide contaminated waste
waters, were reportedly discharged directly to the
ground. The ash was shipped to an offsite facility for
metals recovery. Additionally, the Naval Ammunition
Depot Earle sent 2,000 gallons of drummed spent
potassium hydroxide to the NAMCC. Drums
containing chlorinated solvents, aromatic
hydrocarbons, ammonia, benzene, toluene, xylene,
ketones and alcohols were allegedly disposed of in a
ravine at the west end of the site. In 1972, NAMCC
was issued a temporary permit to operate an industrial
waste treatment facility. Previously stored drums and
containers remained on the property. In 1973,
NAMCC and the state removed 1,100 drums and bulk
liquid waste from the site and constructed two
treatment ponds consisting of lined 50,000 gallon
concrete tanks for neutralization of acidic and caustic
wastewaters. Between 1974 and 1975, the treatment
ponds were closed and all sludge was disposed of at
a landfill. This ROD addresses an interim remedy
for contaminated ground water at the site and a final
remedy for the drum disposal areas as OU1. Future
RODs will address final remedies for onsite soil and
ground water. The primary contaminants of concern
affecting the debris and ground water are VOCs,
including benzene, toluene; other orgam'cs, including
TCE, PCE, and pesticides; and metals, including
chromium and lead.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected interim remedial action for this site
includes excavating and overpacking approximately
30 buried drums, and removing these offsite for
disposal along with an estimated 50 drums currently
stored at the drum disposal area; extracting and
treating contaminated ground water onsite using
precipitation to remove inorganics, followed by air
stripping to remove VOCs, with recharge of the
treated water to the aquifer; treating air emissions
using carbon absorption, prior to discharge to the
atmosphere; and conducting environmental
monitoring. The estimated present worth cost for this
remedial action is $7,211,948 which includes an
annual O&M cost of $717,996 for 30 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Chemical-specific ground water clean-up goals are
based on SDWA MCLs and state standards including
benzene 1 ug/1 (state); carbon tetrachloride 2 ug/1

FAA TECHNICAL CENTER, NJ
September 30, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION;
The 5,000-acre FAA Technical Center site is located
8 miles northwest of Atlantic City, Atlantic County,
New Jersey, within the Atlantic Coastal Plain. Land
use in the vicinity includes forested, commercial, and
residential areas. The site was first developed in the
1930s, when the Atlantic City Reservoir was created.
In 1942, a Naval Air Base, including most of the
existing runways, was constructed over two-thirds of
the property. Interest in the property was transferred
to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in 1958
for use as research and development facilities and for
the 1979 construction of the existing
Technical/Administration Building. Atlantic City's
municipal water supply is provided by nine ground
water supply wells located just north of the Upper
Atlantic City Reservoir on FAA property as well as
by water drawn directly from the Atlantic City
reservoirs. Currently, the site is composed of several
installations, which include the Atlantic City
International Air Terminal, New Jersey Air National
Guard 177th Fighter Interceptor Group, Upper
Atlantic City Reservoir, Laurel Memorial Park
Cemetery, and extensive facilities of the FAA
Technical Center. From 1978 to 1985, transformers
containing PCB oil were stored on a 25- by 75-foot
concrete pad, referred to as Area G, located at the
lumber yard near building 125 in the western portion
of the property. Some transformers are known to
have leaked, contaminating the concrete pad and
surrounding soil. Initial investigations in 1986
revealed PCB-contaminated soil and debris in Area G.
During 1989, the entire concrete pad and
contaminated soil were collected, excavated, and
disposed of in an approved TSCA cell of a landfill.
This ROD addresses principal threats to human health
or the environment associated with PCB releases from
the Area G transformer storage location. Based on
the results of subsequent sampling, it is believed that
Area G no longer poses a threat to human health or
the environment; therefore, there are no contaminants
of concern affecting this site.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site is no further
action. Based upon the completed removal actions
and risk evaluation for Area G, is determined to be
protective of human health and the environment.

FACET ENTERPRISES, NY
September 4, 1992
REGION 2
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 31-acre Facet Enterprises site is a manufacturing
facility located in the Village of Elmira Heights,
Chemung County, New York. Land use in the area
is primarily residential and commercial. The site
overlies a Class Ha aquifer, which is a potential
source of potable water. The facility, constructed in
1895, was first used by Eclipse, Inc. to manufacture
bicycles. From 1900 to 1960, Eclipse manufactured
motorcycles, engine and airplane parts, military
support parts, ammunition, and fuel pumps. During
that time, Bendix Aviation Corporation acquired
control of Eclipse. From 1960 to 1975, Eclipse, then
a division of Bendix, manufactured electric clutches
and brakes. In 1974, Facet Enterprises was
organized; then, in 1989, Purolator Products Company
became the corporate successor to Facet. Over
10 different areas were used at the site for disposal of
wastes, including plating wastes, oil sludge, metal
hydroxide sludge, chromic acid, PCBs, grinding chips,
and miscellaneous liquid wastes. These areas include
an oil/water separator, ponds, lagoons, drainage ways,
and several dry wells for the disposal of liquid
wastes. Since 1979, several site investigations have
been conducted by EPA and the state. A 1986 draft
remedial investigation revealed that VOCs, PCBs, and
PAHs were present in site soil and sediment, and that
VOCs, organics, and inorganics were detected in
ground water and surface water drainage streams at
concentrations above New York State standards.
Remedial measures, which were implemented at the
site in 1979, included excavating surface water
diversions, covering past disposal areas with soil, and
constructing a leachate collection system. In 1992,
Purolator excavated and removed 469 buried drums;
excavated 2,250 tons of contaminated soil; and
removed and sent 30,000 gallons of contaminated
liquids offsite to a RCRA facility. This ROD
addresses a final remedy for the onsite contaminated
soil, sediment, debris, and ground water. The primary
contaminants of concern affecting the soil, sediment,
debris, and ground water are VOCs, including TCE,
benzene, toluene, xylenes, and PCE; other organics,
including PCBs and PAHs; and metals, including
arsenic and lead.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION;
The selected remedial action for this site includes
excavating contaminated soil and sediment from the
disposal areas; disposing of approximately
1,275 cubic yards of TSCA waste with PCBs
concentrations greater than 50 ppm offsite in a secure
double-lined landfill facility; stabilizing of all RCRA
wastes to prevent leaching of metals and disposing of
2,124 cubic yards of waste in a secure offsite RCRA-
lined facility; disposing of approximately 120 cubic
yards of non-RCRA wastes in an offsite industrial
waste landfill; extracting and storing contaminated
ground water in a central onsite collection tank,
followed by treatment using air stripping to remove
VOCs, and filtration and precipitation to remove
metals, if necessary; discharging the treated effluent
onsite to the facility non-contact cooling system or to
surface water; and implementing a long-term ground
water monitoring program and institutional controls
including land use restrictions. The estimated present
worth cost for this remedial action is $4,850,656,
which includes an annual O&M cost of $1,305,596
for 20 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Action levels for excavation of surface soil/sediment
are health-based and include benzo(a)anthracene
20 ppm/3 ppm; benzo(b)fluoranthene 20 ppm/3 ppm;
benzo(k)fluoranthene 43 ppm/7 ppm; benzo(a)pyrene
3 ppm/1 ppm; indeno(l,2,3-cd) pyrene 12 ppm/2 ppm;
dibenzo(a,h) anthracene 3 ppm/1 ppm; PCBs 10 ppm/
1 ppm; arsenic 19 ppm/7 ppm; and chromium
1110 ppm in sediment only. Action levels for
excavation of subsurface soil are also health-based
and include benzo(a)anthracene 54 ppm;

REGION 2
GENERAL MOTORS/CENTRAL FOUNDRY DIVISION, NY
March 31, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 270-acre General Motors/Central Foundry
Division site is an aluminum casting plant in
Massena, St. Lawrence County, New York. The site
is bordered on the north by the St. Lawrence River;
on the east by the St. Regis River Mohawk Indian
Reservation, which includes Turtle Creek and
wetlands; on the south by the Raquette River; and on
the west by a manufacturing plant. Land use in the
area is mixed industrial and residential, with the
nearest residence located 300 feet from the site. The
site contains at least seven areas that were used
previously as waste disposal areas. From 1959 to
1980, hydraulic fluids containing PCBs were used in
the manufacturing process at the plant. During the
1960's and 1970's, PCB oil-laden wastewater was
discharged onsite into four industrial lagoons,
resulting in PCB-laden sludge. The sludge from these
lagoons was removed periodically and placed in the
unlined North and East Disposal Areas and in the
Industrial Landfill. Solid industrial wastes were also
placed in the Industrial Landfill. In 1975, a berm
surrounding the East Disposal Area was breached and
water and sludge flowed to the St. Regis Mohawk
Indian Reservation and Turtle Creek. Visible spill
material was removed from the Reservation and
relocated to the site property. From 1985 to 1989,
General Motors investigations detected contamination
in soil, sludge, debris, sediment, and ground water
and surface water. In 1988, an interim cap was
placed over the industrial landfill. A 1990 ROD
addressed most affected areas of the site, including
the St. Lawrence River System sediment,
contaminated ground water, soil on the facility and
the St. Regis Mohawk Indian Reservation, and
material at four lagoons and the North Disposal Area.
This ROD provides the final remedy for the
contaminated soil, sludge, debris, ground water, and
surface water at the East Disposal Area and the
Industrial Lagoon. The primary contaminants of
concern affecting the soil, sludge, debris, ground
water, and surface water are VOCs, including TCE;
other organics, including PAHs, PCBs, phenols; and
oils.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
excavating 174,000 cubic yards of soil containing
greater than or equal to 500 mg/kg PCBs, sludge,
debris, and all visibly oily soil from the East Disposal
Area, followed by onsite treatment using either
biological, thermal destruction, or another treatment as
determined by the results of treatability studies
performed as part of remedy for OU1; disposing of
debris offsite; consolidating and containing soil with
PCB levels below 500 mg/kg in the East Disposal
Area along with the treated soil and sludge, and
covering the area with a composite cover;
recontouring, regrading, and containing contaminated
material from the Industrial Lagoon onsite with a
composite cover; installing a slurry wall to control
ground water migration and a runoff collection and
treatment system to treat surface water, prior to onsite
discharge at the East Disposal and the Industrial
Lagoon areas, based on testing results; treating ground
water onsite using air stripping to remove VOCs and
carbon adsorption to remove PCBs, with onsite
discharge to the St. Lawrence River; monitoring
ground water, surface water, and air; and
implementing institutional controls, including deed
restrictions, to discourage use as a residential area.
The estimated present worth cost for this remedial
action ranges from $31,000,000 to $45,000,000,
which includes an annual O&M cost of $567,000 for
years 0-2 and $200,000 for years 3-28.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
The chemical-specific clean-up goal for treated soil
residuals is 10 mg/kg for PCBs, which is an onsite
residual disposal ARAR waiver of the TSCA
regulation concerning landfill requirements of
2 mg/kg for PCBs; for sludge with initial PCB
>500 mg/kg, clean-up residual level is 2 mg/kg
(TSCA). Ground water clean-up goals are based on
SDWA and state standards, and include PCBs
0.1 ug/I; TCE 5 ug/1; and total phenols 1 ug/1.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS:
Deed restrictions will be placed on the property to
discourage future residential use.

HIGGINS FARM, NJ
September 30, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 75-acre Higgins Farm site is a former cattle farm
in Franklin Township, Somerset County, New Jersey.
Land use in the area is predominantly agricultural,
with two residences located onsite. The estimated
3,200 people who reside within 3 miles of the site use
a municipal water supply well for their drinking water
supply. During the 1960's, municipal sludge and
penicillin waste were used as fertilizers on Higgins
Farm. The site also contains three holding tanks and
drums containing material removed from previous
remedial investigations. In 1985, the city discovered
and reported elevated levels of chlorobenzene in a
potable well near the site. Additionally, the state
investigated and discovered the presence of a drum
burial dump site approximately 40 yards from the
contaminated well. In 1986, the owner excavated
50 containers, including drums; however, during
excavation activities, some of the containers were
punctured and their contents spilled onto the ground.
Later in 1986, the state sampled residential wells and
discovered VOC contamination. The state also
collected soil samples and analyses indicated the
presence of VOCs, pesticides, metals, dioxins, and
furans. In 1987, EPA responded to contamination in
drinking water wells by providing bottled water to
affected residents as an interim ground water remedy
(OU1), and EPA assumed the lead in mitigating the
site by constructing a barn of contaminated material;
draining, lining, and backfilling the excavation pit;
pumping treated and stored liquids into holding tanks;
and fencing in the excavated pit area. In 1989,
carbon filters were installed to limit ingestion of
VOCs and mitigate the potential for human exposure.
In 1992, EPA performed a removal action and
completed the excavation of 94 drums and
contaminated soil. This ROD addresses the final
action for ground water to limit future migration of
contaminated ground water to offsite areas, as OU2.
The primary contaminants of concern affecting the
ground water are VOCs, including benzene, PCE,
TCE, and xylenes.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The final remedial action for this site includes
installing ground water extraction wells around the
perimeter of the site; treating the contaminated ground
water onsite by processes that are expected to include
precipitation, flocculation, clarification, filtration, air
stripping, intermediate pH adjustment, ion exchange,
and final pH adjustment, however, the exact system
will be developed during the RD phase; discharging
the treated ground water to onsite surface water;
monitoring ground water, surface water, and onsite
and offsite wells including downgradient residential
wells; and performing limited investigations to ensure
all sources of contamination have been identified,
with removal and offsite disposal of contaminated
materials that were previously remediated and are
currently stored onsite. The estimated present worth
cost for this remedial action ranges from $5,990,000
to $8,447,600, which includes an annual O&M cost of
$384,000.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Chemical-specific goals for ground water clean-up,

IMPERIAL OIL/CHAMPION CHEMICALS, NJ
September 30, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 15-acre Imperial Oil/Champion Chemicals site is
an oil blending facility in Marlboro Township,
Monmouth County, New Jersey. The site is located
within the Matawan watershed of the Atlantic Coastal
Drainage Basin. Birch Swamp Brook, an intermittent
stream, collects discharge from a fire pond located
east of the berm. The site consists of a 4.2-acre oil
blending facility, which includes seven production,
storage, and maintenance buildings, and several oil
storage tanks. Land use in the area is predominantly
residential, and a wetland area is located to the north
of the site. The estimated 27,000 people who reside
within 1 mile of the site use the Englishtown Aquifer,
which underlies the site, as their drinking water
supply. From 1912 to 1950, the facility and
associated land have been used for a variety of
business operations under various owners. In 1950,
Champion Chemicals Company acquired the property.
Since 1969, the Imperial Oil Company has leased the
facility to support used oil reclamation and oil
blending repackaging operations. Waste products
from the reclamation process included wash water,
waste oils and sludge, and spent filter clay. In 1981,
the state identified onsite contamination by oil and
PCBs; metals in the onsite tank farm area and in soil,
waste samples, and sediment; and PCBs in the
adjacent Swamp Brook, which had resulted from
various onsite spills during operations. State
inspections of offsite areas identified oily stained soil.
In 1982, a site investigation was performed that
confirmed the presence of petroleum hydrocarbons,
PCBs, arsenic, and VOCs in the ground water and
soil, in addition to a floating product layer underneath
the former waste pile and catchment area. A
subsequent state investigation in 1983 confirmed the
continued presence of oily stained soil in the areas
that had historically exhibited visible contamination.
Results of an EPA Innovative Technology Evaluation
indicated that the solidification technology was
effective in remediating elevated concentrations of
metals in soil, but was ineffective in remediating
PCBs and other organics. A 1990 ROD addressed the
principal threats posed by offsite areas, including
contaminated soil within the wetlands. Subsequently,
in 1991, EPA installed extraction wells to remove a
petroleum-like product layer from the ground to
prevent a major source of ground water contamination
and reduce time needed to restore the aquifer to a
usable condition. This ROD addresses final
remediation of contaminated ground water as OU2.
Future RODs will address soil, sediment, surface
water, air, and any other outstanding contamination
sources. The primary contaminants of concern
affecting the ground water are VOCs, including
benzene, PCE, TCE, toluene, and xylenes; other
organics, including PAHs and PCBs; and metals,
including arsenic, chromium, and lead.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
extracting and treating contaminated ground water
onsite using precipitation to remove inorganic
contaminants, and carbon adsorption to remove
organic contaminants; discharging the treated ground
water onsite to Birch Swamp; continuing the previous
removal action; conducting a wetlands assessment to
determine site impact; regenerating or disposing of the
spent carbon; disposing of any sludge generated
during the treatment process offsite; and conducting
environmental monitoring to ensure the effectiveness
of the remedy. The estimated present worth cost for
this remedial action is $9,647,000, which includes an
annual O&M cost of $515,000 for 30 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Chemical-specific ground water clean-up goals, based

INDUSTRIAL LATEX, NJ
September 30, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 9.67-acre Industrial Latex site is a chemical
adhesive s and natural and synthetic rubber compounds
manufacturer in Wallington, Bergen County, New
Jersey. Land use in the area is predominantly
residential, industrial, and recreational, with a wetland
area located near the northeast corner of the site. The
estimated 17,500 people who reside within 1 mile of
the site used four of the five public water supply
wells as their drinking water supply; however, these
wells have been closed since 1985 because of ground
water contamination. From 1951 to 1980, the
Industrial Latex Corporation manufactured both
chemical adhesives and natural and synthetic rubber
compounds. Adhesives were initially formulated
using vegetable protein in a solvent base. Solvents
used in the process included acetone, heptane, hexane,
methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), and memylene chloride.
To reduce flammability, PCBs were introduced as a
fire retardant. In the late 1970's, solvent-based
adhesives were replaced by water-based latex
adhesives. Poor operational procedures and onsite
waste disposal practices, including chemical dumping,
resulted in widespread areas of surface and subsurface
contamination. In 1980, the state conducted a site
inspection and found approximately 250 leaking
drums of various chemical compounds. The state
discovered that VOCs and materials contaminated
with PCBs were disposed of in an onsite sanitary
septic system. After site operations ceased in 1983,
the state conducted a second site inspection and
discovered approximately 1,600 leaking and open
drums. Analyses of the drums' contents revealed the
presence of numerous VOCs and PCBs. In 1985, the
state ordered the site owner to properly dispose of the
drums; however, only about 400 drums were
removed. In 1986, EPA initiated a removal action to
address the remaining 1,200 drums and 22 USTs at
the site. This ROD addresses the final remedy for the
contamination present in the soil, sediment, buildings
and equipment, drums, sludge, septic system, and
hardened latex, as the first of two operable units. A
future ROD will address ground water contamination,
as OU2. The primary contaminants of concern
affecting the soil, sediment, sludge, and debris are
VOCs, including PCE, TCE, toluene, and xylenes;
other organics, including PAHs, PCBs, pesticides, and
phenols; and metals, including arsenic and lead.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION;
The selected remedial action for this site includes
excavating approximately 600 buried drums with
offsite disposal or incineration; dismantling
30 production vats from their steel supports and
draining any remaining material that is not hardened
into drums for offsite disposal or incineration;
disposing of the vats in an offsite landfill; removing
the floor drains and demolishing 41,000 square feet of
the onsite buildings with offsite disposal; excavating
the septic system along with 800 gallons of associated
liquids and 6 cubic yards of sludge with offsite
disposal; excavating and treating onsite an estimated
34,700 cubic yards of contaminated soil and sediment
using low thermal desorption; testing soil to determine
the need for stabilization prior to disposal, and
backfilling treated material onsite; transporting
residuals generated during the treatment process
offsite for disposal or treatment; treating offgases
using carbon adsorption or another appropriate
treatment; monitoring air; assessing the wetland area
and performing additional ground water investigations
during the remedial design phase; implementing
institutional controls, if necessary and site access
restrictions including fencing. The estimated present
worth cost for this remedial action is $17,883,600,
which includes an annual O&M cost of $4,848,700
for 1 year.

ISLIP MUNICIPAL SANITARY LANDFILL, NY
September 30, 1992
REGION 2
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 107.5-acre Islip Municipal Sanitary Landfill site
is located in Hauppauge, Town of Islip, Suffolk
County, New York. Land use in the surrounding area
is predominantly residential, with a day care center
and an apartment complex located adjacent to the
northern edge of the landfill. The Glacial and
Magothy aquifers underlying the site are a primary
source of potable water in the region, and five public
supply wells are located within a 2-mile radius of the
site. Two perennial surface water bodies, the
Connetquot Brook and the North Branch of the
Nissequogue River, are located nearby and are used
for recreational purposes. From 1963 to 1990, the
site was operated as a municipal landfill; an
incinerator, which was constructed onsite, operated
from 1963 to 1968. Landfilling activities have
occurred in phases. Encompassing 55.4 acres, Phase
I (unlined area) and Phase II (lined area) of the
landfill received waste from the early 1960's through
the early 1980's. It is believed that in 1978, sixty to
seventy 55-gallon drums of waste dry-cleaning solvent
were disposed of in these areas. The 13.4 acres
planned for Phase III will be used for disposal of
clean fill, and the remainder of the property is used
for temporary storage of ash fill, sand storage and
borrow areas, setback/buffer zones, vehicle storage,
and other support uses. In 1979, the Town purchased
two houses adjacent to the site because of high
concentrations of methane detected in their
basements. An active gas-collection system was
installed to control migration of explosive gases
beyond the site boundary. Ground water
investigations, which were conducted in 1980,
revealed VOC contamination in private wells. Public
water mains or alternative water supplies were
extended to affected residents. During 1987, the
unlined area was capped, and a liner/leachate
collection system was installed over the cell for
vertical expansion of landfilling operations. In 1990,
the state required the site to stop receiving municipal
waste and begin implementing a complete closure
program of the entire landfilled area. This ROD
addresses a final remedy for the contaminated soil,
debris, and ground water at the site. The primary
contaminants of concern affecting the soil, debris, and
ground water are VOCs, including benzene, PCE,
TCE, and toluene; other organics; and metals,
including arsenic, chromium, and lead.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
installing a modified geosynthetic membrane cap over
52 acres of the landfill; constructing a stormwater
system to direct and control runoff from the site to
recharge basins; allowing ground water with total
VOC concentrations less than 50 ugA to naturally
attenuate; extracting and onsite treatment of ground
water with total VOC concentrations greater than 50
ug/1 using aeration, with discharge of the treated
water onsite to a recharge basin; determining if
carbon absorption will be required as a polishing
treatment step to ensure compliance with state
discharge limits; conducting a treatability study to \
determine the effectiveness of aeration in precipitating
metals from the ground water, and providing for a
contingency remedy that treats ground water using
chemical precipitation and air stripping; evaluating the
ground water treatment system to determine whether
an air pollution control device is necessary;
monitoring ground water and air; and implementing
institutional controls including deed and ground water
restrictions to prevent the installation of drinking
water wells in impacted areas. The estimated present
worth cost for this remedial action is $17,942,025,
which includes a present worth O&M cost of
$4,588,875 for 30 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Chemical-specific ground water clean-up goals, which
are based on SDWA MCLs and state standards,
include benzene 5 ug/1 (MCL); PCE 5 ug/1 (MCL);
TCE 5 ug/1 (MCL); toluene 5 ug/1 (MCL); arsenic
0.025 mg/1 (state); chromium 50 ug/1; and lead
0.02 mgA (state).
INSTITimONAL CONTROLS:
This remedy includes recommendations that deed and
well restrictions be imposed to prevent the installation
of drinking water wells in impacted areas.

KIN-BUC LANDFILL, NJ
September 28, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 200-acre Kin-Buc Landfill consists of several
inactive disposal areas and is located in Edison
Township, Middlesex County, New Jersey. Land use
in the area is predominantly industrial and
commercial, with some residences within 2 miles
north of the site. No drinking water supply wells are
located within a 2-mile radius of the site. The Kin-
Buc site includes three landfill mounds: Kin-Buc I,
Kin-Buc II (directly north of Kin-Buc I), and Mound
B (southwest of Kin-Buc I and adjacent to the Raritan
River). Additionally, the low-lying Edmonds
Creek/Marsh area is situated between Kin-Buc I and
the adjacent Edison Landfill and a wetlands area.
Portions of the Kin-Buc site lie within both the 100-
year floodplain of the Raritan River and a coastal
zone. From 1947 to 1977, Kin-Buc accepted
industrial and municipal waste, including solvents,
waste oils, paint sludge, cyanides, metal stripping
wastes, and paint thinners. An estimated 70 million
gallons of liquid waste and at least 1 million tons of
solid waste were disposed of at Kin-Buc between
1973 and 1976 alone. As a result of an oil spill in
1976, EPA conducted an investigation of the property.
In 1980, clean-up activities were initiated under the
Clean Water Act and included removal, treatment, and
disposal of leachate and drummed waste. Also in
1980, Kin-Buc was ordered to cap Kin-Buc I and II.
A 1988 ROD addressed source control remediation in
mounds I and II, the low-lying area, and Pool C as
OU1. This ROD addresses a final remedy for OU2
which includes sediment and ground water in the
Edmonds Creek wetlands area, Mill Brook/Martins
Creek, Mound B, and the low-lying area. The
primary contaminants of concern affecting the
sediment, ground water, and surface water are VOCs,
including benzene and xylenes; other organics,
including PAHs and PCBs; and metals, including
arsenic.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
excavating 2,200 cubic yards of contaminated
sediment with PCB levels above 5 mg/kg using
excavation methods selected to control surface water
flow and minimize impact to wetlands; dewatering,
consolidating, and disposing of the sediment onsite
within the OU1 containment area; actively restoring
1.36 acres of affected wetlands in Edmonds
Creek/Marsh using a program to be developed during
the RD stage; maintaining the Mound B cover;
allowing natural attenuation to reduce contaminant
concentrations in the ground water to acceptable
levels; and conducting long-term monitoring of
ground water and surface water. If EPA determines
that disposal of OU2 sediment in the OU1
containment area will delay construction of the OU1
remedy, a contingency remedy will be implemented,
which provides for offsite disposal of sediment at a
chemical waste facility. The estimated present worth
cost for this remedial action is $4,314,900, which
includes an annual O&M cost of $67,100 for 30
years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Chemical-specific excavation goals for sediment are
based on EPA's evaluation of bioavailability, Office
of Water methods, and remediation goals at other
Superfund sites and include PCBs at 5 mg/kg. EPA
believes that a PCB-driven remedial action will also
affect reduction of the other contaminants onsite, such
as metals and PAHs.

NAVAL AIR ENGINEERING CENTER (OPERABLE UNIT 5), NJ
Januarys, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 7,400-acre Naval Air Engineering Center
(NAEC) site is located in Jackson and Manchester
Townships, Ocean County, New Jersey,
approximately 14 miles inland from the Atlantic
Ocean. Surrounding land use is primarily
undeveloped woodlands and open areas, with the
closest residential area, the Borough of Lakehurst,
located southeast of the facility. The NAEC, which
lies within the Toms River Drainage Basin, contains
over 1,300 acres of flood-prone areas. In the vicinity
of NAEC, drinking water is generally supplied to the
populace by municipal supply wells. Some private
wells exist, but these are used primarily for irrigation
purposes. The U.S. Navy assumed control of the
property in 1919, and it was formally commissioned
Naval Air Station (NAS) Lakehurst in 1921. The
NAEC was moved from the Naval Base, Philadelphia
to NAS Lakehurst in 1974. The NAEC's mission is
to conduct research, development, engineering, testing
and system integration, limited production, and
procurement for aircraft and airborne weapons
systems. Historically, various operations at NAEC
have required the use, handling, storage, and
occasional onsite disposal of hazardous substances.
During the operational period of the facility, there
have been reported and suspected releases of these
substances into the environment. The U.S. Air
Force's Installation Restoration Program (IRP) has
identified 44 potentially contaminated sites at NAEC,
16 of which have warranted further investigation to
assess potential impacts. IRP investigations revealed
three of these sites, Sites 5, 19, and 21, as having
evidence of petroleum hydrocarbon contamination.
From 1958 to 1980, Site 5, the Arresting Engine
RSTS Track No. 2/Building 371, was used for the
surface storage of small amounts of liquid waste, such
as cleaning solvents, hydraulic fluid, and propylene
glycol. Leakage from stored materials at Site 5 has
resulted in visible soil discoloration. Site 19, the
SATS Catapult (7401 Test Site), was abandoned in
the 1960's and 1970's, after which it became a minor
storage area for 55-gallon drums of waste material,
such as clutch and lubricating oils and jet fuel. In the
early 1980's, twenty-two 55-gallon drums that had
potentially contaminated the soil were removed from
the site for offsite disposal. From 1958 to 1981,
solvents and jet fuel were stored at Site 21, the Jet-
Car Maintenance Shop. In 1983, stained soil areas
prompted NAEC to set up a hazardous waste drum
accumulation area with secondary containment at the
site. As part of a 1991 removal action at each of
these three sites, NAEC excavated and removed
offsite for disposal, a total of 76 cubic yards of soil
with petroleum hydrocarbon concentrations greater
than 1,000 mg/kg. This ROD addresses any potential
remaining peti oleum hydrocarbon contamination at
Sites 5, 19, and 21, as OU5. Future RODs will
address other OUs at NAEC. EPA has determined
that the previously implemented removal actions have
eliminated the need to conduct additional clean-up
activities at these sites; therefore, there are no
contaminants of concern affecting this site.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site is no further
action because previously implemented removal
actions have eliminated the need to conduct additional
remedial action at sites 5, 19, and 21. There are no
costs associated with this no action remedy.

identified 44 contaminated sites at NAEC, 16 of
which have warranted further investigation to assess
potential impacts. One of these sites, Site 44, was
used over a 34-year period for testing and storage of
PCB-containing electrical transformers. As part of
past operating procedures at the site, a 3-ounce
sample of transformer oil was tested yearly and
disposed of onto the ground outside Building 191.
An estimated total of 26 gallons of PCB oil has been
disposed of in this manner. IRP investigations at
Site 44 revealed elevated levels of PCBs in soil. In
a 1991 removal action, NAEC excavated
approximately 13 cubic yards of PCB-contaminated
soil at concentrations greater than 5 mg/kg and
transported the soil offsite for incineration. This
ROD addresses any remaining contaminated soil at
Site 44, as OU6. Subsequent RODs will address
other OUs at NAEC. Post-excavation sampling has
confirmed that the previously implemented removal
action has accomplished the primary objective of
remediating the site; therefore, there are
contaminants of concern affecting this site.

have required the use, handling, storage, and
occasional onsite disposal of hazardous substances.
The U.S. Air Force's Installation Restoration Program
(IRP) has identified 44 potentially contaminated sites
at NAEC, 16 of which have warranted further
investigation to assess potential impacts. Several of
these sites are located within Areas A and B of the
northeastern section of NAEC, where ground water
has been found to be contaminated with VOCs.
Area A is subdivided into two sections: Area A-East,
including Sites 14, 29, and 37; and Area A-West,
including Sites 12, 33, and 42. A wetland area is
adjacent to the northern edge of Area A. Area B,
located immediately south of Area A, includes Sites
9, 13, 36, and 39 as well as Hangars 1, 2, and 3.
Several reported or potential contaminant sources may
have contributed to the ground water contamination
beneath Areas A-East and B, including releases of
mixed liquid wastes from fire-fighting pits during
training activities (A-East), surface disposal of jet fuel
and gasoline (A-East), spills and leaks at former drum
storage area (A-East), leakage and spills from former
underground storage tanks (Area B), and releases
from a dry well receiving unknown liquids at
northeast corner of Hangar 1 (Area B). Reported or
potential contaminant sources at the sites in Area A-
West include leakage from two former underground
storage tanks (Site 12), releases from a former dry
cleaning facility (Site 12), discharges from a dry well
that received mixed liquid waste (Site 33), and
surface disposal of mixed wastes in a landfill
(Site 42). Six previous RODs have addressed other
OUs at NAEC. This ROD addresses an interim
remedy for the principal threat at the site, migration
of the contaminated groundwater plume from Areas
A and B. A future ROD will address a final remedy
for ground water and any other areas of contamination
in Areas A and B. The primary contaminants of
concern affecting the soil and ground water at the site
are VOCs, including benzene, PCE, TCE, toluene,
and xylenes; other organics, including PAHs and
PCBs; and metals.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
extracting and pretreating contaminated ground water
from six recovery wells to remove metals, solids, and
free product; transporting the free product offsite for
recycling or disposal; treating ground water onsite
using air stripping and granular activated carbon to
remove VOCs, with discharge of the treated water
onsite to the aquifer through an irrigation and
infiltration system; spray irrigating the treated water
over areas of subsurface soil contamination to
facilitate soil flushing and removal of soil
contaminants; treating air emissions from the air
stripping process using granular activated carbon,
prior to discharge to the atmosphere; testing residual
sludge from the pretreatment processes for hazardous
waste characteristics and sending this offsite for
appropriate disposal; and returning spent carbon
offsite to the vendor for regeneration. The estimated
present worth cost for this remedial action is
$4,015,000, which includes an annual O&M cost of
$400,000 for 3 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Chemical specific clean-up levels for ground water
and soil have not been identified because of the
interim nature of this remedial action. Clean-up goals
will be established when a final remedial action is
chosen. Treatment residuals will be tested to
determine whether RCRA Land Disposal Restrictions
apply.

NORTH SEA MUNICIPAL LANDFILL, NY
September 28, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 131-acre North Sea Municipal Landfill site is an
active landfill that is owned and operated by the
Town of Southampton in Suffolk County, New York.
Land use in the area is predominantly residential, with
approximately 15 homes located within a one-quarter
mile radius of the site. The site overlies a fresh water
aquifer, which overlies a deeper saltwater aquifer.
Most of the adjacent homes obtain their drinking
water from private domestic wells, which tap into the
fresh water Upper Glacial aquifer. Fish Cove, a body
of saltwater with marshes connected via a tidal inlet
to the North Sea Harbor, is located 1,500 feet
northwest of the landfill. In 1963, a landfill was
constructed for the disposal of municipal solid waste,
refuse, debris, and septic system wastes from
residential, industrial, and commercial sources. There
are three main landfill areas: a 13 acre area
encompassing Cell #1 and related septic sludge
lagoons, which received septic system sludge in the
early 1960's in addition to municipal solid waste; Cell
#2, which is 7 acres in size and was closed in 1990;
and Cell #3, which is currently active, and accepts
80,000 tons of municipal waste annually. In 1986,
the septic sludge lagoons were decommissioned, and
sludge and 2 feet of soil were removed. A ground
water monitoring program, which has been conducted
by the Town of Southampton since 1979, revealed a
large ground water plume containing heavy metals
that was migrating from Cell #1 toward Fish Cove.
As a result, several drinking water wells were closed
in 1981, and the town connected all residents in the
area to a public water supply. A 1989 ROD
addressed onsite source contamination as OU1 and
provided for capping Cell #1 to reduce the potential
threat to human health and the environment by
reducing the risk of contaminant migration. This
ROD addresses onsite ground water, as OU2. Studies
conducted during the risk assessment for OU2
confirmed that the risks to human health are within
EPA's acceptable risk range; therefore, there are no
contaminants of concern affecting this site.

PASLEY SOLVENTS & CHEMICAL, NY
April 24, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The approximately 0.5-acre Pasley Solvents and
Chemical site is a former oil, solvent, and chemical
storage tank farm located in the Town of Hempstead,
Nassau County, New York. Land use in the area is
predominantly industrial, with some commercial and
residential areas within one-fourth mile of the site.
The only drinking water source in the area consists of
aquifers; four public water supply wellfields are
located within 2 miles of the site. Prior to 1969,
Commander Oil Corporation distributed fuel oil at the
site. From 1969 to 1982, Pasley Solvents and
Chemicals Company distributed chemicals and used
the site for storage of waste and sludge scavenger
(Pasley) operations. In 1980, after Pasley requested
a chemical storage and removal permit, a state
inspection revealed soil contamination with VOCs
beneath the above-ground storage tanks and
recommended a remedial investigation and clean-up
plan. In 1981, ground water monitoring wells were
installed and revealed that the ground water was also
contaminated with VOCs. All operations onsite
ceased in 1982. In 1988, all 12 above-ground storage
tanks were removed by the site owners under EPA
supervision. A separate site, upgradient from the
Pasley facility, was shown to be contributing to the
background contamination of the ground water. This
ROD addresses contaminated surface soil and ground
water as a final remedy. The primary contaminants
of concern affecting the soil and ground water are
VOCs, including benzene, PCE, TCE, toluene, and
xylenes; other organics, including PAHs; and metals,
including arsenic, chromium, and lead.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
treating 13,000 cubic yards of contaminated soil
onsite using vacuum extraction to remove aliphatic
hydrocarbons and soil flushing, as necessary, to
remove VOCs, followed by disposal of treatment
residuals at an offsite RCRA facility; ground water
pumping and onsite treatment using precipitation,
clarification, and filtration to remove heavy metals,
followed by treatment with air stripping to remove
VOCs; treating the liquid phase using granular
activated carbon as a final polishing step, with
recharge onsite into the aquifer or to infiltration
trenches; treating offgases from the air stripping
process using vapor phase activated carbon; disposing
of residual carbon and sludge generated during the
treatment processes offsite; and monitoring soil and
ground water. The estimated present net worth cost
for this remedial action is $13,744,000, which
includes an annual O&M cost of $1,236,000 for 30
years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Chemical-specific soil clean-up goals are based on
SDWA MCLs to protect ground water by the
reduction of mobility and volume of contaminants and
include PCE 1.4 mg/kg; TCE 0.7 mg/kg; toluene
1.5 mg/kg; and xylenes 1.2 mg/kg. Chemical-specific
ground water clean-up goals may be waived because
of the presence of an upgradient contamination source
from another site. Clean-up goals are based on the
upgradient concentrations of certain contaminants.
When the upgradient source has been remediated,
drinking water standards, such as SDWA MCLs and
state ground water quality regulations, will be
assigned.

PLATTSBURGH AIR FORCE BASE (OPERABLE UNIT 1), NY
September 30, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The Plattsburgh Air Force Base (AFB) site is located
south of the City of Plattsburgh, Clinton County, New
York. Surrounding land use is primarily residential
and light industrial. Ground water beneath the site is
not used as a drinking water source. Plattsburgh AFB
has historically been engaged in numerous operations
that have required the use, handling, storage, and
disposal of hazardous materials. The U.S. Air Force's
Installation Restoration Program (IRP) has identified
39 sites at Plattsburgh AFB as having suspected
contamination by hazardous materials. One of these
sites, the 10.1-acre LF-023 landfill, is located
approximately 300 feet from the Plattsburgh AFB
western boundary, and 600 feet northeast of a small
mobile home development. From 1966 to 1981, the
landfill received domestic wastes for disposal. Daily
operations consisted of digging 25-foot-deep trenches,
spreading and compacting the trash (typically bagged
household garbage), and backfilling with 6-inch layers
of sandy soil. Hazardous wastes were not routinely
disposed of in this landfill; however, hazardous
materials may have been deposited. Secondary
growth has begun to cover the landfill, allowing a
northern section of the site to be utilized as an
exercise training/obstacle course. Air Force site
investigations have revealed soil, sediment, surface
water, and ground water contamination. This ROD
addresses a final source control remedy for the
contaminated soil, sediment, ground water, and
surface water at the site, as OU1. Future RODs are
planned to address other OUs at the Base. The
primary contaminants of concern affecting the soil,
sediment, ground water, and surface water are VOCs,
including benzene and xylenes; other organics,
including PAHs and PCBs; and metals, including
arsenic.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
clearing and grubbing the site; establishing a low-
permeability vegetated cover system over the landfill;
diverting the surface water runoff to minimize erosion
of the cover and maintenance requirements; installing
a gas detection and monitoring system; developing a
post-closure plan to monitor, maintain, and inspect the
site; monitoring ground water and surface water; and
implementing institutional controls including deed
restrictions. The estimated present worth cost for this
remedial action is $4,574,000, which includes an
estimated present worth O&M cost of $988,000 for
30 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Chemical-specific soil, sediment, and surface water
clean-up goals were not developed for the LF-023
source control action because discrete source areas
were not found. Clean-up levels for other
contaminated media associated with the site will be
established in a subsequent ROD, if necessary.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS:
Institutional controls for this site will be incorporated
into the Plattsburgh AFB Comprehensive Plan to
ensure that future owners will be made aware of the
landfill location, and to ensure that the integrity of the
liners and final cover will not be compromised.

PLATTSBURGH AIR FORCE BASE (OPERABLE UNIT 3), NY
September 30, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The Plattsburgh Air Force Base (AFB) site is located
south of the City of Plattsburgh, Clinton County, New
York. Surrounding land use is primarily residential
and light industrial. Although two aquifers underlie
the site, ground water is not used as a drinking water
source. Plattsburgh AFB has historically been
engaged in numerous operations that have required
the use, handling, storage, and disposal of hazardous
materials. The U.S. Air Force's Installation
Restoration Program (IRP) has identified 39 sites at
Plattsburgh AFB as having suspected contamination
by hazardous materials. One of these sites, the 13-
acre LF-022 landfill, is located on the western side of
the Base, 1,350 feet north of a small mobile home
development. From 1959 to 1966, the landfill
received domestic wastes from Plattsburgh AFB for
disposal. Daily operations consisted of digging 25-
foot-deep trenches, spreading and burning the trash in
the trenches, and covering it with sandy soil.
Appropriate methods for hazardous waste disposal
were available at the Base during the operating period
of the landfill; therefore, it is unlikely that LF-022
received any hazardous waste. Air Force site
investigations revealed surface and subsurface soil
contamination as well as limited ground water
contamination. This ROD addresses the contaminated
soil at the site, as OU3, to minimize potential current
and future ecological risks associated with exposure
to pesticides in surface soil. Future RODs are
planned to address other OUs at the Base. The
primary contaminants of concern affecting the soil
and debris are VOCs; other organics, including
pesticides; and metals, including chromium and lead.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION;
The selected remedial action for this site includes
clearing and grubbing the landfill site; diverting
surface water runoff to minimize erosion of the cover
and minimize maintenance requirements; covering the
landfill with a 12-inch soil cover; re vegetating the
area to minimize erosion and enhance
evapotranspiration; developing a post-closure plan to
monitor, maintain, and inspect the site; monitoring
ground water; and implementing institutional controls
including deed restrictions. The estimated present
worth cost for this remedial action is $2,114,000,
which includes a present worth O&M cost of
$866,000 for 30 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Chemical-specific soil and ground water clean-up
levels were not developed because none of the
contaminants of concern identified in the baseline risk
assessment were found to pose an unacceptable risk
to either human health or the environment.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS:
Institutional controls for the site will be incorporated
into the Plattsburgh AFB Comprehensive Plan to
ensure that future owners are aware of the landfill
location and that the integrity of the final cover will
not be compromised.

PREFERRED PLATING, NY
September 28, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 0.88-acre Preferred Plating site is a former metal
plating facility in Farmingdale, Town of Babylon,
Suffolk County, New York. Land use in the area is
mixed, with commercial and light industrial use to the
east and west, a residential area and U.S. Army
facility to the south, and a wooded area to the north.
An estimated 10,000 people who live within a 3-mile
radius of the site use ground water as the principal
source of drinking water. The naturally occurring
surface soil type is a sandy loam, which promotes
rapid infiltration to the ground water. From 1951 to
1976, Preferred Plating Corporation (PPC) operated a
metal plating facility that degreased, cleaned, and
finished metal parts. This process resulted in the
onsite generation, storage, and disposal of hazardous
waste. Untreated wastewater was discharged to four
onsite concrete waste storage pits. In 1953, the
County found that the waste pits were cracked and
leaking and detected metals in ground water at the
site. In 1975, an SPDES permit was issued to PPC to
treat and then remove the wastewater. However, the
facility never complied with permit requirements. In
1976, PPC declared bankruptcy: subsequent owners
have not conducted similar operations onsite. A 1989
ROD addressed the VOCs and metal-contaminated
ground water onsite and upgradient. A subsequent
RI/FS detected VOCs and metals in subsurface soil
around the waste storage pits, the former sanitary
leaching pool, and the former steam condensate
leaching pool and line. This ROD addresses
subsurface soil contamination contributing to the
ground water problem attributable to the site. A
future OU will address the potentially contaminated
upgradient ground water as the final site remedy. The
primary contaminants of concern affecting the soil are
VOCs, including benzene, PCE, TCE, toluene, and
xylenes; metals, including arsenic, chromium, and
lead; and inorganics, including cyanide.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes jet
grouting of the building's foundation to stabilize the
foundation during excavation; excavating
approximately 700 cubic yards of contaminated soil
from the waste storage pit area and approximately
350 cubic yards of contaminated soil from within,
around, and beneath the former sanitary leaching pool
and former steam condensate leaching pool and line
areas; treating the soil offsite using solidification/
stabilization or another appropriate technology still to
be determined, with offsite disposal at a RCRA-
permitted facility; and backfilling the excavated areas
with clean soil. The estimated present worth cost for
this remedial action is $1,423,700. No O&M costs
are associated with this remedial action.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Prior to disposal, the contaminated soil will be treated
to comply with RCRA LDRs. Chemical-specific soil
clean-up levels were not provided.

RAMAPO LANDFILL, NY
March 31, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 60-acre former landfill site is located on a 96-
acre tract in the Town of Ramapo, Rockland County,
New York, about 35 miles northwest of New York
City. Utility corridors lie on three sides of the site,
including high-voltage power transmission lines. A
high-pressure gas line is to the south; a pistol range,
northeast; and a power substation, north of the site.
Surface water bodies in the site area include the
Ramapo River, Torne Brook, and Candle Brook. The
Ramapo River may be used as a drinking water
source, and Torne Brook is suitable for primary
contact recreation. The landfill consists of two major
lobes that are steeply sloped toward the Ramapo
River and Torne Brook. Ground water is withdrawn
from the area south and west of the site for residential
use. Ten water supply wells, operated by the Spring
Valley Water Supply Company and serving a
population of over 200,000, are located along the
Ramapo River both upstream and downstream of the
site. Several of these wells are located within
1,500 feet of the landfill; the closest lies
approximately 500 feet west of the site. Prior to
landfill operations in the 1950's and 1960's, portions
of the site were excavated as a gravel source, and in
1971, the Rockland County Department of Health
granted a permit to the Town of Ramapo for the
operation of the sanitary landfill. Until 1984,
municipal waste was accepted in the landfill, and
construction and demolition debris was accepted at
the site until 1989. An offsite leachate collection
system, constructed in 1984, currently discharges an
average flow of 80,000 gallons per day to the Village
of Suffern Wastewater Treatment Plant. The site is
currently being used as a compaction and transfer
facility by the Town of Ramapo. Trash and debris
are weighed at a weigh station/guardhouse, compacted
at a baler facility in the northeastern corner of the
site, and transferred to the Al Turi Landfill in Goshen,
New York. This ROD represents the entire remedial
action for the site by controlling source of
contamination and the generation of leachate, and
treatment of contaminated ground water. The primary
contaminants of concern affecting the soil, debris,
ground water, and surface water are VOCs, including
benzene and xylenes; other organics, including PAHs
and phenols; and metals, including arsenic, chromium,
and lead.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
installing a multi-media cap over the 60-acre landfill;
improving the existing leachate collection system;
diverting surface water drainage; and relocating and/or
raising Torne Valley Road to allow for filling;
installing ground water extraction wells to supplement
the existing leachate collection system, and treating
the extracted ground water and leachate offsite at the
Suffern Wastewater Treatment Plant; conducting long-
term ground water, surface water, and perimeter air
monitoring with venting or control, as required;
implementing institutional controls, including deed
restrictions; and providing for a contingency remedy
to provide preliminary design of the alternate water
supply system, and ground water pretreatment and
landfill gas treatment systems, if necessary. The
estimated present worth cost for this remedial action
ranges from $19,890,000 to $26,423,000, which
includes an annual O&M cost ranging from $319,800
to $678,600 for 30 years. The present worth cost for
the contingency remedy ranges from $24,890,000 to
$30,880,000, which includes an annual of $319,600 to
$622,600 for 30 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Chemical-specific goals for leachate and shallow
ground water clean-up are based on the more stringent
New York State Water Quality Criteria standards.
Surface water standards are based on the more
stringent of human and aquatic ARARs.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS:
Deed and access restrictions, including posting and
fencing the landfill will prevent any activities which
may compromise the integrity of the cap.

ROBINTECH/NATIONAL PIPE, NY
March 31, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 12.7-acre Robintech/National Pipe Company site
is a light industrial facility located in the Town of
Vestal, Broome County, New York. The facility is
situated in a regionally important industrial center
adjacent to Binghamton, NY, where an estimated
5,500 people live within 1 mile of the site. Two
distinct aquifers, which underlie the facility, provide
250,000 gallons of water per day for 10 onsite
production wells to meet requirements for cooling
water in the pipe production process. There are no
private drinking water wells in the vicinity of the site.
All residents are supplied with drinking water by the
Vestal well fields. In 1966, Robinson Technical
Products, later renamed Robintech Inc., constructed
the main building that currently exists onsite. The
first floor of the building was used to manufacture
aircraft engine mounts and automobile accelerator
cables; the second floor housed the assembly area for
electronic cable. In 1970, the first floor activities
were replaced with polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe
extrusion operations. Since that time, several
successive site owners have continued PVC pipe
production at the site. During site operations, cooling
waters from the PVC operations were discharged to
an onsite settling tank to reduce paniculate matter
before entering the storm sewer. In 1984, a routine
state permit discharge compliance sample found
organic constituents not included in the permit.
Further investigation resulted in the conclusion that
ground water contamination beneath the site
originated from reinjection of wastewater into the
PW-2 production well. This ROD is the first of two
operable units planned for the site and addresses
remediation of the contaminated ground water. A
future ROD will address suspected lead contamination
of onsite soil as OU2. The primary contaminants of
concern affecting the ground water are VOCs,
including 1,1 -DCE, 1,2-DCE, 1,1,1-TCA, TCE, vinyl
chloride, and xylenes.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The remedial action for this site includes onsite
pumping and treatment of contaminated ground water
from the bedrock and overburden aquifers using air
stripping to remove VOCs, followed by discharge of
the treated water to the permitted effluent discharge
point or, depending on plant requirements, use of the
treated water in the plant process; utilizing air
emission controls, if determined to be necessary
during the RD phase; conducting a semi-annual
monitoring program for 10 wells and the effluent
discharge to track the migration and concentration of
contaminants; invoking an ARAR waiver as
contingency measure, if the continued monitoring and
adjustments to the treatment system indicate that
portions of the aquifer cannot be restored to beneficial
use; and implementing institutional controls including
onsite and offsite deed restrictions to restrict ground
water use. The estimated present worth cost for this
remedial action is $2,255,877, which includes an
annual O&M cost of $242,286 for 15 to 30 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
The selected remedy will achieve chemical-specific
ARARs based on SDWA MCLs and state equivalents
for the site, including TCE 5 ug/1; 1,1-DCE 5 ug/1;
1,2-DCE 5 ug/1; 1,1,1-TCA 5 ug/1; and vinyl chloride
2 ug/1. Air emissions from the stripping treatment
operations will comply with state requirements for air
resources.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS:
Deed restrictions will be recommended to appropriate
authorities in order to prevent extraction of
contaminated ground water for potable purposes.

ROWE INDUSTRIES GROUNDWATER CONTAMINATION, NY
September 30, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION;
The 8.5-acre Rowe Industries Groundwater
Contamination site is located in the Town of Sag
Harbor, Suffolk County, New York. Land use in the
surrounding area is mixed industrial, commercial, and
residential. Approximately 6,000 people within a 3-
mile radius of the site use ground water as their
primary drinking water source. Site features include
a building that covers 1 acre of the site, and two
ponds located 300 and 700 feet to the northeast of the
building. Additionally, there is a wetland area onsite.
From the 1950's to the 1960's, Rowe Industries
occupied the site and manufactured small electric
motors and transformers. Chlorinated solvents were
used to degrease oil-coated metals, and waste solvents
were discharged from two tanks in the building into
cesspools or to an open field 75 to 100 feet east of
the building. A series of dry wells was used to
dispose of organic solvents while Rowe Industries
was in operation. From the late 1960's until 1974,
the property was used by two other companies, Rowe
Industries-Aurora Plastics, Inc., and Nabisco, Inc. In
1980, the site was sold to Sag Harbor Industries,
which currently uses the property as a facility to
manufacture electronic devices. VOC-contaminated
ground water was first discovered by the County in
1983, when several local private wells were sampled.
In 1985, EPA undertook a removal action to provide
an alternate water supply to residents in the vicinity
of the ground water plume. This ROD addresses a
final remedy for the contamination in soil and ground
water attributable to the site. The primary
contaminants of concern affecting the soil and ground
water are VOCs, including benzene, PCE, TCE,
toluene, and xylenes; and metals, including arsenic,
chromium, and lead.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
excavating 365 cubic yards of contaminated soil,
treating the soil offsite using incineration or another
equivalent technology to meet LDR disposal
standards, then disposing the soil at an offsite RCRA
landfill; conducting soil sampling to confirm that all
soil contaminated above clean-up levels has been
removed; pumping and onsite pretreatment of
contaminated ground water to remove iron and
manganese, followed by filtration to remove metals
and air stripping to remove VOCs, with offsite
discharge to surface water; treating air emissions, if
necessary; and implementing a long-term ground
water monitoring program. The estimated present
worth cost for this remedial action is $6,187,000,
which includes an annual O&M cost of $254,000 for
15 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Chemical-specific soil excavation goals are
established to ensure that soil contaminants do not
contribute to ground water contamination, and include
benzene 0.5 mg/kg; PCE 1.5 mg/kg; TCE 1 mg/kg;
toluene 1.5 mg/kg; and xylenes 1.2 mg/kg.
Additionally, excavated soil sent for offsite disposal
will be treated, if necessary, according to RCRA LDR
standards. Chemical-specific ground water clean-up
goals are based on SDWA MCLs and MCLGs,
including arsenic 25 ug/1; chloroform 7 ug/1; PCE 5
ug/1; TCE 5 ug/1; toluene 5 ug/1; and xylenes 5 ug/1.
Treated ground water discharged to Sag Harbor Cove
will meet state discharge requirements.

WITCO CHEMICAL (OAKLAND PLANT), NJ
September 28, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 9-acre Witco Chemical (Oakland Plant) site, a
former technical research facility for the development
of specialty chemicals, is located in Oakland, Bergen
County, New Jersey. The Borough of Oakland has a
population of approximately 13,000 people, and with
the exception of one residential well, the area
downgradient from the site is supplied by a municipal
water supply system. From 1966 to 1984, the Witco
Chemical Corporation (Witco) neutralized laboratory
wastewater in a 2,000-gallon underground acid
neutralizing tank, and then discharged it to a series of
underground seepage pits. In 1982, the state
inspected the facility to review operations and
wastewater management practices for compliance with
the State Water Pollution Control Act. The
investigation revealed that Witco had conducted
unpermitted discharge of industrial wastewater to
ground water at the site. In 1982, the state ordered
Witco to take measures to cease unpermitted
discharges. In response to state directives, Witco
initiated a hydrogeological investigation in 1982 and
determined that site soil, sludge, and ground water
contained various organic compounds. Witco then
replaced its underground seepage pit with a 6,000-
gallon capacity fiberglass tank. In 1985, EPA
evaluated the potential contamination attributed to
Witco's previous operation of .the underground
seepage pit system and detected several chemicals of
concern, including 2-butanone and the pesticides DDT
and dieldrin. From 1987 to 1988, Witco voluntarily
disposed of approximately 720 cubic yards of soil and
other debris and fourteen 55-gallon drums of sludge
that were shown to contain greater than 100 ppm of
petroleum hydrocarbons; and collected and analyzed
ground water samples from monitoring wells at the
facility. This ROD addresses any remaining soil and
ground water contamination resulting from site
activities. Based on the results of remedial
investigations, the removal of the seepage pits and
surrounding soil by Witco during 1987 has effectively
remediated the contamination at the site. Therefore,
there are no contaminants of concern affecting this
site.

ABEX, VA
September 29, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The Abex site is a former brass and bronze foundry
in Portsmouth, Virginia. Land use in the surrounding
area is mixed residential, commercial, and light
industrial. The site is located approximately one-half
mile west of Elizabeth River, within the 500-year
floodplain for the South branch of the River. The
Elizabeth River Basin is heavily industrialized and
receives wastewater discharges from U.S. Naval
facilities, heavy industry, treatment facilities, urban
runoff, and boating and docking facilities. From 1928
to 1978, Abex operated a facility that melted used
railroad car journal bearings into sand molds to cast
new railroad car bearings. The sand casts became
laden with metals such as lead, antimony, copper, tin,
and zinc. The foundry operations also produced stack
emissions of fine particulate matter. During Abex's
operations, waste sand was disposed of in a 1-acre
area immediately north of the foundry. In 1984,
Holland Investment and Manufacturing Corporation
purchased the portion of the Abex site that contains
the former foundry, which included five buildings and
is referred to as the Holland Property. In 1986, EPA
discovered high levels of lead in the foundry waste
within the Abex Lot and in the soil of many
neighboring residential lots. That same year, Abex
performed a removal action to excavate and remove
lead-contaminated soil from residential areas around
the Abex lot, and to pave and fence the Abex and
McCready Lots. In 1992, Abex excavated and
removed additional contaminated soil from adjacent
properties. This ROD addresses contamination in soil
and waste materials on the Holland Property, Abex
Lot, and McCready Lot and in the surrounding
properties within a 700-foot radius of the foundry
facility, as OU1. Future RODs will further
investigate ground water, ecological impacts, and
additional remediation of the soil for OU2. The
primary contaminants of concern affecting the soil are
organics, including PAHs and PCBs; and metals,
inlcuding chromium and lead.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
demolishing all foundry operations buildings, with
removal and decontamination of associated equipment
and demolition debris at an offsite landfill;
temporarily relocating residents during soil
excavation; removing and disposing of offsite any
asphalt and concrete from paved areas prior to soil
removal; excavating surface soil with lead
concentrations greater than 500 mg/kg and subsurface
soil with concentrations of lead exceeding 1,000
mg/kg from non-residential areas, from around
foundations, and under residences in affected
residential areas; temporarily storing these onsite prior
to treatment; testing, then treating any soil that
exhibits TCLP toxicity onsite using stabilization;
retesting the treated materials to ensure they meet
RCRA LDR requirements, followed by transporting
and disposing of treated and untreated soil and waste
materials offsite at a RCRA landfill; disposing of
water generated during the treatment processes offsite
at a POTW; backfilling all excavated areas with clean
fill; installing erosion and sediment control measures;

BROWN'S BATTERY BREAKING, PA
July 2, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 14-acre Brown's Battery Breaking site is an
inactive lead acid battery processing facility in Tilden
Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania. The area
surrounding the site is primarily agricultural with
scattered rural residences. The site is bordered by
Conrail tracks and Mill Creek. The entire site lies
within the 100-year floodplain of the Schuylkill River.
From 1961 to 1971, the facility recovered lead-
bearing materials from automobile and truck batteries
by breaking the battery casings, draining the acid, and
recovering the lead alloy, grids, plates, and plugs.
During this time, battery acid and rinse water from
recovery activities were dumped onto the soil, and
crushed casings were disposed of onsite or used as a
substitute for road gravel. During the 1980's, state
onsite and offsite investigations identified lead
concentrations in excess of acceptable limits in
residents' blood levels, livestock, soil, and surface
waters. A 1983 EPA investigation also revealed
extensive lead contamination in onsite soil and
sediment located in the Schuylkill River. As a result
of the investigations, EPA initiated a removal action
that relocated three families, and excavated and
consolidated 13,000 cubic yards of contaminated soil
and battery casings into an onsite containment area,
which was capped with a low permeability cap. In
1990, a second removal temporarily relocated all
onsite residents and implemented institutional
controls. A 1990 ROD addressed implementation of
deed restrictions and relocation of affected residents.
This ROD addresses the remediation of onsite soil,
battery casings, and ground water as a final action at
the site. The primary contaminants of concern
affecting the soil, debris, and ground water are metals,
including lead and nickel; and inorganics, including
sulfate.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
excavating and treating 67,000 cubic yards of soil and
battery casings offsite using an innovative thermal
treatment technology, followed by offsite disposal;
constructing two vertical limestone barriers in the
shallow aquifer to neutralize lead levels; pumping and
treatment of contaminated ground water in the
bedrock aquifer using pH adjustment, precipitation,
and ion exchange, with onsite discharge; transporting
sludge generated during the treatment process offsite
for disposal at a POTW; monitoring ground water;
and implementing institutional controls, including
deed restrictions to limit site use; providing for a
contingent remedy, which allows for
stabilization/solidification of the soil and casings,
followed by offsite disposal of the stabilized mass, if
the selected innovative alternative cannot be
implemented. The estimated present worth cost for
this remedial action is $12,316,000. No O&M costs
were specified in this ROD.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Clean-up levels for lead-contaminated soil are based
on present EPA policy. An ARAR waiver has been
issued on the basis that EPA will achieve an
Equivalent Standard of Performance in the protection
of human health and the environment. The
recommended action level for residential areas is
between 500 and 1,000 mg/kg, but no criterion for
industrial areas has been established. EPA, therefore,
has determined 1,000 mg/kg as the clean-up level for
the lead-contaminated soil. Ground water clean-up
goals for the shallow bedrock aquifer are based on
CWA WQC and state standards. Chemical-specific
clean-up goals for this site are background levels
except for manganese, which must be cleaned to
50 mg/1 (state). Other ground water goals include
beryllium 0.19 ug/1 (WQC); cadmium 0.88 ug/1
(WQC); lead <3 ug/1 (WQC); manganese 50 ug/1
(state); nickel 2.9 ug/1 (WQC); and sulfate 27 ug/1
(WQC ).
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS:
Deed restrictions will be implemented limit the site to
industrial use only.

BUTZ LANDFILL, PA
June 30, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION;
The Butz Landfill is an inactive landfill in Jackson
Township, Monroe County, Pennsylvania. The 1.5-
square-mile site extends into Pocono Township and
includes the known extent of contamination and the
8.5-acre landfill. The sole source aquifer underlying
the site supplies drinking water for approximately
3,300 people who live within 3 miles of the site and
an additional 3,000 people during summer tourist
seasons. In 1963, the property was purchased by the
Butz family for landfill development. Beginning in
1965, municipal waste, sewage sludge/liquids, and
possibly some industrial wastes were accepted at the
landfill. During the years that the landfill operated,
the waste was disposed of without a state permit. In
1971, onsite investigations revealed well water
contamination and the presence of leachate seeps. By
1973, the state ordered the landfill closed and
required that corrective measures be taken, including
the development of a surface water management plan,
ground water monitoring, and placement of a cover
over the landfill. In 1986, additional onsite
investigations revealed high TCE levels in domestic
wells to the south of the landfill, which prompted a
request to EPA that the site be considered for
emergency action. The same year, the state and EPA
initiated emergency response activities, including
additional sampling, installing water coolers, and
supplying bottled water or carbon filters to homes
with contaminated well water. A 1990 ROD
addressed the first of two operable units, establishing
an alternate water supply. This ROD addresses OU2,
designed to prevent human exposure to contaminated
ground water. The primary contaminants of concern
affecting the ground water are VOCs, including
benzene, PCE, and TCE.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
installing ground water extraction wells immediately
downgradient from the landfill in the area of
suspected ground water and DNAPLs contamination;
extracting and transporting ground water to an
appropriate treatment facility and treating the
extracted water using either chemical precipitation,
followed by air stripping with vapor phase carbon
units to control emissions or granular activated
carbon, as determined during the RD phase;
discharging^the treated ground water onsite to surface
water; and disposing of residuals produced during the
treatment process offsite. The estimated present
worth cost for this remedial action ranges from
$11,012,000 to $14,495,000, (depending on the final
treatment selected during the RD), which includes an
annual O&M cost ranging from $561,000 to $861,000
for up to 10 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Clean-up goals for ground water are based on SDWA
MCLs and state standards designed to achieve
background levels for all of the VOCs in the ground
water, thereby restoring the ground water to its
beneficial use as a drinking water source.
Background concentrations will be determined by
EPA based on contaminant concentrations in
upgradient monitoring wells.

C&D RECYCLING, PA
September 30, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 110-acre C&D Recycling site is a former metals
recycling facility located along Brickyard Road in
Foster Township, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania.
Land use in the area is predominantly agricultural and
residential, with fields and wooded areas to the west
and north of the site and a residential development
located northeast of the site. Mill Hopper Creek, a
small stream, is located on the property and flows
into a man-made pond to the south of the site.
Ground water underlying the property is used for
drinking water purposes. From 1963 to 1978, Lurgan
Corporation operated a metals reclamation business,
which recovered copper and/or lead from cable or
scrap metal transported to the site. Five onsite
furnaces were used to burn and process the cable, and
these activities resulted in extensive contamination of
the surrounding soil and sediment. Based on site
documentation and reports by local residents, burning
also took place in onsite pits. Lurgan Corporation
drawings indicate that water used in the metals
processing area was collected in a trench drain and
directed to a leach pit (dry well). In 1979, the
business was conveyed to C&D Recycling, who
continued to operate the facility until 1984, when
operations ceased. In 1984, the state collected soil
and ash samples, which identified elevated levels of
both lead and copper. In 1985, the state and C&D
Recycling arranged for the excavation and offsite
recycling of 134,200 pounds of lead-contaminated ash
and soil at a lead refining center. In 1987, EPA
required AT&T Nassau Metals Corporation, a
potentially responsible party, to consolidate and cover
piles of ash onsite and to construct sedimentation and
erosion controls to minimize soil migration from the
site in surface water runoff. Two underground
storage tanks were also removed, decontaminated, and
disposed. This ROD addresses a final remedy for the
onsite contaminated soil, sediment, and debris. The
primary contaminants of concern affecting the soil,
sediment, and debris are metals, including arsenic,
chromium, and lead.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION;
The selected remedial action for this site includes
excavating and stabilizing onsite 20,565 cubic yards
of contaminated soil and sediment with lead levels
greater than 500 mg/kg, along with the onsite ash,
followed by disposal in an offsite landfill;
decontaminating and/or demolishing contaminated
buildings and structures with offsite disposal or
decontamination and recycling of dismantled material
and equipment; conducting post-excavation/removal
sampling to confirm that clean-up levels are met;
removing any casings and wire for offsite disposal or
recycling; abandoning wells that serve no useful long-
term purpose; grading and revegetating excavated
areas; monitoring air, ground water, and surface
water; and implementing institutional controls,
including deed restrictions. If, within 180 days of the
issuance of this ROD, EPA receives information that
indicates an onsite containment cell may be designed
and constructed, then the stabilized and
decontaminated materials may be disposed of onsite.
The estimated present worth cost for this remedial
action is $11,985,717, which includes an annual O&M
cost of $25,390.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Chemical-specific soil excavation goals and debris
decontamination goals are based on health-risk levels
and include lead 500 mg/kg; copper 3,300 mg/kg;
antimony 35 mg/kg. Excavation goals for sediment
include lead 500 mg/kg; copper 2,900 mg/kg;
antimony 35 mg/kg. All soil, sediment, and ash will
be stabilized to below RCRA TCLP levels prior to
disposal. Building surfaces will be decontaminated to
the following: lead 50 ug/m3; copper 1,000 ug/m3;
and antimony 500 ug/m3.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS:
Institutional controls in the form of deed restrictions
will be implemented for buildings and structures that
were constructed prior to 1963 and are not dismantled
and decontaminated, as well as the soil beneath them
that is left in place, to ensure public knowledge of the
location of contaminated materials and prevent land
use.

CHEM-SOLV, DE
March 31, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The Chem-Solv site, located in Cheswold, Kent
County, Delaware, occupies approximately one-third
of a 1.5-acre property and consists of a one-story
concrete building, a distillation process building, and
a concrete pad used for drum storage. Surrounding
land use is mixed agricultural, residential, and
commercial strip development. In the vicinity of the
site, the Columbia Formation functions as a thin
water-table aquifer and is a potential source of
drinking water in the area. From 1981 to 1984,
Chem-Solv, Inc., used the facility to purify spent
industrial solvents and store the distillation residues,
known as "still bottoms," for offsite disposal as
hazardous waste. After an explosion and fire at the
facility in 1984, during which stored solvents ran off
the concrete pad, a state investigation concluded that
this incident and prior hazardous waste handling
violations had resulted in soil and possible ground
water contamination of the site with VOCs. After
Chem-Solv failed to comply with a state order, the
state removed 1,300 cubic yards of contaminated soil
and a portion of the storage pad and implemented a
ground water treatment system that operated from
1985 until 1988. This ROD addresses the ground
water contamination in the Columbia aquifer. The
primary contaminants of concern affecting the ground
water are VOCs, including benzene and TCE; and
manganese, a metal.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
ground water pumping and offsite discharge to a
POTW for treatment, or as a contingency if an
agreement with the POTW cannot be reached, onsite
treatment using filtration, and air stripping with
onsite discharge to surface water; conducting ground
water monitoring and providing an alternate water
supply, including wellhead treatment to affected
residences if ground water monitoring detects
contamination in existing residential wells; removing
existing recovery wells; and implementing
institutional controls, including deed and ground water
use restrictions. The present worth cost for the
selected remedial action ranges from $660,000 to
$686,000, which includes an annual O&M cost
ranging from $57,000 to $148,000. Present worth
costs for the contingency remedy would be $688,000,
which include an annual O&M cost ranging from
$148,000 to $189,000.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Chemical-specific ground water clean-up goals are
based on SDWA MCLs or risk-based levels,
including benzene 5 ug/I (MCL); and TCE 5 ug/1
(MCL); manganese 3,000 ug/1 (risk-based).
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS:
A ground water restriction zone will be instituted and
deed restrictions will be placed on all properties
within the restriction zone until ground water clean-up
levels are achieved throughout the contaminated area.

COMMODORE SEMICONDUCTOR GROUP, PA
September 29, 1992
REGION 3
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 14-acre Commodore Semiconductor Group
(CSG) site is a manufacturing facility in Norristown,
Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. Land use in the
area is residential, commercial, and industrial with a
wetland area located within 1 mile from the site. The
site overlies a Class IIA aquifer that is used as a
source of drinking water. From 1969 to present, the
owners, including CGS, used the site to manufacture
semiconductor chips. A concrete underground storage
tank was installed adjacent to the southeast side of the
building to store a waste solution known to contain
TCE and other solvents generated from the
manufacturing process. The concrete tank was
reported to have leaked in 1974. As a result, an
unlined steel tank was installed next to the concrete
tank. Use of the concrete tank was discontinued. In
1978, a local water supplier detected TCE in two of
its wells adjacent to the site. The state identified the
CSG site as a possible TCE contaminant source.
Subsequently, in 1979, the underground storage tanks
were excavated and replaced with a waste solvent
collection system. In 1981, CSG also eliminated use
of TCE in their manufacturing process. From 1981 to
1984, to address the TCE contamination, CSG
pumped and spray irrigated water from a public
supply well, purchased and installed an air stripper for
treating contaminated ground water, implemented a
residential sampling program, and installed carbon
filter systems at affected residences. In 1984, further
state and EPA investigations confirmed contaminants
onsite in ground water and drinking water. This ROD
addresses the contamination of onsite ground water
and drinking water. The primary contaminants of
concern affecting the ground water are VOCs,
including PCE and TCE.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
extending the public water supply lines and
connecting affected residences located in areas south
of the CSG facility; abandoning contaminated wells;
continued maintenance of existing residential carbon
units, with disposal or recycling of the spent carbon
filters as determined during the remedial design
phase; installing additional ground water extraction
wells, air strippers, and vapor phase carbon units, to
treat the contaminated ground water onsite with
discharge to a public water system or reuse by the
CSG facility, with overflow discharge offsite to a
POTW; sampling ground water and treated water; and
implementing institutional controls, including ground
water well restrictions. The estimated present worth
cost for this remedial action is $5,573,700, which
includes an annual O&M cost of $446,500 for years
0-2, and $404,300 for years 3-30.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Ground water clean-up goals are based on background
levels as established by SDWA MCLs or health-based
levels, whichever are more stringent. Chemical-
specific ground water goals include 1,2-DCB 75 ug/1;
1,2-DCA 810 ug/1; PCE 5 ug/1; TCA 200 ug/1; TCE

DIXIE CAVERNS COUNTY LANDFILL, VA
September 28, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION;
The 39-acre Dixie Caverns County Landfill is a
former municipal landfill in Roanoke County,
Virginia. The surrounding land is rural, with the
nearest residence located one-half mile from the site.
The site is situated on a steep ridge between two
valleys surrounded by heavily forested mountains
traversed by small streams. Two unnamed headwater
streams receive surface water runoff from the site and
discharge to the Roanoke River, which is located
2 miles south/southeast. The landfill is currently
owned and was operated by the County of Roanoke
from 1965 until its closure in 1976. During
operation, the landfill accepted an estimated
440,000 cubic yards of municipal and industrial
wastes, including refuse, scrap metal, fly ash, and
sludge. In 1983, EPA investigations identified several
disposal areas, including a discarded drum area, a
sludge pit, and a large fly ash pile, which contained
elevated levels of metals. In 1987, EPA conducted a
removal action that addressed the drum and sludge
areas, but recommended that removal of the fly ash
be postponed. A 1991 ROD addressed the fly ash
pile as OU1 and provided for excavation and
transportation of approximately 9,000 cubic yards of
fly ash to an EPA-approved high-temperature metals
recovery facility for treatment and subsequent re-use.
In 1992, a second EPA removal action addressed the
northern drainage area and the soil in the vicinity of
and directly beneath the fly ash pile. This ROD
addresses areas at the site that were not previously
addressed by OU1 or by the 1992 removal order, as
OU2. Previous and ongoing removal and remedial
actions have addressed or will address all risks posed
by the site; therefore, there are no contaminants of
concern affecting this site.

DUBLIN WATER SUPPLY, PA
December 30, 1991
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 4.5-acre Dublin Water Supply is a former
manufacturing facility located in Dublin Borough,
Bucks County, Pennsylvania. The site consists of a
one-story tower building and parking lot. The
surrounding area is mixed commercial and residential,
with a fruit orchard bordering the site to the north and
west. Ground water beneath the site contributes to
the aquifer by providing a drinking water source to
area residents. The ground water flows toward
residential and commercial wells in the Dublin
Borough and is believed to be predominantly
controlled by bedrock fractures. Surface drainage,
which flows in a northward direction, is absorbed by
the fruit orchard or discharges to a tributary of Morris
Run located northwest of the site. Since the 1930s,
the site has been used for various industrial purposes
and has had several owners. From the early 1930's
to 1956, the site operated as a hosiery mill. In 1956,
Home Window Company of Pennsylvania used the
property for the manufacture of aluminum doors and
windows. In 1959, the property was purchased by
Kollsman Motors Corporation (KMC) and used to
manufacture mechanical and electromechanical
components that are utilized in aircraft and missiles.
During this time, TCE was used onsite and spent
product was either poured onto the ground or stored
in perforated drums. In 1973, Athlone Industries
purchased the property for cleaning, stamping, and
packaging softballs. TCE solvents were used as
degreasing agents to assemble stamping machines. In
1986, the current owner purchased the site for antique
car restoration. A portion of the site is currently
leased to Laboratory Testing, Inc., for metallurgical
testing. During a routine drinking water survey in
1986, the state discovered elevated levels of TCE
affecting approximately 170 area homes. Under
EPA's direction, the owner supplied carbon filtration
units to affected residential water supplies and
installed ground water monitoring wells, which
indicated ground water contamination with several
VOC compounds. This early action ROD addresses
the provision of a permanent clean drinking water
supply to affected area residents and businesses. An
additional RI/FS, which commenced in 1991, will
focus on remediation of the soil, ground water, and
surface water in a separate clean-up action. The
primary contaminants of concern affecting the ground
water are VOCs, including TCE and PCE.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
installing and operating a new water supply well, or
operation of the existing well within the plume,
construction and operation of an onsite air stripping
and vapor phase carbon adsorption treatment system,
or other appropriate technology for the well;
discharging the treated water to the municipal water
supply system; expanding the Dublin Borough public
distribution system to supply well and treated water to
affected residences; and monitoring the residential and
commercial wells not serviced by the public
distribution system. The estimated present worth cost
for this remedial action is $5,000,000, which includes
an annual O&M cost of $300,000 for 30 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Chemical-specific ground water standards are based
on SOW A MCLs including TCE 5 ug/1, PCE 5 ug/1;

EASTERN DIVERSIFIED METALS, PA
July 2, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION;
The 25-acre Eastern Diversified Metals site is a
former metal processing plant located in a sparsely
populated area in Rush Township, Schuylkill County,
Pennsylvania. Land use in the area is predominantly
open land with mixed residential, commercial, and
industrial use. From 1966 to 1977, Eastern
Diversified Metals operated a processing plant that
reclaimed copper and aluminum from wire and cable.
An estimated 150 million pounds of waste insulation
material, or fluff, was disposed onsite in a swale
behind the plant. This fluff, which contains poly vinyl
chloride, polyethylene insulation chips, fibrous
material, paper, soil, and metals, is contained in a 7.5-
acre pile onsite. In 1971, in response to an
application for an industrial landfill permit, a state
inspection revealed leachate from the waste pile
flowing to the Little Schuylkill River. In 1974, a
leachate collection and treatment system was installed
onsite. In 1979 and 1980, residents complained of
odors and expressed health concerns over conditions
at the site. In 1985, an investigation detected PCBs
and lead in the waste pile and metals in a
downgradient monitoring well. In 1987, a security
fence was installed around the property. A previous
ROD addressed areas of fluff, soil, sediment, and
ground water contaminated with PCBs, dioxin, and
metals. This ROD addresses a final remedy for the
remainder of the fluff onsite. Future RODs will
address soil contamination following analysis of soil
samples taken as part of this remedy and deep ground
water contamination. The primary contaminants of
concern for leaching from the fluff are organics,
including dioxin and PCBs; and metals, including
lead.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
onsite recycling of fluff into one of two forms—a
"Final Product" that requires no further offsite
processing, or a "Non-Final Product," such as plastic
pellets, which will undergo further offsite processing;
testing recycling residuals for RCRA hazardous waste
characteristics, with offsite disposal of non-RCRA
wastes and onsite treatment of RCRA wastes using a
technology to be determined based on a treatability
study; disposing of the treated wastes offsite; testing
soil underlying the fluff; and implementing erosion
and sedimentation controls. The estimated total
present worth cost for this remedial action ranges
from $13,100,000 to $21,900,000, which includes a
total O&M cost of $6,900,000.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
There are no specific performance standards for any
of the contaminants. The recycling products and the
residuals will be tested for RCRA hazardous waste
characteristics prior to use of the product or disposal
of non-recyclable residuals.

FIKE CHEMICAL, WV
March 31, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 11.9-acre Fike Chemical site is a former chemical
manufacturing plant and associated wastewater
treatment facility located in Nitro, West Virginia.
Land use in the area is predominantly industrial, with
the Kanawha River located approximately one-half
mile from the site. The estimated 2,500 people who
reside within 1 mile of the site obtain drinking water
from a treatment plant located 15 miles upstream,
which uses the Elk River as a source of water. The
facility is situated on the site of a World War I
munitions plant. In 1951, the original chemical plant
was constructed and began operating. From 1978 to
1988, Fike Chemical manufactured more than
60 chemicals at the site and disposed of drummed and
containerized wastes in pits and trenches located
throughout the facility until the facility was
abandoned in mid-1988. There are no known records
regarding the contents of the drums and containers or
details of their disposal at the site. As a result of
previous state and federal environmental enforcement
actions, EPA conducted numerous investigations that
revealed VOCs, other organics, metals, and other
inorganics in buried drums and containers. Previous
RODs addressed the removal of bulk chemicals stored
in surface drums and tanks as well as the dismantling,
decontamination, and disposal of tanks, equipment,
and structures located onsite. This interim remedy
ROD addresses the removal of buried drums and
containers as OU3 to eliminate future or continued
contamination of soil, ground water, surface water,
and the atmosphere. Future actions will address
continued investigation and possible remediation of
soil, ground water, surface water and the existing
sewer system. The primary contaminants of concern
in the buried waste pits are VOCs, including PCE;
other organics, including dioxins, pesticides, and
phenols; metals; acids; and inorganics.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
excavating between 7,000 and 17,000 buried drums
and containers; using a self-supported portable
structure to enclose active excavation areas and to
minimize organic vapor and dust emissions and
treating air emissions using an air filter and vapor
phase carbon adsorption, with offsite disposal or
incineration of the spent carbon and filters; sampling,
testing, repackaging, and shipping of drummed waste
offsite; using offsite incineration or other equivalent
treatment technologies to treat drums containing solids
and liquids; decontaminating empty drums onsite prior
to offsite disposal of treatment liquids and metals;
stabilizing/neutralizing acidic wastes prior to offsite
incineration; onsite storage of dioxin-contaminated
drummed wastes and dioxin-contaminated soil and
sludge identified during excavation for future
treatment; treating cylinders onsite using a cylinder
recovery vessel, or repackaging for offsite disposal;
backfilling excavated areas; employing storm water
management or erosion controls to divert surface
water from the site; monitoring air; and treating any
ground water collected during the excavation at the
cooperative sewage treatment plant. The estimated
present worth cost for this remedial action is
$16,059,000. There are no O&M costs associated
with this remedial action.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Although this interim action does not provide for
chemical-specific clean-up standards, it does provide
for the removal of source contamination in accordance
with state and federal requirements. Performance
standards will be established in future OUs addressing
site media contamination.

LINDANE DUMP, PA
March 31, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION;
The 61.8-acre Lindane Dump is located in the
Allegheny River Valley in Harrison Township, near
Natron, Pennsylvania. Land use in the area is mixed
residential, commercial, recreational, manufacturing,
and special use. The site is divided into both upper
and lower project areas separated by steeply sloping
areas. The majority of both the upper and lower
areas have been graded and form terraces on the
hillside extending from the residential areas, located
north and northeast of the project site. The upper
area consists of fill and waste materials. The
Allegheny River, which is the major surface water
stream in the area, provides the public drinking water
supply for the Township. From 1850 to 1980, the
lower portion of the site, the 47.5 acres owned by the
Allegheny Ludlum Corporation, was used for waste
disposal. The area beneath the site was mined
extensively for coal from the latter part of the 19th
century to the first half of the 20th century. In 1985,
Pennsylvania Salt Manufacturing Company (later
known as Pennsalt, then Pennwalt) used the site for
waste disposal of mining tailings and cinders.
Tailings from the mining operations and cinders
(bottom ash) from steam and electrical power
generation at the plant were placed onsite, and
sulfuric acid was produced at the Pennsalt plant. This
operation was discontinued prior to 1920 and resultant
cinder and slag, along with cryolite ore tailings, BHC
(Lindane) filter cake residuals containing pesticides,
and waste sulfuric acid containing DDT were
disposed of onsite. In 1965, after the property was
sold to Allegheny Ludlum Corporation, other
wastes—including construction wastes, industrial
waste treatment plant sludge, coke, rubber tires, and
slag—were disposed of onsite. During 1976 and
1977, the Alsco Community Park was constructed by
the Harrison Township on a 14.3-acre tract of the
upper site area that had been previously used as a
waste disposal site. In addition, fill material from an
unknown source was placed and graded into the park.
This ROD addresses onsite contaminated soil and
controlling ground water and surface water
contamination. The primary contaminants of concern
affecting the soil, sediment, debris, and ground water
are VOCs, including benzene; other organics
including pesticides such as DDT, Lindane, and
phenols; and metals, including arsenic and lead.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION;
The selected remedial action for this site includes
installing a multi-layer cap where side slopes are
stabilized; constructing a combination clay and soil
cap where site slopes are unstable, and vegetating the
capped areas; upgrading the existing leachate/shallow
ground water collection system, and treating leachate
and shallow ground water using air stripping, with
onsite discharge to the Allegheny River; disposing of
sludge generated during the treatment process offsite
at an approved facility; constructing and maintaining
a perimeter fence; monitoring ground water and
surface water; restoring the Alsco Community park;
and implementing institutional controls, including
deed restrictions. The estimated present worth cost
for this remedial action is $14,122,500, which
includes an annual O&M cost ranging from $634,000
to $634,700 for 30 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Chemical-specific goals for leachate and shallow
ground water clean-up goals are based on the more
stringent Pennsylvania state water quality criteria
standards or SDWA MCLs, and include gamma BHC
(Lindane) 0.2 ug/1 and benzene 5 ug/1. An ARAR
waiver is being issued for ground water based on
technical impracticability of capturing all ground
water due to the complex hydrogeologic conditions at
the site, the possibility of subsidence and site damage
due to extensive pumping, and the potential for
migration during the pumping.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS:
Institutional controls including deed restrictions will
be implemented to prevent any activities that may
compromise the integrity of the cap.

MW MANUFACTURING, PA
June 30, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 15-acre MW Manufacturing Site is a former
copper recovery facility in Monitor County,
Pennsylvania. Land use in the area is mixed farmland
and residential with a wetlands area, Amuses Creek,
located 700 feet west of the site. The estimated
5,200 people who reside within 1/4 mile of the site
use private ground water wells as their drinking water
source. From 1969 to 1972, MW Manufacturing
Company, which is a subsidiary of Nile Corporation,
used the site for copper recovery from scrap wire,
using both mechanical and chemical processes.
During this time generated carbon wastes by the
chemical process and generated fluff material (fibrous
insulation materials contaminated with metals and
solvents) were dumped onsite, and spent solvents
were allegedly disposed of onsite. In 1972, MW
Manufacturing filed for bankruptcy and the
Philadelphia National Bank acquired the property by
default. In 1976, Warehouse 81, Inc., acquired the
site and unsuccessfully attempted to recover copper
from the large waste piles of fluff material. In 1982,
the state performed an initial remedial investigation
that revealed several areas posing potential threats to
public health: the carbon waste pile; four wire-fluff
waste piles; a surface impoundment; a buried lagoon;
and contaminated soil, drums, and storage tanks.
Based on this investigation, the site has been divided
into three OUs to address cleanup of all contaminated
media. A 1989 ROD (OU1) addressed the carbon
waste pile by excavating the carbon waste pile and
incinerating the waste offsite. A 1990 ROD (OU2)
addressed treating the fluff waste, contaminated soil,
drums, tanks, and the lagoon. This ROD provides a
final remedy for the contaminated of the ground water
and the adjacent wetland areas as OUS. The primary
contaminants of concern affecting the ground water
are VOCs, including benzene, PCE, and TCE; other
organics, including PAHs, pesticides, and phenols;
and metals.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION;
The selected remedial action for this site includes
constructing a public water supply system to supply
drinking water to present and future affected
residences; extracting contaminated ground water and
treating the water onsite using chemical precipitation
to remove inorganics, and air stripping to remove
VOCs; treating effluent from the air stripping process
using carbon adsorption to remove organics, followed
by onsite discharge to surface water; treating air
emissions from the air stripping process using thermal
destruction, and recycling the residual carbon waste
offsite; disposing of any collected free product
offsite; dewatering and disposing of sludge generated
during the treatment process offsite at a RCRA
landfill; and implementing a ground water monitoring
program. If it is determined by EPA and the state
that certain portions of the aquifer cannot be restored
to background levels, the ROD specifies modification
of the selected remedy, which include engineering
controls; physical barriers, or long-term pumping to
contain contamination; institutional controls to limit
access; and waiver of chemical-specific ARARs for
portions of the aquifer where further contaminant
reduction is impracticable. The estimated present
worth cost for this remedial action is $37,402,000,
which includes an annual O&M cost of $1,568,000
for 30 years, with $20,000 additional every 5 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Ground water clean-up goals are based on state
standards, SDWA MCLs and MCLGs under SDWA,
CWA, Pennsylvania Clean Streams Law, and
background levels. The clean-up goals will attain
background concentrations that will be determined
during the remedial design. In the event that the
background concentration of the contaminant is not
detected, the most stringent chemical-specific ground
water clean-up goal will be met.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS;
As part of a contingency, institutional controls may be
implemented if necessary to restrict access to portions
of the aquifer.

PAOLI RAIL YARD, PA
July 21, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION;
The 428-acre Paoli Rail Yard site is a maintenance,
storage, and repair facility located north of Paoli in
Chester County, Pennsylvania. The site consists of
the 28-acre rail yard and the surrounding 400-acre
watershed. The site, which is mainly wooded, is
bordered to the north by residential areas and to the
south by commercial developments. Since 1915, the
rail yard has provided general maintenance and repair
support for rail cars. The site operates five track
areas used for multiple rail lines, a power house, a
freight house, and a repair shop. Prior to 1968, the
site was owned by Pennsylvania Railroad, after which
it changed hands several times. Contamination of the
soil in and around the car shop is attributed to
releases of fuel oil and PCB-laden transformer fluid
from rail cars during maintenance and repair
activities. In 1985, EPA identified PCB
contamination in soil and sediment, and on building
surfaces. The rail companies agreed to address site
clean-up activities, including erosion, sedimentation,
and storm water characteristics and control,
decontamination, soil sampling, excavation of
3,500 cubic yards residential soil and implementation
of worker protection measures. Further EPA
investigations identified soil samples in and around
the car shop, parallel to the rail tracks, and 10 feet
below the facility that were contaminated by fuel oil
in the form of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and
xylenes (BTEX). Sediment samples taken from the
three creeks that drained the general rail area also
showed PCB contamination decreasing further from
the rail yard. Soil samples taken from residences
lying adjacent to the facility identified topsoil
contamination presumably resulting from soil erosion
from the rail yard. This ROD provides a final
remedy for contaminated soil (from the rail yard and
residences), sediment, and structures at the Paoli Rail
Yard, and contaminated ground water. The primary
contaminants of concern affecting the soil, sediment,
debris, and ground water are VOCs, including
benzene, toluene, and xylenes; and other organics,
including PCBs.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
excavating and onsite treatment of approximately
28,000 cubic yards of contaminated soil with PCB
concentrations of 25 mg/kg or greater, 3,000 cubic
yards of previously excavated contaminated residential
soil currently stored in an onsite containment cell with
PCBs greater than 2 mg/kg, and stream sediment with
PCB concentrations exceeding 1 mg/kg using
solidification/stabilization processes, followed by
disposal of the solidified mass in an onsite
containment cell, with an impermeable cap; onsite
decontamination of 35,000 square feet of high contact
surfaces in the rail yard buildings and structures with
PCB concentrations in excess of 10 ug/100 cm2;
mitigating impacts to wetland areas from the sediment
excavation; pumping and onsite treatment of fuel-oil
contaminated ground water; recovering the oil using
a fuel oil recovery system and disposing of the
recovered oil offsite at a RCRA facility, treating the
ground water using filtration and activated carbon
with onsite discharge through a subsurface infiltration
gallery, with offsite disposal of the spent carbon;
implementing erosion controls to manage sediment
and storm water run-off; backfilling and regrading,
and revegetating excavated areas; monitoring soil,
sediment, ground water and air; and implementing
institutional controls including deed, land, and ground
water use restrictions. The estimated present worth
cost for this remedial action is $28,268,000, which
includes an O&M cost of $494,000 for years 0-2 and
$258,250 for the remaining 7.5 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Soil clean-up standards at the rail yard are based on
health-based levels, including PCB 25 mg/kg for soil
onsite and 2 mg/kg for residential areas. Chemical-
specific ground water clean-up goals are based on the
more stringent of state standards or SDWA MCLs,
and include benzene 5 ug/1. An ARAR waiver will
also be issued for certain management controls at the
TSCA waste landfill under CERCLA 121(d)(4).
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS:
Deed restrictions will be implemented onsite to
protect the integrity of the remedy, and to prevent
further development of the land or use of ground
water for domestic purposes.

RAYMARK, PA
December 30, 1991
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION;
The 7-acre Raymark site is an active metal
manufacturing and electroplating plant in the Borough
of Hatboro, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. The
site, located in an industrial area, is approximately
100 feet from the nearest residence. The nearest
surface water is Pennypack Creek, which flows
4,000 feet southwest of the site. As part of the rivet
manufacturing process at the plant, VOCs, including
30 to 40 gallons of TCE, were used daily at the site
to clean and degrease metal parts. Facility documents
indicate that piping may have directed waste from the
degreasing unit to four small lagoons, which
contained effluent from an onsite wastewater
treatment building. The lagoons were subsequently
cleaned and backfilled in the 1970;s. In 1979, when
EPA discovered TCE in the Hatboro public water
supply wells, the Hatboro Borough Water Authority
removed the wells from operation, and supplemented
the water supply using an interconnection with a
neighboring water company. Further EPA site
investigations from 1980 to 1987 identified TCE in
soil and other wells onsite and adjacent to the
property and concluded that site contaminants were a
contributing source of contamination in the
downgradient public water supply wells. In 1987, the
site owners agreed to install ground water treatment
units with air stripping towers, and, as necessary, air
emission control units, at two Hatboro public supply
wells to return these to routine operation. EPA site
investigations also revealed high concentrations of
TCE and lower levels of PAHs and PCBs in soil. In
1990, a pilot scale treatability study was conducted to
evaluate the effectiveness of Soil Vapor Extraction
(SVE) as a remedial technology for the site soil and
underlying bed rock. A 1990 ROD addressed
contamination of the drinking water and risks posed
by ground water as OU2 and OU3, respectively. This
ROD addresses the soil/source of contamination as the
final action at the site, as OU1. The primary
contaminants of concern affecting the soil/source are
VOCs, including 1,2-DCE, PCE, and TCE.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
constructing, operating, and maintaining a soil vapor
extraction system to remove VOCs from soil and
unsaturated bedrock; treating air emissions from the
extraction process using vapor phase carbon
adsorption; constructing and maintaining a low
permeability cap over the treated soil to minimize
infiltration; conducting additional sampling of surface
soil; and implementing institutional controls including
deed restrictions, and site access restrictions. The
estimated present worth cost for this remedial action
is $3,654,400, which includes an annual O&M cost of
$1,220,600 for 20 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Chemical and location-specific performance goals are
based on federal and state standards. VOCs will be
removed from the soil/source such that TCE in
subsurface soil does not exceed 50 ug/1. VOCs will
be removed from subsurface soil so that leaching of
TCE from subsurface soil will not exceed SDWA
ground water MCLs. Organic emissions will be
minimized from the vapor extraction system such that
the maximum rate of organic emission does not
exceed 3 pounds per hour or 15 pounds per day.
Infiltration of contaminants through the low
permeability cap shall not exceed 9 cubic feet per
day. Water potentially generated during the SVE
process will be treated to meet CWA levels, as stated
in the ROD for OUs 2 and 3. The excess cancer risk
resulting from site-related contamination will be
reduced to a 10"6 level and the HI will equal 1.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS:
Institutional controls will be implemented, including
deed restrictions to restrict access to the contaminated
soil, to prevent disturbance to the cap and ensure the
integrity of the selected remedy.

RHINEHART TIRE FIRE DUMP, VA
September 29,1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION;
The Rhinehart Tire Fire Dump site is located in a 22-
acre drainage area of a sparsely populated rural area
in western Frederick County, Virginia. Surface water
runoff flows into a north-south tributary that
discharges to Hogue Creek, which is 4,000 feet
downstream. Bedrock is noted to be highly fractured,
and the ground water flow in the overburden aquifer
is toward Massey Run. From 1972 to 1983, the site
owner conducted a tire disposal operation, which
consisted of transporting discarded tires from various
locations and storing them on a 5-acre wooded slope
behind his home. An estimated 5 to 7 million tires
that had been accumulated caught on fire in October
1983 and burned until July 1984. As a result of the
fire, a free-flowing oily-tar, which contained
anthracene, benzene, cadmium, chromium,
ethylbenzene, napthalene, nickel, pyrene, toluene, and
zinc, began to seep out of the tire pile into Massey
Run and on to Hogue Creek. In late 1983, EPA's
emergency response team constructed a secondary
lined containment basin, known as "Dutchman's
Pond," downslope of the fire area to contain water
generated by the early fire-fighting efforts and oil
products from the burning tires. The oily-tar waste
stream exhibited properties similar to heating oil;
therefore, approximately 800,000 gallons could be
collected, removed offsite, and recycled into fuel oils.
EPA directed the site owner to construct ditches and
dikes for drainage control. In 1984, ground water
studies by EPA concluded that ground water
contamination was limited to the Massey Run
drainage basin. A 1988 ROD addressed the migration
of contaminants offsite via surface water runoff, as
OU1, and included construction of an onsite
wastewater treatment plant. This ROD provides for
an early remedial action for the soil, sediment, debris,
and surface water associated with the onsite
containment basin known as "Dutchman's Ponds" as
OU2. A future ROD will address OU3, which
includes the remainder of site contamination, and
sludge generated from the treatment processes. The
primary contaminants of concern affecting the soil,
sediment, debris, and surface water are metals,
including arsenic, lead, and zinc.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
excavating approximately 1,125 cubic yards of
contaminated soil with zinc concentrations greater
than 50 mg/kg from the pond area; sampling,
excavating, and dewatering pond sediment using
solidification with a solid reagent; testing the soil and
sediment for hazardous characteristics and
transporting these offsite for appropriate disposal;
removing the synthetic liner within the pond, with
offsite disposal; treating approximately
200,000 gallons of contaminated surface water from
the pond using the existing oil/water separator;
directing the water to Rhinehart's Pond for treatment
in the existing wastewater treatment plant using
chemical precipitation and filtration to remove solids,
with discharge of the treated water onsite to Massey
Run; backfilling Dutchman's Pond, and any
surrounding soil that may be excavated with clean
soil; and implementing soil erosion controls. The
estimated present worth cost for this remedial action
is $1,300,000, which includes an estimated annual
O&M cost of $12,000 for 2 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Chemical-specific soil excavation goals are based on
background and aquatic toxicity levels and include
zinc 50 mg/kg. Chemical-specific surface water
discharge limits are based on state standards and
include aluminum 87 ug/1; arsenic 360 ug/1; copper
9.2 ug/1; iron 1,000 ug/1; lead 34 ug/1; nickel
1,100 ug/1; silver 0.12 ug/1; and zinc 180 ug/1.

ROUTE 940 DRUM DUMP, PA
September 28, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION;
The 2.5-acre Route 940 Drum Dump site is a grass-
covered clearing in the Tobyhanna Township, Monroe
County, Pennsylvania. This site and adjacent land
area is presently zoned as a commercial/light-
industrial area. The site is currently inactive with
some stockpiles of soil and several open excavations
on the surface. The site is bordered on all four sides
by a pine-oak woodland with few nearby residences;
however, based on aerial surveys, approximately
4,000 people who live within a 3-mile radius of the
site use the aquifer beneath the site as their source of
potable water. Between 1974 and 1978,
approximately 600 drums of unknown contents from
an unknown source were stored in the southeast
corner of the site. In 1978, approximately 2 years
after the sale of the site by the J.E.M. Partnership to
LandMark, one of the partners of the J.E.M.
Partnership arranged for the removal of the drums
from the site at the request of LandMark. From 1983
to 1987, several investigations, monitoring events, and
interim measures were completed at the site. It was
concluded that some drums may have been buried
onsite and that the contents of some of the drums
stored there previously may have been dumped onto
the ground. Current onsite investigations revealed
that any previously identified site contaminants now
have been reduced to levels that no longer pose a
significant direct health threat or any threat from
potential migration in ground water; and thus, the site
does not warrant any further remediation. Therefore,
there are no contaminants of concern affecting this
site.

STRASBURG LANDFILL, PA
March 31, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 22-acre Strasburg Landfill site is an inactive
landfill located within a 220-acre tract of land in
Newlin and West Bradford Townships, Chester
County, Pennsylvania. The site is characterized by
hills draining toward Brandywine Creek and its
floodplain, which form the southern and western site
boundaries. The nearest wetland is the Briar Run
watershed, located 600 feet east/southeast of the site.
Land use in the area is primarily suburban residential,
with some residual agricultural areas. The 201 single-
fainily residences that surround the site use ground
water as a drinking water source. Prior to 1973, the
site was used as farmland. Landfilling permits were
granted, and from 1979 to 1983, the landfill accepted
more than 3 million cubic yards of industrial and
heavy metals waste and sewage treatment plant
sludge, including over 1,000 cubic yards of polyvinyl
chloride (PVC). In 1979, state investigations
determined that landfill operations had resulted in
excessive siltation of Briar Run, and in 1980, the state
permanently prohibited the landfill from receiving
additional industrial waste. In 1983, after the owners
were cited for failure to correct onsite violations, the
state ordered the landfill closed. As a result of
improper landfill closure efforts, over 15 leachate
seeps have increased cap erosion and flowed into
adjacent ground water and surface water, including
Briar Creek. In 1983, state studies detected VOCs
and organics in both onsite monitoring wells and
offsite residential wells. The state initiated an interim
action to control the leachate flow in which surface
water runoff and leachate were directed into unlined
sediment ponds. A 1989 ROD, OU1, addressed
contaminated residential wells and exposure pathways,
and provided an interim remedy to limit site access.
A 1991 ROD addressed site access and security, and
provided for the construction of a security fence and
additional warning signs, as OU2. This ROD
addresses OU3, the landfill surface, including the
integrity of the cap, nearby surface streams, air in and
around the landfill, the surficial aquifer, and
protection of ground water from further
contamination. Ground water remediation will be
addressed in a subsequent ROD. The primary
contaminants of concern affecting the soil, debris, and
air are VOCs, including benzene, TCE, toluene, and
xylenes.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
excavating and removing the existing landfill cover,
regrading the slopes of the landfill to conform with
the PA and RCRA performance requirements, and
replacing the existing landfill cap with a multi-layer
cap; installing a gas venting system to operate as
either an active or passive system, depending upon
the measured gas emissions; installing a leachate
collection trench around the eastern, southern, and
western perimeters of the landfill to collect leachate
migrating into the surfical aquifer; treating the
leachate using a UV/ozone treatment system, based on
the results of a pilot test, followed by onsite discharge
to an onsite surface stream; monitoring ground water
and air; and implementing site access restrictions.
The estimated present worth cost for this remedial
action ranges from $10,397,070 to $11,306,460,
which includes an annual O&M cost of $312,471 for
30 years.

SUFFOLK CITY LANDFILL, VA
September 30, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 61'-acre Suffolk City Landfill site is an unlined
sanitary landfill located in Suffolk, Virginia. Land use
in the area is predominantly agricultural and
residential and the 40 to 45 residences located within
1 mile of the site use the ground water as their
primary source of drinking water. From 1967 to
1985, the City of Suffolk operated the landfill, which
received municipal solid waste from both the city and
Nansemond County. Wastes were disposed of onsite
by the trench and fill method, compacted by lifts
above grade, and then covered with approximately
2 feet of clean soil from an onsite borrow area. In
1983, when the permit for the operation of the landfill
was reissued, it required the city to close the landfill
once the regional landfill became operational and to
implement a closure plan, which had been submitted
to the state. While preparing to implement the
closure plan, the city discovered documentation that
indicated that, in 1970, 20 tons of pesticide-
contaminated debris had been disposed of in the
landfill. A 1970 state memorandum documented that
the pesticides were treated with lime and covered with
2 feet of soil to promote hydrolytic processes that
break down the pesticides. In early 1989, the city
placed an impermeable tarpaulin plastic liner over the
pesticide disposal area to prevent surface water
infiltration through the soil cover. In mid-1989, the
state required the city to implement a temporary
leachate collection system, and the collected leachate
was sampled periodically and transported to an offsite
sewage treatment plant. This ROD addresses the
onsite landfill area. Based on findings during the RI,
EPA and the state have determined that the site does
not pose an unacceptable risk to either human health
or the environment, and thus no remedial action is
required. Therefore, there are no contaminants of
concern affecting this site.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site is no further
action with ground water monitoring, since sampling
results indicate that the site poses no risk to human
health or the environment. There are no costs
associated with this no action remedy.

TONOLLI, PA
September 30, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 30-acre Tonolli site is located in Nesquehoning
Borough, Carbon County, Pennsylvania. Land use in
the area is predominantly industrial and residential,
with 20 residences located within one-quarter mile of
the site. Two aquifers, an overburden aquifer and a
bedrock aquifer, are found below the site, the latter
being a current source of drinking water. Site-related
impacts appear to be confined to the overburden
aquifer only. From 1974 to 1986, the Tonolli
Corporation operated a battery recycling and
secondary lead smelting plant onsite. Operations
included storage, breaking, processing, and smelting
of used batteries, battery components, and other lead-
bearing materials. The site consists of a battery
receiving and storage area, crushing operation,
smelter, refinery, wastewater treatment plant, above-
ground 500,000-gallon wastewater storage tank, a
rubber-lined waste lagoon, and a 10-acre rubber-lined
solid waste landfill. Four primary waste streams were
generated from site operations and included slag from
the secondary lead smelting process, which was
disposed of in the landfill; calcium sulfate sludge
from air pollution control scrubbers, which was
pumped to the landfill; plastic battery casings and
bakelite chips, which were disposed of in the landfill;
and excess process water, battery acid, and
stormwater runoff, which went to the wastewater
lagoon to be neutralized and recirculated back into the
lime slurry air scrubbers. From 1974 to 1989, the
state, EPA, and Tonolli Corporation conducted
various sampling investigations that showed elevated
levels of lead and other heavy metals in the soil, air,
surface water, and ground water. In 1985, Tonolli
filed for bankruptcy and abandoned the site. In 1989,
EPA's Emergency Response Program completed
stabilization activities, which included pumping and
onsite treatment of lagoon wastewater, pumping and
offsite disposal of wastewater in the above-ground
storage tank, excavating and stabilizing lagoon sludge,
removing the lagoon liner, excavating the soil beneath
the lagoon, backfilling and grading an illegal
diversion ditch and the lagoon, repairing the perimeter
fencing, and installing a mobile onsite treatment
system for contaminated surface water. In 1991, EPA
issued a UAO to 46 PRPs to operate and maintain the
automated onsite water treatment plant to address the
contaminated surface water that continues to flow
across the site during precipitation events. This ROD
addresses a final remedy for all the contaminated
media present onsite, including battery piles, onsite
structures, soil, sediment, ground water, and surface
water. The primary contaminants of concern affecting
the soil, sediment, debris, ground water, and surface
water are metals, including arsenic, cadmium, and
lead.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
transporting and treating offsite approximately
13,000 cubic yards of battery wastes, including
battery casings, iron oxide, sump sediment, and dust
by resource recovery at a secondary lead smelter;
conducting additional sampling and characterization of
other waste pile materials effectively via excavating
and characterization of all sediment and battery
fragments in stormwater collection piping and onsite
dumps, or consolidation within the onsite landfill;
excavating and consolidating approximately
39,000 cubic yards of soil with lead levels above
1,000 mg/kg within the onsite landfill; stabilizing
onsite approximately 7,300 cubic yards of soil with
lead levels over 10,000 mg/kg, with consolidation of
the treated soil into the onsite landfill; excavating soil
situated in the residential area to the immediate west
of the property boundary containing greater than lead
500 mg/kg; collecting confirmatory samples,
consolidating soil into the onsite landfill, and
backfilling both onsite and offsite excavated areas
with clean soil; sampling to define the area and
volume of soil potentially impacted by the site
activities and requiring remediation; consolidating
and, if necessary, treating approximately 2,020 cubic
yards of treated sludge, 250 drums of melted plastic,
and 210 cubic yards of excavated lagoon soil in the
onsite landfill prior to closure; conducting additional
sampling and completion of bioassays for
contaminated sediment in Bear and Nesquehoning
Creeks during the RD to develop appropriate clean-up
levels, and excavating all sediment above the set
levels from the creek(s) with consolidation within the
onsite landfill; closing the onsite landfill in
accordance with the federally authorized state
requirements for hazardous waste, including removal
of standing water from the landfill; upgrading the
leachate collection system, consolidating materials
generated during the remedial action within the
landfill to meet the minimum grading requirements;

completion of the selected remedy (especially
contaminated soil) will be addressed during
remediation; treating the contaminated overburdened
ground water by constructing a vertical chemical
barrier, with possible injection of pH-adjusted water
to enhance ground water flow rates; using gradient
controls to prevent infiltration of contaminants into
the bedrock aquifer; monitoring the effectiveness of
the vertical chemical barrier and/or injection of the
pH adjusted fluids; and implementing institutional
controls, including deed restrictions to prevent
excavation of the landfill and limit site use, and site
access restrictions. The estimated present worth cost
for this remedial action is $16,616,000, which
includes an estimated annual O&M cost ranging from
$35,300 to $35,600 for 30 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Chemical-specific soil excavation levels are based on
health-risk calculations and include onsite lead 1,000
mg/kg and offsite lead 500 mg/kg. Soil will be
stabilized onsite to meet RCRA TCLP levels, such as
lead 5 mg/1, prior to disposal. Chemical-specific
sediment clean-up levels will be determined during
the remedial design stage. Chemical-specific surface
water and ground water clean-up levels will also be
determined during the remedial design stage and will
be based on allowable NPDES discharge parameters
and state-specified background levels, respectively.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS:
Institutional controls in the form of deed restrictions
will be implemented to limit the use of the land to
industrial applications and prevent excavation or
construction on the closed landfill.

U.S. DEFENSE GENERAL SUPPLY CENTER (OPERABLE UNIT 1), VA
May 15, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 640-acre U.S. Defense General Supply Center
(DGSC) is a military support, service, and storage
facility located approximately 11 miles south of the
City of Richmond, Virginia. Land use in the area is
predominantly residential and wooded, with the James
River located approximately 1 mile east of the site.
Although the site overlies a shallow aquifer,
residences in the area are serviced by a municipal
drinking water facility. From the 1940's to 1970's,
DGSC provided multiple support functions for the
U.S. Army. Operational areas consisted of indoor and
outdoor material storage areas, a motor pool facility,
a National Guard training area, fire training areas, and
various acid neutralization pits. Materials that were
stored in Open Storage Areas (OSA) consisted mainly
of petroleum, oils, and lubricants although, in the
past, there were reported pesticide and herbicide
spills. Soil contamination at the OSA source area
resulted from improper chemical handling and storage
activities conducted during this time. In 1986, as part
of a RCRA Corrective Action permit for the facility,
remedial investigations revealed contamination by
VOCs, other organics, metals, and inorganics in both
the soil and ground water throughout the facility. As
a result, remediation of DGSC has been divided into
eight operable units (OUs). This ROD addresses the
interim remediation of OU1, the contaminated soil at
OSA. Future RODs will address onsite contaminated
media at the remaining seven areas as OU2 through
OUS. The primary contaminants of concern affecting
the soil are VOCs, including benzene, PCE, TCE,
toluene, and xylenes; other organics, including PAHs,
pesticides, and phenols; metals, including arsenic,
chromium, and lead; acids; and oils.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
implementing institutional controls and site access
restrictions, including fencing of the storage area.
The present worth cost for this remedial action is
$15,000. No O&M costs are applicable to this
remedial action.

U.S. DEFENSE GENERAL SUPPLY CENTER (OPERABLE UNIT 5), VA
March 25, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 640-acre U.S. Defense General Supply Center
(DGSC) is a military support, service, and storage
facility located approximately 11 miles south of the
City of Richmond, Virginia. Land use in the area is
predominantly light industrial and residential with
surrounding woodlands. Although the site lies above
a shallow aquifer, most residences in the area are
served by a municipal drinking water system. From
the 1940's to the 1970's, DGSC provided multiple
support functions for the U. S. Armed Forces and
several federal civilian agencies. Operation areas
consist of indoor and outdoor material storage areas,
a motor pool facility, a National Guard training area,
a firefighting training area, and two acid
neutralization pits. Studies conducted by the Army in
1984 led to initiating site clean-up activities. Results
of remedial investigations revealed VOCs, other
organics, and metal contamination in soil and ground
water samples at sites throughout the facility. As a
result, remediation of DGSC has been divided into
eight operable units to address site contamination
issues. These include an open storage source area,
National Guard source area, a fire training source
area, Area #50 source area, an acid neutralization pit
source area, a firefighting training ground water area,
an acid neutralization pit ground water area, and Area
#50/open storage area/National Guard ground water
area. The acid neutralization pit (ANP) area, located
in the northern section of DGSC, was in operation
from 1958 to the early 1980's. During the time of
operation, caustic and acid wastes were collected from
onsite metal-cleaning operations in large outdoor
14,000- and 3,000-gallon capacity concrete-lined
basins. Periodically, spent cleaning solutions were
discharged to the settling pits where they were
neutralized and suspended solids were allowed to
settle out. The neutralized wastewater was then
discharged offsite in either a sanitary or storm sewer.
Sludges were also disposed of off-site in a nearby
landfill. In 1985, the pits were closed and remedial
actions began. After cleaning the pits and prior to
filling them with clean fill, cracks in the sides and
bottom of the pits were observed, indicating possible
routes of contamination of the surrounding soil and
ground water. Ground water monitoring around the
ANP revealed ground water contamination in the
uppermost aquifer. Another 1992 ROD has addressed
the mitigation of the open storage area where
institutional controls were applied to reduce exposure
to the public. This ROD addresses the interim
remediation of contaminated soil surrounding the
ANP as OU5. A future ROD will address the
remediation of ground water associated with the acid
neutralization pits. Other RODs will address
remediation activities for the remaining contamination
areas at the site. The primary contaminants affecting
the soil are VOCs, including benzene and PCE; and
arsenic, a metal.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
treating contaminated soil onsite using a vacuum
extraction system, and controlling air emissions using
carbon adsorption; constructing concrete covers over
the pits to prevent their further use and infiltration of
rainwater; disposing of or recycling the spent carbon
offsite at a RCRA facility; and sampling soil at the
end of the clean-up period to evaluate the
effectiveness of the remedy. The estimated present
worth cost for this remedial action is $115,607, which
includes an annual O&M cost of $ 16,000 for 4 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Chemical-specific soil action levels are based on
health-based criteria and include MCLs established for
arsenic 5.7 mg/kg; benzene 0.001 mg/kg; PCE
1.5 mg/kg; DCE 0.015 mg/kg; TCE 0.036 mg/kg;
toluene 2,400 mg/kg; and xylenes 24,000 mg/kg. Soil
action levels will protect ground water at the site from
further contamination.

USA ABERDEEN, MICHAELSVILLE, MD
June 30, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION;
The 20-acre USA Aberdeen, Michaelsville Landfill is
a municipal landfill located along the Chesapeake Bay
in Harford County, Maryland. The site is in the
northern portion of the Aberdeen Proving Ground
(APG) in the Aberdeen Area (AA) between
Michaelsville Road and Trench Warfare Road. Land
use in the area is predominantly industrial and
residential, with a wetland area located south and east
of the site. In 1970, operations at the landfill began
and continued until its closure in 1980. Previous
studies of the landfill operations indicated that trench
and fill methods were used to dispose of wastes in the
landfill. The majority of materials reportedly
disposed of at the site included domestic trash, trash
from nonindustrial sources at APG, solvents, waste
motor oils, PCB transformer oils, wastewater
treatment sludges, pesticides containing thallium,
insecticides containing selenium, and rodenticides
containing antimony. From 1981 to 1991, the county,
state agencies, U.S. Army Environmental Hygiene
Agency (AEHA), and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
Waterways Experiment Station (WES) periodically
inspected the site. In 1981, the county recommended
that the landfill be capped. In 1983, the state
inspected the installed cover and advised the APG
personnel to repair two "leachate outbreaks." In
1985, the AEHA discovered that the landfill cover
was not functioning properly and suggested that an
impervious cap be placed on the landfill. From 1987
to 1990, WES conducted an analysis of ground water
from the monitoring wells surrounding the site and
concluded that the landfill contributed chemicals to
the uppermost aquifer. In early 1991, the state
observed several additional "leachate outbreaks"
onsite. In mid-1991, a removal action was conducted
onsite by APG, which included installing a leachate
collection system to control and collect leachate. This
ROD addresses protection of the ground water by
minimizing leachate flow and preventing current or
future exposure to waste materials as the first of two
OUs planned for the site. A future ROD will address
sediment, surface water, and ground water at and near
the site to determine the need, if any, of further
remediation at the site. The primary contaminants of
concern affecting the soil are VOCs; other organics,
including pesticides; and metals, including chromium
and lead.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
replacing the existing cover with a multi-layer cap in
accordance with state requirements for sanitary
landfills; covering the cap with an earthen cover and
revegetating the area; installing a methane gas
venting system within the cap system to minimize the
migration or accumulation of gases generated by the
landfill wastes; and installing surface water controls
to accommodate seasonal precipitation. The present
worth cost for this remedial action is $9,207,200,
which includes an annual O&M cost of $27,000 for
30 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
The soil clean-up goals for capping the site are
established in accordance with state requirements for
sanitary landfill and RCRA subtitle C requirements.

WESTINGHOUSE ELEVATOR PLANT, PA
June 30, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The approximately 90-acre Westinghouse Elevator
Plant is a manufacturing plant for elevator and
escalator components in Cumberland Township,
Adams County, Pennsylvania. The surrounding land
is mixed residential and small commercial properties
with the Gettysburg Battlefield National Park to the
south. The site is located within the watershed of
Rock Creek, a small stream that receives discharge
from the northern tributary that traverses the site.
Ground water is the only source of potable water and
area residents near the site rely on municipal or
private wells for drinking supply. Prior to its current
use, most of the property consisted of farm land.
From 1968 to the present, the facility has used
degreasing solvents, paints, and cutting and
lubricating oils in the manufacturing process for
elevator and escalator components. Waste solvents,
paint sludge, oils, and greases were stored in various
areas at the site for offsite disposal. In 1983, after
complaints from local residents, the state initiated an
investigation that revealed soil, sediment, and
widespread ground water contamination with VOCs.
In November 1983, Westinghouse removed a total of
43 drums of contaminated soil from two areas of the
site. In 1984, Westinghouse installed an air stripping
tower to treat contaminated ground water and
constructed water mains to provide affected residents
with access to the public water supply. Since 1984,
Westinghouse has installed several public water main
extensions for affected residences and also installed
monitoring wells in the area. In 1987, EPA ordered
Westinghouse to perform an RI/FS at the site.
Schindler Elevator Corporation has leased and
operated the plant building since 1989. In 1991, there
was a TCA spill at the site, which was then, and is
currently owned by Westinghouse Elevator. This
ROD addresses remediation of dense non-aqueous
phase liquids (DNAPLs) in the fractured bedrock and
the highly contaminated ground water resulting from
contact with DNAPLs. Additional soil investigations
are necessary because of the recent TCA spill; and
this will be addressed in a subsequent ROD. The
primary contaminants of concern affecting the ground
water are VOCs, including TCA, TCE, and 1,1-DCE.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
pumping and treatment of ground water using air
stripping from both the onsite area, in the center of
the contamination plume in contact with the DNAPLs;
and the offsite area, downgradient from the center of
the plume, to control migration of dissolved
contaminants; discharging the treated water offsite to
surface surface water; treating air emissions using
carbon adsorption, and recycling and/or disposal of
the spent carbon offsite at a RCRA facility;
monitoring ground water and residential wells; and
implementing institutional controls including deed
restrictions to restrict the use of onsite ground water.
The estimated present worth cost for this remedial
action is $4,400,000, which includes an annual O&M
cost of $142,000 for 30 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Chemical-specific clean-up goals for ground water are
based on SDWA MCLs and non-zero MCLGs for
VOCs, including TCE 5 ug/1; TCA 200 mg/1; and
1,1-DCE 7 ug/1; and State Water Quality Criteria for
discharge to surface water. The state standard for
ground water cleanup to background levels is waived
due to technical impracticability. Emission reduction
from the air stripper/adsorber will be reduced to the
minimum obtainable levels through the use of best
available technologies.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS:
Deed restrictions will be placed on the Westinghouse
Plant property to prevent any use of the ground water
until EPA and the state have determined that cleanup
goals have been met from monitoring results.

AGRICO CHEMICAL, FL
September 29, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 35-acre Agrico Chemical site is a former
fertilizer manufacturing facility located in Pensacola,
Escambia County, Florida. Land use in the area is
mixed residential, municipal, commercial, and
industrial. From 1889 to 1920, sulfuric acid was
produced onsite from pyrite. In 1920, the production
of superphosphate fertilizer began. The source rock
used in the process was fluorapatite, which also
contained silica and trace levels of aluminum and
uranium. Four unlined ponds used at the site for
wastewater discharge are referred to as PFPI through
PFP IV. By early 1957, city officials shut down a
public supply well because analyses indicated
declining pH values and elevated levels of fluoride
and sulfate in the ground water. In 1983, EPA
conducted an investigation that indicated that the
onsite soil and surface water were contaminated with
elevated levels of fluoride and lead. In January 1987,
the state conducted a ground water assessment at the
site that revealed that site contaminants, primarily
fluoride and sulfate, had polluted the ground water.
This ROD addresses a final remedy for contaminated
soil and sludge at the site as OU1 to prevent current
or future exposure. Future RODs will address the
treatment of contaminated ground water as OU2 and
will include the results of a bayou impacts study
being conducted by the PRPs on the Bayou Texar.
The primary contaminants of concern affecting the
soil and sludge are VOCs; other organics, including
PAHs and pesticide residues; metals, including arsenic
and lead; and radioactive materials.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
excavating an estimated 32,500 cubic yards of
contaminated soil with concentrations above
1,463 mg/kg fluoride from PFP I, HI, and IV, and
dewatering the excavated areas; excavating,
solidifying, and stabilizing all soil with lead
concentrations above 500 mg/kg and arsenic levels
above 16 mg/kg from PFP IV; excavating and
stabilizing contaminated sludge from all ponds;
consolidating the excavated soil and sludge from all
areas into PFP II; constructing a slurry wall around
PFP II, and covering the area with a RCRA cap;
monitoring ground water; and implementing
institutional controls including deed restrictions, and
site access restrictions such as security fencing. The
estimated present worth cost for this remedial action
is $10,731,013, which includes a present worth O&M
cost of $384,313.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Chemical-specific soil excavation goals are based on
protection of ground water and include fluoride
1,463 mg/kg. The excavation goals established for
lead and arsenic are based on health-based soil
exposure scenarios, including lead 500 mg/kg and
arsenic 16 mg/kg.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS:
Deed restrictions and fencing will be implemented to
prevent public access.

ALABAMA ARMY AMMUNITION PLANT, AL
December 31, 1991
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 2,200-acre Alabama Army Ammunition Plant
(AAAP) site is located in Talledega County, Alabama,
near the junction of Talledega Creek and the Coosa
River. Land use surrounding AAAP is mixed
recreational and industrial. The majority of the
surface runoff from AAAP drains west or southwest
into the Coosa River. Prior to construction of AAAP,
the area consisted of farms, woodlands, and wetlands.
AAAP was built in 1941 as a government-
owned/contractor-operated facility that produced
nitrocellulose, nitroaromatic explosives, and 2,4,6-
trinitrophenylmethylnitramine. Support of chemical
manufacturing included the use of sulfuric acid;
aniline; N,N-dimethylaniline; and diphenylamine.
Operations at AAAP were terminated in August 1945,
and in 1973 several parcels of the original 13,233-
acre property were sold. In 1978, the U.S. Army
Toxic and Hazardous Materials Agency
(USATHAMA), managing the Army's Installation
Restoration Program (IRP), identified soil, sediment,
and ground water potentially contaminated by
explosives, asbestos, and lead as a result of past site
operations. During the RI/FS, the facility was divided
into two general areas: the eastern area (Area A) and
the western area (Area B). In 1985, investigations
identified soil contamination by explosives, asbestos,
and lead in Area A, and ground water contamination
by these materials in Area B. In 1986, the Army
conducted clean-up activities at Area A, which
included building decontamination and demolition,
soil excavation, and stockpiling. Soil excavated from
Area A was stockpiled in Area B in two covered
buildings and on a concrete slab, which was
subsequently covered with a membrane liner. A 1991
characterization study of Area B concluded that
explosives, lead, and asbestos contamination were
present above regulatory limits. This ROD addresses
a final action for the contaminated soil in the
Stockpile Soils Area (Area B). A final remedy for
the remainder of the AAAP facility will be proposed
by the U.S. Army following completion of the RI/FSs
currently in progress. The primary contaminants of
concern affecting the soil and debris are explosives,
including 2,4,6-TNT, 2,4-DNT, 2,6-DNT, and tetryl;
metals, including lead; and asbestos, an inorganic.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION;
The selected remedial action for the stockpiled soil in
Area B includes separating between 24,300 and
25,650 cubic yards of contaminated soil and between
1,350 and 2,700 cubic yards of asbestos-containing
material; incinerating onsite contaminated soil; testing
the treated soil for explosives and lead to verify
compliance with the treatment criteria and stabilizing
the soil or ash, if necessary, to meet LDR's, followed
by disposing of the treated soil and stabilized material
onsite at designated backfill area; and containerizing
asbestos-containing material, followed by either onsite
or offsite disposal at a regulated facility depending on
the quantity of material to be disposed of and the
availability of disposal facilities. The total present
worth cost for this remedial action ranges from
$10,991,900 to $17,055,600 (including asbestos
disposal), which includes a total O&M cost ranging
from $8,782,800 to $14,846,500 for 9 to 12 months,
depending on the type of incinerator used.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Chemical-specific soil and debris clean-up goals are
based on federal standards, including explosives
1 ug/g of 2,4,6-TNT (RCRA) and lead 5 mg/1 in the
TCLP extract (RCRA).

BENFIELD INDUSTRIES, NC
July 31, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 3.5-acre Benfield Industries site is a former bulk
chemical mixing and repackaging plant in Hazelwood,
Haywood County, North Carolina. Land use in the
area is mixed, with surrounding light industrial,
commercial, and residential areas. The estimated
3,258 area residents use ground water as their sole
source of drinking water, and approximately
2,056 people in Hazelwood are connected to the local
public water supply system. From 1904 until
Benfield Industries purchased the property in 1976,
site ownership changed several times and was used
for furniture manufacture and sewing operations.
Products handled and stored at the facility by Benfield
Industries included paint thinners; solvents; sealants;
cleaners; de-icing solutions; and wood preservers,
including creosote. During site operations, complaints
from citizens concerning the improper disposal of
hazardous waste prompted initial site investigations by
the state. On April 21, 1982, a series of explosions
at the Benfield site started a fire that destroyed most
of the onsite facilities and resulted in permanent
closure of the Benfield Industries plant. None of the
onsite tanks or gas cylinders ruptured during the fire;
however, dense toxic fumes emanating from the site
resulted in the temporary evacuation of nearly
2,000 area residents. Investigations conducted by
EPA, state, local agencies, and academic institutions
revealed a wide range of organic and inorganic
contaminants, including elevated levels of lead and
chromium. Following the fire, the state ordered the
site owner to remove all fire debris, chemicals, and
creosote storage tanks from the site. This ROD
addresses the remediation of contaminated soil and
ground water. The primary contaminants of concern
affecting the soil and ground water are VOCs,
including benzene; other organics, including PAHs;
and metals, including arsenic and lead.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for the site includes
excavating, separating, sizing, and treating the
contaminated soil using onsite soil washing;
transferring the smaller soil particles to an ex-situ
slurry biological treatment system; replacing coarse
soil fraction and the treated soil fines in the onsite
excavations, and grading and revegetating the area;
treating and/or disposing of any remaining hazardous
waste residual offsite; extracting and pretreating
ground water onsite using aeration to remove iron and
manganese, followed by treatment using ion exchange
to remove heavy metals; ex-situ biotreatment using a
submerged fixed-film bioreactor; and a polishing step
using granular activated carbon; reintroducing the
nutrient-enriched water into the onsite aquifer to
facilitate in-situ biodegradation, or if necessary offsite
discharge to a POTW. The estimated present worth
cost for this remedial action is $3,079,900, which
includes a present worth O&M cost of $424,360 for
5 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Chemical-specific ground water clean-up goals are
based on SDWA MCLs and state standards, including
benzene 5 ug/1; antimony 6 ug/1; barium 1,000 ug/1;
beryllium 4 ug/1; and lead 15 ug/1. Chemical-specific
soil clean-up goals are based on SDWA MCLs and
state standards, including benzo(a)anthracene
0.8 mg/kg; chrysene 1.6 mg/kg; naphthalene
10 mg/kg; and benzo(a)pyrene 0.3 mg/kg (health-

CARRIER AIR CONDITIONING, TN
Septembers, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 135-acre Carrier Air Conditioning site is an
active manufacturing facility in the Town of
Collierville, Shelby County, Tennessee. Land use in
the area is predominantly industrial, with the nearest
residential area approximately 100 feet north of the
site boundary. Two aquifer units have been identified
at the site: a shallow class Ilia aquifer, which is not
used as a drinking water source; and the Memphis
Sand, a class Ila aquifer, which lies below the shallow
aquifer and is currently used as a drinking water
source. The Town of Collierville purchased the site
property and installed a well field for potable water
on the northwest corner of the site, known as Water
Plant 2, which currently provides up to 1.4 million
gallons per day of potable water to the Town of
Collierville. In 1967, Collierville leased the site
property, buildings, and equipment to Carrier to
manufacture residential heating and air-conditioning
units. During the manufacturing process, aluminum
sheeting is stamped and assembled with copper tubing
to form air heat exchangers. Stamping and forming
oils and dirt are removed prior to assembly. Until
recently, trichloroethylene (TCE) was used onsite as
the primary solvent for degreasing and cleaning parts.
In 1979, a TCE release from a storage area resulted
in the removal of asphalt pavement and underlying
soil from the parking area, which was affected by the
spill. It also was discovered that an onsite wastewater
lagoon had accepted waste contaminated with TCE
and zinc. In response to a second release in 1985,
both a massive soil excavation and disposal action
were conducted to remove TCE contamination.
Monitoring wells also were installed at the facility.
In 1986, one of the wells from Water Plant 2 was
found to be contaminated with low levels of TCE. In
1987, Carrier purchased the site property, except for
the municipal well area. In 1990, Carrier installed air
strippers at Water Plant 2 to remove TCE and its
degradation products. This ROD addresses a final
remedy for the contaminated soil, sludge, and ground
water at the Carrier facility and is the only ROD
planned for the site. The primary contaminants of
concern affecting the soil, sludge, and ground water
are VOCs, including TCE and PCE; and metals,
including lead and zinc.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
treating an estimated 76,500 cubic yards of
contaminated soil/sludge and shallow ground water in
the old lagoon and main plant source areas using soil
vapor extraction (SVE); extracting and containing
ground water from the Memphis Sand aquifer using
the existing and supplemental extraction wells with
treatment using the air strippers at Water Plant 2,
followed by discharge of the treated ground water to
the municipal water supply, a local POTW, surface
water, or reinjecting it to the Memphis Sand aquifer;
treating any air emissions from the SVE or the air
stripping processes using granular activated carbon,
thermal treatment, or photolytic oxidation, if
necessary; implementing institutional controls deed
restrictions to limit well construction and water use
near the site; and conducting periodic monitoring.
The estimated present worth cost for this remedial
action ranges from $5,700,000 to $7,900,000, which
includes a total O&M cost of $5,489,334 for 30 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
The chemical-specific soil clean-up level is 533 ug/kg
for TCE, based on fate and transport modeling for
TCE leachate, which would not contaminate the
ground water above the maximum concentration level
for TCE established under the SDWA. The ability to
achieve 533 ug/kg cannot be determined until after
the extraction system has been implemented. EPA
may set an alternate clean-up level when it is
determined that contaminant levels have ceased to
decline over time and are remaining constant at some
statistically significant level above remediation levels,
as verified by soil sampling. The chemical-specific
ground water clean-up levels are based on SDWA
MCLs, MCLGs, and UIC regulations; CWA
Discharge Limitations and Pretreatment standards;
and/or the Tennessee Water Quality Act. These
levels include TCE 5 ug/1; cis-DCE 70 ug/1; trans-
DCE 100 ug/1; PCE 5 ug/1; vinyl chloride 2 ug/1; zinc
5,000 ug/1; and lead 15 ug/1 or background levels.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS;
Local ordinances or deed restrictions will be placed
on well construction in the general area of the site
and restrict the use of ground water.

CHEM-FORM, FL
September 22, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 4-acre Chem-Form site is a former
electrochemical machine design, manufacturing, and
marketing facility in Pompano Beach, Broward
County, Florida. Land use in the area is
predominantly industrial, with residential areas located
within 2 miles east of the site. The Pompano-Cypress
Creek Canal lies about 3,000 feet south of the site
and flows east into Biscayne Bay. The estimated
72,400 residents of Pompano Beach use the
underlying sole source Biscayne aquifer as their
primary source of drinking water. From 1967 to
1985, Chem-Form used the site as a certified repair
station for refurbishing turbine engine components
related to the aerospace industry, and they also
provided services to utility companies that used
turbine power plants. Additionally, they were
involved in the design, manufacture, and marketing of
electrochemical machines for other industries involved
in the fabrication of metal parts. These operations
resulted in substantial waste generation. Spent cutting
oils were stored in stainless-steel vats and were
routinely collected by reprocessing contractors.
Organic solvents were used for metal cleaning and
painting operations. Process wastewaters were
discharged to an onsite septic tank/drain field system.
Other wastewaters were discharged to an open trench.
Prior to 1975, about 50 gallons of wastewater per day
were disposed of in this manner. As a result of EPA
investigations, a removal action was performed to
remove approximately 3,000 cubic yards of soil from
the field and trench areas at the site. A 1985 EPA
site screening investigation reported that a total of
66 drums containing oils and sludge were being
stored onsite and that two of the drums were leaking.
A second removal action was conducted in 1990 to
remove these drums and investigate metal
concentrations in the ground water. In 1991, EPA
also ordered the PRPs to remove contaminated soil
that may potentially affect the ground water. Future
RODs will address the contaminated onsite soil. This
ROD addresses a final remedy for the ground water
at the site, as OU1. Previous removal actions have
now reduced contamination in ground water to below
significant levels; therefore there are no contaminants
of concern affecting this site.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site is no action,
with quarterly ground water monitoring for no less
than 1 year. The estimated total cost for this remedial
action is $104,000, which includes an O&M cost of
$80,000 for a 1-year period.

CIBA-GEIGY (MclNTOSH PLANT), AL
July 14, 1992
SITE HISTORYfl)ESCRIPTION;
The 1,500-acre Ciba-Geigy (Mclntosh Plant) site is an
active chemical manufacturer in an industrial area in
Mclntosh, Washington County, Alabama. A wetlands
area borders the site property, and part of the site lies
within the floodplain of the Tombigbee River. From
1952 to 1965, Ciba-Geigy, formerly Geigy Chemical
Corporation, manufactured primarily DDT and BHC.
After 1965, when the production of DDT and BHC
was ceased, Ciba-Geigy began to manufacture laundry
products, herbicides, insecticides, agricultural
chelating agents, sequestering agents, plastic resins
and additives, antioxidants, and specialty chemicals.
In 1982, during an investigation of an adjacent
chemical company, EPA identified onsite
contamination in a drinking water well on the Ciba-
Geigy property. In 1985, EPA issued a RCRA permit
that included a corrective action plan requiring Ciba-
Geigy to remove and treat ground water and surface
water contamination at the site. Further investigations
by EPA revealed 11 former waste management areas
of potential contamination onsite. These areas contain
a variety of waste, debris, pesticide by-products and
residues. In 1987, Ciba-Geigy installed an additional
wastewater treatment system and four ground water
monitoring wells. Two previous RODs in 1989 and
1991 addressed the contaminated shallow alluvial
aquifer and contaminated sludge and soil at 10 of the
11 former waste management areas. This ROD
addresses a final remedy for OU4, which includes
contaminated soil and sludge in former waste
management Area 8 and the upper dilute ditch. A
future ROD will address OU3, the contamination
within the floodplain and lower portions of the dilute
ditch. The primary contaminants of concern affecting
the soil, sludge, and debris are VOCs, including
benzene, toluene, and xylenes; other organics,
including pesticides; metals, including arsenic,
chromium, and lead; and inorganics.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
removing and decontaminating nonchemical
construction/demolition debris from the surface of
Area 8; excavation and offsite disposal of
approximately 63,000 cubic yards of contaminated
soil and sludge from the area as possible, to a depth
of 20 feet, or until concrete structures, the water table,
or the iron slurry waste are encountered; solidifying
and stabilizing onsite approximately 46,000 cubic
yards of contaminated soil that contain less than
2,500 mg/kg total organics and no gamma-BHC;
treating approximately 17,000 cubic yards of soil,
sludge, and other waste, which is not amenable to
other treatment using an innovative thermal
technology to be decided during the RD phase;
treating approximately 46,000 cubic yards of iron
slurry waste in-situ using fixation/stabilization;
backfilling and establishing a vegetative cover over
excavated areas; disposing all treated soil, sludge,
slurry waste, and debris residuals onsite in a RCRA
landvault; monitoring air emissions and ground water;
and implementing institutional controls, including land
and ground water use restrictions. In areas where
clean-up levels are not attained, but no further
excavation can occur, the technology(s) to be used
will be based on treatability and leachability studies
to be conducted during the RD stage, but may include
using in-situ soil flushing alone or in combination
with vacuum extraction or bioremediation to
remediate areas where risk-based levels are not
reached before excavation is terminated. The
estimated present worth cost for this remedial action
is $49,723,000, which includes an unspecified O&M
cost for 30 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS;
Chemical-specific soil and sludge clean-up goals are
based on health-risk levels to assure that drinking
water MCLs would not be exceeded in the ground
water as a result of contaminants leaching through
soil or sludge. Actual clean-up levels to be used will
be determined for atrazine, diazinon, prometon,
simazine, 4,4-DDD, 4,4-DDT, 4,4-DDE, and bladex
using the summers and pestan models, and based on
the proximity of the waste to the ground water table.
It is anticipated that site contaminants that do not
have specified clean-up levels in this ROD will be
reduced to acceptable levels when established clean-
up levels are met for the most toxic and mobile
contaminants.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS;
Institutional controls, such as land and ground water
use restrictions, will be implemented if subsurface soil
is left in place above clean-up levels to ensure that
any future excavations of that soil will be handled in

FLORIDA STEEL, FL
June 30, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 150-acre Florida Steel site is located 2 miles
northwest of Indiantown, Martin County, Florida.
Surrounding land used is mixed industrial and
agricultural. The site is located within the Indian
River Lagoon Drainage Basin System, and adjacent
property is a mixture of uplands and wetlands.
Several private residences are within 1 mile
downgradient of the site. In 1969, the Indiantown site
was acquired by Florida Steel Corporation (FSC) for
the purpose of constructing a steel mill using electric
arc furnace technology for recycling scrap steel,
primarily junk automobiles, into new steel products.
The mill operated from 1970 until 1982, at which
time it was shut down because of depressed economic
conditions. Three types of by-products were
produced at the mill: mill scale, which is oxidized
iron that sloughs of hot steel as it is being cooled by
water; slag formed on top of the steel in the furnace,
which contains barium, chromium, and lead; and
emission control (EC) dust from the electric ar
furnace, which contains iron, zinc, and lead oxides.
The EC dust was collected in a baghouse system and
deposited in two onsite disposal areas until 1980,
when EC dust became listed as a RCRA hazardous
waste (K061) and had to be manifested off site for
disposal. In 1983, state investigations revealed PCB
contamination of soil in the area of a recirculating
reservoir and in the EC disposal areas. In 1985, the
state required FSC to remove approximately 8,000
tons of EC dust from the disposal areas and send it to
an offsite recycling facility for zinc recovery. A
second removal action, conducted in 1986, involved
excavating 11,200 cubic yards of contaminated soil,
sediment, and EC dust containing PCBs greater than
50 mg/kg and temporarily storing the materials in an
onsite storage vault, as well as implementing an
onsite ground water monitoring program. The stored
PCB-contaminated soil was later incinerated onsite
under a consent order with EPA in 1987, and ash
from this incineration onsite under a consent order
with EPA in 1987, and ash from this incineration was
consolidated within the ash retention building pending
final deposition. This ROD addresses the remaining
contaminated onsite soil, sediment, and debris as
OU1. The primary contaminants of concern affecting
the soil, sediment, and debris are organics, including
PCBs; and metals, including lead.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
excavating and disposing offsite 600 cubic yards of
soil and sediment contaminated with PCB levels equal
to or greater than 50 mg/kg; excavating and onsite
solidification of 37,000 cubic yards of EC dust and
metals-contaminated ash and soil, including soil with
lead concentrations above 600 mg/kg and/or PCB
concentrations between 25 and 50 mg/kg; temporarily
storing the excavated materials onsite pending final
treatment in a manner that will prevent PCB
contamination through surface water run-off, and
disposing of the solidified materials in an onsite
double-lined landfill with a RCRA cap; controlling
surface water run-off from the site by routing it to the
onsite surface water retention pond; periodic
monitoring of surface water for at least 2 years after
construction is completed; continuing ground water
quality monitoring; and implementing institutional
controls, including deed restrictions. The estimated
present worth cost for this remedial action is
$7,004,750, which includes an annual O&M cost of
$18,200 for 30 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Chemical-specific soil excavation goals are based on
health risk levels and the teachability of lead from
soil into the underlying ground water, including lead
in soil 600 mg/kg; PCBs 25 mg/kg; and slag, which
contains lead 1360 mg/kg. The slag level was
developed to be protective of human health in an
industrial setting, and additional TCLP testing will be
conducted during the RD stage to confirm its
protectiveness. Compliance with the RCRA land
disposal treatment standards for EC dust will be
attained by meeting levels specified in the treatability
variance for contaminated soil and debris.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS:
Deed restrictions, which limit the use of the site to
mostly industrial or commercial activities, have been
filed with the Martin County Clerk of the Circuit
Court and will remain in effect regardless of the
clean-up activities that occur.

GEIGY CHEMICAL (ABERDEEN PLANT), NC
August27, 1992
REGION 4
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION;
The 1-acre Geigy Chemical (Aberdeen Plant) site is
a former agricultural chemical distribution center in
Aberdeen, Moore County, North Carolina. Land use
in the area is predominantly mixed business,
residential, and agricultural. The estimated
355 families who reside within 1 mile of the site use
the second of three underlying confined aquifers as
their primary source of drinking water. From 1947 to
1967, the site changed hands numerous times but was
always used for pesticide mixing and formulation, not
for pesticide manufacturing. From 1985 to 1989, the
site was leased to Lebanon Chemical Corporation for
use as an agricultural pesticide and fertilizer retail
distribution center. The site is currently unoccupied;
however, the Aberdeen and Rockfish railroad that
traverses the southern portion of the site is still active.
In 1988, site investigations conducted by EPA
revealed lead and pesticide contamination in the soil,
and pesticide and other organic contamination in the
ground water. In 1989, an initial soil excavation and
disposal was conducted for 462 tons of visually
contaminated soil. In 1991 an additional 2,000 tons
of contaminated soil were removed. Three PRPs
performed the RI/FS. This ROD addresses the soil
and ground water contamination as a final action. No
future RODs are planned. The primary contaminants
of concern affecting the soil and ground water are
pesticides, including aldrin, dieldrin, toxaphene, ODD,
DDE, and DDT.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
excavating and disposing of an estimated 1,000 cubic
yards of contaminated soil offsite at a RCRA-
approved landfill, or an incinerator; backfilling the
excavated areas with clean soil and revegetating the
area; onsite pumping and treatment of contaminated
ground water using a system to be developed during
the RD phase, but will include a series of carbon
filters; discharging the treated water to an infiltration
gallery or offsite to a POTW; transporting the spent
carbon offsite for disposal, destruction, or
reactivation; implementing any of the following
contingency remedies, if it is determined that certain
portions of the aquifer cannot be restored to their
beneficial use: installing physical barriers or long-term
gradient controls; waiving chemical-specific ARARs;
monitoring specific wells; re-evaluating remediation
technologies for ground water restoration; and
implementing institutional controls and site access
restrictions including fencing. The estimated present
worth cost for this remedial action ranges from
$2,810,000 to $4,650,000, based upon final
technologies selected during the RD, which includes
a present worth O&M cost of $1,680,000 for
30 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Soil and ground water clean-up standards are based
on the more stringent of state or federal MCLs, and
will attain a 10"6 risk level. Chemical-specific goals
for soil include aldrin 0.113 mg/kg; dieldrin 0.13
mg/kg; toxaphene 2 mg/kg; ODD 7.6 mg/kg; DDE
5.5 mg/kg; and DDT 4.75 mg/kg; aldrin 0.05 ug/1;
dieldrin 0.01 ug/1; and toxaphene 1 ug/1.

JFD ELECTRONICS/CHANNEL MASTER, NC
September 10, 1992
REGION 4
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION;
The 13.09-acre JFD Electronics/Channel Master site
is a former television antenna production and satellite
assembly system facility in Oxford, Granville County,
North Carolina. Two onsite buildings are used by
two companies as distribution centers. Land use in
the area is predominantly residential and business.
Fishing Creek lies 1.7 miles south of the site and
receives runoff and drainage from the facility. An
estimated 164 people per square mile use municipal
water as their drinking water supply. From 1961 to
1979, JFD Electronics used the site to manufacture
television antennas. From 1964 to 1965, an unlined
lagoon, with a liquid capacity of 800,000 to 1,000,000
gallons, received wastewater from a chromate
conversion process and a copper/nickel electroplating
process. From 1980 to 1984, Channel Master owned
the site and produced satellite systems, antennas,
amplifiers, and boosters. Organic solvents were
reportedly used onsite to clean tools and antenna
elements prior to sending them offsite for
electroplating. A 1987 state inspection detected
VOCs and metals in the lagoon sludge, adjacent soil,
and ground water. In 1987, Channel Master
excavated and disposed of 17,000 cubic yards of
contaminated sludge/soil at a permitted waste disposal
facility. In addition, 2,000 cubic yards of VOC-
contaminated soil was excavated and thermally treated
onsite. In 1988, Channel Master excavated and
disposed of two fuel oil tanks and one concrete waste
oil tank. An EPA investigation in 1989 concluded
that contaminated soil and ground water still existed
at the site. This ROD addresses the contaminated
soil/sludge and ground water as a final remedy. The
primary contaminants of concern affecting the soil,
sludge, and ground water are VOCs, including
benzene and TCE; other organics; metals, including
chromium, nickel, and antimony; and inorganics,
including cyanide.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION;
The selected remedial action for this site includes
excavating, consolidating, and treating onsite an
estimated 3,000 cubic yards of contaminated soil and
sludge using oxidation-reduction to destroy inorganics,
followed by onsite stabilization of the treated soil and
sludge; backfilling the stabilized material onsite and
capping the area with either a RCRA-approved or
non-RCRA cap, based on the results of a treatability
study; extracting and treating contaminated ground
water onsite using alkaline chlorination to remove
cyanide and VOCs; precipitation/filtration to remove
metals; and air stripping and carbon adsorption to
remove VOCs, followed by either onsite discharge to
surface water or offsite discharge to a POTW;
disposing of the spent carbon from the treatment
processes in accordance with ARARs; and conducting
ground water monitoring. The present worth cost for
this remedial action is $6,392,000, which includes a
total O&M cost of $2,804,000 over a period of at
least 5 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS;
Chemical-specific soil/sludge clean-up goals are based
on health-based levels and include chromium
310 mg/kg; nickel 1,110 mg/kg; and antimony
25 mg/kg. Chemical-specific ground water clean-up
goals are based upon health-based levels, and include
benzene 5 ug/1; 1,2-dichloroethane 0.38 ug/1; 1,1-
dichloroethene 7 ug/1; 1,2-dichloroethene 70 ug/1;
1,1,1-TCA 200 ug/1; TCE 2.8 ug/1; vinyl chloride

MADISON COUNTRY SANITARY LANDFILL, FL
September 28, 1992
REGION 4
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 90-acre Madison County Sanitary Landfill is an
active landfill area located in Madison, Madison
County, Florida. Adjacent to the site is other county
land, including the County Department of
Transportation and the County's aviation hangar and
landing strip. The landfill surface is covered with
native soil that was originally excavated from the
trenches in preparing cells to receive waste.
Vegetative cover is absent over most of the inactive
or recently closed waste cells; however, over older
closed cells, vegetative cover is present. In 1970, the
City of Madison began operating the Madison County
Landfill as a sanitary landfill. The landfill, which
was operated as an unlined trench and fill operation,
was divided into several areas. The Yard Trash Area,
located in the southeastern portion of the landfill, was
primarily used to dispose of large bulk debris usually
associated with construction and demolition activities
as well as drums containing industrial wastes. The
alleged Acid Disposal Area, located in the southern
portion of the property, was reportedly used to
dispose of acid wash water. From 1971 to 1980,
domestic waste from the city and surrounding area as
well as local industrial wastes were disposed of in the
landfill. During that time, the ITT Thompson
Industries (formerly a division of ITT Corporation)
disposed of waste in the landfill, including 55-gallon
drums filled with waste polishing/buffer compounds
at the site, but the exact location of disposal is not
known. From 1971 to 1974, ITT Thompson arranged
for the disposal of acid, which was reportedly taken
to the landfill. The type of wastes disposed of
included acid wash water that may have contained
chromic acid with maximum concentrations of
chromium 50 ug/1. No information on the pH of the
acid wash water or the quantity disposed was
available. No other known wastes were disposed of in
that area. Currently, approximately 40 tons of waste
per day are disposed into the one group of remaining
active onsite waste cells; however the state is in the
process of closing the landfill to any receipts of
waste. As part of the landfill closure activities,
Madison County will construct an earthen/clay cap
over the site. This ROD addresses both the onsite
and offsite contaminated ground water in an effort to
minimize the migration of contamination from the
landfill to the surrounding community, to restore the
ground water to drinking water quality for the
chemicals of concern, and to monitor ground water in
a manner that will verify the effectiveness of the
selected remedy. The primary contaminants of
concern affecting the soil and ground water are
VOCs; other organics; and metals.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
installing a multi-layer clay cap over the landfill;
installing a stormwater runoff system including dikes,
impoundments, and drainage ditches to control cap
runoff; pumping and treatment of contaminated
ground water onsite using air stripping and carbon
adsorption, reinjection of the treated ground water
offsite, or if infeasible, evaluating other disposal
options including infiltration, irrigation, or direct
discharge; monitoring ground water; implementing
institutional controls including deed, land, and ground
water use restrictions, and site access restrictions
including fencing; and providing a contingency for
installation of a passive gas and collection and control
system, if methane is detected. The present worth
cost for this remedial action is $5,191,000, which
includes an annual O&M cost ranging from $109,000
to $409,000 for 25 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Chemical specific ground water clean-up goals are
based on the federal and state MCLs.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS:
Institutional controls include, but are not limited to,
access restrictions in the form of fences and signs
around the site; restrictions on future use of the site
to prevent construction of water supply wells and
construction onsite that would require excavation;
land use ordinances or other measures restricting
construction of water supply wells offsite in the
vicinity of the landfill; and ground water monitoring.

MARINE CORPS LOGISTICS BASE, GA
August 14, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION;
The 3,200-acre Marine Corps Logistics Base (MCLB)
site is an active military facility in Albany, Georgia.
Land use in the area surrounding the Base is
agricultural or recreational to the south and east, with
residential and commercial areas to the north and
west. The site currently serves as a center to control
acquisition and distribution of combat and support
materials for the U.S. Marine Corps. In addition, the
Base is used as a training facility for military
personnel and other functions of the Marine Corps.
During operations, MCLB has generated various types
of solid and liquid wastes on site, including refuse
and hazardous wastes. The hazardous wastes include
electroplating residues containing heavy metals,
organic solvents from stripping and cleaning
operations, and waste fuel oil. Because of suspected
contamination from site operations, the Navy
conducted several site investigations between 1985
and 1989. Twelve potential sources of contamination,
which were identified for the RI/FS, were divided
subsequently into five operable units for remedial
activities. This interim ROD addresses OU3, which
is composed of two potential sources of
contamination: a former leaking transformer location
(PSC 16), and a chrome-plating waste spill area
(PSC 17). Both areas are located in the west-central
portion of the Base. Surface soil from PSC 16 was
removed in a prior action to a 44-inch depth and was
replaced with clean soil. Future RODs will address
OUs 1, 2, 4, and 5 at the site, as well as all related
ground water contamination. The primary
contaminants of concern affecting the surface and
subsurface soil and sediment of PSC 16 and 17 are
organics, including PCBs and PAHs; and metals,
including chromium and lead.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
covering PSC 16 with a multi-layer cap; excavating
and disposing of sediment from within the catch basin
adjacent to PSC 16 offsite; excavating and
transporting hazardous soil from PSC 17 offsite for
stabilization and disposal; backfilling excavated areas
with clean soil and revegetating the area; installing
ground water monitoring wells; and implementing
institutional controls including land use restrictions on
future activities within the source areas, as well as
site access restrictions such as fencing. The estimated
total present worth cost for this remedial action is
$717,200, of which $242,200 is allocated for PSC 16,
including an estimated first-year O&M cost of
$41,500; and $475,000 is allocated for PSC 17, with
no O&M costs.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
The proposed remedy for PSC 16 will meet ARARs;
however, because capping is not a treatment
technology, no health-risk based clean-up goals will
be achieved. Contaminated soil from PSC 17 will be
stabilized offsite in accordance with RCRA land
disposal standards. Although these actions are
intended to be final for soil, ground water
contamination at OU3 will be investigated under a
separate ROD, at which time the ultimate level of
remediation to be attained will be determined.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS:
Land use restrictions for future activities will be
implemented.

MILAN ARMY AMMUNITION PLANT, TN
September 30, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION;
The 22,436-acre Milan Army Ammunition Plant
(MAAP) is located in western Tennessee, 5 miles east
of Milan, Tennessee. The facility was constructed in
1941 to produce and store fuses, boosters, and small-
and large-caliber ammunition. The site is located in
a primarily rural area where land use is predominantly
agricultural, and there are scattered residences to the
north and east of the facility boundary. The Memphis
Sand aquifer of the Claiborne Group is used as the
major source of potable water in this area. The site
lies within the coastal plain province of the
Mississippi Embayment. Of the original 13 onsite
process areas, only seven are in use today. One of
these is the O-line area at MAAP, which was built in
1941. Its major function since then has been to
remove explosives from bombs and projectiles by
injecting high pressure streams of hot water and steam
into the shells of the munitions. The types of
explosives handled at the facility include 2,4,6-
trinitrotoluene (TNT) and RDX. Wastewater,
contaminated with explosives, was discharged from
the washout operations through a series of baffled
concrete sumps where cooling caused significant
amounts of explosives to precipitate out of the waste
stream. Effluent from the sumps was initially
discharged to an open ditch, which ran through the O-
line area. In 1942, eleven individual surface
impoundments with a total capacity of 5.5 million
gallons were excavated to receive the effluent before
discharge to the open ditch. In 1978, during several
investigations, the Army observed that all of the
wastewater ponds were full and overflowing into
onsite soil, and that 3 of the 11 water supply wells
sampled were contaminated with explosives. After
onsite ground water contamination was determined to
be a direct result of the improper use of O-line ponds,
use was discontinued In 1981, the ponds were
drained and the effluent was treated in an offsite
facility. A closure plan was implemented in 1984, the
ponds were filled and covered with clay, and the area
was revegetated. This ROD addresses an interim
remedy for the contaminated ground water beneath
and immediately downgradient from the former ponds
as OU1. Future RODs will address contaminated soil,
sediment, and surface water as well as any additional
ground water contamination further downgradient.
The primary contaminants of concern affecting the
ground water are VOCs, including carbon disulfide;
other organics, including HMX, RDX, 2,4,6-TNT,
2,4-DNT, 2,6-DNT, 1,3-DNB, 1,3,5-trinitrobenzene,
and nitrobenzene; and inorganics, including nitrate.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected interim remedial action for this site
includes pumping and pretreatment of contaminated
ground water immediately downgradient of the former
O-line ponds using electrochemical precipitation to
remove inorganics, followed by onsite filtration to
remove suspended solids, and UV oxidation to
destroy the majority of the organic contaminants, and
granular activated carbon (GAC) to remove the
remaining organic compounds; re-injecting the treated
water onsite upgradient of the former ponds;
analyzing the precipitated filter cake and the carbon
filters for hazardous waste characteristics and
disposing of them offsite accordingly; monitoring
ground water; and implementing institutional controls,
including ground water use restrictions. The
estimated present worth cost for this interim remedial
action is $26,980,000, which includes an annual O&M
cost of $1,413,000 for 30 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Chemical-specific ground water discharge levels are
based on best practicable treatment, are slightly higher
than human health-risk standards (HBN) and SDWA
MCLs, and include nitrate 10,000 ug/1 (MCL); carbon
disulfide3,500 ug/1 (HBN); l,3-dinitrobenzene5 ug/1
(HBN); 2,4-dinitrotoluene 0.5 ug/1 (HBN); 2,6-
dinitrotoluene 0.5 mg/1 (HBN); HMX 2,000 ug/1
(HBN); nitrobenzene 17.5 ug/1 (HBN); RDX 10 ug/1
(HBN); 1,3, 5-trinitrobenzene 20 ug/1 (HBN); and
2,4,6-TNT 10 ug/1 (HBN). Health-based standards
will be fully met in the final remedial action under
one final ROD addressing ground water immediately
downgradient of the former ponds (OU1), soil in and
around the former pond (OU2), and the ground water
plume (OU14).
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS:
Institutional controls will be implemented to prevent
ingestion of contaminated ground water. Ground
water within the OU will not be used for potable
purposes while contaminant levels are higher than
health-based levels, and any well installed within the
facility will be tested prior to use.

NATIONAL ELECTRIC COIL/COOPER INDUSTRIES, KY
September 30, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 3.5-acre National Electric Coil/Cooper Industries
site includes an active manufacturing facility in
Dayhoit, Harlan County, Kentucky. Land use in the
area is light industrial and residential, with 40
families residing at a mobile home park adjacent to
the site. The site is located within the floodplain of
the Cumberland River, and overlies both shallow and
bedrock aquifers, the latter being used for drinking
water and industrial uses. From 1951 to 1985, the
National Electric Coil (NEC) Company operated a
manufacturing facility onsite, which rewound electric
motors, manufactured coils, and rebuilt machinery
used in the coal mining industry. In 1985, Cooper
Industries purchased the facility and operated it until
1987. TCE was used onsite to remove oil and tar
from motors and other equipment prior to rebuilding.
A 1,000-gallon tank, which held the solvent, was
maintained in a below-grade concrete pit.
Periodically, the tank was drained and the waste
liquid was allowed to flow over land and drain into
the Cumberland River. Sludge from the tank and
debris from an onsite furnace were disposed of along
the river bank. PCB-laden oil also was allowed to
drain from transformers onto the ground and into the
river. These improper disposal practices, which
continued until the mid-1980's, have resulted in
contamination of the local drinking water supply,
drainage channels, river embankment property, and
facility grounds. In 1989, state investigations
revealed VOC contamination in several residential
wells. Bottled water was provided to affected
residences and municipal lines were installed. As part
of a 1990 removal action, EPA required the PRPs to
excavate 5,100 tons of contaminated soil for offsite
disposal. This ROD addresses an interim remedy for
the VOC contamination in the bedrock aquifer to
further restrict migration of the VOC-contaminant
plume. A future ROD will address a final remedy
for the shallow aquifer beneath the site and any other
site-related contamination. The primary contaminants
of concern affecting the ground water in the bedrock
aquifer and air are VOCs, including TCE, toluene,
and xylenes; and metals, including lead.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
onsite pumping and treatment of contaminated ground
water using air stripping to remove VOCs, with
onsite discharge of the treated water to the
Cumberland River; capturing and treating resulting
vapors using activated carbon, and disposing of the
spent carbon offsite as RCRA F001 waste; and
monitoring ambient air and ground water. The
estimated capital cost for this remedial action is
$106,000, with an estimated annual O&M cost of
$150,000.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Chemical-specific ground water clean-up goals are
based on state effluent discharge limitations and
include TCE 0.172 mg/1; 1,1-DCE 0.0021 mg/1; vinyl
chloride 0.128 mg/1; PCBs 0.0043 ug/1; cis-l,2-DCE

NEW HANOVER COUNTY AIRPORT BURN PIT, NC
September 29, 1992
REGION 4
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION;
The New Hanover County Airport Burn Pit site is
located on Gardner Road approximately 500 feet west
of the New Hanover County Airport terminal, New
Hanover, North Carolina. Land use in the vicinity of
the site is commercial, industrial, and residential. The
site was originally developed as a military hospital;
however, from 1968 to 1979, the site was used for
fire-fighter training purposes. During training
exercises, jet fuel, gasoline, petroleum storage
bottoms, fuel oil, kerosene, and sorbent materials
from oil spill cleanup were burned in a pit. During
its active years, water from the pit was allowed to
flow onto land surfaces. Inspections conducted after
the pit was abandoned showed that most of the
standing liquid in the pit was water. The bottom of
the pit and the soils immediately surrounding the pit
were black with characteristics similar to tar. In
addition to the burn pit area, fire-fighting activities
resulted in contamination at several other site areas,
including an auto burn area; a railroad tank burn area;
an aircraft mock-up area; a fuel tank and pipelines
area; and two stained soil areas north of the burn pit.
In 1990, under EPA order, the PRP removed waste
materials, contaminated water, surface and subsurface
soils, and structures. Removed and disposed of were
approximately 12,500 gallons of contaminated water;
3,200 tons of contaminated soil; drums; and
dismantled structures and pipelines. This ROD
addresses restoration of the aquifer to drinking water
quality as a final action for this site. The primary
contaminants of concern affecting the ground water
are VOCs, including benzene; and metals, including
chromium and lead.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
collecting additional ground water quality data for a
1-year period; conducting a treatability study to size
the ground water treatment equipment and to
determine if a technology for pretreatment is
necessary; extracting and onsite pretreatment of an
estimated 9.7 million gallons of contaminated ground
water using either clarification, filtration, or addition
of chemical complexing agents to remove suspended
solids or iron, followed by treatment with air stripping
to remove VOCs, with offsite discharge of the treated

POTTER'S SEPTIC TANK SERVICE PITS, NC
Augusts, 1992
REGION 4
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION;
The 5-acre Potter's Septic Tank Service Pits (Potters's
Pits) is located in a rural section of Brunswick
County, North Carolina. The surrounding land use is
semi-rural residential. The site is situated within a
residential community known as the Town of Sandy
Creek. The Chinnis Branch waterbody traverses the
site, flowing from southwest to northeast. A
forest/wetland region covers approximately half of the
site. There are no public water supplies within
approximately 10 miles of Sandy Creek because the
current residences use private domestic water wells
and onsite septic systems. The EPA Domestic Water
Survey for the subdivision indicates that there are
60 wells in the area. Between 1969 and 1976, before
the land was developed for residential use, a family
business operated sludge hauling and oil spill clean-up
companies as well as waste disposal pits on the site.
Disposal practices consisted of placing petroleum
waste products and septic tank sludges either in
shallow unlined pits or directly on the land surface.
In 1976, an unlined pit failed, allowing approximately
20,000 gallons of oil to flow into Chinnis Branch.
The U.S. Coast Guard responded to the spill pursuant
to CWA. Additionally, the site owners pumped the
remaining oil from the breached pit and three other
onsite pits for offsite disposal. Approximately 150
truckloads of oil sludges and stained soil were
removed. Thick oil sludge that could not be pumped
was mixed with sand and buried onsite. In 1982,
Dixie and Earl Gurkin purchased the site and
discovered buried wastes, which resulted in an EPA
investigation that revealed soil and ground water
contamination. In 1984, EPA conducted an
emergency removal, excavating an estimated 1,770
tons of oil, sludge, and contaminated soil for offsite
disposal. This ROD addresses the ground water
treatment and contaminated soil for offsite disposal.
The primary contaminants of concern affecting the
soil and ground water are VOCs, including benzene,
toluene, and xylenes; other organics, including PAHs
and pesticides; and metals, including chromium and
lead.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
temporarily relocating all onsite residents; excavating
and treating approximately 10,100 cubic yards of
contaminated soil onsite using an ex-situ low
temperature thermal desorption process; stabilizing the
waste stream if necessary, and treating any off-gas
emissions using a treatment to be selected later;
sampling and analyzing the treatment residue,
disposing of all non-hazardous treated soil into the
original excavated areas, and filling and revegetating
the areas; treating any soil that exhibits RCRA
toxicity characteristics onsite using stabilization, with
offsite or onsite disposal; extracting and treating
ground water from the surficial aquifer onsite using
precipitation/flocculation/filtration to remove heavy
metals, and air stripping to remove VOCs, with
discharge of the treated water onsite to surface water;
transporting the residual sludge offsite for disposal or
treatment, if necessary; and conducting soil sampling
and ground water monitoring. This ROD provides for
a contingency in the event soil and ground water
remedies are not effective, which includes excavation
and offsite treatment or disposal of soil, based on
TCLP test results, with filling of excavated onsite
areas, and pumping and onsite containment of ground
water, with implementation of institutional controls,
chemical-specific ARAR waivers, and continued
monitoring. The estimated total present worth for the
remedial action is $11,800,000, which includes a total
annual O&M cost of $384,281 for 50 years. The
estimated capital cost for the contingency remedy is
$6,288,234.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Goals are based on the more stringent of state or
federal standards and federal land disposal restrictions
pertaining to storage and transportation of hazardous
wastes. Chemical-specific ground water goals include
benzene, 5 ug/1; toluene 1,000 ug/1, xylenes 1,000
ug/1; chromium 50 ug/1; lead 15 ug/1; and naphthalene
30 ug/1. Chemical-specific goals for subsurface and
surface soil include benzene 0.01 mg/kg; toluene 3.4
mg/kg; xylenes 3.5 mg/kg; chromium 97.2 mg//kg;
lead 25 mg/kg; and naphthalene 1.8 mg/kg.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS:
Institutional controls may be implemented as part of
the contingency remedy.

SAVANNAH RIVER (USDOE) (OPERABLE UNIT 1), SC
June 29, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 300-square-mile Savannah River (USDOE) site
(SRS) is a Department of Energy (DOE) facility
located in Aiken, Barnwell, and Allendale Counties,
South Carolina, 20 miles south of Aiken, South
Carolina, and 25 miles southeast of Augusta, Georgia.
Land use in the surrounding area is primarily
agricultural. The Savannah River Site is a secured
facility with no residents. The site, co-operated by
the Westinghouse Savannah River Company, is a
national defense-related facility producing tritium,
plutonium, and other special nuclear materials. From
1958 to 1985, SRS used a northwest portion of the
site, termed the "M-area," as a hazardous waste
management facility (HWMF). The M-area HWMF
or OU1 consisted of an unlined surface impoundment
(settling basin), a process sewer line, an overflow
drainage/seepage area, and an area known as Lost
Lake, which represents a special ecological
environment known as Carolina Bay. Manufacturing
wastes from aluminum-forming and metal-finishing
operations conducted onsite were discharged through
the sewer line to the basin, where metals such as
uranium, nickel, lead, and aluminum settled out of
solution. Any basin overflow went to the
drainage/seepage area and then on to Lost Lake. Use
of this system ended in 1985, when a new wastewater
treatment facility was installed. This interim ROD
integrates previously completed RCRA closure
activities that were required and approved by the
South Carolina Department of Health and
Environmental Control. Future RODs will address
final remedial actions for other contaminated media,
including the vadose zone and ground water,
associated with the M-area HWMF. The primary
contaminants of concern affecting soil, sludge, and
surface water are VOCs, including TCE and PCE;
metals, including lead; acids; and radioactive
materials, including uranium.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
pumping and onsite treatment of any standing water
that remained in the basin; excavating, dewatering,
and stabilizing approximately 37,000 cubic yards of
basin sludge using Portland cement; placing,
consolidating, and compacting the stabilized sludge
into the basin; discharging the sludge effluent from
the dewatering process offsite to a permitted NPDES
outfall; consolidating approximately 39,700 cubic
yards of contaminated soil excavated from the
seepage area, Lost Lake, and a portion of the sewer
line into the basin; installing and maintaining a low
permeability cap over the settling basin, which
includes a surface soil layer that will be graded and
vegetated to promote drainage; monitoring ground
water; and implementing institutional controls
including deed restrictions. The estimated present
worth cost for this remedial action ranges from
$3,000,000 to $5,000,000, which includes an annual
O&M cost of $20,000 for 30 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS;
No chemical-specific clean-up goals were provided in
this interim ROD, but will be provided for the final
M-area HWMF remedial action. The goal of this
interim ROD is to integrate prior RCRA decisions
into the CERCLA process. The goal of the
remediation is to minimize the migration of
contaminants to the ground water and eliminate
surface transport pathways.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS:
A deed restriction on the M-area HWMF will be
maintained with the Aiken County zoning authority as
required by the South Carolina Hazardous Waste
Management Regulations.

SAVANNAH RIVER (USDOE) (OPERABLE UNIT 2), SC
June 29, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 300-square-mile Savannah River (USDOE) site
(SRS) is a Department of Energy (DOE) facility
located in Aiken, Barnwell, and Allendale Counties,
South Carolina, 20 miles south of Aiken, South
Carolina, and 25 miles southeast of Augusta, Georgia.
Land use in the surrounding area is primarily
agricultural. The Savannah River Site is a secured
facility with no residents. The site, co-operated by
the Westinghouse Savannah River Company, is a
national defense-related facility producing tritium,
plutonium, and other special nuclear materials. From
1956 to 1985, SRS used a northwest portion of the
site as a hazardous waste management facility
(HWMF), which received waste from the Savannah
River Metallurgical Laboratory (MET LAB).
Activities at MET LAB included corrosion testing on
stainless steels and nickel-based alloys. This process
required degreasing and cleaning metal parts and
sample etching. Solvents used in the degreasing
included acetone, carbon tetrachloride, TCA, and
TCE. Potassium chloride, sodium cyanide, and
hydrofluoric acids were used in the etching. All of
these chemicals were used and discharged to the
HWMF in small quantities. The MET LAB HWMF,
or OU2, consisted of a vitrified clay process sewer
line, which carried effluent from the laboratory to a
basin, and a drainage outfall, which flowed into an
adjacent Carolina Bay, a special ecological
environment. The contaminated sediment in the
bottom of the basin total 450 cubic yards. The
drainage outfall consisted of a pipe beneath a roadway
and a drainage ditch from the roadway into the
Carolina Bay during periods of heavy rainfall.
Effluents to this system consisted mainly of
noncontact cooling waters and small quantities of
laboratory rinse water containing the previously
named hazardous substances. Beginning in 1983,
hazardous wastes from the metallurgical laboratory
building were sent to a TSD facility onsite at SRS,
and in 1985 the process sewer line was closed. This
interim ROD integrates previously completed RCRA
closure activities that were required and approved by
the South Carolina Department of Health and
Environmental Control. Future RODs will address
final remedy selection for the site ground water and
remaining contaminants associated with the MET
LAB HWMF. The primary contaminants of concern
affecting the soil, sediment, debris, and surface
water are VOCs, including TCE; metals, including
lead and chromium; and acids.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
excavating and compacting the process sewer line and
associated soil and sediment, placing them in the
basin, and installing a low permeability cap over the
basin; sampling the accumulated rainwater in the
basin with onsite discharge and/or treatment, if
constituent concentrations in the accumulated
rainwater exceed NPDES discharge standards;
maintaining the cap; monitoring ground water; and
implementing institutional controls, including deed
restrictions. The estimated present worth cost for this
interim remedial action is $2,000,000, which includes
an annual O&M cost of $20,000 for 30 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
No chemical-specific clean-up standards were
specified in this interim ROD, but will be provided
for the final MET LAB HWMF remedial action. The
goal of this interim ROD is to integrate prior RCRA
decisions into the CERCLA process. The goal of the
remediation is to minimize the migration of

SAVANNAH RIVER (USDOE) (OPERABLE UNIT 3) SC
June 29, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION;
The 300-square-mile Savannah River (USDOE) site
(SRS) is a Department of Energy (DOE) facility
located in Aiken County, 20 miles south of Aiken,
South Carolina, and 25 miles southeast of Augusta,
Georgia. Land use in the area is primarily industrial,
and SRS is a secured facility with no residents. The
site, co-operated by Westinghouse Savannah River
Company, is a national defense-related facility
producing tritium, plutonium, and other special
nuclear materials. The A/M area, located in the
northwest portion of the SRS, contained many
operations that involved the use of hazardous
substances. Between 1952 and 1981, an estimated
13 million pounds of chlorinated solvents were used
in the A/M area to degrease fuel and target tubes for
use in the SRS reactors. An estimated 50 to
90 percent of the solvents evaporated during use;
however, the remaining solvents were discharged to
the process sewer system. There are four main
sections to the A/M area. The A-014 outfall received
waste solvents (mainly TCE and PCE) via an
underground sewerage line from buildings 313-M and
320-M onsite until 1976. From 1958 to 1985, the M-
area basin hazardous waste management facility
(HWMF) received an estimated 2 million pounds of
spent solvents from degreasing operations in buildings
313-M, 320-M, and 321-M. In transit, some of the
solvents leaked into the ground through cracks in the
pipeline. Finally, the 321-M solvent storage area
contained various storage tanks for TCE and PCE. In
1975, an estimated 1,200 gallons of PCE leaked from
a cracked ceramic pump seal connected to a solvent
storage tank located west of building 321-M. As a
result of these activities and incidents, a ground water
plume, encompassing 1,200 acres beneath the A/M
area, is contaminated with significant concentrations
of VOCs. In 1981, SRS voluntarily initiated a ground
water RCRA corrective action program to investigate
the nature and extent of ground water contamination
and to develop a remedial program. Ground water
monitoring wells were installed, and beginning in
1983, extraction and treatment of ground water began.
To date, over 1.3 billion gallons of contaminated
ground water have been treated. This ROD addresses
an interim remedy for the A/M area ground water
subsurface vadose zone, as OU3. Other RODs have
addressed interim remedies for the M-area HWMF
and the Savannah Metallurgical Laboratory (SRL)
HWMF. Future RODs will address final remedies for
these OUs. The primary contaminants of concern
affecting the ground water in the A/M area are VOCs,
including PCE and TCE.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected interim remedy for this site includes
installing 11 or more ground water recovery wells
under the RCRA program throughout the A/M area;
extracting and treating contaminated ground water
using an air stripper to remove volatile solvents,
followed by onsite discharge to an NPDES permitted
outfall; upgrading the air stripping tower to include an
off-gas treatment system based on the result of a
treatability study. The estimated present worth cost
for this remedial action is $7,800,000, which includes
an annual O&M cost of $20,000 for 30 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
No chemical-specific clean-up goals were specified in
this interim ROD, but they will be provided for the
final remedial action. The goal of this remediation is
to reduce ground water contaminants and minimize
migration of the contaminant plume.

STANDARD AUTO BUMPER, FL
September 28, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The approximately 1-acre Standard Auto Bumper site
is a chromium and nickel plating facility in Hialeah,
northeast Dade County, Florida. Surrounding land
use is primarily industrial, residential, and
recreational. The topography at the site is generally
flat. Site features consist of a one-story concrete
block structure, two concrete-holding tanks, a concrete
and asphalt slab, and numerous plating process
holding and drying racks. In 1959, Standard Auto
Bumper began electroplating operations, and
discharged wastewater from the electroplating and
stripping process to an onsite drainage ditch/swale
area west of the facility. In 1972, a wastewater
treatment system was constructed to convert
hexavalent chromium to insoluble trivalent chromium.
Between 1972 and 1979, the effluent from this
treatment system was discharged to an underground,
drainage trench onsite. In 1979, use of this trench
was discontinued when the Hialeah sewer system
began receiving effluent discharge. Dade County also
documented numerous improper discharges from the
facility between 1977 and 1982. EPA investigations
of soil and ground water in 1985 identified elevated
concentrations of metals in the ground water beneath
the former disposal areas. In 1989 and 1990, a
removal action included soil excavation of the
discharge trench area and offsite disposal of the
material. The primary source of contamination was
determined to be the electroplating process waste
streams. This ROD addresses onsite contaminated
soil to reduce the migration of these contaminants to
the ground water. Remediation of contaminated
ground water will be addressed in a subsequent ROD.
The primary contaminants of concern affecting the
soil are metals, including chromium and lead.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
excavating 2,500 cubic yards of contaminated soil
with concentrations exceeding a 10"6 risk level and
disposing of the soil offsite; backfilling the excavated
areas with clean fill; and monitoring ground water.
The estimated present worth cost for this remedial
action is $338,186, which includes a present worth
O&M cost of $40,186.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Chemical-specific soil clean-up goals are based on the
exceedance of a 10"6 risk level, including hexavalent
chromium 52 mg/kg; nickel 370 mg/kg; and total
chromium 519 mg/kg.

USDOE OAK RIDGE RESERVATION (USDOE) (OPERABLE UNIT 6), TN
September 30, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The Oak Ridge Reservation (Operable Unit 6) site is
located within the K-25 plant, a former uranium
enrichment facility in Oak Ridge, Roane County,
Tennessee. Land use in the area is mixed industrial,
recreational, residential, and agricultural. Since the
1940's, the fabrication, decontamination, and
maintenance processes associated with activities at the
site, known as K-25, have produced hazardous and
radioactive wastes. To dispose of these wastes,
treatment, storage, and disposal facilities were
constructed at the K-25 site. In the mid-1970's, the
swampy spring discharge area at the base of one of
the waste disposal units, the K-1070-C/D Burial
Grounds, was filled and a pipe was inserted into the
hillside to collect natural seepage for routing to a
storm drain. The pipe discharge is referred to as
SW31. In 1989, K-25 was divided into OUs to
address and isolate environmental problems into more
manageable entities, and the K-1070-C/D Burial
Ground and SW31 became part of the K-1070 OU.
The K-1070 OU is presently undergoing an RI under
CERCLA; however, SW31 has been isolated for
interim action. This ROD addresses an interim
remedy to reduce the migration of contaminants and
degradation of the environment caused by the SW31
discharge while the investigation of the K-1070 OU
continues. The objective of this ROD, which
addresses OU6, is to terminate the direct discharge of
contaminants to surface water by intercepting and
routing contaminated waters for treatment via an
NPDES-permitted outfall prior to discharge to surface
water. Future RODs will address source control
actions to remediate the K-1070-C/D disposal pits and
trenches, which are suspected of causing releases of
hazardous substances to ground water and a final
remediation action to address ground water
contamination problems at the K-25 site as a whole.
The primary contaminants of concern affecting the
surface water are VOCs, including benzene, PCE,
TCE, toluene, and xylenes; other organics, including
PCBs and PAHs; and metals, including lead.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
collecting and pretreating surface water using
oxidation, pH adjustment, and flocculation/
clarification to remove heavy metals, followed by
treatment by an air stripper to remove VOCs, and
carbon polishing to remove PCBs; discharging the
water offsite to a NPDES-permitted facility for final
treatment prior to discharge; controlling air emissions
from the air stripping process using carbon
adsorption, if necessary, with regeneration or disposal
of the spent carbon; and conducting quarterly surface
water monitoring. The estimated capital cost for this
remedial action is $350,000, with an annual O&M
cost of $117,700.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Chemical-specific surface water clean-up goals are
based on SDWA MCLs and primary health advisory.
These include benzene 0.005 mg/1; PCE 0.005 mg/1;
TCE 0.005 mg/1; toluene 1 mg/1; xylenes (total)

USDOE OAK RIDGE RESERVATION (OPERABLE UNIT 18), TN
September 30, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The USDOE Oak Ridge Reservation (Operable Unit
18) site is located adjacent to the City of Oak Ridge,
Anderson County, Tennessee. The Oak Ridge Y-12
plant was built in 1943 by the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers as part of the Manhattan Project. Y-12
occupies the upper reaches of East Fork Poplar Creek
in Bear Creek Valley, which lies between Pine Ridge
to the north and Chestnut Ridge to the south. The
original mission of the plant was to separate the
fissionable isotope of uranium using electromagnetic
separation. Recent activities at Y-12 have included
the chemical processing of lithium and uranium
compounds, precision fabrication of components from
these and many other materials, and assembly of the
components into major subassemblies for nuclear
weapons. In support of these activities, the plant
conducts metallurgical and machine shop operations,
including electroplating. The Plating Shop Container
Areas, which are within the fenced security area of Y-
12, receive spent plating solutions and sludge. Spills
in the Plating Shop Container Areas have released
inorganic and organic contaminants to the surrounding
subsurface soil; however, migration of contaminants
to ground water and surface water is unlikely because
they are present at low concentrations. The physical
and chemical properties of soil and contaminants are
not conducive to the transport of inorganics to the
ground water, and the gravel and asphalt surfaces of
the site act to reduce erosion. This ROD addresses
OU18, the soil in the Plating Shop Container Areas.
A subsequent ROD may address future contaminants
in ground water, surface water, and runoff, if
necessary, for the UEFPC Integrator OU. Because
the Plating Shop Container Areas are within the
fenced security of Y-12 and are devoid of vegetation,
the probability of detectable impacts to terrestrial and
aquatic plants and animals is low. Currently, the total
excess cancer risk is below the EPA-established range
of concern, and noncarcinogenic health effects are
also below the threshold for potential concern, based
on a conservative exposure to protect human health at
the Y-12 Plating Shop Container Areas. Therefore,
there are no contaminants of concern affecting this
site.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes no
further action. No additional action is necessary to
protect human health and the environment. There are
no costs associated with this no action remedy.

USMC CAMP LEJEUNE MILITARY RESERVATION, NC
September 23, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 500-acre USMC Camp Lejeune Military
Reservation is located 15 miles southeast of
Jacksonville, in Onslow County, North Carolina.
Within the site lies the Hadnot Point Industrial Area
(HPIA), which was constructed in the late 1930's. It
is composed of 75 buildings and facilities, which
include gas stations, offices, storage yards,
maintenance shops, and a dry cleaning plant. A
transformer storage area, industrial area fly ash dump,
and a fuel tank farm also are located near the HPIA.
Several areas of the HPIA have been investigated for
potential contamination attributed to Marine Corps
activities and operations that resulted in a generation
of potentially hazardous wastes. This ROD addresses
an interim remedial action for the shallow aquifer at
the HPIA to protect human health from exposure to
VOCs and metals. Subsequent actions are planned to
fully address all of the impacted media at the site;
specifically, soil and the deeper aquifer. The primary
contaminants of concern affecting the shallow ground
water aquifer are VOCs, including benzene and TCE;
and metals, including arsenic, chromium, and lead.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION;
The selected remedial action for this site includes
extracting and pretreating contaminated ground water
using an oil/water separator; treating the water onsite
using precipitation, chemical reduction, and
sedimentation to remove inorganics, and air stripping
to remove VOCs; treating emissions using carbon
adsorption, based on the results of a treatability study;
discharging the treated water offsite to the Hadnot
Point Sewage treatment plant for ex-situ biological
treatment, prior to final onsite discharge to the New
River; transporting the free product to a waste oil
recycler or incinerator offsite; conducting long-term
ground water monitoring; and implementing
institutional controls including ground water use
restrictions. The estimated present worth cost for this
remedial action is $7,600,000, which includes an
estimated annual O&M cost of $351,500 for 30 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Chemical-specific ground water clean-up standards are
based on SDWA MCLs and state standards and
include benzene 1 ug/1; TCE 2.8 ug/1; lead 15 ug/1;
arsenic 50 ug/1; and chromium 50 ug/1.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS:
Institutional controls will be implemented to restrict
the use of ground water and prevent installation of
new wells in the area.

WHITEHOUSE WASTE OIL PITS (AMENDMENT), FL
June 16, 1992
REGION 4
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 7-acre Whitehouse Waste Oil Pits site was used
by Allied Petroleum Products (Allied) to dispose of
acidic waste oil sludges from its oil reclamation
process in Whitehouse, Duval County, Florida. A
cypress swamp system and residential area are
immediately adjacent to the site. The northeast
tributary of McGirts Creek traverses the north site
boundary. The Floridian surficial aquifer underlies
the site and is the drinking water source for local
residents. In Allied's reclamation process,
contaminants were removed from waste oil treatment
with concentrated sulfuric acid, which precipitated
most of the additives and sediment as well as a large
portion of the metals and other contaminants in the
waste oil. The acid sludge produced in the first step
and clay used to decolorize the oil were dumped into
the unlined pits at the site. In 1976, following a
200,000-gallon waste oil spill that occurred during
dike wall reconstruction, a treatment system to drain
the liquid portion of the pits was constructed. In
1979, under the supervision of the state and city, the
pits were capped with clay and top soil. A 1985
ROD addressed source control as a containment
remedy consisting of a slurry wall construction, soil
cap, and a ground water recovery and treatment
system; however, EPA has re-evaluated the 1985
ROD selection and determined that the containment
remedy failed to meet the requirements of SARA. As
a result, this ROD amendment addresses an
alternative for treating Whitehouse wastes by
eliminating direct contact risk associated with pit
soil/sludge wastes and preventing contaminated
ground water in the surficial aquifer from migrating
laterally. The primary contaminants of concern
affecting the soil, debris, ground water, and surface
water are VOCs, including benzene, toluene, and
xylenes; other organics, including PCBs and phenols;
and metals, including arsenic, chromium, and lead.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The amended remedial action for this site includes
excavating and screening the soil and sludge wastes
from within seven waste pits to remove coarse debris,
with decontamination and offsite disposal of the
debris not amenable to biotreatment; treating
56,930 cubic yards of screened soil and sludge/wastes
using soil washing, followed by onsite ex-situ
biotreatment of soil wash water and suspended
contaminated fines using a slurry-phase bioreactor,
with discharge of the treated water to an onsite
drainage ditch if discharge levels are met, or further
treatment in the onsite treatment system prior to
discharge; treating contaminated fines and sludge
onsite using solidification/stabilization, with
replacement in the drainage ditch; extracting
contaminated ground water with analysis and onsite
treatment using granular activated carbon (GAC)
adsorption and chemical precipitation units, prior to
discharge to surface water; installing and maintaining
a 6-inch vegetative cover over the excavated area;
fencing the site; conducting a pilot-scale treatability
study to further develop the treatment train; and
monitoring ground water. If the ground water
treatment system is not capable of achieving the
clean-up goals at the end of any 5-year period, the
following contingencies will apply: containment
measures to prevent further migration of the ground
water plume; consideration of a waiver of chemical-
specific ARARs for the aquifer; implementation of
institutional controls, including deed restrictions, to
restrict access to certain portions of the aquifer; and
monitoring onsite and offsite wells. The estimated
present worth for this remedial action is $15,500,000,
with O&M costs of $3,400,000 for 30 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Soil clean-up levels are based on a direct contact
exposure pathway (risk-based). Chemical-specific
goals for soil include arsenic 42 mg/kg; benzene 0.4
nig/kg; chromium 526 mg/kg; lead 500 mg/kg;
naphthalene 317 mg/kg; PCB 1 mg/kg; phenol 47,467
mg/kg; PCE 4 mg/kg; toluene 2,000 mg/kg; and TCE
0.7 mg/kg. The ground water clean-up levels are in
accordance with the federal and state water quality
standards. Chemical-specific goals for ground water
include arsenic 50 ug/1; benzene 1 ug/1;
benzo(a)pyrene 0.2 ugA; chromium 100 ug/1; lead 15
ug/1; 3,4-methyl phenol 850 ugA; naphthalene 10 ug/1;
phenol 10,000 ug/1; toluene 24 ug/1; TCE 3 ug/1; and
xylenes 50 ug/1.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS:
Deed restrictions may be implemented as part of the
contingency remedy, as needed, to restrict access to
the aquifer.

WILSON CONCEPTS OF FLORIDA, FL
September 22, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 2-acre Wilson Concepts of Florida site operated
as a manufacturing and metal-finishing facility in
Pompano Beach, Broward County, Florida. Land use
in the area is predominantly industrial. The site
overlies the Biscayne Aquifer, a sole-source aquifer
that supplies all potable water for Broward County.
From 1974 to 1987, Wilson Concepts of Florida, Inc.,
used the site to manufacture jet aircraft engine parts,
metal-working machinery, and for associated
operations, such as precision machining, drilling, and
milling of metal parts, vibratory deburring,
degreasing, steam cleaning, and spray coating of
parts. Chemicals used at the site included a variety of
hydraulic and lubricating oils, metal protection agents,
water coolants, methylene chloride, methyl ethyl
ketone, and chemical cleaners. As a result of several
inspections from 1976 through 1989, the Broward
County Environmental Quality Control Board
(BCEQCB) identified poor waste handling practices,
including discharge of industrial wastes onto the
ground. This ROD addresses onsite soil and ground
water. EPA investigations have shown that the soil
and ground water contamination associated with the
site is no longer considered a health threat under
current or likely land use conditions. Therefore, there
are no contaminants of concern affecting this site.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes no
further action with ground water monitoring at and
around the site for 1 year. The estimated total cost
for the ground water monitoring is $48,000, which
includes an O&M cost of $36,000 for 1 year.

WOODBURY CHEMICAL (PRINCETON PLANT), FL
June 25, 1992
REGION 4
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 5-acre Woodbury Chemical (Princeton Plant) site
is a pesticide and fertilizer formulation and storage
facility located approximately one-half mile southwest
of Princeton, Dade County, Florida. Land use in the
area is predominantly agricultural, with two
residences located just north and west of the site.
The estimated 20,000 people who reside in Princeton
use the underlying sole-source Biscayne aquifer as
their drinking water supply. From 1927 to 1959, the
site was used as a tomato and potato packing house.
From 1959 to the present, the site has been used for
formulating technical-grade materials to produce
pesticides and fertilizers. As a result of a tank leak or
spill in the late 1970's, EPA conducted numerous
investigations that revealed toxaphene contamination
in soil. In 1990, a removal action was conducted at
the site, which resulted in the excavation of
contaminated soil. Soil contaminated with greater
than 100 mg/kg of toxaphene was sent offsite to the
GSX facility in Pinewood, South Carolina, and soil
contaminated with less than 100 mg/kg was sent to
the South Dade County landfill. The previous
removal action has eliminated the principal threat at
the site, and no additional action is necessary to
protect human health or the environment. Therefore,
there are no contaminants of concern affecting this
site.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site is no further
action, with quarterly ground water monitoring. The
estimated total cost for this remedial action is
$22,500, which includes an O&M cost of $10,000 for
1 year.

YELLOW WATER ROAD DUMP, FL
June 30, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 14-acre Yellow Water Road Dump site is a
former storage area for PCB-contaminated liquids and
electrical equipment in Baldwin, Duval County,
Florida. Dense woodlands are located along the
perimeter of the site, and surrounding land use is
mixed commercial and residential. The property,
originally purchased in 1940 for commercial
development, was later acquired by the American
Environmental Energy Corporation (AEEC). In 1981,
AEEC entered into a joint venture with two other
corporations with the intent of moving an incinerator
to the site to destroy PCBs and began onsite storage
of PCB-contaminated liquids and electrical equipment
at the former operational area in anticipation of
upcoming onsite incineration operations. The proper
permits for the incinerator were never obtained. In
1982, PCB-contaminated oils were spilled at the site
during onsite salvage operations to remove valuable
metal parts from transformer carcasses. As a result of
onsite PCB contamination, EPA conducted a number
of investigations that revealed PCB contamination in
the soil and ground water. In 1984, EPA conducted
a removal action that included cleaning and storing
719 electrical transformers; securing 100,000 gallons
of PCB liquids in onsite holding tanks; and
excavating and storing 3,000 cubic yards of PCB-
contaminated soil onsite. In 1988, EPA directed a
second removal action that included demolishing an
onsite warehouse; disposing of warehouse debris and
stockpiling contaminated soil offsite; incinerating
78,854 gallons of PCB liquids offsite; and disposing
of 704 transformers and 18,690 pounds of capacitors
offsite. The remedy selected by EPA for this site has
been conducted in two separate operable units. A
1990 ROD addressed the source of the contamination
by excavating, stabilizing, and solidifying the PCB
contaminated soil. This ROD addresses the
appropriate remediation for the contaminated ground
water as OU2. This is the second and final planned
remedial action for this site. The primary
contaminant of concern affecting the ground water is
PCB, an organic.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION;
The selected remedial action for this site includes
constructing four additional ground water monitoring
wells downgradient of the former operational area;
installing a security fence; conducting long-term
ground water monitoring; and implementing
institutional controls, including deed and ground water
use restrictions, to control exposure to contaminated
ground water. Downgradient monitoring will be
performed quarterly for 2 years, after which the
ground water monitoring frequency will be
reevaluated if no PCB contamination is detected. If
PCB contamination is identified above MCLs in
compliance wells, additional contingent remedial
activities would be implemented, including
construction of ground water extraction wells;
installation of a ground water filtration system, with
a granular activated carbon (GAC) treatment system,
and a treated effluent discharge system, which uses
onsite infiltration ponds or drainage swales; and
transporting and disposing and/or treatment of the
residual carbon and filtration waste offsite. The
estimated present worth cost for this remedial action
is $407,620 for initial implementation and $1,377,600
for full implementation of the contingent remedy,
which includes an annual O&M cost of $575,105 for
30 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
The chemical-specific ground water clean-up goal is
based on the SDWA MCLs for PCBs of 0.5 ug/1.
However, because of the technical impracticability of
using a treatment system to remove PCBs from
ground water, a waiver of SDWA MCLs is required
for ground water located directly beneath and in
proximity to the former operational area.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS:
Deed and ground water use restrictions, zoning
controls, and water supply well permitting
prohibitions will be implemented to prevent exposure
of human health and the environment to PCB-
contaminated ground water.

ALSCO ANACONDA, OH
September 30, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 4.8-acre Alsco Anaconda site is located in
Gnadenhutten, Tuscarawas County, Ohio, within the
50- and 100-year floodplains of the Tuscarawas River.
It consists of four source areas which contained F019
waste (wastewater treatment sludge) generated by the
adjacent aluminum products manufacturing facility.
Land use in the general area of the site is mixed
industrial, recreational, and residential. Several
municipal, industrial, and residential wells are located
within a 1.5 mile radius of the site; however,
contaminated site ground water flows towards and
into the Tuscarawas River where it discharges at
concentrations below any regulatory levels. Site
ground water is not used as draining water.
Aluminum products have been produced at
neighboring manufacturing facility since 1945 when
it was incorporated as Alsco, Inc. From 1965 through
1978, contamination at the Alsco Anaconda site
occurred when wastewater and wastewater treatment
sludge (F019) from the aluminum plant were disposed
of in an unlined settling basin (which consisted of two
impoundments) and a sludge pit. The F019 waste
contained hazardous constituents such as cyanide and
chromium. As a result of overflow from the settling
basin and plant wastewater treatment discharge,
sludge also became located in a wooded area between
the settling basin and the river. The total volume of
sludge and contaminated soil excavated from the
source areas to date is approximately 45,000 tons. A
1989 ROD addressed the Source Material Operable
Unit, which involved the excavation and offsite
treatment and disposal of the contaminated sludge and
soil, incineration of a small amount of material
containing high levels of PCBs, and backfilling and
revegetating excavated areas of the site. Most of this
work has been completed during 1992. This ROD
addresses the contaminated ground water and
sediment which constitute the second operable unit at
the site. The primary contaminants of concern
affecting the ground water include organics such as
cyanide, fluoride, PCBs; and bis(2-ethylhexyl)
phthalate; and metals, including chromium and lead.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION;
The selected remedial action for this site includes
natural flushing and attenuation of contaminants from
the contaminated aquifer, and allowing ground water
to discharge onsite to the Tuscarawas River; installing
onsite ground water monitoring wells; installing and
sampling background wells; sampling Tuscarawas
River sediment and benthic organisms; and
implementing institutional controls including deed
restrictions to prevent installation of drinking water
wells onsite until remedial action levels for ground
water have been achieved. The estimated present
worth cost for this remedial action is $504,600, which
includes a present worth O&M cost of $455,400.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS;
Chemical-specific ground water clean-up levels
include the following, which are SDWA MCLs or
proposed MCLs; chromium 0.1 mg/1; cyanide 0.2
mg/1; fluoride 4 mg/1; and bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate
0.004 mg/1. Lead levels will meet an action level of
0.015 mg/1. Clean-up below background levels will
not be required.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS;
Institutional controls, including deed restrictions, will
be implemented to prevent installation of drinking
water wells within the site boundaries until remedial
action levels for ground water have been achieved.

AMERICAN CHEMICAL SERVICES, IN
September 30, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION;
The 36-acre American Chemical Services (ACS) site
is a chemical manufacturing facility in Griffith,
Indiana, which was formerly involved in solvent
recovery. Land use in the area is predominantly
residential and industrial with a wetlands area located
north of the Chesapeake and Ohio railway on the west
of the site. Nine upper aquifer wells and 16 lower
aquifer wells are located within 1/2 mile of the site,
with area residents using most of the lower aquifer
wells for drinking water. From the late 1960's to
early 1970's, ACS manufactured barium naphtherate,
brominated vegetable oil, lacquers and paints, liquid
soldering fluid, and polyethylene solutions in
polybutene. Two onsite incinerators burned still
bottoms, nonreclaimable materials generated from the
site, and offsite wastes; however, in the 1970's, the
incinerators were dismantled, the shells were cut up
and scrapped, and the burners and blowers remain
onsite. From 1970 to 1975, batch manufacturing
expanded, and additives, lubricants, detergents, and
soldering flux were manufactured. In 1980, a 31-acre
part of the property to the west of the offsite
containment area was sold to the City of Griffith to
expand the City's municipal landfill. Solvent
recovery operations continued until 1990 when ACS
lost interim status under RCRA regulations because of
failure to obtain required insurance policies. Three
identified disposal areas on the ACS property are the
Onsite Containment Area, where approximately
400 drums containing sludge and semi-solids of
unknown types were reportedly disposed of; the Still
Bottoms, Treatment Lagoon #1, and adjacent areas,
which received still bottoms from the solvent recovery
process, including a pond and lagoon that were taken
out of service in 1972, drained, and filled with an
estimated 3,200 drums containing sludge materials;
and the Offsite Containment Area and Kapica/Pazmey
property, which was used as a waste disposal area and
received wastes that included onsite incinerator ash,
general refuse, a tank truck containing solidified paint,
and an estimated 20,000 to 30,000 drums that were
reportedly punctured prior to disposal. Disposal
practices in the Offsite Containment Area ceased in
1975. This ROD addresses a final remedy for the
buried drums, as well as waste, contaminated soil,
debris, and ground water. The primary contaminants
of concern affecting the soil, debris, and ground water
are VOCs, including benzene, TCE, toluene, and
xylenes; other organics, including PCBs, PAHs, and
phenols; and metals, including arsenic, chromium, and
lead.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
excavation and offsite incineration of approximately
400 intact buried drums, decontaminating and
disposing of miscellaneous debris offsite; treating
contaminated soil using in-situ vapor extraction;
conducting an in-situ vapor extraction pilot study for
Onsite Area buried waste; excavating and treating
buried waste or PCB-contaminated soil onsite using
low temperature thermal treatment, with vapor
emission control during excavation, and possible
immobilization of inorganics after treatment;
depositing the treated residuals that meet health-based
levels onsite and covering the area with a soil cover;
pumping and onsite treatment of contaminated ground
water along with wash water from the
decontamination processes and condensate from the
soil treatment processes using a method to be
determined during the RD phase, with onsite
discharge of the treated water to surface water and
wetlands; continuing to evaluate and monitor
wetlands, with mitigation of affected wetlands if
necessary; controlling and monitoring air emissions
from excavation and treatment processes; conducting
long-term ground water monitoring; and
implementing, to the extent possible, institutional
controls including deed restrictions, and site access
restrictions such as fencing. The estimated present
worth cost for this remedial action ranges from
$37,800,000 to $46,800,000, which includes an annual
O&M cost of $17,670,000 for 30 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Chemical-specific soil clean-up goals are based on
risk-based levels and include benzene 1.0 mg/kg;
toluene 167-5,000 mg/kg; xylenes 867-26,000 mg/kg;
PCBs 10 mg/kg (with 10-inch soil cover); chromium
47-1,400 mg/kg; and lead 500 mg/kg. The lead
clean-up level for soil is based on the Interim

BOFORS NOBEL (AMENDMENT), Ml
July 22, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 85-acre Bofors Nobel site contains an active
specialty chemical production plant in Egelston
Township, Muskegon County, Michigan. Site
features include an unused landfill, an active ground
water pumping and treatment system, and
10 abandoned sludge lagoons. Onsite wetlands lie
within the floodplain of Big Black Creek, which runs
through the southern portion of the site. The site
overlies a lacustrine aquifer, a potential drinking
water source, which has been contaminated as a result
of site activities. From 1960 to 1976, the plant
produced alcohol-based detergents, saccharin,
pesticides and dye intermediates, discharging sludge,
wastewater, and waste liquids into the 10 onsite
lagoons. Subsequent state investigations identified
eight of the onsite lagoons as potential sources of
ground water contamination. In 1976, the state
restricted wastewater discharge from the site, and a
ground water pump and treatment system was
installed to pretreat waste prior to discharge to the
POTW and to treat contaminated ground water in the
lacustrine aquifer. This ROD amends a 1990 ROD
written by the state, which consisted of onsite
incineration and onsite landfilling of lagoon area soil,
construction of RCRA-type secure landfill cells to
hold non-incinerated material and ash from the
incinerated sludge, and construction of an onsite
ground water treatment facility with extraction and
onsite treatment of contaminated ground water. Since
that time, an EPA predesign site investigation was
conducted as part of the remedial design which
revealed that a larger volume of contaminated
material was present at the site than was originally
believed, and that there would be inconsistent
treatment of contaminated material with the same
level of risk. Additionally, the cost and logistics
involved in incineration were greater than originally
believed, and the large increase in volume would also
significantly lessen the effective reduction in risk
achieved by incineration. A subsequent final ROD
will address other contaminated soil and establish
clean-up criteria for ground water. This ROD
amendment replaces incineration as the treatment
technology for soil and sludge. The primary
contaminants of concern affecting the soil and sludge
are semi-VOCs including benzidine and
dichlorobenzidine.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION;
The selected amended remedial action for this site
includes excavation and onsite disposal of
approximately 767,000 cubic yards of contaminated
sludge and soil in onsite RCRA-type secure landfill
cells, constructed as part of the original remedial
action; expanding and upgrading the unused landfill
adjacent to the lagoon area to meet the RCRA
standards; storing lesser contaminated material in the
unused landfill; installing extraction wells
downgradient of the unused landfill as a tertiary
leachate containment system; and monitoring the
landfill and existing leachate collection system. This
ROD amendment does not address any issue
associated with ground water treatment. The
estimated present worth cost for this amended
remedial action is $45,498,216, which includes an
annual O&M cost of $89,030 for 3 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS;
EPA has determined that landfilling of contaminated
soil and sludge without treatment provides the
equivalent level of protection to human health and the
environment from site-related risks as that provided
by the remedy in the 1990 ROD. Ground water
clean-up criteria will be addressed in a subsequent
final ROD.

BUTTERWORTH #2 LANDFILL, Ml
September 29, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION;
The ISO-acre Butterworth #2 Landfill is a municipal
landfill in Grand Rapids, Kent County, Michigan.
Land use in the area is predominantly residential and
industrial. The site, which lies within the 100-year
floodplain of the Grand River, contains wetland
drainage areas with emergent aquatic communities.
Prior to 1967, the area to the east of the stormwater
out-fall was used as a municipal landfill (Butterworth
#1). This portion of the site was operated as an open
landfill where daily cover of refuse was not provided.
After the enactment of Michigan Act 87 in 1965,
Butterworth #1 was closed, and Butterworth #2 and
#3 were opened. Several high-voltage power
transmission lines pass through the landfill, and
landfilling was not allowed in the areas below the
power lines; however, it was discovered that the area
was allegedly used to dispose of liquid wastes, such
as solvents and paint sludge. Records indicate that
from 1967 to 1971, approximately 3,000 to 4,000
cubic yards of waste per day were received at the
landfill. In 1988, a surface soil/test pit assay
identified PCBs at levels of 800 mg/kg and chromium
at levels of 43,000 mg/kg. In 1990, a removal action
was initiated to address this contamination, which
resulted in 1,100 tons of material being removed from
the site. This ROD addresses a final remedy for the
landfill via capping and establishing ACLs for site-
specific contaminants of concern in ground water.
The primary contaminants of concern affecting the
soil are VOCs, including benzene, TCE, and xylenes;
other organics, including PCBs and pesticides; and
metals, including arsenic, chromium, and lead.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
removing and disposing of exposed drums containing
hazardous materials at an offsite RCRA facility;
upgrading the landfill cover to include a clay cap, and
gas venting and treatment systems to meet state
standards; revegetating the area; installing additional
monitoring wells in the upper and lower aquifers, and
implementing a long-term monitoring program for
ground water, surface water, sediment, and biota;
establishing ACLs for site ground water based on the
current level of contamination; mitigating affected
wetlands; implementing institutional controls
including deed and ground water use restrictions. The
estimated present worth cost for this remedial action
is $15,230,000, which includes an annual O&M cost
of $110,000 for 30 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Chemical-specific ground water clean-up goals were
not established in this ROD because current
contamination levels will be determined through
sampling of compliance monitoring wells for eight
consecutive quarters over a 2-year period. The
indicator parameters to be analyzed quarterly will
include all chemicals established as chemicals of
concern. After the initial 2-year period of quarterly
sampling, ground water shall be monitored for the
next 3 years on a quarterly basis; then, analysis will
be made for the primary contaminants of concern.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS:
Institutional controls in the form of deed and ground
water use restrictions will be implemented to control
future development of the landfill area, and to
prohibit the installation of ground water drinking
water wells outside the point of compliance (the
landfill boundary).

CANNELTON INDUSTRIES, Ml
September 30, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION;
The 75-acre Cannelton Industries site is a former
tannery facility located in the Upper Peninsula of
Michigan, in Sault Sainte Marie, Chippewa County.
Land use in the area is predominantly residential and
light industrial, with 400 single-family residences and
an elementary school located within 1/2 mile of the
site. Nearby residents and the school are connected
to the City's municipal water system, the source of
which is the Saint Marys River intake, 1 mile
upstream of the Cannelton site. The Saint Marys
River, which is used both as a drinking water source
and for recreational purposes, is adjacent to the lower
area of the site. Part of the site lies within the 100-
year floodplain of the river, and several wetlands
areas surround the site. Additionally, the site overlies
two aquifers that are hydraulically connected. From
1900 to 1958, Northwestern Leather Company
operated a tannery facility onsite. The plant had no
sewer system , and three drains discharged
approximately 250,000 gallons per day of chemical
waste to the Saint Marys River and adjacent wetlands.
Discharge wastes from the tannery included metals,
cyanide, sulfide, calcium carbonate, salts,
formaldehydes, thinners, acids, and alcohols. The
primary discharge area covers 4 acres along the river
to the north of the former plant site. Of this,
approximately 1 acre ("the barren zone") contains
multi-colored soil and waste residues, has little
vegetation, and has had reportedly spontaneous fires
occur in the past. A second area along the river at
the west end of the site was used as a dump site for
barrels and "general" waste from the tannery. In
1958, the tannery was destroyed by a fire; since then,
the property has remained unoccupied. EPA's
removal program has been involved at the site on
three different occasions. In 1988, they responded to
recurring fires and excavated five trenches in the
barren zone area. In 1989 and 1991, shoreline
stabilization systems were developed around the site
to prevent waste materials from eroding into the river
a fence currently exists around the majority of the
site. This ROD addresses a final remedy for onsite
contaminated soil, sediment, and debris and will
mitigate impacts to surface water and ground water
through the containment of source materials. The
primary contaminants of concern affecting the soil,
sediment, and debris are VOCs, including TCE and
xylenes; other organics, including PAHs, pesticides,
phenols, and PCBs; metals, including arsenic,
chromium, and lead; and inorganics.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
excavating, dredging, and dewatering debris, waste,
soil, and sediment that exceed the clean-up criteria;
placing these media in an onsite solid waste landfill,
and closing the landfill in accordance with RCRA
subtitle D, or more stringent state standards; filling in
onsite excavated areas with clean soil to stabilize the
shoreline; collecting ground water from the
dewatering/construction activities and treating the
water, if needed, prior to offsite discharge to POTW,
or onsite discharge to surface water; conducting
additional ecological studies; monitoring ground water
and surface water; and implementing institutional
controls to control land use, and potentially, deed
restrictions to control ground water use. The
estimated present worth cost for this remedial action
is $19,700,000, which includes an annual O&M cost
of $458,000 for years 0-1; $449,000 for years 2-3;
$579,000 for year 4; and $303,000 for years 5-30.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Chemical-specific soil, sediment, and debris
excavation standards are based on state direct human
contact (DHC) standards and include cadmium
100 mg/kg (DHC); lead 400 mg/kg (DHC); arsenic
12.8 mg/kg (background); and carcinogenic PAHs
0.33 mg/kg (MDL). A chemical-specific excavation
goal for chromium was established using back
calculations based on a 106 cancer risk level for
hexavalent chromium and an HI of 1 for trivalent
chromium, resulting in a clean-up standard of
5,300 mg/kg for trivalent chromium and 54 mg/kg for
hexavalent chromium.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS:
Institutional controls in the form of land use
restrictions will be implemented at the site. If it is
found that health-based drinking water standards are
not met after removal of source materials, deed
restrictions will be sought for ground water beneath
the site so that no drinking water wells will be
installed.

CENTRAL ILLINOIS PUBLIC SERVICE, IL
September 30, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 1-acre Central Illinois Public Service (CIPS) site
is a former manufactured gas plant in Taylorville,
Christian County, Illinois. Land use in the area is
predominantly residential, with Manners Park, a
multi-use recreational facility, located adjacent to the
site. Seaman Estate pond, located south of the site, is
used for fishing and swimming. Ground water
beneath the site is no longer used as a drinking water
source, and residences have been connected to a
municipal water supply. The CIPS/Taylorville plant,
constructed in 1892, was operated by CIPS from 1912
until 1932. The plant produced a low-quality gas
from coal, which was used for lighting and heating.
Coal tar, produced as a by-product, was typically
disposed of offsite, sold, or given away to be used for
various purposes. After higher quality natural gas
became available in the area, the plant was closed.
Onsite contamination by coal tar was discovered in
1985 during site construction. As a result of state
investigations, an immediate removal action (IRA)
was performed by CIPS in 1987 to remove all buried
tanks, contaminated soil, and sediment at the site; to
provide an alternative water supply to affected
residences; and to implement institutional controls.
This ROD addresses a final remedy for the remaining
principal threat posed by ground water contamination
at the site, and also documents the prior 1987 removal
action. The primary contaminants of concern
affecting the soil, sediment, debris, and ground water
at the site are VOCs, including benzene, toluene, and
xylenes; and other organics, including PAHs and
phenols.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
documenting the previously implemented source
control measures which included removal and offsite
disposal of the structures associated with the original
gas plant; excavation and offsite disposal of
approximately 9,000 cubic yards of visibly
contaminated soil down to the ground water table
level and excavation and offsite disposal of
3,000 cubic yards of soil and sediment from the
drainageway section leading to Seaman Estate pond;
backfilling excavated areas with clean soil from
offsite; plugging and abandoning private drinking
water wells; and connecting affected residents to a
public water supply. The selected remedial actions to
be implemented now include extracting and
neutralizing contaminated ground water prior to onsite
treatment in a liquid phase carbon adsorption column,
with onsite discharge of the treated water to the
drainageway downgradient of Seaman Estate pond;
transporting contaminated carbon offsite to a facility
for regeneration or incineration; removing precipitated
solids from the treatment process, and testing them
for hazardous waste characteristics, prior to
appropriate disposal; conducting long-term ground
water and surface water monitoring; and
implementing erosion controls, institutional controls,
including deed and land use restrictions, and site
access restrictions, including fencing. The estimated
present worth cost for this remedial action is
$9,346,034, which includes an annual O&M cost of
$401,400 for 30 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Chemical-specific ground water clean-up standards,
which are based on state and federal drinking water
criteria, include benzene 0.005 mg/1; toluene
1 mg/1; ethylbenzene 0.7 mg/1; xylenes 10 mg/1;
anthracene 2.1 mg/1; benzo(a)pyrene 0.00023 mg/1;
and 2-methylphenol 0.35 mg/1. In addition to meeting
the individual ground water objectives indicated
certain toxicity equations as defined in the ROD must
be satisfied to protect against liver tumors and liver,
kidney, and blood toxicity.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS:
Institutional controls will be implemented in the form
of land use and deed restrictions to further protect the
public health and environment.

CITY DISPOSAL SANITARY LANDFILL, Wl
September 28, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 38-acre City Disposal Sanitary Landfill site is an
inactive landfill located in Dane County, Wisconsin.
The landfilled portion of the site, which occupies
approximately 24 acres, contains an estimated
700,000 cubic yards of waste. Land use in the area
is predominantly agricultural with minor wooded
areas. The site is bordered to the east by Badfish
Creek. All residents in the vicinity use ground water
from private drinking water wells; however, no
contamination has been detected in the wells. From
1966 to 1977, City Disposal Corporation, and later
Acme Services, Inc., used the site for disposal of
household, construction, debris, and industrial wastes.
Industrial wastes included solvents from the plastic
fabrication industry, mixtures of lubrication oil and
water, and paint wastes. During the period of
operation, the landfill was subdivided into 12 cells, of
which cells 1 and 12 were used for initial disposal
until 1975. Cells 2, 3, 4, and 6 were filled or
partially filled from 1974 until closure in 1977. Cell
5 and cells 7 to 11 were never developed. After
closure of the site, both City Disposal Corporation
and Acme Services, Inc., were acquired by Waste
Management of Wisconsin, Inc. (WMWI). Records
indicated that cells 6 and 12 were used to dispose of
liquid industrial waste, which was subsequently mixed
with refuse. Because of the mobility and toxicity of
the industrial waste, cells 6 and 12 are considered to
be the principal threats of contamination at the site.
This ROD addresses the final remedy for
contaminated soil, debris, and ground water. The
primary contaminants of concern affecting the soil,
debris, and ground water are VOCs, including
benzene, TCE, toluene, and xylenes; other organics,
including phenols; metals, including arsenic,
chromium, and lead; and inorganics.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION;
The selected remedial action for this site includes
installing a landfill gas control system to control air
emissions; treating contaminated soil and debris in
cells 6 and 12 using an in-situ vapor extraction
(ISVE) system with an air intrusion cut-off wall to
remove and treat VOCs; treating the extracted vapors
by flaring; installing a hazardous waste landfill cover,
Design C, over cells 6 and 12, and a solid waste
landfill cover, Design B, over the rest of the landfill;
extracting ground water, and conducting treatability
studies to determine the best treatment; pretreating
ground water onsite using precipitation to remove
metals, followed by treatment using chemical
oxidation or another comparable technology, with
onsite discharge to Badfish Creek; monitoring ground
water and residential wells; and implementing deed,
land and ground water use restrictions. The estimated
present worth cost for this remedial action is
$14,851,387, which includes an annual O&M cost of
$90,978 for years 0-5 and $21,258 for years 6-25 for
source control; and $645,859 for years 0-20 and
$114,487 for years 20-40 for ground water.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Chemical-specific ground water clean-up goals are
based on Preventative Action Limits (PALs)
established in NR 140 of the Wisconsin
Administrative Code and include benzene 0.067 ug/1;
2-butanone (PAL or MCL not established); 1,1
dichloroethane 85 ug/1; methylene chloride 15 ug/1;
toluene 68.6 ug/1; vinyl chloride 0.0015 ug/1; and
xylenes 124 ug/1. Air emissions from the gas control
and ISVE systems will meet the CAA requirements.
RCRA standards will apply to the construction of the
landfill caps.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS:
Institutional controls, including deed, land, and ground
water use restrictions, will be implemented to limit
the use of the landfill and landfill property.

CLARE WATER SUPPLY, Ml
September 16, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION;
The Clare Water Supply site is a municipal well field
in the City of Clare, Clare County, Michigan. Land
use in the area is predominantly commercial,
industrial, and residential with wetlands neighboring
the site. In addition, a drainage ditch runs though an
industrial area directly northwest of the site across the
well field, discharges into the wetlands, and recharges
the underlying aquifer. An estimated 3,300 residents
of Clare use the municipal water supply as their
drinking water supply. In 1981, state investigations
of the municipal wells showed VOC contamination in
the ground water. In 1982, soil samples taken during
the installation of monitoring wells showed soil
contamination from seven industrial facilities
bordering the well field and attributed contamination
of the shallow perched aquifer to the leaching of
contaminants from these areas. A 1990 interim action
ROD for the site provided for air stripping to remove
VOCs from the city's water supply. The air strippers
were installed and began operating in 1991. This
ROD addresses the contaminated soil, sediment, and
ground water as a final remedial action for the site.
The primary contaminants of concern affecting the
soil, sediment, and ground water are VOCs, including
benzene, PCE, TCE, and xylenes.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
dewatering and treating 54,800 cubic yards of
contaminated soil and sediment, including the soil
under buildings, using in-situ vapor extraction (ISVE)
to remove VOCs; treating air emissions from the
ISVE process using granular activated carbon;
returning spent carbon units to the supplier for offsite
regeneration; possibly enhancing the effectiveness of
the remedy with limited excavation of hot spots,
where SVE may not be practicable, temporarily
capping treated areas, or adding nutrients, based on
the results of pre-design studies; extracting and
treating contaminated ground water onsite using
UV/chemical oxidation, with reinjection of the treated
ground water into the aquifer; treating water from the
dewatering process using carbon adsorption prior to
discharge; monitoring ground water; and
implementing institutional controls, including deed
and ground water use restrictions. The estimated
present worth cost for this remedial action is
$11,754,247, which includes an average annual O&M
cost of $431,183 for 30 years.

COLUMBUS OLD MUNICIPAL LANDFILL, IN
March 31, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 19-acre Old Municipal Landfill site is located
near the City of Columbus in Bartholomew County,
Indiana. The site, located in the 100-year floodplain
of the East Fork of the White River, is bounded by
farmland, state roads, and an inactive gravel quarry
pond. Current land use in the vicinity of the site
includes an abandoned shooting range, concrete
mixing operation, and the City of Columbus POTW,
From 1938 to the 1960's, the site was operated as a
municipal landfill accumulating an estimated 500,000
cubic yards of fill material. After the landfill reached
a maximum of 20 feet, operations ceased and the
landfill was closed by placing two to three feet of
dredged river sediments over the entire area.
Deposited materials were mainly municipal and
household wastes, although wastes from industrial
sources were reportedly disposed of at the landfill.
Limited dumping by unauthorized parties may also
have occurred. No records of site operations were
kept. The waste material was dumped directly on the
ground surface and was exposed to the elements.
Open burning of waste material occurred regularly.
Annual spring flooding caused the waste material to
become submerged periodically. Eventually, the
landfill began to function as a berm between the
floodplain and the adjacent farmland. In 1981,
Cummins Engine Company notified EPA of waste
materials, including solvents, acids, lubricants, cutting
fluids, and metals, that were generated and reportedly
disposed of at the landfill. In 1990, the PRPs, under
direct guidance of the state and EPA, conducted an
investigation to assess the potential impacts of the
waste material deposited in the landfill on soil,
ground water, surface water, and river sediments in
the vicinity of the site. Based upon findings of the
remedial investigation and evaluation of current site
risks, EPA concluded that the site currently poses no
immediate or long-term risks to human health and the
environment. This conclusion is based on current site
conditions with the assumption that these conditions
will not change.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site is no further
action, which includes ground water monitoring and
a five-year review of site conditions to evaluate the
protectiveness of the remedy. In the event that the
Indiana Department of Transportation and the City of
Columbus proceed with construction of the proposed
roadway across the site, EPA will require the
implementation of a contingency remedy, which
includes implementing a landfill cover maintenance
program; developing a ground water recovery system
implementation plan; installing a minimum of two
additional ground water monitoring wells; installing
fencing with appropriate warning signs; implementing
a ground water monitoring program; and
implementing institutional controls, including deed
restrictions on land and ground water use. There are
no costs associated with this no action remedy.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Not applicable.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS:
Institutional controls including deed restrictions will
be implemented on land and ground water use.

ELECTROVOICE, Ml
June 23, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION;
The Electrovoice (EV) site is an active manufacturing
facility for audio equipment in Buchanan, Michigan.
Land use in the area is predominantly residential.
McCoy Creek, the nearest surface water body, is
located approximately 2,000 feet north of the facility.
All residents are connected to the city water supply
and city wells are located 4,000 feet west of the
property. Electrovoice has been in operation at its
present location since 1946. Current activities at the
facility include painting, electroplating, assembly, die
casting, and machining. The site contains a dry well
area, where disposal of paint wastes occurred between
1964 to 1973; a fuel tank area, which stored no.
6 fuel oil from 1946 to 1960; and a lagoon area,
where disposal of electroplating wastewaters occurred
from 1952 to 1962. In 1979, the state was notified of
a release of plating waste into one of the lagoons,
which prompted an inspection of the site. That same
year, Electrovoice hired a contractor to remediate the
two lagoons and install ground water monitoring wells
onsite. In 1980, the north lagoon and its contents
were removed, and the south lagoon was backfilled.
However, no contaminated materials were removed
from the south lagoon. Ground water monitoring
conducted in 1980 revealed significant concentrations
of VOCs and metals. The dry well area soils are the
principal onsite threat because they are the source of
the ground water contamination. This ROD addresses
remediation of onsite ground water and soil as a final
remedial action. A future ROD will address all
offsite ground water contamination, which extends
from the EV property boundary about one-half mile
north to McCoy Creek. The primary contaminants of
concern affecting the soil, sludge, and onsite ground
water at the site are VOCs, including benzene, PCE,
TCE, toluene, and xylenes; other organics, including
PAHs; metals, including arsenic, chromium, and lead;
and inorganics.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
treating contaminated soil in the dry well area onsite
using vapor extraction; excavating the 2,100 cubic
yards of remaining sludge, with offsite solidification
and landfilling; collecting and treating onsite
contaminated ground water using either granular or
powdered activated carbon, air stripping, chemical
oxidation/reduction or photolysis/oxidation, with
discharge of the treated water offsite to a POTW; and
monitoring off-property ground water. If, following
these actions, the dry well soil does not meet
treatment standards, further remedial action consistent
with RCRA closure will be evaluated, which include
installing a hazardous waste cap over the lagoon area
soil; conducting an investigation of the potential
existence of a lower aquifer in the area of the former
dry well area; monitoring on and offsite ground water;
and implementing institutional controls including deed
restrictions for the property and surrounding
properties to prohibit future installation of drinking
water wells. The estimated present worth cost for this
remedial action is $4,100,000, which includes an
annual O&M cost of $330,000 for 2-5 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Chemical-specific soil clean-up goals are based on

GRAND TRAVERSE OVERALL SUPPLY, Ml
February 3, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 3.9-acre Grand Traverse Overall Supply (GTOS)
site is an active commercial laundering facility in
Greilickville, Leelanau County, Michigan. Land use
in the area is residential, with an elementary school
directly east of the site. The site overlies both an
unconfined aquifer and a semi-confined aquifer.
Surface water in the area includes Cedar Creek, which
is dammed and discharges to the unconfined aquifer
located upstream of the dam, and ground water
discharges into the creek downstream of the dam.
From 1953 to 1977, the GTOS facility discharged
laundry and process wastes from dry cleaning
operations onsite to seepage lagoons and a dry-well.
After 1977 laundry and process wastes were diverted
to the sanitary sewer system. From 1968 to 1978,
cooling water used in onsite dry cleaning operations
was discharged to Cedar Creek. In 1978, the state
detected VOCs, including PCE, TCE, and 1,2 DCE,
in the water supply of the adjacent elementary school
and condemned the well. Additional well sampling
by the state determined that, as a result of disposal
operations, the GTOS site was the likely source of the
contaminants. From 1978 to 1980, the state required
GTOS to conduct removal actions, which included
replacing the contaminated drinking water wells and
excavating the onsite dry well and adjacent
contaminated soil, followed by offsite disposal of
excavated materials; filling three of the four seepage
lagoons with gravel, followed by paving; backfilling
the remaining lagoon and revegetating the area. In
1978, dry cleaning operations were discontinued, but
the GTOS site remains active and continues to
discharge wastes into the sanitary sewer system. This
ROD addresses the potential risks posed by onsite
ground water. As a result of previous removal
actions, organic compounds present in low levels in
soil, and organic and inorganic compounds present in
ground water no longer pose an unacceptable risk to
human health or the environment; therefore, there are
no contaminants of concern affecting this site.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site is the no
action; however, ground water monitoring for
inorganics will continue for 1 year. EPA has
determined that conditions at the site due to
contamination by organic compounds pose no current
or potential threat to human health or the
environment. There are no costs associated with this
no action remedy.

H. BROWN COMPANY, Ml
September 30, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The H. Brown Company, Inc., site is a former landfill
and battery reclamation facility in Walker, Kent
County, Michigan. Land use in the area is
predominantly recreational and industrial, with a
wetland area located approximately at the northern
half of a marshy area within the current eastern
boundary of the site. In addition, part of the site lies
within the 500-year floodplain of the Grand River.
Before 1961, the site was an uncontrolled dump that
received unknown types and quantities of waste.
From 1961 to 1982, the owner reclaimed lead from
wet-cell batteries. From 1961 and 1978, the owner
reclaimed lead from wet-cell batteries and poured
battery acid directly on the ground surface. The total
volume of battery acid disposed of is estimated to be
between 170,000 and 460,000 gallons. From 1978
until the owner ceased active reclamation activities in
1981 or 1982, battery acid was not drained to the
ground; instead, it was routed to a stainless-steel catch
pan and tank. In 1970, the state inspected the site
and noticed acidic waters draining into a culvert that
discharged into the Grand River. In 1978, the state
sampled wastewater at the facility and found elevated
levels of lead, copper, and nickel. EPA became
involved with the site in the early 1980's and
sampling of surface water from the culvert leading to
the Grand River indicated elevated levels of
chromium and lead. In 1989, the Agency for Toxic
Substances and Disease Registry and the state
investigated the site and determined that the site
posed a risk to onsite workers and the community. In
response to an EPA-issued unilateral administrative
order to 10 PRPs in April 1991, the owner's widow
and the H. Brown Company erected a fence and
performed limited air monitoring around the site.
This ROD addresses the final remedy for the site.
The primary contaminants of concern affecting the
soil, sediment, debris (battery casings), ground water,
surface water, and air are VOCs, including benzene,
toluene, and xylenes; other organics, including PAHs,
PCBs, pesticides, and phenols; and metals, including
arsenic, chromium, and lead.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
demolishing onsite buildings to allow cleanup of
contaminated soil beneath structures, and disposing of
the debris in an onsite or offsite landfill; onsite
decontamination of buildings not requiring demolition;
consolidating contaminated surface soil onsite;
treating an estimated 180,000 cubic yards of soil,
sediments, and battery chips onsite using in-situ
solidification/stabilization; constructing a containment
wall around the treated soil, sediment, and debris, and
covering the solidified material using a multi-layer
cap; extracting contaminated ground water from the
shallow aquifer beneath the site; treating collected
ground water and surface water onsite using aeration,
filtration, carbon adsorption, and ion exchange, prior
to onsite discharge to the Grand River; conducting
additional studies to further define the extent of
contamination in the intermediate and bedrock
aquifers; monitoring ground water and surface water;
and implementing institutional controls including deed
and ground water use restrictions, and site access
restrictions such as fencing. The estimated present
worth cost for this remedial action is $15,000,000,
which includes an annual O&M cost of $220,000 for
2-3 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS;
Chemical-specific soil clean-up goals are based on
site risks, state ARARs, or background levels and
include PCBs 1 mg/kg (state); arsenic 6.6 mg/kg
(background); lead 5 mg/kg (state). Chemical-specific
ground water clean-up goals include benzene 1 ug/1
(state); arsenic 17.9 ug/1 (state); and lead 1,423 ug/1
(background).
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS:
Institutional controls, including deed restrictions and
ground water use restrictions, will be implemented to
prevent exposure to site contaminants, prevent cap
erosion, and provide security for the remedial action
equipment.

HAGEN FARM, Wl
September 30, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The Hagen Farm site is a former waste disposal
facility approximately 1 mile east of the City of
Stoughton, Dane County, Wisconsin. The site is
defined as the area within the property boundary and
the contaminant plume. The property is
approximately 28 acres in size, and within the
property boundary is a 10-acre area that was used for
waste disposal. The site is located in a rural area that
is largely dominated by sand and gravel mining and
agricultural activities. Eleven private wells are
located within 1,000 to 4,000 feet of the site. In
addition, a wetland area is located adjacent to and just
south of the site. Prior to the 1950's, the site was
operated as a sand and gravel pit. The gravel pit was
then used for disposal of waste materials from the late
1950's to the mid-1960's. Waste materials were
disposed of in three onsite subareas designated A, B,
and C. Waste materials included municipal and
industrial wastes, such as solvents and other various
organic materials. From 1980 to 1986, state
investigations revealed organic compounds in nearby
private water supply wells. A 1990 ROD addressed
contaminated soil in the three disposal areas as OU1
and provided for excavation of soil in subareas B and
C with consolidation in disposal area A; construction
of a landfill cover at disposal area A; and
implementation of a soil vapor extraction system in
sub-waste soil under disposal area A. This ROD
provides a final remedy for the ground water control
on the property and off the property, as OU2. The
ROD defines on-property ground water as
contaminated ground water in the immediate vicinity
of the main disposal area and off-property ground
water at any location within the plume other than in
the area defined as on-property ground water. The
primary contaminants of concern affecting the ground
water are VOCs, including 1,1-dichloroethene,
ethylbenzene, benzene, tetrahydrofuran, toluene, vinyl
chloride, and xylenes; and metals, including arsenic
and lead.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
extracting and pretreating on- and off-property ground
water to remove metals and inorganic solids; treating
on-property ground water using an activated
biological sludge treatment system; treating off-
property ground water using a treatment technology to
be determined during the remedial design stage;
discharging the treated ground water onsite to the
wetlands, surface water, or possibly reinjecting the
treated water into the aquifer to promote in situ
biodegradation, based on the results of a bench-scale
study; treating sludge generated from the treatment
process, prior to disposal in a RCRA landfill; treating
off-gases emissions from the treatment process using
carbon adsorption, with regeneration or treatment of
the spent carbon; monitoring private wells located
around the site; implementing institutional controls
including deed restrictions, and access restrictions.
The estimated present worth cost for this remedial
action (depending on the treatment selected for the
off-property ground water) ranges from $13,612,000
to $24,163,000, which includes an annual O&M cost
ranging from $550,000 to $1,062,000 for the first
year.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Chemical-specific ground water clean-up goals are
based on the State of Wisconsin Preventive Action
Limits (PALs) and include benzene 0.067 ug/1; 1,1-
dichloroethene 0.024 ug/1; ethylbenzene 272 ug/1;
tetrahydrofuran 10 ugA; toluene 68.6 ug/1; vinyl
chloride 0.0015 ug/1; xylenes 124 ug/1; arsenic 5 ug/1;

KOHLER LANDFILL, Wl
March 30, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 40-acre Kohler Company Landfill site is an
operating landfill at the Kohler manufacturing facility
in Kohler, Sheboygan County, Wisconsin. Land use
in the area is a mixture of business and residential,
and an 800-acre wildlife reserve owned by Kohler
Company surrounds the site. Wetlands are located
along the landfill's edge. The site lies within, but
rises above, the 100-year floodplain of the Sheboygan
River, which is located east and south of the plant.
The estimated 57,000 people who reside within
3 miles of the site use the Sheboygan municipal
system from Lake Michigan as their drinking water
supply. Two residences located 1/4 mile from the site
share a private well as their drinking water supply.
From the early 1950's to the present, the Kohler
Company has used the landfill as the primary location
for disposing of manufacturing and foundry wastes
generated at the Kohler manufacturing facilities. The
majority of the wastes disposed of in the landfill is
non-RCRA hazardous waste, including sand, cores,
molds, clarifier wastes, slag, clay, and pottery, and
dust collector wastes. Between 1950 and the mid-
1970's, several waste disposal pits were constructed
in the landfill for disposal of hydraulic oils, solvents,
paint wastes, enamel powder, lint from brass
polishing, and chrome-plating sludge. By 1975, these
pits were closed and covered with nonhazardous fill.
Beginning in 1975, all RCRA hazardous liquids were
disposed of offsite. Disposal of solid RCRA
hazardous wastes ceased prior to 1980, however solid
non-hazardous wastes have continued to be disposed
of in the landfill. In 1983, EPA detected
contaminated surface water runoff at the landfill.
Studies have revealed that ground water is
contaminated due to leaching of chemical constituents
from the landfill. This ROD addresses source
contamination through containment of the waste mass
as the first of two remedial actions planned for this
site. A future ROD will address the contaminated
ground water. The primary contaminants of concern
affecting the soil and leachate are VOCs, including
benzene, toluene, TCE, and xylenes; other organics,
including PAHs and phenols; and metals, including
arsenic, chromium, and lead.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
closing the landfill according to state regulations;
constructing a multi-layer cap over the fill material to
reduce infiltration into the waste mass; installing a
perimeter leachate collection drain and treating
leachate onsite using air stripping, prior to onsite
discharge to the Sheboygan River; and implementing
institutional controls including deed restrictions and
site access restrictions. The estimated total present
worth cost for this remedial action is $4,700,000,
which includes an annual O&M cost of $1,000,000.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Clean-up goals will be met in accordance with state
landfill closure codes, and discharge codes.
Chemical-specific ground water clean-up goals will be
addressed in a future ROD.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS:
Institutional controls including deed and site access
restrictions will be implemented onsite to reduce site
usage, maintain cap integrity, and prevent exposure to
the affected ground water.

LA GRANDE SANITARY LANDFILL, MN
September 30, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 80-acre La Grande Sanitary Landfill site is
located in west-central Douglas County, Minnesota,
5 miles west of the town of Alexandria and 3 miles
south of the town of Garfield. The main fill area
occupies 6 acres of a small, north-trending gully,
which is surrounded by forest, steep uncultivated hills,
and low lying wetlands. A sand and gravel water
table exists under a portion of the site, and residents
downgradient are using the aquifer for drinking water.
From 1974 to 1984, the landfill was in operation and
accepted mixed municipal solid waste and
nonhazardous industrial wastes. In 1982, a state
ground water investigation revealed the presence of
low level organic compounds. The landfill was
closed in 1984, and a final cover was installed in
accordance with state regulations. Sampling during
the RI revealed that only one contaminant,
manganese, was found in high levels in the Old Shop
Well onsite, which required action to reduce the
potential risk of exposure. This ROD provides a final
remedy for the site and addresses the onsite landfill
and ground water. The primary contaminants of
concern affecting the soil, debris, and ground water
are organics and metals.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
converting a gas monitoring well to a gas vent to
control the accumulation of explosive gases; sealing
off and abandoning the onsite Shop Well to ensure
that it will not be used as a potable water source;
stabilizing the west slope of the landfill, and placing
a soil cover over the exposed landfill waste on the
northwest corner; sloping and reconstructing the
borrow pit area adjacent to the west slope to ensure
long-term integrity of the existing cover system;
conducting long-term monitoring of ground water and
combustible gas; and implementing institutional
controls, including deed and ground water use
restrictions, and restricting site access. The estimated
present worth cost for this remedial action is
$501,000, which includes an annual O&M cost of
$22,000 for 30 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Chemical-specific ground water clean-up goals were
not specified. Because of the low level risks posed
by the site, treatment of onsite media is not
considered necessary.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS:
Institutional controls in the form of ground water use
restrictions and possibly deed restrictions will be
implemented.

METAL WORKING SHOP, Ml
June 30, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 2.7-acre Metal Working Shop (MWS) site is a
manufacturing facility in Lake Ann, Benzie County,
Michigan. Land use in the area includes residential,
recreational, agricultural, and timberlands. The site is
adjacent to three lakes: Lake View to the north,
Bryan Lake to the east, and Lake Ann to the south.
The surrounding residents use private well systems for
drinking water. A variety of metal finishing and tool
and die operations have been conducted at the site
during the past 26 years. It was reported that from
1975 to 1977, water from two site operation rinse
tanks was disposed of on the ground surface onsite.
Subsequently, from 1983 to present, Lake Ann
Manufacturing used the site for assembling
mechanical shaft seals for pumps and compressors.
As a result of an 1984 investigation, EPA identified
three suspected areas of disposal that included the
alleged disposal area, the alternate disposal area, and
the septic system. Although samples were not
collected, historical information was gathered during
the site investigation. A 1987 investigation conducted
by an independent contractor included collecting
several soil samples and installing three ground water
monitoring wells. This investigation revealed that
there was no soil or ground water contamination;
however, it did not prove the absence of potentially
present contamination based on historical dumping.
This ROD provides a final action, and no additional
OUs or additional separate actions are contemplated.
No site-organic contamination was identified during
the RI and inorganic constituents approximated
background levels; therefore, there are no
contaminants of concern affecting the site.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes no
further action because no significant levels of
contaminants exist onsite, and no additional action is
necessary to protect human health or the environment.
There are no costs associated with this no action
remedy.

MIDCO I (AMENDMENT), IN
April 13, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 4-acre MIDCO I site is an abandoned, industrial
waste recycling, storage, and disposal facility in Gary,
Indiana. The surrounding land use is mixed
industrial, commercial, and residential. The nearest
residential area is about 1/4-mile west of the site.
The Calumet Aquifer underlies the site and provides
drinking water to wells within 1 mile of the site.
From 1973 to 1979, two different owners operated the
facility and stockpiled thousands of drums of bulk
liquid and chemical waste. In 1976, a fire at the site
destroyed an estimated 14,000 waste drums. In 1981,
EPA installed a fence around the site. In 1982, EPA
removed all surface wastes, including thousands of
drums and an underground storage tank; excavated
and disposed of contaminated surface soil; and placed
a clay cover over much of the site. This ROD
amends a 1989 ROD that addressed the remaining
contaminated soil and ground water by treatment of
an estimated 12,400 cubic yards of soil using soil
vapor extraction and solidification/stabilization,
followed by onsite disposal; excavation and
solidification/stabilization of an estimated 1,200 cubic
yards of contaminated sediments, followed by onsite
disposal; and covering the site in accordance with
RCRA landfill closure requirements; ground water
pumping and injection into a shallow or deep aquifer.
The amended remedy reduces the estimated amount
of soil to be treated, as a result of new information on
arsenic data and amended soil CALs; further defines
the site cover requirements; and further defines the
requirements of deep well injection of contaminated
ground water. The primary contaminants of concern
affecting the subsurface soil, sediment, and ground
water are VOCs, including TCE, toluene, and xylenes;
metals, including chromium and lead; and inorganics.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION;
The amended remedial action for this site includes
reducing the amount of soil to be treated to a
minimum of 5,200 cubic yards because of the
amendment to soil CALs and the determination that
arsenic may not be present above background levels
at the site; treating the contaminated soil onsite using
with soil vapor extraction, followed by in-situ
solidification/stabilization; excavating and treating an
estimated 500 cubic yards of contaminated sediment
from the surrounding wetlands onsite using
solidification/stabilization; pumping and treatment of
contaminated ground water using air stripping and
carbon absorption, followed by onsite deep well
injection; constructing a final RCRA cover over the
entire site; implementing institutional controls
including deed restrictions, and site access
restrictions; conducting long-term monitoring and
providing for a contingency remedy in the event that
ground water clean-up action levels for the Calumet
Aquifer are technically impracticable to attain, which
includes low-level pumping to contain contaminated
ground water and additional institutional controls.
The ground water treatment or underground injection
portions of this remedy may be combined with
remedial actions for the nearby Midco II site. The
estimated present worth cost for this amended
remedial action is $10,000,000, which includes an
annual O&M cost of $460,000.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Ground water clean-up standards for the Calumet
Aquifer are not changed from the 1989 ROD.
Treatment requirements prior to DWI are further
defined compared to the 1989 ROD and include, at a
minimum, treatment to MACs, which are required for
RCRA delisting. Specific MACs include methylene
chloride 31.5 ug/1; trichloroethene 31.5 ug/1; toluene
6,300 ug/1; chromium 630 ug/1; nickel 630 ug/1; and
lead 950 ug/1. Treatment below MACs will be
required, if necessary, to protect underground sources
of drinking water. Soil treatment action levels are
increased from IxlO'6 and HI=1 in the 1989 ROD to
5xl04 and HI=5 in this amendment.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS:
Institutional controls including access and deed
restrictions will be implemented to protect the
integrity of the site cover and operational aspects of
the remedy.

MIDCO II (AMENDMENT), IN
April 13, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 7-acre MIDCO II site is an abandoned chemical
waste storage and disposal facility in Gary, Indiana.
Land use in the surrounding area is predominantly
industrial. The underlying aquifer, which is used
primarily for non-drinking purposes, is highly
susceptible to contamination from surface sources.
From 1976 to 1978, this site was used for treatment,
storage, and disposal of chemical and bulk liquid
wastes. Onsite pits were used for disposal, from
which wastes percolated into and contaminated the
ground water. An overflow pipe from a filter bed
disposal pit discharged directly into a ditch draining
directly into the nearby Grand Calumet River.
Additionally, an estimated 10 waste storage tanks
were deteriorated and leaking. In 1977, a fire at the
site destroyed an estimated 50,000 to 60,000 waste
drums. In 1981, EPA installed a fence around the
site. From 1984 to 1989, EPA removed all surface
wastes, including thousands of drums and numerous
tanks of chemical waste; excavated and disposed
offsite subsurface soils and wastes from the sludge
pits and the filter bed; and extended the site fence.
This ROD amends a 1989 ROD that addressed the
remaining contaminated soil, pit wastes, and ground
water by treatment of an estimated 35,000 cubic yards
of soil wastes using solidification/stabilization
followed by onsite disposal; excavation and
solidification/stabilization of 500 cubic yards of
contaminated sediments followed by onsite disposal;
covering the site in accordance with RCRA landfill
closure requirements; ground water pumping and
injection into a shallow or deep aquifer with or
without treatment, depending on treatment studies;
and implementing deed and access restrictions. The
amended remedy reduces the estimated amount of soil
to be treated, as a result of amended soil CALs and a
determination that arsenic may not be present above
background levels. The primary contaminants of
concern affecting the subsurface soil, sediment, and
ground water are VOCs, including toluene, TCE, and
xylenes; metals, including chromium and lead; and
inorganics.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The amended remedial action for this site includes
reducing the amount of soil to be treated from an
estimated 35,000 cubic yards to an estimated
12,200 cubic yards; excavating and treating the
contaminated soil onsite using soil vapor extraction,
followed by in-situ solidification/ stabilization;
excavating an estimated 500 cubic yards of
contaminated sediment from a ditch adjacent to the
northeast boundary of the site, with onsite
solidification/stabilization; pumping and onsite
treatment of contaminated ground water using air
stripping and carbon adsorption, or possibly
precipitation, with deep well injection of the treated
water; constructing a final vegetated RCRA cover
over the entire site; implementing institutional
controls including deed restrictions, and site access
restrictions; conducting long-term monitoring and
providing for a contingency remedy if clean-up action
levels for the Calumet Aquifer are technically
impracticable to attain which includes low-level
pumping to contain contaminated ground water and
additional institutional controls. The ground water
treatment or underground injection portions of this
remedy may be combined with remedial actions for
the adjacent Midco I site. The estimated present
worth cost for this amended remedial action is
$13,000,000, which includes an annual O&M cost of
$660,000.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Ground water clean-up standards are not changed
from the 1989 ROD. Treatment required prior to
OU1 are further defined compared to the 1989 ROD,
and include at a minimum treatment to MACs, which
are required for RCRA delisting. Specific MACs
include methylene chloride 31.5 ug/1; trichloroethene
31.5 ug/1; toluene 6,300 ug/1; chromium 630 ug/1;
nickel 630 ug/1; and lead 99.5 ug/1. Treatment below
the MACs will be required if necessary to protect
underground sources of drinking water. Soil
treatment action levels are increased from IxlO"6 and
HI=1 in the 1989 ROD to 5xl04 and HI=5 in this
ROD.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS:
Institutional controls including deed and access
restrictions will be implemented to protect the
integrity of the site cover and operational aspects of
the remedy.

MUSKEGO SANITARY LANDFILL, Wl
June 12, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 56-acre Muskego Sanitary Landfill site is located
in the City of Muskego, Waukesha County,
Wisconsin. Land use in the area is predominantly
residential and agricultural, with wetland areas located
in the nearby vicinity. All of the site lies within the
100-year floodplain. The upper glacial drift aquifer,
one of three principal sources of ground water in
Waukesha County, is used for human consumption.
From the 1950's to 1981, municipal waste, waste oils,
paint products, and other wastes were disposed of at
the site. The site is separated into three disposal
areas: the Old Fill Area (38 acres); the Southeast Fill
Area (16 acres); and the Non-Contiguous Fill Area
(4.2 acres), composed of a drum trench, north and
south refuse trenches, and an L-shaped fill area, all
containing waste similar to the Old Fill Area. As a
result of deteriorating water quality at onsite ground
water monitoring wells, Waste Management of
Wisconsin Inc. (WMWI) and the state conducted
numerous investigations that revealed elevated levels
of contaminants in the ground water. In 1985,
WMWI installed a methane extraction system to
alleviate the gas migration along the western portion
of the Old Fill Area. In 1986, public water was
supplied to the site and private wells in the area.
Two separate areas at the site were discovered to
contain buried drums and contaminated soil. The first
area was located east of the Non-Contiguous Fill
Area. The second area, known as the drum trench,
was discovered in a portion of the Non-Contiguous
Fill Area and contained 989 drums and 2,500 cubic
yards of contaminated soil. In 1991, the drums and
soil from both areas were disposed of offsite at
appropriate hazardous waste disposal facilities.
Liquid wastes and drums were also sent offsite for
incineration. This interim ROD addresses the control
and remediation of the contamination sources,
including landfill waste, contaminated soils, leachate,
and landfill gas. Future RODs will address the
control and remediation of the contamination in the
ground water aquifer as a separate operable unit. The
primary contaminants of concern affecting the soil
and sediment are VOCs, including benzene, TCE,
toluene, and xylenes; and other organics, including
PAHs, PCBs, pesticides, and phenols.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
installing a cap over the Old and Southeast Fill Areas;
adding a landfill leachate control system at the Old
Fill Area and improving the existing leachate control
system at the Southeast Fill Area; discharging the
collected leachate onsite to the sewer if pretreatment
requirements are met, or treating leachate along with
contaminated ground water as part of the subsequent
OU; managing sludge residuals from the treatment
processes as a hazardous waste, if it exhibits the
characteristic of toxicity; capping of the Non-
Contiguous Fill Area; treating soil within the drum
trench and north and south refuse areas using in-situ
vapor extraction to remove VOCs; treating the
extracted gas using either activated carbon or thermal
destruction with catalytic oxidation, or another
treatment method prior to emission to the atmosphere;
utilizing an active gas control system, in conjunction
with the leachate collection system at both the Old
and Southeast Fill Areas to destroy extracted gases
with a ground flare; and conducting semi-annual
ground water monitoring and implementing
institutional controls including deed restrictions and
site access restrictions including fencing. The
estimated present net worth cost for this remedial
action is $9,914,000, which includes an annual O&M
cost of $309,500 for years 0-5, and $134,200 for
years 6-30.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
A performance based clean-up standard will be
applied to the area covered by the ISVE system in the
Non-Contiguous Fill Area. The clean-up standard
will be based on residual soil gas concentrations that
are low enough to assure compliance with ground
water clean-up standards, which will be specified in
the subsequent ROD for the contaminated ground
water.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS:
Institutional controls including deed restrictions will
be implemented to prevent access, excavation, and
disturbance of the cap and installation of the wells.

NEW BRIGHTON/ARDEN HILLS, MN
September 30, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 25-square-mile New Brighton/Arden Hills site
includes the 4-square-mile Twin Cities Army
Ammunition Plant (TCAAP) in Ramsey County,
Minnesota. Land use in the area is predominantly
residential with commercial and industrial sectors.
The estimated 100,000 residences, located within
2 miles of the site, along with adjacent townships use
various glacial and bedrock aquifers as their drinking
water supply. The TCAAP facility, a small arms
manufacturing facility, is currently operated by the
Federal Cartridge Company (FCC) and used by two
manufacturing lessees, Alliant Techsystems and 3M
Corporation. Since 1941, the plant has manufactured,
stored, and tested small arms ammunition and related
materials. From 1941 to 1981, waste materials, which
included VOCs, heavy metals, corrosive materials,
and explosives, were disposed of at 14 source areas
located within TCAAP. In addition, breaks and leaks
in sewer lines, where other disposal occurred, may
have contributed to onsite and offsite ground water
and soil contamination. In 1981, state investigations
of municipal and private drinking water wells in and
around TCAAP identified contamination of ground
water, onsite soil, sediment, and surface water by
VOCs, other organics, and metals. Past removal
actions and seven previous RODs, signed from 1983
to 1989, addressed interim remedial actions conducted
by the Army and Alliant Techsystems and provided
for the establishment of alternate drinking water
supplies for surrounding communities, onsite in-situ
soil vapor extraction; installing ground water pump
and treat systems to remediate ground water onsite;
boundary ground water recovery systems to prevent
further migration of VOCs; thermal treatment of
PCB-contaminated soil, and the cleaning, repairing,
and testing of contaminated sewer lines. This ROD
addresses remediation of the south plume of offsite
contaminated ground water, as OU3. Future RODs
will address the offsite north plume of contaminated
ground water, as OU1, and the onsite soil, sediment,
surface water, and ground water, as OU2. The
primary contaminants of concern affecting the ground
water are VOCs, including benzene, TCE, and
xylenes; other organics including phenols; and metals,
including chromium, lead.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
pumping and offsite treatment of contaminated ground
water at the leading edge of the south plume using
precipitation and filtration to remove inorganic solids
and a pressurized granular activated carbon system to
remove VOCs; discharging the treated ground water
offsite to the potable water supply of the City of New
Brighton; disposing of filtration residuals and spent
carbon offsite; implementing institutional controls
including ground water use restrictions; and
monitoring ground water. The estimated present
worth cost for this remedial action is $4,851,000,
which includes an annual O&M cost of $276,000 for
30 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Chemical-specific ground water clean-up standards,
which are based on state standards and SDWA MCLs
and MCLGs, include 1,1-dichloroethane 70 ug/1;
(state); 1,1-dichloroethene 6 ug/1 (state); cis-1,2-

PEERLESS PLATING, Ml
September 21, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION;
The 1-acre Peerless Plating site is a former
electroplating facility in Muskegon Township,
Michigan, and is located northwest of Little Black
Creek and 1 mile north of Mona Lake. Land use in
the area is mixed use with urban, light industrial, and
residential. Lake Michigan supplies drinking water
for residential and commercial businesses within a 3-
mile radius of the site. From 1937 to 1983, onsite
electroplating operations and processes included
copper, nickel, chromium, cadmium, and zinc plating,
in addition to burnishing, polishing, pickling, oiling,
passivating, stress relieving, and dichromate dipping.
The processes required the use of toxic, reactive,
corrosive and flammable chemicals. Over the years,
Peerless Plating discharged process waste with pH
extremes and high heavy metal concentrations into
seepage lagoons at the rear of the facility. In the
1970s, the state directed Peerless Plating to monitor
waste discharge daily and to install a treatment system
to meet reduced effluent limitations. The site violated
the requirements and was charged by the state. In
1980, the seepage lagoon sludge was removed and
disposed of, and the excavated lagoon area was
backfilled and capped. In 1983, subsequent
investigations concluded that treatment facilities had
not been upgraded adequately and discharge
limitations were still being exceeded for chromium,
cyanide, cadmium, and zinc. As a result, Peerless
Plating closed in June 1983, and the owners
abandoned the plant. In 1983, after the state and
local government detected hydrocyanic acid gas
within the facility atmosphere, EPA carried out an
Emergency Response Action onsite, which involved
removing 37,000 gallons of hazardous liquids,
draining the lagoons, excavating lagoon soil and
sludge, sealing sewer lines, and neutralizing onsite the
cyanides and nitric acid. In 1984, EPA investigations
revealed that ground water was contaminated with
VOCs and chloroform. Additionally, surface water
and sediment in Little Black Creek were contaminated
with heavy metals. In March 1990, EPA conducted
a second removal action to remove and dispose of
liquids and sludge contained in above-ground tanks
onsite, encapsulate an asbestos oven, and install a
fence around the facility. This ROD addresses the
onsite contaminated soil and ground water as a final
remedy. The primary contaminants of concern
affecting the soil, debris, and ground water are VOCs,
including benzene, TCE, toluene, and xylenes; metals,
including arsenic, chromium, and lead; and
inorganics.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for the site includes
demolishing onsite buildings to facilitate soil sampling
beneath the buildings, and disposing of the associated
debris off site; treating approximately 6500 cubic yards
of contaminated soil onsite using in-situ vapor
extraction, followed by onsite stabilization of
excavated soil; testing the stabilized soil, prior to
offsite disposal at a RCRA facility; controlling air
emissions using carbon adsorption; pumping and
onsite treatment of ground water using air stripping,
followed by precipitation, pH adjustment, and
chemical coagulation, with discharge of the treated
ground water onsite to surface water; controlling air
emissions using a carbon filter; treating the residual
sludge to meet LDR standards, prior to offsite
disposal at the RCRA Subtitle C facility; regenerating
the spent carbon at an offsite thermal treatment
facility; and monitoring ground water. The estimated
present worth cost for this remedial action is
$7,971,000, which includes an annual O&M cost of
$323,000.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS;
Chemical-specific ground water clean-up goals are
based on SDWA MCLs and State standards and
include benzene 1 ug/1; arsenic 0.2 ug/1; cadmium

REILLY TAR & CHEMICAL (INDIANAPOLIS PLANT), IN
June 30, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 120-acre Reilly Tar & Chemical (Indianapolis
Plant) site is a former coal tar refinery and creosote
wood treatment plant located in Indianapolis, Indiana.
The site is divided into the 40-acre Oak Park property
and the 80-acre Maywood property. The Oak Park
property contains the majority of the operating
facilities, including above-ground storage tanks,
distillation towers, and aboveground and underground
utilities. The Maywood property contains operating
facilities on its northern end. This property was
formerly the site of chemical process and wood
preserving activities and currently contains four waste
disposal areas. The area surrounding the site is mixed
residential, industrial, and commercial. The site lies
within the White River drainage basin. From 1921
until 1972, coal tar refinery and creosote wood
treatment plants operated onsite. Beginning in 1941,
several chemical plants were constructed and operated
on the Oak Park property. Environmental problems
at the site were found to be related to the improper
use and disposal of creosoting process wastes and
substances used in manufacturing chemicals. In 1955,
alpha picoline, a chemical manufactured onsite, was
identified in nearby residential wells, and in 1964,
three contaminants from the site were detected in
offsite ground water samples and onsite surface water
samples. In 1975, state investigations identified
several onsite problems believed to be contributing to
ground water contamination with organic chemicals.
In 1980, state investigations revealed various organic
chemicals in soil and subsequently in 1987, 60,000
gallons of waste fuel were accidentally spilled on the
Oak Park property. The spilled fuel oil was
recovered, and some of the contaminated soil was
excavated. This ROD provides an interim remedy for
OU1 and addresses offsite migration of contaminated
ground water. Several additional operable units are
planned to address contamination of onsite source and
onsite and offsite ground water impacted by the site.
The primary contaminants of concern affecting the
ground water are VOCs, including benzene and
toluene; other organics, including PAHs; metals,
including arsenic, chromium, and lead; and
inorganics.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
either extracting contaminated ground water
downgradient of the site and treating the water using
biological treatment, followed by filtration and
activated carbon adsorption, with offsite discharge of
5mgd to a POTW, with the remainder reinjected to
the aquifer; or combining ground water extraction
from up-gradient wells, with treatment using
precipitation/clarification, followed by activated
carbon, with reinjection to the aquifer in conjunction
with extracting ground water from interior of the site,
and treating this by precipitation/clarification,
followed by air stripping, with offsite discharge to a
POTW; monitoring ground water and implementing
engineering controls. The final selection of options
and specific design parameters will be determined
during the remedial design, based on the results of
treatability tests to determine the optimum design and
operating requirements. The estimated present worth
cost for this remedial action is $15,000,000, which
includes an annual O&M cost of $1,000,000 for
30 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS;
Interim ground water clean-up levels are based on the
more stringent of a 10"6 cumulative lifetime cancer
risk, or MCLs for carcinogens; and MCLGs, MCLs,
or a HI = 1 for noncarcinogens. Chemical-specific
ground water goals include benzene 5 ug/1 (MCL);
toluene 1,000 ug/1 (MCL); xylenes 10,000 ug/1
(MCL); pyridine and pyridine derivatives 35 ug/1
(HI); arsenic 50 ug/1 (MCL); chromium (MCL); lead
5 ug/1 (MCL); and ammonia 30 ug/1 (MCL). Treated
ground water discharged to the POTW must meet
separate clean-up criteria under CWA.

REILLY TAR & CHEMICAL (ST. LOUIS PARK), MN
September 30, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 80-acre Reilly Tar and Chemical (St. Louis Park)
site is a former coal tar distillation and wood
preserving plant in St. Louis Park, Minnesota.
Surrounding land use is predominantly residential.
The site overlies a complex system of six aquifers,
including the St. Peter Aquifer, that provide drinking
water to area residences. The St. Peter Aquifer
contains one municipal well, which is used during
periods of peak demand; however, the majority of the
drinking water in St. Louis Park is obtained from
deeper bedrock aquifers. From 1917 to 1972, coal tar
distillation process wastewater was discharged to
onsite surface water; as a result, small wastewater
spills occurred into onsite soil. In 1972, the site was
purchased by the City in response to complaints about
wastewater contamination and the plant was
dismantled. State investigations from 1978 to 1981
identified site-related ground water contamination.
Four previous RODs in 1984, 1986, 1990, and 1992
addressed remediation of specific aquifers, the filling
of a small onsite wetland, and offsite soil
contamination. This ROD addresses a final remedy
for the contaminated Northern Area of the Drift
Aquifer, which is a surficial aquifer that is not used
as a drinking water source. This aquifer does provide
recharge water for the bedrock aquifers and is
hydraulically and geologically connected to the
Platteville and St. Peter Aquifers. Future RODs will
address the remaining contamination problems
presented by the site. The primary contaminants of
concern affecting the ground water are organics,
including PAHs.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION;
The selected remedial action for this site includes
intercepting and containing contaminated ground
water using gradient control wells; discharging the
water offsite for treatment at the local POTW; and
continued monitoring the discharged water to
determine if within 3 to 5 years, this could be
discharged directly to a storm sewer and then to
surface water. At that time, if necessary, an onsite or
offsite treatment facility will be built to treat the
water using activated carbon, prior to discharge, with
regeneration and reuse of any spent carbon. The
estimated capital cost for this remedial action is
$370,000, per extraction well, and if the offsite
treatment facility is deemed necessary, additional
capital costs are estimated at $300,000, with an
estimated annual O&M cost of $45,000 per extraction
well for 30 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Chemical-specific ground water clean-up goals are
based on site-specific Drinking Water Criteria. These
levels, developed by state and EPA experts, include
benzo(a)pyrene and dibenzo(a,h)anthracene 5.6 ng/1;
carcinogenic PAHs 28 ng/I; and other PAHs 15 ng/1.

SAVANNA ARMY DEPOT, IL
March 31, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The Savanna Army Depot activity (SVADA) site, an
active military installation, is located 70 miles west of
Rockford, Illinois, in a remote and sparsely populated
area. Land use in the area is predominantly
agricultural and recreational, with a wetlands area
located onsite. Part of the site lies within the 50-year
floodplain of the Mississippi River. From 1943 to
1969, ammunition washout operations were conducted
in the northwestern portion of the facility. As a
result, wastewater containing explosive compounds
was produced, discharged to a drain trough, and piped
to four unlined lagoons, referred to as the "lower
lagoons," which drained into a ditch and on to the
Mississippi River. In 1961, two new unlined lagoons,
or "upper lagoons," began receiving the wastewater,
thus replacing the lower lagoons. Wastes that flowed
into the upper lagoons drained into the soil below
them. The trinitrotoluene (TNT) washout facility has
not been operational since 1969, and the lagoon areas
are currently not in use. Since 1979, the SVADA
lagoon areas have been the subject of several U.S.
Army investigations, which revealed significant
contamination of the soil with high concentrations of
the explosive TNT and other organic compounds.
The soil is also a continued source of ground water
contamination. This ROD addresses a final remedy
for the Washout Lagoon Area Soil at SVADA as
OU1. A future ROD will address the ground water in
the vicinity of the lagoons. The primary contaminants
of concern affecting the soil, debris, and surface water
are VOCs and organics, including TNT; nitrobenzene
(NB); 2,4-dinitrotoluene (DNT); 2-amino-4,6-DNT;
1,3,5-trinitrobenzene (TNB); and hexahydro-1,3,5-
trinitro-l,3,5-triazine (RDX), a pesticide.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
excavating an estimated 18,230 cubic yards of
contaminated soil from the upper and lower lagoons,
drain troughs, and piping; treating the soil onsite
using a rotary kiln incineration thermal treatment
process, followed by onsite disposal of the treated soil
and flyash in the upper lagoon area; reprocessing any
treated soil, which fails the hazardous waste
characteristic tests; treating soil that does not meet
TCLP standards using stabilization, prior to disposal;
decanting standing water in the lagoons, with
treatment, if necessary; restoring any affected
wetlands; and conducting perimeter air monitoring.
The estimated present worth cost for this remedial
action is $10,251,000, which includes an annual O&M
cost of $11,400 for 2 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Chemical-specific soil clean-up goals are based on
health-based criteria and include TNT 21 mg/kg; 2,4-
DNT 9.3 mg/kg; 2-A-4,6-DNT 1,191 mg/kg; 1,3,5-
TNB 3.7 mg/kg; RDX 5.75 mg/kg; and NB
37.2 mg/kg. Treated soil will be subjected to TCLP
and testing for other hazardous waste characteristics.
Residual soil left in the ground will have no
concentrations of explosive compounds that are
greater than health-based criteria.

SKINNER LANDFILL, OH
September 30, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 78-acre Skinner Landfill site is located in West
Chester, Butler County, Ohio. Land use in the
immediate vicinity includes business and residential
uses to the west and crop farming to the north.
Several geologic units that underlie the site are used
as aquifers by local residents. The site was used in
the past for the mining of sand and gravel, and was
operated for the landfilling of a wide variety of
materials from approximately 1934 through 1990.
Materials deposited onsite include demolition debris,
household refuse, and a wide variety of chemical
wastes. A low area of the site, referred to as the
waste lagoon, was used for disposal of paint and ink
wastes, creosote, pesticides, and other chemicals. In
1976, in response to a fire onsite and reports of
observations of a black, oily liquid in a waste lagoon
onsite, EPA investigated the landfill. The owner
asserted that nerve gas, mustard gas, incendiary
bombs, and other explosive devices were buried at the
landfill in the lagoon area, but subsequently retracted
this claim. The U.S. Army and EPA dug several
trenches into the buried waste lagoon and found black
ooze and numerous barrels of waste; no munitions of
any sort were found. In 1982, EPA conducted an
investigation that showed that the ground water
southeast of the buried waste lagoon was
contaminated with VOCs. RI studies conducted
between 1986 and 1989 investigated the site ground
water, surface water, soil, and sediment. In 1990, the
state closed the site to further landfilling activities.
EPA has organized this project into two operable
units. This ROD is an interim action to protect
human health by limiting site access to prevent
ingestion of and direct contact with contaminated soil,
and to protect the potentially affected users of ground
water on and near the site. A future ROD will
provide source control measures and the remaining
onsite contaminants as the final response action for
this site. The primary contaminants of concern
affecting the soil and ground water are VOCs,
including benzene; other organics, including PCBs
and pesticides; and metals, including arsenic.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected interim remedial action for this site
includes implementing site access restrictions at the
area of the site that was used for landfilling and
disposal of liquid wastes; posting warning signs;
conducting quarterly ground water monitoring; and
providing an alternative water supply to residents who
are potentially impacted by offsite migration of
contaminated ground water. The capital cost for this
remedial action is $160,000, with an annual O&M
cost is $30,000.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
No performance clean-up goals were provided for
remedial action. The subsequent ROD will address
the clean-up goals for the chemicals of concern in
soil, sediment, ground water, and surface water.

SOUTH ANDOVER (OPERABLE UNIT 1) (AMENDMENT), MN
June 9, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 50-acre South Andover site is composed of
several privately owned parcels of land near
Minneapolis in Anoka County, Minnesota. Land use
in the area is predominately commercial and
residential, and several auto salvage and repair yards
are located at, and adjacent to, the site. The site
contains part of a wetlands area with several small
recreational lakes in the vicinity. The site overlies
three shallow aquifers. A lower bedrock aquifer
supplies the surrounding community with drinking
water. Between 1954 and 1981, multiple waste
storage and disposal activities occurred on several
properties within the site boundaries. There are
several source areas where former activities included
drum storage, waste storage, and waste burning.
Solid and liquid chemical waste dumping and open pit
burning of solvents occurred during the 1960's and
1970's. Investigations showed that drum storage and
chemical waste disposal sites were partially obscured
by auto salvage operations and more than 3 million
waste tires. In 1976, citizen complaints of well
contamination prompted the state to investigate the
site and issue violations for improper storage of
chemical waste and, in 1980, for improper disposal of
industrial waste. Waste processing was discontinued
in early 1977, and waste acceptance ceased in 1978.
In 1981, the contents of approximately 700 drums
were disposed of by mixing with waste oil and using
the mixture as fuel; in 1988 and 1989, two tire fires
occurred onsite. EPA investigations have determined
contamination of soil and ground water resulting from
soil that came into contact with leaking drums,
electrical transformers, and/or salvaged automobiles.
A 1988 ROD addressed a ground water remedy that
provided extraction of the ground water from a
surficial aquifer; provided municipal water to private
well users onsite; placed restrictions on new wells
near the site; and monitored ground water. This ROD
amendment changes the 1988 ROD for ground water
based on current data from a 1990 Design
Investigation. The primary contaminants of concern
affecting the ground water are VOCs, including PCE,
TCE, and toluene; and metals, including arsenic,
chromium, and lead.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The amended remedial action for this site includes
monitoring ground water at the site; abandoning
nonessential wells; and resampling wells, if action
levels are exceeded. The remedial design
investigation showed that there is no definable plume
at the site; rather, there are random detections of
compounds below background and regulatory
standards. Therefore, EPA and the state are deleting
three of four components identified in the 1988 ROD
remedy selection. The present worth cost for this
amended remedial action is $150,000.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Action levels for ground water at the site are based on
SDWA MCLs.

SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 50-acre South Andover site is composed of
several privately owned parcels of land near
Minneapolis in Anoka County, Minnesota. Land use
in the area is predominately commercial and
residential, and several auto salvage and repair yards
are located at, or adjacent to, the site. The site
contains part of a wetlands area with several small

three aquifers, one of which supplies the surrounding
community with drinking water. Between 1954 and
1981, multiple waste storage and disposal activities
occurred on several properties within the site
boundaries. Source areas include a drum storage
area, waste storage area, and waste burning area.
During the 1960's and 1970's, solid and liquid
chemical waste dumping and open pit burning of
solvents occurred. Investigations showed that drum
storage and chemical waste disposal sites were
partially obscured by both auto salvage operations and
an estimated 3 million waste tires. In 1976, citizen
complaints of well contamination prompted the state
to investigate the site and issue violations for
improper chemical waste storage, and in 1980, for
improper disposal of industrial waste. Waste
processing was discontinued in 1977, and waste
acceptance ceased in 1978. In 1981, the contents of
approximately 700 drums were disposed of by mixing
them with waste oil and using the mixture as fuel;
then, in 1988 and 1989, two tire fires occurred onsite.
EPA investigations determined that soil and ground
water contamination had resulted from contact with
leaking drums, electrical transformers, and/or salvaged
automobiles. A 1988 ROD previously addressed the
contaminated ground water onsite as OU1. This ROD
addresses the contaminated onsite soil as OU2. The
primary contaminants of concern affecting the soil
and debris are organics, including PAHs and PCBs;
and metals, including lead.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
excavating and onsite treatment of 2,100 cubic yards
of PAH-contaminated soil using ex-situ biological
treatment; excavating and disposing of the remaining
9,300 cubic yards of PAH-, PCB-, and metal-
contaminated soil from areas 2, 3, 4, and 7 in an
offsite solid waste landfill; sampling and removing
offsite approximately 20 onsite drums; and monitoring
surface water and sediment. The estimated present
worth cost for this remedial action is $2,470,000,
which includes an O&M cost of $195,000.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Soil clean-up goals will meet AWQCs and Minnesota
surface water quality standards. Noncarcinogenic risk
will be to a HI=1. Chemical-specific goals for soil
cleanup include PAHs 2 mg/kg; PCBs 2 mg/kg;
antimony 25 mg/kg; and lead 500 mg/kg.

SPICKLER LANDFILL, Wl
June 3, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 10-acre Spickler Landfill site is an inactive
municipal and industrial landfill located in Spencer,
Marathon County, Wisconsin. The site consists of a
mercury brine pit and two fill areas called the Old
and New Fill Areas. The two fill areas are separated
by a crude oil pipeline right-of-way. The area
surrounding the site is sparsely populated and mainly
rural. Ownership of the Spickler Landfill site
changed frequently during its years of operation. In
1970, the site began operations as a municipal open
dump. The same year, the state authorized the
construction of a clay-lined sludge disposal area at the
site. No documentation exists that verifies that the pit
was clay-lined as planned. In 1971, mercury brine
muds were disposed of in this sludge disposal area,
and the sludge disposal area was closed with a clay
cap. Other industrial wastes known to have been
disposed of at the site include kalo dust, which
contained asbestos, and toluene, xylenes, methyl-ethyl
ketone, and methylene chloride. In 1972, the landfill
was licensed to accept solid wastes, including
industrial waste, with the exception of toxic and
hazardous materials. During 1973, numerous
violations were noted by the state, including failure to
perform daily cover operations and ineffective
drainage control. In 1974, the state ordered the
owners of the site to terminate operations and close
the landfill. Between 1974 and 1975, most closure
and abandonment work was completed, including
placement, grading, and seeding of the landfill cover.
A 1984 assessment revealed not only that areas of
leachate seepage occurred on both the north and south
faces of the New Fill Area, but also that the mercury
brine pit had subsided and appeared to be collecting
surface water. This ROD provides a final remedy for
the first operable unit (OU1), which consists of the
mercury brine pit, and the landfill. A future ROD
will address final remediation of ground water as
OU2. The primary contaminants of concern affecting
the soil, sludge, and leachate are VOCs, including
benzene, PCE, toluene, TCE, and xylenes; other
organics, including pesticides; metals, including
arsenic, chromium, and lead; and inorganics,
including asbestos.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
treating wastes in the mercury brine pit either by
solidification and/or stabilization, based on results of
a treatability test, and installing an impermeable cap
over the treated material; installing a solid waste cap
over the New and Old Fill areas with an active
leachate collection treatment system and a gas
collection system; discharging the treated leachate to
wetlands, surface water, or a POTW, based on the
results of TCLP testing; monitoring ground water,
leachate, and landfill gases; maintaining the landfill
caps; and implementing engineering and institutional
controls including deed restrictions. The estimated
present worth cost for this remedial action is
$4,859,000, which includes an annual O&M cost of
$113,000 for 30 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS;
Extracted leachate will be treated to appropriate
discharge levels as specified by federal and state
requirements prior to discharge to the wetlands,
surface water, or a POTW. Capping and closure of
the mercury brine pit are subject to the requirements
of RCRA, Subtitle C.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS:
Institutional controls including access and deed
restrictions will be implemented onsite to prohibit
installation of drinking water wells and prohibit
construction on the landfill itself.

TAR LAKE, Ml
September 29, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 200-acre Tar Lake site is a former manufacturing
site in Antrim County, Michigan, located 1 mile south
of Mancelona, Michigan, near the village of Antrim.
Land use in the area is industrial/residential, with
several lakes and ponds in the vicinity of the site.
From 1882 to 1945, the site was the location of iron
production by the charcoal method. In 1910, Antrim
Iron Works Company began producing charcoal in
sealed retorts from which pyroligneous liquor was
recovered. This liquor was further processed into
calcium acetate, methanol, acetone, creosote oil, and
wood tar. Wastes from these processes were
discharged into Tar Lake, a large natural surface
depression. Investigations performed by EPA and
responsible parties revealed soil and ground water
contamination with concentrations above federal and
state regulatory levels. Ground water contamination
extends 3.5 miles downgradient from the site, and Tar
Lake has a strong chemical odor. This ROD
addresses a final remedy for the soil and tar sludge,
as well as an interim remedy to limit further
contamination of ground water, as OU1. A future
ROD will address OU2 as the final remedy for the
ground water and surface water contamination. The
primary contaminants of concern affecting the soil, tar
sludge, ground water, and surface water are VOCs,
including benzene, toluene, and xylenes; and other
organics, including PAHs and phenols.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
excavating approximately 30,000 cubic yards of tar
sludge and approximately 40,000 cubic yards of
contaminated soil in and around Tar Lake, with
dewatering using extraction wells to facilitate
excavation; consolidating the excavated materials into
two adjoining RCRA containment cells to be
constructed within the contamination area; adding
solidification agents, such as bentonite and cement to
the tar sludge, and capping the cell with a RCRA
Subtitle C cap; installing a leachate collection system;
pumping to contain the contaminated ground water,
water from the dewatering process, and the ponded
water on Tar Lake, and treating these using carbon
adsorption or another technology based on the results
of a treatability study to be conducted during the pre-
design stage; injecting the treated water upgradient of
the extraction wells to perform a closed loop system;
monitoring ground water; and implementing
institutional controls, including ground water use
restrictions. The estimated present worth cost for this
remedial action is $20,100,000, which includes an
annual O&M cost of $791,800.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
All soil and sludge with an excess cancer risk level
greater than IxlO"6 will be excavated from the site.
Chemical-specific soil and sludge clean-up levels
were based on the Michigan Environmental Response
Act and health-based criteria and include 2-
methylphenol 8,000 ug/kg; benzene 0.4 ug/kg;
benzo(a)anthracene, benzo(b)fluoranthene, and
benzo(k)fluoranthene all at 100 ug/kg; phenols
6,000 ug/kg; toluene 16,000 ug/kg; and xylenes
6,000 ug/kg. Because the ground water containment
is an interim measure, ground water clean-up
standards are waived. Chemical-specific clean-up
levels will be provided in the final action for ground
water onsite.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS:
Ground water usage will be restricted within the areas
of the existing or potential contaminant plume.

TORCH LAKE (OPERABLE UNITS 1 AND 3), Ml
September 30, 1992
REGION 5
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 2,700-acre Torch Lake site is a copper milling
and smelting facility in Houghton County, Michigan.
The site includes tailings/slag piles and beaches on
Torch Lake, the west shore of Torch Lake, the
northern portion of Portage Lake, Portage Lake Canal,
Keweenaw Waterway, the North Entry to Lake
Superior, Boston Pond, and Calumet Lake in Lake
Linden, Hubbell/Tamarack City, Mason, Michigan
Smelter, Isle-Royale, Lake Superior, Grosse Point,
Quincy Smelter, Hubbell, and other areas associated
with the Keweenaw Basin. Land use in the area is
predominantly residential and recreational. Wetlands
are located in proximity of some of the tailing piles.
The lake, which was a repository of milling wastes,
served as the waterway for transportation to support
the mining industry. Over 5 million tons of native
copper were produced from the Keweenaw Peninsula,
and more than half of this was processed along the
shores of Torch Lake. Between 1868 and 1968,
approximately 200 million tons of tailings were
dumped into Torch Lake, filling at least 20 percent of
the lake's original volume. In the late 1960's, copper
milling ceased. In 1972, a discharge of
27,000 gallons of cupric ammonium carbonate
leaching liquor occurred into the north end of Torch
Lake from the storage vats at the Lake Linden
Leaching Plant. The state investigated the spill and
found no harmful effects associated with the spill;
however, discoloration of several acres of lake bottom
was noted. In the 1970's, high concentrations of
heavy metals in the lake's sediment, toxic discharges
into the lakes, and fish abnormalities prompted many
investigations into the impact of mine waste disposal.
From 1988 to 1989, EPA performed a removal action
that included removing drums and soil to an offsite
hazardous waste landfill. This ROD addresses
removal of debris, surface tailings, and slag
pile/beach, and disposal of drums on the western
shore of the site, as OU1; and remediation of slag pile
locations through the mid-Keweenaw Peninsula, as
OU3. A subsequent ROD will address areas of
potential contamination in and around Torch Lake,
including ground water, submerged tailings at the
bottom of the lake, sediment, and surface water, as
OU2. The primary contaminants of concern affecting
the soil, debris, and slag pile/beach are organics,
including PAHs; and metals, including arsenic,
chromium, and lead.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
placing a soil cover with vegetation over 442 acres of
tailings in Lake Linden, Hubbell/Tamarack City, and
Mason, and 9 acres in Hubbell; placing a soil cover
with vegetation over 229 acres of tailings in Calumet
Lake, Boston Pond, Michigan Smelter, Dollar Bay
slag pile, and Grosse Point; removing debris such as
wood, empty drums, and other garbage for offsite
disposal; and implementing institutional controls,
including deed restrictions to control the use of tailing
piles and slag piles/beach. The Isle Royale tailings
will be excluded from the area to be covered with soil
and vegetation. Twelve acres out of the
approximately 223-acres of the Isle-Royale tailings
will be developed as a sewage treatment plant; 90-
acres are designated to be developed as a residential
area; and 60-acres are currently being used as a
source material to make cement blocks. Also
excluded from the area to be covered are the area
designated by the Houghton County Road
Commission for use as source material for road
traction during the winter; the Quincy Smelter area
(based on the assumption that this area will be
developed as part of a National Historic Park); and
the North Entry, Redridge, and Freda tailings. If any
of these excluded areas has not been addressed as
planned within 5 years after RD submittal, that area
will then be subject to the requirements of this ROD.
The estimated present worth cost for this remedial
action is $6,126,000, which includes an annual O&M
cost of $109,000 for 10 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Soil clean-up levels are not established for this
remedial action.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS;
Deed restrictions will be implemented to control the
use of tailing piles and slag piles/beach so that the
tailings and/or slag will not expose human beings and
animals to contaminants or increase the potential for
runoff of contaminants into the lake. If the Quincy
Smelter area is not developed as a national park, deed
restrictions will be sought to prevent development of
residences in the slag pile area.

TRI COUNTY LANDFILL, IL
September 30, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 66-acre Tri County Landfill (TCL) site comprises
two former landfills the Tri County Landfill and the
Elgin Landfill, located near the junction of Kane,
Cook and DuPage Counties, Illinois. The two
disposal operations overlapped to the point where the
two landfills were indistinguishable. Land use in the
area is predominantly agricultural. The local residents
and businesses use private wells as their drinking
water supply. Prior to the 1940's, both landfills were
used for gravel mining operations. From 1968 to
1976, the TCL received liquid and industrial waste.
State and county inspection reports revealed that open
dumping, area filling, and dumping into the
abandoned gravel quarry had occurred at the site. In
addition, confined dumping, inadequate daily cover,
blowing litter, fires, lack of access restrictions, and
leachate flows were typical problems reported. In
1981, the landfill was closed with a final cover.
From 1961 to 1976, the Elgin landfill received brush,
commercial rubbish, industrial wastes, and incinerator
ash without a formal waste disposal method. As a
result of residents' complaints of suspected surface
and ground water contamination, the state ordered the
landfills to stop contaminating, pay penalties, and post
bonds. The landfills never fully complied. Further
investigations revealed contamination in the soil and
ground water from VOCs, SVOCs, metals, and
pesticides as well as venting of methane gas. This
ROD addresses a final remedy for the soil, sediment,
debris, ground water, surface water, and air at the
site. The primary contaminants of concern affecting
these media are VOCs, including benzene and TCE;
other organics, including PAHs, PCBs, and pesticides;
and metals, including arsenic.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
excavating and consolidating contaminated sediment
from the leachate ditch with contaminated onsite soil
and drummed drill cuttings; installing a clay cap over
these materials and regrading and revegetating the
site; installing interceptor trenches to collect
contaminated onsite ground water and leachate with
pretreatment, if necessary, prior to either onsite
discharge to surface water or offsite discharge to a
POTW, as determined during the RD; diverting
surface water from the waste areas, and collecting and
treating surface water offsite; treating landfill gases
using a series of gas extraction wells connected to a
blower/flaring facility, prior to discharge to the
atmosphere; assessing and mitigating affected
wetlands; providing for contingency measures to
address changed conditions or previously unknown
contamination problems; allowing offsite
contaminated ground water to naturally attenuate;
monitoring soil, sediment, and surface water; and
implementing institutional controls including deed,
land, and ground water use restrictions, and site
access restrictions such as fencing. The estimated
present worth cost for this remedial action is
$12,624,000, which includes an annual O&M cost of
$243,500 for 2 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
There are no chemical-specific standards established
for soil and sediment; however, risk-based levels or
local background concentrations may be utilized. The
selected remedy will reduce potential exposure to
contaminated ground water to within acceptable risks
of 1 x 104 to 1 x 106 excess cancer risk and an HI of
less than 1.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS:
Institutional controls in the form of deed restrictions
will be implemented to regulate land use and prevent
future development or installation of drinking water
wells near the site.

TWIN CITIES AF RESERVE (SAR LANDFILL), MN
March 31, 1992
REGION 5
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 2-acre Twin Cities AF Reserve (SAR Landfill)
site is a former disposal area for U.S. Air Force
(USAF) main Base refuse in Minneapolis, Hennepin
County, Minnesota. Land use in the area consists of
a Small Arms Range, Minneapolis-St. Paul
International Airport, and Fort Snelling State Park.
The site is within the 100-year flood plain of the
Minnesota River, and a wetlands associated with the
National Wildlife Refuge is located adjacent to the
site. The Small Arms Range Landfill (SARL),
acquired by the USAF in 1955, was used for disposal
of main Base refuse from 1963 to 1972. Industrial
wastes, which included paint sludge, paint filters, and
leaded aviation gasoline sludge, were buried at the
landfill. The SARL was closed in 1972. In 1982 and
1983, the state constructed a stormwater retention and
settling pond, serving Interstate 494, in the eastern
part of the landfill. The landfill overlies two aquifer
systems that receive recharge from the stormwater
retention areas. Additionally, the upper aquifer has
been shown to be connected hydraulicalJy to the
Minnesota River. In 1983, the site was identified as
a hazardous waste site, and in 1987, was placed on
the NPL list because of suspected contaminant release
to ground water. Based on preliminary investigations
VOCs, metals, and other organics were detected in the
soils, surface water, and ground water. This ROD is
the first and final action for the site and addresses
remediation of the ground water. The primary
contaminants of concern affecting the soil and ground
water did not exceed ARARs and, therefore, are not
considered a threat since access restrictions addressed
in this ROD will be implemented at the site. The
primary contaminants of concern affecting the soil
and ground water are VOCs, including 2-butanone
and TCE; and metals, including arsenic and lead.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
allowing contaminated ground water to naturally
attenuate; maintaining the site; monitoring ground
water and surface water; and implementing
institutional controls, including deed restrictions, and
site access restrictions, such as fencing. The
estimated present worth cost for this remedial action
is $737,000, which includes a present worth O&M
cost of $684,000.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
The remediation goal is to reduce the levels of
contaminants in the ground water to below MCLs
established under the SDWA and to ensure that
contaminant levels do not exceed federal or state
Water Quality Criteria for freshwater species or
potential drinking water sources. The remediation
will achieve a carcinogenic risk level within EPA's
target range for acceptable excess carcinogenic risk of
104 to 10 6. Chemical-specific ground water clean-up
goals are based on SDWA MCLs or Minnesota RAL,

CAL WEST METALS, NM
September 29, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 43.8-acre Cal West Metals site is a former
battery breaking, recycling, and secondary lead
smelting facility located one-half mile northwest of
Lemitar, Socorro County, New Mexico. Land use in
the area is predominantly agricultural and residential,
with three households located within 1,100 feet south
of the site. From 1979 to 1981, Cal West used a 12-
acre fenced portion of the site for processing
automobile batteries for lead, rubber, and plastics
recovery. Batteries were crushed onsite and
components separated using flotation and
centrifugation in a rotating separator drum. Water
was recycled and ultimately discharged to a lined
pond, and piles of crushed battery components were
stored outdoors. From 1982 to 1984, the facility was
used for research and development on methods of
lead recovery. Since 1985, the company has
conducted intermittent work onsite with the battery
waste piles to extract lead oxides, rubber, and plastics.
Current site features include two evaporation ponds,
three buildings, berms, soil and battery waste piles, a
concrete pad, and a salvage area. From 1979 to 1985,
the state conducted investigations to assess air and
ground water quality onsite. In 1985, EPA
investigations showed elevated levels of lead in soil,
sediment, and ground water. This source control
ROD addresses the principal threat of lead
contamination at the site as a final remedy. The
primary contaminants of concern affecting the battery
waste piles, soil, sediment, and debris are organics,
including PAHs; and metals, including arsenic and
lead.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
excavating, consolidating, and treating an estimated
15,000 cubic yards of contaminated battery waste
materials, soil, and sediment onsite using
stabilization/solidification; disposing of the treated
materials in the southwest corner of the fenced area
and capping the disposal area with cement and a 12-
inch soil cover; decontaminating onsite buildings and
equipment; and sampling ground water. The
estimated present worth cost for this remedial action
is $1,557,000, which includes an annual O&M cost of
$5,000 for 30 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Chemical-specific soil and sediment clean-up goals
are established on health-based levels for carcinogenic
and noncarcinogenic risks and include arsenic
0.37 mg/kg; lead 640 rag/kg; mercury 0.82 mg/kg;
and PAHs 3 mg/kg benzo(a)pyrene equivalents.
Contaminated materials with lead concentrations
exceeding 640 mg/kg will be treated to meet the
RCRA TCLP standard of 5 mg/kg leachable lead
prior to onsite disposal.

CRYSTAL CHEMICAL (AMENDMENT), TX
June 16, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 24.4-acre Crystal Chemical site consists of a 6.8-
acre abandoned herbicide manufacturing facility
(referred to as the onsite area) and 17.6 acres of
affected surrounding properties (referred to as the
offsite area) in Houston, Harris County, Texas. The
site, which lies within the 100-year floodplain of an
adjacent flood control channel, overlies a shallow
aquifer system. Surrounding land use is commercial
and industrial. From 1968 to 1981, herbicides,
including arsenic compounds, were manufactured
onsite. During that time several structures, four
evaporation ponds, and many storage tanks were
utilized in site operations, and drums of raw and
finished product were routinely stored in the open.
During transfer of raw materials from rail cars, onsite
soil was contaminated by herbicides spilled from
drums. Contamination of offsite soil and sediment
was a result of periodic flooding, which caused
arsenic-contaminated onsite wastewater to move
offsite. In 1981, the site was abandoned, and
approximately 99,000 gallons of chemical liquids in
a storage tank and 600,000 gallons of wastewater in
the evaporation ponds were left onsite. Emergency
removal actions, conducted intermittently by EPA
from 1981 to 1988, included removing chemical
liquids and wastewater, temporarily capping the site,
dismantling and decontaminating site structures,
constructing drains and fencing, and placing fill
material onsite. A 1990 ROD addressed onsite and
offsite soil and ground water. This ROD amends the
remedy for soil and replaces in-situ vitrification with
onsite disposal and capping. The ground water
remedy will not change and will be implemented as
called for in the 1990 ROD. The primary
contaminant of concern affecting the soil is the metal
arsenic.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION;
The amended remedial action for this site includes
excavating 55,000 cubic yards of contaminated offsite
soil with arsenic levels above 30 mg/kg and placing
the soil onsite; constructing a multi-layer cap over the
entire site; and implementing institutional controls,
including land use restrictions. The estimated present
worth cost for this amended remedial action is
$5,803,300, which includes an annual O&M cost of
$140,079.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS;
The cap will comply with RCRA requirements for
landfill closure. The excavation goal for arsenic in
soil is 30 mg/kg.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS;
Institutional controls, including land use restrictions,
will be implemented at the site to prevent future use.

DOUBLE EAGLE REFINERY, OK
September 28, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 12-acre Double Eagle Refinery (DER) site is a
former oil reclamation plant in Oklahoma City,
Oklahoma County, Oklahoma. Land use in the area
is predominantly mixed industrial and residential with
a wetlands onsite. The residents and industries within
1 mile of the DER site use city water from reservoirs
as then- drinking water supply. Additionally, the
North Canadian river is located one-half mile south of
DER. The Fourth Street Refinery Superfund site is
located 500 feet northeast of the DER site. The
Radio Tower Area and Parcel H Area are located to
the south and east of the site, respectively. The DER
site includes 13 steel buildings, a fire tube boiler, two
pipe heat exchangers, an undetermined number of
steel tanks, concrete cells, and five vacuum
precoat/scrapper filters. From 1929 to approximately
1970, DER used the site to recycle approximately
600,000 gallons of used oil each month into finished
lubricating oil. From approximately 1970 until 1980,
DER accepted used oil onto the site for storage only.
The recycling process included adding sulfuric acid,
settling, and filtrating with bleaching clays via a filter
press, which generated approximately 80,000 gallons
of sludge monthly. Sludge was initially sent offsite
for disposal, but later was disposed of in onsite
impoundments and a sludge lagoon. Offsite drainage
from DER occurred onto Parcel H, which includes
oily sediments in two surface ponds, and onto Radio
Tower, which contains a surficial tar matrix. EPA
investigations revealed 42,000 cubic yards of
contaminated soil, sediment, surface water, and air.
Contaminated areas included a sludge lagoon, surface
spill area, surface impoundments, and process
equipment. This ROD addresses a final remedy for
OU1, Source Control Operable Unit. A subsequent
ROD will address ground water contamination. The
primary contaminants of concern affecting the soil,
sediment, sludge, debris, and surface water are VOCs,
including benzene and PCE; other organics, including
PAHs and PCBs; metals, including arsenic and lead;
and acids.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION;
The selected remedial action for this site includes
excavating approximately 2,700 cubic yards of
contaminated materials from the two offsite areas,
Radio Tower and Parcel H, and consolidating these
onsite within the East/West lagoon along with
contaminated materials from the DER impoundment
and open areas; treating the 42,000 cubic yards of
consolidated materials onsite using neutralizing agents
for the acidic wastes and solidification/stabilization to
remove inorganics; using surface water from the
impoundments in the stabilization processes;
excavating the solidified material and transporting this
offsite for disposal in a RCRA landfill; demolishing
contaminated onsite equipment or structures, including
above-ground storage tanks, with salvage and/or
removal; disposing of any asbestos-containing
material, as needed; and monitoring ground water.
The estimated present worth cost for this remedial
action is $6,400,000. There are no O&M costs
associated with this remedial action.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Chemical-specific goals for soil, sediment, and sludge
are based on meeting a risk of 104 to 10"6 and an
HI=10, including lead 500 mg/kg; PAHs; and PCBs
25 mg/kg. All other residual materials will meet
RCRA TCLP regulatory limits prior to offsite
disposal.

FOURTH STREET ABANDONED REFINERY, OK
September 28, 1992
REGION 6
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 27-acre Fourth Street Abandoned Refinery (FSR)
site is located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Land
use in the area is mixed industrial and residential.
Four schools are located within a 1-mile radius of the
site. Portions of the FSR site have been identified as
wetlands. Since the early 1940's, used oils were
collected, stored, re-refined, and distributed as
recycled product. Another Superfund site, the Double
Eagle Refinery (DER), lies about 500 feet southwest
of the FSR site. The two adjacent sites contain very
similar waste material since both sites recycled used
oil. Contamination from FSR has contributed to
contamination in an area just south of the FSR site,
known as the "Parcel H" area. Sludge generated by
the reclamation process was disposed of in onsite
impoundments. Physical dumping also occurred in a
landfill area just west of the Parcel H area, but this
waste is not attributable to either the FSR or DER
sites. Operations ceased in the late 1960's or early
1970's. In 1989, EPA notified the owners to conduct
a removal at the site; however, the parties declined.
Later in 1989, EPA performed a removal action,
which included fencing the site and posting warning
signs. This ROD addresses both onsite and off site
sources of contamination, including soil, sediment,
sludge, debris, and surface water as the source control
operable unit. This ROD also focuses on reducing
the potential for contaminant migration to surface
water and ground water. A subsequent ROD will
address the potential migration of site contaminants
via the ground water and surface water pathways.
The primary contaminants of concern affecting the
soil, sediment, sludge, and debris are organics,
including PAHs and PCBs; metals, including arsenic
and lead; and inorganics, including asbestos.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
excavating 1,200 cubic yards of the contaminated
material from the Parcel H area and consolidating this
onsite along with other contaminated material; treating
approximately 42,000 cubic yards of the consolidated
soil, sediment, sludge, and debris onsite using
neutralization of the acidic waste and stabilization of
the lead-contaminated materials; disposing of the
treated wastes at a permitted landfill; and cleaning,
consolidating, demolishing, and salvaging and/or
removing contaminated equipment, structures, and
asbestos, as necessary. The estimated present worth
cost for this remedial action is $6,400,000. There are
no O&M costs associated with this remedial action.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Soil clean-up levels are established for consolidated
materials that will be stabilized to ensure that leaching
does not exceed the TCLP. Chemical-specific goals
for soil correspond to the TSCA clean-up level for
industrial land use, regional guidance for setting
remedial goals, and industrial land use for the FSR
site. These include lead 500 mg/kg; PAHs 30 mg/kg;
and PCBs 25 mg/kg.

GULF COAST VACUUM SERVICES (OPERABLE UNIT 1), LA
September 30, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 12.8-acre Gulf Coast Vacuum Services site is a
former vacuum truck and oil field plant in Vermilion
Parish, Louisiana. Land use in the area is
predominantly agricultural. Ten residences within
one-half mile of the site use the ground water below
the Chicot Aquifer for drinking water and irrigation.
The site is bounded to the north and west by pasture
land, and to the east and south by another Superfund
site, the D. L. Mud Superfund site, and the LeBoeuf
Canal. From 1969 to 1980, several owners used the
site as a trucking terminal to transport various metals,
including waste generated from oil exploration and
production activities. The site includes two open
waste pits—specifically, the Washout Pit and West
Pit—and two vegetated areas, known as the Former
West Pit. The Former West Pit adjoins the West Pit
to the south and was used for disposal. Other site
features include vertical storage tanks, horizontal
tanks, and three underground storage tanks. During
site operations, unpermitted disposal of primarily oil
industry-related waste occurred in the unlined pits,
ditches, and site soil. EPA investigations, which
started in 1980, led to three removal actions at the
site from 1990 to 1992. These removal actions
addressed contaminant overflow caused by critical
rainfall, from both the West Pit and Washout Pit,
provided for construction of a secondary containment
levee west of the West Pit; pumping, treatment, and
discharge of wastewater from the two pits; and
fencing the area. This ROD addresses the final
remedial action for all of the sources of contamination
as OU1. Future RODs will address the contaminated
overflow and the migration from offsite pits, as OU2.
The primary contaminants of concern affecting the
soil, sediment, pit sludge, and ground water are
VOCs, including benzene; other organics, including
PCBs and naphthalene; and metals, including arsenic
and barium.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
consolidation and onsite incineration of approximately
12,000 cubic yards of organic- and inorganic-
contaminated waste pit sludge and 7,950 cubic yards
of associated soil, 12,000 gallons of tank contents,
and 155 cubic yards of tank sludge, followed by
stabilization/solidification of the residual ash, if
necessary; stabilizing and solidifying onsite
approximately 18,900 cubic yards of site inorganic-
contaminated soil, and 600 cubic yards of surface
sediment; disposing of all of these residuals in an
onsite excavation and covering the area with a clay
cover; allowing ground water to naturally attenuate;
monitoring ground water in the upper and lower
aquifers; conducting onsite and offsite air monitoring;
treating air emissions as needed; and implementing
institutional controls, including deed restrictions. The
estimated present worth cost for this remedial action
is $13,026,000, which includes an annual O&M cost
of $18,050 for 30 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS;
Chemical-specific soil, sediment, and pit sludge goals
are based on SDWA MCLs, and include arsenic
16 ug/kg; barium 5,400 mg/kg; and benzene
0.66 mg/kg. Ground water is expected to meet the
National Primary Drinking Water and health-based
standards. Chemical-specific goals for ground water
are based on SWDA MCLs and MCLGs, and include
arsenic 50 ug/I (MCL); barium 2,000 ug/1 (MCL);
cadmium 5 ug/1 (MCL); total chromium 100 ug/1
(MCL); total mercury 2 ug/1 (MCL); and benzene
5 ug/1 (MCL).
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS:
Institutional controls, including deed restrictions, will
be implemented onsite to prevent disturbance of the
clay cover.

GULF COAST VACUUM SERVICES (OPERABLE UNIT 2), LA
September 30, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 12.8-acre Gulf Coast Vacuum Services site is a
former vacuum truck and oilfield drilling mud plant
in Vermilion Parish, Louisiana. Land use in the
surrounding area is predominantly agricultural, and
the site is situated in the low-lying flatland of the
Atlantic Gulf Coastal Plain. Ten residences, located
within a half mile, use the ground water below the
site, the Chicot Aquifer, for drinking water as well as
irrigation. The site is bounded to the east and south
by the D.L. Mud Superfund site, which is being
evaluated separately. From 1969 to 1984, several
owners used the site as a trucking terminal for
transporting various materials, primarily waste
generated from oil exploration and production. The
site contains two open waste pits, specifically, the
Washout Pit and the West Pit, as well as two areas
covered with vegetation, known as the Former West
Pit. The Former West Pit, located south of the West
Pit, was used for disposal. Additionally, there are
four vertical storage tanks, horizontal tanks, and three
underground storage tanks. Unpermitted disposal of
contaminated materials, primarily oil industry-related
waste, occurred in the unlined pits, ditches, and soil
at the site. In 1980, a citizen's complaint through the
Vermilion Association for Protection of the
Environment prompted several site investigations by
EPA. EPA has conducted three removal actions at
the site, addressing contaminated overflow from the
Washout and West pits in 1990, overflow from the
West pit into a previously constructed secondary
containment area in 1991, and critical rainwater
accumulation in the Washout Pit and the West Pit in
1992. All three removals involved pumping, treating,
and discharging the wastewaters to prevent offsite
migration and human exposure. This ROD addresses
an interim remedy for OU2, the rainfall accumulation,
contaminated overflow, and offsite migration from the
Washout and West Pits. The primary contaminants of
concern affecting the soil, sludge, and surface water
(rainwater) are VOCs, including benzene, PCE, TCE,
toluene, and xylenes; other organics, including dioxin,
PAHs, PCBs, pesticides, and phenols; and metals,
including arsenic, chromium, and lead.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
excavating 2,700 cubic yards of contaminated sludge
and 550 cubic yards of associated soil from the
Washout Pit to 2 feet below where contaminant levels
exceed the remedial action goals, and consolidating
these materials into the West Pit to achieve positive
drainage; backfilling excavated areas with clean soil,
and covering the West Pit with an impermeable
synthetic membrane cover; pumping and onsite
treatment of 1,700,000 gallons of contaminated
rainwater, with discharge of the treated rainwater
onsite; abandoning three onsite water supply wells;
and monitoring air during the excavation. The
estimated present worth cost for this remedial action
is $525,200, which includes an annual O&M cost of
$5,000 for 27 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Chemical-specific remedial action goals were
developed for the accumulated rainwater based on
state effluent pollution concentration limits, and for
the soil and sludge based on health-risk values. Soil
and sludge excavation levels include arsenic 16 ug/kg;
barium 5,400 mg/kg; benzene 0.66 mg/kg; and
carcinogenic PAHs 3 mg/kg. Chemical-specific goals
or surface water include arsenic 137 ug/1; barium 2
ug/1; benzene 100 ugA; chromium 343 ug/1; endrin
180 mg/1; lead 275 ug/1; PCE 100 ug;l; phenol 47

KOPPERS (TEXARKANA PLANT) (AMENDMENT), TX
March 4, 1992
REGION 6
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 62-acre Koppers (Texarkana Plant) site is a
former wood treatment facility located in Texarkana,
Texas. The site consists of a 34-acre residential area
and a 28-acre former sand and gravel operation. The
entire site lies within a 100-year flood plain. From
1910 to 1961, the Koppers Company treated wood
onsite using PCP, creosote, and metallic salts. After
onsite operations ceased in 1961, the structures were
removed and the property was sold for residential and
industrial development. In 1964, Carver Terrace, Inc.
developed the northern 34 acres of the site for
residences. Kennedy Sand and Gravel Company
owns the remaining southern 28 acres, which operated
as a sand and gravel quarry from the late 1970s to
1984. In 1975, Mount Zion Missionary Baptist
Church purchased a small portion of the site from
Carver Terrace Inc. to construct a church. In 1980,
an investigation conducted by both the state and the
Koppers Company identified onsite soil and ground
water contaminated with PCP, arsenic, and creosote.
In 1985, EPA placed clean soil and sod on some of
the yards in the subdivision as a protective measure to
reduce exposure to contaminated soil. A 1988 ROD
provided for onsite treatment of contaminated soil
using soil washing and treating the ground water and
non-aqueous phase liquids (NAPLs) using oil/water
separation and carbon treatment. However, the
remedial action was not initiated because of a
Congressional mandate set forth in the Conference
Report to the FY92 Appropriations Bill stipulating
that EPA purchase homes located on the site and
provide relocation assistance to the residents. This
1992 ROD amendment appends the provisions of the
mandate to the remedy, as established in the 1988
ROD. The primary contaminants of concern, as
provided in the 1988 ROD, affecting the soil,
sediment, debris, and ground water are VOCs,
including benzene, toluene, and xylenes; other
organics, including PAHs and PCP; and metals,
including arsenic.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The amended remedial action for this ROD includes
implementing all treatment actions provided for in the
1988 ROD, which include onsite soil washing as well
as treatment of ground water using an oil and water
separator and granular activated carbon treatment
purchasingonsite residences; permanently relocating
affected residents; demolishing homes and removing
and disposing of debris offsite; implementing
institutional controls, including deed and land use
restrictions; and reclassifying the property from
residential to non-residential use. The estimated
amended present worth cost for this remedial action
is $12,400,000, which includes an annual O&M cost
ranging from $316,200 to $329,200 for 30 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Chemical-specific clean-up goals remain the same as
those provided in the 1988 ROD. Soil clean-up goals
include excavation to a 100 mg/kg action level of
total carcinogenic PAHs based on a risk level between
10"6 and 10"4. Ground water clean-up goals are not
provided but were based on Best Available Treatment
Requirements (BAT) for the Organic Chemical,
Plastics, and Synthetic Fibers Industry.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS:
Deed, land use, and zoning restrictions will be
implemented to prevent future residential development
of the site.

MOSLEY ROAD SANITARY LANDFILL, OK
June 29, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 72-acre Mosley Road Sanitary Landfill site is an
inactive municipal landfill in Oklahoma City,
Oklahoma County, Oklahoma. Land use in the area
is primarily residential and undeveloped with
875 residents within a one-mile radius of the site.
The North Canadian River flows about one-half mile
west of the site, and Crutcho Creek flows near the
eastern boundary of the site. The site overlies two
aquifers: an alluvial aquifer and the Garber-
Wellington aquifer, which is a source of drinking
water for three cities near the landfill. Both of these
ground water areas have been impacted by migration
of landfill contaminants. Several wetland areas are
located in the vicinity of the landfill. In 1973, the
site was permitted as a sanitary landfill, and between
February and August 1976, the state authorized the
landfill to accept industrial hazardous waste. During
this 6-month period, the Mosley Road Sanitary
Landfill accepted approximately 1.7 million gallons of
mostly liquid industrial hazardous waste. Types of
wastes included industrial sludge, caustic material,
plating sludge, acid solutions, oil emissions, alkaline
solutions, solvents, paint sludge, toxaphene, and TCE.
Waste was deposited into unlined waste pits, which
are currently buried under 80 feet of municipal refuse.
In 1987, the landfill reached its permitted capacity
and was closed. In 1988, a compacted clay cover was
installed in accordance with existing closure
regulations, and the area was vegetated to reduce
erosion. This ROD addresses the source (waste pits)
and the contaminated ground water as a final remedial
action for this site. The primary contaminants of
concern affecting the soil, debris, and ground water
are VOCs, including benzene, and metals, including
arsenic.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
repairing and improving the existing cap and adding
a vegetative soil layer to reduce erosion and
infiltration; allowing ground water to naturally
attenuate; installing a landfill gas monitoring system;
using ground water monitoring and periodic sampling
to monitor leachate migration; providing a
contingency for active ground water extraction and
treatment, if after 5 years natural attenuation has not
decreased contaminant levels; and implementing

OKLAHOMA REFINING, OK
June 9, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 160-acre Oklahoma Refining site is a petroleum
refinery located on the eastern edge of Cyril,
Oklahoma in Caddo County. Land use in the area is
predominantly rural, with the township of Cyril
bordering the western edge of the site and creek
systems bordering the eastern and southern edges.
The facility included refinery process areas, bulk
storage tanks, waste pits, wastewater treatment ponds,
and a land treatment area. From the 1920's until
1984, the Oklahoma Refining facility produced
refining products onsite, which included gasoline,
naphtha, asphalt, and nonchlorinated solvents. Wastes
generated from these processes were generally
disposed of in unlined product and waste storage pits
or were applied to land. Refinery wastewaters were
directed into an oil and water separator, treated in a
series of surface impoundments, and discharged into
an adjacent creek. In 1984, the Oklahoma Refining
Company (ORC) removed 5,000 barrels of light non-
aqueous phase liquid (LNAPL) from the ground water
table. During the mid-1980's, EPA investigations
revealed large-scale organic and heavy metal
contamination of onsite soil and ground water. In
1990, EPA conducted a removal action, which
included chracterization and removal of drums,
plugging wells, and wildlife protection measures.
This ROD addresses the remediation of onsite
contaminated soil, sediment, surface water, and
ground water as a final remedy. The primary
contaminants of concern affecting the soil, sediment,
debris, ground water, and surface water are VOCs,
including benzene, toluene, and xylenes; other
organics, including PAHs and phenols; and metals,
including arsenic, chromium, and lead.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes in-
situ bioremediation of organic contaminated sediment;
in-situ stabilization of inorganic contaminated
sediment, followed by capping; removing and treating
all surface water collected from surface
impoundments; excavating and onsite containment of
contaminated soil and sediment that exceed health-
based levels; excavating and neutralizing low pH
sediment, followed by replacing the treated materials
in the original areas; excavating and recycling
asphaltic materials; treating sediment and soil that
cannot be treated in-situ using prepared-bed
bioremediation, followed by stabilization, if needed,
and onsite disposal and containment; extracting and
containing LNAPLs-contaminated ground water, and
treating the collected ground water along with surface
water and storm water in an onsite treatment facility
with a treatment process, which would include an oil
and water separator to remove NAPLs and air
stripping and/or activated carbon to remove organics,
and using either oxidation, reduction, precipitation,
and filtration or any combination of these to remove
inorganics; injecting nutrients along with the treated
water into the contaminated portion of the aquifer to
enhance in-situ bioremediation; recycling the
recovered hydrocarbons; monitoring ground water;
plugging all unnecessary wells; and implementing
institutional controls, including deed and ground water
use restrictions and site access restrictions, such as
fencing. The estimated present worth cost for this
remedial action is $31,712,000, which includes an
annual O&M cost of $425,000 for 30 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS.
The chemical-specific standards are based on
Remedial Action Objectives (RAOs) for each affected
medium. For soil, subsurface soil, and sediment,
RAOs are health-based depending on whether
exposure would result from leaching (ground water
protection) or ingestion. Chemical-specific standards
for ground water and surface water include arsenic
0.05 mg/kg; barium 1 mg/kg; benzene 0.005 mg/kg;
chromium 0.1 mg/kg; lead 0.015 mg/kg; 2-methyl
napthalene 0.15 mg/kg; 2- and 4-methylphenol 1.8
mg/kg; naphthalene 0.15 mg/kg; phenol 22 mg/kg;
and toluene 1 mg/kg. Chemical-specific standards for
sediment and surface soil include arsenic 25 mg/kg;
barium 13,500 mg/kg; benzene 22 mg/kg;
benzo(a)anthracene 4.1 mg/kg; chromium 1,350
mg/kg; ethylbenzene 27,000 mg/kg; lead 600 mg/kg;
toluene 54,000 mg/kg; and xylenes 540,000 mg/kg.
Chemical-specific standards for subsurface soil
include arsenic 305 mg/kg; benzene 0.2 mg/kg;
chromium 770 mg/kg; lead 865 mg/kg; naphthalene
79 mg/kg; and phenol 125 mg/kg.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS:
A notice will be attached to the property deed to
inform future land owners that the onsite ground
water is contaminated and should not be used as a
drinking water source.

PREWITT ABANDONED REFINERY, NM
September 30, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 70-acre Prewitt Abandoned Refinery site is an
abandoned crude oil refinery near the City of Prewitt
in McKinley County, New Mexico. Land use in the
area is predominantly rural. Some of the estimated
75 people who reside within 1 mile of the site use the
Sonseia Sandstone Bed Aquifer as their drinking
water supply source. From 1938 to 1957, various
companies, including the Atlantic Richfield Company
(ARCO) and El Paso Natural Gas (EPNG) Company,
used the site for basic refining operations. The main
onsite processing units included a distillation plant,
thermal cracker, and reformer. Crude oil in storage
tanks was separated into different fractions via a
distillation tower. Separated fractions were stored in
tanks throughout the facility. Because of a lack of
waste management units, wastes were disposed of
onsite near the point of generation. Wastewaters and
accidental spills were usually released in unlined
earthen ditches throughout the refinery area. These
ditches led to a concrete tank, which was used as an
oil/water separator. Oil portions recovered from the
separator were returned to the refinery process,
whereas water and heavier materials were released to
a nearby arroyo (gully). In the early operation of the
plant, the emergency release system consisted of
releasing partially processed oil products to bermed
containment areas on the western edge of the facility.
After the refinery closed in 1957, the accompanying
structures were dismantled, but the site still contains
processing remnants, including piping, pits, an
oil/water separator, and other waste and structural
material. As a result of a citizen's complaint in 1980,
PRPs conducted a remedial investigation under EPA
oversight that revealed metals, PAHs, and asbestos
contamination in soils; separator wastes; and Non-
Aqueous Phase Liquids (NAPLs) in addition to lead,
1,2 dichloroethane, benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene,
and xylene in ground water located beneath the site.
In 1989, EPA directed the PRPs to fence the site and
install activated carbon filtration units on five affected
residential wells. In 1991, PRPs removed
approximately 800 cubic yards of asbestos-containing
material offsite. This ROD addresses remediation of
all contaminated media at the site as a final action.
The primary contaminants of concern affecting the
soil, sludge, and ground water are VOCs, including
benzene, TCE, toluene, and xylenes; other organics,
including PAHs; metals, including lead; and
inorganics, including asbestos.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION;
The selected remedial action for this site includes
extracting contaminated ground water and using an oil
and water separator to remove NAPLs; treating
approximately 43,000 gallons of extracted NAPLs
onsite using soil vapor extraction to remove VOCs
from soil, along with a thermal catalytic oxidizer to
destroy VOC vapor emissions; excavating,
consolidating, and onsite landfarming of
approximately 1,175 cubic yards of waste from the
West Pits area and approximately 1,500 cubic yards
of soil contaminated with high levels of hydrocarbons,
and placing a vegetative cover over the area after
completion of treatment; excavating, containerizing,
and removing offsite 15 cubic yards of asbestos
contaminated material and soil; excavating and
treating as necessary, 1,900 cubic yards of lead-
contaminated surface soil with levels in excess of 500
mg/kg or subsurface soil with lead levels greater than
1,000 mg/kg, followed by offsite disposal; excavating
any sludge retrieved from the oil/water separator, with
offsite pretreatment and/or disposal; treating any
contaminated soil identified beneath the separator
onsite by landfarming or offsite by incineration,
pending testing results, and backfilling the separator
area; pumping and onsite treatment of the
contaminated ground water using air sparging to
remove organics, and reinjecting the treated water
onsite; installing and maintaining activated carbon
treatment units at domestic wells that exceed MCLs;
monitoring soil, ground water, private wells, and air;
and implementing institutional controls, including
deed, land, and ground water use restrictions, and site
access restrictions. The estimated present worth cost
for this remedial action is $16,301,576, which
includes a total O&M cost of $1,097,844 for 30 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Clean-up standards for soil and waste are based on
health-based levels and EPA policy and provide for
the complete removal of asbestos, and the cleanup of
lead to 500 mg/kg within the top 2 feet of soil and
1,000 mg/kg of lead for soil depths greater than
2 feet. Chemical-specific ground water clean-up
goals are based on state standards and SDWA MCLs

29TH AND MEAD GROUNDWATER CONTAMINATION, KS
September 29, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 1,440-acre 29th and Mead Groundwater
Contamination site is an active manufacturing facility
in north-central Wichita, Sedgwick County, Kansas.
Since 1887, land use in the area has been
predominantly industrial. In 1947, the property was
purchased by Coleman, Inc., for the manufacture of
household furnace and air conditioning units.
Previous onsite activities had included the
manufacture of railway cars, automobiles, light
aircraft, and electronically controlled aircraft. In
1987, Recreational Vehicles Products (RV) purchased
approximately 10 percent of the property to use for
manufacturing air conditioners for recreational
vehicles. Since 1990, the remaining 90 percent has
been occupied by Evcon Industries. Evcon's portion
of the site, which is the former Coleman Heating,
Ventilation and Air Conditioning facility, includes a
manufacturing plant (North Plant) and an
administration/engineering building. Several industrial
wells are currently in operation to support Evcon's
operations, which consist of the production of
consumer furnaces and air-conditioning systems
intended for conventional residential use. The
manufacturing process uses solvents for metal
cleaning, prior to painting and fabrication of furnace
or air-conditioning units. In 1983, EPA, the U.S.
Geological Survey, and the state began investigating
the ground water at the site and found elevated levels
of several VOCs. In 1988, Coleman and the state
initiated a ground water recovery and treatment
program, which uses two 40-foot air strippers and a
soil vapor extraction (SVE) program to treat
contaminated soils in a 65,000-square-foot area.
Water from the system is discharged to the Wichita
Drainage Canal under a CWA NPDES permit issued
by the state. This ROD, which focuses on the
Coleman Operable Unit, addresses soil contamination
as a final remedial action and provides interim
measures for the contaminated ground water. A
future ROD is planned to address a final remedy for
the ground water at the site. The primary
contaminants of concern affecting the soil and ground
water are VOCs, including 1,1-DCA, 1,1,1-TCA,
TCE, and PCE.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION;
The selected remedial action for this site includes
continued operation and expansion of the existing
SVE system to remediate other onsite source areas;
monitoring the performance of the SVE system, and
establishing goals during the RD phase; enhancing the
hydraulic control of the existing ground water
extraction and air stripping treatment system by
adding a well at the southern site boundary; treating
ground water onsite using air stripping, with discharge
of the treated water offsite under a NPDES permit;
monitoring air emissions from the ground water
treatment system and the SVE system, with possible
treatment of the emissions, if necessary; and
monitoring the ground water collection/treatment
system and the contaminant plume. The estimated
present worth cost for this remedial action is
$1,638,456, which includes an annual O&M cost
ranging from $78,900 to $182,200 for 18 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Chemical-specific soil clean-up goals for the
expanded SVE system will be developed during the
Remedial Design phase. Chemical-specific ground
water clean-up goals are based on SDWA MCLs and
CWA discharge limits and include 1,1-DCA 7 ug/1;
PCE 5 ug/1; 1,1,1-TCA 200 ug/1; and TCE 5 ug/1.

DES MOINES TCE, IA
September 18, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The Des Moines TCE site is located southwest of
downtown Des Moines, Polk County, Iowa. Land use
in the area is predominantly industrial and
commercial, and part of the site lies within the
floodplain of the Raccoon River. An underground
infiltration gallery, used by the Des Moines Water
Works, is located directly south of the site and serves
as a source of public drinking water. EPA site
investigations began in the mid-1970's when
chlorinated organic contaminants were detected in the
Des Moines public water supply. Water from the Des
Moines Water Works north infiltration gallery was
found to be contaminated with trichloroethylene
(TCE), dichloroethylene (DCE), and vinyl chloride at
levels above accepted drinking water standards.
Several businesses that handled the contaminants of
concern are or were located within the site
boundaries. A 1986 ROD addressed OU1 and
provided for extraction of ground water in the
floodplain of the Raccoon River through recovery
wells and treatment using air stripping, with discharge
to the Raccoon River. This ROD addresses OU3,
which encompasses potential sources of ground water
contamination in an area north of the Raccoon River,
commonly known as the "North Plume." Future
RODs will address the South Area Source Control
unit as OU2 to mitigate the release of contamination
entering the ground water; the South Pond Drainage
Area Source Control unit as OU4 to address pesticide
soil contamination in the southeast portion of the site;
and also contaminated buildings on thfe adjacent Dico
property. Based on samples taken at 13 ground water
monitoring wells installed in OU3 only one of the
13 wells showed contamination at levels of concern.
In general, the contaminant concentrations in that well
have shown a decreasing trend in the last five
sampling rounds, and no specific source of
contamination in this well was found during EPA's
investigation of OU3.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for OU3 includes no
action with periodic ground water monitoring.
Ground water from the OU3 area will continue to be
captured and treated by the OU1 extraction and
treatment system. There are no costs associated with
this no action remedy.

FARMERS' MUTUAL COOPERATIVE, IA
September 29, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION;
The 6-acre Fanners' Mutual Cooperative site is an
active grain storage facility in Hospers, Sioux County,
Iowa. Land use in the area is predominantly
agricultural. The 643 residents of the City of Hospers
obtain their drinking water from municipal water
supplies and private wells. From 1908 to the present,
the Farmers Mutual Cooperative Company (FMCC)
used the site for the purchasing and storing of grain
and agricultural chemicals, including pesticides and
fertilizers. In addition, grain fumigation had been
conducted onsite. In 1984, state investigations
detected VOCs and herbicides in the ground water of
three shallow city wells adjacent to the FMCC
facility. In 1989, the state ordered FMCC to conduct
an RI/FS, which showed ground water contamination
was limited to the shallow wells and did not impact
the deeper aquifer. The City of Hospers uses three
deep aquifer wells and installed an additional deep
well to meet their water supply needs. Prior actions,
including removal of bulk pesticides and further
handling from FMCC, have been taken to prevent
additional release of contaminants. This ROD
addresses ground water contamination as a final
remedial action for this site. The primary
contaminants of concern affecting the ground water
are VOCs, including carbon tetrachloride; and other
organics, including pesticides.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION;
The selected remedial action for this site includes
allowing ground water to naturally attenuate;
monitoring ground water to determine the
effectiveness of the remedy; and providing for a
contingency in the event that use of the impacted
aquifer as a water supply is necessary prior to
complete restoration. This contingency includes
developing and implementing a blending program for
the City of Hospers water from the upper and lower
aquifers until MCLs have been achieved; testing the
upper aquifer prior to its use; treating contaminated
ground water for use as drinking water, or containing
contaminants to enable use of the impacted aquifer
without treatment. The estimated present worth cost
for this remedial action ranges from $93,000 to
$187,000, depending on the remedy employed. There
are no O&M costs associated with this remedial
action.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS;
Chemical-specific ground water clean-up goals are

HYDRO-FLEX, KS
March 9, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION;
The 2.95-acre Hydro-Flex site, located in Topeka,
Kansas, was used for manufacturing flexible copper
couplings. Land use in the area is primarily
industrial/commercial, with several scattered
residences nearby. The site overlies a low-lying
alluvial plain south of Soldier Creek and north of the
Kansas River. The alluvium, which makes up part of
the Kansas River floodplain, serves as a drinking
water source for approximately 6,551 people within a
3-mile radius. From the 1970's to the 1980's, Hydro-
Flex discharged an average of 90 gallons per day of
process wastewater into an onsite wastewater disposal
system consisting of a septic tank with three concrete
manholes and a soil absorption field. In 1981, the
onsite wastewater disposal ceased and was
subsequently taken out of operation when Hydro-Flex
was connected to the Topeka sewer system. A PA/SI
performed by the state identified sludge and ground
water contaminated with chromium and copper. This
ROD addresses onsite sludge and ground water. EPA
investigations have shown that levels of chromium
and copper in the soil are not above naturally
occurring levels and, therefore, no longer pose a
health threat under current or likely land use
conditions. Therefore, there are no contaminants of
concern affecting this site.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site is no further
action because there is currently no significant
contamination in the sediment-free ground water, or
any significant continuing source of contamination to
the ground water from the site. There are no costs
associated with this no action remedy.

PESTER REFINERY, KS
September 30, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 10-acre Pester Refinery site is a former
petroleum refining facility located in El Dorado,
Butler County, Kansas. Land use in the area is
predominantly industrial and agricultural. The City of
El Dorado draws its water supply from the El Dorado
reservoir, 2 miles east of the site. Petroleum refining
operations in the area began in 1917, and from 1958
to 1977, Fina Oil Company operated a petroleum
refinery at this site. Process wastes, such as slop-oil
emulsion solids, API separator sludge, and heat
exchanger bundle cleaning sludge were sent through
a pipe to a burn pond. Gaseous waste products were
ignited at the end of the pipe, and whatever did not
burn was discharged to the pond. The site historically
contained the burn pond, a stormwater pond, and a
settling pond, all of which became interconnected
over the years. In 1977, Pester purchased the
property and operated the facility until 1985.
Although other portions of the property were sold,
Pester still retains ownership of land surrounding the
burn pond area. In 1986, the state RCRA division
initiated site investigations, which confirmed that
contamination had occurred. In 1992, Fina
constructed an interceptor trench and pumping system
near the pond to evacuate contaminated water and
materials. This ROD provides a final remedy for the
principal source of contamination at the site, the burn
pit sludge. A subsequent ROD addresses ground
water contamination. The primary contaminants of
concern affecting the soil and sludge are VOCs,
including ethylbenzene, toluene, and xylenes; other
organics, including PAHs and phenols; and metals,
including arsenic, chromium, and lead.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedy for this site includes dewatering
the pond and transporting the associated sludge offsite
to a RCRA facility for re-refining into a usable
petroleum product and/or disposal; treating the soil
using in-situ soil flushing; discharging the wash water
to an oil/water separator to remove free oils and
sediment, followed by nutrient addition with aeration
to enhance biological action; and discharging the
water to a treatment facility or back to the pond for
continued treatment until testing demonstrates that
clean-up levels have been achieved; monitoring air;
and implementing institutional controls including deed
restrictions and site access restrictions such as
fencing. The estimated present worth cost for this
remedial action is $2,374,800, which includes a
present value O&M cost of $464,700 over 3 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Chemical-specific soil and sludge clean-up goals are
based on health-based levels, and include
benzo(a)anthracene 13 mg/kg and chrysene 13 rag/kg.
Other contaminants of concern will be treated to meet
EPA acceptable risk levels, if necessary.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS:
Institutional control measures in the form of deed
restrictions will be implemented to limit access to the
site and control future land use.

BRODERICK WOOD PRODUCTS, CO
March 24, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 64-acre Broderick Wood Products (BWP) site is
a former wood preserving facility in unincorporated
Adams County, Colorado, located just outside of
Denver, Colorado. Land use in the area is
predominantly industrial. There are three aquifers
below the site: the surficial, the Denver, and the
Arapahoe. The Denver aquifer ground water is used
for commercial and irrigation purposes, and the
Arapahoe is tapped by several private wells in the
area. All residences are currently connected to a
municipal water supply system for household use.
From 1947 to 1981, the BWP Company used the site
to operate a wood treatment facility, where both
creosote and pentachlorophenol (PCP) were mixed
with carrier oil (fuel oil) and used at the site. The
major site features include two unlined surface
impoundments and 23 structures. Underground
structures at the site include the treatment basement
building and two cylinder basements. There are also
16 vessels, including storage tanks, an air cylinder,
and a pressure cylinder onsite, whose capacities range
from 2,400 to 50,000 gallons. Approximately
70 drums containing various chemicals, oils, and
asbestos are stored in the process area, and 65 drums
of oil from sludge are stored in the impoundment area
of the site. Process waste from the plant was
disposed of onsite, with a large amount going to the
impoundments on the northwest corner of the site. In
1946, the main impoundment was constructed, and in
1956, a secondary one was constructed for additional
evaporation capacity and overflow. In 1962, both
impoundments caught fire and burned for several
hours. BWP ceased operations as a woodtreater in
1981. Investigations were done by EPA and the state
under RCRA and CERCLA authorities, which
revealed contamination both onsite and on adjacent
properties. In 1988, EPA issued an interim ROD to
control the major source of contamination at the site,
including restriction of site access, treatment of water
in the impoundments and buildings, excavation and
incineration of sludge, and stockpiling or onsite
incineration of visibly contaminated soil in the
impoundments, referred to as OU1. A petition was
filed with EPA to reconsider onsite incineration; and
a ROD amendment was issued in 1991 that provided
for excavation and offsite recycling/incineration of the
sludge from the two impoundments. Two temporary-
lined cells were constructed on the property, and
sludge was stockpiled temporarily until the solid
sludge storage cell was completed. Approximately
950 cubic yards of solid sludge and 1,200 cubic yards
of liquid sludge have been stored in lined cells with
leachate collection and will be removed to an offsite
recycling facility. This ROD addresses OU2, a final
remedy for the BWP site. The primary contaminants
of concern affecting the soil, debris, sediment, and
ground water are VOCs, including benzene, toluene,
and xylenes; organics, including PAHs, dioxins, and
other phenolic compounds; metals, including arsenic
and lead; and inorganics, including asbestos.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
demolishing and decontaminating onsite buildings,
stockpiling debris onsite temporarily, then transporting
approximately 850 cubic yards of building debris and
205 cubic yards of asbestos-containing materials
offsite for disposal at a permitted landfill;
decontaminating 225 tons of scrap metal onsite, with
offsite reclamation; pumping or excavating sludge or
liquid contents from drums and vessels, storing the
drummed waste onsite temporarily, then transporting
the waste offsite for reclamation; pumping,
approximately 9,500 gallons of contaminated water
from building sumps and basements of onsite
structures, and stabilizing, drumming, and
transporting the drums offsite to a RCRA landfill;
excavating approximately 59,000 cubic yards of
organic-contaminated soil and 120 cubic yards of
Fisher Ditch sediment; dewatering the sediment,
followed by onsite treatment of the soil and sediment
using ex-situ bioremediation in an onsite land
treatment unit (LTU) over a 7-year period; conducting
treatability tests to determine the best stabilization
compound for the wastes, then treating 800 cubic
yards of metals-contaminated soil onsite using
stabilization, with disposal at an offsite RCRA
landfill; closing the existing surface impoundments;
recovering approximately 526 million gallons of
ground water and light non-aqueous phase liquids
(LNAPLs) from the surficial aquifer using subsurface
drain trenches and recovery wells; removing LNAPLs
in an oil/water separator, and reclaiming the LNAPLs
at an offsite recycling facility; treating the remaining
water using a two-phase fixed-film bioreactor, mixed
with nutrients and an oxygenated chemical, then
reinjected into the aquifer to stimulate bacterial

growth to promote further contaminant breakdown
within the shallow aquifer, and also using small
quantities within the soil remediation processes;
collecting dense non-aqueous phase liquids (DNAPLs)
and ground water from existing monitoring wells in
the Denver aquifer, and treating these in the oil/water
separator, with offsite recycling; monitoring ground
water; and also implementing institutional controls
including deed and ground water use restrictions to
control access to water in the surficial and Denver
aquifers. The estimated total present worth cost for
this selected remedial action is $15,551,033, which
includes a present worth O&M cost of $7,400,185 for
30 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Chemical-specific excavation goals for soil and
sediment were based on health risk clean-up level
indices (CLIs) greater than 1. Chemical-specific soil
and sediment clean-up goals are based on health-
based criteria for organic contaminants and RCRA
LDR standards for metal contaminants and include
toluene 0.5-10 mg/kg; xylenes 0.5-10 mg/kg;
benzo(a)pyrene 15.2 mg/kg; dibenzo(a,h) anthracene
13.9 mg/kg; 2,3,7,8 TCDD equivalent 0.0006 mg/kg;
pentachlorophenol, naphthalene, and pyrene at 95-99
percent reduction; arsenic 5 mg/kg; cadmium 1 mg/kg
and lead 5 mg/kg. Chemical-specific ground water
clean-up goals are based on SDWA MCLs and the
Colorado Basic Standards and include 2,3,7,8 TCDD
equivalent 5xlO"5 ug/1; trichloroethylene at 5 ug/1;
tetrachloroethylene 1.6 ug/1; carbozole 4.1 ug/1;
phenol 623 ug/1; pentachlorophenol 1 ug/1; pyrene 312
ug/1; and naphthalene 41.6 ug/1. The ability to
achieve these clean-up levels cannot be determined
until the extraction system has been implemented;
therefore, EPA may need to modify the remedy if
necessary. This ROD provides a chemical-specific
waiver for the Denver aquifer because of technical
impracticability.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS:
Deed restrictions will be implemented at this site to
prevent future residential and agricultural use of the
site, and to control access to water in the Denver and
surficial aquifers.

DENVER RADIUM (OPERABLE UNIT 8), CO
January 28, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION;
The 10-acre Denver Radium (Operable Unit 8) site is
a former radioactive extraction industry located in
Denver, Denver County, Colorado. The site is
divided into three areas: the 5.9-acre S.W. Shattuck
Chemical Inc. (Shattuck) property; the 4.3-acre
railroad right-of-way west of the Shattuck property;
and nearby "vicinity" properties. Land use
surrounding the site is predominantly industrial, with
some residential areas. The site is located within the
South Platte River drainage basin. From the 1920's
to 1984, the Shattuck property was used to treat and
process molybdenum ores, radium slimes, and
uranium compounds and ores. The railroad right-of-
way has been operational daily since the late
19th century with a spur to the Shattuck property. As
a result of extensive mining and processing,
radioactive contaminated soil is widely scattered
resulting in a variety of radiation levels. A U.S.
Bureau of Mines report led EPA to field research
31 radioactive sites in Denver and Denver County. In
1983, EPA conducted remedial investigations, which
detected elevated levels of radon gas and gamma
radiation. A 1989 emergency removal action at one
of the vicinity properties included radon mitigation
measures. This ROD addresses a final remedy for
radioactive contaminated debris, ground water, and
soil, as OU8. Future RODs will address the
remaining contaminated media at 11 OUs not
addressed by the previous seven RODs at the Denver
Radium sites. The primary contaminants of concern
affecting the soil, debris, and ground water are metals
including arsenic and lead; inorganics, including
asbestos; and radioactive materials.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION;
The selected remedial action for this site includes
demolishing and decontaminating buildings, tanks,
and equipment onsite; temporarily storing debris from
vicinity properties onsite at the Shattuck area, pending
either offsite disposal and/or scrap recycling, or
salvaging of debris; disposing of asbestos-containing
material from buildings offsite; conducting pilot scale
treatability studies during remedial design to optimize
stabilization design; excavating and transporting 5,000
cubic yards of radium-contaminated soil from the
railroad rights-of-way and 6,000 cubic yards from the
vicinity properties; consolidating these with 38,500
cubic yards of soil from the Shattuck property, and
treating the soil onsite using cement-based
stabilization; placing a cap over the stabilized
material, and revegetating the area; filling previously
excavated areas with clean fill; testing for,
remediating and disposing of any RCRA hazardous
waste offsite; allowing the ground water to naturally
attenuate; monitoring ground water and air ; and
implementing institutional controls, including deed,
land, and ground water use restrictions. The
estimated present worth cost for this remedial action
is $26,600,000, which includes an annual O&M cost
of $120,000 for 200 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS;
Chemical-specific soil action levels are based on
Nuclear Regulatory Commission and Department of
Energy standards for Radium-226, exceeding 5 pci/g
above background in the top 15 cm of soil and
15 pci/g above background in any layer below the top
15 cm; thorium-230,42 pci/g; uranium; 75 pci/g; and
risk-based standards for arsenic 160 mg/kg; selenium
490 mg/kg; and lead 540 mg/kg.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS;
Deed, land use, and ground water use restrictions will
be implemented to prevent excavation of the cover
and stabilized materials and to prohibit construction of
enclosed structures and agricultural use on the
disposal site.

DENVER RADIUM (OPERABLE UNIT 9), CO
December 23, 1991
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION;
The Denver Radium (Operable Unit 9) site is a
former radioactive mining site located in Denver,
Denver County, Colorado. The site includes a 17-
acre former brick plant, a parking lot, and a large
amount of exposed soil. Land use in the area is
predominantly commercial and industrial, with a
residential area located several blocks east of the site.
The South Platte River lies 1,000 feet from the former
brick plant. Industrial activities commenced at the
site in 1886 with the construction of the Bailey
Smelter. In 1890, the Gold and Silver Extraction
Company began a cyanide leaching operation onsite.
In 1901, the Bailey Smelter burned down. By 1903,
the Colorado Zinc Company had constructed a mill on
the site of the Bailey Smelter, and zinc milling
operations continued until 1910. From 1914 to 1917,
the U.S. Bureau of Mines operated a radium
processing facility onsite, known as the National
Radium Institute (NRI). Other onsite industrial
activities included minerals recovery, manufacturing
and servicing of storage batteries, treating and sacking
of metallic ore insulation, oil reclamation, and
landfilling. Robinson Brick Company (Robco)
acquired 13.5 acres of the site in 1941 and a
contiguous 3.5-acre parcel in 1951. Robco, the
present owner of the site, utilized the site until 1980
to manufacture bricks. In 1983, EPA discovered that
30 properties, including the Robco property, contained
radiologic contamination in the soil attributable to
prior NRI operations. In 1988, the U.S. Bureau of
Mines initiated excavation of the radiologically
contaminated material. In the course of the radium
cleanup, metals contamination, resulting from mining
wastes disposed of and used as fill from the mid-
1880's to the early 1920's, was discovered onsite.
Excavation of the radiologically contaminated
materials was completed in 1991 as part of OUs 4
and 5. This ROD addresses approximately
16,500 cubic yards of metal-contaminated soil as
OU9, on of 11 OUs planned for the site. The
primary contaminants of concern affecting the soil are
metals, including arsenic and lead.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for the site includes
constructing a 3.7-acre multi-media cap over onsite
contaminated soil with metal concentrations exceeding
action levels; utilizing the existing concrete floor of
the brick plant and asphalt parking lot in concert with
the backfilled soil cap; providing inspection and repair
of the concrete floor, as necessary; upgrading the
asphalt with geotextile fabric and an additional 6-inch
layer of asphalt; monitoring downgradient ground
water; long-term monitoring to ensure effectiveness of
the cap; and implementing institutional controls
including deed restrictions to limit the ground water
use and to maintain the integrity of the cap. The
estimated present worth cost for this remedial action
is $1,702,000.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Design of the cap will comply with RCRA and state
requirements. Chemical-specific soil remediation
goals, which are based on health criteria, include
prevention of exposure and direct contact with action
level concentrations exceeding arsenic 79 ug/1; lead
1,000 ug/I; and zinc 17,000 ug/1.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS:
Deed restrictions will be implemented to prevent
using the site for commercial or industrial purposes
and to prevent future development of the capped area,
' which could impair the effectiveness of the remedial
action. Additionally, the deed restriction will prohibit
placement of wells onsite for the purpose of supplying
drinking water.

HILL AIR FORCE BASE, UT
September 25, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 6,700-acre Hill Air Force Base (AFB) is located
in north-central Utah, covering portions of Davis and
Weber Counties. Surrounding land use is
predominantly industrial. Shallow ground water in
the area is used only for agricultural purposes, and
there are no wells that currently supply drinking water
from the shallow aquifer. This site is part of OU3 in
the southeastern portion of the Base, which also
includes the Industrial Waste Treatment Plant (IWTP),
sludge beds, Berman Pond, Ponds 1 and 3, Buildings
510 and 514, and a contaminated ground water area.
There are several areas of the Base where past
disposal practices and spills contaminated both the
soil and ground water. The Air Force has grouped
geographically adjacent contaminated areas into seven
OUs. The Sodium Hydroxide Tank Site is a 29,000-
square-foot area that surrounds two 12,000-gallon
underground storage tanks (USTs) constructed in the
1950's. The tanks, approximately 5 feet below the
ground surface, are used to store sodium hydroxide
solution, which is used as an additive in wastewater
treatment at the IWTP. In 1980, an estimated
150,000 gallons of solution leaked from the inlet
connections to the tanks over a 1-year period. A
second series of leaks occurred in 1984, releasing
approximately 132,000 gallons. Sampling
investigations revealed high soil pH and
conductivities, indicating that most of the
contamination is probably at a depth of 25 to 40 feet
below surface. The presence of the sodium hydroxide
solution in the ground water is uncertain and will be
investigated in future remedial investigations. A 1991
ROD addressed the interim remediation of OU2
subsurface soil and ground water. This interim ROD
limits further degradation of ground water quality as
a result of sodium hydroxide migration through the
unsaturated zone. Future RODs will address a final
remedy for contaminated soil and ground water at
OU3 and other OUs at the Base. The primary
contaminant of concern affecting the soil is an
inorganic, sodium hydroxide.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION;
The selected interim remedial action for this site
includes removing two underground storage tanks;
backfilling the excavated area with the previously
excavated soil and clean fill; and constructing a
29,000 square foot sloped temporary asphalt cap at
the ground surface after removal of the tanks to
ensure drainage of precipitation into the existing
stormwater system. The tank removal project will be
conducted under a state permit and administered by
the state under its Underground Storage Tank (UST)
program, under a state-issued permit, which will
regulate decontamination and proper disposal of the
tanks and their associated piping, as well as testing
for contamination of the native soil underlying the
tanks and piping. The estimated present worth cost
for this interim remedial action is $55,343, which
includes an annual O&M cost of $540 for 3 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Chemical-specific performance standards for this
interim action will be specified in the final ROD for
all of OU3. This ROD invokes an ARAR waiver on
the basis that this is part of an interim remedy;
therefore, RCRA closure requirements will not be
attained.

IDAHO POLE, MT
September 28, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 50-acre Idaho Pole site is an active wood
treatment facility located in Gallatin County,
Bozeman, Montana. Land use in the area is light
industrial. The site lies within the 100-year
floodplain, and wetlands are also located onsite. The
site includes the Idaho Pole Company (IPC) pole
plant, Burlington Northern Railroad property,
Montana Rail Link property, and land owned by the
Montana Pole Company. The IPC wood-treating
facility began operation in 1945, using creosote to
preserve wood. In 1952, the company switched to
pentachlorophenol in carrier oil (similar to fuel oil)
for the wood-treating solution. In 1978, the state
found evidence that an oily wood-treating fluid was
being released from the plant and disposed of in
ditches. IPC stopped releasing this substance and
attempted to clean up the land. In an attempt to slow
or eliminate movement of the oily wood-treating fluid
through ground and surface water and into private
wells, IPC installed and operated an interceptor drain
with a sump and an interceptor trench. Absorbent
pads also were used in the culverts and ditches to
intercept and collect the oily wood-treating fluid.
Culverts under 1-90 were dammed to prevent runoff
of contaminated surface water to Rocky Creek. The
spillage of oily wood-treating fluid has resulted in
soil, ditch sediment, and ground water contamination
both onsite and offsite in the surrounding vicinity. In
addition, since the oily wood-treating fluid is lighter
or less dense than water, a product layer exists
beneath the site, above ground water. This ROD
addresses contaminated onsite soil, sediment, and
ground water. The primary contaminants of concern
affecting these media are organics, including dioxins,
oils, PAHs, pesticides, and phenols; and inorganics.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION;
The selected remedial action for this site includes
excavating and consolidating approximately
19,000 cubic yards of contaminated soil from the
pasture area, ditch sediment and bottoms, and the
former round house area; pretreating the soil onsite
using an oil/solids separator to remove the oily wood-
treating fluid, followed by biological treatment of the
contaminated soil and sediment in a land treatment
unit (LTU), and capping the LTD with a RCRA cap;
treating 23,000 cubic yards of soil in inaccessible
locations contaminated with oily wood treatment
fluids using in-situ soil flushing; enhancing in-situ
biological degradation of soil contaminants by the
addition of oxygen and nutrients; collecting the
flushed water and skimming the oil; combining this
oil with recovered oil from the other site areas,
followed by recycling or offsite disposal in
accordance RCRA; filling excavated areas with clean
soil; pumping and onsite treatment of approximately
1 billion gallons of contaminated ground water within
the boundaries of the oily plume, followed by transfer
to an oil/water separator-clarifier/filtration plant;
treating the water using a fixed film bioreactor;
consolidating the solids from the separation process
into the LTU for treatment along with the
contaminated soil; treating approximately 210 million
gallons of contaminated ground water from under the
pasture area by in-situ biodegradation; reinjecting the
treated ground water onsite or treating this using
additional treatments, such as carbon polishing to
meet POTW pretreatment standards, if necessary;
monitoring ground water; providing any contaminated
residential wells with in-home carbon/reverse osmosis
treatment system until MCLs are reached; and
implementing engineering and institutional controls,
including deed, land, and ground water use
restrictions. The estimated present worth cost for this
remedial action is $9,074,962, which includes a total
O&M cost of $928,790 for 10-30 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Soil and sediment goals are based on a site-specific
risk analysis levels and will correspond to a 10"4 to
10"6 lifetime cancer risk. Chemical-specific clean-up
goals for soil include PCP 48 mg/kg (risk); total
B2 PAHs 15 mg/kg (risk); total D PAHs 145 mg/kg
(HO); and TCDD TE 0.001 mg/kg. Ground water
clean-up levels are based on SDWA MCLs and
proposed MCLs. Chemical-specific goals for ground
water include pentachlorophenol 1 ug/1 (MCL);
benzo(a)pyrene 0.2 ug/1 (MCL); and 2,3,7,8-TCDD
3xlO'5 ug/1 (MCL).
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS:
Institutional controls, including deed, land, and ground
water use restrictions, will be implemented.

OGDEN DEFENSE DEPOT (OPERABLE UNIT 1), UT
June 26, 1992
REGION 8
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION;
Since 1941, the 1,100-acre Ogden Defense Depot
(DDOU) site, located in Ogden, Weber County, Utah,
has been a key installation in the Department of
Defense supply system. Land use in the surrounding
area is predominantly residential. In the past, both
liquid and solid materials have been disposed of at
this site. Oily liquid materials and combustible
solvents were burned in pits, and solid materials were
buried, burned, or taken offsite for disposal. In 1979,
the U.S. Army Toxic and Hazardous Materials
Agency (US ATHMA) identified three locations on the
DDOU where hazardous materials might have been
used, stored, treated, or disposed of. A USATHMA
1980 report then broke the three locations into about
40 separate areas. Operable Unit 1, which is located
in the southwest part of the DDOU, is composed of
the backfill material in the Plain City Canal, Burial
Site 1, and Burial Site 3-B. The Plain City Canal
was an irrigation canal that flowed between two
branches of Mill Creek until it was backfilled from
1969 to 1973 with burning-pit debris from Burial
Site 4-A. During 1988, a soil-gas survey revealed
that a portion of the Plain City Canal backfill was the
apparent source of elevated VOCs in the soil gas.
Burial Site 1 was reported to have been used for the
disposal of riot control agent (chloroacetophenone)
and white smoke (hexachloroethane) containers in the
1940's. In the early 1960's, Burial Site 3-B was
reportedly the burying ground for over 1,000 arctic-
style rubber boots. The DDOU, with concurrence
from the state and EPA, has elected to divide the site
into four operable units. This ROD addresses a final
remedy for OU1 that will reduce the principal threats
posed by contaminated soil and shallow ground water
at the site. The final remedy for OU2, which
addresses soil and ground water in the french drain
area, the pesticide storage area, and the parade ground
area, is currently under construction. The primary
contaminants of concern affecting the soil, debris, and
ground water are VOCs, including TCE; other
organics, including dioxins and pesticides; and metals,
including arsenic and lead.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
excavating and transporting 4,000 cubic yards of
contaminated soil and debris offsite to a RCRA
permitted hazardous waste or industrial landfill;
backfilling the area with clean fill; extracting and
treating contaminated ground water onsite using air
stripping to remove contaminants, adding a GAC
system to the air stripper if dioxins and furans are
detected in the effluent at concentrations above the
proposed MCL for dioxins and furans; transporting
wastes from the ground water treatment process,
including any spent carbon offsite for incineration,
stabilization/fixation or disposal; recharging the
aquifer with the treated water using injection wells;
monitoring air emissions; and monitoring ground
water. The estimated present worth cost for this
remedial action is $2,200,000, which includes an
annual O&M cost of $146,000 for 7 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS;
Chemical-specific soil clean-up goals are health-risk
based and include dioxin 0.001 mg/kg; arsenic
35 mg/kg; zinc 1,500 mg/kg; and lead 500 mg/kg.
Chemical-specific ground water clean-up goals are
also health-risk based and include cis-1,2-
dichloroethene 70 ug/1; TCE 5 ug/1; and vinyl chloride
2ug/l.

OGDEN DEFENSE DEPOT (OPERABLE UNIT 3), UT
September 28, 1992
REGION 8
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The site is part of the 1,100-acre Ogden Defense
Depot (Operable Unit 3) site is a key installation in
the Department of Defense (DOD) supply system in
Ogden, Weber County, Utah. Land use in the area is
predominantly rural and residential. The site overlies
both a shallow and a deep aquifer, which appear to be
hydraulically connected. Since 1941, oily liquid
materials and combustible solvents have been burned
in pits, and solid materials have been buried onsite,
burned, or removed for offsite disposal. Several
waste disposal areas have been identified on property
previously or currently controlled by the Defense
Distribution Depot Ogden, Utah (DDOU). The main
onsite waste disposal areas include (1) the WWII
Mustard Agent Storage Facility; (2) the Burial Site 3-
A (consisting of four subareas: Chemical Warfare
Agent (CWA) Identification Kit, Riot Control and
Smoke Grenade, Miscellaneous Items, and
Compressed Gas Cylinder Reburial Areas); and (3)
the Water Purification Tablet Burial Area. From
1942 to 1946, over 1 million pounds of mustard agent
were stored at the WW II Mustard Storage Facility.
In 1946, the containers were moved to Dugway
Proving Ground, Utah, and subsequent onsite
sampling indicated no current contamination in this
area. From the 1950's to 1960's, items also were
buried intermittently at Burial Site 3-A. During a
1988 Army site investigation, chemical warfare
agents, VOCs, including TCE, and heavy metals were
detected in the onsite soil samples from the CWA
Identification Kit Burial Area. Pressurized gas
cylinders with unknown contents were found in the
Compressed Gas Cylinder Reburial Area, and bottles
containing halzone water purification tablets were
found in the Water Purification Tablet Burial Area.
In 1991, investigations confirmed that ground water
underlying the site was also contaminated by VOCs.
The site has been divided into four operable units for
remediation. A 1992 ROD addressed the reduction of
the principal threat posed by contaminated soil and
shallow ground water, as OU4. This ROD addresses
the potential threats to future onsite residents and
Depot workers posed by contaminated soil and debris,
as OU3. Another 1992 ROD will address the
contaminated ground water underlying the site, as
OU1. The primary contaminants of concern affecting
the soil and debris are organics, including pesticides;
metals, including arsenic; and other inorganics.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
excavating, handsorting, and mechanically sieving
530 cubic yards of contaminated soil and debris from
the Chemical W arfare Agent Identification Kit and the
Riot Control and Smoke Grenade burial areas;
incinerating offsite any debris or soil contaminated by
chemical warfare agents or grenade fragments at a
DOD facility; excavating soil and debris from the
Miscellaneous Items Burial Area, and treating soil and
debris that does not meet TCLP treatment standards
using solidification, or another appropriate technology
prior to disposal in an offsite RCRA landfill along
with the untreated debris; returning excavated soil that
meets criteria to the excavated areas; excavating and
disposing of offsite compressed gas cylinders and the
water purification tablet bottles from the Compressed
Gas Cylinder and Water Purification Tablet Burial
Areas. The total cost for this remedial action is
$393,000. There are no O&M costs associated with
this remedial action.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Chemical-specific soil clean-up goals are based on a
future residential exposure scenario, which was
calculated under a residential ingestion scenario where
a person was assumed to be exposed as a 15-kg child
ingesting 200 mg of soil per day for 6 years, and also
a 70-kg adult ingesting 100 mg of soil per day for
24 years. These include arsenic 35 mg/kg and
mercury 2 mg/kg.

OGDEN DEFENSE DEPOT (OPERABLE UNIT 4), UT
September 28, 1992
REGION 8
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 1,100-acre Ogden Defense Depot site has been a
key installation in the Department of Defense (DOD)
supply system in Ogden, Weber County, Utah. Land
use in the area is predominantly residential. In the
past, both liquid and solid materials have been buried,
burned, or disposed of in several areas at the Defense
Distribution Depot, Ogden, Utah (DDOU). These
areas have been divided into four operable units.
OU4 is composed of Burial Sites 4-A through 4-E.
From the 1950's to 1975, a records search of Burial
Site 4-A indicated that approximately 14,000 pounds
of waste material were disposed of in this area each
month. In addition, approximately 40 gallons of
waste oils per day were collected in drums and
disposed of onsite in 4A. Burial Sites 4-B and 4-E
operated as a waste oil/holding/burning pit. From
1969 to 1972, Burial Site 4-C was operated as a
sanitary landfill. From the mid- 1940's to mid- 1960's,
methyl bromide cylinders were reportedly disposed of
in Burial Site 4-D; however, during site
investigations, only large quantities of halazone water
purification tablets contained in bottles were
encountered. From the mid-1950's to mid-1960's,
Burial Site 4-E was used as an oil holding/burning pit
for waste oils and spent solvents, and industrial
wastes produced from various processes on the Depot.
This ROD addresses the five burial sites as OU4.
DDOU's analysis indicated that the soil in Burial Site
4-E is the primary source of ground water
contamination, whereas Burial Site 4-A is considered
a potential secondary source. OU4 is the third final
response action and its goal is to reduce the principal
threat posed by contaminated soil and shallow ground
water that may occur as a result of future exposure of
residents or onsite workers. The ROD for OU1 is
under review, OU2 is being implemented, and the
ROD for OU3 is being prepared. The primary
contaminants of concern affecting the soil, debris, and
ground water are VOCs, including benzene; other
organics, including pesticides and PCBs; and metals,
including arsenic, chromium, and lead.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION;
The selected remedial action for this site includes
excavating and transporting offsite approximately
4,500 cubic yards of contaminated soil, debris, and
approximately 400 cubic yards of water purification
tablets for disposal at a RCRA landfill; conducting
TCLP tests to confirm the characteristics of excavated
soil and debris and to determine their suitability for
land disposal; treating any soil and debris failing
TCLP offsite using activated carbon, other
stabilization/fixation methods, or, for dioxins,
incineration; excavating and removing any
contaminated cylinders for offsite treatment and
disposal; backfilling excavated areas with clean fill
and soil, with revegetation; extracting and treating
onsite 65 million gallons of contaminated ground
water using air stripping to remove VOCs and carbon
adsorption to remove organics followed by reinjection
into the shallow aquifer; monitoring ground water and
air emissions; and removing wastes generated during
the treatment process offsite for disposal or
incineration. The present worth cost for this remedial
action ranges from $3,800,000 to $4,500,000, which
includes an estimated annual O&M cost of $230,000
for 12 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Chemical-specific soil clean-up goals are based on the
TBC remediation criterion for PCBs of 25 mg/kg
(EPA Directive 9355.4-01FS) and the TBC criterion
for dioxins of 0.001 mg/1 (General Approach Used by
the Dioxin Disposal Advisory Group Regarding
Pentachlorophenol Waste). All remaining goals are
based on a future residential exposure scenario and
include benzene 210 mg/kg (cancer risks of 10"5);
arsenic 35 mg/kg (cancer risk of 10"4); and lead
500 mg/kg. Chemical-specific ground water clean-up
goals are based on federal MCLs for benzene
0.005 mg/1; cis-l,2-DCE 0.070 mg/1; vinyl chloride
0.002 mg/1; and PCBs 0.005 mg/1.

PORTLAND CEMENT (KILN DUST #2 & #3), UT
March 31, 1992
REGION 8
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 71-acre Portland Cement (Kiln Dust #2 & #3)
site, located in a primarily industrial/commercial area
of Salt Lake City, Utah, consists of three separate but
adjacent properties known as Site 2, Site 3, and the
West Site. The area surrounding the site is
characterized by dense residential and agricultural
land, as well as highly commercialized and
industrialized development in the immediate vicinity
of the site. Between 1959 and 1983, the Portland
Cement Company, which was purchased by Lone Star
Industries in 1979, deposited approximately
495,000 cubic yards of waste cement kiln dust (CKD)
on each of the three properties comprising the site.
Waste CKD, which consists primarily of heavy metals
and other inorganics, is highly alkaline.
Approximately 360 tons of chromium-bearing
refractory bricks were disposed of with the waste
CKD. In 1984, Lone Star voluntarily began
environmental investigations at the site, which
included installing ground water monitoring wells.
The first remedial action (OU1) selected in 1990
addressed the removal of the waste CKD and
temporary onsite storage of the chromium bricks.
The waste CKD, the primary source of contamination
of onsite soil, will be removed during the OU1
remedial action. This ROD addresses the onsite
contaminated soil and chrome-bearing bricks that
provide a potential source of ground water
contamination onsite. The selected remedy for the
OU2 action reduces principal threats and prevents
further contamination of the ground water. Ground
water contamination will be addressed as either a
separate operable unit or under the 5-year review of
the OU1 remedial action. The primary contaminants
of concern affecting the soil and waste CKD are
metals, including arsenic, chromium, and lead.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
excavating approximately 27,000 cubic yards of soil
with concentrations greater than lead 500 mg/kg or
arsenic 70 mg/kg, with onsite solidification of soil
with concentrations of lead equal to or above 5 mg/1,
based on TCLP analysis; treating approximately
360 tons of chrome-bearing bricks onsite using
chemical fixation, followed by solidification;
transporting all excavated and treated material offsite
to an appropriate disposal facility; placing an 18-inch
protective cover of clean fill over the entire site; and
implementing institutional controls including deed
restrictions, as necessary. The estimated present
worth cost for this remedial action is $6,400,000.
O&M costs for the selected remedial action are
assumed to be negligible.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Treatment levels for soil are dictated by federal Land
Disposal Regulations (LDRs) and state solid waste
disposal regulations. Soil will be treated to 5 ug/1
lead, or less, as measured by TCLP before land
disposal; chrome-bearing bricks will be treated to
5 mg/kg by TCLP analysis prior to disposal. Federal
and state air regulations on total suspended
particulates and fugitive dust control will apply.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS:
Institutional controls and deed restrictions will be
imposed as necessary to ensure the effectiveness of
the remedy and to prevent exposure to highly alkaline
soil. The length of time during which controls are
needed will be determined during remedial design.

ROCKY FLATS PLANT (USDOE) (OPERABLE UNIT 2), CO
September 1, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION;
The Rocky Flats Plant (USDOE) (Operable Unit 2)
site is part of the 6,550-acre Department of Energy
(DOE) nuclear weapons research, development,
production, and plutonium processing complex in
Jefferson County Colorado. The plant is composed of
the 450-acre Rocky Flats Plant (RFP) security area
and the remaining buffer area. Land use in the area
is predominantly rural and agricultural with several
new residential areas under development. In addition,
a wetland area is located 1,000 feet from the site.
The South Walnut Creek Basin and Woman Creek
surface water serve as a source of drinking water.
Since 1951, DOE has used the site for manufacturing
components for nuclear weapons, processing
plutonium, and fabricating, machining, and
assembling components from metals. A number of
past onsite production and waste storage activities
resulted in extensive site contamination. During the
1950's and 1960's, solvents and reactive metals
including lithium were destroyed onsite. From 1958
to 1967, drums containing radioactive contaminated
oils and solvents were stored onsite, with some of the
drums corroding and leaking approximately 5,000
gallons of liquid into the soil. Prior to 1968, sanitary
sewage sludge and flattened drums contaminated with
uranium and plutonium were disposed of in onsite
trenches, and drums of uranium-contaminated oil were
burned in onsite pits. In addition, various bottled
gases were detoxified onsite between 1982 and 1983.
Current waste handling practices involve onsite and
offsite recycling of hazardous materials, and offsite
disposal of solid radioactive materials at another DOE
facility. DOE has conducted a number of
investigations that revealed VOCs, metals, and
radionuclides above background levels in soil,
sediment, ground water, and surface water. A 1969
clean-up action attempted to remove corroded and
leaking drums of radioactive waste from an onsite
area, remove contaminated soil, and cap the soil.
During the clean-up and removal effort winds
distributed plutonium to the south and east. In 1970,
approximately 1,405 additional drums containing
radioactive waste were removed and disposed of
offsite. A 1990 ROD addressed contaminated ground
water. This ROD addresses OU2, which includes the
903 Pad and Lip Area, Mound Area, and East
Trenches Area, which are located southeast of the
Rocky Flats Plant, and provides an interim remedy for
contaminated soil and ground water. The primary
contaminants of concern affecting the soil and ground
water are VOCs, including PCE, TCE, toluene, and
xylenes; other organics; metals, including arsenic,
chromium, and lead; other inorganics; and radioactive
materials.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected interim remedial action for this site
includes constructing an in-situ vacuum-enhanced soil
vapor extraction system to perform pilot scale
remedial tests; filtering extracted vapor using granular
activated carbon, with offsite regeneration of spent
carbon; installing ground water depression pumps at
the East Trenches Area to expose residual DNAPLs
not released through vapor extraction; collecting vapor
extraction condensates and ground water in onsite
ground water holding tanks; and transporting the
condensates and ground water offsite for treatment at
a POTW; monitoring radiation levels during
equipment construction; mitigating any affected
wetlands; and implementing a full scale remediation
if pilot scale test results show a 1 ppm hydrocarbon
recovery rate. No costs were provided for this
remedial action.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Soil and ground water clean-up goals are based on
health based criteria of 10"4 to 10"6 levels for cancer
risk, background levels, and SDWA MCLs and
MCLGs. They include chemical-specific goals for
ground water for: acetone 10 ug/1; TCE 5 ug/1; xylene
10,000 ug/1; toluene 1,000 ug/1; methylene chloride
5 ug/1; aluminum 0.2 mg/1; antimony 0.6 mg/1; arsenic

ROCKY FLATS PLANT (USDOE) (OPERABLE UNIT 4), CO
Aprils, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The Rocky Flats Plant (USDOE) (Operable Unit 4)
site is part of the 6,500-acre nuclear weapons
research, development, production, and plutonium
processing complex in Jefferson County, Colorado.
The plant is composed of the 450-acre Rocky Flats
Plant (RFP) security area and the remaining buffer
area. Land use in the area is predominantly rural,
agricultural, commercial, and industrial, with several
residential areas within 5 miles of the site. Since
1951, the Department of Energy (DOE) has used the
site for manufacturing components of nuclear
weapons; processing plutonium; and fabricating,
machining, and assembling components from metals.
The central portion of RFP contains the Solar
Evaporation Pond (SEPs) Waste Management Unit,
including Ponds 207-A, 207-B North, 207-B Center,
207-B South, 207-C, and the Interceptor Trench
System (ITS). The SEPs were formerly used to store
and treat liquid process waste having less than
100,000 picocuries per liter of total long-lived alpha
activity. These process wastes also contained high
concentrations of nitrates as well as treated acidic
wastes containing aluminum hydroxide. The ponds
are known to have received other wastes, including
sanitary sewer sludge, lithium chloride, lithium metal,
sodium nitrate, ferric chloride, sulfuric acid,
ammonium persulfates, hydrochloric acid, nitric acid,
hexavalent chromium, tritium, and cyanide solutions.
Sludge from the SEPs was removed periodically to
implement repair work on the pond liners and as part
of routine waste management activities. Removed
sludge was mixed with Portland cement and solidified
as a mixture of sludge and concrete for shipment for
offsite disposal. In 1986, placement of process waste
material into these ponds ceased. From 1971 to 1974,
construction of interceptor trenches was initiated to
prevent natural seepage and pond leakage from
entering North Walnut Creek. In 1981, the system
was replaced by the current ITS, which collects an
estimated 4 million gallons per year for discharge to
the 207-B ponds. This interim ROD addresses
management and treatment of liquids contained in
ponds 207-A, 207-B North, 207-B Center, 207-B
South, and the water collected by the ITS as the OU4
at the site. Future RODs will address removal and
solidification of sludge, further investigation,
characterization, and remedial activities. The primary
contaminants of concern affecting the surface water
are VOCs, including TCE; metals, including
chromium; and radioactive materials, including Pu"239
and Am241
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected interim remedial action for this site
includes constructing and utilizing three temporary
surge tanks and associated piping to contain and
transfer water collected by the ITS; evaporating
approximately 3 million gallons of water from pond
207-A and 5 million gallons of water from the 207-B
ponds using onsite flash evaporators and associated
tanks; transferring the distillate to a holding tank for
reinjection into the Raw Water System for plant
cooling tower usage; and collecting the flash
evaporator concentrate in holding tanks, and onsite
solidification of the residual; conducting treatability
studies using surrogate pond water to simulate the
proposed treatment system. The estimated total cost
for this interim remedial action is $8,017,000, which
includes an annual O&M cost of $1,170,000 for 3
years.

SILVER BOW CREEK/BUTTE AREA, MT
June 30, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The Silver Bow Creek/Butte Area site is a mining and
processing area located 7 miles east of Anaconda in
the Upper Clark Fork River Basin, Deer Lodge
County, Montana. One part of the site is the Warm
Springs Pond inactive area, which covers
approximately 2,500 acres of open pond water and
interspersed wetlands just above the beginning of the
Clark Fork River. Several onsite creeks (Warm
Springs, Silver Bow, Mill, Willow) and a stream by-
pass (Mill-Willow By-pass) serve as principal
headwaters to Clark Fork River. Three settling ponds,
an area between the northern-most pond (Pond 1) and
the Clark Fork River's beginning point, and a series
of wildlife ponds are located in proximity to the
creeks. Site contamination is the result of over 100
years of mining and process operations in the area.
Until the early 1970's, mining, milling, and smelting
wastes were dumped directly into Silver Bow Creek
and transported downstream. Three settling ponds
were constructed in the early 1900's by Anaconda
Copper Mining Company to allow wastes that were
deposited in Silver Bow Creek to settle out before
discharging to the Clark Fork River. Approximately
19 million cubic yards of tailings and metal-
contaminated sediment and sludge have collected in
the ponds and 3 million cubic yards of contaminated
tailings remain upstream of the ponds along the banks
of Silver Bow Creek. Principal threats from the site
include the possibility of pond berm failure attributed
to flood and earthquake damage that could release
millions of cubic yards of tailings and sediment into
the river. Several removal actions that occurred
during 1967 and 1989 have been or will be
implemented at the site, including the Mill-Willow
By-pass removal, Travona Mine Shaft Control, and
residential soil cleanups. A 1990 ROD addressed an
interim action for the Warm Springs Ponds area,
which included Ponds 1, 2, and 3, but deferred the
decision on the area below Pond 1 for a year. When
it was recognized that a decision on Pond 1 and the
area below it might delay the remedy for Ponds 2 and
3, in 1991 EPA wrote an BSD that divided the Warm
Springs Pond area into two operable units: the Active
area, composed of Ponds 2 and 3, as OU4; and the
Inactive area, composed of Pond 1 and the area below
it, as OU12. This ROD addresses an interim remedy
for all media at OU12. The primary contaminants of
concern affecting the soil, sediment, ground water,
and surface water in the Inactive area are metals,
including arsenic, chromium, and lead; and
inorganics.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
excavating all tailings and contaminated soil from the
by-pass channel and the area below Pond 1 not
planned for wet-closure, and consolidating the wastes
over existing dry tailings within the western portion
of Pond 1; placing a cover of lime, fill, and soil over
the dry tailings and revegetating; modifying the by-
pass channel to safely route potential flood flows;
using soil and gravel that meet geotechnical
requirements and have copper levels of less than
500 mg/kg to raise and strengthen existing berms;
constructing new berms; raising and strengthening the
north-south aspect of the Pond 1 berm, and stabilizing
the east-west aspect of the Pond 1 berm to withstand
a maximum credible earthquake for this area;
extending and armoring the north-south aspect of the
Pond 1 berm; relocating the lowermost portion of the
by-pass channel, converting the present channel into
a ground water interception trench; installing pumps
to allow for a pump-back system to transport ground
water and surface water to the active area for
treatment, if levels exceed specified standards;
constructing wet-closure berms to enclose the
submerged tailings and contaminated sediment;
chemically fixing tailings and sediment with lime, and
flooding the wet-closure cells with water with a pH of
greater than 8.5; constructing a run-off interception
system along the east side of the Inactive area and toe
drains, and installing a collection manifold for both
the Active and Inactive areas; and implementing
ecological monitoring and institutional controls,
including deed, ground water, and land use
restrictions. The total present worth cost for this
remedial action is $18,100,000, which includes an
annual O&M cost of $67,200 for 30 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Soil at final excavation grade for this interim action
will exhibit concentrations of metals within the ranges
of: arsenic 8.4-42.1 mg/kg; cadmium 0.8-4 mg/kg;
copper 0.6-287 mg/kg; lead 8.4-45.5 mg/kg; and
zinc 0.4-573. Chemical-specific interim ground water
clean-up goals, which are based on state drinking
water criteria, include arsenic 50 ug/1; cadmium

levels for the various contaminants are not identified
in this ROD and will be determined based on ongoing
risk assessment work at other OUs within the Clark
Fork Basin.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS:
Institutional controls in the form of deed, ground
water, and land use restrictions will be implemented
to prevent residential development; domestic well
construction; disruption of dry-closure caps; and

HASSAYAMPA LANDFILL, AZ
August 6, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION;
The Hassayampa Landfill site is a 10-acre area of a
47-acre municipal landfill that was previously used
for hazardous waste disposal. Land use in the area is
predominantly desert and is sparsely cultivated. The
Hassayampa Landfill lies within the Hassayampa
River drainage area, but outside of the 100-year
floodplain. The estimated 1,100 people who reside
within a 3-mile radius of the site use the aquifer
underlying the site for their drinking water. From
1961 to the present, the Maricopa County Landfill
Department owned and operated the site. Waste
disposed of at the landfill consisted chiefly of
municipal garbage, tree trimmings, and other plant
refuse. In 1979, the state requested that Hassayampa
Landfill accept hazardous waste as an alternate waste
disposal site during a prohibition at City of Phoenix
landfills. In the 18 months that the landfill accepted
hazardous waste, up to 3.28 million tons of liquid
waste and approximately 4,150 tons of solid waste
were deposited. The Hazardous Waste Area consisted
of several unlined pits (pits 1-5) for disposal of heavy
metals, solvents, petroleum distillates, oil, pesticides,
acids, bases, and non-hazardous septic wastes. In
1981, under EPA guidance, a number of
investigations were conducted that revealed VOC
contamination in the soil and ground water. This
ROD addresses the soil, debris, and ground water as
the final action for the site. The primary contaminants
of concern affecting the soil, debris, and ground water
are VOCs and metals, including chromium and lead.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:

IRON MOUNTAIN MINE, CA
September 30, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 4,400-acre Iron Mountain Mine (IMM) site is a
collection of inactive mines and associated property
located on Iron Mountain, Shasta County, California.
Land use in the area is predominantly commercial,
with a wetlands located within 9 miles from the site.
The Sacramento River is a major fishery and source
of drinking water for the City of Redding, which is
located 9 miles east of the site. IMM contains several
inactive underground and open pit mines, numerous
waste piles, abandoned mining facilities, and mine
drainage treatment facilities. From 1879 to present,
several owners, including Rhone-Poulenc Basic
Chemicals, mined copper and other metals, such as
gold, silver, pyrite, and zinc. In 1894, Mountain
Mining Company acquired and began operating the
mine. Mining waste generated was dumped into
ravines and washed into several creeks, including
Boulder and Sacramento. In 1896, Mountain Copper
Company assumed ownership, and mining activities
continued intermittently from the 1880*s until 1962.
In 1968, Stauffer Chemical Company acquired
Mountain Copper and operated a copper cementation
plant. In 1976, the state issued Stauffer Chemical an
order requiring an abatement of the continuing
pollution from IMM. Throughout the years, mining
activities at IMM resulted in deposits of waste rock
and pyrite tailings on the exposed ground surface, in
addition to rain and surface flows, which formed acid
mine drainage and transported contaminants to surface
water and sediments. In 1983, EPA identified IMM
as the largest discharger of toxic metals in the United
States. A 1986 ROD provided limited source control
and management actions to lessen discharge of AMD
to surface waters. This ROD addresses control of the
AMD sources in the Boulder Creek drainage basin
from the Richmond and Lawson portals. Two
planned RODs will address AMD to Slickrock Creek,
sources for Boulder Creek drainage (excluded from
this ROD), contaminated ground water, and other
sources of contamination. The primary contaminants
of concern affecting the sediment, debris, and surface
water are metals, including lead.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION;
The selected remedial action for this site includes
collecting the acid mine drainage from the Richmond
and Lawson portals and constructing pipelines and
necessary structures to transport the drainage into the
treatment facility; treating the acid mine drainage by
chemical neutralization/precipitation using the
lime/sulfide High Density Sludge (HDS) treatment
process, and discharging the treated effluent onsite to
surface water; disposing of the residual sludge onsite
in the inactive open pit mine; excavating,
consolidating onsite, and capping seven waste piles
that are actively eroding and discharging hazardous
substances; and diverting ground water and surface
water away from the landfill. The estimated present
worth cost for this remedial action is $53,958,000,
which includes an annual O&M cost of $27,865,000
for 30 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Sediment and surface water clean-up goals are based
on background levels as established by SWDA MCLs
or health based levels, whichever is more stringent.
Chemical-specific sediment and surface water goals
include antimony 0.006 mg/1; arsenic 0.050 mg/1;
cadmium 0.01 mg/1; and mercury 0.002 mg/1.

JASCO CHEMICAL, CA
September 30, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION;
The 2.05-acre Jasco Chemical site is a chemical
blending and packaging facility in Mountain View,
Santa Clara County, California. Land use in the area
is predominantly residential with some light industry.
An estimated 67,000 residents in the City of
Mountain View use municipal water from wells and
a reservoir as their drinking water supply; however,
EPA has determined that ground water in the shallow
aquifer underlying the site is a potential source of
drinking water. From 1951 to 1976, the site changed
hands several times. In December 1976, Jasco began
repackaging bulk chemicals into smaller quantities
and blending chemicals to produce products, such as
paint thinners and degreasers. Jasco received bulk
chemicals in 55-pound bags and in 55-gallon drums,
and chemicals were stored in eight underground tar-
wrapped storage tanks. In 1984, putty mixing
operations were initiated. As a result of a citizen's
complaint of solvents being dumped onsite, the state
conducted a preliminary ground water investigation in
1984, which showed the presence of
pentachlorophenol and methylene chloride, chemicals
used by Jasco, in the soil and ground water. In 1985,
a subsequent investigation showed the presence of
high levels of contaminated soil in the drainage
swales around the plant. In 1987, Jasco removed a
leaking underground diesel storage tank that had been
installed prior to 1976. Soil sampling in the
immediate area showed the presence of diesel
derivatives, such as PAHs. Since 1987, Jasco has
been extracting and discharging contaminated ground
water to the storm sewer system in accordance with
their permit provisions. In 1990, trace chemicals
placed in the eight underground tanks revealed one
leak below action levels. This ROD addresses
treating tank source materials present in the soil and
ground water and preventing future migration of
contaminants. The primary contaminants of concern
affecting the soil and ground water are VOCs,
including benzene, PCE, TCE, toluene, and xylenes.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
excavating and treating 1,100 cubic yards of
contaminated soil onsite using enhanced biotreatment;
treating air emissions using carbon adsorption, and
treating or disposing of spent carbon offsite; testing
residual soil, with pretreatment if necessary, and
onsite disposal if treatment levels are met, or offsite
disposal if clean up levels are still exceeded;
extracting and treating contaminated ground water
with an onsite liquid phase carbon adsorption unit,
and discharging treated ground water offsite to a
sanitary sewer, as permitted; implementing hydraulic
controls to prohibit future plume migration,
conducting quarterly ground water monitoring; and
implementing institutional controls including deed
restrictions to limit use of ground water. The
estimated present worth cost for this remedial action
ranges from $601,000 to $684,000, which includes a
$32,800 annual O&M cost for 5-10 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS;
Chemical-specific soil clean-up goals are established
on health-based levels estimated using SDWA MCLs
and include 1,1-DCA 0.6 mg/kg; 1,1-DCE 2 mg/kg;

LAWRENCE LIVERMORE NATIONAL LAB (USDOE), CA
Augusts, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION;
The 800-acre Lawrence Livermore National Lab
(LLNL) (USDOE) site is a multidisciplinary research
facility located in Livermore, California. The site is
owned by the Department of Energy (DOE) and
operated by the Regents of the University of
California. Land use in the area is predominantly
industrial with an urban area to the west and
agricultural lands to the east of the LLNL facility.
Wetlands at the site consist of three small areas
associated with culverts that channel runoff from the
surrounding area into Arroyo Las Positas at the
northern perimeter of the site. About 10,000 people
use the ground water, which is blended from several
downtown Livermore municipal wells, as their
primary drinking water supply. The LLNL site was
converted from agricultural and cattle ranch land by
the Navy in 1942, who used the site until 1946 as a
training facility and for aircraft assembly and
maintenance. Solvents, degreasers, and paints were
routinely used. Between 1946 and 1950, the site was
used as a naval reserve command training center, and
in 1951, the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC)
began using the property as a weapons design and
physics research laboratory. In 1977, DOE took over
responsibility of the site. Investigations for suspected
ground water contamination at LLNL were prompted
by the state beginning in 1984, when
perchloroethylene was discovered in the domestic
supply well of a nearby property. LLNL began
supplying bottled water to local residents whose
domestic wells had been affected by solvents
migrating from the LLNL facility. Between 1985 and
1987, the LLNL continued the ground water
investigations, which revealed that releases of
hazardous materials had occurred at the LLNL site
during the 1940's. Also in the post-Navy era,
localized spills, leaking tanks, surface impoundments,
and landfills contributed VOC, FHC, metal, and
tritium contamination to ground water and unsaturated
sediments. Prior to 1985, LLNL conducted two
significant removal actions. From 1982 to 1983, four
former pits in the Taxi Strip Area in eastern LLNL
were excavated and backfilled; in 1984, a former
landfill was also excavated and backfilled. This ROD
addresses a final remedy for the contaminated
sediment and ground water at the LLNL site. An
additional potential source of hazardous materials, the
Trailer 5475 East Taxi Strip Area, has been identified
and is being investigated. If additional public health
or environmental risks from this or other sources are
identified, this ROD may be augmented to address
any additional necessary actions. The primary
contaminants of concern affecting the sediment and
ground water are VOCs, including benzene, PCE,
TCE, and toluene; other organics, including
pesticides; metals, including lead and chromium; and
radioactive materials.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
using vacuum-induced venting to extract contaminants
in vapor form from the onsite unsaturated sediment
and treating using catalytic oxidation and/or activated
carbon; pumping water at 24 initial locations to
contain and remediate the ground water plume using
both existing and new extraction wells; constructing
seven onsite facilities (labelled A to G) to treat the
extracted ground water; designing each treatment
system specifically to treat the specific combinations
of contaminants, including: ultraviolet/oxidation to
treat VOCs at facilities A, B, E, and F; air stripping
to treat the chloroform and carbon tetrachloride at
facilities C, D, and G; ion exchange at facility D to
remove chromium; and granular activated carbon at
treatment facility F to remove lead; controlling air
emissions from the treatment processes at all facilities
using granular activated carbon; recharging or reusing
the treated water onsite; and monitoring ground water.
The estimated present worth cost for this remedial
action is $104,100,000, which includes an annual
O&M cost of $21,585,000 for 50 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Chemical-specific sediment and ground water clean-
up goals are the more stringent SDWA MCLs and
State MCLs and include benzene 1 ug/1; PCE 5 ug/I;
TCE 5 ug/1; lead 15 ug/1; total chromium 50 ug/1;
total trihalomethanes 100 ug/1; and carbon
tetrachloride 0.5 ug/1. Unsaturated sediment will be
remediated only if it would result in levels above an
MCL if allowed to migrate into the ground water.
Unsaturated zone remediation will be complete when
modeling shows that contaminants will no longer
migrate and cause ground water to exceed MCL. The
discharge limits for these chemicals will also be met
if effluent waters from the remedial treatment are
discharged to ditches or arroyos onsite.

PACIFIC COAST PIPELINE, CA
March 31, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 20-acre Pacific Coast Pipeline site, located in
Ventura County, California, is a former petro-
chemical refinery that operated from the 1920's to
1950. The site is currently used by Texaco as a
pumping station for crude oil produced in local oil
fields. Surrounding land use is industrial, agricultural,
and residential. The site is located near the
confluence of three major drainages: the Santa Clara
River, Sespe Creek, and Pole Creek. Prior to the
construction of a flood channel, Pole Creek emptied
directly into the site. Surface water from the site is
either channeled for collection in bermed storage
areas or in excavated pits, or it flows into Pole Creek
through drainage pipes or over the ground's surface.
The San Cayetono Thrust Fault that crosses the site is
associated with areas of natural oil seeps. From 1928
to 1950, refinery wastes were disposed of onsite in a
large main waste pit (MWP) as well as in eight
smaller unlined sumps and pits located on the South
Western portion of the site. Monitoring wells
installed by Texaco have identified 45 chemicals of
potential concern detected at the site, including VOCs,
SVOCs, and TPHs. In 1986, under state guidance,
Texaco removed 33,000 cubic yards of waste material
and contaminated soils from the MWP and the eight
other waste disposal areas. There are currently two
areas of ground water contamination:, one beneath the
MWP and one in the southwest site area. The source
of this ground water contamination is likely associated
with the disposal of refinery wastes in the MWP and
other waste disposal pits. Since the removal of the
refinery wastes in the MWP, concentrations of ground
water contamination have decreased. This ROD
addresses remediation of ground water to reduce
contaminant levels below federal and state drinking
water standards. The principal contaminated media
are soil and ground water. The primary contaminants
of concern affecting the soil in the vadose zone and
ground water are VOCs, including benzene and
toluene; other organics, including PAHs; and metals,
including arsenic, chromium, and lead.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
treating areas that threaten to contaminate ground
water at levels above site clean-up standards using
soil vapor extraction after a 1-year subsurface study;
designing, constructing, and operating an onsite
ground water extraction and treatment system that
uses activated carbon; discharging the treated ground
water to the onsite aquifer by injection, or reuse of
the treated ground water in a beneficial way, such as
irrigation; thermally destroying or regenerating the
spent carbon; monitoring ground water to ensure
effectiveness of the treatment system; and maintaining
a perimeter fence. The estimated present worth cost
for this remedial action ranges from $2,300,000 to
$7,000,000, which includes an annual O&M cost of
$480,000 for 30 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS;
Chemical-specific clean-up goals for ground water in
the aquifer are based on state MCLs, and the TBCs
State Action Level for toluene, including benzene
1 ug/1 (state); 1,2-DCA 0.5 ug/1 (state); ethylbenzene
680 ug/1 (state); methylene chloride 0.1 mg/1; and

PURITY OIL SALES, CA
September 30, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 6.8-acre Purity Oil Sales site is a former waste
oil re-refining facility in the township of Malaga,
Fresno County, California. Land use in the area is
mixed agricultural, industrial, and residential, with the
North Central Canal flowing along the southern
border of the site. The town of Malaga surrounds the
site at distances of about 1/2 mile or more. From
1934 to 1975, waste oil was re-refined onsite using a
number of treatment processes, including clarification,
chemical addition, dehydration, distillation, and
filtration. During its history, the facility has changed
ownership several times, and the property is now in
the custody of the state. Oil and by-products from
the re-refining process were stored in sumps and
tanks and disposed of onsite in unlined pits. In 1973,
at the request of the county, Purity Oil backfilled the
waste pits with soil but did not remove any of the
waste. Recent investigations have revealed that the
most highly contaminated soil is in the former waste
pit areas and extends from the surface to the ground
water, and that the eastern 2.5 acres of the property
demonstrates surface soil contamination to a 2-foot
depth. In 1986 and 1987, two removal actions were
initiated by the state and EPA, which involved
removal of 1,800 cubic yards of hazardous materials
and 30,000 gallons of waste oil and water from an
above-ground tank to be disposed of offsite. A 1989
ROD addressed remediation of the ground water and
tanks, as OU1, and provided for the removal of seven
above-ground tanks and their contents and allowed
private well users downgradient of the site to be
connected to city or county water systems. This ROD
addresses a final remedy for OU2, the contaminated
soil at the site. The primary contaminants of concern
affecting the soil, sediment, and debris are VOCs,
including benzene, PCE, TCE, toluene, and xylenes;
other organics, including PAHs and pesticides; and
metals, including arsenic, chromium, and lead.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
constructing a slurry wall around the perimeter of the
site to minimize migration of contaminants;
excavating approximately 500 cubic yards of
contaminated canal sediment and spreading them over
the site; filling the excavated areas with 8,600 cubic
yards of imported soil; applying foam to control
emissions during excavation and slurry wall
construction; transporting and disposing of rubble
uncovered during the excavation process offsite,
possibly at a RCRA facility; enclosing the entire
length of the North Central Canal in a reinforced
concrete pipe; treating 72,000 cubic yards of deep soil
onsite using a soil vapor extraction (SVE) to remove
VOCs; treating air emissions from the SVE process
using carbon adsorption, prior to discharge to the air;
disposing of spent activated carbon offsite at a
permitted RCRA facility; covering the site with a
RCRA multi-layer cap, with a retaining wall to
support the cap; monitoring ground water; conducting
environmental monitoring to ensure the integrity of
the cap; and implementing institutional controls,
including deed restrictions. The estimated present
worth cost for this remedial action is $36,254,000,
which includes an annual O&M cost of $741,000 for
9.4 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Chemical-specific soil clean-up goals were not
provided; however, vadose zone monitoring will be
performed to ensure that the SVE system is reducing
the VOC mass so that it no longer threatens to
contaminate ground water at levels above SDWA
MCLs.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS:
Institutional controls in the form of deed restrictions
will be implemented to protect the cap and prohibit
future excavation.

RHONE-POULENC/ZOECON, CA
March 4, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 13.19-acre Rhone-Poulenc/Zoecon site is located
in East Palo Alto, San Mateo County, California The
site is composed of at least 12 separately owned
parcels that include a 5.19-acre former pesticide
manufacturing plant, a sludge pond, and a chemical
storage facility owned by Sandoz Crop Protection
Corporation. From the late 1950's to the early
1970's, another parcel at the site, called the Call-Mac
Property, was used to store hazardous waste drums
some of which were leaking. Land use in the area is
mostly industrial with some mixed commercial and
residential use within one-fourth mile of the site. The
site is located approximately 2,000 feet from San
Francisco Bay within the 100-year coastal floodplain,
and is bounded on the east and southeast by tidal and
nontidal marshes (wetlands). Surface and subsurface
drainage affect surface and ground water that has
numerous existing and potential beneficial uses.
From 1929 to 1972 until Zoecon Corporation
purchased the site, pesticides containing arsenic were
manufactured and packaged onsite. In 1980, an
investigation by the new site owners revealed severe
contamination of soil and ground water with arsenic,
which resulted from improper handling of pesticides
during unloading. In 1981, the state directed the
removal of 1,300 drums and 25 cubic yards of
contaminated soil from the Call-Mac Property. From
1985 to 1987, ground water monitoring wells and
fencing around contaminated soil were installed. In
1991, the state required removal of approximately
4,000 cubic yards of contaminated soil; however, the
Sandoz parcel is currently a state-permitted RCRA
facility for the storage and disposal of hazardous
wastes. This ROD addresses the contaminated soil
and ground water in the upland operable unit. A
future ROD will address remediation of the wetlands
operable unit. The primary contaminants of concern
affecting the soil, debris, and ground water are metals,
including arsenic and lead.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
excavating and removal of any offsite soil from areas
at the Sandoz and Bains properties with arsenic levels
greater than 5,000 mg/kg; removing or paving over
soil for properties other than Sandoz and Bains, with
arsenic levels greater than health-based levels of
70 mg/kg; treating soil at the Sandoz and Bains
properties contaminated with arsenic levels greater
than 500 mg/kg onsite using silicate stabilization;
excavating and treating contaminated soil from
beneath onsite structures after future demolition using
stabilization; installing a slurry wall and dewatering
around an area of approximately 76,800 cubic yards
of arsenic-contaminated soil and the ground water
remaining after soil remediation; installing a cap and
liner on the currently unpaved portions of the Sandoz
property, the Bains railroad track area, and portions of
the adjacent properties; monitoring ground water with
a contingency that, if arsenic exceeds 40 ug/1 in
perimeter wells or background levels in the deep
aquifer, ground water treatment will be performed to
contain the plume; and implementing institutional
controls including deed restrictions for the Sandoz and
Bains properties and other areas where paving is
selected. The estimated present worth cost for this
remedial action is $9,100,000, which includes a total
O&M of $1,100,000 for 30 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
The chemical-specific clean-up standard for soil is
based on the health-based standard for arsenic
300 mg/kg. Ground water is based on state and
SDWA MCLs for arsenic 50 ug/1.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS:
Institutional controls, including deed restrictions, will
be implemented to prohibit future residential use.

SACRAMENTO ARMY DEPOT (OPERABLE UNIT 3), CA
December 9, 1991
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION;
The 485-acre Sacramento Army Depot (SAAD) is a
U.S. Army support, service, and storage facility
located approximately 7 miles southeast of the City of
Sacramento, California. Land use in the area is
predominantly commercial and light industrial, with
residential areas located mainly to the west. An
estimated 56,000 people obtain water from a deep
aquifer that is not considered to be contaminated by
the facility. However, some wells in the surrounding
area draw water from the upper aquifers. Past and
present activities conducted at SAAD include electro-
optics equipment repair, the emergency manufacture
of parts, shelter repair, and metal treating. The
primary waste-generating activities included metal-
plating and painting. In conjunction with these
activities, SAAD maintains several above- and below-
ground storage tanks, some unlined lagoons and burn
pits, a battery disposal area, a firefighter training area,
and a pesticide mixing area. As a result of a late
1970's U.S. Army initiative, a 1981 onsite
investigation of SAAD revealed multiple chemical
contamination from numerous sources within the
facility. Ground water remediation was addressed in
a previous ROD. In the past, Tank 2 was used as a
waste solvent underground storage tank. In 1980, the
tank was emptied, and in 1986 the tank was removed.
Sampling and analysis of the soil under and around
the tank showed that solvent contamination was
confined to the soil well above ground water level
(aquifer). A 1989 ROD addressed contaminated
ground water associated with onsite bum pits. This
ROD addresses the final remedial action for
approximately 1,000 cubic yards of contaminated soil
associated with Tank 2 (OU3). Future RODs will
address contamination occurring at the oxidation
lagoons, the burn pits, the pesticide mixing area, the
battery disposal well, building #320 leach field, and
the firefighter training area. The primary
contaminants of concern affecting the soil are VOCs,
including PCE and xylenes; and other organics,
including PAHs and pesticides.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
constructing and installing an onsite soil vapor
extraction system to remove VOCs from contaminated
soil; dehumidifying the air stream and treating the
collected water vapor using UV/hydrogen peroxide;
treating air emissions using granular activated carbon
and transporting the residual carbon offsite for
recycling and treatment; monitoring air emissions
during the treatment process; and sampling media
after 6 months to determine compliance with clean-up
standards. The estimated present worth cost for this
selected remedial action is $614,414. No O&M costs
are associated with this selected remedial action.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Chemical-specific soil clean-up levels are based on
health-based criteria of reducing the noncarcinogenic
HI to approximately 1 and include 2-butanone (MEK)
1.2 mg/kg; ethylbenzene 6 mg/kg; PCE 0.2 mg/kg;
and total xylenes 23 mg/kg.

SACRAMENTO ARMY DEPOT (OPERABLE UNIT 4), CA
September 30, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION;
The 485-acre Sacramento Army Depot (SAAD) site
is a military facility in Sacramento County, California,
Land use in the area is predominantly commercial and
light industrial, with wetlands in the vicinity of
several oxidation lagoons. The estimated 56,398
people who live within 2 to 3 miles of the site use
municipal water as their drinking water supply. From
1950 to 1972, the lagoons received mostly industrial
waste water from metal plating processes and
domestic wastewater. Domestic wastewater was
treated in the sewage treatment plant prior to
discharge to the lagoons. Concentrated, untreated
rinse water generated by metal plating operations was
diluted with large volumes of water and then directed
to the lagoons. Since the Army began investigating
possible contamination at SAAD, eight operable units
have been identified that may require remediation.
This operable unit (OU4) consists of four lagoons,
several drainage ditches, and the neighboring Old
Morrison Creek. As a result of a 1981 investigation
by the Army and the state, VOCs were detected in
ground water and 11 heavy metals up to
concentrations of 10,900 mg/kg were found in the
oxidation lagoon pits. A 1989 ROD addressed OU1,
the ground water, and a 1991 ROD addressed
contaminated soil at Tank 2. This ROD addresses
OU4, the metal-contaminated soil at the oxidation
lagoons. Future OUs will address other potential
risks posed by the site and a final ROD will
comprehensively address all contaminated areas at
SAAD. The primary contaminants of concern
affecting the soil are metals, including arsenic,
chromium, and lead.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
excavating and treating approximately 15,500 cubic
yards of contaminated soil onsite using soil washing;
dewatering and then backfilling the treated soil onsite
in the excavation areas, and storing the rinsate
temporarily in onsite holding tanks for recycling;
treating rinsate from the treatment process using
chemical precipitation, clarification/flocculation, and
chemical coagulation to remove metals, prior to
discharge into the sanitary sewer; dewatering the
sludge containing the precipitated metals, and
stabilizing this if necessary, followed by disposal in
a RCRA landfill or recovery at an offsite reclamation
unit. The estimated present worth cost for this
remedial action is $5,020,000. There are no O&M
costs associated with this remedial action.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS;
Chemical-specific soil clean-up goals are based on
PHE for the primary metals of concern including
arsenic 5 mg/kg; cadmium 40 mg/kg; and lead
174 mg/kg. A treatability variance from LDR
requirements is likely. Achievable treatment levels
will be set by field pilot tests employing the selected
technology.

WESTINGHOUSE ELECTRIC (SUNNYVALE PLANT), CA
October 16, 1991
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 75-acre Westinghouse Electric (Sunnyvale Plant)
site is an active industrial facility located in
Sunnyvale, Santa Clara Valley, California. The site
currently manufactures steam generators, marine
propulsion systems, and missile-launching systems for
the U.S. Government. The area around the site has
been developed for light industrial, commercial, and
residential uses. A building (Building 21) used for
transformer manufacturing exists onsite. In the mid-
1950s, Westinghouse Electric (Sunnyvale Plant)
manufactured transformers containing both Inerteen,
which is a dense, non-aqueous phase liquid (DNAPL)
consisting of PCBs and trichlorobenzene, and mineral
oil as thermal insulating fluids. The storage and use
of Inerteen and mineral oil resulted in contamination
of soil and two shallow aquifers beneath the site. In
addition, general handling practices and the onsite use
of Inerteen as a weed killer resulted in the release of
PCBs into soil. In 1981, Westinghouse conducted site
investigations. In 1984 and 1985, Westinghouse,
under state orders, removed PCB-contaminated soil
along fence lines and railroad spurs. During these
investigations, evidence of fuel hydrocarbon leakage
to soil and ground water was discovered coming from
two underground fuel tanks. One tank was removed
under state orders, and the remaining tank is slated
for removal during the remedial action phase of site
work. This ROD addresses remediation of the
contaminated shallow ground water and soil, which
pose the primary risks at the site. The primary
contaminants of concern affecting the soil and ground
water are PCBs, solvents, and fuel compounds.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
excavating approximately 400 cubic yards of
contaminated soil containing greater than
25 mg/kg PCB to a depth of eight feet and
incinerating the soil at an offsite federally permitted
facility; filling the excavated areas with clean soil and
installing an asphalt cap; permanent containment of
the shallow contaminated ground water onsite where
DNAPLs are detected using extraction; treating
contaminated ground water onsite using a technology
to be selected during the remediation design phase
based on the results of future treatability and bench-
scale studies, which may include using phase
separation, membrane or carbon filtration, ultraviolet/
chemical oxidation, air stripping, and a carbon polish,
with offsite disposal and incineration of any product
phase recovered, spent carbon, and/or filtration
membranes; discharging the treated ground water
onsite unless an alternative end-use for the treated
effluent can be implemented; notifying EPA of any
future intention to cease operations, abandon,
demolish, or perform construction in Building 21;
monitoring ground water; and implementing
institutional controls including deed and land use
restrictions. The estimated present worth cost for this
remedial action is $8,263,000, which includes an
annual O&M cost of $225,000 for 30 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
EPA is invoking a waiver of the requirement to meet
the MCL for PCB-contaminated ground water in the
source area where DNAPL is detected based upon the
technical impracticability of remediation. Soil
containing greater than 25 mg/kg PCB will be
excavated to a depth of 8 feet, based on EPA
guidance for PCB remediation at CERCLA sites with
restricted access. The 25 mg/kg clean-up standard is
a To Be Considered (TBC) criterion. Chemical-
specific ground water clean-up goals are based on the
more stringent of state or federal SDWA MCLs,
including benzene 1 ug/kg (state); TCE 5 ug/kg
(federal); toluene 1,000 ug/kg (federal); xylenes
1,750 ug/kg (state); and PCB 0.5 ug/kg (federal).
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS;
Deed and land use restrictions will be implemented to
prevent well construction in contaminated areas and
to restrict excavation below 8 feet where
contaminated soil remains.

ARRCOM (DREXLER ENTERPRISE), ID
June 30, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 1.2-acre Arrcom (Drexler Enterprise) site is an
abandoned waste oil recycling facility located
2.5 miles southwest of Rathdrum, Idaho. The facility
is situated in a rural residential area, and there are an
estimated eight residences within a one-half mile
radius of the site. The site overlies the Spokane
Valley-Rathdrum Prairie Aquifer, a sole source for
public and private drinking water for approximately
350,000 people. From 1960 to 1982, Arrcom used
the site for oil recycling operations, which included
an oil/water separation process, a shaking process to
facilitate sedimentation, and a heating process for
demulsification. Waste oil and recycled oil were
stored in 27 tanks and 4 tank trucks. Sludge and
waste oils were discarded in three disposal pits on the
property or used for dust suppression on the road. In
1982, the site was abandoned, and investigations by
EPA later that year revealed soil and waste oils
contaminated with high levels of solvents, lead, and
PCBs. Emergency response activities were conducted
under EPA's removal program between 1983 and
1990. In 1983,9,700 gallons of waste oils from tanks
and 137 cubic yards of contaminated soil were
removed offsite. In 1987, 13,225 gallons of waste
oils and sludge and 2,000 cubic yards of soil were
removed from tanks and onsite disposal pits. Also, in
1990,1,653 tons of contaminated soil were excavated
and sent offsite to hazardous waste incinerators or
landfills. Residential ground water wells were
sampled and ground water monitoring wells also were
installed. This ROD addresses the final remedy for
the Arrcom site. Previous removal actions have
eliminated the need to conduct any remedial actions
at the site. Therefore, there are no contaminants of
concern affecting this site.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION;
The selected remedial action for this site is no further
action, which is based on the post-removal soil and
ground water sampling, supplemental remedial soil
and ground water sampling, and the risk assessment.
Removal actions onsite have reduced concentrations
of contaminants in the soil to levels that do not pose
a risk to human health and the environment. There
are no costs associated with this no action remedy.

BANGOR ORDNANCE DISPOSAL (USN SUBMARINE BASE), WA
December 10, 1991
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 12-acre Bangor Ordnance Disposal (USN
Submarine Base) site is located in the northern
portion of the U.S. Naval Submarine Base Bangor
(SUBASE) in Kitsap County, Washington. The Site
A portion of the site consists of a 6-acre burn area,
debris area, and a storm water discharge area. Land
use in the area supports limited residential and
undeveloped forest land. Site A is located near Hood
Canal which borders the SUBASE to the west. The
community of Vinland is located approximately 2,000
feet from Site A. Several residents who reside in
Vinland use a shallow aquifer as their drinking water
supply. Municipal water supplies near the site are
obtained from the deeper sea level aquifer. From
1962 to 1975, the Navy used the site to detonate and
incinerate various ordnance materials. The site
originally consisted of burn mounds, facilities for
personnel, fire suppression vehicles and equipment, an
incinerator for ammunition, and a blast pit for TNT
detonation. Sediments from an ordnance waste water
disposal lagoon were disposed of and burned at the
site through 1972. Buildings at the site were
demolished and burned on site in 1977. Grading and
redistribution of soil at the Site A burn area continued
through 1984. In 1983 the Navy diverted surface
water discharges from the Site A Burn Area to Hood
Canal, to minimize contamination to the near town.
This was done as a result of investigations conducted
by the Navy in 1978. This ROD addresses
contaminated soil and ground water at Site A. Future
RODs will address an additional six operable units
comprising 20 known or suspected hazardous waste
sites at SUBASE. The primary contaminants of
concern affecting the soil and ground water are
organics, including PCBs; metals, including lead; and
explosive compounds including TNT, DNT, and
RDX.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
excavating and consolidating approximately 7,000
cubic yards of ordnance-contaminated soil and 100
cubic yards of lead-contaminated soil from Debris
Area 2, and modifying the soil, as necessary using
mechanical or chemical means to ensure effectiveness
of subsequent treatment; treating soil onsite using soil
washing, followed by treatment of the process
leachate using UV/oxidation, with reuse of the treated
water; placing a 1-food soil cover over the residual
ordnance-contaminated soil, and revegetating the area;
disposing of any treated soil still containing
concentrations of lead above the action level offsite at
a permitted facility; conducting treatability studies to
support final design of the ground water restoration
plan; installing approximately eight extraction wells
near the Burn Area, pending final design; treating the
extracted ground water onsite using UV/oxidation;
installing an effluent polishing system, in the event
that ground water treatment is inadequate; discharging
the treated water onsite; and monitoring ground water.
The estimated present worth cost for this remedial
action is $2,700,000. No O&M cost was provided for
this remedial action.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Chemical-specific soil clean-up goals are based on
state standards and include TNT 33 mg/kg; DNT 1.5
mg/kg; RDX 9.1 mg/kg; lead 250 mg/kg. Chemical-
specific ground water clean-up goals are based on

BUNKER HILL MINING AND METALLURGICAL COMPLEX, ID
September 22, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The Bunker Hill Mining and Metallurgical Complex
site, a 21-square-mile area centered around an inactive
industrial mining and smelting site, includes the Cities
of Kellogg, Page, Pinehurst, Smelterville, Wardner,
Shoshone County, Idaho. The inactive several
hundred acre industrial complex includes the Bunker
Hill mine and mill, a lead and zinc smelter, and a
phosphoric acid fertilizer plant. Other site features
include the South Fork of the Coeur d'Alene River;
an alluvial floodplain bordered by mountains, valleys,
and gulches; and vegetated residential areas. In 1886,
the first mill for processing lead and silver ore was
constructed at the site. In later years, operations were
expanded with the addition of a lead smelter; a blast
furnace; and electrolytic zinc, sulfuric acid,
phosphoric acid, and fertilizer plants. Onsite
operations and disposal practices have caused the
deposition of metals to offsite areas throughout the
valley via airborne particulate deposition; alluvial
deposition of tailings dumped in the river; and
migration from onsite sources. Initially, most solid
and liquid residue from the complex was discharged
into the river. When the river flooded, these materials
were deposited onto the valley floor and were leached
into onsite soil and ground water. Although some
industrial wastes were removed and disposed of
offsite, thousands of tons of sludge, tailings, flue dust,
and other wastes still remain onsite. In 1973, a
baghouse fire severely reduced air pollution control
capacity at the lead smelter. A 1974 public health
study and concurrent epidemiologic and
environmental investigations concluded that
atmospheric emissions of particulate lead from the
active smelter were the primary sources of elevated
blood lead levels in local children. In 1977, two tall
stacks were added to disperse contaminants from the
complex. Smelter operations ceased in 1981, but
limited mining and milling operations continued
onsite from 1988 to 1991. In 1989, EPA began a
removal program to excavate lead-contaminated soil
from affected residential properties. Several
additional removal actions for source materials were
also completed by various PRPs from 1989 to 1991.
The site has been divided into several sections for
remediation based on population levels: the Hillside
Area; Smelterville Flats; Central Impoundment Area
(CIA), Page Pond, Smelter Complex; mine operations
area, right-of-way within nonpopulat ed areas, and
future development areas. A 1991 ROD addressed
contaminated residential soil within the populated
areas of the site, as OU1; provided for the excavation
of soil with lead contamination above 1,000 mg/kg at
1,800 residential properties with disposal at an onsite
repository, which was subsequently capped; and
provided clean soil and sod to residents. This ROD
addresses a final remedy for OU2, the nonpopulated
areas of the site and those aspects of the populated
areas not addressed by the 1991 ROD. The primary
contaminants of concern affecting the soil, sediment,
debris, ground water, and surface water are organics,
including PCBs; metals, including arsenic and lead;
and inorganics, including asbestos.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
revegetating the Hillside Area with less than 50
percent cover; contour terracing eroded hillsides and
installing erosion-control structures; re-establishing
riparian habitat and mitigating eroding tailings in
Smelterville Flats; consolidating jig tailings into CIA;
establishing soil barriers in contaminated areas;
relocating the A-l gypsum pond sediment to CIA;
capping the A-4 gypsum pond or consolidating it
within CIA; removing materials from the 1982
smelter cleanup and consolidating these within the
smelter closure; relocating the slag pile to either the
CIA or Smelter Complex; removing tailings from the
West Page Swamp and consolidating these in Page
Pond and capping the pond with residential soil;
improving the channels for Humboldt and Grouse
creeks; reprocessing, recycling, or treating all
principal threat materials, including copper flue dust
using cement-based stabilization; removing and
recycling salvageable items; demolishing and
decontaminating onsite structures; capping the CIA,
Lead Smelter, and Zinc Plant with low permeability
caps; collecting and treating the CIA, Lead Smelter,
and Zinc Plant leachate; treating acid mine drainage
from the Bunker Hill mine in the Central Treatment
Plant prior to discharge to the wetlands treatment
system; closing the onsite solid waste landfills;
continuing blood level monitoring for lead and high-
efficiency vacuum loan program to site residents;
cleaning all homes exceeding 1,000 ppm lead house
dust after remedial actions are completed, and
developing and implementing an interior dust
monitoring program; recovering and treating the

and Pinehurst narrows to treat CIA seeps, pretreated
acid mine drainage, and ground water and surface
water from Government Gulch, as well as leachate
from the lead and zinc closure areas, using absorption
and precipitation of metals within an anaerobic
substrate; constructing a second ground water system
and passively treating upper zone ground water to
meet discharge limits; abandoning and closing
potentially contaminated wells, and providing an
alternative source of water for any affected residences
not serviced by the municipal water system;
continually monitoring the air, surface water, ground
water, and biological parameters at the site; and
implementing institutional controls including land use
restrictions to control future land use, and site access
restrictions such as fencing. The estimated present
worth cost for this remedial action is $52,035,000,
which includes an annual O&M cost of $11,096,000
for 30 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Chemical-specific soil excavation goals, which are
based on health-risk levels, include lead 1,000 mg/kg.
Soil will be stabilized to meet RCRA LDR standards
prior to disposal in CIA, which will be capped. Clean
replacement soil will contain less than arsenic
100 mg/kg; cadmium 5 mg/kg; and lead 100 mg/kg.
Chemical-specific sediment and debris clean-up levels
were not specified; however, materials that cannot be
reprocessed or recycled will be stabilized onsite prior
to disposal in CIA. Chemical-specific ground water
clean-up goals are based on SDWA MCLs and state
standards and include arsenic 0.05 mg/1; cadmium
0.005 mg/1; lead 0.05 mg/1; and zinc 5 mg/I.
Chemical-specific surface water clean-up goals are
based on federal water quality criteria under the CWA
and include cadmium 0.0011 mg/1; lead 0.0032 mg/1;
and zinc 0.110 mgA.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS:
Institutional controls in the form of land use
restrictions and other administrative restrictions will
be implemented onsite for those areas where lead
concentrations exceed 100 mg/kg.

EIELSON AIR FORCE BASE, AK
September 29, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 19,700-acre Eielson Air Force Base (EAFB) site,
located 26 miles southeast of Fairbanks, Alaska, is
primarily a tactical air support installation. The 2-
acre Blair Lakes Target Range facility, approximately
25 miles southwest of the main base, has been
included in the EAFB site because of its geographical
proximity. Land in the surrounding area is used
principally for military training associated with Fort
Wainwright, and there are few scattered residential
and commercial activities close to the base. The
communities of Moose Creek, North Pole, and Salcha
all lie within a 20-mile radius of the base. The
aquifer beneath EAFB, which supplies drinking water
to private wells in Moose Creek and North Pole, has
been designated a sole-source aquifer. In addition,
70 percent of EAFB and virtually all of the Blair
Lakes Target Range are wetlands. Constructed in
1944, EAFB was originally a satellite installation of
Fort Wainwright. Used jointly by the Army and Air
Force, the site was designated Eielson AFB in 1948.
Many industrial operations were conducted at the
base, which generated waste oils, contaminated fuels
and sludge, and spent solvents and cleansers. During
the mid-1980's, the Air Force Installation Restoration
Program (IRP) identified 64 potential areas of
contamination that were divided into six OUs. This
ROD addresses an interim remedy for OU1B to
prevent further degradation of the ground water
quality by significantly reducing the volume of
petroleum product in site soil and free product
floating on top of the ground water. OU1B contains
four areas: ST20 Refueling Loop E-7 Complex, ST20
Refueling Loop E-9 Complex, ST48 Powerplant Fuel
Spill Area, and ST49 Building 1300/SS50-53 Blab-
Lakes Target Range. A future ROD will address
additional source control and final ground water
response actions. The primary contaminants of
concern affecting the soil and ground water are
VOCs, including benzene, toluene, and xylenes; and
oils.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes in-
situ bioventing of BTEX contaminated soil in the
vadose zone, with monitoring of soil gases; collecting
floating petroleum hydrocarbons from the ground
water through wells, culverts, or trenches; incinerating
recovered product onsite or transporting this offsite
for recycling or disposal; treating extracted ground
water, as needed, using air stripping, oil-water
separation, or carbon filtration, as determined during
the remedial design stage; and discharging the
residual water onsite; monitoring petroleum product
levels; collecting BTEX-LNAPLS using vacuum
extraction wells, with carbon adsorption, followed by
offsite disposal of carbon residuals; treating collected
liquids using an oil and water separator, air stripper,
or carbon adsorption; destroying air emissions using
tip flare incineration; and monitoring ground water.
The estimated capital cost for this remedial action is
$3,867, with an annual O&M cost of $3,375 for
5 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS;
No chemical-specific soil and ground water clean-up
goals are provided for this interim remedy. Final
performance goals will be established in the final
remedy for site soil and ground water remediation.
All air emissions and effluent discharges generated by
this interim remedy will comply with the applicable
federal and state environmental regulations.

ELMENDORF AIR FORCE BASE, AK
September 1, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 13,130-acre Elmendorf Air Force Base (AFB)
site is located adjacent to the municipality of
Anchorage, Alaska. Land use on the base includes
airfield and base support operations, personnel
housing, and recreational facilities. Approximately
1.5 miles south of the base, land use is residential and
industrial. Wetlands, lakes, and ponds cover about
1,416 acres of the site. The estimated 8,600 people
who reside on the base do not use the shallow aquifer
as their drinking water supply. From 1940 to 1991,
Elmendorf AFB used a 20-acre portion of the site,
referred to as source area ST41, to store the fuel
product JP-4 and aviation gasoline in four 1-million
gallon underground tanks. As a result of numerous
leaks and above-ground spills since the tanks were
installed in the 1940s, USAF conducted investigations
through its Installation Restoration Program (IRP).
These investigations revealed several hundred
thousand gallons of fuel in the ground water and soil.
Remedial investigation activities in 1988 and 1989
included installing monitoring wells and test trenches.
During that time, a concrete dam was installed in an
effort to recover fuel from the south seeps.
Additional studies conducted in 1990 and 1991
indicated that ground water within an approximate
500-foot radius around ST41 is contaminated. In
January 1991, the four tanks and piping were pumped
dry and taken out of service. This ROD addresses an
interim remedy at Elmendorf AFB. This action is
needed to reduce further spread of fuel constituents
through the recovery of floating product on the
ground water surface, and containment of seeps.
Future RODs will include a final remedy for ground
water and soil at ST41, as OU2, and will address the
other six OUs at the site. The primary contaminants
of concern affecting the soil and ground water at
ST41 are the compounds in JP-4, especially VOCs
such as benzene, toluene, and xylenes, and other
organics.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected interim remedial action for this site
includes collecting and containing the floating BTEX-
LNAPLs with passive and active recovery systems;
using a sump to separate the fuel and water, then
recycling the fuel; treating contaminated ground water
using air stripping, with discharge of the treated water
offsite to a POTW; controlling air emissions from the
treatment process using carbon adsorption, and
disposing of spent carbon filters offsite; temporarily
storing excavated well construction soil onsite; and
monitoring ground water. The estimated present
worth cost for this remedial action is $467,300, which
includes an annual O&M cost of $27,500.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Chemical-specific ground water clean-up goals are
based on SDWA MCLs and will be provided in the
final ROD for the OU2 source area ST41.

FORT LEWIS (LANDFILL NO. 5), WA
July 10, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 180-acre Fort Lewis (Landfill No. 5) site is
located on the west side of the 86,000-acre Fort
Lewis Military Reservation in Pierce County,
Washington. Ground water is used as the source of
the municipal water supply; however, supply wells are
not affected by the site. From 1967 to 1990, the
landfill accepted 77,000 tons per year of mixed
municipal, industrial, commercial, and residential
waste and 188,000 cubic yards per year of demolition
waste from the Fort Lewis Military Reservation, the
VA Medical Center, and McChord Air Force Base.
Dewatered sludge from the Fort Lewis Sewage
Treatment Plant was also disposed onsite. Initially,
waste was placed in trenches running north to south,
which were covered with soil in 1971. Subsequently,
until 1990, site trenches running east to west were
used for disposal. In 1985, as part of the closure
procedures for the inactive portions of Landfill No. 5,
the Army covered the east-west trenches with a multi-
layer cap. Ground water modeling conducted from
1980 to 1984 revealed that contaminant concentrations
in the ground water did not exceed regulatory
standards and will decrease over time because the cap
will reduce leachate production. This ROD addresses
a final remedy for the inactive portions of the landfill.
Recent investigations by the Army indicate that
conditions at the site currently pose no unacceptable
risks to human health or the environment; therefore,
there are no primary contaminants of concern
affecting this site.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site is no further
action; however, onsite ground water monitoring will
continue in accordance with state and local solid
waste landfill operating and closure requirements.
There are no costs associated with this no action
remedy.

JOSEPH FOREST PRODUCTS, OR
September 30, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 18-acre Joseph Forest Products (JFP) site is a
wood-processing facility in the City of Joseph,
Wallowa County, Oregon. Land use in the area is
predominantly industrial and agricultural. The City of
Enterprise uses two springs located 4,000 feet from
JFP to serve as its municipal water supply. In 1974,
and again from 1977 to 1985, Joseph Forest Products,
Inc., used the site as a lumber mill, processing wood
into lumber products. Structures located on the
facility include a sawing facility, a wood treating
facility and an adjacent drip pad, a drying building, a
pumphouse, and maintenance facilities. Wood
treatment operations consisted of mixing a
concentrated preservative paste with water and
treating lumber products with the mixture of
chromium, copper, and arsenic (CCA) in a retort.
Process wastes, including wood chips, sludge, and
other materials remaining in the retort, were removed
periodically and placed in a cement pit adjacent to the
treatment building. In 1974, the treatment building
and surrounding buildings were destroyed by fire.
During fire-fighting operations approximately
200 gallons of contaminated treatment paste and
3,000 gallons of treatment solution were released into
the soil. It is estimated that more than 160,000
pounds of CCA preservative concentrate were used at
the site between 1978 and 1985. As a result of a
1984 state investigation that identified elevated levels
of metals, EPA conducted a site inspection, which
revealed metal contamination in surface water and
soil. In 1985, a state enforcement action instructed
JFP to ship eleven 55-gaIlon drums of waste material
to an offsite hazardous waste landfill. In 1991, during
EPA's remedial investigation, a removal action
involved excavation and offsite disposal of highly
contaminated soil. This ROD addresses a final
remedy for the excavation and disposal of
contaminated soil and debris remaining onsite. The
primary contaminants of concern affecting the soil
and debris are metals, including arsenic, chromium,
and lead; and inorganics, including asbestos.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION;
The selected remedial action for this site includes
demolishing contaminated onsite structures, including
the process, storage, and mixing tanks, and the
wooden structures and concrete slabs, followed by
offsite disposal; decontaminating the concrete drip pad
and tanks, followed by recycling or offsite disposal of
debris; excavating surface and subsurface soil, with
screening and segregation of hazardous waste for
offsite disposal, with stabilization, if necessary, prior
to disposal at appropriate facilities; backfilling any
excavated areas; removing asbestos from the facility,
with offsite disposal; removing underground storage
tanks and any associated contaminated soil, with
scrapping or offsite disposal; monitoring ground
water; and implementing institutional controls,
including deed and land use restrictions or
environmental notices. The estimated capital cost for
this remedial action is $550,000, with an annual
O&M cost of $24,000 for 3 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Excavation goals for soil/debris are based on EPA's
risk standards of 105 for surface soil and 10"4 for
subsurface soil. Chemical-specific goals for
subsurface soil include arsenic 36 mg/kg; chromium
1,351 mg/kg; and copper 10,000 mg/kg. Subsurface
soil goals include arsenic 336 mg/kg; chromium 1,351
mg/kg; and copper 10,000 mg/kg.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS:
Deed restrictions will be implemented to ensure
appropriate consideration of site conditions in future
land use decisions.

MCCHORD AFB (WASH RACK/TREATMENT), WA
September 28, 1992
REGION 10~-
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 4,600-acre McChord Air Force Base (AFB) is
located in Pierce County, Washington. The site
contains a 22-acre parcel of land, referred to as the
Site 54 Washrack Treatment Area (WTA), which
contains weapon and aircraft maintenance facilities.
Land use in the area is associated with industrial and
operational activities at the AFB. The WTA is
located east of Clover Creek, a perennial stream that
provides the only surface water drainage for McChord
AFB. There are no drinking water supply wells in
the immediate vicinity of the WTA. Site features
included a former washrack, two leach pits, an
oil/water separator (skimmer), and storm drainage
infiltration ditches. The site has been utilized for
airfield industrial activities, including draining fuel
and washing airplanes. In 1981, the Department of
Defense Installation Restoration Program was initiated
onsite to identify the location and contents of past
disposal sites. Through both record searches and the
use of aerial photographs dating from 1957 to 1985,
several site areas, including Sites 54 and 60, were
identified as waste spill and disposal areas. Floating
fuel was identified as underlying a 300,000-square-
foot area of the site, which resulted from unrecorded
spills. This ROD addresses remediation of the
excavated soil and the NAPL-contaminated ground
water at Site 54. The primary contaminants of
concern affecting the soil and ground water are
VOCs; other organics, including oils; and metals,
including lead.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
excavating, consolidating, and treating fuel-
contaminated soil onsite with ex-situ bioremediation,
then backfilling the treated soil into an onsite trench;
installing passive subsurface extraction trenches to
collect LNAPLs, with onsite separation using fuel
skimmers (oil/water separator); transporting the
recovered fuel offsite in drums to either a recycling
facility, if specifications are met, or to a permitted
disposal facility; conducting long-term ground water
monitoring; and implementing institutional controls,
including deed and ground water use restrictions, as
well as site physical controls. The estimated present
worth cost for this remedial action is $640,000, which
includes an annual O&M cost of $54,000 for years
0-1, $23,000 for the years 3-5, and $22,000 for years
6-25.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Chemical-specific ground water clean-up goals are

MOUNTAIN HOME AIR FORCE BASE, ID
June 16, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 7-acre Mountain Home Air Force Base (AFB)
site is a fire department training area located in
Mountain Home, Elmore County, Idaho. Land use in
the area is predominantly rural and agricultural. An
estimated 6,990 people residing within 0.6 mile of the
site and several farmers in the vicinity use ground
water to irrigate agricultural lands. From 1962 to
1975, the Mountain Home Air Force Base used the
site for fire department training exercises. From 1962
to 1975, the fuel used in the fire training exercises
was either clean fuel AVGAS or JP-4, or fuels from
flight line defueling operations. Since 1975, only
clean JP-4 has been used in the exercises. Each
exercise began by saturating the bermed training area
with water, followed directly by applying 250 to
500 gallons of fuel. The flames were extinguished
with Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF), or prior
to 1972, with a water-based protein foam. The
training session was completed with a post-exercise
ignition of the residual fuel in a bermed area. The
USAF investigations identified solvents and
petroleum, oil, lubricant (POL) wastes in the soil.
Under the Installation Restoration Program (IRP), the
USAF conducted a record search, drilling, and
sampling of soil borings to bedrock, the installation of
monitoring wells, and hand auger samples. Corrective
measures that were taken included placing warning
signs, deactivating the burn pit in 1986, and installing
ground water monitoring wells. This ROD provides
a final remedy for onsite soil as OU4. Future RODs
will address ground water contamination as a separate
operable unit. Because contaminants were found at
such low concentrations, the soil was covered by
crushed asphalt and has little potential to impact
ecological receptors. The soil poses low risks for
humans at the site and no remediation is necessary.
Therefore, there are no contaminants of concern at the
site.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION.
The selected remedial action for this site is no further
action. Based on the results of the human health risk
assessment the USAF, EPA, and the state have
determined that chemicals remaining in the soil pose
no unacceptable risks to human health or the
environment. There are no costs associated with this
no action remedy.

N.A.S. WHIDBEY ISLAND - AULT FIELD, WA
April 21, 1992
REGION 1Q-.
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The Naval Air Station (NAS) Whidbey Island - Ault
Field site, a multiple use waste disposal area, is
located on a 260-acre active airbase northeast of the
City of Oak Harbor, Island County, Washington. The
northwest sector of the airbase, known as Area 6,
maintains and provides support to naval aircraft and
aviation facilities. Land use in the surrounding area
is predominately residential and wooded, with
wetlands located in and around the site. Area 6 is a
ground water recharge zone that overlies three major
aquifers. The uppermost unconfined aquifer was
found to be contaminated from past site disposal
practices. From 1969 to 1988, hazardous wastes were
dumped and stored at various pits, trenches, and
landfills located in Area 6. Past disposal at these
sites included approximately 2.2 million gallons of
liquids and sludge; 300,000 to 700,000 gallons of
acids and solvents; an estimated 100,000 to 600,000
gallons of oily sludge; and unknown quantities of
waste oils, asbestos, and hazardous wastes. Studies
conducted at the site by the Navy and EPA revealed
solvents, VOCs, oily wastes, acids, and asbestos in
ground water and soil. This ROD addresses interim
remediation of the ground water to prevent the spread
of the contamination plume in the aquifer to drinking
water wells while other locations on the airbase are
evaluated. Future RODs will address final remedial
actions for ground water. The remaining operable
units will address the waste areas and associated soil
contamination at this site. The primary contaminants
of concern affecting the ground water are VOCs,
including TCE; and metals, including chromium and
lead.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
containing the solvent contaminated ground water
using extraction, followed by onsite treatment using
metal precipitation, air stripping, and carbon
adsorption, and reinjecting the treated water into the
affected aquifer; and monitoring ground water. The
estimated present worth cost for this remedial action
is $2,201,000, which includes a total O&M cost of
$1,230,000 for 3 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Chemical-specific ground water clean-up goals are
based on SDWA MCLs and State Model Toxics

PACIFIC HIDE & FUR RECYCLING (AMENDMENT), ID
April 29, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION;
The 17-acre Pacific Hide & Fur Recycling site is
located in Pocatello, Bannock County, Idaho. From
the 1950's until 1979, McCarty's Inc. operated a
recycling business which primarily accepted scrap
metals, including batteries, transformers, and
capacitors filled with PCB oils, which were stored on-
site on the excavated pit floor. A 1988 ROD
addressed source control using excavation and
immobilization with a provision for onsite
containment if the remedy proved unworkable. Prior
to implementation of this remedy, a bench-scale
treatability determined that the remedy failed to meet
several important performance criteria and tentatively
identified the presence of lead above onsite health-
based levels. EPA planned to implement the alternate
remedy, onsite containment; however, upon further
review, EPA found that the design requirements of
the alternate remedy, as documented in the ROD, did
not comply with federal regulations and determined
that construction of an on-site containment cell would
not be feasible because this remedy could
significantly interfere with future cleanup of on-site,
Pb-contaminated soil. In order to remediate the PCB-
contaminated soil in a timely and protective manner,
EPA evaluated other alternatives to the on-site
containment remedy. This 1992 ROD amendment
addresses remediation of the PCB-contaminated areas,
as well as areas contaminated with commingled lead
and PCBs with a revised remedy. EPA is continuing
to evaluate the nature and extent of lead, and possible
other contaminants at the site and may specify
additional clean-up activities, as necessary, under
separate operable unit remedial actions. The primary
contaminants of concern affecting the soil and debris
are organics, including PCBs; and metals, including
lead.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION;
The amended remedial action for this site includes
excavating, processing, transporting, and offsite
disposal of approximately 8,200 cubic yards of PCB-
contaminated and commingled PCB/lead-contaminated
soil as follows: excavation and offsite disposal of
approximately 6,500 cubic yards of untreated PCB-
contaminated soil; treating approximately 900 cubic
yards of contaminated soil commingled with over
25 mg/kg PCB and lead levels exceeding 5 mg/kg,
using solidification, followed by offsite disposal in a
permitted, hazardous waste facility; treating
approximately 100 cubic yards of PCB-, lead-, and
halogenated organic compound (HOC)-contaminated
waste using offsite incineration, followed by
solidifying and disposing of the ash offsite;
decontaminating, stockpiling onsite, and covering
approximately 700 cubic yards of debris for possible
future salvage and recycling; and backfilling, grading,
and restoring the surface site drainage. The estimated
present worth cost for this remedial action ranges
from $2,360,500 to $2,429,000. There is no O&M
cost associated with the remedial action.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Chemical-specific soil excavation goals are based on
RCRA hazardous waste and characterization
regulations and TSCA PCB regulations, and include
HOCs 1,000 mg/kg; lead 5 mg/kg (TCLP); and PCBs
25 mg/kg.

PESTICIDE LAB - YAKIMA, WA
September 30, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 10-acre Pesticide Lab - Yakima site is located at
the Yakima Agricultural Research Laboratory (YARL)
in Yakima, Yakima County, Washington. The YARL
occupies approximately 15 percent of the total site
area, and the remainder is used for cultivation of row
crops and fruit trees. Land use in the area is
predominantly residential, and several residences
south of the site obtain drinking water from private
wells. The YARL, which has operated since 1961,
develops insect control technologies to benefit fruit
and vegetable agriculture in the Pacific Northwest.
Wastes generated at the site consist of a wide variety
of pesticide mixtures; rinsates from the cleaning of
sprayers and other equipment; and solvents. The site
contained a septic tank, disposal pipe, washdown pad,
and drainfield system used for the discharge of dilute
pesticide compounds. In 1980, YARL received
interim status under RCRA; however, in 1983,
unpermitted discharges led to EPA investigations that
revealed evidence of soil and potential ground water
contamination from leaching of contaminants through
the highly permeable sand and gravel. In 1988,
YARL removed the drainfield, sampled soil and
ground water, and compiled monitoring information
from four wells that had been installed that same
year. In 1990, three additional wells were added to
further facilitate ground water assessment. A RCRA
Closure Plan, which was approved in 1990, provided
for the removal and disposal of the septic tank
contents, excavation and removal of the tank itself,
washdown pad removal, additional background soil
sampling, excavation and removal of contaminated
soil to obtain clean-up levels, conformational soil
sampling around the removed structures, installation
of the three ground water monitoring wells, and
1 year of ground water sampling. Because all waste
residues, contaminated soil, and subsoil have been
removed or decontaminated pursuant to RCRA Clean
Closure regulations, there are no contaminants of
concern affecting this site.

UMATILLA ARMY DEPOT (LAGOONS), OR
September 25, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The Umatilla Army Depot (Lagoons) site is located in
the center of the 19,700-acre U.S. Army Depot
Activity, Umatilla (UMDA), 5 miles west of
Hermiston, in Morrow and Umatilla Counties,
Oregon. This installation was established in 1941 as
an Army Ordnance Depot to store and handle
munitions. Land use in the surrounding area is
primarily agricultural. Approximately 1,470 wells
have been identified within a 4-mile radius of
UMDA, the majority of which are used for domestic
and irrigation water. Three municipal water systems
also draw from ground water within that same radius.
From the 1950's through 1965, UMDA operated an
onsite explosives washout plant, which processed
munitions to remove and recover explosives using a
pressurized hot water system. Plant operations
included flushing and draining the explosives washout
system, and wash water was discharged via an open
metal trough to two infiltration lagoons, known as the
explosive washout lagoons, located to the northwest
of the plant. The lagoons were constructed in the
1950's and utilized until 1965, when plant operations
and all discharges to the lagoon ceased. An estimated
85,000,000 gallons of effluent were discharged to the
lagoons during plant operations. Investigations
performed by the Army in the late 1970's to evaluate
past use, storage, treatment, and disposal of toxic
materials revealed contamination in the soil and
shallow aquifer beneath the lagoons. The facility has
been divided into 8 operable units for remediation.
This ROD provides a final remedy for the soil present
at the lagoons. A future ROD will address
contaminated ground water beneath the lagoons and
6 remaining RODs will address remaining portions of
the UMDA installation. The primary contaminants of
concern affecting the soil are explosives, including
DNB, 2, 4-DNT, HMX, NB, TNB, TNT, and RDX.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
developing a composting facility onsite; constructing
a roadway between the lagoons and the onsite
composting facility to transport the excavated and
treated soil; excavating to a 5-foot depth,
approximately 6,800 tons of contaminated soil with
concentrations of TNT or RDX exceeding 30 mg/kg;
treating the soil onsite using ex-situ bioremediation
via composting; backfilling the excavated lagoon
areas with the compost, then covering the compost
with a 2-foot layer of clean soil and grading and
revegetating the area. The estimated present worth
cost for this remedial action is $1,870,000, which
includes an estimated total O&M cost of $1,084,000
over 2 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Chemical-specific excavation goals for soil are based
on risk-based remedial action criteria (RAC) and
include TNT 30 mg/kg (RAC) and RDX 30 mg/kg
(RAC). These levels correspond to an excess cancer
risk under the industrial use scenario of 7x10"6, which
is within the range of acceptable cancer risks.

overlies a sole source Class I aquifer, the Snake River
Plain Aquifer. A 10-mile-square area within the
INEL complex, referred to as Test Area North (TAN),
was built in the 1950's to support the Aircraft Nuclear
Propulsion Program sponsored by the U.S. Air Force
and Atomic Energy Commission. Within TAN, the
Technical Support Facility (TSF-05) injection well
was used to dispose of industrial and sanitary wastes
and wastewaters from 1953 to 1972. Types of wastes
disposed of in the well included low-level radioactive
and process wastes, corrosive wastewater, ignitable
wastes, chromium, lead, and mercury. Contaminants,
including TCE, PCE, tritium and strontium-90, were
first detected above MCLs in the ground water in
1987. Based on these results, a RCRA Corrective
Action Program was subsequently developed to
address ground water contamination at TAN, which
included installation of an air sparging system in the
water supply tank at the TSF to ensure that organic
contaminant concentrations remain below regulatory
levels. Ground water sampling and monitoring
continued through 1990, and contaminated sludge
from the lower 55 feet of the TSF-05 injection well
was removed and analyzed in 1990. Currently, the
TSF-05 injection well is closed securely and locked,
and the well head has been sealed against surface
water intrusion. The INEL site is divided into
10 Waste Area Groups (WAGs). Two RODs in 1991
and 1992 addressed an interim remedy for Warm
Waste Pond sediment in WAG 2 and an interim
remedy for unexploded ordnance and soil
contamination in WAG 10. This ROD provides an
interim remedy for ground water contamination near
the TSF-05 injection well (WAG 1). The primary
contaminants of concern affecting the ground water
are VOCs, including TCE and PCE; metals, including
lead; and radioactive materials.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
pumping the contaminated ground water from the
injection well and treating the ground water onsite
using filtration to remove suspended solids, followed
by air stripping and carbon adsorption to remove
organics, and ion exchange to remove inorganics and
radionuclides; modifying the existing TAN onsite
disposal pond to receive treated ground water and
ensure that it does not exceed discharge limits;
transporting any spent carbon offsite to a permitted
facility for regeneration; installing two additional
ground water monitoring wells within the contaminant
plume; monitoring air emissions; and implementing
administrative and institutional controls, including
ground water use restrictions. The estimated capital
cost for this remedial action is $7,715,000, with a
total O&M cost of $3,194,000 for 2 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Chemical-specific ground water clean-up goals, which
are based on SDWA MCLs, and include TCE 5 ug/1;
PCE 5 ug/1; lead 50 ug/1; and strontium-90 300 pCi/1.
Air emissions also will be monitored and will not
exceed state air quality standards, which include
TCE 0.00051 Ib/hr, PCE 0.013 Ib/hr, lead 1.5 ug/m3;
and strontium-90 10 mrem/yd.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS:
Institutional controls will be implemented at the site
to restrict ground water use during these interim
remedial activities.

U.S. DOE IDAHO NATIONAL ENGINEERING LAB (OPERABLE UNIT 5), ID
December 5, 1991
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION;
The Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL),
located 32 miles west of Idaho Falls, Idaho, occupies
890 square miles of the Eastern Snake River Plain.
Land use at the INEL is industrial and mixed use,
with a surrounding 500 square mile buffer zone used
for cattle and sheep grazing. The 7,700 INEL
employees use the Snake River Plain Aquifer that
underlies the site, as a drinking water source. The
aquifer has been proposed as a sole-source aquifer
pursuant to the SWDA. The TRA contains high
neutron flux nuclear test reactors. The Warm Waste
Pond is located 200 feet east of the test reactor area.
The Warm Waste Pond is composed of three
wastewater infiltration/evaporation ponds. Over the
past 40 years, the Warm Waste Pond received
discharges of reactor cooling water, radioactive
wastewater, and regenerative solutions from ion
exchange columns. As a result of an investigation
conducted in 1988, it was revealed that a release of
radioactive and/or hazardous contaminants to the
Warm Waste Pond had resulted in contamination of
the pond sediment and subsurface water. The INEL
is divided into 10 Waste Area Groups (WAGs), which
are further subdivided into operable units to facilitate
characterization and remedy selection for similar or
unique contamination issues. This ROD addresses the
interim remedy for the Warm Waste Pond sediment
that are part of the WAG 2 group that includes the
TRA. Other OUs are associated with this interim
action and will address perched water below TRA.
Contamination of the Snake River Plain Aquifer and
complete evaluation of risks associated with the
Warm Waste Pond will be addressed in separate
investigations and remedial actions, as necessary. The
contaminants in the perched water, currently being
evaluated in an ongoing RI/FS, will be addressed in
future remedial actions. The primary contaminants of
concern affecting the sediment are metals, including
hexavalent chromium; other inorganics; and
radioactive materials.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION;
The selected remedial action for this site includes
onsite physical separation of large and fine-grained
materials, followed by treatment of 20,700 cubic
yards of very-fine grained contaminated sediment
onsite by chemical extraction with an acidic solution
to remove cesium-137, cobalt-60, and chromium,
followed by recovering contaminants from the acidic
solution using ion exchange, precipitation or
distillation; testing residuals, and treating to meet
applicable storage and/or disposal criteria, then storing
the waste onsite temporarily until final disposition can
be determined; returning larger grained materials to
the pond and along with the treatment process
residuals, and backfilling and revegetating the area;
conducting pilot studies to optimize the extraction
process; and implementing institutional controls
including deed restrictions. The estimated capital
costs for this remedial action are $7,195,000, with an
estimated O&M cost of $300,000 over 18 months.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Federal and state clean-up standards for cesium-37,
cobalt-60, and chromium have not been established at
this time. Clean-up objectives for cesium-37 are
based on a 104 to 10"6 range for cancer risk to human
health. Because this action does not constitute a final
remedy for this operable unit, subsequent actions will
fully address risks posed by the Warm Waste Pond
sediment and associated contamination.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS:
Deed restrictions will be implemented to prevent
human exposure to site contaminants and provide site
security.

U.S. DOE IDAHO NATIONAL ENGINEERING LAB (OPERABLE UNIT 22), ID
September 30, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 890-square-mile U.S. DOE Idaho National
Engineering Laboratory (INEL), located 32 miles west
of Idaho Falls, Idaho, is operated by the U.S.
Department of Energy. Land use in the area is
predominantly industrial and mixed use. The site
overlies a sole source Class I aquifer, known as the
Snake River Plain Aquifer. Within INEL, an area
known as the Power Burst Facility (PBF) operated
from 1972 to 1985 and supported the testing of
pressurized-water fuel rods under hypothetical reactor
accidents. This area contained several site features,
including a corrosive waste sump, an evaporation
pond, and discharge pipe. From 1978 to 1984, water
containing a chromium-based algal and corrosion
inhibitor from the PBF reactor's secondary coolant
system was discharged from the corrosive waste sump
(CWS) via a discharge pipe to an evaporation pond.
To prevent discharge of toxic hexavalent chromium to
the sump, cooling water was treated in the discharge
pipe by bubbling sulfur dioxide through it to reduce
the hexavalent chromium to less toxic trivalent
chromium, and the treated water was discharged to
the sump and neutralized using sodium hydroxide or
sulfuric acid. As a result of these activities,
approximately 363 cubic yards of sediment in the
evaporation pond have been contaminated by metals
and radioactive materials. In 1987, the pond and
sump were listed as RCRA land disposal units;
however, wastewater exhibiting the toxicity
characteristic (TC) for chromium is believed to have
been discharged after the effective date of the TC
rule. The INEL site is currently divided into
10 Waste Area Groups (WAGs). Three previous
RODs signed in 1991 and 1992 addressed interim
remedies for the warm waste pond sediment in
WAG 2, unexploded ordnance and contaminated soil
in WAG 10, and ground water contamination from
the TS-05 injection well in WAG 1, respectively.
This ROD provides an interim remedy for the
contaminated sediment and sludge in the evaporation
pond, discharge pipe, and waste sump as OU22 in
WAG 5. A future ROD will address the underlying
aquifer and unsaturated zone. The primary
contaminants of concern affecting the sediment,
debris, and sludge are metals, including chromium;
and radioactive materials.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected interim remedial action for this site
includes removing and solidifying/stabilizing the
100 cubic yards of contaminated sediment from the
evaporation pond by grouting, followed by onsite
disposal in the Radioactive Waste Management
Complex (RWMC) at INEL along with existing low-
level waste containers; removing sludge and sediment
from the waste sump; treating the sludge by grouting,
if feasible, based on the results of treatability studies,
and disposing of the treated sludge onsite in RWMC;
decontaminating the discharge pipe; and sampling the
remaining sediment to verify residual contaminant
concentrations. The estimated total cost for this
remedial action is $480,000. No O&M costs were
provided for this remedial action.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS;
Sediment and sludge excavation goals are based on a
site-specific residential use scenario for a population
that begins residence at the site within 100 years in
the future. Chemical-specific goals include chromium
800 mg/kg and cesium-137 30 pCi/g.

U.S. DOE IDAHO NATIONAL ENGINEERING LAB (OPERABLE UNIT 23), ID
June 2, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION;
The U.S. DOE Idaho National Engineering Laboratory
(INEL), established in 1949, is located 32 miles west
of Idaho Falls, Idaho. The facility occupies
890 square miles, and land use in the area is
predominantly industrial. The Snake River Plain
Aquifer, which underlies the INEL, has been
designated as a sole source, Class I, aquifer pursuant
to the Safe Drinking Water Act. Within the INEL is
a 270-square-mile area, formerly known as the Naval
Proving Ground (NPG), which was used prior to
World War II for naval artillery testing, explosives,
storage bunker testing, and ordnance disposal.
Investigations by site personnel have resulted in the
discovery of numerous unexploded ordnance devices,
such as 3- to 16-inch artillery shells, partially
exploded 125- to 2,000-pound bombs, anti-tank
mines, and depth charges. This ROD addresses
OU23, which covers six locations on the site: the
CFA gravel pit, the storage bunkers north of Idaho
Chemical Processing Plant, the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Grid, CFA Building 633 Zone, Fire
Station II Zone, and Power Line Road. Unexploded
ordnance has been found on the ground surface in
most of these areas. It is estimated that
150 unexploded ordnance will be found and detonated
during this remedial action. Areas of soil are also
contaminated with explosive compounds at the ground
surface, or will become contaminated by detonation
activities. This interim ROD addresses ordnance in
the six NPG areas and associated soil contamination.
Future RODs will address remaining ordnance areas
for which insufficient information exists at this time,
final remedies for soil contamination, and all of the
Waste Area Group 10 (WAG 10) at the INEL site.
The primary contaminants of concern affecting the
soil and ordnance debris are organics; inorganics; and
natural decomposition products.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected interim remedial action for this site
includes conducting soil sampling of the detonation
areas; excavating, containerizing, and transporting an
estimated 185 cubic yards of soil exceeding action
levels offsite for treatment using incineration, with
offsite disposal of residuals; researching historical
records pertaining to ordnance activities at INEL;
conducting a field search of the six NPG areas for
unexploded ordnance; controlled onsite thermal
treatment (detonation) of any identified ordnance,
with onsite disposal or recycling of any residual metal
debris; and posting signs where the public has access
to ordnance areas. The estimated present worth cost
for this remedial action is $2,359,500. No O&M
costs are associated with this remedial action.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS;
Action levels for soil were determined based on
health-based criteria and include TNT 44 mg/kg and
RDX 18 mg/kg. A screening level for DNT has not
been developed as it is a breakdown product of TNT.
Soil at or above these screening levels will be
excavated, containerized, and transported to an offsite
incinerator. Any resultant ash will be disposed of by
the incinerator facility. Containerized soil will be
sampled and analyzed for TCLP analytes to determine
whether they should be classified as a RCRA waste.

WYCKOFF/EAGLE HARBOR, WA
September 29, 1992
SITE HISTORY/DESCRIPTION:
The 3,780-acre Wyckoff/Eagle Harbor site is located
on the east side of Bainbridge Island, in Central Puget
Sound, Kitsap County, Washington. The site consists
of an inactive 40-acre wood treating facility owned by
Wyckoff, the adjacent 500-acre Eagle Harbor and
other upland sources of contamination to the Harbor,
including a former shipyard. Land use in the area is
predominantly residential, with some commercial and
industrial uses. The harbor supports several fish
resources, a wide variety of resident and migratory
birds, and other wildlife. The shipyard operated from
1903 to 1959 on the northwest shore of Eagle Harbor,
resulting in releases of metals and organic
contaminants. From 1905 to 1988, wood treating
operations were conducted on the southeast shore
involving pressure treatment with creosote and
pentachlorophenol. Preservative chemicals, which
were delivered to the facility by barge and ship, were
stored in tanks on the property. Contamination of soil
and ground water at the wood treatment facility led to
seepage into adjacent sediments. Wastewater was
discharged into Eagle Harbor for many years, and the
practice of storing treated pilings and timber in the
water continued until the late 1940's. In 1984,
NOAA investigations of the Harbor revealed that
sediment, fish, and shellfish from Eagle Harbor
contained elevated levels of PAHs. Later in 1984,
EPA required the Wyckoff Company to conduct
environmental investigation activities under RCRA,
and the state required immediate action to control
stormwater runoff and seepage of contaminants. In
1991, EPA defined three operable units at the
Wyckoff/Eagle Harbor site: East Harbor (OU1),
Wyckoff (OU2), and West Harbor (OU3). This ROD
addresses subtidal/intertidal sediment and upland
sources of contamination in the West Harbor (OU3),
where significant sources from former shipyard
activities are believed to have been controlled. Future
RODs will address PAH-contaminated sub-tidal
sediment in the OU1 and OU2, the contaminated East
Harbor (OU1), and contaminated ground water , soil
and intertidal sediment at the adjacent facility (OU2).
The primary contaminants of concern affecting the
subtidal/intertidal sediment and upland sources are
organics, including PAHs; and metals, including
arsenic, chromium, and lead.
SELECTED REMEDIAL ACTION:
The selected remedial action for this site includes
dredging, dewatering, excavating approximately 1,000
to 7,000 cubic yards of intertidal sediment that
exceeds levels of 5 mg/kg mercury and/or lower
moderate PAH concentrations, followed by treatment
using solidification/stabilization, as necessary, to
comply with LDR as determined by bench scale tests;
transporting sediment, which cannot be treated to
meet LDR offsite for disposal at a RCRA-permitted
landfill; treating wastewater from the dewatering
process onsite using carbon adsorption before
discharge into the harbor; capping the sediment in
areas of high concern with a 1-meter thick layer of
clean sediment; placing a thin layer of clean sediment
in subtidal areas of low to moderate concern to
enhance natural sediment recovery; conducting long-
term environmental monitoring; and implementing
institutional controls to prevent exposure to
contaminated fish and shellfish. The estimated
present worth cost for this remedial action ranges
from $6,200,000 to $16,000,000, which includes a
present worth O&M cost of $1,100,000 for 10 years.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS:
Sediment clean-up goals are based on the State of
Washington Sediment Management Standards
(Sediment Standards), which provide chemical criteria
for both a minimum clean-up level (MCUL) and the
more stringent sediment quality standards (SQS).
Chemical-specific goals for defining cleanup areas
include anthracene 1,200 mg/kg; chrysene 460 mg/kg;
naphthalene 170 mg/kg; pyrene 1,400 mg/kg; and
mercury 0.58 mg/kg (MCUL) the long-term goal for
the harbor is the SQS.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS:
Institutional controls will be implemented to prevent
exposure to contaminated fish and shellfish.

The selected remedial action for this site includes extractir
pretreating contaminated ground water from six recovery \
to remove metals, solids, and free product; transporting the
product offsite for recycling or disposal; treating ground w
onsite using air stripping and granular activated carbon to
remove VOCs, with discharge of the treated water onsite t
aquifer through an irrigation and infiltration system; spray
irrigating the treated water over areas of subsurface soil
contamination to facilitate soil flushing and removal of soi
contaminants; treating air emissions from the air stripping
process using granular activated carbon, prior to discharge
the atmosphere; testing residual sludge from the pretreatrrK
processes for hazardous waste characteristics and sending 1
offsite for appropriate disposal; and returning spent carbon
offsite to the vendor for regeneration.

Amendments are those changes which fundamentally alter the overall remedy in the ROD. The lead agency
may determine that the significant change fundamentally alters the overall remedy in the ROD, and thus
requires an amendment to the ROD. This type of alteration would represent a complete change in the
hazardous waste management approach documented in the ROD. For example, the lead agency decides,
based on pilot-scale tests, that bioremediation is no longer a feasible technology for this site. Instead, the lead
agency determines that thermal destruction and partial containment should be selected. The lead agency will
have to amend the ROD by undertaking the public participation and documentation procedures specified in
Section 117 of CERCLA. It should be noted that pre-SARA (10/17/86) RODs that are amended willbe subject
to the statutory requirements of Section 121 of CERCLA (i.e., the clean-up standards).

An ESD (statutory requirement of Section 117(c) of CERCLA) is a significant change to a component of a ROD.
It identifies the changes to a ROD and why they are being made. Significant changes usua lly take place during
RD/RA and negotiations with the PRPs. An ESD should be issued concurrently with the consent decree. The
lead agency could determine, e.g., that 30 percent more soil should be treated, raising the cost of the remedy
from $5 to 7 million dollars.

SECTION VII
DESCRIPTION OF TREATMENT TECHNOLOGIES AND OTHER
ACTIONS FOR SOURCE AND GROUND WATER CONTROL
SOURCE CONTROL TECHNOLOGIES
Treatment technologies for source material are grouped based on the primary functions for which they are
generally used: destruction/detoxification, separation/recovery, immobilization, and other. The specific
technologies listed are those identified in the RODs.
I. DESTRUCTION/DETOXIFICATION
A. Bioremediation
Biological treatments use microorganisms to degrade primarily low to moderate levels of organic contaminants
in aqueous waste streams and soil. Biological treatments include:
• In Situ Bioremediation - uses natural populations or seeded bacteria to biodegrade organic compounds.
The biological process may be accelerated by introducing nutrients and oxygen. This process is often
used in conjunction with a ground water pumping and reinjection system to circulate nutrients and
oxygen through a contaminated aquifer and associated contaminated soil.
• Solid/Slurry Phase or Ex Situ Bioremediation - involves comingling excavated organic-contaminated
soil, sludge, or sediments, with bioactive microorganisms in a mobile batch reactor or an in-ground
reactor. Waste is mixed with water to create a slurry composition, and the slurry is mixed to maximize
treatment of organic contaminants. Upon completion of the process, the slurry is dewatered and the
treated soil is disposed of.
8. Chemical Destruction/Detoxification
Chemical destruction/detoxification processes alter the hazardous substances to produce a by-product
residue that is less hazardous than the original waste and may be easier to remove from the waste stream.
Chemical destruction/detoxification processes include:
• Chemical Reduction/Oxidation (redox) - is a destruction process that changes the chemical nature of the
nature of the contaminants.
• Dechlorination - is a destruction process in which chlorine is chemically removed from chlorinated
organic compounds. This process converts the more toxic compounds into less toxic, water soluble
products. The transformation of contaminants within the soil produces compounds that are more readily
removed from the soil.
C. Thermal Destruction
Thermal destruction technologies use heat to destroy or detoxify hazardous substances, encompassing such
technologies as incineration, pyrolysis, and wet air oxidation. Specific incineration types include rotary kiln,
liquid injection, fluidized-bed, and infrared treatment.
• Incineration - is a controlled flame combustion process in which organics are destroyed producing carbon
dioxide, water, and other compounds.
• Pyrolysis -is a decomposition process in which organics are thermally decomposed into their individual
elements, in an oxygen deficient atmosphere.
499
-------
SECTION VII
DESCRIPTION OF TREATMENT TECHNOLOGIES AND OTHER
ACTIONS FOR SOURCE AND GROUND WATER CONTROL (Continued)
• Wet Air Oxidation - is a process that involves adding high pressure and temperature to a water solution
or suspension to destroy organics.
II. SEPARATION/RECOVERY
A. Chemical/Physical Extraction
Chemical/Physical Extraction is a transfer/separation process in which contaminants are dissociated from
the matrix either through a chemical or a physical process and are dissolved in a liquid or gaseous phase
which may require further treatment. Chemical/physical extraction processes include':
• In Situ Flushing - is an in-ground extraction process that uses a flushing agent, e.g., water to extract
contaminants. The process has been used to flush soil, waste and groundwater.
• In Situ Vacuum/Soil Vapor Extraction - is an in-ground process that involves extraction of VOCs from
soil using a vacuum or forced air. This process is generally used with other technologies since it transfers
contaminants from the soil to air and water waste to capture and treat the off-gases, streams.
• Soil Washing - is a water-based process for mechanically scrubbing soils ex situ to remove undesirable
contaminants. The process removes contaminants from soils in one of two ways: by dissolving or
suspending them in the wash solution (which is later treated by conventional wastewater treatment
methods) or by concentrating them into a smaller volume of soil through simple particle size separation
techniques (similar to those used in sand and gravel operations.)
B. Thermal Desorption
Thermal Desorption uses heat to extract volatile organics from the media and may be followed by other
treatments to collect and/or destroy contaminants. Thermal desorption processes include:
• Ex Situ Thermal Desorption - is a physical transfer process that uses air, heat, and mechanical agitation
to change volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in soil into a gas stream, where the contaminants are then
further treated.
• In Situ Thermal Desorption - involves the injection of steam or hot air into soil to volatilize VOCs. VOCs
rise to the surface where they are condensed or trapped on activated carbon. Other techniques may
include radio frequency heating.
III. IMMOBILIZATION
The term "immobilization" is used to mean any of the technologies which limit the solubility or mobility of
contaminants. The term "fixation" has also been used as a synonym for immobilization. Technology types
which fall within the realm of immobilization include:
• Solidification /Stabilization - involves the addition and mixing of materials that limit the solubility or
mobility of the waste constituents, and results in a monolithic structure.
• Sorbent Solidification - involves the addition and mixing of materials that limit the mobility of the waste
constituents through sorption.

-------
SECTION VII
DESCRIPTION OF TREATMENT TECHNOLOGIES AND OTHER
ACTIONS FOR SOURCE AND GROUND WATER CONTROL (Continued)
• Stabilization - involves the addition and mixing of materials that limit the solubility or mobility of the
waste constituents even though the physical characteristics of the waste may not be changed.
IV. OTHER
In Situ Vitrification (ISV) - is a thermochemical treatment process that destroys, removes, or immobilizes
hazardous wastes by electrically melting the waste media (e.g., soil) which upon cooling creates an extremely
stable glass-like solid. ISV can be used to treat soil and sludge contaminated with radioactive, inorganic, or
organic wastes or mixtures of these contaminants.
GROUND WATER TECHNOLOGIES
Treatment technologies for ground water are grouped based on the categories commonly used in the waste
water treatment industry: chemical/physical treatment, biological, and other. The specific technologies
listed are those identified in the RODs.
I. CHEMICAL/PHYSICAL
• Activated Alumina - is an adsorption process that is used to remove dissolved inorganic constituents
such as arsenic, fluoride, and selenium. As contaminated ground water contacts activated alumina,
inorganics become physically/chemically attached (i.e., adsorbed) to the alumina surface. Activated
alumina is a highly porous, granular form of aluminum oxide.
• Aeration- is a gas-liquid mass-transfer process that is used for adding oxygen during biological treatment
processes, or for air stripping VOCs from wastewaters.
• Air Sparging - involves injecting gas into the aquifer to attach to volatile contaminants as it percolates up
through the ground water, and is captured with a vapor extraction system.
• Air Stripping (Desorption) - is a physical process that involves bringing ground water into close contact
with air, thereby causing VOCs in the liquid phase to transfer to the gas phase. For ground water, this
generally is accomplished by injecting water into an air stream. Exhaust air may have to be treated (e.g.,
using carbon adsorption) to remove VOCs before discharge to the atmosphere.
• Carbon Adsorption - is a physiochemical process that involves using activated carbon as a sorbent to
primarily remove soluble organics from air and water. As contaminated ground water contacts activated
carbon, organic molecules become physically/chemically attached (i.e., adsorbed) to the carbon surface.
There are two basic types of activated carbon based on the size of the carbon particles: granular and
powdered.
• Chemical Treatment - involves chemical reduction-oxidation (redox) reactions in which the oxidation
state of at least one reactant is raised while that of another is lowered. Redox reactions can detoxify and
enhance biodegradability or adsorption (oxidation), or reduce solubility (reduction).
• Filtration - is a physical process that involves forcing contaminated ground water through a porous
granular-media filter (e.g., sand, anthracite) to remove suspended particles. Several mechanisms are
involved in filtering suspended particles from ground water, including straining, flocculation, and
sedimentation.
501
-------
SECTION VII
DESCRIPTION OF TREATMENT TECHNOLOGIES AND OTHER
ACTIONS FOR SOURCE AND GROUND WATER CONTROL (Continued)
• Flocculation - is a chemical/physical process that involves agitating chemically treated water to enhance
precipitation and induce coagulation. Fine suspended particles formed during precipitation collide
during gentle mixing, and agglomerate into larger heavier particles or floes and settle out. Flocculating
agents such as alum, lime, iron salts, and organic flocculating agents are added to reduce natural
repelling surface charges on particles, and physical agitation is used for the formation of large floes.
• Granular Activated Carbon - is carbon prepared by heating various types of woods eind coal to drive off
hydrocarbons but with insufficient air to sustain combustion. The resulting char is activated by exposure
to an oxidizing gas at high temperatures. The carbon particles generally are used in carbon adsorption
processes (see above).
• Ion Exchange - is a reversible process whereby toxic ions (i.e., anions and cations) in solution are
exchanged with less harmful, similarly charged ions electrostatically attached to a solid synthetic resin
material. The toxic ions have a stronger affinity to the resin, and will replace the original ions that were
placed on the resin before treatment. Once the available exchange sites on the resin are filled, the resin
can be regenerated.
• Neutralization (pH Adjustment) - is a chemical process that involves adding an acid! (e.g., sulfuric acid)
or base (e.g., lime) to adjust the pH. Neutralization may be used as a pretreatment before biological or
chemical treatment.
• Precipitation - is a physiochemical process that involves transforming a contaminan t from solution into
a solid phase. Precipitation for ground water remediation is used primarily for the removal of heavy
metals using such precipitating chemicals as lime, alum, or iron salts. Chemical precipitation is followed
frequently by flocculation to enhance settling of solid particles for subsequent removal by filtration or
sedimentation. Physical precipitation, including cooling, heating or altering the solvent concentration,
also can be used to alter solubilities and precipitate contaminants.
• Reverse Osmosis - is a physical separation process involving membrane filtration. Sufficient pressure
is applied to a concentrated solution to force the water from the solution to flow through a semi-
permeable membrane but selectively prevents impurities from passing through the membrane;
concentrations of impurities build up on the pressure induced side of the membrane. Reverse osmosis
is generally limited to polishing low flow streams containing highly toxic contaminants, and is especially
effective for high molecular weight organics and ions.
• Sedimentation - is the removal of suspended solids from wastewaters by the gravitational settling of
particles heavier than water. Sedimentation may be used in ground water treatment after biological
treatment or precipitation/flocculation to remove biomass or precipitants.
• UV Peroxidation - is a chemical oxidation process that uses hydrogen peroxide in the presence of a
catalyst to generate hydroxyl radicals that react with organics and reduced compounds to yield carbon
dioxide, water, salts, simple organic acids, and/or sulfates thereby reducing the toxicity and organic
content of wastewaters. The application of ultraviolet (UV) light to the waste treatment (photolysis) to
enhance/induce chemical transformations can be used in conjunction with peroxidation. A major
advantage of UV application is that specific bonds can be targeted by selecting the appropriate frequency
of the light source.

SECTION VII
DESCRIPTION OF TREATMENT TECHNOLOGIES AND OTHER
ACTIONS FOR SOURCE AND GROUND WATER CONTROL (Continued)
II. BIOLOGICAL
• Ex Situ Bioremediation - is a batch process that uses bacteria to degrade organic matter aerobically or
anaerobically. Aerobic bioremediation involves the conversion of organics to carbon dioxide, water, and
new bacteria cells. Anaerobic bioremediation generally involves the conversion of organics to carbon
dioxide and methane gas in the absence of molecular oxygen. There are several biological treatment
processes, including conventional activated sludge systems and fixed film systems (e.g., trickling filter,
biotower).
• In Situ Bigremediation - is an in situ process that uses natural populations or seeded bacteria in an aquifer
to transform organic contaminants (e.g., petroleum hydrocarbons) into less hazardous compounds
thereby reducing the concentration of hazardous substances. The biological process generally involves
the aerobic oxidation of organic compounds by bacteria, which produce water, carbon dioxide, and new
biomass as products. In situ biological treatment generally is accomplished via a ground water pumping
and reinjection system and is often limited by the ability to provide additional oxygen and nutrients to
the bacteria.
HI. OTHER
• Publicly Owned Treatment Works (PQTW) - encompasses any device or system used in the treatment
(including recycling and reclamation) of municipal or industrial wastes of a liquid nature, that is owned
by a State or municipality, including sewers, pipes, or other conveyances if they convey wastewater to
a facility providing treatment.
SOURCE AND GROUND WATER OTHER ACTIONS
Ground Water:
• Alternate Water Supply - involves either constructing a new water line from an existing water system,
or drilling a new water supply well(s) in an uncontaminated area, then connecting the residential systems
to the new line or well(s). This term also includes providing bottled water to residents, usually
temporarily, until construction of a new, more permanent water supply system is completed.
• Natural Attenuation - involves allowing natural, physical, chemical and biological processes to degrade
contaminants and lower contamination concentrations over time until cleanup levels are met.
Source Control:
* Capping - involves the construction of a protective cover over a landfill or other area containing wastes
or contamination. The objectives of capping include: (1) prevention of surface exposure of the wastes,
thereby preventing air and surface water contamination and the risk of direct contact with humans or the
environment, (2) reduction or elimination of infiltration of rain water or other precipitation into the waste,
thereby reducing the volume of leachate that is generated.
• Flaring - is a combustion reaction that thermally oxidizes (burns) flammable gaseous substances into
products that generally include ash, carbon dioxide and other gases, water vapor and heat through
exposure to open flame. Supplementary fuels may be needed to sustain continuous combustion. Flares
are commonly used during landfill closures to dispose of vented and landfill gases, or in remedial
503

SECTION VII
DESCRIPTION OF TREATMENT TECHNOLOGIES AND OTHER
ACTIONS FOR SOURCE AND GROUND WATER CONTROL (Continued)
treatment technologies producing simple hydrocarbon emissions. Although flares provide sufficient
destruction capabilities for conventional hydrocarbon emissions (methane, landfill gas), environmental
destruction efficiencies for many gaseous total organic hydrocarbon (TOC) compounds are generally too
stringent to be met by flaring.
• Slurry Wall - involves digging a deep trench and backfilling the trench with "slurry" — a wet mixture of
soil and bentonite clay or similar material that swells when wetted. The slurry mixture expands in the
trench, creating a relatively impermeable wall that inhibits the lateral flow of ground water. The
effectiveness of a slurry wall in controlling lateral flow can be greatly enhanced if the bottom of the well
is keyed into a naturally occurring horizontal flow barrier beneath the site, such as a clay layer, or other
relatively impermeable hydrogeologic unit.
• Venting - is often used in landfills to allow any gases generated by the buried decomposing wastes to be
collected and removed, either for treatment or for release into the atmosphere. Venting prevents the
dangerous buildup of potentially explosive gases within the landfill; excess gas accumulation can also
damage the integrity of the final cover/cap. In older landfills without liners, if the gases cannot escape
through venting, they may migrate out through the subsurface and come out in nearby wells, basements,
and streams.
