 Re:   DOW CHEMICAL COMPANY  -  MIDLAND  PLANT:
       WASTEWATER CHARACTERIZATION  STUDY


 The  attached  preliminary report presents the  results of a study of toxicant
 contamination  in discharges of the  Dow Chemical  Company at Midland, Michigan,
 and  in the waters of the Tittabawassee River  near the Dow plant.   The study
 was  performed to assist  the  State  of Michigan  in  the development of effluent
 limitations to be included in a revised NPDES  wastewater discharge permit
 for  Dow.   The final  report of the  study will  be completed this  summer.*

 Samples  of Dow's Midland plant wastewater effluents were collected and analyzed
 for  a wide range of  pollutants.   In  addition,  fish were held in cages for 28 days
 in  the Tittabawassee River at the  point where  Dow's effluent is discharged  as
 well  as  upstream and downstream of the plant.  The exposed fish were analyzed
 to determine  the concentrations of toxicants  that had accumulated in their
 tissues.  Of  the pollutants  examined in both wastewater and fish, dioxins were
 given particular emphasis.

 Field work for the study,  including  all  sample collection, was  completed in
 September  1981.   Because of  the complexity  of  the analysis and  the need to
 perfect  methods  to analyze samples in the sub-parts per trillion range, the
 completion of this report  was delayed until now.

 More than 40  toxic organic chemicals were identified and quantified  in the  main
 process  wastewater outfall,  most in  the low part  per billion range.   Discharge
 of toxic organic pollutants  from the plant  is  estimated to exceed 6  tons per
 year.  More than 30  organic  chemicals were  found  in whole fish  exposed to the
 main outfall  plume at levels ranging from a few parts per billion to over 1 part
 per  million.   These  chemicals include chlorinated benzenes and  phenols, and
 certain  pesticides.

 A number of dioxin isomers were found in the  discharges and the caged fish.  The
 most toxic dioxin isomer,  2,3,7,8-tetrachloro  dibenzo-p-dioxin, was  found at a
 level  of 50 parts per quadrillion  in the main  process effluent  and at 100 parts
 per  trillion  in  whole fish exposed to the effluent plume.   The  complete results
 from the fish bio-accumulation study are not yet  available.   The remaining
 analyses will  be completed this  summer.

I.   INTRODUCTION
    In the spring and summer  of  1981,  the Michigan Department of Natural
Resources (MDNR)  and Region V of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
cooperated  in  development  of  a  wastewater characterization study for the
Midland Plant of the Dow Chemical  Company USA, Michigan Division.  The plant
is located in Midland, Michigan, on the Tittabawassee River in Midland County,
(Figure 1).  The MDNR and EPA-Region V conducted this study because  of the
nature of the  process operations at Dow Chemical, concern over actual and
potential discharges of toxic  substances  from the Midland Plant, and lack of
cooperation from Dow Chemical to provide requested wastewater discharge and
production process information.  The study results, along with other information
being  sought from  Dow Chemical, will  be  used to develop a  Best  Available
Technology (BAT) NPDES permit for the Midland Plant which  will effectively
regulate the discharge of toxic pollutants.
    The  purposes of  this  summary report  are to  present  a compilation of
currently available  data from the study and  to present preliminary findings and
conclusions regarding the character of the Dow  Chemical discharge.  The final
report on this study will include all of the  raw data and quality assurance for the
data as well as  the sampling and  analytical protocols used in this study.  The final
report will present  comparisons  of  the available  discharge data  from this study
with historical  discharge data,  and, comparisons of  the bioaccumulation study
results with results from other bioaccumulation studies and native fish data.  The
final report will also identify, at least in part, those operations and production
processes  at the  Midland Plant recommended for evaluation and further study
and assess compliance  with current NPDES permit conditions.  The final  report
will not assess  the  potential  human health impacts of the discharges from Dow
Chemical as that  is  beyond  the scope of this study. In conducting the study, EPA
and MDNR provided split or duplicate samples to Dow Chemical for its analyses.
Dow Chemical  data for these split and duplicate samples will be evaluated by
EPA and MDNR upon receipt.
    A major problem with complex field studies is the time required  to  obtain
the final results.  This  continues to  be a particular problem  with this study as a
substantial number of organic chemical analyses of complex sample matrices and

-------
the development of new sampling and analytical methods were required.   The
initial planning for this survey was based, in part, upon the availability of EPA
laboratory resources, specifically for analyses of the large-volume water samples
and bioaccumulation samples for poly chlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and
polychlorinated  dibenzofurans (PCDFs).   EPA laboratory resources were not
available at the time the field studies  were to begin. As a result, Region V was
compelled to secure analytical contractors for virtually the entire project.  The
difficulty in obtaining numerous contracts and contract amendments with the
required detection levels and analytical quality assurance; the financial resources
required; and the complexity of the analyses contributed to the  delay in obtaining
results.  At this  writing,  not all  of  the  data are  available.   This  report  was
prepared in the interest of providing the currently available data.
    The planning for this study was  completed by the EPA  Region V Eastern
District Office in consultation with the then Region V Enforcement Division; the
Region V  Central Regional Laboratory; the  MDNR  Office of Toxic Materials
Control (now the Toxic Chemicals Evaluation Section); the Great Lakes National
Program Office; and, the then  Region V  Air  and Hazardous Materials Division.
The water sampling field work was conducted  by the Eastern District Office and
the bioaccumulation study  was conducted by the MDNR  and  Central Regional
Laboratory.  The Region V Quality Assurance Office reviewed and approved all
analytical protocols.  The  Central Regional Laboratory managed all  laboratory
contracts and provided quality assurance audits of the analytical contractors.
    The term "dioxin"  is often used to describe 2,3,7,8-tetrachloro dibenzo-p-
dioxin (2,3,7,8-TCDD).  The isomer 2,3,7,8-TCDD is the most toxic of the dioxin
isomers.  In this report,  the term "PCDDs" means all polychlorinated dibenzo-p-
dioxin isomers and "PCDFs" means all polychlorinated dibenzofuran isomers.

 II.   OBJECTIVES
     The primary objective of this study is  to  quantify the conventional,  non-
 conventional,  toxic organic and toxic inorganic pollutant discharges from  the
 Dow  Chemical  -  Midland Plant.   This information and data  will be  used to
 develop a Best Available Technology (BAT)  NPDES permit for Dow Chemical.
 The  permit conditions  are likely  to  include specific effluent limitations for
 certain organic pollutants; the regulation of  others through the use of indicator
 pollutants; a compliance schedule  for additional in-process controls and end-of-
 pipe treatment; and, conventional and special monitoring requirements.
     Secondary objectives  include:  (1) a determination  of the types  and  the
 extent of bioaccumulation of pollutants  discharged by Dow  Chemical  in  fish;
 (2) sub-part per trillion  analyses  of effluent samples  for PCDDs and  PCDFs;
 (3) development of information on  contamination of fish, sediment, and water in
 the Tittabawassee River; and (4) analyses of native fish from the Grand River for
 PCDDs and PCDFs.
IIL   SCOPE OF WORK
     To accomplish  the study  objectives,  a multi-phased  field program was
 planned in the spring and summer of 1981 and executed in late summer and early
 fall of 1981. Field programs included the following:  (1) a sediment survey of the
 Tittabawassee River to determine whether  significant toxic pollutant contami-
 nation of the sediments has occurred; (2) four 24-hour composite samples of Dow
 Chemical   water  intakes  and   effluent discharges  to  determine  pollutant
 discharges  at the  low parts per  billion range;  (3) one large-volume 24-hour
 composite sample of Dow  Chemical water intakes, certain effluent discharges,
 and  the receiving water  to determine  discharge  rates of dioxin and  furan
 compounds in the sub-part  per trillion range; (4) a  static daphnia bioassay and  an
 algal  assay to  determine  whether or  not the  Dow  Chemical  main process
 wastewater effluent exhibits acute toxic effects or stimulatory effects on algal
 growth; (5) an Ames test of the  main process wastewater  discharge to determine
 whether the effluent exhibits mutagenic properties; (6) a fish bioaccumulation
 study to determine the level and rate of bioaccumulation of pollutants discharged
 by Dow Chemical; and, (7) analyses of  native fish  from the  Grand  River  for
 organic compounds.

IV.   FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS

     A.   Based upon the results of this study, the Dow Chemical - Midland Plant
 contributes the following discharges to the Tittabawassee River:
                                                       Net
                                                Annual Discharge
                                                   in Excess of
              Total Dissolved Solids               125,000 Tons
                 Chlorides                         60,000 Tons
                 Sulfates                           10,000 Tons
              Chemical Oxygen Demand              5,000 Tons
              Total Organic Carbon                   700 Tons
              Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen                  275 Tons
              Ammonia-Nitrogen                       250 Tons
              Phosphorus (as P)                        40 Tons
              Toxic Organic Pollutants                   6 Tons
              Toxic Metal Pollutants                    4 Tons
              Phenols (4AAP)                           1 Ton

 More than 40 toxic organic chemicals were identified and quantified in the main
 process wastewater discharge  from Outfall 031.  Most  were  found in  the low
 parts per billion range.  A number  of organic chemicals were identified but not
 quantified.   Thus, the  total  discharge  of  organic  pollutants  is  probably
 considerably higher than the amount listed above.  The effluent does not contain
 a significant amount of  readily biodegradable carbonaceous material. The toxic
 metals  analyzed  were  found  in  the low parts per billion  range,  generally at
 concentrations  below most ambient water  quality criteria.  Dow  Chemical did
 not report any abnormal  operations of the wastewater treatment facilities or
 process-related spills during the surveys.

      B.   The results of the large-volume water  sampling for polychlorinated
 dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and polychlorinated dibenzofurans and the bioaccum-
 ulation  study demonstrate that the discharge from Dow Chemical is a source of

-------
PCDDs and PCDFs in the Tittabawassee River/Saginaw Bay system.  The isomer
2,3,7,8-TCDD was positively identified in the discharge  from Outfall 031  at a
concentration of 50 parts per quadrillion (ppq) and in the plume of Outfall 031 in
the Tittabawassee River at a concentration of 45 ppq.  Four tetrachioro dioxin
isomers were found in Outfall 005 at a total concentration of 2300 ppq  and two
tetrachioro dioxin isocners were found in Outfall 031  at a total concentration of
80 ppq.    The isomer 2,3,7,8-TCDD and other  PCDDs   detected   in  both
Outfalls 031 and  005 were not detected in the  Tittabawassee River and  Lake
Huron water intakes to the Dow Chemical plant. Outfall 031  is the main process
wastewater discharge from the plant and Outfall 005 contains  the discharge  from
the power house fly  ash pond.  The isomer 2,3,7,8-TCDF and other PCDFs  were
also found in the discharges from Outfalls 005 and 031. The concentrations of all
PCDFs found in both outfalls exceeded 9000 ppq.  The specific sources  of these
compounds at the Dow Chemical - Midland Plant have not been identified.
    If these data represent  typical discharge rates, about 1/3 pound of  a pound
of PCDDs and 10 pounds of PCDFs are released directly to  the Tittabawassee
River on an annual basis by  Dow Chemical. The discharges of PCDDs,  PCDFs,
and other organic pollutants measured during this survey are probably less than
would have been found in the past owing to process and production changes made
by Dow Chemical prior to this survey.

    C.   The  complete results from the caged fish bioaccumulation study are not
available at this  writing.  Herbicide analyses for all sampling stations  are not
complete, and data for PCDDs and PCDFs are not available for certain stations.
    The  available data for PCDDs and PCDFs demonstrate that PCDDs and
PCDFs discharged by Dow Chemical concentrate in fish held in a mixture of the
discharge from  Outfall 031  and  the Tittabawassee  River at  the point  of
discharge. Levels of 2,3,7,8-TCDD reached 100 ppt (0.1 ppb) in whole fish, while
the concentration of all PCDD isomers ranged  from 820 to 1280 ppt  (0.82  to
1.28 ppb). The FDA guideline for 2,3,7,8-TCDD is 50 ppt in edible portions  of
fish. There are, as yet, no guidelines for other PCDD isomers. PCDDs were not
found in  fish  held at various points upstream of the Dow Chemical plant or in
unexposed fish at concentrations greater than 8 ppt.  Data are not  yet available
for fish held downstream of the plant. PCDFs were found in the  fish exposed to

-------
 the discharge of Outfall 031 at levels  ranging from 6480 to  17,200 ppt (6.48 to
 17.2 ppb).   Upstream control  fish  showed  relatively little contamination by
 PCDFs (8 to 290 ppt).
     More than 30 other  organic chemicals were also found in fish exposed to the
 plume of Outfall 031 at levels ranging from  a  few ppb  to over  1 ppm.  These
 chemicals include chlorinated benzenes and phenols, and certain pesticides.

     D.  The  discharge  from  Outfall 031 was  found  not be acutely  toxic to
 Daphnia magna over one 48-hour static bioassay testing period; and, not acutely
 toxic to catfish held continuously for 28 days in a mixture of the discharge and
 the Tittabawassee River at the point of discharge.   Native fish often have been
 observed in the plume of the discharge. The discharge did not exhibit  mutagenic
 properties in one series  of Ames tests (direct test and RLEA test).  Based upon
 one  algal assay, the discharge from Outfall 031  has a higher stimulatory  effect
 on algal growth than the river intake  water.  Although the discharge  was found
 not to be acutely toxic,  given the number  and type of compounds discharged, the
 potential chronic or long term effects of the discharge are still of  concern.

     E.  The current practice at Dow Chemical is to mix  and treat large volumes
 of cooling water  with the process wastewaters, thus diluting  the  concentrations
 of pollutants  found  in the process wastewaters.  Because of the relatively low
 concentrations of most of the organic chemicals discharged  by Dow  Chemical,
 the most effective method to achieve further reduction in the mass discharge of
 these pollutants is to isolate the contributing sources at the  production process
 unit and provide, where appropriate,  additional process-specific pretreatment
 facilities.  At this writing,  Dow Chemical has not provided sufficient information
 and  data to EPA and the MDNR for  evaluation of alternate  pollution control
 measures.
V.   RECOMMENDATIONS

     A.  The sources of PCDDs, PCDFs, and the other organic chemicals found
 in Outfall 031 should be identified.  Likewise, the source of PCDDs and PCDFs
 found in  Outfall 005 should be determined.  Additional testing  for  PCDDs and

-------
PCDFs  at  similar and  different industrial and municipal facilities  should  be
conducted to determine the potential for widespread low-level discharge of these
compounds  from  other  sources.   Comprehensive  multi-media  investigations
covering atmosphere emissions, deposition on soil,  solid wastes,  and  untreated
and  treated wastewater should be conducted  at selected  industrial  sites,
including Dow  Chemical, to determine the  pathways  to the environment for
PCDDs and PCDFs.

    B.   The feasibility  of additional in-process, end-of-process, and end-of-pipe
treatment at Dow Chemical should be established where appropriate.

    C.   The remaining  fish data for herbicides, PCDDs,  and PCDFs  should  be
obtained as soon as possible.

    D.   EPA and MDNR should obtain and evaluate Dow Chemical data for split
samples provided to Dow Chemical from this survey.

    E.   Dow  Chemical  should document  the  effect on  the  discharge of any
changes in production operations,  air pollution control, or wastewater treatment
operations that have occurred since this study was completed.

VI.   DOW CHEMICAL - MIDLAND PLANT

     A.   General Plant Description
     The Dow Chemical - Midland Plant is  an  operating unit of the Michigan
 Division of Dow  Chemical USA.  The facility is located in Midland, Michigan, and
 extends along both banks of the Tittabawassee River (see Figure 2). The Midland
 Plant is one of  the largest  chemical manufacturing  complexes in the United
 States and is operated continuously.  About 5000 people  are employed at the
 plant.  The following types of chemicals are produced:

     1.   Alkalies and Chlorine
     2.   Cyclic Intermediates
     3.   Industrial Organic Chemicals
     4.   Industrial Inorganic Chemicals
     5.   Plastic Materials, Synthetic Resins, and Non-Vulcanizable Elastomers
     6.   Medicinal Chemicals and Botanical Products
     7.   Surface Active Agents, Finishing Agents, and Sulfonated  Oils
     8.   Pesticides and Agricultural Chemicals

     Dow  Chemical  discharges contact and  non-contact cooling waters,  storm
 water runoff, and treated process and sanitary wastewaters to the Tittabawassee
 River through five outfalls.   In addition to  the wastewaters generated at the
 Midland Plant, the company also treats wastewater from other industries.  These
 include  about 1.7 MGD of process wastewaters from the  nearby Dow Corning
 silicone products facility; about 0.18 MGD  of sanitary  and laboratory  waste-
 waters  from the Consumers Power Midland  Nuclear Plant; about 0.02 MGD of
 truck washing wastewaters from  the  Chemical Leaman and Coastal Trucking
 Line at  Midland; and,  about 500 gallons per  day of leachate  from the Dow
 Chemical Salzburg Road landfill.
     According  to Dow Chemical's most recent NPDES permit application, the
 average daily wastewater flows from these outfalls are as follows:

                          Outfall 005 -   3.9  MGD
                          Outfall 012 - 30.0  MGD
                          Outfall 01* -   0.7  MGD
                          Outfall 015 -   0.3  MGD
                          Outfall 031 - 26.5  MGD
                               Total - 61.*  MGD

The average discharge for Outfall 031 on the sampling dates for this survey was
35.* MGD.  Most of the discharge is comprised of Tittabawassee River water
diverted at the Dow Dam into the plant for process and cooling purposes. Other
intake water sources include the city of  Midland (1.* MGD) and  Lake Huron
(10.5 MGD).  Lake Huron water is chlorinated and  demineralized prior to use in
various processes.  The  other intake waters are generally  not  treated prior  to
use.
    A description of the  sources  of effluent  discharged  through  the outfalls
active during the EPA-MDNR survey is presented below:

        Outfall 002 - At the time of the survey, the discharge was about 5 MGD
    to the Tittabawassee River via Lingie  Drain.  The discharge has since  been
    diverted to  the wastewater treatment  facilities tributary to  Outfall 031.
    The discharge consisted of untreated non-contact cooling water from coolers
    and heat  exchangers in the monomer and  polymer  plastic production  area
    and various hydrocarbon production processes.
        Outfall 005 - The discharge from this outfall is overflow  from an ash
    pond  serving the power house.  Cooling water,  general use water, and boiler
    blowdown  are also diverted to the  ash pond.   The  discharge is to the
    Tittabawassee River via Ashby Drain.
        Outfall  012 -  Dow Chemical refers to this outfall  as the "H" flume.
    Non-contact cooling water from the west power house condensers and excess
    river  water are discharged directly to the Tittabawassee River.
        Outfall  031 -  This  discharge consists of treated  process wastewaters,
    cooling water, water  softener  backwash,  cooling  tower  blowdown, incin-

    treatment facility followed by a large settling pond called the tertiary pond.
    The  discharge is from the tertiary pond to the Tittabawassee River. Dow
    Chemical has also installed numerous in-process  product and by-product
    recovery systems and pollution control systems. However, the company has
    provided only limited  information  to EPA and MDNR about the  processes
    and  the  treatment systems.   According to MDNR records,  Dow  Chemical
    made several process  modifications in the period 1978 to 1981 which were
    designed to improve the discharge from Outfall 031.

    Other   active   Dow   Chemical  outfalls   not  described   above  include
Outfalls 001, 014, and  015.  Outfall 001  serves as a standby for Outfall 031.
Outfalls 014  and 015  convey  air  conditioner  cooling  water from  the  plant
administration building directly to the Tittabawassee River. These outfalls were
not sampled during the EPA-MDNR survey.

    B.   Waste Management at the Dow Chemical - Midland Plant
    Solid and  liquid  wastes generated  at Dow  Chemical and  wastewaters
received  from  outside sources  are disposed  of by  one  of  four  methods:
(1) concentrated liquids and burnable solid wastes are incinerated; (2) "biodegrad-
able" dilute liquids and a substantial volume of cooling water are processed in the
wastewater  treatment facilities  tributary  to Outfall 031;  (3) non-biodegradable
dilute liquids are injected in one of several deep-wells; and,  (4) non-burnable solid
wastes are landfilled.

    Wastewater Treatment Plant - "Biodegradable" dilute liquids (process and
sanitary wastewaters) are  separated into two categories -  phenolic wastewaters
and other organic wastewaters. Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the  biological
treatment systems  used to treat these wastewaters.   Wastewaters  from the
phenolic  processes  are pumped  to the phenolics pretreatment  system, where
suspended solids  are removed by primary clarification. The  wastewaters are then
processed in  trickling filters  and  an activated sludge system operated in series.
After final clarification,  the  phenolic  plant effluent is directed to the larger
biological treatment  facility for further treatment  with  all of the  remaining
wastewaters described above.
                                    12

-------
    The wastewaters are collected and directed to primary settling tanks where
suspended solids are removed.  Wastewaters high in BOD and toxic wastewaters
can be  diverted to a "shot" pond during spills or emergencies and metered  into
the treatment system at a controlled rate. The overflow from the primary tanks
is  combined  with the  effluent from the phenolics treatment plant prior to
entering activated  sludge aeration basins for biological treatment.  From the
aeration basins, the wastewater is fed to secondary clarifiers.  Settled activated
sludge is recycled to the aeration basins. Effluent from the secondary clarifier is
pumped  to the teritiary pond, which is  about 200 acres  in area and  has a
maximum capacity of about 600 million gallons.  The retention time in the pond
provides for  temperature equalization and  continued biological  action.   The
effluent from the tertiary pond is discharged to the Tittabawassee River through
Outfall  031.
    Primary  sludge from the biological treatment facility is pumped to clay pits
located  near the intersection of Saginaw and Salzburg Roads and dewatered.  The
dewatered sludge  is ultimately disposed of at Dow Chemical's  Salzburg Road
landfill.  The  supernatant from the clay pits is returned  to the wastewater
treatment plant.  Sludge from  the phenolic treatment system is either recycled
or processed  in the other biological treatment system.   Secondary sludge from
the biological treatment system is thickened, filtered and incinerated.

    Incineration - The incineration area includes a rotary kiln (refuse burner) and
a tar  burner (thermal oxidizer). The  tar burner is a standby unit for the  rotary
kiln.  The tar burner operates  at 1000°C in a single combustion chamber  with a
retention time  of about  2 seconds.  Only liquids or gases are incinerated in this
unit.  The liquid feed rate is 7.5 gpm.  The refuse  burner is fed solid and liquid
wastes.    The rotary kiln or  primary  combustion chamber  provides about 45
minutes retention  at  600-800°C.    Exit  gases are  routed  to a  secondary
combustion area where they are subjected to 1000°C at a retention time of about
2 seconds. The refuse burner is fired with tars or natural gas.  Both units have
qualified for interim status under RCRA.
    Incinerator ash is landfilled at the Salzburg Road landfill. Incinerator stack
gases are scrubbed with effluent from the wastewater treatment system.  The
scrubber effluent is then returned to the wastewater treatment system.
                                     13

-------
    Landfill - Dow Chemical has been operating a landfill located on Salzburg
Road  since January 1981.  The landfill was approved  by MDNR for  hazardous
waste disposal on February 10, 1982, and has qualified for interim status under
RCRA.    As  noted  above,  incinerator  ash,  wastewater  treatment  sludges,
contaminated soil, and demolition material are currently landfilled at this site.
Leachate  collected  from the landfill is diverted to the wastewater  treatment
plant.

    Disposal Wells -  Dow  Chemical disposes  of  a small volume  of process
wastewaters  by  deep  well  injection.   These  wastewaters cannot  be  readily
treated  by other means.  About 18 gpm are passed through sand filters and then
pumped  into the  receiving underground formation.   Dow  Chemical had operated
as many as seven deep disposal wells and had disposed of as much as 120 gpm in
this fashion in the past. Wastewaters disposed of by deep well injection contain
several  organic compounds and are typically high in dissolved salts.  According to
the MDNR critical materials list for the disposal  wells  submitted by  Dow
Chemical,  some  of the compounds  injected  are  benzenes,  dioxins, phenols,
metals,  PCBs, styrene, chloroform and others.

 VIL   FIELD STUDIES

       A.  Sediment Sampling
       A sediment  survey of the Tittabawassee River from  0.5 miles upstream of State
   Route M-20 downstream to Smith's Crossing Road was  conducted  on March 18-19, 1981.
   River sediment grab samples were obtained  for analysis  at  eight locations shown on
   Figure 2.  The locations of the sampling sites for the  water sampling  survey described
   below are also presented in Figure 2. Each sediment sampling site  is described in Table 1.
   Because the stream bottom is mostly sand and gravel, an attempt was made to select sites
   which appeared to have accumulations  of  organic material.  For this reason,  the samples
   do not represent average or typical Tittabawassee River sediment  quality.  However, the
   data obtained do  provide an indication  of  the types  of  compounds discharged in the area
   that accumulate in sediments. The results presented in Appendix A show that more than
   40% of  the compounds positively identified  and  quantified  were either  benzenes or
   benzene derivatives.  Also, more  than 90% of the  compounds detected  were found in
   samples obtained at sampling stations which are near or downstream of Dow Chemical -
   Midland  Plant discharges.   Only  one compound,  di-n-octylphthalate, was identified
   upstream of the Dow Dam. Several unidentified compounds were detected in some of the
   sediment  samples.  Given the nature of the sediments and anticipated discharge levels of
   PCDDs and PCDFs from  Dow Chemical, the sediment samples  were  not analyzed  for
   PCDDs or PCDFs.

       B.  Conventional Water Sampling Program
       During  September 1981, four 24-hour composite sampling programs were conducted at
   the Dow Chemical - Midland Plant. The sampling dates, the water intakes, and  selected
   effluent discharges sampled are listed below:

Outfalls 014 and  015 were not sampled since the discharge from these outfalls is office
building air conditioning water.  The samples obtained from each of the above listed  sites
were  analyzed  for  conventional pollutants,  non-conventional  pollutants, toxic metal
pollutants, and toxic organic pollutants.  Various physical measurements were also made
during each  24-hour  sampling  period.   The gross  discharges  from  Outfall 031  are
summarized below.  The complete data will be included in the final report.  A summary of
the gross pollutant loadings at each point sampled is presented in Appendix B.

The   discharge  from  Outfall 031   carries  high  loadings  of  dissolved  salts  to  the
Tittabawassee River (total  dissolved solids concentrations ranging from  about 2,800 to
3,000 mg/1; chloride concentrations ranging from about 1,200 mg/1 to 1,300 mg/1; sulfate
concentrations ranging from about 280 to 300 mg/1). The discharge contains relatively low
                                         18

    levels of suspended solids and readily biodegradable material.  As noted in Section C, the
    discharge of nutrients can have a stimulatory effect on algal growth.

    Based upon these data, the discharge of the above toxic metals from Outfall 03 1 does not
    appear to be of concern from a water quality standpoint. Typical effluent concentrations
    are as follows:  arsenic (ND to 3 ppb); cadmium (ND); chromium (8  to 14 ppb); copper (ND
    to 5 ppb); lead (ND); and zinc (60 to 100 ppb).

    f.   Other Organic Compounds
    The concentrations of the compounds listed below were determined by the analyst by
selecting the best fit from a computerized library search program to the  mass spectra
obtained  for  each sample.  The quantitation of these compounds  was not  accomplished
using a pure standard of each compound, but was  calculated against the response  of an
internal standard.  Thus,  the pollutant loading data and identification of each compound
presented below are  considered tentative.

The discharge from Outfall 031 contains more than 50 organic chemicals including volatile
compounds,  base/neutral compounds, acid compounds, pesticides, PCBs, and herbicides.
Most of the compounds were detected at concentrations  in the low and sub-ppb  range.  If
lower levels of  detection were available, it  is likely more chemicals would have been
found,  particularly  those found in the untreated wastewaters  (such as the Dow Corning
effluent).   While the  effluent is  not acutely toxic  (see Section C),  the continued net
discharge  of more  than 35  ibs/day of toxic  organic  chemicals to the environment is of
concern.  Methylene chloride and discharges of those chemicals listed in item f above
were.not  included in this estimate.  On an annual basis, 35 Ibs/day  is equivalent  to over
6 tons/year.

   • C.  Static Daphnia Bioassay, Algal Assay, Ames Test

    1.   Static Bioassay
    Static bioassays,  using  Daphnia magna,  were completed on samples obtained  during
the third conventional  water survey, September 15-16, 1981. The samples were obtained
from the  Dow Chemical Lake Huron and  Tittabawassee  River  Intakes, Outfall 031, and a
field blank.  The bioassay was begun on September 22, 1981, and conducted according to
the protocol outlined  in "Standard  Operating Procedure for  Static Bioassay  Screening
Test,"  EPA  Region V - Central Regional  Laboratory.  The  results of the bioassay are
presented in Table 2.
    The Lake  Huron  Intake  sample produced  100% mortality in  both aliquots.   The
mortalities are due to the presence of chlorine in the sample which was not removed prior
to testing.  The Lake Huron water supply is chlorinated by  Dow  Chemical at its lake
pumping station. The  mortalities observed in the other  samples, including the  blank and
controls are not considered significant.  The discharge from Outfall 031 on September 15-
16, 1981, did not exhibit acute toxic effects to Daphnia magna.

    2.   Algal Assay
    A  static algal  assay was conducted on the same samples collected  for the daphnia
bioassay.  The algal assay followed  the procedure,  "Standard  Operating Procedure for
Screening  Algal Assay for  Determination  of Inhibiting  or  Stimulating  Effects  of
Effluents," EPA  Region V - Central Regional Laboratory.  The results, which are based on
a comparison to a control population, are presented below in Table 3.

              Lake Huron Intake                    Inhibition      51.3%
              Tittabawassee River Intake          Stimulation    63.9%

              Field  Blank                          Stimulation   102.8%

The  Lake Huron sample inhibited algal growth because  of  the  chlorine present in the
sample.  The  discharge from  Outfall 031 and  the  field blank showed high stimulatory
effects on algal growth.  The  effect produced by the discharge from Outfall 031  is about
twice  that of  the  field blank and  three times higher than  the Tittabawassee  River
upstream of Outfall 031.   This is due to the level of nutrients in the discharge.  The
observed stimulatory effect in the field  blank  is believed  to  be a result  of low  level
nutrient concentrations present in the sample, possibly the result of the bottle preparation
or the distilled water used to make up the blank.

    3.  Ames Test
    The Ames Test  was used  for the purpose of determining whether the discharge  from
Outfall 031 exhibits mutagenic  properties.   This  test was conducted  on  the  samples
described  above.  For each sample, a concentrated sample extract (100X) was used to
conduct a direct test and a rat liver enzyme activation (RLEA)  test for five  bacteria test
strains. No mutagenic activity was found in either the direct or the RLEA test.

    D.  Large Volume Water Sampling for PCDDs and PCDFs
    A pilot study was conducted  for EPA-Region V  by Wright State University to develop
a sampling and analytical method to determine  PCDDs and PCDFs in aqueous samples in
the sub-part per trillion range. In short, this method consists of obtaining a large volume
water sample; performing an extraction with a  suitable solvent for an extended period;
solvent exchange and clean-up; and HRGC-HRMS analyses of the  extract for  the desired
                                        25

-------
compounds.  After completion of the pilot study, actual effluent and river samples were
obtained.  Based  upon the quality control completed with the pilot study and  with  the
analyses of the field samples, all of the data for PCDDs and PCDFs presented below are
considered to be of acceptable quality.  Reference is made to Appendix C for  a  summary
of the analytical methodology and quality control for the large volume sampling study.
    One  24-hour  composite water sample was taken at each  of the following points  and
extracted and  analyzed for polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and  poiychlorinated dibenzo
furans  in  accordance with the protocols summarized in Appendix C.  Dow Chemical  was
provided split samples for its analysis along with  the extraction and analytical protocols.

    The results from this study are presented graphically in Figures 4 and 5 for dioxins,
and Figures 6 and 7 for furans. The data are presented in Appendix D.

    1.   Dioxins
    Neither 2,3,7,8-TCDD nor any other dioxin isomers were found in the water intakes to
the Dow Chemical Plant at the 10 parts  per quadrillion (ppq)  level. 2,3,7,8-TCDD was  not
detected,  but  may have been present in Outfall 005. The high levels of other tetrachloro
isomers may have  obscured  the response of  the 2,3,7,8 isomer  in that  sample.   The
combined  concentration  of  five other tetrachloro  isomers  found in the discharge from
Outfall 005 exceeded 2000 ppq (the  mass discharge to the Tittabawassee River was about
7 x 10~  Ibs/day).   None of the penta-, hexa-, hepta-, or octachloro isomers were  detected
in Outfall 005.
    2,3,7,8-TCDD was positively identified in the discharge from  Outfall 031 at a level of
50 parts  per quadrillion  (mass discharge of between 1  and 2 x 10"  Ibs/day).  The total
                                        26

-------
mass  discharge  of  the two  tetrachloro isomers found  in  Outfaii 031 was in  excess  of
2 x 10~  Ibs/day.  2,3,7,8-TCDD, an additional  tetrachloro isomer, and one  pentachloro
dioxin isomer were found in the discharge plume of Outfall 031 in the Tittabawassee  River
in the range of  35  to 50  parts per quadrillion.  Three tetrachloro isomers, not including
2,3,7,8-TCDD, were found downstream  in the  Tittabawassee  River  at Smith's  Crossing
Road  at a total concentration of '40 parts per quadrillion.

    2.   Furans
    The results  for  polychiorinated  dibenzo furans are  similar to  those  for dioxins
although furans were  detected at higher levels.  Both the Lake Huron and Tittabawassee
River water intakes  contained  detectable  quantities of 2,3,7,8-TCDF and a few  other
isomers at less than  100 ppq, while the discharges from Outfalls 005 and 031  contained
significantly higher  concentrations   of  2,3,7,8-TCDF  (about  1700 ppq  and  800 ppq,
respectively) and other tetra- and  penta- chloro isomers (several  thousand ppq for both
outfalls).    The  discharge from  Outfall 005  may  have  influenced the  results  for the
Tittabawassee River intake sample as  the outfall empties into the river upstream of the
intake.    The  mass   discharge  of  all  furan  isomers  from  Outfall 005  was  about
33 x 10~5 Ibs/day, and nearly  300 x 10~5 Ibs/day  from  Outfall 031.  PCDFs were also  found
in the Outfall 031 plume and downstream in the Tittabawassee River at Smith's Crossing.

    E.   Bioaccumulation Study
    A bioaccumuiation study was conducted  in the Tittabawassee River around the Dow
Chemical - Midland Plant to determine which toxic organic chemicals discharged by Dow
Chemical bioaccumulate  in fish exposed to the effluent.  Caged catfish were exposed to
the  plume  of  Dow  Chemical's  process  wastewater  effluent  (Outfall 031)  in  the
Tittabawassee River for a period of 28 days.   Whole  fish were analyzed after various
periods  of exposure for PCDDs, PCDFs, and other organic compounds.  The caged fish
were  fed during  the experiment to maintain their body weight and general health.  All of
the fish were acclimated  in a laboratory prior to the study.  Caged fish were also exposed
to the Tittabawassee River both upstream and downstream of Dow Chemical to establish
appropriate controls and  reference points. At the  request of the MDNR, caged fish were
placed in the Grand River at Jones Road near Grand Ledge, Michigan and analyzed with
native fish from  the Grand River.
    The original study  plan called  for exposing  the  fish directly to  Dow  Chemical's
process  wastewater effluent at  the outlet  of  the tertiary  pond just upstream  from
Outfall  031  and  also  analyzing  native fish  from the tertiary  pond.  However,  Dow
Chemical objected, contending that EPA's legal authority under Section 308 of the  Clean
Water Act does  not extend to such activities. Rather than engage in lengthy arguments,
and possibly litigation, over  this  matter, the study  plan was modified to place the  caged
fish in the plume of Outfall 031 in the Tittabawassee River rather than in the outlet of the
tertiary  pond.   Based  upon conductivity and  dissolved  solids  measurements of  the
discharge from Outfall 031  and  the  plume,  the fish  in the plume were exposed to the
outfall discharge diluted at or less than 1:1 by river water.
    The locations at which caged  fish were  exposed are  listed  below and shown  on
Figure 8.

    The final report of this  study will present a detailed account of the bioaccumulation
study, including the field and analytical protocols followed.  The results available at this
writing  are summarized in Figures 9 to  15.  Because of the high cost for contract analyses
for PCDDs and PCDFs, Region V limited the  initial set of analyses to selected  samples.
These  included  the fish  food,  control fish,  and  caged  fish exposed for  28  days  at
Stations A, B,  1, and  3.   Based  upon the results presented here, analyses  for  selected
samples  at  Stations 2, 3,  4, and 5  for  dioxins and  furans are  now being completed.
Analyses for  other toxic organic chemicals  except herbicides have been completed.  The
herbicide  analyses  should  be available in  the near future.   Except  as noted, the data
presented below are considered by  EPA to  be valid data based upon  the  quality control
work completed.   Reference is made to Appendix E for all  of the data available at this
writing  from  the bioaccumulation study.  Reference is made to Appendix F for a summary
of the  analytical protocols and quality  control for  the  analyses of PCDDs and PCDFs in
fish.
    All  of  the results  presented  below  are based upon analyses of the  whole fish.
Separate analyses of fish  filets or fatty tissue were not completed.  Dow Chemical was
provided with split samples of the ground fish for  its analyses.

    1.    Dioxins and Furans
    Figure 9 illustrates that 2,3,7,8-TCDD was  found  in fish exposed for 28 days in  the
plume  of Outfall 031   at  levels of about 100 parts per  trillion  (ppt).    The  total
concentration of  tetrachloro PCDD  isomers found was about  800 ppt.   Also, three
pentachloro PCDD isomers were found in  a  duplicate sample (second fish) at  a  total

-------
concentration of  about  500 ppt.  2,3,7,3-TCDD was found at  7 ppt (near the detectable
level of 5 ppt) in the  control fish and  at 8 ppt in the  fish held for 28 days  at Station 1
upstream from Dow Chemical.  No PCDD's were found in the fish food, a duplicate Day 28
sample from  Station 1,  and at Station B (Grand  River).  These data and those from  the
large  volume  sampling  study demonstrate  that  Dow Chemical discharges 2,3,7,8-TCDD
and other dioxin isomers to the Tittabawassee River and  that  these  compounds can
concentrate in fish to levels in excess of the FDA guideline for  2,3,7,8-TCDD of 50 ppt.
    The  results  for  furans are similar in that relatively  little or no furans were found
except in the fish exposed to the Outfall 031 plume (see Figure 10). The  levels of  furans
found were about an order of magnitude higher than the levels of dioxins.  It is noteworthy
that the caged fish in this study  were not exposed to bottom sediments at any station.
Thus,  the fish were not  able to  feed from the bottom as do certain species of native fish.
This should be considered when comparing these  data to data obtained from  native fish
which may be exposed to dioxins, furans, and other compounds in bottom sediments.
    Figures 11 and 12 present PCDDs and PCDFs for native fish obtained from the Grand
River at Jones Road and Francis Road by the MDNR. These data show 2,3,7,8-TCDD was
found in the Jones Road fish at a concentration of 20 ppt and one pentachloro isomer was
found at a concentration of 25 ppt.   PCDDs  were  not found in  the  fish sample from
Francis  Road.  2,3,7,8-TCDF was found at 40 ppt in the  Jones Road fish.  In all, seven
tetrachloro dibenzo furan isomers were found at a total  concentration of 230 ppt; four
pentachloro isomers  at 140 ppt;  and,  two hexachloro isomers at 30 ppt.   For the fish
obtained at Francis Road, one tetrachloro isomer other than 2,3,7,8-TCDF was found at a
concentration of 20 ppt.

    2.  Base Neutral Compounds
    Figure 13 summarizes the results for base neutral compounds. These data show that
fish  exposed  to  Outfall 031  readily  accumulated several  base neutral  compounds,
principally  chlorinated   benzenes  (dichioro, trichloro  and  hexachloro).   Aside  from
contamination by phthaiate compounds and naphthalene and phenanthrene, the control fish
did not contain  the  same  base  neutral  compounds as  found  in the fish  exposed  to
Outfall 031.  1,2,^—Trichlorobenzene was found in fish  from Station 1  upstream of Dow
Chemical at a level 15 to 20 times lower than found in fish exposed to Outfall 031.  The
downstream Tittabawassee River fish showed  lower levels of most  of  the chlorinated
                                        35

-------
benzene  compounds  accumulated in fish  exposed to the plume from Outfall 031.  The
Day 28 fish and duplicate Day 28 fish from the Grand River showed highly variable levels
of naphthalene. Chlorinated benzenes were not found in the Grand River fish.

    3.   Acid Compounds
    The  control fish showed no accumulation of acid compounds  (Figure 14).  However,
phenol was detected but not confirmed in  fish exposed  at Station A - Sanford Dam and
Station 1 - Poseyville Road.  2,4,6-Trichiorophenol and pentachlorophenol were found  in
caged  fish exposed  at Poseyville  Road  for  28 days  at levels  of  160  and  630 ppb,
respectively. These results may be due to the influence of the Pine River which empties
into the Tittabawassee River via the Chippewa River upstream of Poseyville Road.  The
Pine River is known to have contaminated sediments and receives industrial discharges.
Pentachlorophenol was  found  in fish  exposed  to the Outfall 031 plume  at levels up  to
1300 ppb.  Phenolic compounds were not found  in  fish exposed at  Stations 4 and  5,
downstream from Dow Chemical.

    >i.   Pesticides, PCBs
    The  data summarized  in  Figure 15 illustrate  that the greatest  number  and highest
levels of pesticides were found in the fish exposed to the plume of Outfall 031.  The total
weight of  accumulated pesticides  generally  increased  with time  of exposure.   It  is
important to note that -some of the  pesticides  were detected but not  confirmed on a
second GC/ECD column (see Appendix D).   While all of the compounds may not have been
confirmed, most probably due to the complex sample matrix of the Outfall 031 discharge,
the data clearly show the discharge  from  the outfall results  in bioaccumulation of more
compounds at higher levels than do  background  river stations.  Some of the pesticides
were also detected but  not confirmed at the background stations.  Confirmation consists
of analyzing the sample on  a second instrument column to positively verify the compound
identification.  For purposes of the  summary  report, the results presented  in  Figure  15
should be viewed accordingly.
    The  control  fish contained Aldrin;  DDD;  DDE; Dieldrin; Endosulfan I; Endosulfan
sulfate;  and  Heptachlor at  values  ranging from 5  to  34 ppb.   DDD, Dieldrin,  and
Endosuifan I values were confirmed.  Fish exposed at Station A - Sanford Dam contained
most of the same compounds at similar levels and also a -BHC at  about  6 ppb.  a -BHC,
DDD, DDE, and Dieldrin were confirmed at this site. Slightly higher levels of most of the
                                        36

-------
same compounds were detected in fish from Station 1 - Poseyville Road in addition to a -
BHC (5  to  15 ppb),  Endosuifanll  (21 ppb), and PC3-1248 (46 ppb).   a-BHC,  ODD,  DDE,
and Endosulfan I were confirmed at Stations 1 and 2. Tne influence of the Pine River may
account for the higher levels and additional compounds.  The data obtained  at Station 2
(downstream of the Dow Dam but upstream of Outfall 031) show similar levels of most of
the same compounds found at Station 1 in addition to Endrin aldehyde and Heptachlor.
    The fish exposed to Outfall 031 contained unconfirmed levels of Aldrin  in excess of
200 ppb; a-BHC in excess of  200 ppb; 6 -BHC  in excess of 20 ppb; Y-BHC at 16 ppb;
Endosulfan sulfate in excess of 200 ppb;  and Endrin at 63 ppb.  Confirmed levels  of ODD
(as high as  42 ppb);  DDE (as high as 65 ppb); DDT (as high as  37 ppb); Dieldrin (as high as
12 ppb); Endrin aldehyde (as high as 26 ppb); and, Heptachlor epoxide (as high as 46 ppb)
were also found in  fish exposed to the plume of Outfall 031.  Data obtained  from fish
exposed at Stations 4  and 5 show lower levels of pesticide accumulation than did  the fish
exposed in the plume of Outfall 031.  Aidrin, ODD, Dieldrin, and Heptachlor epoxide were
confirmed in fish from Station 4,  while a-BHC, ODD, DDE, Dieldrin, Heptachlor epoxide,
and Heptachlor were confirmed at Station 5. PCBs were not detected in any of  the caged
fish held in the Tittabawassee River.
    The caged fish at  Station B (Grand River at  Jones Road) contained confirmed levels
of  a-BHC, Y-BHC,  and ODD at  less  than  20 ppb,  and unconfirmed  levels of  DDE,
Endosulfan I, Endrin aldehyde,  Endosulfan sulfate, and Endosuifan II at less than 23 ppb.
The Grand River native  fish contained much higher confirmed levels of pesticides than the
caged fish from the Tittabawassee and Grand Rivers, particularly ODD (18-300 ppb); DDE
(37-330  ppb); and DDT (48-230 ppb).  The native Grand River  fish also contained PCBs at
confirmed levels ranging from 160 to 1020 ppb (PCB-1254) and 160-1360 ppb (PCB-1260).

    5.   Other Extractable Compounds
    The fish samples  from the bioaccumulation study were also analyzed for extractable
organic  compounds  not  included in  the toxic (priority) pollutant list.  These compounds
were  determined by the analyst  by selecting the best fit from  a computerized library
search program to the mass spectra obtained for each sample. The quantitation of  these
compounds  was  not accomplished  using a  pure standard of each  compound, but was
calculated  against  the   response of  an  internal  standard.   Thus, the  concentrations
presented are considered estimates.  Many of  these compounds were  found  at levels
significantly higher than those noted above. The data are also presented in Appendix E.

Methodology and Quality Control

 Large Volume Sampling Study

-------
I.  DIOXIN METHODOLOGY - WATEPx

    The objective of this study was to analyze selected polychlorinated
dibenzofurans (PCDF) and polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDD) in
water.  The detection limits specified for these compounds were parts-
per-quadrillion (1 part in lO1-3 or ppq).  Specific compounds which
were selected for identification included:  2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzofuran
(2,3,7,8-TCDF), 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (2,3,7,8-TCDD), and
all tetra through octa chloro furan and dioxin isoraers.  High resolution
gas chromatography/high resolution mass spectrometry (HRGC/HRrlS) was used
to identify and quantify these materials at the indicated trace level.
The exact masses used for each isomer class and the expected isotope
ratio used in part for identifying individual compounds, as well as
limits of detection for the water are presented in Table 1.  2,3,7,8-
tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin-l3Ci2 was used as an internal standard for
quantification and recovery determinations.  These recovery determinations
are found in Table 2 and were used to estimate the influence of the
matrices on the analytical measurements.

    Preparation of Water Samples

    The water samples were extracted and cleaned-up using the following
procedure.  A ten liter aliquot of water was transferred from the
original sample bottle to a 19 liter glass bottle, and spiked with
2 ng of 2,3,7)8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin-13C12 (2,3,7,8-TCDD-13C12).
The water aliquot and internal standard were mixed for 30 minutes
using a magnetic stirring bar.  After the initial mixing, the stirring
was discontinued and one liter of hexane was added to the aliquot for
extraction of organics.  The stirring was resumed and the aliquot
extracted for 16 hours.  After the extraction process, the aliquot
and hexane were allowed to equilibrate for two hours.  The hexane was
transferred to a 1000 ml Kuderna-Danish (K-D) flask using a 100 ml •
volumetric pipet.  Distilled water was added to the bottle to force
the last 100 nil or less of hexane into the neck of the bottle which
facilitated its transfer.  The K-D flasks were placed in a hot water
bath and the extracts were concentrated to a volume of 20 ml.  The
extracts were transferred to 250 ml separatory funnels, using three
5 ml hexane rinses of the K-D flask.  The hexane extracts were washed
three .times each in t.he following sequence:  50 ml of J.M NaOH, 50 ml
of distilled water, 50 ml of concentrated I^SO^, and finally 50 ml
of distilled water.  All base, acid and water washes were collected,
neutralized and discarded.  The hexane extracts were transferred to
125 ml K-D flasks, using three 5 ml hexane rinses of 250 separatory
funnels, and concentrated to a volume of 5 ml.  The extracts were
introduced onto alumina columns to isolate the furan and dioxin
compound classes.  The columns were eluted sequentially with 25 ml
of hexane, 25 ml of 1:1 (V:V) hexane:carbon tetrachloride, and 20 ml
of 1:1 (V:V) hexane:methylene chloride.  Decane (20 ul) was added to
the hexane:methylene chloride fraction containing the furans and
dioxins, and the fraction concentrated to  20 ul prior to analyses.

-------
    The extracts were analyzed by high resolution gas chromatography/
high resolution mass spectrometry (HRGC/HRMS) at a mass resolution
of 8000-12000 (M&M, 10 percent valley).  A VG llodel 7070H mass
spectrometer interfaced to a Carlo Erba Model 4160 gas chromatograph
was used.  The chromatographic column was a 3011 D3-5 fused silica
column with helium carrier gas.  All HRGC/HRMS data were acquired
in the multiple ion detection mode using a VG Model 2035 Data System
and will be archived on magnetic tape for a period of five years.

II. QUALITY CONTROL

    A.  Internal Audits

        The following quality assurance procedures were employed.
Perfluorokerosene was introduced through a. heated inlet for tuning,
mass calibration and establishing mass resolution.  A 2 ul injection
of a test mixture containing 20 pg/ul of 2,3,7,8-TCDD and 95 pg/ul of
2,3,7,8-TCDD-  C12 was analyzed.  The analysis of this test mixture
provided the following information:
             :6rmation concerning sensitivity (absolute response
             2,3,7,8-TCDD-13C19)
        0 Information
          of 2,
        0 Accuracy of quantification (native response as compared
          to that of its C-13 analogue)
        0 Elution within a specific retention time window
        0 Chroma tographic peak shape symmetry.

        Decane was analyzed to check for dioxin carry over.   This
information is used to access performance of the instrument  before
the measurement of PCDF and PCDD at trace levels is conducted in
actual samples.

        The actual sample analyses were by the following procedure:
four to six samples, a duplicate or spike, an extraction blank, a
test mixture, a decane blank, then the cycle was repeated.

    B.  External Audits
                                                          »
      •  !•  On-site Visit
            During September 20-21, 1982, Marcia A. Kuehl , QC Coordinator
for the Central Regional Laboratory, touted the Battelle Columbus dioxin
facilities and audited the chain-of-custody documentation.  She spent
a large portion of the time observing the acquisition and reduction of
the dixoin/furan data by HRGC/HRMS.

-------
            The objective of this audit was to  inspect whether  the
analysis of Dow Study samples was conducted according to Contract #68-01-6421,
(Amendment to Work Assignment Specifications #003) and to  present and  resolve
any anomalous results reported by Battelle for  the blind QC samples  that
CRL submitted along with the actual samples.

            Document Control Study

            When the Dow samples arrived at Battelle, the  secured shipping
and receiving area contacted the team responsible for the  project.   An
authorized person signed for the samples and transported them to the
Dioxin Extraction Laboratory.  There the samples were unpacked  and checked
against the packing list.  They were then recorded in the  GCA Project  File
logbook along with a Battelle number.  All logbook entries were of the
form XXYYZZ where XX indicates the logbook number, YY the  page  of entry
and ZZ the line number of the page.

            Only three people had keys to the Dioxin Extraction Laboratory
and sample storage area.  As the extraction of  the samples proceeded,  all
extraction notes were entered in the GCA Project File logbook according
to the format above.  When the extracts were ready for HRGC/HRMS, they
were picked up by Dan Aichele, and all HRGC/HRMS work pertaining to  the
samples was entered in the HRGC/HRMS logbook, with cross-references
to the extract numbers obtained from the GCA Project File  logbook kept
in the locked Dioxin Extraction Laboratory.  All computer  outputs and
raw HRGC/HRMS data was filed by CRL sample number designation in a
file box kept in the HRGC/HRMS laboratory.  The discs containing Dow
sample HRGC/HRMS data were also stored there.

            The entire Battelle facility is a security area.  In order
for visitors to gain entry, they must fill out  a visitors  card  indicating
their affiliation and Battelle employee to be contacted.   A visitor's
badge is typed which indicates that a Battelle  escort is required at
all times.  Employees wear identification badges and can only gain
entry by a coded keycard or by showing their ID card to a  receptionist.
Battelle personnel were careful to not divulge  the exact nature of
the analytical work being done on other projects, nor to name any
other clients.

            All of the GCA Project File logbook information, relating
HRGC/HRMS logbook information, and raw computer printouts  was photocopied
and submitted with the final draft of the report on 12/30/82.   The final
report was peer reviewed at Battelle and was sent to GCA (prime Contractor)
as required by  the contract.  The photocopied logbook and  raw data was
sent directly to the CRL on 12/30/82 along with a copy of  the final  report.

-------
    Rattelle QA/QC Protocols

    A decane solvent blank and 2,3,7,8-TCDD- 3C^2 standard was run at
least once a day.  The area response of the 2,3,7,8-TCDD-  CT? standard
must be approximately 4000 and no less than 2000.  The ion peak ratio
at m/z of 320 to 322 and 332 to 334 must be 0.77 + 10%.  This ion peak
ratio for the native 2,3,7,8-TCDD to 2,3,7,8-TCDD-1 C12 must be within
10% of the expected ratio for the analysis to be acceptable.

    A seven-point calibration curve of 2,3,7,8-TCDD is run every 6 months.
Each day, the samples are injected to insure that they are within the
linear range before actual data reduction/quantitation is done.  Two
injections of each extract were made to monitor precision of the
2,3,7,8-TCDD-C13 recovery.  For all of the Dow Samples, 2,3,7,8-TCDD-C13
was used as the internal standard.  No historically based control limits
for 2,3,7,8-TCDD-  C12 "recovery from water and fish have been set by
Battelle.  Recovery information is found in Table 2.

    No splitting of Dow Samples into lab-prepared duplicates was done.
No lab spiking of actual Dow Samples to serve as a matrix spike was
done either.  The blind QC samples submitted by CRL served in these
functions.

    Quantification Procedure

    Before any samples, standards or blanks are injected into the
Carlo Erba HRGC and VG 7070H HRMS system, the instrument is tuned by
the perfluorokerosene lock mass of 319.  The response of the MS to this
compound must meet the mass criteria specified before samples are injected.
The VG 7070H electronics were modified by Battelle personnel to allow
more rapid scans over the acquisition time, and thus give greater resolution
and lower detection levels.

    All quantitation is done on the basis of a one-point calibration
standard of 2,3,7,8-TCDD-C13.  Qualitative identification is done on
the basis of retention time.  The correct mass ratio (+ 10%) of the
isomer|s two largest peaks is also used for verification of.identity.

    The simplified formulas used are given below:

    CONG pg/g = 2000 pg 2,3,7,8-TCDD-C13 x area of analyte in sample
                                           area of 2,3,7,8-^00-^ in sample

        2.  Blind QC Water Sample Results

            QC samples were prepared and originally analyzed by
Dr. Robert Harless, EPA-RTP.  They were sent to Curtis Ross, Director CRL,
EPA Region V to use as part of the Quality Assurance program audit of
Battelle Columbus Laboratories for this study.  The water QC samples
were received in sealed ampules with benzene as the solvent.  These
ampules were opened by CRL personnel at Argonne National Laboratory and
mixed with approximately 25 liters of organic free water to form the blind
QC samples.  CRL sample numbers were assigned to the blind QC samples to
further aid in disguising them.

            Before any analytical data was generated, a comparison of
EPA 2,3,7,8-TCDD standard (82LS10R05) x*as made with the Battelle prepared
quantitation standard.  The EPA standard was previously round robin-tested
and found to contain 10 pg/ul (600 pg in the 60 ul ampule).  A variation
of only 4- 10% was allowed between Battelle and this EPA standard.  Four
additional standards in benzene were then analyzed for 2,3,7,8-TCDD;
1,3,6,8-TCDD; 1,3,7,9-TCDD; 2,3,7,8-TCDF; OCDD and OCDF.

            After these standards were judged acceptable by Dr. Harless,
a blind QC spike (81EH07S09) was analyzed and reported next.  After
acceptance of this data, actual sample and other blind analysis began.
Results of all blind standards and samples are given in Table 3.

        Recovery Comments

        1) 81EH07S23(Spike_QC) -  OCDF was reported at a much higher level  .
than the spikel  the data was re-reduced and the result of 230 ppt was
verified.  The problems in OCDD and OCDF recoveries appear to stem from
the lack of a OCDD-C-" standard to check the actual response against
the internal standard.

        2) 81EH07S24(Blank QC) - OCDF at a level of 180 ppq was reported.
No OCDF was*present"in"the'QCTampule used to mix this sample.  The data
was recalled from disc and the result reverified at 230 ppq.  If this
QC sample was mixed after the 81EH07S23 and/or 81EH07S25 QC Samples,
carryover .may have occurred .to account for- this value.

        3) 81EH07S25(Spike QC) - Recovery of OCDF was high (750 ppq recovered
vs 160 ppq spiked J"~ Due" to~tfie lack of a C^3 labelled OCDD standard to
judge the relative response against 2,3,7,8-TCDD-C^ quantitation was,
at. best, an estimate.  The data was recalled from disc and reverified
at 430 ppq using peak height rather than area.

    CONCLUSION:

    Due to the imprecise and inaccurate OCDF results discovered by the
three blind audits, any positive OCDF data for water samples should not
be considered usable.  All other dioxin/furan sample data should be
considered of an acceptable level of quality.

III.  DIOXIN METHODOLOGY AND QUALITY CONTROL

      A.  Method for Fish Analyses

          Battelle Columbus Laboratories, under subcontract 1-453-003-222-01
to GCA; performed the dioxin analyses.  The objective of this study was to
analyze selected polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDF) and polychlorinated
dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDD) in fish.  The detection limits specified for
these compounds were parts-per-trillion (1 part in 10-^, or ppt) in fish.
Specific compounds which were selected for identification included:
2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzofuran (2,3,7,8-TCDF); 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-
p-dioxin (2,3,7,8-TCDD), and all tetra through octa chloro furan and dioxin
isomer classes.  High resolution gas chromatography/high resolution mass
spectrometry (HRGC/HRMS) was used to identify and quantify these materials
at the indicated trace level.  The exact masses used for each isomer class
and the expected isotope ratio used in part for identifying individual
compounds, as well as limits of detection for the fish are presented
in Table 1.  2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin-  Cio was used as an
internal standard for quantification and recovery determinations.
These recovery determinations are found in Table 2 and were used to
estimate the influence of the matrices on the analytical measurements.

          Preparation of Fish Samples

          The fish samples were extracted and cleaned up using the
following procedure.  Approximately 5 g portions of fish were placed
in 125 ml round bottom flasks.  The fish samples were spiked with 2 ng
of 2,3,7,8-TCDD--L3C12 internal standard followed by the addition of
20 ml of ethanol and 20 ml of 40 percent KOH.  The samples were digested
for one hour at 80°C.  After cooling, they were extracted three times
each with 10 ml volumes of hexane.  The combined hexane extracts weree
transferred to 125 ml separatory funnels and washed three times each
with 10 ml of distilled water.  The hexane extracts were concentrated
to 5 ml using K-D apparatus.  Each concentrate was transferred to a
multilayered silica column containing the following materials oriented
top to bottom:

          0 Activated silica
          0 Silica containing 44 percent concentrated sulfuric acid
          0 Activated silica
          0 Silica containing 33 percent 1M sodium hydroxide
          0 Activated silica

          These columns were eluted with 30 ml of 1:1 (V:V) benzene:hexane.
The benzene:hexane fraction was exchanged into 5 ml of hexane and transferred
to alumina columns.  The alumina column was eluted sequentially with 25 ml
of hexane, 25 ml of 1:1 (V:V) hexane:carbon tetrachloride, and 20 ml of
1:1 (V:V) hexane:me thylene chloride.  Decane (20 ul) was added to the
hexane:methylene chloride fraction, and these mixtures were concentrated
to  20 ul prior to their analyses.

-------
        The extracts were analyzed by high resolution gas chromatography/
high resolution mass spectrometry (HRGC/HRMS) at a mass resolution of
8000-12000 (M/ M, 10 percent valley).  A VG Model 7070H mass spectrometer
interfaced to a Carlo Erba Model 4160 gas chromatograph was used.  The
chromatographic column was a 30M DB-5 fused silica column with helium
carrier gas.  All HRGC/HRMS data were acquired in the multiple ion
detection mode using a VG Model 2035 Data System and will be archived
on magnetic tape for a period of five years.

    B.  Quality Control

        1.  Internal Audits

            The following quality assurance procedures were employed.
Perfluorokerosene was introduced through a heated inlet for tuning,
mass calibration and establishing mass resolution.  A 2 ul injection
of a test mixture containing 20 pg/ul of 2,3,7,8-TCDD and 95 pg/ul
of 2,3,7,8-TCDD-13Cl2 was analyzed.  The analysis of this test
mixture provided the following information:

            0 Information concerning sensitivity (absolute response
              of 2,3,7,8-TCDD-13C,2)
            0 Accuracy of quantification (native response as compared
              to that of its C-13 analogue)
            0 Elution within a specific retention time window
            0 Chromatographic peak shape symmetry.

            Decane was analyzed to check for dioxin carry over.  This
information is used to access performance of the instrument before the
measurement of PCDF and PCDD at trace levels is conducted in actual samples.

            The actual sample analyses were by the following procedure:
four to six samples, a duplicate or spike, an extraction blank, a test
mixture, a decane blank, then the cycle was repeated.

        2.  External Audits

            A.  On-site Visit

                See Part 2, B.I.

            B.  Blind QC Fish Sample Results

-------
            Blanks

            Along with the actual fish samples two grinding blanks and two
dioxin-free fish filet samples were analyzed.  Battelle also extracted and
analyzed a solvent blank.  The only reported levels of furans in any blank
were 10 pg in the grinding blank (dry ice) prepared before fish sample
grinding and 95 ppt in the blank perch filet EPA-V-17.  The source of
the 10 pg tetrachlorinated dibenzofuran in the grinding blank is not known.
The concentration of 10 pg per sample jar rinse cannot be converted to
ppt, so data is uncorrected.

            1) 82LS1QR02

               Originally, only five grams of the filet was taken for analysis.
95 ppt 2,3,7,8-TCDF was reported for this first run.  A suppression at the
prefluorokerosene lock mass appeared, creating an artifically low
2,3,7,8-TCDD-cl3 signal.  This suppression caused all quantitation to be
biased high.  The remaining 5 grams of filet were extracted and put through
an additional florisil clean-up and the suppression disappeared.
No 2,3,7,8-TCDF was reported for this aliquot.
            Four spiked fish filets were obtained from Dr. Harless at RTF
and sent as "blinds" to Battelle for analysis.  However, since the appearance
of the samples EPA-V-21-2, EPA-V-20, EPA-V-21, and EPA-V-22 differed from
the actual sample catfish pastes, they were not actually "blinds".
Battelle, however, did not know which filets, if any, were blanks and
they did not know the isomers or levels used in spiking.

            A nearly consistent lack of recovery of OCDF and OCDD at
levels of 100-200 ppt occurred.  This may be due to the fact that the
spike levels used were near or at the detection limit.  In conversations
with Battelle, it was discovered that OCDD and OCDF have varying response
factors relative to C^-TCDD.  These results are therefore estimated
against 2,3,7,8-TCDD-C-^ as no pure certified OCDD and OCDF standards
were available.  Such quantitation may be biased low for the sample
results.  No OCDD or OCDF was reported above the contract detection
limit of 90 ppt in any of the samples.

               820IS22 (EPA-V-22)

               This spiked filet QC sample yielded high (277%) recovery of
2,3,7,8-TCDF and low 2,3,7,8-TCDD recovery (54%).  The spectral data
was recalled off of the disc and the results recalculated.  A suppression
of the 2,3,7,8-Cl3 signal occurred.  The usual Battelle procedure is
to go back and rerun the extract through an additional florisil column.
This was.done and the unsuppressed signals yielded 168% recovery for
2,3,7,8-TCDF and 92% recovery 2,3,7,8-TCDD.  The recovery for
2,3,7,8-TCDF was still high due to reappearing mass interference at
mass 304 of TCDF.

-------
CONCLUSION

Due to the imprecise and low biased OCDD and OCDF recovery discovered in
blind spike audits, any positive OCDD and OCDF data for fish samples should
not be considered valid.  All other dioxin/furan sample data should be
considered of an acceptable level of quality.
