   16. Abstract (Limit: 200 words)
      The Odessa  Chromium I  site consists  of a series  of chromium-contaminated  wells within
   300  acres of residential,  commercial, and industrial  properties  and facilities
   immediately west of West  County Road, just outside  the northwestern city  limits of
   Odessa, Ector  County, Texas.•  Nearly  every residence  or commercial facility  is served  by
   one  or more water wells completed in  the underlying Trinity Aquifer, which offers the
    nly source of potable ground water.  Two potential sources of ground water
      tamination  at the site have been identified:   4318 Brazos  property, and 2104 West
      3 Street.   In December  1979, the Texas Department  of Water Resources identified the
   4318 Brazos property as a potential source of chromium contamination.  Several chrome
   plating operations functioned at this property between 1972 and  1977.  The site at
   2104 West 42nd Street is  presently operating as a metal plating  facility.  This property
   was  first identified as a  possible source of ground water contamination in 1978.  The
   first operable unit ROD,  signed in September 1986,  provided for  the extension of the
   city's water supply until  final ground  water remediation is complete.  Although chromium
   is  the primary contaminant of concern affecting the ground water,  other inorganics have
   been found in  the soil.  •

I.   SITE LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION

    The Odessa Chromium I Superfund site consists of a series of chromium
    contaminated wells within 300 acres of residential, commercial, and
    industrial properties and facilities immediately west of West County
    Road just outside the northwestern city limits of Odessa, Ector County,
    Texas (Figure 1).  Based on the boundaries of the known chromium
    groundwater contamination in the Trinity Aquifer, the impacted area is
    bounded by 48th Street to the north, West County Road to the east,  43rd
    Street to the south, and one-half block west of Brazos to the west.
    Nearly every residence or commercial facility is served by one or
    more water wells completed in the Trinity Aquifer, which offers the only
    source of potable groundwater. - Approximately 30 people within the  study
    area are served by wells contaminated with chromium above the current
    drinking water standard of 0.05 mg/1.

    Site History

    Two potential  sources of groundwater contamination at the site have
    been identified.  They are the past operations at the 4318 Brazos
    property and current operations at 2104 West 42nd Street,  the 4318 Brazos
    property was first developed between 1954 and 1961.  Several chrome plating
    operations have functioned at the property between 1972 and 1977.  Prior
    to  1979 a water well at 4313 West County Road became contaminated by
    chromium and was abandoned.  In December 1979, the Texas Department
    of  Water Resources, the predecessor agency to the Texas Water Commission
    (TWC), identified 4318 Brazos as a potential source of chromium contami-
    nation.  A water well at the property was contaminated with 190.0 mg/1
    chromium.  Although chromium is the contaminant of greatest concern at
    the Odessa Chromium I site, other inorganics have been found in soils at
    4318-Brazos and 2104 West 42nd Street.

    The site at 2104 West 42nd Street was first developed in 1954.  A metal
    plating facility, is presently operating from the site.  The property was
    first identified as being a possible source of chromium contamination in
    groundwater in 1978 when TWC investigated a complaint of chromium in a
    well at 38th Street and Rasco.  Prior to 1979, surface spills and discharge
    of  waste into a septic tank had been occurring.  In 1979 the company
    modified its wastewater facilities in an attempt to alleviate
    the problem.

    In  September 1984, the Odessa Chromium I site was added to the National
    Priorities List (sites which appear to present a significant risk to
    public health or the environment).  The State of Texas entered into a

Cooperative Agreement with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on
September 26, 1984, to perform a Remedial Investigation (RI), Focused
Feasibility Study (FFS) for Operable Unit I and a Feasibility Study (FS)
for Operable Unit II.  The total funds awarded to the State for these
studies was $791,030.  The RI fieldwork (soil, groundwater, sediment and
air sampling) began in August 1985 and a draft report was submitted April
1986.

In January 1986, the EPA and the TWC initiated the FFS for Odessa I.
The single purpose of the FFS was to examine possible alternative water
supplies which could provide potable water to the area(s) within the
greater Odessa I site where groundwater is contaminated or could reasonably
be expected to become contaminated by chromium within 24 months.  The
extension of the Odessa City water system was the remedy selected on
September 8, 1986.  The design of this system was completed during December
1987.  The construction phase of the water supply project is scheduled
for completion by December 1988.  The extension of the city's water supply
is intended to provide potable water until "the-ffnaT remediation of the
contaminated groundwater is complete.    _,

Further fieldwork (soil samp-ling) was conducted in November 1986, and a
final RI report was accepted by TWC and EPA on May 1, 1987.  A final
draft FS report was submitted in December 1987.  This FS report provides a
comparison of the potential remedial alternatives for the groundwater.

Geology

The Odessa Chromium I site is located on the southern edge of the Texas
High Plains region.  The surficial soil in the site area is principally
Amarillo loam.  Generally, it is fine sandy loam which ranges in depth
from 8 to 10 inches.  Below that, to depths from 18 to 24 inches, the
subsoil is fine sandy loam to sandy clay.  Pleistocene windblown sand,
clay deposits and alluvium deposits underlie the soil section.  Beneath
the Pleistocene are 25 to 35 feet of caliche deposits which can be-
relatively impermeable in local areas*  "      '  "

Underlying the caliche are scattered erosional remnants of the Ogallala
formation composed of gravels,  sands, silts and clays.  This formation
does not generally extend to depths below 75 feet In the area.

The Trinity formation, the main fresh water producing aquifer in the
area, underlies the Ogallala interval.  The thickness of this formation
ranges from 55 to 70 feet.   It  is composed  of sands and sandstones with
minor amounts of siltstone,  clay and gravel.  Beneath the Trinity  formation
is the Dockum Group of Triassic age which serves  as an effective aquiclude.
The upper unit of the Dockum Group, the Chinle Formation, consists  of up
to 600 feet of clays and shales which prevents downward migration  of
contaminants.

-------
The hydrologic units containing potable water in the site area are the
Ogallala formation at approximately 70 feet below the area and the Trinity
sand at approximately 90 feet below the site (Figure 2).  In general, the
Ogallala is hydrologically connected with the underlying Trinity and has
little or no saturated thickness.  A few miles to the southwest the Ogallala
has been totally eroded and within the site area is only a thin remnant
containing little water.  Groundwater occurs beneath the site mainly in the
Trinity Sand.  Groundwater within this unit moves in a generally northern
direction at 50-100 feet per year.

Remedial Investigation Results

During the RI for the Odessa Chromium I site, samples were collected from
soil, groundwater, and air to determine the nature and extent of contamination,
The primary emphasis for analytical testing was placed on determining the
presence of chromium.  Chromium testing was conducted for the shallow and
deep soil borings and from water samples collected during an inventory of
existing wells and from monitor wells completed during the investigation.
Additional  chemical testing for zinc, copper, nickel and lead was performed
for selected samples.  Table 1 shows the maximum level detected for each of
these contaminants for each media sampled during the RI.

Analytical  results of the soil samples collected from the site indicate
that elevated levels of chromium are present at 4318 Brazos Street.  The
contamination is generally limited to the upper 6 feet of soil with levels
up to 4,997 ppm total chromium.  The estimated volume of chromium contaminated
soil exceeding near background conditions (50 ppm total chromium) is 1,200
yd3.  The chromium present in the soil is predominately (95-99%) in the
trivalent state.  Trivalent chromium adsorbs well to soil and therefore
does not leach out.  This is confirmed by the EP Toxicity results (Table
2).  EP Toxicity levels less than 5 mg/1 for total chromium are considered
acceptable by EPA.

Over 200 wells were.identified within a one-half mile radius of the site,
of which more than 150 were sampled and analyzed for total'and hexavalent
chromium.  Of the wells sampled, 12 were found to exceed the Federally
regulated drinking water standard for chromium of 0.05 mg/1.  In addition,
14 wells were installed within the Trinity aquifer during the remedial
investigation.  Of the monitoring wells, 4 contained chromium levels which
significantly exceeded the drinking water standard.  Figure 3 depicts the
estimated extent of chromium contamination in the Trinity aquifer which
exceeds the current chromium Drinking Water Standard of 0.05 mg/1.
Contamination levels are highest in the upper part of the Trinity aquifer
(72 mg/1) and are very low in the lower portion of the aquifer (0.01 mg/1)
in the vicinity of 4318 Brazos.   A siltstone layer divides the Trinity
at this location; however, this dividing layer is discontinuous to the

north where contamination  water is found throughout the entire Trinity
section.  The plume of chromium contamination has migrated approximately
1300 feet down gradient of the 4318 Brazos property.  An estimated 15,000,000
gallons exceed the current chromium standard.

Two smaller plumes have been discovered at 38th and 39th Streets just
west of West County Road and at West 42nd Street near Loop 338.  Neither
plume was included in this study; however, the Agency will review the
information collected at these locations to determine if further
investigations are warranted.

Surface sediment samples were collected at three locations at the 4318
Brazos property.  The samples contained up to 1440 ppm chromium.  The
detection of chromium in the sediment indicates surface runoff may have
resulted in transporting contamination off-site by solution or particulate
matter.

Air monitoring was conducted during drilling activities at the site.
The difference between the upwind and downwind samples were 0.08 mg/m .
Based on the sample results, air quality at the site has not been
significantly degraded as a result of the surface contamination present
at the site.  However, any future excavation of contaminated soil,
especially during windy conditions, might pose a health risk to worker or
nearby residents.

Samples were scrapped from the exterior of the northern surface of the
building at 4318 Brazos.  This building was visably contaminated.
Chromium levels present in the cinderblocks are as high as 46,532 ppm.
Leaching of chromium from the building was detected at 535 mg/1.  This
exceeds the EP Toxicity limit by a factor of 100.

Potential Impact of Site on Human Health and the Environment

The contaminant of greatest concern at the site (chromium) was  chosen
from the compounds detected based on its widespread distribution through-
out the contaminated groundwater plume as well as its relative  toxicity
and concentration.  A risk assessment was conducted based on the chromium
concentration found at the site, assuming no remedial action would be
conducted.  The first step in the risk assessment required the  identifi-
cation of potential receptors.  Target receptors identified  in  the
assessment include:

     •  Residents in trailers and homes utilizing contaminated
        groundwater,

     •  Employees of businesses utilizing contaminated  groundwater,  and

     •  Workers or trespassers at the 4318 Brazos property.

-------
     In order to evaluate what endangerment, if any, is currently created by
     the site, contaminant levels present were compared with existing standards
     or risk estimates were developed for potential exposure scenarios which
     have no existing health-based standards.  If a standard exists, the chromium
     level was compared with the standard in order to determine whether a remedial
     response action is necessary to protect human health and the environment.
     If no applicable or relevant and appropriate standard exists, a target
     concentration or cleanup level was developed which would attain a 10
     (one in one million) to 10~b (ten in one million) lifetime cancer risk
     level.

     The majority of the contamination in the groundwater beneath 4318 Brazos
     is confined to the Upper Trinity; however, the confining layer is not
     continuous throughout the entire study area.  Since chromium has an appli-
     cable or relevant and appropriate requirement for groundwater, the EPA
     Primary Drinking Water Standard, that requirement was used as the basis for
     the target concentration.  Wells with values above drinking water standards
     are not suitable for use as a lifetime drinking water supply.  The drinking
     water standard of 0.05 mg/1 chromium is exceeded by numer'ous well.s throughout
     the site.  This standard is currently under review by EPA.  Should the
     standard be revised prior to implementing the design phase of the project,
     the revised standard will become the target concentration.  Otherwise, the
     current standard will continue to be considered the appropriate level of
     remediation.

     Based on the risk assessment conducted during the Feasibility Study, neither
     ingestion of contaminated soils nor inhalation of contaminated dust particles
     pose a significant threat to human health.  Ingestion of the chromium present
     in the soil is 5.28% of the oral chronic acceptability daily intake for
     chromium.  The risk associated by the inhalation of dust particles from the
     site approaches a 10   (one in one million) risk level (corresponds to a
     0.75x10   ug/nr concentration); therefore, soil remediation is not considered
     necessary.

     Results of the risk assessment indicate that remedial action is required to
     reduce the potential for exposure through the consumption of contaminated
     groundwater only.  The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry
     (ATSDR) supports this interpretation of the risk assessment (Attachment B).

II.  ENFORCEMENT

     The goal of the EPA is to have those parties responsible for contamination
     of the site perform the cleanup.  The Agency has identified several
     potentially responsible parties at the Odessa Chromium I site.  These
     parties have been notified that they may undertake, or participate in, the
     chosen remedy.  If they decline involvement in the remedial action, EPA
     will  pursue appropriate enforcement action.

 IV.  ALTERNATIVES EVALUATION

      Evaluation Criteria
      Section 121 (a) through (f) of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization
      Act contains factors which EPA must consider in selecting a remedy for a
      Superfund site.  These factors, as well  as other criteria used during the
      evaluation of alternatives, are discussed below:

           1.  Consistency with Other Environmental Laws

               In determining appropriate remedial actions at Superfund sites,
               consideration must be given to the requirements of other Federal
               and State environmental laws.  Primary consideration is given to
               attaining applicable or relevant and appropriate Federal and State
               public health and environmental regulations and .standards.  Require
               ments under Federal or State laws that specifically address the
               circumstance at a Superfund site are considered applicable-Relevant
               and appropriate requirements, while not "applicable" to a Superfund
               site, address situations which are sufficiently similar to a site.
               The compliance of each remedial alternative with all applicable or
               relevant and appropriate environmental laws is shown in Table 3.

       -    2.  Reduction of Toxicity. Mobility or Volume

               The degree to which alternatives employ treatment which reduce
               toxicity, mobility, or volume must also be assessed.  Relevant
               factors are:

               o  The treatment processes the remedies employ and materials they
                  will treat;
                                                                               •
               o  The amount of hazardous materials tn-at'will be destroyed or
                  treated;

                  The degree of expected  reduction in toxicity, mobility, or
                  volume;

               o  The degree to which the treatment  is  irreversible;

               o  The residuals that  will remain  following treatment,  considering
                  the persistence, toxicity,  mobility,  and propensity  for bio-^
                  accumulation of  such  hazardous  substances  and  their  constitu-
                  ents.

    EPA is also directed by SARA to give preference to remedial actions
    that utilize treatment to remove contaminants from the environment.
    Off-site transport and disposal without treatment is the least
    preferred option where practicable treatment technologies
    are available.

3.  Short-term Effectiveness

    The short-term effectiveness of alternatives must be assessed;
    considering appropriate factors among the following:

    •  Magnitude of reduction of existing risks;

    •  Short term risks that might be posed to the community, workers,
       or the environment during implementation of an alternative
       including potential threats to human health and the environment
       associated with transportation, and redisposal or containment
       of treatment residuals.

    •  Time until full protection is achieved.

4.  Long-term Effectiveness and Permanence

    Alternatives are assessed for the long-term effectiveness and
    permanence they afford along with the degree of certainty that'
    the remedy will prove successful.  Factors considered are:

    •  Magnitude of residual risks in terms of amounts and concentrations
       of waste remaining following implementation of a remedial
       action, considering the persistence, toxicity, mobility, and
       propensity to bioaccumulate of such hazardous substances and
       their constituents;

    t  Type and degree of long-term management required, including
       monitoring and operation and maintenance;                     :

    o  Long-term reliability of the engineering and institutional
       controls, including uncertainties associated with land disposal
       of untreated wastes and residuals;

       •  Potential need for replacement of the remedy.

5.  Implement ability.

    The ease or difficulty of implementing the alternatives are
    assessed by considering the following types of factors:

-------
                                 3
    •  Degree of difficulty associated with constructing the technology;
    •  Expected operational reliability of the technologies;
    •  Need to coordinate with and obtain necessary approvals and
       permits from other offices and agencies;
    •  Availability of necessary equipment and specialists;
    •  Available capacity and location of needed treatment, storage,
       and disposal services.
6.  Cost
    The types of costs that should be assessed include the following:
    •  Capital cost;
    t  Operation and maintenance .(0&M) costs;
    •  Net present value of capital  and O&M costs;
    •  Potential future remedial action costs.
7 .  Community Acceptance                                 ,       - -
    This assessment should look at:                              "~~
    •  Components of the alternatives which the community supports;
    •  Features of the alternatives about which the community has
       reservations;
    •  Elements of the alternatives which the community strongly
       opposes.
                          •    •
8.  State Acceptance
    Evaluation factors include assessments of:
    t  Components of the alternatives which the State supports;
    •  Features of the alternatives about which_the State has reserv-
       at ions;
    0  Elements of the alternatives under consideration that the  ^
       State strongly opposes.                  nr_~~_ T    "."~r.r_I7_i

     9.  Overall Protection of Human Health and the Environment

         Following the analysis of the remedial options against individual
         evaluation criteria, the alternatives are assessed from the stand-
         point of whether they provide adequate protection of human health
         and the environment considering the multiple criteria.

Description of Alternatives

In conformance with the National Contingency Plan, initial remedial approaches
were screened to determine which might be appropriate for this site.  From
these possible remedies, six alternatives were chosen for more detailed
evaluation and comparison with the remedy selection criteria outlined above.
Each is summarized below:

     Alternative 1, No Action - This remedy involves primarily the plugging
     of several monitor wells used during the remedial investigation.  Nine
     existing wells and five new wells will be utilized for an annual
     monitoring program.  This alternative does not prevent future migration
     of chromium and does not clean up the existing contamination.  In order
     to prevent potential exposure through future consumption of contaminated
     groundwater the alternate water supply system would require continued
     extension as the plume migrates past the present site boundary.  The
     associated present worth cost ($158,000) of this alternative is for
     constructing new wells and an annual monitoring program.  .

All five of the remaining alternatives require the removal and off-site
disposal of a highly contaminated cinderblock building at 4318 Brazos
(Fig 4).  Removal of the building is necessary to provide adequate space
for potential utilization of the property during the remedial action as
well as to eliminate the future risk associated with the improper handling
and disposal of the chromium contaminated building materials.  The building
will be demolished in a manner which will minimize pulverization of the
bricks thereby reducing extensive generation of chrome laden dust and
disposed of at a permitted hazardous landfill facility.   In addition,
five wells (MW-107, -109, -104, -110, -114) installed during the Remedial
Investigation will be plugged so as not to create a pathway for additional
contamination of the groundwater.  To the extent possible, groundwater
will be monitored using remaining existing wells.

     Alternative 2, Containment Wall - This alternative is comprised of
     installing overlapping 2-3 foot thick grout columns within the Trinity
     aquifer.  The columns will be spaced three (3) feet  apart thus creating
     a barrier wall around the contaminated groundwater.  The barrier would
     limit the migration of the plume thereby reducing the number of water
     wells from the potential danger of contamination.  Although the contain-
     ment wall would be located in areas which would minimize the  disruption

 of  paved streets  and property,  the entire  plume  which  exceeds  0.05  mg/1
 total  chromium could be effectively contained  by the 3 foot  thick wall.
 The length of the barrier wall  will  be approximately 5,500 feet.  Recovery
 wells  would be installed to remove water from  the interior of  the contain-
 ment wall  so that the interior  water level  is  lower than  the surrounding
 aquifer.  The inward gradient would reduce  the potential  for contaminants
 to  migrate beyond the wall.  Construction  of the wall  is  expected to
 last 4 years.  The estimated present worth  cost  for this  alternative  is
 $24,218,000, including 30 years of monitoring.

 Alternative 3, Ion Exchange -  A central ion exchange  system would
 be  used to reduce the hexavalent chromium  levels present  in  the
 groundwater to levels of at least 0.05 mg/1.   Since an ion exchange
 system is  relatively simple to  operate, the operator's time  can be
 substantially reduced by automating a central  unit.  Individual
 units  would be labor intensive  since, for  proper operation,  an
 operator would have to constantly monitor  the  performance of each
 unit.   Low volumes of sodium chromate would be generated  during
 the treatment process, thus requiring disposal at a permitted,
 off-site disposal facility.  Treated groundwater will  be  injected
 into the aquifer  at locations upgradient from  the contaminated
 plume.  In order  to remediate the groundwater  within 10 years,
 four extraction wells pumping at 8 gpm and  two injection  wells at
 16  gpm are required.  Six extraction wells  (10 gpm) and three
 injection  wells (20 gpm) are required to treat the groundwater
•within 5 years.  Construction is expected  to last up to 5 months.
 The 10 year present worth implementation cost  is $3,706,000.  If
 the groundwater"is treated for  5 years the  cost  is $3,382,000
 including  disposal cost.  The annual operation and maintenance
 cost are included in the implementation cost.

 Alternative 4, Chemical Treatment -  The contaminated  groundwater
 will be treated with sodium bisulfate in order to chemically reduce
 the hexavalent chromium into trivalent chromium.  The  chromium would
 .then be precipitated from the groundwater  in the form of  chromium
 hydroxide.  When  the remedial action has been  completed,  the ground-
 water  concentration could be at or below  0.05 mg/1 for chromium.
 The same number of extraction/injection wells  previously  discussed
 in  Alternative 3  are required for the chemical treatment  process.
 Theoretically, the sludges produced during the treatment  process may
 be  considered non-hazardous; however, laboratory testing  of  the  sludge
 will be required  for verification.  Should laboratory testing  confirm
 the sludge contains trivalent chromium, rather than hexavalent,  the
 sludge may be disposed in a non-hazardous  disposal facility; other-
 wise,  the  sludge  will be disposed at a permitted facility.   The
 entire treatment  system could be erected inside  an enclosure to
 prevent tampering of the equipment.  Construction of the  treatment
 system is  expected to last 5 months.  The 10 year present worth
 cost is $4,801,000 including operation and maintenance.  $3,760,000
 has been estimated for the 5 year year option.

                                      11

     Alternative 5, Electrochemical Treatment - This system is similar to
     the chemical  treatment system (Alternative 4); however, an electric
     current, rather than sodium bisulfite, allows for the reduction of
     chromium from the hexavalent state to the trivalent state.  The
     volume of the treatment sludge (ferric and chromic hydroxide)
     precipitated with this alternative is greater than the volume produced
     during the chemical  treatment system.  The sludge that is produced
     may be non-hazardous.  The non-hazardous characteristics of this
     sludge can only be ascertained by performing extraction procedures
     toxicity test on the sludge during the remedial action.  As with
     Alternative 4, the results of the laboratory testing will determine
     the proper disposal  method for the treatment sludge.  The duration
     of constructing this system is estimated at 5 months.  A cost of
     $3,315,000 and $2,836,000 has been estimated for the present worth
     cost of the 10 and 5 year options, respectively.

     Alternative 6, Ion Exchange -  This option is similar to Alternative
     3; however, the.level of remediation will be 0.12 mg/1 rather than
     0.05 mg/1.  The purpose for developing a treatment alternative which
     does not remediate the groundwater to the current drinking water
     standard is to provide the relative cost difference in remediating
     the site should the maximum contaminant level (MCL) be revised prior
     to designing the treatment system.  The present worth cost of the
     remedy is $3,402,000 for the 10 year option and $2,948,000 for the 5
     year option, including operation and maintenance cost.

Evaluation of Alternatives
The degree that the six remedial alternatives meet the nine selection criteria
is contained in Table 4.  The following values were assigned to compare
remedial selection criteria:

     +  Alternative would exceed a criterion in comparison to other
        alternatives.

     •  Alternative can be designed to meet the selection criterion.

     -  In comparison to other remedies, these alternatives would present
        the most difficulty in achieving a selection criterion.

The rationale for the ratings assigned to this table is as follows:

     1.  Complies with ARARs

         Compliance with ARARs is achieved by Alternatives 3,4 and 5.
         These treatment alternatives are capable of attaining the Federally
         Regulated Primary Drinking Water Standard for chromium.  The  No

    Action, Containment Wall, and the 0.12 mg/1 Ion Exchange alternatives    fl
    (1,2 and 6-) do not comply with all ARARs since these options do
    not remediate the contaminated groundwater to the present MCL.

2.  Reduces:  Mobility, Toxicity. and Volume

    a.  No Action  was rated "-" because it does nothing to reduce
        any of these parameters.

    b.  Containment Uall received a "+" for mobility since it would
        effectively reduce further migration of the contaminants as
        long as the wall is properly maintained.  The wall would not
        reduce the toxicity or volume of the contaminated groundwater,
        therefore these parameters received "-".

    c.  Ion Exchange, Chemical Treatment, and Electrochemical Treatment
        (Alternatives 3,4,5, and 6) all were rated "+" for reductions
        in mobility and toxicity.  Each of these remedies either
        remove hexavalent chromium from the groundwater or reduce
        the hexavalent chromium to trivalent chromium which is less
        mobile and less toxic.  Although the treatment alternatives
        are capable of removing the chromium from the  groundwater,
        alternatives 3,4,5, and 6 received "0" for reduction in
        volume since the removal of chromium would not reduce the
        volume of the chromium waste,  groundwater.

3.  Short Term Effectiveness

    The No Action option was rated "-" since, although protection from
    short-term exposure through ingestion would be provided by the
    alternate water supply, there would still exist a potential for
    consumption of contaminated groundwater.  The inhalation risks
    associated with the extensive drilling required for installing
    the containment wall resulted in.the option receiving a  "-".
    Both the ion exchange alternatives were rated "0" when compared
    with the chemical and electrochemical systems which received  "+"
    because the ion exchange units produce a hazardous sludge whereas
    the other systems may result in a  non-hazardous treatment sludge.
    The sludge from the ion exchange units may pose a short  threat
    to human health and the environment should an accidental spill
    occur during transport to a disposal facility.

4.  Long Term Effectiveness and Permanence

    Since chromium levels will  remain  above the primary drinking  water
    standard, the No Action alternative was rated  "-".  The  containment
    remedy was assigned a "0" because, although contained, the  ground-
    water inside the barrier  remains  unfit  for  human  consumption.

-------
                                 13

    The containment barrier also has the potential of a breakthrough.
    Thus, its permanence relative to the treatment remedies is question-
    able.  Alternative 4, Chemical  Treatment, effectively reduces
    the level of chromium in the groundwater to the Primary Drinking
    Water Standard; however, the system will also increase the level
    of dissolved solids in the groundwater.  Although an increase in
    dissolved solids is not a health threat, it does effect the
    secondary quality (taste, color and odor) of the water; therefore,
    the alternative was rated "0".    All of the remaining treatment
    alternatives (3,5 and 6) receive a "•*•" since all chromium above
    the assigned cleanup criteria is removed without effecting
    the quality of the groundwater.

5.  Implementability

    The No Action alternative is relatively easy to implement since it
    involves installing new monitor wells and plugging some existing
    wells..  The containment wall will be very difficult to implement due
    to the extensive drilling required to install the wall.  The duration
    of the drilling activities is estimated at 4 years; therefore,
    Alternative 2 received a "-" for implementability.  The treatment
    remedies were assigned "0".  The treatment technologies considered
    for the site are not innovative and a standard system design may be
    used.  Construction and operation of these systems, while not simple,
    would not be as difficult to implement as the containment barrier
    option.

6.  Cost

    The present worth cost of each alternative includes capital cost,
    annual remediation operation and maintenance, annual post closure
    operation and maintenance, 5-year review cost, and replacement cost.
    Annual remediation operation and maintenance cost and replacement
    cost were calculated for the duration of the 5 and 10-year treatment
    remedy or 30 years for either the containment and no action altern
    atives.  The cost difference associated with a level of remediation
    (0.12 mg/1) greater than the current MCL (0.05 mg/1), is $400,000
    for the 5-year ion exchange option and $300,000 for the of the
    10-year ion option.  The difference in cost  is due to the number
    of extraction wells and the rate at which these wells produce.
    The cost of the treatment system is similar  at either level of
    remediation.

7.  Community Acceptance

    The community neither endorsed nor opposed any of the  remedial  actions
    presented during the public meeting.  However,  its unlikely the
    citizens impacted by the site would support  either a No Action  or

-------
            containment remedy since the chromium would not be removed  from
            their only source of drinking water.

        8.   State Acceptance

            The State (Texas Water Commission)  has concurred with  the Electro-
            chemical  Treatment process for the  remediation  of the chromium
            contaminated groundwater at the Odessa Chromium site.

        9.   Overall Protection of Human Health  and the Environment

            A rating of "-" was assigned to the No Action alternative because
            this option does not provide for any  reduction of exposure  to
            contaminated groundwater.  The water  will  remain contaminated at
            levels in excess of the present drinking water criteria. Containing
            the contaminated water, Alternative 2, is effective in protecting
            human health and the environment as long as the grout  barrier 1s
            properly maintained.  Although unlikely, breakthrough  of the wall
            may occur thus releasing the contaminated groundwater.  Due to
            the potential  increased risk caused by failure of the  barrier,
            Alternative 2 received a "0".  The  treatment options received
            the highest rating of "+".  These alternatives are highly effective
            since no chromium above the respective action levels will  remain
            in the groundwater following remedial action.

V.  SELECTED REMEDY:   Electrochemical Treatment

    Rationale

    Based on the information available to evaluate the six remedial options
    against these nine criteria, EPA has concluded that Alternative 5,
    electrochemical treatment of the groundwater for five years is the Agency's
    preferred alternative.  A treatability study will be conducted during
    the design phase of the project.  The results of this study will aid in
    designing an appropriate treatment system.  The five year duration option
    will be used rather than the ten year option due to the high O&M cost
    associated with the 10-year option.  This alternative is protective of
    human health and the environment, attains all applicable or relevant and
    appropriate Federal and State requirements, and is cost-effective.
    Additionally, because the alternative employs electrochemical treatment
    to eliminate the principal threat  (chromium greater than 0.05 mg/1 or
    the MCL promulgated prior to design), it also satisfies SARA's preference
    for remedies which employ treatment, as their principal element to reduce
    toxicity, mobility, or  volume.

    The site will be monitored for  a period of at least  30 years  (post closure
    time period stipulated  under RCRA) to ensure  that  no  significant contamination

-------
                                    15

migrates from the site.  If, however, future migration does occur, appropriate
remedial actions will be evaluated.

Operation and Maintenance (O&M)

Site operation and maintenance will be minimal following remedial action
since the chromium levels in the groundwater will be below the drinking
water standard.  Wells will be monitored annually to ensure chromium
levels remain below the clean-up criteria.  The State of Texas will assume
responsibility for operation and maintenance of the site.  EPA will pay
90% of the cost until the remedy attains the clean up criteria.  Following
remediation, the State of Texas will perform annual monitoring for, at
least, the remaining duration of the 30 year monitoring period.

Future Actions
No future actions are anticipated.  The electrochemical treatment alter-
native is considered permanent.  If, however, significant unforeseen
off-site migration or contamination occurs as a result of the site,
measures will be implemented to remediate the situation.

         Texas Remedial Section   (6H-ST)

  HE:     March  27, 1987
 FATEMENT OF PROBLEM

    Environmental Protection Agency  (EPA), Region VI Office, has  asked the
    :y for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) to review recent
     data from the Odessa Chromium sites and to re-evaluate our earlier,
 ^commendation that direct contact with the soil be limited.


 ist.of Documents Reviewed

 .  Memorandum from Jim McGuire, EPA  Region 6, to Carl  Hickam,  ATSDR,
   regarding Odessa Chromium I and II Sites.  .December 18, 1986.

 .  Data from Remedial Investigation  for Odessa Chromium I. Figures 4-2 and
   4-2a,  Tables 5-4 and 5-4a, and pages 5-3.

 .  ATSDR file on Odessa Chromium I and II.


 iscussion

'he Odessa Chromium I and II sites consist of several  industrial
•roperties in northwest Odessa, Texas, that are contaminated  with metal
>lating wastes.  In June-July 1983 four soil samples were  collected at the
>dessa Chromium I site that ranged from 2,000 to 20,000 PPM total
:hromiura.  The samples were not tested for hexavalent  chromium.   Based on
.his data, ATSDR recommended that direct contact with  the  contaminated
     be limited.

-------
 hase II analytical results from soil borings at five of the properties
 nvolved have been sent to ATSDR.  The table below summarises the total
 hromium data.

                      Total    Sample  Number of
 ocation             Chromium   Depth   Samples
              _       (mg./kg.)    (Ft.)
 318 Brazos             1311     0-2.5     7
 leridian Oil             367     0-2.5    10
 asin Radiator           162     0-2       3
 'ooley Tool              178     0-2       2
 [DT/Foreman Electric      22     0-2       2


 if the total chromium levels reported for the top soil boring fractions are
 •epresentative of the material at the soil surface,  these levels do not pose a
 significant threat to human health by direct contact with, or ingestion of, the
 :ontaminated soil, even if all the chromium were in the hexavalent form.

 SPA is currently investigating the airborne- pathway for the metals found at
 the sites.  We support this effort because both nickel and hexavalent chromium
 are carcinogens via the inhalation exposure route.

 EPA has previously identifies Chromium contamination of drinking water wells
 and is planning action to remove this exposure.


Recommendations


 1. Direct contact with the on-site soil does not need to be limited.

 2. In future situations where direct contact with soil is a potential health
   concern, samples should be taken at the surface, rather than from a boring.

3. Hexavalent chromium data should be used in the evaluation of the airborne
   exposure pathway, since hexavalent chromium is a carcinogen via inhalation.

4. Where the average total chromium levels in surface soil are greater than
   3,000 mg./kg., and soil ingestion is a potential pathway for human exposure,
   the samples should be analyzed for hexavalent chromium.


   We hope this information is useful to you in your  endeavors  at this  site.

Responsiveness Summary

This community relations responsiveness summary is divided into two sections:

Section I:  Background on Community involvement and Concern.

            This section provides a brief history of community interest and
            concern raised during the remedial planning activities at the
            Odessa Chromium I and Odessa Chromium II Superfund sites.

Section II: Summary of Major Comments Received during the Public Comment
            Period and the EPA Responses to the Comments.

            Both written and spoken comments are categorized by topics.
            EPA responses to these relevant major topics are also presented.

1.  Background on Community Involvement

    The final  Feasibility Study on the proposed Remedial Alternatives for the
    groundwater was submitted to the EPA in December 1987.  The EPA issued a news
    release on December 24, 1987, announcing the availability of the Feasibility
    Study and  EPA's preferred alternative and invited people to an "open house"
    on January 5, 1988.  The open house, which was held at the Odessa City Hall,
    served to  present the alternatives to City Officials and interested citizens
    and answer their questions.                         ~

    An EPA prepared fact sheet which described alternative clean up plans, 	  ~
    along with the EPA preferred remedy was mailed to the interested and
    affected public on January 4, 1988.  The fact sheet gave a brief site
    history, described the Superfund process and the cleanup alternatives,
    provided details about the public comment period and the public meeting
    to be held on January 21, 1988.

    On January 21, 1988, at 7:00 p.m. the EPA and the TWC staff conducted
    a public meeting at the Odessa City Council Chamber to brief the
    citizens on the study findings, review the alternatives considered;
    describe the EPA's preferred remedy, answered questions, and received
    comments on EPA's preferred remedy.  Twenty-one people attended this
    meeting.

    The public comment period began on January 8, 1988, and was to end
    February 8, 1988.  An extension was requested and granted by EPA
    which extended the comment period until February 15j 1988_. _.	  .._  ...;,

    Summary of Public Comments Received During Public Comment Period    .
    And Agency Responses

    A summary  of the comments provided during the commsrvt-peiH-od-is provided
    below.

Comment II

Which groundwater treatment process could cause an increase in  the  total
dissolved solids of the groundwater?

EPA Response to Comment II

Studies conducted for the chemical  treatment system indicate an increase  of
total dissolved solids in the groundwater is possible at both the Odessa
Chromium I and II sites.  The average increase experienced during the  tests
at both sites was 530 ppm.  Although this increase in dissolved solids is not
considered a health threat, it may  effect the secondary quality of  the
groundwater (taste, odor, color).

Comment 12

What is the probability that the treatment of the groundwater using the
electrochemical system will be completed within 5 years of system start-up
(1996 for Odessa I and 1997 for Odessa II)?

EPA.Response to Comment 12

The 5 year completion date are estimates based on previous experience  with the
electrochemical treatment system.   The schedules are contingent upon available
funding as well as minimal delays  associated with the design, construction,
and operation of the treatment system.  The system will continue to operate
until the Federal regulated drinking water standard for chromium is attained.

Comment 13

Will the electrochemical treatment of the chromium contaminated groundwater
generate a hazardous residue?

EPA Response to Comment 13

No.  During the treatment process, up to thrity-eight  (38) tons of treatment
residue will be precipitated per year.  The residue will contain ferric
hydroxide and  chromic hydroxide.  The treatment residue is expected to be
nonhazardous.  Laboratory testing of the material will be performed for
verification.  Should the testing confirm the  residue  is nonhazardous, it
may be disposed of at a nonhazardous industrial disposal facility; otherwise,
the material will be disposed as hazardous waste.

Comment 14

Will the Environmental  Protection Agency be conducting a clean-up  action  for
the chromium contaminated  soils at the sites?
