SITE NAME AND LOCATION

Dutchtown Oil Treatment Site
Ascension Parish, Louisiana


STATEMENT OF BASIS AND PURPOSE

This decision document presents  the  selected remedial action for
the Dutchtown Oil Treatment  Site (hereinafter "Outchtown" or the
"site"),  in Ascension  Parish,  Louisiana,  which  was chosen  in
accordance   with  the   Comprehensive  Environmental   Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 ("CERCLA"), as amended by
the Superfund Amendments and  Reauthorization Act of 1986 ("SARA"),
42  U.S.C.   S9601  et  seq.,  and  to the  extent practicable,  the
National Contingency Plan ("NCP").  This decision is based on the
Administrative Record for this site.

The State of Louisiana concurs on the selected remedy.


ASSESSMENT OF THE SITE

Actual or threatened releases of hazardous  substances from this
site, if not addressed by implementing the response actiori selected
in this  Record  of Decision  ("ROD"), may present an imminent and
substantial  endangerment  to  public  health,  welfare,  or  the
environment.
DESCRIPTION OF THE REMEDY

This ROD addresses  the contamination in the ground  water at the
site by  natural attenuation.   The  goal  of the  remedial action
selected in this ROD is  to prevent the migration of contaminants
from the shallow contaminated aquifer to the deeper drinking water
aquifer.  The major components of the selected remedy include:

     •    Ground  water   monitoring  to  determine   if  current
          conditions improve through  time,  remain  constant,  or
          worsen.   This includes  monitoring  of  both  onsite and
          adjacent private wells;

-------
     •    Institutional   controls   in  the   form   of   access
          restrictions,   including    installation    of   signs,
          restrictions on future use  of the property, fencing, and
          deed notices  and/or  restrictions on use of the ground
          water from site water wells;

     •    Installation of additional monitoring wells;

     •    Maintenance of existing caps and fence;

     •    Close out of the residential well on the Watt's property
          and drilling of a replacement well; and

     •    Contingency measures  (which include active treatment)
          will  be  implemented  at  the  site  if  ground  water
          monitoring   indicates  an   increase  in   contaminant
          concentrations (either vertically or horizontally).
                                                          »"
STATUTORY DETERMINATIONS

The  selected  remedy  is protective  of  human  health  and  the
environment, complies with Federal and State requirements that are
legally applicable  or relevant  and  appropriate to  the remedial
action, .and is cost  effective.   This remedy  utilizes permanent
solutions to the maximum extent practicable for this site.

Although treatment of the ground water contamination at the site is
not warranted based on the contaminated aquifer's classification as
a Class III aquifer,  the remedial action  for this site does meet
the statutory preference for treatment as  a principal element of
the remedy.  To address the source of contamination and remove the
principal threat to human health and  the environment, an expedited
response  action  (ERA),  which  included  offsite  incineration of
wastes from several sources, treatment of stormvater,  and treatment
of contaminated soils associated with the sources, was conducted, at
the site.

Because the remedy will result in hazardous substances remaining
onsite above health-based concentration levels,  a review will be
conducted within five years of  commencement of the remedial action
to ensure that the remedy continues to provide adequate protection
of /h\unan health and the  environment.

                       THE DECISION SUMMARY

I. SITE NAME, LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION

The Dutchtown  Oil Treatment Facility  is  an abandoned  waste oil
reclamation plant located at the intersection of Interstate Highway
10  and Louisiana  Highway 74  in  the  vicinity  of Dutchtown  in
Ascension Parish, Louisiana (Figure 1).  The site is surrounded by
residential  and  commercial  land  with  the  closest  residence
approximately  165  feet  from  a closed  small  waste oil pit.   A
school, Dutchtown Primary, is located approximately one half of a
mile west of the  site.  The total population within a 1-mile radius
is  reported as 1,836, with  approximately 369 people within the
Dutchtown community.

The site was engaged in the receipt of waste oils and other waste
materials   (solvents  and  petrochemical  wastes)  from  off-site
sources, the processing,  and the distribution of products from 1965
to  1982.  The  5-acre  site  (Figure  2)  included a  0.8 acre holding
pond, a 0.07 acre small waste oil pit, seven above ground vertical
storage tanks,  two small  horizontal tanks, and a railroad tank car
used as a horizontal  tank.  These  ponds and tanks  constitute the
sources of contamination at the site.

The site  has been cleared of  bushes and  trees  except  for large
trees  in  the extreme northwest  corner  and  in the  south central
portion of the site.   The northern  portion of the property outside
of  the fence remains  wooded  with heavy  undergrowth.    The only
structures remaining on  the site are a  well house  and a concrete
pad constructed for equipment decontamination during an Expedited
Response Action.

The  topography  of  the  site  is   nearly  level  with  an  average
elevation  of 15  feet above mean  sea  level.    Surface drainage
generally flows to the south through the drainage system associated
with Highway 74  and  Interstate 10.  Runoff flows  into  the Grand
Goudine Bayou,  through a tributary south of the site.
II. SITE HISTORY AND ENFORCEMENT ACTIVITIES

Dutchtown was engaged in the  receipt  of waste oils from off-site
sources, the processing, and the distribution of products from 1965
through 1982.   Pursuant to the State of Louisiana Hazardous Waste
Management  Rules  and  Regulations,  the  site owner,  Mr.  James
Glorioso, submitted a Notification of Hazardous Waste Activities to
the State's Hazardous Waste Management Division in October 1980,

and was  issued  an Interim Permit.  However, the  owner failed to
apply for the required permits to operate an onsite hazardous waste
treatment  storage  and  aisposal  facility.    Consequently,  all
reclamation  operations and  activities  were suspended following
orders  and  directives  issued  by  the   State's   Hazardous  Waste
Management  Division  and  the  Louisiana  Environmental  Control
Commission.  In August 1983,  and after the  death of the owner, the
Assistant Secretary of the Office of Environmental Affairs of the
Louisiana Department  of  Natural Resources  issued  an order to the
Glorioso  heirs  and  a  previous  plant   operator  to take  steps
necessary  to properly  close  the site  in  accordance with  the
Hazardous Waste  Division Regulations.   Failure by the parties to
comply with  the  provisions  of the  Order  allowed  the Assistant
Secretary to officially declare the site abandoned on January 17,
•1984.

Following the declaration of  abandonment, the Louisiana Department
of  Environmental  Quality  (LDEQ)  proceeded with site  security
measures  consisting of erecting  a perimeter  security  fence and
construction of the secondary containment berm around the holding
pond.  Following the site security actions,  a three-phase study was
performed for LDEQ by C-K Associates.   Phase I  consisted  of an
investigation performed in November 1984, to characterize the site
conditions (soil,  ground water,  hydrogeology,  etc.)  and presence
and extent of contamination.   This investigation  was followed by
Phase  II,  consisting  of development   of alternative  remedial
strategies in December 1984.  Phase III concluded the LDEQ study in
June 1985, with the presentation of a closure plan  strategy for the
site.

EPA began a series of site investigations in July  1985.  The first
investigation  in  July  1985,  consisted  of  an  EPA  Technical
Assistance Team  (TAT)  performing an onsite  inventory  of tankage at
the site.  This activity was  followed by a  sampling of the holding
pond and waste oil pits by the EPA TAT in January 1986.  Additional
sampling of the ten onsite tanks,  including the rail  tank car, was
performed in March  1987 by the  EPA TAT.

An emergency response was performed in March 1987 by EPA to clean
up  a spill  resulting from  vandalism  of  the  rail  tank  car and
finished oil  storage  tank.  The spilled material was removed, and
all storage tank valves were secured.

Dutchtown was proposed for  inclusion on the National Priorities
List  (NPL) on January 22, 1987, and was promulgated  on the NPL on
July 27, 1987.

-------
Following the inclusion of Dutchtown on the  NPL,  EPA sampled and
characterized the liquid and  sludge phases of the holding pond and
small waste oil pit in December 1987.  In January 1988, EPA sampled
three  storage  tanks  and the  holding  pond  for  dioxin. ,   An
Engineering Evaluation/Cost Analysis (EE/CA) was issued in February
1988, which presented an evaluation of removal alternatives for the
holding pond, waste oil pit and storage tanks.

EPA  announced through a  press  release that the  EE/CA had  been
completed  on the proposed removal action.   EPA also announced a
public comment period on the  EE/CA and advised the public that the
EE/CA was available for review.  A public meeting on the EE/CA was
held in March 1988, at the Dutchtown Primary  School.

On March 25,  1988,  EPA  issued an Action Memorandum for performance
of an Expedited Response Action  (ERA).  A Consent Decree signed by
the potentially responsible parties  (PRPs) to design and implement
the ERA was finalized on May 23, 1990.

The work to be performed under the ERA included the following:

•    Removal of the contents of the holding  pond,  waste oil  pit,
     and the above ground  storage tanks, and processing the  oily
     sludge on site to be suitable for offsite  incineration.

•    Onsite  treatment  and  disposal  of  water  from  the  pits,
     decontamination activities, and tank cleaning.

•    Excavation and treatment of the soils under  the waste pits,
     and holding ponds by  soil washing to concentrations less than
     4 parts per million (ppm)  of benzene.

The  ERA  was  conducted from   January 1991,  through  August 1991.
During the ERA,  the  following waste quantities were removed and
treated:

•    449,810 gallons of waste oil from the holding pond, waste oil
     pit, and tanks were recovered,  blended,  and shipped off-site
     for incineration.

•    A total of 3,451,999  gallons of stormwater from the waste oil
     pit and the holding pond were  treated  in the  onsite water
     treatment unit.  A total of 2,400,695 gallons of water  were
     discharged  onsite while  a total of 1,051,304 gallons of water
     were routed to the soil washing unit.

-------
•    4,400 cubic yards of soil were treated by soil washing onsite
     to concentrations  less  than 4.0 ppm of  benzene,  stabilized
     with fly ash and placed as backfill into the pond and pit.

After removal of the oil and  other waste from the waste oil pit in
May 1991, visibly contaminated ground water  was observed seeping
into the waste oil pit during excavation.  The excavated waste oil
pit was left open, and ground water was continuously pumped for the
remainder of the ERA.   The water recovered was  processed  by the
onsite water treatment system.   The PRPs and EPA agreed to modify
the ERA work plan to include  the  installation of a French drain in
the small waste oil pit to recover contaminated ground water during
the Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study  (RI/FS)  process.   A
total  of  75,792 gallons of  ground  water were  recovered through
August 24, 1992. The French drain has not been pumped since August
1992.

Following completion of  the  ERA, compacted caps of  imported clay
were installed over the backfilled holding pond, the french drain
in the former waste oil pit,  and the areas previously occupied by
the storage tanks.   The site is also surrounded by a 6-foot chain
link fence.
III. HIGHLIGHTS OF COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION

The requirements of CERCLA Sections 113 (k) (2) (B) (i-v) and 117, 42
U.S.C. §§ 9613(k)(2)(B)(i-v) and 9617, were met during the remedy
selection process, as illustrated in the following, discussion.

The RI/FS Reports and Proposed Plan for the site were released on
October 15, 1993.  The documents were  made available to the public
in  the  Administrative Record  File  in the  following information
repositories: Ascension Parish Library, Gonzales Branch, Gonzales,
Louisiana; Louisiana  Department of Environmental  Quality,  Baton
Rouge,  Louisiana;  and the  U.S. Environmental  Protection Agency
Region 6 Library,  Dallas, Texas.  A summary of the Proposed Plan
and  the  notice  of  availability  of the   these  documents  and
Administrative Record File was published  in the October 15, 1993,
edition of the Baton Rouge Daily Advocate and the October 14, 1993,
edition  of  the  Gonzales  Weekly.    In  addition,  a fact  sheet
summarizing the Proposed Plan of Action for Dutchtown was mailed to
the  site mailing  list on October  15,  1993.   An open  house to
present  the  findings  of the Proposed Plan  of  Action was held on
October  14,  1993, at the Dutchtown Primary   School.

-------
The EPA held a public comment period regarding the RI/FS, Proposed
Plan  and Administrative Record  from October  15,  1993,  through
November 13,  1993.   During this  initial  public  comment period, a
formal  public meeting  was  held  on  October  28,  1993,  at  the
Dutchtown Primary School.  Representatives from EPA presented the
remedial alternatives, EPA's preferred alternative,  and answered
questions.  All questions and comments were recorded to be included
in the Responsiveness Summary.

A  response  to all  comments received during the 30 day  public
comment period, either written  or verbally expressed at the public
meeting, is included in the Responsiveness Summary (Appendix /I).
The Responsiveness Summary is included as part of the ROD.

This decision document presents  the selected remedial  action for
the Dutchtown Oil Treatment Superfund Site,  in  Ascension Parish,
Louisiana,  chosen  in accordance with CERCLA,  as amended by the
Superfund Amendments  and Reauthorization Act and, to  the  extent
practicable, the National Contingency Plan (NCP).   The decision for
this site is based on the Administrative Record.  An index for the
Administrative Record is included as Appendix #2 to the ROD.
IV. SCOPE AND ROLE OF RESPONSE ACTIONS

The remedy  to eliminate  or minimize  the  identified threats  at
Dutchtown is addressed as one operable unit under this ROD.  This
is the  only and final operable unit  planned for this site.   As
mentioned previously, an ERA was completed  in 1991 at this site to
address threats associated with the holding pond, the waste pits,
and the storage tanks and their contents.

The principal threat wastes at the site were the soils, sludges and
liquids associated with the  holding pond, the small waste oil pit,
and the above-ground storage tanks.  EPA defines principal threats
as sources of highly mobile or toxic materials which cannot be kept
in place  by  engineering  controls and represent a risk  several
orders of magnitude higher than health-based goals  for  the site.
These sources of wastes were removed during the ERA, and the soils
associated with  the sources were treated  to concentrations less
than 4.0 ppm of benzene.  The 4.0 ppm benzene remediation level was
the health-based soil remediation concentration calculated for this
site which  resulted in less than  one excess cancer risk  in one
million people once the ERA  was completed.  The areas previously
occupied by  the holding pond, waste oil pit, and storage tanks were
backfilled and covered with a compacted clay cap.

-------
Low level threat materials are sources of contamination that could
be kept in place by capping and pose a low risk.  The  low level
threat materials at the site include surface soils over a limited
portion of the site.  The  Remedial Investigation (Rl)  conducted at
the site also identified contamination in the shallow aquifer which
poses a low level threat.

Since the principal threat wastes were addressed  earlier  by the
ERA, the actions  in this  ROD address the  low level threat wastes
and the ground water contamination.

The remedial action objectives for soils at the site  are:

     1.   Prevent ingestion and direct contact with  soil  having
          concentrations of chemicals of concern.
                                                         i'
     2.   Prevent inhalation of  carcinogenic chemicals of concern.

The remedial action objectives for ground water at the site are:

     1.   Prevent human exposure to contaminated  shallow  ground
          water.

     2.   Prevent contamination  of the underlying 100-foot drinking
          water aquifer.

     3.   Restore contaminated shallow ground water (based on its
          classification)  for future use.
V.   SUMMARY OF SITE CHARACTERISTICS

The  site  is  relatively  flat  with  little  relief.    Post-ERA
topographic  features  display  a  high point at  the crest  of the
covered. holding  pond,  which is  approximately 6 to 8  feet above
natural grade.  Low areas are apparent in the northeast portion of
the  site,  extending around  the  northern portion  of  the covered
holding pond and onto the adjacent Watts property on the west side
of the site.

The  area  surrounding  the site  has  a warm,  humid,  subtropical
climate  characterized by high  average rainfall, high  relative
humidity  and a  high  average  temperature.   The prevailing wind
direction is from the south  in the summer and east in the winter,
and  the average wind  speeds  are less  than  10 miles per hour.
Annual rainfall averages  are about 59  inches, with July typically
being the wettest month.  Hurricanes  and severe  local storms have

                                 8

-------
occurred historically over the Dutchtown area, being more frequent
during the summer and fall months.  The average annual temperature
is 69°  F.   July is  typically the hottest month with  an average
temperature of 80° F, while January typically is the coldest, with
an average temperature of 54° F.
Surface Water

The  site  is  drained by  a series  of small  ditches that  carry
stormwater runoff  to the south.   The site drainage  system then
merges with the drainage systems associated with Louisiana Highway
74 and Interstate 10. From there, drainage is directed into Grand
Goudine Bayou,  located  approximately  1/4  mile southeast of  the
site.   Grand  Goudine  Bayou flows  into New  River, which  flows
through Ascension  Parish.   Drainage  is  then directed through a
series  of  small  rivers  and  canals  into Lake  Maurepas  which
ultimately drains into Lake Pontchatrain.

The U.  S.  Department of Housing and  Urban Development,  National
Flood Insurance  Program has  classified the site  and surrounding
area as Zone C (Federal Fjnergency Management Agency, 1983) .   This
indicates that the site  is in  an area of minimal  flooding and is
not within the 100-year flood plain.

Regional Geology And Hydrogeology

The  site,  which  is located  in Ascension Parish,  lies in  the
Mississippi alluvial plain section of the east Gulf Coastal Plain
physiographic province.   The dominate  physiographic feature of the
region is the Mississippi River.

The major aquifers in the area  are fairly extensive beds of thick,
permeable, unconsolidated sand  that  dip slightly to the southwest.
These sand beds are separated by relatively  impermeable clays.  The
aquifer system is overlain and  confined by  layers of silt and clay
ranging from  75  to 300  feet in thickness.  These sediments that
form the major aquifers have been  subdivided  into  four  geologic
units.   These units from youngest to oldest include:   younger
deltaic deposits, alluvium of the Mississippi River, older deltaic
deposits, and Miocene and Pliocene sediments.

The younger deltaic deposits range from 50 to 180 feet in thickness
and are present near the Mississippi River  in the southern portion
of Ascension Parish, but not in the vicinity  of the site.   There
are no wells screened in this unit that were listed in any of the
currently available published literature.

-------
With respect to the shallow hydrogeology of the site, there are two
shallow, water-bearing  units that occur  within 100 feet  of the
surface.  The  shallowest unit  consists  of a silty clay occurring
from ground surface to about 14 feet below grade.  Underlying the
first permeable zone, is a low-permeability (2.6 x 10*9 cm/sec) clay
confining  layer  approximately 15 feet thick,  that appears  to
preclude downward ground water  migration.   However, silt seams and
pockets present in some borings in the unit may provide hydraulic
connections between the two water-bearing units.

In accordance with EPA's Guidelines for Ground Water Classification
Under the EPA  Ground Water  Protection Strategy. (December 1986)t
this shallow water zone is classified as a Class III aquifer.  To
be classified as  a Class III aquifer,  an aquifer must have a total
dissolved solids  concentration  greater than 10,000 part per million
(ppm) and/or an  aquifer yield  of less  than  150 gallons  per day.
Although the total dissolved solids of this shallow ground water is
less than 10,000  ppm,  the yield is only  between  10 and 120 gallons
per day.  Because the ground water yield is less than 150 gallons
per day, the aquifer is classified as Class III.

The second  water-bearing zone  is located  approximately  30 to 35
feet below grade. The unit is confined above by a low permeability
clay layer and below by  a low-permeability (3.3 x 10"8 cm/sec) clay
from 35 to 100 feet below grade.

The next  water-bearing  zone,  the alluvium sediments,  consist of
fine-grained clay and silt near the top of the unit, grading into
coarse  sand and gravel near  the  base.    The  sand and  gravel
underlying the fine-grained  clay and silt  is generally called the
"alluvial aquifer."  The alluvial aquifer, which is also commonly
referred to  as the Norco aquifer, extends -from about  100 to 300
feet  below ground  surface   near  Dutchtown.    This  is the first
aquifer in the area of the site in which domestic water wells are
located.

The older deltaic deposits consist of thick sands separated by clay
beds  and  is referred to as the Gonzales  aquifer.   The Gonzales
aquifer is confined by  a thin  clay  bed that ranges from 30 to 80
feet in thickness.  Other aquifers, including the "400-foot" sand
and "600-foot" sand units of the Baton Rouge area, are part of the
older deltaic  deposits.  The Gonzales aquifer ranges in thickness
from 150 to 300 feet.  Wells  screened in the Gonzales aquifer yield
moderate to large quantities of fresh water.  A majority of wells
in Ascension  Parish are screened 'in  the  older deltaic deposits.
The unit  is  generally present  from 300 to 1000 feet below ground
surface.

A recent listing of wells registered with Louisiana Department of
Transportation and Development  (DOTD) within a one-half mile radius
of the site has been compiled.   Approximately 61 water wells were
identified.   The  reported use  for most  of the  wells was  for
drinking water.  A water well search was performed to define well
locations, but not the type of usage.  The reported depths of these
wells range from  200 to 1,000  feet.  A  compilation  of the water
well information is included in Figure 3.
Known Or Suspected Sources Of Contamination

Although the  primary sources of  contamination at the  site  were
removed during the ERA, the long-term presence of the wastes at the
site and their periodic releases into the environment has impacted
site soils and ground water.  Therefore, the field investigations
of the Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Study  (RI/FS)  were
conducted to:  1)  determine the nature  and extent of the soil and
ground.water contamination at the  site  after  the  ERA and,  2)   to
evaluate the  potential pathways  of  migration for any  remaining
contaminants.   The  PRPs initiated  remedial  investigation  (RI)
activities on August 7, 1989 pursuant to  an Administrative Order on
Consent with EPA.
Contamination Characterization

Soils Investigation

A series of shallow borings was drilled to characterize the nature
and extent of shallow subsurface contamination.  The borings were
usually drilled to the first water-bearing zone which was typically
encountered in a silty clay layer approximately 9 to 14 feet below
ground surface.  Deeper borings were drilled on a limited basis to
evaluate  the   next  deeper  water-bearing   zone   which  occurs
approximately 30 to 35  feet below  ground surface.   A total of 68
investigative  borings  were  drilled.   Thirty-eight  borings were
drilled around the holding pond and 30 borings  were drilled around
the waste pit.

Results of Soils Investigation

Subsurface Soils
Sample results  from the  shallow and deep borings  indicate that
subsurface contamination is limited to the shallow soils  (less than
14 feet) at the site.

The  subsurface  plumes  of  the  predominant  volatile  organics
(benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene,  styrene,  and xylene) were tracked
from two  sources  (i.e., waste  oil pit and holding pond).   The
presence of organic constituents extends radially from the sources,
predominantly in the eastern and  northern  directions away from the
holding pond (Figure 4). Contamination around the small waste oil
pit extends to the east and west toward the limits of the former
tanks and across the property line onto the Watts' pasture (Figure
4) .     Ethylbenzene   is  the  leading constituent   found  with
concentrations ranging  from nondetectable  to  1,200  ng/g (ppm).
Benzene, styrene and toluene occur at concentrations more than an
order of magnitude lower, ranging from nondetectable to 62 /*g/g.
Semivolatile constituents were detected, but at significantly lower
concentrations. The highest concentration of semivolatiles detected
was phenanthrene at 8.5 pg/g.

Inorganics were found at the site in concentrations indicative of
background  constituents and  concentrations naturally  occurring
within  the region.   Pesticides/PCBs  were  not  detected  in  soil
boring samples.

Surface Soils
The treated soils in the Waste Pit and Holding Pond were backfilled
to depths  of up  to 9 feet  and covered by an 18  to  24 inch thick
clay cap.    The  areas  of  the   former tanks were  covered  with
compacted  clay caps  approximately 6 inches thick.   In addition,
compacted gravel covers much of  the site.   The  highest degree of
surface soil contamination was found in the  immediate areas of the
former sources which are now covered by a clay cap.

The constituents identified in  the surface soils  that  are  not
covered and  sediments are  similar  to  those found  in subsurface
samples.   The surface  soil sampling  indicated the  presence  of
ethylbenzene, with concentrations ranging from 4 ug/kg (parts per
billion, ppb) to a high of  2700  ug/kg. Xylene  was identified at
concentrations of 5 ug/kg to 16  ug/kg,  and benzene at 60 ug/kg.

Pesticides and PCBs were detected sporadically and appeared to be
limited to localized  areas  south of the former  tank area and the
holding pond.  Samples collected outside the physical boundaries of
the site and  in  drainage areas  did not indicate the presence of
organic volatile or semivolatile constituents in surface soi,ls.
Ground Water Investigation
Based  on  the  results  of  the  soil  investigations,  a  series of
monitor wells was installed at the interpreted boundaries of the

subsurface contaminant  plumes.   Nine shallow monitor  wells were
installed at depths ranging  from  9.5  feet to 14 feet to evaluate
the ground water quality in the uppermost water-bearing zone.  To
evaluate ground water quality  in the next  deeper water-bearing
zone, three deeper monitor wells were installed at depths ranging
from 32 to 34 feet.

Ground water sample results indicate that the organic constituents
present  in  the  shallow water-bearing unit  consist of  the same
constituents  detected  in  the  subsurface  soils.    The  samples
collected from  the deeper  wells did not  indicate the presence of
organic  constituents.   The  results of  the shallow ground water
sampling also confirmed  that  there are two ground water plumes, one
associated with the former holding pond  and the other associated
with the waste  pit,  and that  the  contamination extends  to the
limits  of the  subsurface soil plume.    The  concentrations  of
ethylbenzene in ground water samples ranged from nondetectable to
12 mg/1  (ppm).   The nature of shallow ground water contamination
plume around the former waste pit was evaluated during the ERA by
collecting  a sample  from the french  drain.   The  predominant
constituents were benzene at 38 mg/1 and ethylbenzene at 27 mg/1.
The areal  extent of  shallow ground water  contamination plumes,
based on ethylbenzene concentrations is presented on Figure 4.

The ground  water constituent plume was  modeled to simulate the
vertical movement  of benzene,  ethylbenzene  and  styrene  and to
evaluate their potential for impacting the aquifer in which water
wells are installed in  the area.   The shallowest  drinking water
aquifer  is  at  an  approximate depth of  150 feet.    The selected
chemicals were  chosen  for the model based on  their  abundance,
solubility  in  water  and  mobility  at the site.    A  series  of
simulations was performed for  time  periods  of 20, 50,  and 100
years.    An  additional simulation  of 200 years  was performed for
benzene.  A  detailed  discussion of the ground  water modeling is
included in  Appendix  G  of the Dutchtown  Remedial Investigation
Report.

The  results of the  modeling  show  that  the  concentrations  of
benzene, ethylbenzene  and styrene  decrease rapidly with  depth from
the depth of the water table  to the base of the  silty clay  zone at
14  feet.   Based on  the model,  the  ground  water contamination
constituents  should  not migrate  to  a  depth  of  100  feet.   In
addition, the model indicates that,  benzene would migrate to 28
feet below the source  at the  surface, ethylbenzene to 19 feet, and
styrene to 14.5  feet before their concentrations decreased to their
respective Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL).  Under the worst case
set  of  modeling  parameters,  contaminant  concentrations  were
                                i
                                15

-------
calculated to be below applicable MCLs by  the  time the plume had
migrated to  a depth  of  100  feet,  (which is  50  feet  above  the
aquifer at 150 feet.

Surface Water and Air Investigation
Surface water  contamination  was  not evident  based on a  sample
collected  from the secondary containment area  adjacent to  the
former holding pond.   The results from  the sample were  within
discharge criteria without requiring treatment prior to discharge.
The  discharge  standards  were  established  during the ERA  and
included  clean-up  criteria  from  the  Louisiana  Water  Quality
Standards, Louisiana Water Control Law, and the National Pollutant
Discharge And Elimination System (NPDES).   In addition, the former
sources at the site are covered with a compacted clay cap.   Thus,
it is  believed that surface  water  which may  collect  beyond the
immediate areas of the former  sources  is not a potential threat to
human health or the environment.  The major  sources for volatile
air emissions at the site were the above ground storage tanks, the
holding pond, and the waste oil pit.

In each of these  sources, waste oil was directly  exposed  to the
atmosphere.  Since the tanks,  waste  oil pit, and holding pond have
been removed, the remaining potential for release of contaminants
into the air through emission is negligible.   Although the french
drain  sump may provide  an emission  source  during pumping,  the
probability of detectable emissions is small, especially since no
emission in  excess of the action levels were  evident  during the
actual waste handling  activities during the ERA. No additional air
sampling has occurred since completion of ERA activities.

Exposure Routes

For  surface  soils,   the  primary  potential  routes for  further
migration  of the  surface contamination are:   1)  through surface
runoff   which   would   transport   the   contaminated   surface
soils/sediments,  2)  through  air  transport which carries  dust
offsite, and 3) emissions through evapotranspiration.

The areas of the former tanks were backfilled with clay  soils.  The
treated soils in the waste pit  and holding pond are backfilled to
depths of up to 9  feet and covered by a 2-foot thick clay cap.  The
highest degree of  surface soil  contamination was found  in the
immediate  areas  adjacent to former sources, and  are now covered
with  some form of  fill material  or  clay  cap.    In addition,
compacted  gravel covers much  of the site.  Thus, it is  not likely
that further migration of surface contamination will occur through
surface water  movement or dust carried by wind.   The areas that

                                16

-------
have contamination at the near surface and are not covered by fill
material  may be  subject  to evapotranspiration  of the  organic
constituents. However, the concentrations of the organics near the
surface  are significantly  lower than  at  depth and,  therefore,
evapotranspiration  is not  considered  to  be  significant  as  a
pathway.

Subsurface  soils  are believed  to  have  been contaminated  by
percolation and infiltration of the pond and pit contents into the
underlying soils.  Thus,  subsurface soil and shallow ground water
are evaluated together.   A potential pathway for further migration
of contamination from the subsurface soils is through infiltration
into the ground water and the further horizontal  movement of ground
water.   Vertical migration  of  the shallow ground water  and/or
shallow subsurface soil contamination  through downward percolation
of the constituents into  the next lower  water-bearing zone is also
a potential pathway.
VI.  SUMMARY OF SITE RISKS

An  evaluation of  the potential  risks  to  human health  and  the
environment from  site contaminants was conducted as  part qf  the
baseline  risk  assessment.    The  baseline  risk assessment  was
conducted as part of the RI.  The methods used in the development
of  the  risk assessment are  based on the  following  EPA guidance
documents: Risk Assessment Guidance for  Superfund.  Vol. I;  Human
Health  Evaluation Manual (Part A),  1989.  also  known as "RAGS".
Exposure Factors  Handbook fl989b). Risk Assessment  Guidance  for
Superfund; Volume I:  Human Health Evaluation Manual, Part B fEPA
1991).  Risk  Assessment  Guidance   for  Superfund.   Volume  II;
Environmental Evaluation'  Manual  (EPA.  1989c).  Superfund Exposure
Assessment Manual  (EPA.  1988).  Health  Effects Assessment Summary
Tables  (EPA. 1990cl. and the National Contingency Plan.

The objectives  of the baseline risk assessment  were  to (1) help
determine whether additional response actions are necessary at the
site; (2)  provide a basis for determining residual chemical levels
that are adequately protective of human health and the environment;
and (3) provide a basis for comparing potential health impacts of
various remedial alternatives.  The baseline risk  assessment, which
evaluates the risks posed if no remedial  action is  taken at the
site, was divided into two parts: the human health evaluation and
the environmental evaluation.
                                17

-------
Chemicals of Potential Concern

The initial step in developing the human health risk assessment is
to  identify the  site-related  chemicals of  potential  concern.
Chemicals of potential concern are hazardous compounds that may be
present at or released from a site  that  may pose health risks to
humans coming in contact with them.

A list of chemicals of potential concern was generated for each of
the three media (onsite  surface soil, offsite surface  soil,  and
off site particulates)  based on the analytical data presented in the
RI Report.   A  concentration-toxicity  screen  was applied to  the
carcinogenic and noncar.cihogenic constituents that were considered
potential site contaminants.  The concentration-toxicity screen was
conducted separately  for each medium  (onsite  soil,  offsite  soil,
and dust).

The list  of chemicals of potential concern  for each medium  are
presented  in Table  1.    The list  includes  noncarcinogenic  and
carcinogenic  compounds detected  at the site that represent  1
percent or more  of the total hazard (indicated by the concentration
toxicity screening) and chemicals that were detected that possess
subchronic and/or chronic toxicity and/or carcinogenic potential.
In addition  to  compounds representing 1 percent of more of  the
total hazard, ethylbenzene,  toluene and  lead (if detected  in a
specific medium) were considered as  chemicals of potential concern
in this risk assessment.

Exposure Scenarios

The  objective  of  the  exposure  assessment  is  to  identify  the
populations that may be most exposed to site-related chemicals, the
pathways by which exposure may occur, and  the magnitude, frequency,
and duration of  the exposures. The  exposure assessment focuses on
the chemicals of potential concern  that  are  present or that have
migrated from the site.  The results of the exposure assessment are
pathway-specific  chemical  intakes   of  identified   chemicals  of
concern.
Exposed Populations and Exposure Pathways

The populations on and near the site were characterized in order to
assess the likelihood and extent of exposure to site contaminants.
The site  is  currently vacant.   The immediate future land use  for
the site  is to remain vacant land  surrounded by fencing.

A Site  Conceptual Exposure Model  for the  site is presented in
Figure 5.  This Site Conceptual Exposure Model indicates complete
and  incomplete   pathways  and  corresponding   significant  and
insignificant exposure pathways.

The site  conceptual  exposure  model shows two primary sources of
contaminants at the site:

     •     Shallow ground water aquifer
     •     Surface and subsurface soils

The  shallow ground  water  zone does  not  represent  a  complete
exposure  pathway  (i.e.,  drinking,   bathing,  ' etc.)   since  no
residential wells currently use this zone  in the vicinity of the
site, nor is this zone expected to be used in the future due to its
insufficient yield capabilities and classification as a Cl^ss III
aquifer.   Therefore, only  potential  exposure  to surface  soils
(ingestion,  dermal,   particulate   inhalation)  was   addressed
quantitatively in  this  risk  assessment.   The  exposure  pathways
considered in this Baseline Risk Assessment include:

     •     Dermal,  ingestion,  and  inhalation (dust)   exposure to
          current and future area residents  (adults and children)
          from contaminants present in onsite and offsite surface
          soils  (0 to 6 inches)

     •     Dermal, ingestion, and inhalation (dust) exposure to site
          trespassers (older children) from contaminants present in
          surface soils

Surface water and sediments were not considered quantitatively in
the  risk assessment.    These media were not  considered  to be
associated  with  significant exposures  (and subsequent potential
risk/hazard) due to  drainage  patterns from  the site  (i.e., away
from  residential  receptors)   and  due   to  the   likely  low
concentrations of site chemicals present in surface water  (based on
low surface soil concentrations of site contaminants).  Potential
exposure  to ground  water was addressed  quantitatively through
modeling.

Exposure  Point Concentrations

Exposure  point concentrations are  the chemical concentrations to
which a  receptor is  exposed when contact is made with a  specific
environmental medium.

The chemical concentrations for media of  concern at the site are
presented in Tables 2, 3, and 4:

     •    Onsite surface soil (Table 2)
     •    Offsite (perimeter)  surface soil (Table 3)
     •    Particulate (dust) from offsite soil (Table 4)

Chemical Intake

The magnitude of  human  exposures to chemicals of  concern  at the
site  is described  as  the potential  dose  or  intakes by  each
receptor.  The magnitude of exposure to a chemical (or intake) is
a  function  of   a  number  of  variables,   including  exposure
concentration and variables that describe the exposed population
(e.g.,  contact  rate,  exposure  frequency  and duration,  and  body
weight).  Each of these  variables can be  described by a range of
parameters.   For purposes  of this  assessment,  two  measures of
exposure have been defined using two sets of exposure variables:
an average exposure and a reasonable maximum exposure (RME).
                     ^
The  average  exposure is estimated  using the  95 percent Upper
Confidence Limit  (UCL)  of the arithmetic  average  of measured
chemical  concentrations and  exposure  variables  that  represent
central values or best estimates of exposure for an  individual with
normal  activity  patterns.    This  approach, which  is commonly
referred to as the "central tendency"  , provides  a  range  of the
risk  estimates  from the "average"  exposure to  the "reasonable
maximum exposure".

The RME has been  estimated  using guidance provided in EPA's Risk
Assessment Guidance for Superfund (RAGS)  (EPA,  1989a).   The RME is
defined by selecting intake variable values so that the combination
of all intake variables  results  in a  maximum  exposure that is
reasonably expected to occur at the site.  The RME represents the
90th percentile exposure, that is,  the exposure expected to occur
in 1 of every 10 exposed individuals. The intent of  the RME is to
estimate a conservative, well above average exposure case  that is
still within the range of possible exposures.  The EPA recommends
that the 95 percent UCL  on the arithmetic  average be  used for this
variable  in  characterizing  the   RME   because  of  uncertainty
surrounding any  estimate of exposure concentration.   The intake
assumptions used in this BRA for both  the average  and RME are
presented in Table 5, Table 6, and Table 7.

Toxicity Assessment

The purpose of the toxicity assessment  is to evaluate the toxicity
of site-related chemicals of potential  concern and to estimate the
dose-response  relationship  for  each  of  these  chemicals.    The
evaluation of the toxicity of the site-related chemicals determined
whether  exposure to a  chemical could cause  an increase  in the
incidence of  a particular  adverse  health  effect (carcinogenic or
non-carcinogenic)  and  whether  the adverse  health effect  would
likely   occur  in  humans.    The  second   step,   dose-response
relationship, quantitatively evaluated the toxicity information and
characterized the  relationship  between the dose of  the chemical
received and the incidence  of adverse health effects in the exposed
population.

Noncarcinogenic  responses   are  generally   characterized   by  a
threshold:  a certain minimum intake of a substance below which the
likelihood of adverse deleterious  effects  is  expected  to be low.
Carcinogenic  responses  are assumed to have no threshold.   This
assumption means that there is some cancer risk no matter how small
the dose.

The two principal indexes of toxicity are the reference dose  (RfD)
and slope factor (SF) .   These values  are derived by EPA for the
most commonly occurring chemicals  and the most toxic chemicals
generally associated with chemical  releases to the environment for
which adequate, scientific, dose-response data are available.  An
RfD  is  the   intake or  dose per  unit of  body weight per day
(mg/kg/day) that is unlikely to  result  in non-carcinogenic (toxic)
effects to human populations, including sensitive subgroups (e.g.,
the very young or old)..

The  SF  is  used  to estimate an upper-bound  probability of  an
individual developing  cancer as a result of exposure to a potential
carcinogen.   Carcinogens with EPA-derived slope factors are also
given an EPA weight-of-evidence classification, whereby potential
carcinogens are  grouped  depending  on the  quality and quantity of
carcinogenic potency data  for a given  chemical.  Table 8 presents
the EPA weight-of-evidence classification system.  Available RfDs
and SFs for each chemical  of concern are presented in Table  9.

Risk Characterization

In  the  risk  characterization,  the  results  of  the  toxicity
assessment  (slope  factors,  RfDs)  and the exposure  assessment
(chemical  intakes  for   potentially   exposed  populations)  are
integrated to arrive at  quantitative estimates of carcinogenic

risks  and  non-carcinogenic  risks.    The  results of  the  risk
characterization  potentially provide  a basis  for any  remedial
action  that might  be  needed to  protect public  health  and the
environment.

Human health  risks or hazards  are generally classified  into 1)
incremental risks of cancer, and 2)  noncancer effects as determined
by the hazard index.

According  to the  1990  National  Oil  and  Hazardous  Substances
Pollution  Contingency  Plan  (NCP,  1990),   which  provides  the
framework for implementation of the Superfund program, the lifetime
incremental (excess) cancer risk should not exceed the  1  xlO"4 to
1 x  10'6 range.    OSWER Directive 9355.0-30  (EPA,  1991a)  states,
•"Where the cumulative carcinogenic site risk to an individual based
on an RME scenario for the current  and future  use is less than 1 x
10~4, and the noncarcinogenic hazard quotient  (index)  is less than
one,   remedial    action   is   generally   not   warranted. . .."
Noncarcinogenic health hazards are expressed in terms of a Hazard
Quotient  (HQ)  for  a  single  substance  or  Hazard  Index  (HI)  for
multiple substances and/or exposure pathways.  These are ratios of
particular  chemical exposures  compared  to  reference  doses  as
discussed further below.   If the value of the HQ is  less than." 1,
the hazards are not considered to pose a threat to public health,
including sensitive subgroups.

Carcinogenic Risk

Carcinogenic risks are estimated as the incremental.probability of
an individual developing cancer over  a lifetime  as a  result of
exposure  to  a  potential  carcinogen.   The  estimate  of excess
lifetime  cancer risk  is calculated  by multiplying the  chronic
(lifetime) daily intake  (GDI) by the cancer slope  factor  (SF).

EPA  policy  must   be   considered   in  order  to  interpret  the
significance of  the cancer risk estimates.  In the National Oil and
Hazardous Substances  Pollution  Contingency Plan  (NCP)  (40 CFR  §
300.430(e)(2)(i)(A)(2)), EPA states that:  "For known or suspected
carcinogens, acceptable exposure levels are generally concentration
levels that represent an  excess upper-bound lifetime cancer risk to
an  individual  of  between  10'4 and  10'6."    The  agency  further
discusses in  the preamble to the NCP  that  the  10"6 risk level .be
used as a point  of departure for establishing remediation goals for
the risks from  constituents  at  Superfund sites (Federal Register
Vol.55, No. 46,  8713).   Recent EPA guidance indicates that if the
estimated total  cancer risk based on maximum exposure conditions is
1 x  10'4  or less,  further action at  the site  is generally not

                                34

-------
warranted  unless  there are  adverse  environmental  impacts,  or
drinking water standards  [Maximum  Contaminant Levels  (MCLs)  or
Maximum Contaminant Level Goals  (MCLGs) ] are exceeded (40 CFR Parts
141 and 143; EPA, 1986a).

Noncarcinoaenic Risk

The potential for noncarcinogenic health effects, expressed as the
hazard quotient and hazard index, is calculated in a manner similar
to  the  carcinogenic risks.    The  hazard quotient  applies  to
individual chemicals, whereas the hazard index applies to the sum
of potential noncarcinogenic health  effects for all chemicals of
concern  in a  given exposure  scenario.   The  hazard  quotient is
calculated by dividing the daily intake by the reference dose.

Risk Characterization for Each Receptor
Carcinogenic  risks and noncarcinogenic   health   hazards  were
estimated for each  risk assessment scenario, exposure pathway and
chemical of concern using the chemical intake factors and exposure
point concentrations presented above.  Tabulated hazard indices and
cancer  risks  for  each  receptor  for  both the  average and  RME
exposure scenarios  are shown in Table 10.
Offsite Child Residents

Offsite child residents are assumed to live on properties adjacent
to the site.  These residents are assumed to live in the residences
for  9  and 20  years for  average and RME  scenarios.    The total
chronic hazard indices calculated for noncarcinogenic effects due
to soil ingestion and dermal exposure and to particulate inhalation
are 0.6 and 0.3 for  average and RME scenarios, respectively.  Both
hazard  indices are below 1.0,  which  indicates  that  no adverse
health effects are to  be anticipated  even to sensitive individuals
under RME  conditions.  The magnitude of the  hazard index  is due
primarily to the inorganics present at  the  site  (soil ingestion
pathway).   Organic  contaminants at  the site did  not contribute
significantly to the overall hazard index for this receptor.

The lifetime excess  cancer risk for the  off-site child resident is
3 x 10'5 and 4  x 10'5 for average and RME scenarios, respectively.
These levels,  which are the result of exposure by soil ingestion,
dermal exposure and  particulate inhalation, are within the 1 x 10'4
to 1 x 10"6 range considered acceptable  by EPA.

Offsite Adult Residents

Like the child residents, offsite adult residents reside in areas
adjacent to  the site.   Residence times are  9 and  30  years for
average and RME scenarios,  respectively.  The total chronic hazard
indices for all exposure pathways are 0.07  and  0.1 for average and
RME.  As was noted for the child residents, these values are well
below the 1.0 point of  departure recommended  by EPA (EPA, 1989a)
for protection  against  noncarcinogenic hazards.   Similarly, the
magnitude of the total  hazard  index is primarily associated with
inorganic site constituents.

The  cumulative excess  lifetime  cancer  risk  for offsite  adult
residents is  4 x 10"6 and 2 x 10'5  for average and  RME exposure
scenarios, respectively.  These .figures  are also well within the
acceptable range for excess lifetime cancer risk (EPA, 1989a).

Onsite Child Trespassers

Onsite child trespassers are assumed to trespass on the site for 12
and 52 days/year for average and  RME  scenarios, respectively.  The
total cumulative chronic hazard indices for this receptor were 0.02
and 0.04 for average and RME, both well below 1.0.  This indicates
that a noncarcinogenic health hazard to this receptor is unlikely.
The  soil  ingestion  pathway  constituted   the most significant
cumulative hazard  index for  this  receptor.   Again,  inorganics
contributed the most to the hazard index, not  site organics.

The cumulative excess lifetime cancer risks were also within the
acceptable range for this receptor (EPA, 1989a).  The average and
RME excess cancer risks were 1 x 10"6  and 4  x 10"6,  respectively.

Future Onsite Residents  (Adults and Children)

To be conservative, hypothetical future onsite adult and children
residents were  evaluated.   Total cumulative  hazard indices for
average RME exposures were 0.5 and  0.3  for children and 0.07 and
0.1  for  adults.     Excess  lifetime  cancer  risks  for  these
hypothetical receptors were calculated for average and RME exposure
scenarios as  4 x 10'5 and  5 x  10'5 for  children and 5  x  10'6 and
2 x 10"5 for adults. All hazard indices and excess lifetime cancer
risks for these receptors are within acceptable ranges.
                                37

-------
UNCERTAINTIES AND LIMITATIONS

EPA guidance for risk  assessment provides  a  systematic means for
organizing, analyzing,  and presenting information on the nature^ and
magnitude of potential risks to public health and the environment
from chemical exposures.  Despite the advanced state of the current
methodology, uncertainties and limitations are inherent  in the risk
assessment process.  Available data quality, incomplete information
about  existing  conditions and  future  circumstances,  as well  as
other factors discussed below contribute to these uncertainties and
limitations.   This  section  discusses  the  following  sources  of
uncertainties and limitations associated with this risk assessment:

Data Collection
Data used in the human health risk assessment were collected from
the site during phases  of the RI. The data collected durinr the RI
are subject to uncertainty associated with sampling and analysis.
Inorganics were included in the  risk assessment to be conservative
even though the concentrations were within background.

Due to the limits of analytical methodologies and  the complexity of
matrices for environmental samples,  some chemicals present in low
concentrations  in  samples  may  not  be detected,  leading to  a
possible  underestimation of  risk.    This  potential  source  of
uncertainty  is addressed during data  evaluation, as described
below.

Data Evaluation
In  compiling most  of  the data for  use in  the  risk assessment,
arithmetic means and 95 percentile upper confidence limits on the
mean  concentrations  of  chemicals detected   in  each  media  were
compiled.  In compiling data, one-half of the detection limit was
used  for those samples  which  contained chemical concentrations
below the detection limit.  This assumption is conservative and may
lead to  overestimation of risk, particularly for those chemicals
reported  with  low  frequencies and  low  concentrations.    The
arithmetic mean concentration was used in  evaluation  of average
exposures, an assumption which does not over or underestimate risk.
In estimating RME exposures, the 95th percentile UCL concentrations
were used, which results in overestimation of potential risks.

Exposure Assessment
The  exposure  assessment  is  based  on a  series  of  assumptions
concerning concentrations of chemicals to which humans  are exposed
(exposure point concentrations)  and patterns of behavior leading to
exposure or  intake of  chemicals  (exposure scenarios).
                                38

-------
Toxicitv Assessment
In general,  the available scientific information is insufficient to
provide  a  thorough  understanding  of  all the potential  toxic
properties of chemicals to which  humans are potentially exposed.
Consequently,  varying  degrees  of  uncertainty   surround  the
assessment  of adverse  health  effects  in exposed  populations.
Sources of uncertainty related directly to toxicity data include:

•     Use of  dose-response  data from experiments  on homogenous,
      sensitive   animal   populations   to   predict  effects   in
      heterogenous  human  populations  with   a wide   range  of
      sensitivities

•     Extrapolation of data from 1} high-dose animal studies to low
      dose human  exposures,  2) acute  or subchronic exposure  to
      chronic exposure, and 3) one exposure route to anothei- (e.g.,
      from ingestion to inhalation or dermal absorption)

•     Use of  single-chemical test data  that  do not account  for
      multiple exposures or synergistic and antagonistic responses

•     Absence of  generally  accepted toxicity  values for certain
      chemicals

•     Use of sensitive subpopulations, i.e., the very young and old
Impacts to the Environment:

A qualitative environmental evaluation was  performed at the site
based on the condition of the  site after the ERA.  This evaluation
was restricted to a review of the local ecology, potential exposure
pathways and the presence of any potential sensitive, endangered or
threatened species in the vicinity of the site.  According to the
U.  S.  Fish  and Wildlife  Service,  no  threatened or  endangered
species live in  the vicinity of the site.  Because of the proximity
of the site to Interstate 10 and a residential area and due to the
fact that the site is surrounded by fencing, the availability and
accessibility of potential biotic receptors to the site is reduced.
In general, the  fenced  site includes  several trees,  grassy areas
including areas  over clay caps  placed by  remediation activities
during the  ERA,  and areas covered by  shell.  Clay  caps  will be
monitored and maintained to ensure that cap integrity is retained.
Such maintenance will  prevent  tree  roots  and burrowing/digging
animals from disrupting the  integrity of the  clay cap  and will,
therefore,  limit the potential  for  exposure to  subsurface site
constituents.

                                39

-------
Chemical analyses of surface soils indicate concentrations of site-
related  organic  constituents to  be low.   Therefore,  potential
exposures of site-related organics via contact with surface soils
or surface  water run-off  (i.e.,  offsite ditches,  Grand  Goudine
Bayou)  to  biotic  receptors  is  expected to  be  insignificant.
Potential ground water to surface water exposures are expected to
be negligible. For example, during the ERA, water sampled between
the primary and secondary berms  around the ponds was shown to meet
discharge  standards.    This  surface  water,   in  contact  with
subsurface  soils and  shallow ground water, would  be  expected to
represent a worst case surface water contamination scenario.  Yet,
concentrations of site constituents met discharge criteria without
further treatment.   Therefore,  risk from potential exposures to
biota via ground water to surface water scenarios  is expected to be
negligible.  Because of the lack of significant indicator species
and exposure pathways, exposure of biota to  site constituents at
the site  is not  expected to result in any increased  risk to the
biota in the area of the site.

Remedial Action Objectives And Goals

Remedial action goals consist of'medium-specific or operable unit-
specific goals for protecting human health and the environment.

Remedial Action Objectives for Soils

The remedial action objectives for soils at the site are based on
human health risks and environmental protection as follows:

•     Prevent  ingestion/direct  contact  with  soil having  non-
      carcinogenic chemicals of  concern in excess of a hazard index
      of 1  (a hazard index less than 1 means that no adverse non-
      cancer health effects are expected),
•     Prevent ingestion/direct  contact  with  soils having greater
      than  l  x 10"4  (1 in  ten  thousand) to  1 x  10"6  (1  in one
      million) excess cancer risks from carcinogenic chemicals of
      concern,
•     Prevent  inhalation of  carcinogenic  chemicals of  concern
      posing  excess cancer  risks greater than 1 x  10"4  (1 in ten
      thousand) to 1 x 10*°  (1 in  one million).

The primary sources of contamination at the site were the holding
pond, the small waste oil pit,  and the aboveground  storage tanks.
These sources, together with soils with concentrations greater than
4 ppm benzene, were removed during the ERA.  The areas previously
occupied by the holding pond and waste pit were covered with an 18-
inch  compacted clay  cap.   The area previously occupied by the
vertical  storage tanks was covered with six  inches of compacted
clay fill.

                                40

-------
The risk assessment conducted as part of the RI evaluated potential
human  health  risks/hazards  and  environmental   effects  due  to
exposure to chemicals remaining at the site.  As presented  in Table
10, the  baseline risk  assessment  showed that all  excess cancer
risks  from the  RME are  less than  5 x  10'5  (5 in  one  hundred
thousand) and all hazard indices calculated for non-carcinogens are
below  1.   The calculated excess cancer risks and hazard indices
fall with EPA's acceptable risk range.

The National  Oil and Hazardous  Substances Pollution Contingency
Plan (40 CFR  §  300.430(e)(2)(i)(A)(2)  states that:  "For known or
suspected  carcinogens,  acceptable exposure  levels  are generally
concentration levels that represent an excess upper-bound lifetime
cancer risk to  an  individual of  between 10"4 and  10"6."   OSWER
Directive  3355.0-30  (EPA 1991)  states,   "Where the cumulative
carcinogenic site risk to an individual based on reasonable maximum
exposure for both current  and future land use is less than 10"*, and
the  non-carcinogenic hazard  quotient is  less   than 1,  action
generally is not warranted unless there are adverse environmental
impacts."

To evaluate whether  any chemical of  potential  concern for onsite
surface soils could exceed EPA's  acceptable excess lifetime cancer
risk  or   non-carcinogenic   risk,  a  comparative  analysis  was
performed.  The comparative analysis evaluated target remediation
goals  for  potential  chemicals  of  concern  in  onsite soils  for
residential  land use,  versus  the  concentrations of  onsite soil
contaminants  identified during the  RI.    The target remediation
goals were calculated in accordance with Risk Assessment Guidance
for Superfund:  Volume 1 - Human  Health Evaluation Manual, Part B:
Development  of  Risk-based  Remediation   Goals   (OSWER  Directive
9285.7-01B) for cancer risks of l x 10'4 and 1 x 10'6,  and a hazard
index of 1.   As presented in Table 11, the concentrations of the
chemicals of potential concern  for onsite surface  soils fall within
the target remediation goals calculated for EPA's  acceptable excess
cancer risk range of 1  x  10"4 to 1 x  10*6,  and are below the non-
carcinogenic hazard  index of 1.

Since the risks posed by exposure to surface soils at the site fall
within EPA's  acceptable risk range of 1 x  10'4 to 1 x 10'6, under
current and  no  action conditions,  there  is no need to establish
additional  numerical cleanup  standards  for soils.   Ecological
effects due  to  exposure to  site contaminants  were qualitatively
addressed  in  the RI  report and showed that potential for adverse
ecological impact was minimal.

Remedial Action Objectives for Ground Water

The remedial action objectives for ground water at the site are as
follows:

•     Prevent human exposure to contaminated water,
•     Prevent contamination  of the underlying  150-foot drinking
      water aquifer, and
•     Restore contaminated shallow  ground water,  based on  its
      classification, for future use.

Each of  these remedial action  objectives  is discussed  below in
terms of remedial actions at the site.

Prevent Exposure to Contaminated Ground Water

The contamination plumes identified at the  site are all located in
the  shallow  water-bearing unit  from 0 to 14 feet  below ground
surface.  This  shallow water-bearing unit is a  Class  III ground
water unit.   The shallow  aquifer does  not contain  any drinking
water wells and  does not support sufficient yield to  serve as a
drinking water  supply aquifer.   The  local drinking  water supply
aquifers are  150  feet or deeper below ground surface.   The risk
assessment completed in conjunction with the RI could not identify
a current or future path for the ground water in the shallow water-
bearing unit  to directly  impact  any potential  receptors or the
deeper underlying drinking water aquifers.

Prevent Contamination of Drinking Water Aquifer

Computer  ground  water modeling conducted during  the RI  showed
minimal hydraulic connectivity  between the shallow water-bearing
unit and the  deeper aquifer used for drinking water.   The  first
usable drinking water aquifer beneath the site  is  approximately 140
feet below the  contaminated  shallow-water  bearing unit, however,
the closest completed water wells are in water bearing intervals
greater than 200 feet.  The deeper water-bearing unit at the site
(30  feet  deep)  is  monitored  by  several wells  and has  shown no
contamination to  date.   Monitoring of these  deeper  wells should
detect any downward migration of contamination  from the shallow
zone long before it could potentially reach  the underlying drinking
water  aquifer,   thus providing  time to  take  measures  for  its
protection,  if necessary.
                                43

-------
Restore Contaminated Ground Water for Future Use

Although contamination in the shallow ground water is above Maximum
Contaminant Levels (MCLs) for several chemicals,  restoration of the
shallow water-bearing unit beneath the site  is not warranted since
the aquifer is not  identified  as  a  potential usable ground water
source.  This unit is a Class III ground water unit and will not be
used in the future for drinking water due to its low yield.

Remedial Action Goals

The risk  assessment associated with the RI  could not  identify a
pathway between the shallow water-bearing unit  and  any potential
receptor population.  Since no  pathway was identified, a numerical
health-based cleanup level based on  exposure can not be developed.
According to  the EPA  (OSWER  Directive 9283.1-2),   health-based
drinking water levels  are usually not appropriate for  Class III
ground water.  Environmental considerations and prevention of plume
expansion determine cleanup levels for Class III ground water.

Since exposure to surface and subsurface soils at the site are not
expected to result  in any  excess  risk/hazard to human health and
the environment under current and no action conditions, and since
no  current  or future exposure pathway was identified for the
contaminated  shallow  aquifer,  there  are  no numerical  cleanup
standards for soils or ground water.
VII. DESCRIPTION OF ALTERNATIVES

A Feasibility  Study (FS) was  conducted to develop  and evaluate
alternatives to meet the remedial action objectives for the site.
Remedial  alternatives  were  assembled  from applicable  remedial
technology  process  options  and were  initially  evaluated  for
effectiveness,  implementability,  and cost  based  on engineering
judgement.  The alternatives selected for detailed analysis were
evaluated and  compared to the  nine criteria required  by the NCP
(see  Section  VIII.  of  this ROD).   As a  part  of  the remedial
alternative evaluation process, the NCP requires that a no-action
alternative be considered at every site.  The no-action alternative
serves as a basis of comparison for the other alternatives.

Since the remedial action objectives for soils have been met, the
only alternatives presented are for the ground water contamination.

The ground water remedial alternatives developed for the two ground
water contamination plumes at the site include active restoration,

                                44

-------
passive restoration, and no  action  alternatives.   Several ground
water treatment technologies  have been combined to develop a series
of active restoration technologies.

Except for the "No Action" alternative, all of the alternatives
being  considered  for  the  site  include  the  following  common
elements:

     •    Institutional controls are considered in conjunction with
          every proposed remedy.  Institutional controls include
          actions that neither treat nor remove contaminants, but
          restrict contact with contaminants considered.   These
          actions  include  fencing  the  site,  maintaining  the
          existing cap, posting signs, deed notices, and land use
          restrictions. The  institutional  controls  would utilize
          some  existing resources.   Costs for the  institutional
          controls are included in the  monitoring costs for each
          alternative.  During the  semiannual inspections of the
          site, the fence will be inspected for holes, structural
          integrity, and/or  other damage.   Inadequate areas  of
          fencing will be repaired within one month of inspection.
          The fence inspection schedule should be reevaluated after
          five years.

     •    Site-use restrictions will be  implemented as part of all
          alternatives  to   prohibit  activities  such  as  soil
          excavation   and    construction   of  buildings   and/or
          installation of domestic water wells either at the site
          or on land adjacent to the site.

Alternative l:  No Action

     Present Worth (PW):      $28,808
     Implementation Time:      0 months

EPA is required by the NCP (40  CFR  Part 300)  to consider the "No
Action" alternative. No action assumes that nothing would be done
to restrict  site  access,  monitor ground water quality, maintain
site  cap and fence,  or   install new  monitoring  wells.    This
alternative also assumes that no offsite or onsite monitoring would
be performed.   No action  would be taken to  prevent migration of
contaminated ground water at the site.  The only costs associated
with this alternative  are the preparation of Five-Year Reports.
This  alternative  will not provide  overall  protection  of human
health and the environment; long-term or short-term effectiveness;
or, reduce toxicity,  mobility or volume  of  hazardous substances
and, therefore, it is not favored by EPA.

                                45

-------
Alternative 2:  Natural Attenuation - EPA's SELECTED REMEDY

     PW:                      $760,197
     Implementation Time:     Indefinite

Natural attenuation relies on the ground water's natural ability to
lower the contaminant concentrations  over  time  through physical,
chemical, and biological processes.   In this alternative,  ground
water will be monitored  to determine if current conditions improve
through time, remain constant, or worsen. To  accurately assess the
ground  water conditions, additional  monitoring  wells would  be
installed both  onsite  and  offsite,  and ground  water would  be
monitored in both the onsite and offsite wells.

If ground water monitoring  indicates an increase in contaminant
concentrations  (either  vertically or horizontally),  contingency
measures (which include active treatment)  will  be implemented at
the site.  The contingency measures are described  in Section IX of
the Record of Decision.

Institutional  controls  in  the  form  of  access  restrictions,
installation of signs, restrictions on future use  of the property,
fencing and deed notices and/or restrictions on the use of ground
water from site water wells will be implemented.   In addition, the
existing cap and  fence will  continue  to  be  maintained.   One
residential well on the Watt's property will be closed out and a
replacement well drilled.  An agreement to close out the well on
the Watt's property was  reached by EPA and the responsible parties
following completion of the feasibility study, therefore, the costs
associated with closing out the residential well and the drilling
of  a replacement  well are  not  included  in  the cost  estimate
presented above.   It  is believed that  the costs associated with
these activities will not substantially change the PW cost of this
alternative.

EPA's evaluation of the site specific data indicates that active
treatment of  the ground water contamination is  not warranted at
this  time.   Active treatment  is not warranted because   1)  the
contaminated ground water is a Class III aquifer, and 2) the ground
water modeling  data showed  that the ground water contaminants
should  never reach the  150-foot drinking  aquifer and  that the
concentrations of benzene, ethylbenzene and styrene would be below
MCLs  by the time they  migrated to 28 feet below ground surface.
However, EPA believes  it is prudent  to monitor  ground  water to
ensure  that  any  exposure   pathway  is not completed  or  that
contaminated  ground water  does  not  migrate  to the underlying
drinking water aquifer.

                                46

-------
In this  alternative the monitoring  wells  that are  currently in
place around both the former holding pond and waste oil pit would
be used  to monitor  the  status of the  two ground water plumes.
Ground water monitoring would occur quarterly for the first year,
semiannually  for  the next  four years,  and annually  thereafter
unless  circumstances  warrant  more  frequent  sampling.    This
monitoring program  will  detect any  movement of  the contaminant
plumes before any exposure pathway could be completed.  The ground
water monitoring would monitor both vertical and horizontal extent
of the two ground water plumes.

Alternative 3:  In-Situ Biological Treatment

     PW:                       $16,764,211
     Implementation Time:     Unknown

Rather than recover contaminated ground water for treatment in an
above ground system, in-situ biological treatment would be used to
treat the ground water in-place in the  shallow aquifer.   In this
alternative,   a  slurry of a  mixture  of oxygen  sources,  nutrient
sources and  microbes would  be  injected under pressure  into the
areas of  contamination.   An  initial treatment would be applied and
a second treatment would be made after three years if necessary.
The progress  of the remediation would be monitored by collecting
ground water  samples from the monitoring wells.  The increase in
biodegradation rates  is  dependent on the site  conditions and may
require pilot testing. Low  permeability soils such as those found
in the shallow  water-bearing zone at the site  could inhibit the
hydraulic transport of the microbes,  oxygen and nutrients required
to degrade the contaminants.

This alternative would reduce the potential for further migration
of contaminants from  the shallow aquifer,  and  no waste treatment
residuals will be generated.  Although this  alternative is a viable
and feasible alternative, for the reasons discussed above, active
remediation is not warranted at this time.

Alternative 4A
Ground Water  Extraction,  Activated Carbon  Treatment, and Surface
Water Discharge:

     PW:                  $3,383,907
     Years to Implement:  Unknown

The extraction technology associated with this alternative is the
use of the french drain located in the area  of the  former waste pit
and the installation of three french  drains around the area of the

                                47

-------
former holding pond.  The three  french  drains  would be installed
parallel to and just inside the  property  boundaries in the areas
where ground water  data indicate there may be ground  water with
levels of contaminants above the MCLs.  By locating the drains at
the property boundaries, the drains will prevent further migration
of  contaminants  offsite  while  simultaneously  recovering  the
existing portion of  the plume which has already migrated beyond the
site boundaries. Pulsed pumping which is a variation of continuous
pumping could be used to pump  the french  drains.   Pulsed pumping
involves cycling  of the ground  water extraction  system through
alternating "active" and "resting" phases.

To  ensure  that adequate  remediation  of  the ground  water  is
occurring, monitoring of the contamination plume will take place.
Monitoring would consist of quarterly sampling for the first year,
semiannual sampling for the next four years, and annual sampling
thereafter of  all  wells in each contamination plume and  on the
perimeter of each plume.

Activated carbon adsorption has been  used  successfully at the site
to treat  contaminated  ground water.   The carbon units  would be
rented and the spent carbon returned for regeneration.   Following
treatment of the ground water it  will be stored onsite for testing
prior to surface water  discharge  to the  1-10 drainage ditch.  This
surface water discharge point was used successfully during the ERA.
The ARARs  presented in Table  12 which pertain to  discharges to
surface would be met under this alternative.

Alternative 4B
Ground Water Extraction, Air Stripping for Treatment, and Surface
Water Discharge:

     PW:                 $2,604,324'
     Years to Implement: Unknown

The ground water extraction technology described under Alternative
4A would  also be implemented  under this alternative  to recover
ground water.  Under this alternative, air stripping would be used
to remove  the  organic  compounds from the ground  water.   The air
stripper unit would emit volatile organic compounds and may require
treatment  (e.g. carbon adsorption) to meet air  emission standards.
The ARARs  presented in  Table  12 which pertain  to air  stripping
would be  met under this alternative.  The  treated ground water
would be  discharged to  the  1-10 drainage ditch  as described in
Alternative 4A.

To  ensure  that adequate  remediation  of  the  ground  water is
                                     i
                                48

-------
occurring, monitoring of the contamination plume will take place.
Monitoring would consist of quarterly sampling for the first year,
semiannual sampling for the next  four years, and annual sampling
thereafter of  all wells in each  contamination  plume and  on the
perimeter of each plume.

Alternative 4C
Ground Water Extraction and Deep Well injection:

     PW:                 $6,670,097
     Years to Implement: Unknown

The ground water extraction technology described under Alternative
4A would  also be  implemented  under this alternative to  recover
ground water.  Under this  alternative the recovered ground water
would be held onsite in above ground storage tanks and then trucked
to a local commercial deep well for injection.  Deep well injection
was utilized  at  the  site to dispose of water collected from the
french drain.   The ARARs presented in Table 12  which pertain to
underground injection would be met under this alternative.

To  ensure that  adequate  remediation  of the   ground  water  is
occurring, monitoring of the contamination plume will take place.
Monitoring would consist of quarterly sampling for the first year,
semiannual sampling for the next  four years, and annual sampling
thereafter of  all wells in each  contamination  plume and  on the
perimeter of each plume.

Alternative 4D
Ground Water  Extraction/ Biological Water Treatment,  and Surface
Water Discharge:

     PW:                 $3,861,599
     Years to Implement: Unknown

The ground water extraction technology described under Alternative
4A would  also be  implemented  under this alternative to recover
ground water.  Under this alternative, recovered  ground water would
be treated onsite using either aeration lagoons or a packaged waste
water treatment  plant  such as a  sequencing batch reactor.  Both
systems supply additional  dissolved oxygen  to  support microbes
which biodegrade the  organic compounds present  in  the recovered
ground water.

Following treatment of the ground water by biological treatment, it
will be stored onsite for testing  prior to surface water discharge
to the 1-10 drainage ditch.  To ensure that adequate remediation of

                                49

-------
the ground  water is  occurring,  monitoring of the  contamination
plume will  take place.   Monitoring would consist of  quarterly
sampling for the first year, semiannual sampling for the next four
years,  and  annual  sampling  thereafter  of  all  wells  in  each
contamination plume and on the perimeter of each plume.

VIII. SUMMARY OF THE COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVES

The EPA uses nine criteria to evaluate alternatives for addressing
a Superfund site.  These nine criteria are categorized into three
groups: threshold, primary balancing, and modifying.  The threshold
criteria must be met in order for an alternative to be eligible for
selection.  The primary balancing criteria  are Used to weigh major
tradeoffs among  alternatives.   The modifying criteria  are taken
into  account after  state and public  comment is received  on the
Proposed Plan of Action.                                 ,
NINE EVALUATION CRITERIA

The nine criteria used in evaluating all of the alternatives are as
follows:
                        Threshold Criteria

Overall Protection  of  Human  Health and the Environment addresses
the way in which an alternative would reduce,  eliminate, or control
the risks  posed by  the site  to human health and the environment.
The methods used  to achieve  an adequate level of protection vary
but  nay  include  treatment  and  engineering  controls.    Total
elimination of  risk is often impossible  to  achieve.   However, a
remedy must  minimize risks  to  assure that human  health  and the
environment are protected.

Compliance with ARARsf or "applicable or  relevant and appropriate
requirements,"  assures that  an alternative will meet all related
federal, state, and  local requirements.
                    Primary Balancing Criteria

Long-term Effectiveness and Permanence addresses the ability of an
alternative  to reliably  provide long-term  protection for  human
health and the environment after the remediation goals have been
accomplished.
                                50

-------
Reduction of Toxicity. Mobility,  or Volume of Contaminants through
Treatment assesses how effectively an alternative will address the
contamination on a site.  Factors considered include the nature of
the treatment process; the amount of  hazardous materials that will
be destroyed by the treatment process; how effectively the process
reduces the toxicity,  mobility,  or volume  of  waste;  and the type
and quantity of contamination that will remain after treatment.

Short-term Effectiveness  addresses the time it  takes  for remedy
implementation.    Remedies  often  require   several   years  for
implementation.  A potential remedy is evaluated  for the length of
time required for implementation  and  the potential impact on human
health and the environment during implementation.

Imp1ementabi1itv addresses the ease with which an alternative can
be accomplished.   Factors such as availability  of materials and
services are considered.

Cost (including capital costs and projected long-term operation and
maintenance costs) is considered and compared to the benefit that
will result from implementing'the alternative.
                        Modifying  Criteria

State Acceptance allows the State to review the proposed plan and
offer comments to the EPA.   A  State may agree with, oppose or have
no comment on the proposed remedy.

Community  Acceptance  allows  for  a  public comment  period  for
interested persons  or organizations  to  comment on the proposed
remedy.  EPA considers  these  comments in making its final remedy
selection.   The  comments  are  addressed  in the  responsiveness
summary which is part of this ROD.


SUMMARY OF THE COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVES

The comparative analysis  was  conducted to  evaluate the relative
performance  of   each   alternative,   compared   to  the   other
alternatives, in relation to each  specific evaluation criterion.

Protection of Human Health and the Environment

Each of the ground water alternatives, other than the "No Action"
alternative,  will  provide some degree  of  overall protection to


                               51

-------
human health and the environment.  The manner in which each of the
alternatives protects human health and the environment varies.

Alternative 1 does not achieve the remedial action objectives and
does not provide protection to  human health and the environment.
Although contaminant concentrations  should naturally decrease over
time,  Alternative  1 does  not  provide for monitoring  of  the
contaminant  plumes  to  ensure  that the  plumes  do not  migrate
laterally or vertically.

Alternative 2 provides greater overall protection of human health
and  the  environment  through  implementation  of  institutional
controls, natural  attenuation of  the ground water contamination,
ground  water  monitoring  to  detect  any  movement  of  the  two
contaminant plumes  (both vertically and horizontally)  that would
complete an exposure pathway.   In addition, contingency measures,
which are described in Section IX of the ROD,  are to be implemented
if ground water monitoring indicates an increase in contaminant
concentrations.    The cap  installed  during  the  ERA will  also
continue to be maintained.

The  in-situ biological  treatment  (Alternative   3),  which is  a
relatively   new   technology   for  in-situ  bioremediation   of
contaminated shallow aquifers, is expected to be more protective of
human health and  the environment since active  treatment  will be
used to  reduce the  concentration  of  contaminants in  the ground
water.

The four ground water recovery alternatives  (Alternatives  4A - 4D)
utilize  proven active treatment technologies  to  prevent further
migration of the contaminant plumes, thus minimizing the potential
for  establishing  an exposure pathway which  might endanger human
health and the environment.

Restoration of the contaminated ground water at  the site is not
warranted at this time since the aquifer is a Class III aquifer and
will not be used as  a future source of drinking water.

Compliance with Applicable  Relevant and Appropriate  Requirements
(ARARs)

All  alternatives   can meet the  requirement for  compliance with
chemical-specific,  action  specific, and location-specific ARARs.

                                52

-------
The ARARs  for the  alternatives  may be  found in Table  12.  This
discussion  compares  each  of  the  alternatives  to  the  three
categories of ARARs and addresses whether the alternatives comply
with ARARs.

Chemical Specific ARARs
NPDES, Federal, and State water quality requirements may be ARARs
for the discharge of extracted, treated ground water.  Alternatives
4A, 4B,  and 4D  incorporated  active collection and  treatment of
ground water, thus it most likely would meet all chemical specific
ARARs.  The remaining alternatives do not include remedial actions
that discharge treated ground water to surface water,  therefore,
chemical specific ARARs do not apply.   Since the ground water in
the contaminated shallow aquifer is considered a Class III aquifer,
remediation to MCLs is not required.  For this reason, there are no
chemical  specific  ARARs  that  are  applicable or   relevant  and
appropriate for the site.

Action-specific ARARs
Actionrspecific  ARARs potentially  apply  to discharge  of  ground
water to surface water, underground injection of contaminated or
treated ground water,  excavation  and construction of French drains
around the  former  holding pond to  recover ground water,  and air
stripping.

Alternatives  4A,  4B, and 4D are  expected  to meet the  action-.
specific ARARs for  discharge  of  ground water  to  a  surface water
body under an NPDES  permit.  Alternative 4C is expected to meet the
action-specific ARARs for  underground injection of contaminated or
treated ground water.

Alternative  4B  is  expected  to  meet  the action-specific  ARARs
(NESHAP standards for emissions of benzene from air strippers) for
air stripping. Alternative 4C is expected to meet the Federal Safe
Drinking Water Act requirements for underground injection.

Location-specific ARARs
There  are  no location-specific  ARARs  that  are  applicable  or
relevant and appropriate for the site.

Long-Term Effectiveness and Permanence

The goals for all of the remedial  alternatives are'to  prevent human
exposure  to  contaminated  shallow  ground  water   and  prevent
contamination of the underlying "150-foot" drinking water aquifer.
Alternative  2 meets  the  goals  through natural  attenuation and
should be as  effective  in the long term  as  the  active treatment
alternatives since natural attenuation

will result in the lowering of contaminants of concern to the same
levels as would be achieved with active ground water treatment.  In
addition,  the preferred  alternative  provides  that  contingency
measures be implemented if contaminant concentrations or extent of
contamination increase over time.

Alternative 1 is  considered to be  effective  in  meeting the goals
for  long-term  effectiveness  and  permanence  if  current  site
conditions remain constant or improve over time, however, it does
not provide a means to determine  if conditions worsen.   If the
concentration  or  areal extent  of  contaminants in ground water
increases over time, Alternative 1 is less able to meet the goals
of long-term effectiveness and permanence than Alternative 2, since
Alternative 2  provides for contingency measures to be implemented,
if contaminant concentrations or  areal extent increase over time.

Alternatives  4A,  4B,  and 4D meet  the  criterion for  long-term
effectiveness and permanence  since all of the  alternatives will
actively treat the waste to reduce the contaminant concentration.
The long-term effectiveness of Alternatives 4A,  4B, and 4D would be
dependent on the effectiveness of the extraction system to be able
to remove the contaminated  ground  water  and  the effectiveness of
the treatment systems to remove the contaminants. Alternatives'4A,
4B, 4C, and 4D will reduce the concentration of contaminants in the
ground water more rapidly than Alternatives 1,  2, or 3 since they
involve physical removal of the contaminants.

Alternative 3 meets the criterion for long-term effectiveness and
permanence since the goal of this procedure is to biotreat all of
the contaminants  of  concern  in the shallow ground water aquifer.
The long-term effectiveness of Alternative 3 would be dependent on
the .effectiveness of  the in-situ  biotreatment in lowering the
contaminant concentrations.

Reduction of Toxicity, Mobility and Volume Through Treatment

While  Alternative 2  does not  provide  for  active treatment of
contaminated ground  water for reduction  in toxicity,  mobility or
volume, it will ultimately result in a reduced volume, toxicity and
mobility  of waste  at the  site  through  natural biodegradation.
Monitoring will detect any movement  of the waste volume laterally
or vertically.  If monitoring indicates any movement of the waste
volume, a contingency plan (described below) will be implemented so
that  there is not  an increase  in  risk  to  human health  or the
environment.
                                58

-------
Alternatives 3, 4A, 4B, and 4D include active treatment to reduce
toxicity, mobility or volume.  Alternative 4C simply relocates the
waste, thus reducing its mobility, but not its toxicity or volume.
Alternative 1 does not provide reduction in toxicity, mobility or
volume because there is no active treatment.

Short Term Effectiveness

When evaluating short term effectiveness, the focus is on the risk
to workers and the risk to the community during the implementation
of the  remedy.   Risks  to the community during  construction and
operation of any of the remedial alternatives would be negligible.
Risks to the community during  implementation  of  the alternatives
include potential emission of contaminants during treatment.

The   natural   attenuation  (Alternative   2)   and   "No   Action"
(Alternative 1)  alternatives present a clear advantage with respect
to short-term effectiveness since  they have little  or no onsite
activity which could increase risk to workers and the community

The  ground water  recovery (Alternatives  4A  -  4D)  and  in-situ
biological treatment  (Alternative  3)  alternatives do  contain an
incremental element of risk due to such possibilities as spills of
contaminated ground water or chemicals necessary for treatment, air
emissions, and transportation accidents.

With respect to the speed with which a remedy achieves protection,
active ground water recovery should reach the remedial objectives
sooner than natural attenuation  alone since the active  recovery
methods  can  be  adjusted  to  control the  rate  of   ground  water
recovered.    Increasing  the  ground  water  recovery  rate  will
generally  decrease  the  length,  of  time  required  to  achieve
remediation  goals.     However,  active  ground   water  recovery
alternatives must still  be  considered  long-term solutions (30
years) because of the low conductivity soils at the site.

Implementability

The "No Action"  alterative (Alternative 1) and natural attenuation
alternative  (Alternative  2)  are  the most readily implemented
options.  The installation of additional monitoring wells, closeout
of one residential well,  and replacement of the  residential well
are   easily  implemented.    Alternative  1,  the   "No   Action"
alternative,   does  not  include  further  actions at  the  site.
Although  Alternative  3  is  implementable,  it   is  an  untested
technique which results in a number of unknowns which  increases the
difficulty in implementing this option.

                               59

-------
Due to the low conductivity soils found at the  site, the technical
practicality  of pump  and treat  technology  (Alternative 4)  is
questionable.

Cost

The  estimated costs  for the  remedial  alternatives range  from
$28,808  for  the  No  Action  Alternative   (Alternative  1)   to
$16,764,211  for  the  In-Situ  Biological  Treatment  alternative
(Alternative 3). The natural attenuation alternative (Alternative
2) has an estimated cost of $760,197.

State Agency Acceptance

The Louisiana Department  of Environmental Quality concurs with the
selection of  Alternative 2  as  the preferred remedy  for the site
(see Appendix #3).   No comments regarding the other alternatives
were provided.

Community Acceptance

EPA  solicited  input  from,  the  community  on  the  remediation
alternatives  proposed  to the  ground water  contamination  at  the
site.  The  comments  received from the public,  indicate that  the
community  is  supportive  of  the proposed remedy.    All comments
received during the public comment period and the EPA responses are
in the attached Responsiveness Summary.

IX. THE SELECTED REMEDY

Based  on  consideration  of  the  requirements  of  CERCLA,  the
comparative analysis of alternatives, and public comments, the EPA
has determined that Alternative 2 (Natural Attenuation) will best
provide  a remedy  that  is  protective  of human  health  and  the
environment.

As discussed in Section IV of this ROD, the remedial objectives for
the site are:

•    Prevent human exposure to contaminated water,

•    Prevent  contamination  of  the  underlying  150-foot drinking
     water aquifer, and

•    Restore  contaminated shallow   ground  water,  based  on  its
     classification, for  future use.
                                60

-------
The selected remedy (Alternative 2) will meet these objectives by:

•    Monitoring ground water  to  determine if  current conditions
     improve  through time,  remain constant,  or worsen.    This
     includes  installation and  monitoring  of both  onsite  and
     adjacent private wells;

•    Implementing  contingency measures  (which  include  active
     treatment)  at  the   site if  the  ground  water  monitoring
     indicates an  increase  in contaminant  concentrations (either
     vertically or horizontally).   The contingency measures are
     described later in this section of the ROD.

•    Implementing  institutional controls  in the  form of  access
     restrictions, including installation of signs, restrictions on
     future use of the property,  fencing,  and deed notices  and/or
     restrictions on use  of ground water from site water wells;

•    Installing additional monitoring wells to  provide additional
     data on plume movement towards any drinking water wells and/or
     beneath 1-10;

•    Maintaining the existing cap and fence;  and

•    Closing out the residential well  on the Watt's property and
     drilling of a replacement well.   An  agreement to close out
     the well  on  the Watt's property was reached by  EPA and the
     responsible parties  following completion  of  the  feasibility
     study, therefore, the  costs associated with  closing out the
     residential well and the drilling of  a replacement  well are
     not included  in the cost estimate presented above.   It is
     believed that the costs associated with these activities will
     not substantially change the PW cost of this alternative.

Since the  remedial action  objectives  are  met  through the above
actions, the long-term effectiveness and permanence of the selected
remedy is expected to be excellent.  There are  not expected to be
any unmanageable short-term risks associated with this remedy, and
this remedy complies with all  ARARs.  The selected remedy utilizes
permanent solutions and alternative treatment technologies to the
maximum extent practicable, and will be cost effective.  However,
because treatment of the  contaminated shallow ground water was not
found to be warranted at  this time, this  remedy does  not satisfy
the statutory preference  for  treatment as  a  principal element of
the remedy.  Also, the selected remedy  does not call for treatment
of  contaminated soils,  because  soil  remediation was  addressed
during the ERA, and  the risk  assessment conducted as  part  of the

                               61

-------
RI/FS, did not show a need  for  additional  soils  remediation.   In
addition, both the public and State  have  indicated acceptance of
the selected remedy.  Therefore, the selected remedy provides the
best balance among alternatives with respect to the criteria used
to evaluate remedies.

Because the  selected  remedy will result in  hazardous substances
remaining onsite above health based levels (in the shallow ground
water),  a review will  be  conducted  within five  years  after
commencement of remedial action to ensure that the remedy continues
to provide adequate protection of human health and the environment.

The  primary  balancing   criteria  that  weighed  heaviest  and
contributed most to the selection of Alternative 2 over the other
evaluated  alternatives  were  the  long-term  effectiveness  and
permanence criteria and  cost  criteria.    All  of the  r .'oposed
alternatives, with  the  exception of  No Action,  could provide a
significant and adequate degree of reduction of toxicity, mobility,
or volume as  well as short-term effectiveness and implementability.
Alternative 2 meets  the remedial action objectives through natural
attenuation  and  should  be as effective in the long  term as the
active treatment  alternatives since natural attenuation will result
in the lowering  of contaminants of concern to the same levels as
would  be achieved   with  active  ground   water   treatment  in
approximately  the  same  time  frame.  Since  the  ground  water
contamination is  in a Class III  aquifer,  natural  attenuation is
acceptable when  ground  water restoration  is not  warranted.   In
addition, the selected remedy requires the  close out of the Watt's
well, which  is  the  closest pathway  to the  "150-foot"  aquifer.
Finally, the  selected  remedy provides  that contingency measures be
implemented   if   contaminant   concentrations,   or  extent   of
contamination increase over time.  While  the natural attenuation
remedy provides  a similar degree  of  long-term effectiveness when
compared  to  the  other  alternatives,  the  estimated cost  of the
natural   attenuation   alternative,    which    is   $760,000,   is
significantly  lower than the estimated $2,220,000 - $16,000,000
costs associated with the other alternatives.

A more  detailed  description of the selected remedy  follows.   It
should  be noted  that certain engineering considerations of the
remedy may change  during the remedial design.

Monitoring wells near the Waste  Pit/Tank Area contamination plume,
and the  french drain,  will be  tested for benzene, ethylbenzene,
toluene and xylene.   In addition to sampling the monitoring wells,
water level readings will be collected from piezometers P-l and P-2
near the waste pit.  The monitoring will be quarterly for  the first

                                62

-------
year, semiannually for the next four years and annually thereafter.
The existing french drain will  be maintained  for possible future
activation in the event monitoring shows that natural attenuation
is not adequate.

Monitor wells near the Holding Pond contamination plume will also
be tested for  benzene,  ethylbenzene,  toluene  and xylene.   The
monitoring will also be  quarterly for the first year, semiannually
for the next  four years and annually thereafter.   An additional
monitoring well is recommended near the edge of  the  plume near
Interstate 10.  This  well is needed in  order  to monitor possible
plume migration beneath the Interstate.

In addition,  the two Ascension  Parish  School Board  wells (DOTD
Wells 179 and 427), located  at the Dutchtown Middle School, should
be included in the monitoring program.

The monitoring program will  detect any movement of the contaminant
plumes before any complete exposure pathway could be formed.  The
ground water monitoring  would monitor both vertical and horizontal
extent of the two ground water'plumes.

Contingency measures:

The remedial action objectives  are to prevent human  exposure to
contaminated ground water, prevent contamination of the underlying
150-foot drinking water  aquifer,  and restoration of contaminated
shallow ground water,  based  on its classification, for future use.
Since exposure to surface and subsurface soils at the site are not
expected to result in any excess risk/hazard  to human health and
the environment under current and no action conditions, and since
no current or  future exposure  pathway was  identified  for  the
contaminated  shallow  aquifer,  there  are  no  numerical  cleanup
standards for ground water.   The area of attainment is defined as
the entire area of the two plumes as defined by the existing
monitor wells.  The two  plumes are shown on Figure  4.  The area of
attainment will be applied throughout  the  depth  of  the shallow
water-bearing unit (e.g. 0-14  feet).  Based on the information
obtained during the remedial investigation,  the feasibility study
and analysis of the seven remedial alternatives, EPA believes that
the  alternative   selected  will  achieve  the  remedial  action
objectives.     Ground water  contamination   may  be  especially
persistent in the immediate vicinity of the former sources  (holding
pond,  waste  pit,  storage tanks),  where   concentrations  are
relatively high.  The ability to achieve cleanup goals throughout
the area  of attainment  cannot  be determined until  the selected
remedial action has been implemented, and plume response monitored

                                63

-------
over time.  If the selected remedy cannot meet the remedial action
objectives,  at  any  or  all  of  the  monitoring  points  during
implementation,  contingency measures and  goals  may replace  the
selected  remedy  and goals.    These  contingency measures  will be
protective of human health and the environment, and are technically
practicable under the corresponding circumstances.

To determine  if  contingency measures are  necessary,  the selected
alternative provides  for ground water monitoring to  determine if
natural attenuation is working to reduce  the contamination level in
the ground water plumes, and to monitor whether the contamination
has migrated vertically or horizontally.  If during the monitoring
of the  shallow ground water  (both vertically  and  horizontally),
contaminant  concentrations  increase  30 percent in  any of  the
onsite  or offsite monitoring  wells,  the  well  which  showed  the
increase  in  concentration  will be  resampled.    If the  second
analysis  confirms  that there has been  a  30 percent  increase in
contaminant concentration, EPA may require implementation of any or
all of the following actions:

     •    Installation of additional monitoring wells to determine
          if the contamination is increasing  in  concentration or
          migrating.

     •    Increasing  the  frequency  of  sampling to assure that a
          complete exposure pathway does not develop.

     •    Construction of a containment measure  such as a slurry
          wall.

     •    Implementation  of  a remedial  action for  treatment of
          contaminated ground water which could include extraction
          of contaminated ground water or in-situ treatment.  The
          remedial action could  include any of  the  alternatives
          described   in  this  Record   of  Decision   or  other
          alternatives not yet discussed.
X. STATUTORY DETERMINATIONS

EPA's  primary responsibility  at  Superfund sites  is  to select
remedial  actions that  are protective  of  human health  and the
environment.  Section 121 of CERCLA also requires that the  selected
remedial action for the site comply with applicable or relevant and
appropriate environmental standards established under Federal and
State environmental laws, unless a waiver is granted.  The  selected
remedy  must  also, be  cost effective and  utilize  treatment  or

                                64

-------
resource recovery technologies to the maximum extent practicable.
The statute also contains a  preference  for remedies that include
treatment as a principal element.  The following sections discuss
how  the  selected  remedy  for  the  site  meets  the  statutory
requirements.

Protection of Human Health and the Environment

The selected remedy protects human health and the environment by
reducing levels of  contaminants through  natural  attenuation and
monitoring.  Of all the alternatives evaluated for the contaminated
media at the site, the selected remedy provides the best, most cost
effective  protection  human health   and   the environment.    No
unacceptable short-term risks will be caused by implementing this
remedy.

In  order  to  protect  human health  and the  environment,  the
contaminated ground water will  be monitored quarterly during the
first year, semiannually during the next four years, and annually
thereafter.   If  the ground  water  monitoring  indicates  that the
contamination plume is expanding either vertically or horizontally,
a contingency plan may  be implemented.   In addition,  the closest
residential well, which presents a possible exposure  pathway to the
150-foot aquifer,  will be closed out.

Compliance With ARARs

Since  the  ground water in  the  contaminated shallow  aquifer is
considered  a  Class  III  aquifer,  remediation to  .MCLs  is  not
required.  In addition,  since ground water will not be treated and
discharged to  surface  water,  the NPDES,  Federal  and  State water
quality requirements do not apply for the selected remedy.  There
are no location-specific ARARs that are  applicable or relevant and
appropriate for the site.

The State  of Louisiana's Title 33 Part  V  (Hazardous  Waste and
Hazardous Materials Subpart 1, Department of Environmental Quality-
Hazardous Waste Chapter 33.  Ground Water Protection)  establishes
regulations  dealing  with the  monitoring,  control,  remediation,
concentration, well  installation,  well abandonment,  plugging of
borings, point of  compliance,  and other  requirements concerning
hazardous constituents  in ground water.

Cost Effectiveness

EPA  believes  that  the selected  remedy  is  cost  effective in
preventing  human  exposure  to  contaminate  ground  water  and

                                65

-------
preventing contamination of the underlying 150-foot drinking water
aquifer.   Section 300.430(f)(ii)(D) of  the  NCP requires  EPA to
determine cost effectiveness by evaluating the following three of
the five  balancing criteria to  determine  overall  effectiveness:
long-term  effectiveness and permanence,  reduction of  toxicity,
mobility or volume through treatment/ and short-term effectiveness.
Overall effectiveness is then compared to cost to ensure that the
remedy is cost effective.

The  estimated present  worth cost  for  the  selected remedy  is
$760,000.  This alternative costs almost $1,500,000 less than the
least  expensive  ground water  extraction alternative,  yet  the
selected remedy is as effective and protective of human health and
the environment.
Utilization  of  Permanent  Solutions  and  Treatment  or  Resource
Recovery Technologies to the Maximum Extent Practicable

EPA believes the selected remedy represents the maximum extent to
which   permanent  solutions   and  treatment/resource   recovery
technologies can be  utilized in a cost  effective manner for the
site.

Of those alternatives that are protective of human health and the
environment, and comply with ARARs,  EPA has  determined  that the
selected remedy provides the best balance of trade-offs in terms of
long-term  effectiveness and  permanence,  reduction  in  toxicity,
mobility,  or   volume   achieved  through  treatment,  short-term
effectiveness,  implementability,  costs,  the statutory preference
for treatment as a principal element,  and taking into consideration
State and community acceptance.
Preference for Treatment as a Principal Element

Treatment  of  the contaminated ground  water was not  found to be
required  or warranted  at this  time  based on  the contaminated
aquifer's classification as a Class III aquifer, and the lack of an
exposure pathway between the aquifer  and  any potential receptor
population.  Although treatment  of  ground water contamination is
not warranted at this time, the remedial action for this site does
meet the statutory preference for treatment as a principal  element
of the remedy.   To address the source of contamination and remove
the  principal threat  to  human  health  and the  environment,  an
expedited response action (EPA) was conducted at the site.   The ERA
included  offsite  incineration  of wastes   from  several sources,

                                66'

-------
treatment  of  stormwater,  and  treatment  of contaminated  soils
associated with the sources.

Because  the   selected   alternative   will  result  in  hazardous
substances remaining  onsite above health based  levels,  a review
will be  conducted within  five years  after commencement of  the
remedial action  to ensure that  the  remedy  continues  to provide
adequate protection of human health and the environment.

XI. DOCUMENTATION OF SIGNIFICANT CHANGES

The Proposed Plan was  released for public  comment in October 1993.
The Proposed  Plan identified Alternative 2,  natural attenuation
with monitoring as the preferred  alternative for the  site.   EPA
reviewed all  written and  verbal comments  submitted  during  the
public  comment  period.     Upon   review   of  these  comments,   no
significant changes to the  remedy, as originally identified in the
proposed plan, were necessary.

RESPONSIVENESS SUMMARY

-------
                     RESPONSIVENESS  SUMMARY
The Responsiveness  Summary has been prepared to  provide written
responses to  comments submitted  regarding  the Proposed  Plan of
Action at the site.  The summary is divided into two sections.

Section I:  Background of Community Involvement and Concerns.  This
section provides a brief history of community interest and concerns
raised during the remedial planning activities at the site.

Section II:   Summary of Manor Comments Received.   The comments
(both  oral  and  written)   are summarized  and  EPA's  responses
provided.
J.   Background of Comip""T*y Involvement and Concerns

Interest in the  site  has been moderate due in part  to the close
proximity of the site to area residents.  Following completion of
the Expedited Response Action in 1991, public interest in the site
has not been as great.

The RI/FS Reports and Proposed Plan for the site were released to
the Public on October  15,  1993.   The documents were made available
to the public in the  Administrative Record File  in the following
information  repositories:   Ascension  Parish  Library,  Gonzales
Branch, Gonzales, Louisiana;  Louisiana Department of Environmental
Quality,  Baton  Rouge,  Louisiana;  and the  U.S.  Environmental
Protection Agency Region  6 Library, Dallas, Texas.   A summary of
the Proposed  Plan  and the  notice of  availability of  the these
documents and Administrative Record File was published in the Baton
Rouge Daily Advocate  and Gonzales Weekly.   In addition,  a fact
sheet summarizing the Proposed Plan of Action for the site was
mailed to the site mailing list on October 15, 1993.  An open house
to present the findings of the Proposed  Plan of Action was held on
October 14, 1993 at the Dutchtown Primary  School.

II.

The EPA held a public  comment period regarding the RI/FS, Proposed
Plan  and Administrative  Record from October  15, 1993,  through
November 13,  1993.  During  this public  comment period,  a formal
public meeting  was  held  on  October 28,  1993,  at the Dutchtown
Primary School.  Comments and questions received during the comment
period  or during  the  public meeting  and EPA's responses are
summarized below.

-------
Comments And Questions Received During Public Meeting

(1)  The president of the Ascension Parish Residents Against Toxic
     Pollution  wanted to  know  the  depth  of the  deepest  core
     sampling that took place,  the number of deep core samples and
     the results of the sampling.

     EPA Response:  The deepest  core sampling that  took place at
     the site  is  30 feet below  ground surface.   Four  deep core
     samples were  drilled during the Remedial Investigation, and no
     contamination was detected in any of the samples.

(2)  A  local resident  noted  that  the  french drain which  was
     installed around May 1991 is not being pumped any longer and
     wanted to know why the French Drain was not being pumped.   In
     addition, the resident noted that EPA's preferred alternative
     does not  mention the use of the  existing french  drain and
     wanted to know if pumping of the  french  drain  was  no longer
     necessary or not worth the expense.

     EPA Response:   The PRPs  and EPA  agreed to  modify  the ERA
     workplan for the installation of a french drain as an interim
     measure during  the  completion of  the RI/FS  to  address 'the
     visibly contaminated  ground water that  was  observed  to  be
     seeping into the waste pit.   Following the completion of the
     Remedial  Investigation,  pumping  of  the french drain  was
     stopped.

     Since the remedial action objectives for  the ground water are
     to prevent human exposure to contaminated ground  water and
     prevent contamination of the 150 foot drinking water aquifer,
     the  selected  remedy  meets  these  goals  through  natural
     attenuation  and  monitoring.    In  addition,  there  is  a
     contingency  plan in  case  the  natural  attenuation is not
     effective in reducing the levels and extent of contamination.
     A possible contingency action could be to go-out immediately
     and begin pumping the currently installed french drain.

(3)  A student from a local  university requested  a discussion on
     EPA's justification for  selection of natural attenuation as
     the preferred alternative.

     EPA Response:  The remedial action objectives  for  ground water
     are to prevent human exposure to contaminated  ground water and
     to prevent exceeding Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs) for the
     contaminants  of  concern in  the  150  foot  drinking  water
     aquifer.

-------
     Natural attenuation meets these goals because, by the time any
     of the contaminants of  concern reach  the 150 foot  aquifer,
     their concentrations will be below MCLs.  Also,  in evaluating
     the various alternatives for the site,  the primary balancing
     criteria  that weighed heaviest and contributed most to  the
     selection of  natural  attenuation  over  the  other evaluated
     alternatives were the  long-term effectiveness and permanence
     criteria  and cost criteria.  All of the proposed alternatives,
     with the  exception of  No Action, could  provide a  significant
     and adequate degree of  reduction of toxicity,  mobility,  or
     volume   as   well    as   short-term   effectiveness    and
     implementability.

     The  selected remedy  (natural  attenuation) should  be   as
     effective  in  the  long   term  as  the  active  treatment
     alternatives since natural attenuation will result in  the
     lowering  of contaminants of  concern to  the same levels  as
     would be achieved with  active  ground  water  treatment.   The
     ground water contamination is in a Class III aquifer,  and this
     ground water  is not  suitable  as  a drinking  water  source
     because the yield is  insufficient.  Natural attenuation  is
     acceptable since ground water  restoration of the Class  III
     aquifer is not warranted at this time, and  contamination is
     not expected to migrate beyond  the Class III aquifer  to  the
     150 foot  aquifer.

     Finally,   the  selected   remedy  provides that   contingency
     measures  be  implemented if  contaminant  concentration,   or
     extent of contamination increase over time.  While the natural
     attenuation remedy provides  a  similar  degree  of long-term
     effectiveness when compared to the ..other alternatives,  the
     estimated cost of the  natural  attenuation alternative,  which
     is  $760,000,  is  significantly lower  than the estimated
     $2,200,000 to  $16,000,000  costs associated with the  other
     alternatives.

(4)   One commentor wanted  to know  if there would be a  risk  to
     people who could eventually hunt animals that could inhabit
     the site  once the site grows up with vegetation.

     EPA Response:  The operation and maintenance  (O & M) plan will
     require that the site be mowed to prevent overgrowth  and that
     a fence be maintained around  the site.  These actions will
     prevent animals  from  wanting  to  reside on the  site.   In
     addition, there is a clay cap over the areas that were treated
     during the ERA which will also be checked as part of the  O&M
     plan.   The clay caps will prevent animals from being exposed

-------
     to any type of remaining contaminants.  Although an assessment
     of the risk associated with people hunting animals that might
     inhabit  the site was not performed,  the O & M actions and clay
     caps  should   prevent  animals  from  being  exposed  to  any
     contaminants, thereby  minimizing  risks to  people  hunting
     animals.

(5)   An individual wanted to know how long it will take  for the
     chemicals to  break down by natural  attenuation/  and how long
     will the monitoring program last.

     EPA Response:  The concentrations of chemicals in the ground
     water will decrease over time in at least two ways.   As the
     ground water  migrates,  the contamination becomes more dilute
     from mixing  with  other ground water.   Chemicals  in ground
     water may  also be physically broken down  by  chemical  or
     biological processes.   The  ground water contamination was
     modeled   to   simulate  the  vertical  movement  of  benzene,
     ethylbenzene  and styrene,  and to evaluate their potential for
     impacting the aquifer in which water  wells are  installed in
     the area.  The shallowest drinking water  aquifer is  at an
     approximate   depth  of  150 feet.   A series  of ground water
     models were run for time periods  of 20, 50,  and 100 years.

     The model  indicates that,   after  20  years,  benzene  would
     migrate  to 28 feet below the former source  at  the surface,
     ethylbenzene  to 19  feet, and styrene to 14.5 feet before their
     concentrations  decreased  to   their  respective   Maximum
     Contaminant   Level.   No specific modeling  was conducted to
     evaluate the  lateral movement of the ground water plumes.  The
     remedy  calls for  30 years  of  monitoring  to  take  place.
     Monitoring   will   be   quarterly   during  the   first  year,
     semiannually  during years  two  through five  and  annually
     thereafter up to year 30.

Comments And  Questions Received During Public Comment Period

(1)   The commentor stated that based on the  information provided in
     the Proposed  Plan of Action, it appears that the proper remedy
     has been selected  to a degree.  The remedy should include the
     reduction of all  hazardous  waste  levels onsite to  a  level
     below health based levels.  By doing so, the remedial action
     will  ensure  adequate  protection  of  human  health  and the
     environment.

-------
EPA  Response:   The  risk  assessment which  was  conducted
evaluated dermal, ingestion and inhalation exposure to current
and future  area  residents as well as  site trespassers from
contaminants present in surface  soils.  Calculated results of
the risk assessment showed that all  excess cancer  risks and
hazard  indices  were   within   limits  acceptable   by  EPA.
Therefore, exposure to site contaminants is expected to result
in  no unacceptable  risk or  hazard to  human health  under
current or no action conditions.  In addition, an extensive ERA
was conducted at the site prior to the RI/FS.  During the ERA,
the contents  of the  holding pond, waste  oil pit,  and above
ground  storage tanks were  processed  and sent  offsite  for
incineration,  water  from  the  pits  and • tank cleaning  was
treated and disposed, and the soils under the waste pits and
holding pond  were  excavated, treated to  concentrations less
than 4 ppm, put back in place,  and capped.

To  evaluate whether any  chemical of potential  concern  for
onsite  surface soils could  exceed EPA's  acceptable  excess
lifetime cancer risk or non-carcinogenic  risk,  a comparative
analysis was  performed.   The comparative analysis  evaluated
target remediation  goals for potential chemicals of concern in
onsite   soils  for   residential  land   use,    versus   the
concentrations of onsite soil contaminants identified-during
the RI*   The  target  remediation goals were  calculated  for
excess cancer risks of  1 x 10"*  (1 in ten thousand)  and  1 x
10'6  (1  in one million), and a  hazard index of  1  (a  hazard
index of less than 1 means that no adverse non-cancer health
effects  are  expected) .   Table 11  of the  ROD shows  that
concentrations of  the  potential chemicals  of   concern  for
onsite surface soil fall within the target remediation goals
calculated for EPAfs acceptable  excess  cancer risk range of 1
x 10.~4 to  1  x 10"6,  and are below the non-carcinogenic hazard
index of 1.

The shallow ground  water,  which  has contaminants  above health
based levels,  did  not represent a complete exposure pathway
since:  1)  no residential wells currently use this zone in the
vicinity of the site, and 2) this zone is not expected to be
used in the future  due to its insufficient yield.  In order to
prevent  human exposure to  contaminated  ground water  and
contamination  of  the  underlying 150-foot  drinking  water
aquifer, the selected remedy requires extensive ground water
monitoring to ensure contaminants do  not migrate  laterally or
vertically.  In addition, the residential well on the Watt's
property (which is  the closest water well in the area) will be
closed out and a replacement well drilled.
