16. ABSTRACT
The Beacon Heights Landfill site is located two miles east of the intersection of
Connecticut Routes 8 and 42 in Beacon Falls, Connecticut. From the 1920's until 1970
the site was known as "Betkoski's Dump" and consisted of approximately six acres on
which active dumping occurred. According to records at the Connecticut Department of
Environmental Protection (CT DEP), waste accepted at the dump included municipal ref-
use, rubber, plastics, and industrial chemicals and sludges. Landfill operations con-
sisted primarily of open burning along with burial of noncombustibles. In 1970, the
Betkoski property and adjacent properties totaling 83 acres were purchased by the
Murtha Trucking Company, and the name was changed to Beacon Heights, Inc. Landfill. At
this time, the landfill area was expanded to approximately 30 acres. Records of the
CT DEP, including a 1973 report by the landfill engineer, listed rubber, plastics,
oils, hydrocarbons, chemical liquids and sludges, and solvents as being disposed of at
the landfill by the trucking company.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: excavation of Betkoski's Dump
and other contaminated soils for consolidation with the main landfill prior to closure;
RCRA capping of the consolidated wastes including gas venting and stormwater management
controls; installation of a perimeter leachate collection system; collection of leach-
ate and transportation to a licensed waste water treatment facility or onsite treat-
(see attached page)

16. ABSTRACT
The Cannon Engineering Corporation (CEC) Plymouth Site is located in Cordage Park, a
business and industrial park bordering Plymouth Harbor, in Plymouth, Massachusetts. The
site consists of 2.5 acres which includes three above ground storage tanks, two of which
are estimated to have nominal storage capacities in excess of 250,000 gallons each, and
one which has an estimated 500,000 gallon capacity. The tanks were originally used for
the storage of #6 marine fuel oil and bunker C oil. In 1976, CEC rented one tank for
the reported storage of waste oil and later rented a second tank. Allegedly, CEC used
the tanks to store hazardous wastes. In 1979, CEC was licensed by the Massachusetts
Department of Environmental Quality Engineering (DEQE) to store motor oils, industrial
oils and emulsions, solvents, laquers, organic chemicals, inorganic chemicals, cyanide
and plating waste, clay and filter media containing chemicals, plating sludge, oily
solids and pesticides. Potential problems observed at the site included slow leakage at
the bottom seams of one of the tanks; adequacy of earthen dikes surrounding the tanks;
odor complaints; and leaks from tank side valves. The principal contaminants of concern
identified in the soil during the RI included polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH),
pesticides, and lead. Surface water samples collected from seeps along the tidal stream
and shore contained iron, selenium, lead, manganese and silver. PAHs, lead, and
pesticides were detected in sediment samples collected from the tidal stream. Low

levels of pesticides and some metals were also detected in harbor
sediments. Ground water samples did not exhibit analytical indications of
organic chemical contamination however, low levels of some metals were
detected.
It has been determined that selection of the cost-effective remedial
alternative would best be served by generating supplemental information and
deferring selection of the final remedial alternative. The ROD for
CEC-Plymouth Site will be amended following evaluation of the new data. The
ROD amendment will specify the remedial measures deemed appropriate to
address contamination remaining at the site. The tasks necessary to
generate supplemental information necessary for further remedial analysis
are: removal and offsite disposal of tanks no. 1, 2, and 3 and associated
piping; supplemental sampling of soil, ground water, surface water and
sediments; and assessment of the floodplains. Total capital cost for this
portion of the remedial decision is estimated to be between $350,000 and
$433,000, with no O&M costs.

16. ABSTRACT
The Charles George Land Reclamation Trust Landfill is a privately owned municipal
and industrial waste landfill, operating since 1967. The landfill accepted and dis-
posed of chemical waste between 1973 and 1975 under a hazardous waste disposal permit
from the Massachusetts DEQE. Leachate from the landfill has contaminated nearby
residential bedrock wells which were shutdown July 31, 1982 by order of the
Massachusetts DEQE. In April 1983, the Charles George Land Reclamation Trust filed
for the protection of the bankruptcy court. This is a National Priorities List site.
The selected remedial action is to extend an existing water supply system to
the Cannongate Condominium and local private well users whose wells have been found to
be contaminated with volatile organic chemicals from the Charles George site. An
RI/FS is being conducted to identify and evaluate remedial alternatives to mitigate
threats to public health, welfare and the environment. Determination of future
remedial actions will be made upon completion of this work.

16. ABSTRACT
The Charles George Land Reclamation Trust Landfill (CGLRT) site is a
69-acre landfill located in Tyngsborough, Massachusetts about 30 miles
northwest of Boston and 4 miles south of Nashua, New Hampshire. From 1955
until 1971, the site was operated as a municipal dump. In 1973, CGLRT was
issued a permit by the Massachusetts Division of Water Pollution control to
handle hazardous wastes in addition to municipal and domestic refuse. Dis-
posal of hazardous wastes and substances, primarily in the form of drummed
and bulk chemicals containing volatile organics and toxic metal sludges,
continued from January 1973 to at least June 1976. The exact quantity of
hazardous substances disposed at the site is unknown. Records submitted by
the landfill operators and other available information show that at least
2,500 cubic yards of chemical waste material were landfilled and over one-
thousand pounds of mercury were disposed of at the site.
The selected remedial action includes the installation of: a full syn-
thetic membrane cap, a surface water diversion and collection system; a vent
network with an off-gas collection system venting to the atmosphere; and a
full peripheral leachate collection system. Total capital cost for the se-
lected remedial alternative is estimated to be $13,613,725 and O&M costs are
approximately $1,252,901 per year.

16. ABSTRACT
The Hocomonco Pond site consists of approximately 23 acres, located in
the Town of Westborough, Worcester County, Massachusetts, and is bordered on
the northwest by Hocomonco Pond. Research into the past activities at the
Hocomonco Pond Site indicates that from 1928 to 1946, the site was used for
a wood-treating operation by Montan Treating Company and American Lumber and
Treating Company. This business consisted of saturating wood products
(e.g., telephone poles, railroad ties, pilings and fence posts) with creo-
sote to preserve them. During the operations, wastes were discharged into a
pit lagoon (referred to as the "former lagoon"). The lagoon was excavated
on the property to intercept and contain spillage and waste from the wood-
treating operation. As this lagoon became filled with waste creosote,
sludges, and water, its contents were pumped into two depressions, referred
to as Kettle Pond, which is located east of the site, near the west side of
Otis Street. In addition, site contamination extends into Hocomonco Pond
and its. discharge stream. The wood-treatment facility operated until the
mid-1940s when it was converted into an asphalt mixing plant. Discarded
aggregate and'asphalt are common throughout the site. The last use of the
site was as a cement plant from which dry cement was distributed in bulk. .

Abstract (continued)
The selected remedial alternative for this site includes: site grading,
capping and relocation of the storm drain pipe currently located adjacent to
the east side of the former lagoon; for the Kettle Pond area, dewatering the
pond and lowering the ground water level in the immediate area, soil/waste
excavation based primarily on visible contamination criteria, with addi-
tional removal of contaminants based on sampling and analysis of soil con-
ducted during excavation to ensure that contaminated soils are excavated to
the extent necessary to ensure mitigation of ground water contamination, and
dewatering of sediments with disposal in an onsite landfill; mechanical
dredging and onsite disposal of contaminated sediments for the Hocomonco
Pond and discharge stream; sealing the storm drain for Otis Street; removal
and onsite disposal of contaminated materials at three isolated areas of
contamination (soil near Monitoring Well-1, tank bases adjacent to former
lagoon, and drain channel sediments at the southwest side of Hocomonco
Pond); and air and water quality monitoring and post closure activities con-
sistent with RCRA regulations. Total capital cost for the selected remedial
alternative is $2,213,000 with O&M costs approximately $56,000 per year.

16. ABSTRACT
The Keefe Environmental Services (KES) site is located in a rural area in the
Town of Epping, NH. The site is located on approximately seventeen acres of woodland
off the north side of Exeter Road. The site is located in a State protected (Class A-
no discharges above background) watershed with wetland areas draining to the Piscassic
River. The Town of New Market has a water supply intake on the Piscassic River seven
miles downstream from the site. The ground water aquifier is used as a water supply
for ten residences located close by and is the major source of drinking water for
approximately 2,000 persons within a three-mile radius of the site. The KES was
designed and constructed as a chemical waste storage and bulking facility. The site
contains a 700,000 gallon open storage lagoon with a 100 mil. polyethylene liner.
During its period of operation, KES received over one million gallons of hazardous
wastes including toluene, methanol, acetone, MEK, glycols, waste oils, waste alcohols,
styrene cyanide and heavy metals. KES was cited on several occasions with health and
safety violations before filing for bankruptcy in January 1981.
Remedial actions included in the selected option are: removal of the contents
of the lagoon for disposal offsite at a RCRA-regulated facility, and removal of the
lagoon liner and adjacent highly contaminated soil for disposal at a RCRA-regulated
facility. Estimated capital costs for this action are $500,000 with no estimated

16. ABSTRACT
The McKin site is located approximately 1.5 miles east of Gray center on the
Mayall Road in Gray, Maine. The site includes approximately 6 acres and is sur-
rounded by residences, the closest being within 200 feet. The site lies in an
abandoned sand and gravel pit and currently consists of a fenced enclosure, 21 tanks
(12 of which are outside the fence), an incinerator, a concrete block building, an
asphalt lined lagoon and other debris. In 1979, liquid wastes were removed from the
site, however, non-pumpable sludges were left on-site. Most of the tank contents
(33,500 gallons) and 165 fifty-five gallon drums of oil and chemical wastes were
removed under the supervision of the Maine Department of Environmental Protection.
Air monitoring in 1982 showed high levels of volatile organics around the tanks.
Remaining materials in the tanks were found to contain concentrations ( up to 20%)
of dichloroethylene, freon, trichloroethylene and xylene.
Selected actions for this Initial Remedial Measure (IRM) include: on-site
cleaning of the tanks, transport of empty tanks off-site for salvage, and transport of
liquids and sludges off-site for disposal. Estimated capital cost for this IRM is
$47,000.

16. ABSTRACT
The McKin Company site is located on the west side of Mayall Road
between Route 115 and Pownall Road in Gray, Maine. The site is approx-
imately seven acres with 4.5 acres cleared and partially excavated. Be-
tween 1965 and 1978, the McKin Company operated a waste collection,
transfer, and disposal facility at the site. The Remedial Action Master
Plan (RAMP) for the McKin site was prepared in April 1983. Initial
Remedial Measures (IRMS) implemented at the site included cleaning and
removal of all remaining above-ground tanks. This work was completed in
September 1985 and represents the most recent removal action to take
place on the site. Presently, the site consists of a fenced enclosure
containing an incinerator, a concrete block building, an asphalt-lined
lagoon, miscellaneous debris, and one buried fuel tank. An outer fence
along Mayall Road and portions of the northern and southern site bound-
aries restrict vehicle and pedestrian acess to the site.
The selected remedial action includes: on-site soil aeration; off-
site disposal of approximately 16 drums; soil tests; a groundwater ex-
traction, treatment, and surface water discharge system; off-site ground'
water and surface water monitoring program to evaluate the effectiveness
of the on-site source control and off-site groundwater extraction and

16. ABSTRACT
The Nyanza Chemical Waste Dump site occupies 35 acres on the north and
south sides of Megunco Road in the Village of Ashland in Middlesex County,
MA, approximately 35 miles west of Boston. The Nyanza site was occupied
from 1917 to 1978 by a succession of companies involved in the production of
textile dyes and intermediates. Large volumes of industrial waste water
generated by these companies, containing high levels of acids and numerous
organic and inorganic chemicals, including mercury, were partially treated
and discharged into the Sudbury River via a small unnamed stream (referred
to as Chemical Brook). Large volumes of chemical sludges generated by the
waste water treatment processes along with spent solvents, off specification
products, and other chemical wastes were buried onsite. The area that
contains the largest amount of buried waste and exposed sludge is referred
to as the "Hill" section.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: excavation of all
outlying sludge deposits and contaminated soils and sediments associated
with these deposits to background levels; consolidation of this material
with the Hill sludge deposits; capping of the Hill area in conformance with
the technical requirements of RCRA; construction of a ground water and

backfilling the excavated areas to original grade and revegetating the
wetland areas; and construction of a more extensive ground water monitoring
network to enable future evaluation of the effectiveness of the cap. Total
capital cost for the selected remedial alternative is estimated to range
from $5.6 to $9.8 million, with annual O&M costs of $92,000 for year 1 and
$70,000 for years 2-30. EPA will undertake an additional RI/FS to evaluate
the extent of and risks posed by offsite ground water contaminant migration
and sediment contamination in the Sudbury River and wetlands contiguous to
the site. If additional remedial actions are determined to be necessary, a
Record of Decision will be prepared.

16. ABSTRACT
The Picillo Farm site is located in Coventry, Rhode Island, approximately 20 miles
southwest of Providence. Drums containing hazardous wastes and bulk wastes were
illegally disposed within an 8-acre area of the Picillo Farm over a period of months in
1977. A series of trenches—the northwest trench, northeast trench, west trench, south
trench, and two slit trenches—were used for this activity. In September 1977, an
explosion and fire at the site brought the dumping activities to the attention of
regulatory agencies. Since September 1977, a number of investigations and remedial
activities have been conducted at the site. PCBs, organics, and phenols were identi-
fied in onsite soil. '
The selerted remedial action includes: disposal of approximately 3,500 cubic yards
of primarily PCB contaminated soils and disposal of approximately 3,000 cubic yards
of primarily phenol contaminated soils onsite in a RCRA/TSCA landfill; and implementa-
tion of site closure activities. Total capital cost for the selected remedial alterna-
tive is estimated to be $841,600 with O&M costs approximately $12,120 for the first
year, $25,648 for years 2-4 and $19,048 for years 5-30 (with the exception of year 16
at $34,048). The recommended remedy will not eliminate the residual ground water at
the site. In addition to this remedy, however, EPA will implement a ground water and
surface water monitoring program and establish risk based standards that are protective
of public health, welfare and the environment. If additional remedial actions are
to ce necessary,

16. ABSTRACT
The Re-Solve, Inc. site was used as a solvent reclamation facility for
approximately 24 years until operations ceased in 1980. High concentrations of PCB's,
volatile organics and heavy metals have been measured. These contaminants are migra-
ting off-site via surface runoff and ground water. The contaminated ground water
plume is migrating towards a recreational pond which drains into a lake designated as
a secondary water supply for the City of Fall River. In addition, the site is
located over an aquifer which serves as a recharge area for a portion of the Town of
North Dartmouth where a new municipal well is scheduled to be installed.
The cost-effective remedial action for this site includes: removing contents
of four unlined lagoons, soil from "hot spots", and soil from a former oil spreading
area for disposal off-site at a RCRA approved facility. Capping of the entire
6-acre site is also included. The estimated capital cost for the selected alterna-
tive is $3,050,000. Annual operation and maintenance costs were estimated to be
$36,000.

16. ABSTRACT
The Gilson Road hazardous waste dump site is located in the City of Nashua, New
Hampshire. The 6-acre site has been used as a sand borrow pit for an undetermined
number of years. Some time during the late 1960's the operator of the pit began an
unapproved and illegal waste disposal operation. Household refuse, demolition
materials, chemical sludges, and approximately 800,000 gallons of hazardous liquid
chemicals were dumped at the site. The ground water, air,and to a lesser extent
surface water have been contaminated.
The selected cost-effective remedial action includes the installation of a
slurry wall around a 20-acre area, an impervious cap, and treatment of the ground
water contained within the slurry wall. The present worth cost for the life of the
project is estimated to be $8,660,000.

The Gilson Road hazardous waste dump site is located in the City of Nashua, New
Hampshire. The 6-acre site has been used as a sand borrow pit for an undetermined
number of years. Some time during the late 1960's the operator of the pit began an
unapproved and illegal waste disposal operation. Household refuse, demolition
materials, chemical sludges, and approximately 800,000 gallons of hazardous liquid
chemicals were dumped at the site. The ground water, air and to a lesser extent
surface water have been contaminated.
The original ROD was signed in July 1982 approving the installation of a slurry
wall and surface cap as the first operable unit. The ROD also approved ground water
treatment as the second operable unit but deferred selection of the specific treatment
process until the technical analysis and evaluation of the pilot plant studies were
complete. The cost-effective ground water treatment system selected for this site
includes: inorganic chemicals removal; volatile organic chemicals removal; concen-
trated organic chemicals removal; and biological treatment of the sidestream. Also
a treatment rate of 300 gpm has been selected to reduce the operating time to
approximately 2 years.

16. ABSTRACT
This semi-rural site has been a sand and gravel mining operation owned by
Western Sand and Gravel, Inc., since 1953. In 1975 approximately 12 acres of the
20-acre site were used for the disposal of 480,000 gallons of liquid wastes, in-
cluding chemicals and sewage waste. These wastes were dumped into unlined lagoons
and seepage pits. Ground water contamination has occurred at the site and a plume
of contamination is moving towards domestic wells adjacent to the site.
The selected cost-effective remedial alternative includes: the installation
of a permanent alternate water supply to service approximately 56 parcels of land,
and the installation of carbon canister filters as a temporary abatement measure
for 8 homes with contaminated wells until the permanent water supply is functional.

16. ABSTRACT
The twelve-acre Bog Creek Farm is located in Kowell Township, Monmouth County, New
Jersey. The site consists of a four-acre disposal area, a maranade pond and a dike.
Bog Creek Farm was purchased in June 1973 by Western Ranch Corporation, an entity owned
by Fred and Margaret Barry. It is alleged that in 1973 and 1974 the Barry's dumped
wastes at Bog Creek Farm generated from a paint manufacturing operation that they owned.
Ihese wastes, reportedly bulk liquids and sludges, were dumped on the ground and in a
trench. Samples of the wastes taken during the RI confirmed the presence of a wide
variety of organic compounds and heavy metals. Total Volatile Organic (TVO) concentra-
tions in the soil were found as high as 44,000 ppm. The pond and a bog which lies just
east of the site are particularly contaminated with TVO concentrations as high as 23 ppm
and 494 ppm, respectively.
The cost-effective remedial actions selected for this site include: removing the
water and sediments from the pond and bog; regrading and covering the pond and bog
to prevent reponding; treating the waste water onsite and discharging to the nearby
stream; excavating the waste deposits and contaminated soil ^10,000 ppm TVOs; inciner-
ating excavated materials at a temporary facility onsite or at an offsite facility in
accordance with RCRA; conducting a further analysis of the impact of the residual
contaminated soil to determine the extent of additional site remediation necessary;

16. ABSTRACT
This 30-acre site is located approximately one mile east of the Town of Bridge-
port and about two miles south of the Delaware River. The site is an abandoned waste
oil storage and recovery facility which operated from 1950 through the early 1970's.
The site includes a tank farm consisting of 90 tanks and process vessels, drums, tank
trucks and a 12.7 acre waste oil and wastewater lagoon. The lagoon is divided into
three layers: an oily upper layer, an aqueous middle layer, and bottom sludge/sedimei
deposits. Sampling of these lagoon layers and the ground water reveal average PCB
concentrations in excess of 500 ppm; organics, such as benzene, methylene chloride
and toluene, at concentrations up to 1,000 ppb; and acetone at levels up to 70 ppm.
The cost-effective remedial alternative selected for the first operable unit in-
cludes disposal of oily waste and sediment/sludge via on-site incineration; removal anc
disposal of contaminated water via an on-site treatment system; drum excavation and re-
moval; maintenance pumping to prevent further migration of the contaminated plume;
complete removal of tanks and waste; installation of a water supply pipeline from an
existing pump station; and a second phase RI/FS to determine appropriate ground water
cleanup and lagoon closure remedies. The estimated total project capital cost for this
remedy is $57,672,000 and the estimated 10-year operation and maintenance costs for
the water supply pipeline is $20,000. (Key Words on attached page)

16. ABSTRACT
The Burnt Fly Bog site is located in Marlboro Township, Monmouth County and
Old Bridge Township, Middlesex County, New Jersey. Between 1950 and 1956, the site
had been used for lagoon storage and settling of reprocessed oil, storage of filter
clay from oil reprocessing operations, sanitary landfilling, and sand and gravel pit
operations. During these operations, hazardous substances were improperly disposed
of resulting in contamination throughout the 60-acre study area.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: excavation and disposal off -
site of liquids, sludges, asphalt piles, drums, contaminated soil from lagoons

period. The approach is a three-phase action.
Capital costs for the selected alternative are estimated at $2,200,000 for
Phase I, $5,110,000 for Phase II and $60,000 per year for operation and maintenance.

16. ABSTRACT
The Chemical Control site is located in the City of Elizabeth in Union County,
New Jersey. This site operated as a hazardous waste storage, treatment and disposal
facility accepting various types of chemicals including acids, arsenic bases, cyanides
flammable solvents, PCBs, compressed bases, biological agents, and pesticides.
The cost-effective remedial action selected for this site includes removal of
gas cylinders, reconstruction of storm sewer catch basins and grates, cleaning of the
storm sewer system, construction of curbing and decontamination of five box haulers
and one vaccuum truck on-site. The hazardous materials generated by these remedial
actions will be transported off-site to a RCRA-approved disposal site. The estimated
project cost is $732,500.

are located to the north and south of the site, approximately 2000 and 4000 feet away
respectively. The site lies in a cleared area with wastes deposited randomly on the
surface and some wastes partially buried. The exact period of disposal activities
at the D'lmperio site is unknown. However, it is believed that unauthorized dumping
took place from the late 1960's to 1976. A limited field investigation was conducted
in the fall of 1980 which indicated that the ground water underlying the site was
contaminated with volatile organics. The site was subsequently included on the EPA
Interim Priorities List.
The selected remedial alternative for the D'lmperio site includes excavation and
transportation of 3900 cubic yards of contaminated waste and soil and surface drums to
a RCRA-regulated disposal site; construction of a RCRA cap following completion of the
excavation; and pumping and treating contaminated ground water from two affected
acquifers prior to reinjection or surface discharge. The treatment process is estima-
ted to take 17 months and will provide for the removal of both organic and inorganic
contaminants. After 17 months an evaluation will be made to determine the effectiveness

The Friedman Property site is located in Upper Freehold Township, Monmouth
County, New Jersey and is an open, vacant lot with scrub vegetation. The site is
bordered by an unnamed tributary to Lahaway Creek, a single-family residential
property, and Routes 537 and 539. Between the late 1950's and the early 1970's the
site received bulk liquids and household and demolition debris. Due to impending
litigation, information regarding contamination at the site is limited, however,
investigations have revealed the presence of pentachlorophenol and other volatile
organics in ground water samples.
The selected remedv for the Friedman Pronertv site consists of no action with
regard to remediating the low levels of contamination detected at the site, monitoring
on-site wells annually for a five-year period, and recommending that the State of
New Jersey request the appropriate local authorities to implement deed restrictions
on the property. Total capital cost of the selected remedial alternative is estimated
to be $60,000.

6. ABSTRACT
The 60-acre GEMS Landfill site is located in Gloucester Township, New
Jersey. Gloucester Township has owned the GEMS site from the late 1950's up to
the present. During this time period the GEMS Landfill has been operated by
various parties as a disposal site for solid, liquid and hazardous wastes
and substances. Records indicate that a variety of industrial wastes in-
cluding asbestos, solvents and other materials were disposed of at the GEMS
site between 1970 and 1979. In 1980, sludge from the City of Philadelphia's
northeast wastewater treatment facility was disposed of at GEMS. Analyses
of the sludge revealed the presence of dichlorodiphenyl dichloroethane
(ODD). The results of the RI show that ground water, surface water (Holly
Run) and soil are severely contaminated with organic and inorganic hazardous
substances. Alao, volatile organic compounds are volatilizing into the at-
mosphere and significantly degrading air quality.
The cost-effective remedial actions selected for this site include:
construction of a landfill cap with regrading of existing landfill side
slopes, an active gas collection and treatment system, a ground water pump
and treatment system (treatment preference is pretreatment and discharge to
the POTW), surface water controls, and a security fence; implementation of a

16. ABSTRACT
The Goose Farm site is located approximately two miles northeast of the Town of
New Egypt in Plumsted Township, Ocean County, New Jersey. The Goose Farm was used as
a hazardous waste disposal site from the mid 1940's to the mid 1970's by a manufacturer
of polysulfide rubber and solid rocket fuel propellant. The majority of wastes were
dumped into a pit dug through the fine sand. The dimensions of the pit were approxi-
mately 100 x 300 x 15 feet. Lab packs, 55 gallon drums, and bulk liquids were dumped
into the pit. Investigations have found contaminated soils containing volatile, acid
and base/neutral organic pollutants throughout the disposal area. In addition, samp-
ling shows contamination of ground water up to 570 ppm total priority pollutants and
contamination of the surface water up to 1100 ppb total volatile organics.
The recommended remedial alternative for this site is expected to be implemented
in a phased manner. First, the contaminated soil and ground water underlying the
site will be flushed. The ground water will be recovered using a well-point system
and will be treated onsite prior to reinjection into the soil. Following soil flushing
and ground water recovery and treatment, extensive testing will be conducted to de-
termine the need to cap the site. In addition, during and after soil flushing and
ground water recovery and treatment activities, extensive testing will be conducted to
determine the extent of PCB contamination in the former drum pit area. Test data will

16. ABSTRACT xh« Helen Kramer Landfill is located in Mantua Township, Gloucester
County, New Jersey. The site encompasses a 66-acre refuse area and an 11-
acre stressed area between the refuse and Edwards Run which is located imme-
diately east of the landfill. The Helen Kramer Landfill site was originally
operated as a sand and gravel pit. The site became an operating landfill
between 1963 and 1965, during which time landfilling occurred simultaneously
with sand excavation. In 1963, large volumes of wastes were deposited just
north of the south ravine. Ponds of standing liquid were also located
around the north ravine. Between 1963 and 1965, the fill was extended into
the south ravine, and the north ravine was filled and graded. Very little
is known about the landfill activities between 1965 and 1970. Throughout
1970 to 1981 it was alleged by area residents that sporadic chemical dumping
continued. The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection files and
other reports indicate that materials containing hazardous substances were .
disposed of at the landfill during this period. Sampling conducted during
the RI showed that the underlying aquifer is heavily contaminated with .or-
ganic compounds including trichloroethanes, benzene, toluene, and phenols.
Inorganic chemicals found in the ground water include arsenic, iron, and
magnesium. The aquifer is discharging into Edwards Run which is also
heavily contaminated with similar organics and inorganics.

16. ABSTRACT
During a 30-year period ending in 1977, the Hudson River was contaminated with
polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) from two capacitor manufacturing plants owned by
the General Electric Company. Field surveys have shown that PCB contamination is
found in 40 submerged sediment hot spots, 5 exposed shoreline remnant deposits,
dredge spoils on the banks of the upper Hudson River and in estuary sediments.
The remedial alternative selected for this site consists of in-place contain-
ment of remnant shoreline deposits. This temporary solution includes: covering
affected areas with an 18-inch thick layer of subsoil followed by a 6-inch layer of
topsoil, grading and seeding the cover to minimize erosion and, if necessary, bank
stabilization to prevent scouring. An alternative to address submerged PCB hot spots
was not selected at this time because of the lack of existing data to establish that
existing technology would be effective and reliable. The State will conduct a
dredging demonstration program using funds from Section 116 of the Clean Water Act.
If adequate, the information from this demonstration project will be used to develop
a remedial action which will address both river sediments and the exposed remnant
deposits.

16. ABSTRACT
The Krysowaty farm is located on a 42-acre tract of land in Hillsborough Township,
New Jersey. The disposal of chemical wastes at the site was reported to have occurred
between 1965 and 1970. An estimated 500 drums of paint and dye wastes were dumped,
crushed and buried at the site. In addition to drums, other wastes including demo-
lition debris, tires, automobiles, bulk waste, solvents, waste sludge and other
materials were disposed at the site.
The cost-effective remedial alternative selected for this site is excavation and
off-site disposal of contaminated soils and wastes at a facility approved for PCBs and
monitoring of existing on-site wells send-annually for a period of 5 years. A
permanent alternative water supply will also be provided to potentially affected
residences as part of the remedial action. The capital cost for the selected alterna-
tive is $2,164,014 -and the O&M costs for the project, which include water usage cost
(20 year present worth) and post closure environmental monitoring, are $145,698.

16. ABSTRACT
The Lipari Landfill occupies approximately six acres in the Township of Mantua,
Gloucester County, New Jersey. Between 1958 and 1971, the landfill has been used
for the disposal of household waste, liquid and semi-solid chemical wastes, and
other industrial materials. Best estimates indicate that approximately 3 million
gallons of liquid wastes have been disposed at the site. Ground water and surface
water contamination has been the primary concern at the site.
The selected cost-effective alternative involves a 360° cutoff wall with a cap
over a 16-acre area during the first operable unit; the second operable unit will
involve installation of ground water collection wells and treatment of the ground
water within the slurry wall. The total cost for design and implementation of
the cutoff wall and cap in addition to further evaluation related to the collection
and treatment of leachate is estimated to be $1,769,150.

6. ABSTRACT
The Lipari Landfill sit* in located in Mantua Township, Gloucester
County, New Jersey and is adjacent to the towns of Pitman and Glassboro.
The site is approximately fifteen acres in size; six acres of which were
used for hazardous waste landfilling activities. Trenches excavated for
sand and gravel were backfilled with municipal refuse, household wastes,
liquid and semi-solid chemical wastes, and other industrial wastes. Al-
though no detailed records were kept, it has been estimated that 12,000 cu-
bic yard? of solid wastes and 2.9 million gallons of liquid wastes were dis-
posed of etc the site. Wastes reported to have been disposed of include sol-
vents, paint thinners, formaldehyde paints, phenol and amine wastes, dust-
collector residues, resins and ester press cakes. Initial removal and reme-
dial actions completed at the site include: fencing the entire fifteen
acres, installing a bentonite/soil slurry wall keyed into the underlying
aquitard, covering the site with an impermeable synthetic membrane liner,
and installing a passive gas-venting system (see the ROD dated 8/13/82 -for
additional information).
The cost-effective remedial actions selected for this site include:
installation of ground water/leachate and injection wells within the con-

nated. Identification of remedial action alternatives to mitigate poten-
tially contaminated offsite areas will be made in the near future. The es-
timated capital cost for this project is $3,464,000 and annual O&M costs are
estimated to be $715,000. These cost estimates will be affected by the off-
site/onsite treatment systems ultimately designed.

16. ABSTRACT
The 45-acre Lone Pine Landfill is situated on a 144-acre wooded parcel owned
by the Lone Pine Corporation in Freehold Township, Monmouth County, New Jersey.
The landfill is approximately 500 feet south of the headwaters of the Manasquan
River and 1,000 feet south of the Turkey Swamp Fish and Wildlife Management area.
The Lone Pine Landfill operated from 1959 until 1979 when it was ordered closed by
the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. While it was open, wastes
accepted at the landfill included municipal refuse and septage wastes, at least
17,000 drums and several million gallons of bulk liquid chemicals. The major
class of contaminants being released from the landfill are volatile organic compounds,
notably benzene, chlorobenzene, methyl chloride, toluene and vinyl chloride.
The cost-effective remedial alternative which was selected for this site in-
cludes installation of a slurry wall, approximately 30 feet through the Vincentown
aquifer; a multi-layer surface seal over the 45-acre landfill; installation of
ground water collection wells located within the contained zone; treatment of ground
water collected from within the contained zone; and monitoring to determine the
effectiveness of the remedy. The estimated present worth capital cost for this
remedy is $10,642,050 and the annual O&M costs are $324,734.

IS. ABSTRACT t\
The Love Canal Site is located in the southeast corner of the city of Niagara
Falls and is approximately one-quarter mile north of the Niagara River. Between 1942
and 1952, Hooker Chemical and Plastics Corporation (now Occidental Chemical Corpora- .
tion) disposed of over 21,000 tons of various chemicals into Love Canal. The solid
and liquid wastes deposited into the Canal include acids, chlorides, mercaptans,
phenols, toluenes, pesticides, chlorophenols, chlorobenzenes , and sulfides.
The selected remedial action includes; hydraulically clean designated sewers,
remove and dispose of contaminated sediments and inspect specific sewer reaches for
defects that could act as pathways for contaminant migration; repair damaged flood
gate at the south Storm and Sanitary Sewer; limit access, dredge designated portions
of the creeks and hydraulically clean Black Creek culverts? perform temporary in-situ
stabilization of the contaminated sediment via the erection of a berm until issues
concerning the source of contamination from 102nd Street Landfill are resolved. All
waste will be stored within the Love Canal containment system. In addition to the
above remedial action, the installation of a permanent administration building is
being recommended on-site. Total capital cost for the selected remedial alternative
is estimated to be $8,929,000.

16. ABSTRACT
The Olean Well Field is located in the eastern portion of the City of Clean, and
also encompasses part of the Town of Olean, in Cattaraugus County, New York. Early
in 1981, the three municipal wells (Well numbers: 18M, 37M and 38M) at the site were
found to contain levels of trichloroethylene (TCE) at concentrations above the New
York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) Drinking Water Guidelines (50 ppb). These
wells were closed and an old surface water filtration plant was reactivated to provide
water to city residents. Private wells in the area were subsequently tested and many
were found to be contaminated. Approximately one half of the contaminated private
wells have shown TCS levels -.-£ over 1,000 ppb. The highest level of TCE detected in
a private well was 3,100 ppb (sample taken June 1985).
The selected remedial action for this site includes: reactivating the municipal
wells and constructing a packed tower air stripping system north of the Allegheny River
at municipal well 18M to treat the ground water to a maximum contaminant level (MCL)
of 5 ppb for TCE; construction of a similar air stripping system south of the river to_
treat water from wells 37M and 38M; discharging all treated water into the public
water supply system; extending the City of Olean water lines into the Town of Olean
and hooking up 93 private well users to the public water supply system; inspecting the
McGraw-Edison industrial sewer and analyzing repair and replacement options;

16. ABSTRACT
The Pollution Abatement Services (PAS) site, which is located in the City of
Oswego, NY, was used as a chemical waste storage and processing facility. The
site is bounded on the east, north,and west by wetlands from two stream channels.
Just to the north of PAS the two streams converge and flow into Lake Ontario. The
soil and ground water are contaminated with waste acids and alkalis, PCB-contami-
nated solids and liquids, halogenated organics, organic resins, and heavy metal-
laden wastewater.
The cost-effective remedial alternative includes: limited excavation and
removal of contaminated soil, subsurface tanks,and drums to a RCRA approved landfill;
construction of a perimeter slurry wall; site grading and capping in accordance
with RCRA Part 264; ground water recovery; leachate collection; on-site ground
water and leachate treatment; and ground water monitoring in accordance with RCRA
Part 264. The capital cost for the selected alternative is $1,363,700 and the
annual O&M cost is $117,000.

16. ABSTRACT
The Pijak Farm is located approximately two miles northeast of the Town of New
Egypt in Plumsted Township, Ocean County, New Jersey. The site is approximately 87
acres and is relatively flat with portions that drop off into a marshy, wooded flood
plain. Between 1963 and 1970, drums and free-flowing liquids from a facility dis-
posing of specialty and research chemicals were dumped into a natural ditch which
traversed the site and were later covered with soil. The deteriorated remains of
drums are visible along the edge of the flood plain. Contaminants found at the site
include: halogenated hydrocarbons, PCBs, phenolic compounds and oil sludges. The
principle contaminants found onsite are not priority pollutants.
The cost-effective remedial alternative selected for this site includes:
removal and off-site disposal of all drums and lab packs to a RCRA facility; excavation
and off-site disposal of visibly contaminated soil to a RCRA facility; pumping and
removal of contaminated ground water, as necessary, during excavation; monitoring on-
site wells, annually, for a five year period and sediment control during excavation
and sampling efforts. The capital cost for the selected alternative is estimated to
be $1,962,750 and the five-year O&M ground water monitoring costs are estimated to be
$53,600.

IS. ABSTRACT
The Price Landfill site is located in Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey. It was
originally a sand and gravel excavation operation which closed in 1968. Starting in
May 1971, the Price landfilling operation began to accept a combination of both
drummed and bulk liquid wastes. Initial listings of wastes consisted of industrial
chemicals, sludges, oil, grease, septic tank grease, and sewer wastes. It is estimated
that 9.1 million gallons of chemical waste were disposed of at the site.
The cost-effective remedial action for this site includes: replacement and
relocation of the Atlantic City Municipal Utilities Authority water supply well
field and transmission facilities and additional analysis of plume management, source
control and treatment remedies. The capital cost for the selected alternative is
estimated to be $5,070,000.

16. ABSTRACT
The former 103-acre Sinclair Oil Refinery is located in the Town of Wellsville,
Allegany County, New York. The site was originally developed as an oil refinery during
the late 1800s and was operated by the Wellsville Refining Company. Products manu-
factured at the site included lubricating oils and grease, fuel oil, naptha, gasoline,
lighter fluid and paraffin. In 1924, the Wellsville Refining Company sold the prop-
erty and plant to Sinclair Refining Company which maintained and operated the refinery
until 1958, when operations ceased as a result of a fire. While the refinery was in
operation, the southernmost portion of the property was used as a landfill to dispose
of approximately 230,000 yd3 of wastes. Substances deposited in the landfill con-
sisted of drummed waste, oily and tarry sludges, and hazardous waste compounds in
other forms. The landfill consists of the "Central Elevated Landfill Area" (CELA) , a
9.2-acre landfilled area to the north, the 2.3-acre "South Landfill Area" (SLA) to
the south, and a 1-acre sand and gravel borrow area between the two landfilled areas.
This 12.5 acre landfill sub-site is considered in this Record of Decision (ROD).
The selected remedial action for this site includes: removal and offsite disposal
of approximately 300 drums on the surface of the CELA; excavation of the 2.3-acre
SLA to a depth of approximately 20 feet to remove all waste material; filling of the
excavated area with clean fill; consolidation of the excavated SLA wastes onto the

16. ABSTRACT
The Spence Farm is located approximately 1.5 miles northeast of the Town of New
Egypt in Plumsted Township, Ocean County, New Jersey. The total area investigated is
approximately 83 acres, of which 30 acres are stream valleys and swamp lands. Waste
disposal occurred at scattered locations throughout a 20-acre low-lying wooded area
adjacent to two adjoining tributaries to Crosswicks Creek. Dumping of hazardous wastes
in drums, bulk and free-flowing liquid form occurred during 1961 to 1967. Contaminants
found at the site included organic and inorganic compounds. The organic compounds
found onsite are specialty and research chemicals and are not priority pollutants.
The cost-effective remedial alternative selected for this site includes: removal
and off-site disposal of all drums and lab packs to a RCRA facility; excavation and off-
site disposal of visibly contaminated soil to a RCRA facility; sediment control during
excavation and sampling efforts, and monitoring of on-site wells, annually, for a five
year period. Capital cost for the selected alternative is estimated to be $845,500
and the five-year O&M ground water monitoring costs are estimated to be $95,300.

16. ABSTRACT
The Swop* Oil Company site in located in an industrial complex in north-
ern Pennsauken Township, Caadan County, Haw Jaraay. Swope Oil operated a
chemical reclamation operation at this two-acre aite from 1965 until
December 1979. Operation* included buying, telling, dealing in, manufac-
turing, and processing, chemicals, chemical compounds and paints. Products
processed at the site included phosphate eaters, hydraulic fluids, paints
and varnishes, solvents, oils, plasticizers, and printing inks. Wast* liq-
uids and sludges from the Swope Oil operation were discharged to an exca-
vated, unlinad lagoon. Contaminated material was also ponded within a diked
tank farm and in an exposed drum storage area. The Company, which ceased
operation in December 1979, has declined to take any action at the site.
The coat-effective remedial actions selected for this site include:
construction of a cap; preparation of a supplemental RI/FS to evaluate the
extent of ground water contamination and to develop and evaluate appropriate*
remedial alternatives; removal of tanks and buildings with offsite inciner-
ation, treatment (aqueous wastes) or disposal (non-incinerable wastes) of
tank contents, and offsita disposal of tanks and building debris; excavation

16. ABSTRACT
The Wide Beach Development site is a small lake-side community located in the Town
of Brant, in southern Erie County, New York. Between 1968 and 1978 approximately 155
cubic meters of waste oil, some of which was contaminated with Polychlorinated
Biphenyls (PCBs), was applied to the local roadways for dust control by the Wide Beach
Homeowners Assocation. The source of the waste oil is being investigated, however,
drums labeled as dielectric coolant were found onsite. In 1980, the installation of a
sanitary sewer line in the development resulted in the excavation of highly contaminate
soil from the roadways and their vicinity. Because it was not known at that time that
a i.>-B p" blem existed, excavated soil was used as fill in several yards and in a com-
munity recreation area. Subsequent sampling revealed the presence of PCBs in the air,
roadway dust, soil, vacuum cleaner dust, and water samples from private wells.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: excavation of soils in the road-
way with PCB concentrations greater than 10 mg/kg to a depth of approximately 0.5m from
the base of the existing asphalt roadway surface, in the drainage ditch to a depth of
approximately 1m, in the driveways to 30cm, in the yards to a depth of approximately
15cm, and in the wetlands to a depth of approximately 20cm; excavation and disposal of
5-10cm of contaminated asphalt material,retaining uncontaminated material for reuse in
repaving; chemical treatment of the PCB-contaminated soils and reuse as fill in

16. ABSTRACT
The Bruin Lagoon site occupies over four acres in Bruin Borough, Butler
County, Pennsylvania. The focal point of the site is the one-acre, earthen diked
lagoon containing approximately 35,000 cubic yards of asphaltic sludge and 130,000
gallons of acidic liquid supernatant which was used for disposal for over 40 years.
In addition to sludge and supernatant, the site contains about 40,000 cubic yards
of covered lagoon material, 13,000 cubic yards of contaminated dike soil, and 2,000
cubic yards of contaminated surface soil from the scrap tankage area. Waste materials
consists of white oil production wastes, residue from motor oil--refining, coal
fines and fly ash.
The cost-effective remedial action involves removal and off-site disposal of
the supernatant, physical stabilization of lagoons, effluent pond cleanup, con-
struction of a ground water diversion channel, and stabilization of the dike.
The total estimated capital cost is $1,456,000 and O&M costs are estimated at
$60,000 over 30 years.

16. ABSTRACT
The Douglassville Disposal Site occupies approximately 50 acres of land along the
southern bank of the Schuylkill River in southeastern Berks County, Union Township,
Pennsylvania. Site operations included lubricating oil recycling in 1941 and waste
solvents recycling in the 1950 's and 1960's. Wastes generated from these operations
were stored in several lagoons located in the northern half of the site until 1972.
In November 1970, ten days of heavy rain caused the lagoons to overflow and breach
safety dikes releasing 2-3 million gallons of wastes. The dikes were repaired and a
Federal decree was issued stating that no more waste material was to be stored in the
lagoons. Actions were also initiated to dispose of remaining waste materials. Before
this action could be carried out, tropical storm Agnes caused the Schuylkill River to
overflow its banks and inundate the entire site. An estimated 6 to 8 million gallons
of wastes were released and carried downstream by floodwaters for about 15 miles. Oil
recycling operations continued until 1979 when corrections mandated by the Pennsyl-
vania Department of Environmental Resources (PADER) became cost-prohibitive. The
site operators then turned to refining waste oils for use as fuel in industrial
boilers, and oily waste sludge from this new recycling process was landf armed in the
area of the old western lagoon. PADER halted this practice in 1981, and mandated
operational corrections to the landf arm configuration.

16. ABSTRACT
Drake Chemical, Inc. purchased the eight-acre Drake Chemical site in Lock Haven,
PA, in 1962. The site includes several buildings, two lined waste water treatment
lagoons, an unlined sludge lagoon and an unlined liquid lagoon. The company manu-
factured small batches of intermediate chemicals for producers of dyes, Pharmaceuticals,
cosmetics, textiles and pesticides. The herbicide Fenac was also manufactured at the
plant and is a major site contaminant. In order to expedite the remediation of the
leachate stream a phased approach to site clean-up has been developed. The first
phase or operable unit addresses the leachate stream which originates from the unlined
lagoons, passes through a culvert, and into Bald Eagle Creek.
The cost-effective remedial alternative selected for this site includes:
covering of the upper reach of the leachate stream with natural soils, capping with
clay and grading contours of surrounding land for surface water management; partial
excavation of contaminated sediments and construction of a conduit drain in the lower
reach of the leachate stream; installation of a granular drain at the toe of the rail-
road embankment; and temporary disposal of excavated sediments in the storage facility
constructed on-site. The capital costs of the recommended stream remediation alterna-
tive is estimated to be $445,311. O&M for this operable unit consist of a visual
inspection of the area on a semi-annual basis for 30 years. The total O&M costs are
estimated to be $9,427.

16. ABSTRACT
The Enterprise Avenue site is located within the City of Philadelphia. It
encompasses approximately 57 acres and is situated within the 100-year flood plain of
the Delaware River. It has been determined that the site is contaminated with in-
dustrial and chemical wastes from the unauthorized disposal of approximately 5,000 to
15,000 drums containing paint sludges, solvents, oils, resins, metal finishing wastes,
and solid inorganic wastes.
The off-site disposal alternative was selected as the most cost-effective
remedial action. This alternative includes: resampling and analyzing the stock-
piled soils in 100-cubic-yard lots for key indicator parameters; on-site containment
of soils which do not exceed key indicator limits; off-site disposal at a RCRA
approved facility of soils which exceed parameter limits; grading, completion of clay
cap and cover, and site vegetation. The capital cost for the selected alternative is
estimated to be $4,324,000 and annual O&M costs are $4,200.

16. ABSTRACT
The Fischer & Porter Company, Inc. has operated at the same location since 1947
manufacturing water flow and industrial process control equipment. Trichloroethylene
(TCE) was used as a degreaser in the manufacturing process. TCE and perchloroethylene
(PCE) have been identified in the industrial water supply wells on-site and in munici-
pal water supply wells of nearby towns.
The selected on-site remedial measure includes: facility improvements to prevent
future releases of TCE and PCE; pumping wells and packed column aeration to reduce
effluent levels of TCE and PCE,-and discharge of treated effluent to a surface water
source according to State stream discharge requirements. Treatment of contaminated
municipal wells by packed column aeration towers, to reduce TCE and PCE to the 10~^
risk level, was also selected as a cost-effective remedial action.

16. ABSTRACT
The Harvey-Knott Drum Site is located in New Castle County, Delaware, approximately
one-half mile east of the Maryland-Delaware border. The Harvey and Knotts Trucking,
Inc., operated an open dump and burning ground on the site between 1963 and 1969. The
facility accepted sanitary, municipal, and industrial wastes believed to be sludges,
paint pigments, and solvents. Wastes were emptied onto the ground, into excavated
trenches, or left in drums (some of which were buried). Some of these wastes were
either burned as a means of reducing waste volume, or allowed to seep into the soil.
Contamination of soil, surface water, and ground water has occurred as a result of dis-
posal oL •Lose industrial wastes.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: cleaning the onsite drainage
pond by collecting and treating surface water; removal and offsite disposal of con-
taminated sediments, sludges, and bulk wastes to a qualifying RCRA facility; removal
and offsite disposal of all crushed or intact surface drums, debris, wastepiles, and
sludges to a qualifying RCRA facility; installation of ground water extraction and
treatment facilities to collect and remove contaminants in the shallow ground water;
applying treated ground water to flush contaminants from onsite surface and subsurface
soils; and preparation of the site surface for installing the flushing pipe network
which entails (a) grading the entire application area, (b) covering with a 24-inch
(see separate sheet)

16. ABSTRACT <
The Heleva Landfill site consists of a 20-acre landfill located on a 93-acre
tract of land in Lehigh County, Pennsylvania. The site is surrounded primarily
by farm and pasturelands, with the village of Onnrod (population approximately 100)
and town of Ironton (population 150) located approximately one quarter mile away.
The site began operations as a sanitary landfill in 1967, accepting 250-350 tons/day
of mixed refuse including paper, wood, and orchard wastes. In addition, industrial
w-si-.os './i.hh hl'jh levels oi: trichloroei-.hy'!..'.!-! (200 raicrograms/lite/) were yeni; to
the site as early as 1967. The site was closed in May of 1981 by the Pennsylvania
Department of Environmental Resources because of operational deficiencies.
The selected remedy for the Heleva Landfill site consists of extending an exis-
ting water main from Onnrod to Ironton, capping the entire 20-acre landfill according
to RCRA standards, constructing surface water diversion and gas venting systems, con-
ducting a pre-design study to fully delineate the source of contamination and
determine sinkhole activity, constructing a treatment facility on-site, pumping and
treating highly contaminated ground water, monitoring and sampling existing wells
and surface water, and conducting operations and maintenance for a period of at
least two years. The total capital cost of the selected remedial alternative is
estimated to be $7,253,000.

16. ABSTRACT *•
The Lackawanna Refuse site is located along a section of the north-south border
between the Borough of Old Forge and Ransom Township, in Lackawanna County, PA.
Five strip mine pits of five to six acres each were excavated in this area during
the last century, and three were later used for waste disposal in the 1970's. One
abandoned pit (Pit 5) contains about 15,000 buried drums of hazardous waste as well
.is imin^Tp"!. rqfiis?* Pit 5 is approximately five acres and is estimated to be 30-50
feet deep, iho pit 110.3 uaiy a uLin cover of soil abovti the *aste. Chu contents of
20 drums were sampled and found to contain various solvents, paints and thinners,
sludges, organic acids, and toxic mstals.
The selected remedial action includes: removal of all drums and highly contami-
nated municipal refuse from Pit 5 for disposal at a RCRA-regulated facility, clay
capping (with gas venting systems) of Pits 2, 3, and 5, installation of surface water
drainage diversion and construction of a leachate collection and treatment system for
all three pits, removal and disposal of the top layer of contaminated soil from the
bore hole pit and the access road, reconstruction of the road with appropriate
drainage and sedimentation controls, and removal of the dried paint and contaminated
soil in the paint spill area for off-site disposal of a RCRA-regulated facility. The
estimated total project capital cost for these remedial actions is $8,200,000.

16. ABSTRACT
The Lansdowne Radiation site consists of a duplex located at 105/107 East
Stratford Avenue Avenue in Lansdowne, Pennsylvania. The building is located
on a side street in a residential area, approximately two miles from Philadelphia.
The dwellings are contaminated with radium and other radionuclides as the result
of work done in one of the houses to refine radium and produce medical devices
from 1924 through 1944. Radiation levels in the houses exceed current EPA
guidelines and the Center for Disease Control has issued a Public Health Advisory
which states that, "..exposure levels are in excess of those considered safe
for human habitation."
The selected remedial action includes permanent relocation of the residents
in 105 and 107 East Stratford Avenue. This will entail purchasing the property
at fair market value under the Uniform Relocation Act.

16. ABSTRACT
The Lehigh Electric and Engineering Company site is located in Old Forge,
Pennsylvania and encompasses approximately 6.4 acres of property adjacent to the
Lackawanna River. Since the early 1960 's the site has been used by Lehigh Electric
as an electrical equipment repair and storage yard. The hazardous conditions at
the site were created by indiscriminate handling and disposal of PCBs. The site
investigation found that PCBs are concentrated in the surface soil layers from un-
detectable to 110,000 ppm.
The cost-effective remedial action selected for the site includes excavation
and off-site disposal of soils with a PCB concentration of 50 ppm or greater;
additional soil excavation and removal where cost-effective; demolition of the
buildings on-site; backfilling, grading, and vegetating of the site to minimize
erosion and to control percolation and run-off. The estimated capital cost for
this remedial action is $6,401,000 and monitoring and maintenance costs for the
site over a 30-year period is $46,000.

for storage of heating oil and gasoline. The site was purchased in 1972 by a
waste disposal firm that used the underground tanks to store a variety of liquid
and hazardous wastes. EPA analysis of the tank contents identified a wide variety
of organic and inorganic chemicals, including benzene, methylene chloride,
toluene, arsenic, chromium, and nickel.
The cost-effective initial remedial measures (IRM) selected for this site
include cleaning -and removal of underground waste storage tanks and excavating
and off-site disposal visibly contaminated soil. Additional soil analyses will
be performed to determine if further site action is necessary. The estimated
cost for this IRM is approximately $114,500.

16. ABSTRACT
The McAdoo Associates site is an eight acre track of land located in Schuylkill
County in northeastern Pennsylvania. It is situated approximately Ih miles south of
McAdoo Borough on U.S. Route 309. The site and adjacent area was once used extensively
for deep and strip mining of anthracite coal. Mining activities started in 1884 and
continued periodically until 1962. After the site was acquired by McAdoo Associates
in January 1975, two rotary-kiln furnaces and a vertical liquid waste incinerator
were installed and operated as part of a metals reclaiming operation. A log maintained
by McAdoo Associates shows acceptance of a variety of wastes from January 1977 through
November 1978. These wastes include: paint sludges, spent solvents, metallic sludges,
acid and caustic liquids, toluene, waste oil/water, solid wastes and other miscel-
laneous residuals. None of the incoming waste streams received prior to January 1977
were logged into the facility.
The selected remedial action for the McAdoo site includes: removal of the tank
and debris; limited excavation of soils with off-site disposal in a RCRA facility;
capping; diversion of surface water and maintenance of surface water diversion ditches
and cover. In addition, a comprehensive mining study to determine appropriate cap
design and an evaluation of the dilution factor will be undertaken during the design
phase. The total capital cost for the selected remedial alternative is estimated
to be $2,360,000.

16. ABSTRACT
The 1.7 acre Matthews Electroplating site is located in Roanoke County, Virginia,
approximately two miles west of Salem. Between 1972 and 1976, two buildings on the
site housed an automobile bumper electroplating operation. Groundwater sampling has
confirmed that a well at the plant was heavily contaminated with hexavalent chromium.
The off-site ground water investigation revealed that 10 local residential wells also
had chromium contamination.
The cost-effective remedy selected for this site is to provide municipal water
service to the affected neighborhood. The capital cost of this alternative is
estimated to be $662,000 and the present worth of operation and maintenance costs for
thirty years was estimated at $292,000.

16. ABSTRACT
The Moyer Landfill is an inactive privately owned landfill located in Lower Providenc
Township in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. The site was operated as a municipal land-
fill from the 1940's until April 1981, during which time it received municipal refuse
and sewage sludges. According to local Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) officials,
the landfill accepted a variety of solid and liquid hazardous wastes, including poly-
chlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), solvents, paints, low-level radioactive wastes, and
incinerated materials in bulk form and/or containerized in drums. In 1972, when the
Pennsylvania Dept. of Environmental Resources (PADER) rules and regulations became more
restrictive, this landfill was cited, and finally in 1981,it was closed and brought into
receivership of the U.S. District Court.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: interim soil clay capping, com-
posed of a material having a permeability of 10~4/10~5 cm/sec to a depth of 36";
erosion and sedimentation control measures; surface water diversion; leachate collection
treatment and discharge; extraction, scrubbing and upgrading methane gas for delivery
to the Philadelphia Electric Company (PECO); security/fencing measures; ground water
monitoring; and all closure activities in compliance with RCRA at the conclusion of the
gas generation phase (10 to 20 years). Total capital cost for the selected remedial
alternative is estimated to be $6,298,500 with O&M costs approximately $332,000 per
(see separate page) _^_________^___________

Abstract
Continued
year. This alternative contemplates broad remedial work and its implementation will
depend upon the success of the gas generation/recovery program and the contributions
from generators and other potentially responsible parties (PRPs).
If negotiations with the PRPs fail and/or the methane gas alternative fails, EPA
and PADER recommend: miscellaneous work preparatory to installation of a RCRA cap
(grading, flattening of steep slopes, retaining walls and installation of rip-rap
at areas that are most likely to be eroded); gas venting and monitoring; surface water
collection and discharge to Skippack Creek; leachate collection and treatment that
will meet the 1CT" risk level in the ground water and discharge requirements in the
stream; ground and surface water monitoring; and maintenance of the cap. Total
capital cost for this alternate remedial action is estimated to be $15,384,800 with
O&M costs of $343,100 per year.

16. ABSTRACT
The Sand, Gravel and Stone site consists of approximately 200 acres, and is .
located in Elkton, Cecil County, Maryland. The site was previously operated as-a
sand and gravel quarry under the name Maryland Sand and Gravelstone Company. Cur-
rently, the site is occupied by the Sand, Gravel, and Stone Company. It was reported
that about three acres onsite were used for the disposal of waste processing water,
sludge, still bottoms, and about 90 drums of solid and semisolid waste between 1969
and 1974. On July 16, 1974, 1,300 gallons of flammable products in drums were
reportedly received and djumped. On August 5, 1974, 5,000 gallons of nonflammable
materials were received at the site. Pits, excavated onsite, were used as surface
impoundments, where approximately 700,000 gallons of waste were dumped.
Remedial measures at the site will be implemented in two phases. Selected remedial
actions approved at this time include: excavation and offsite disposal of buried
materials (drums and/or trucks) at an approved RCRA facility; installation of shallow
ground water interceptors downgradient from the waste sources; collection and treat-
ment of contaminated ground water; recirculating the treated effluent to the ponds
and shallow aquifer or discharging to Mill Creek. Total capital cost for the selected
remedial alternative is estimated to be $7,095,000 with O&M costs approximately
$753,000 per year. The decision on the remedial measures for the contaminated soils,

16. ABSTRACT
The Taylor Borough site is located at the toe of Bald Mountain, approximately
three miles south of the City of Scranton. The population within a one mile radius
of the site is estimated to be 1,007 persons with approximately 265 residential
dwellings. The site is situated within a tract of land that was previously coal
mined and left unreclaimed with numerous open and surface mine spoil pits. Subse-
quent to the mining activities, unreclaimed portions of the 125-acre site were used
for a municipal landfill operation by the City of Scranton. Municipal waste was
disposed in the pits and the mine spoil material was used as a cover material. As
a result of the landfill operation, which ceased in 1968, the topography of the site
consists of relatively rolling terrain between steep slopes of mine spoil piles and
unreclaimed pits. In addition, after the landfill operation ceased, drummed indus-
trial wastes were found on the surface of the site.
The selected remedial action includes: removal and off-site disposal of
approximately 125 crushed and intact drums and remnants to a qualifying RCRA facility;
collection and treatment of contaminated surface water; excavation of contaminated
soils and wastes from the former drum storage areas for off-site disposal to a
qualified RCRA facility; proper backfilling and placement of a 24-inch soil cover
over the former drum storage areas and installation of a chain link fence around the
perimeter of both soil covered areas. Total r-anit-ai poet- ie 00+1™=.+-.^ 4-^ VVQ S4.237.non.

6. ABSTRACT ' —
The Tyson's Dump site is located in southeastern Pennsylvania, approximately 15
miles northwest of Philadelphia. The dump is an abandoned septic and chemical waste
disposal site which operated from 1960-1968. Unlined lagoons were filled with wastes
and covered, and new lagoons were created. Major contaminants found at the site were
volatile organic compounds, primarily xylenes, toluenes, and 1,2,3-trichloropropane.
In addition, chlorinated benzene compounds were also detected.
The cost-effective remedial alternative selected for this site includes excavation
and off-site disposal of contaminated soils and wastes; upgrading of the existing air-
stripping facility to treat leachate, shallow ground water, and surface run-on; and
excavation and off-site disposal of contaminated sediments within the tributary which
receives effluent from the existing air-stripping facility. The estimated capital
cost for the selected alternative is $5,718,000 and operation and maintenance costs
for five years are estimated to be $351,000.

16. ABSTRACT
The Wade site is a three-acre parcel of land on the banks of the Delaware
River. It is located nine miles south of Philadelphia in Chester, Pennsylvania. From
approximately 1950 until the early 1970's the site was the location of a rubber re-
cycling facility which shredded tires and other post-consumer rubber products. During
the early 1970's the site was converted to an illegal industrial waste storage and
disposal facility. Drums of waste were emptied either directly onto the ground or into
trenches, severely contaminating soil and the ground water. Approximately 150,000
gallons of waste chemicals remain on-site.
The recommended alternative selected for this site consists of: removal,
decontamination and disposal of on-site tires and tankers, removal of on-site waste
piles; demolishing buildings, leveling the site, and filling and grading the property
up to 12 inches over the existing grade to cover any protruding subsurface structures
which have not been removed; removal down to the depth at which the first acceptably
contaminated sample was found (based on a contamination cutoff level recommended by the
RI/FS contractor); and covering the site with top-soil and seeding the cap to
minimize erosion.

16. ABSTRACT
The American Creosote Works, Inc. (ACT) site occupies approximately 12
acres in a moderately dense, commercial and residential district of
Pensacola, Florida. Wood-preserving operations were carried out at the ACT
site from 1902 until December, 1981. Prior to 1950, creosote was
exclusively used to treat poles. Use of pentachlorophenol (PCP) started in
1950 and steadily increased in the later years of the ACT operations.
During its operations, liquid process wastes were discharged into the two
unlined, onsite surface impoundments. Prior to 1970, waste waters in these
ponds were allowed to overflow through a spillway and follow a drainage
course into Bayou Chico and Pensacola Bay. In subsequent years, waste
waters were periodically drawn off the ponds and discharged into designated
"spillage areas" on site. Additional discharges occurred during periods of
heavy rainfall and flooding, when the ponds overflowed the containment
dikes. Data gathered during the RI indicate that major contaminants in the
ground water are aromatic hydrocarbons common to creosote, such as,
polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and benzene, ethyIbenzene, toluene,
and xylene. In addition, onsite soil samples show that the areas where
wood-preserving operations were carried out are contaminated with PAHs.

ABSTRACT Continued
The selected remedial action for this site includes excavation of all
contaminated soils and sludges, both on and offsite, with consolidation and
onsite disposal in a landfill that meets RCRA standards. Total capital cost
for the selected remedial alternative is estimated to be $5,678,000 with
annual O&M costs approximately $50,000 for years 1-5 and $19,000 for years
6-30. At a later date the Agency will consider a second operable unit which
will involve the selection of an alternative for the Management of Migration
of contaminants in the ground water at the site. Operable units I and II
will be the basis for the site's remedial design.

ie. ABSTRACTThe Biscayne Aquifer is the sole underground source of drinking water for 3
million residents of southeast Florida, it is a highly permeable, wedge-shaped, uncon-
fined shallow aquifer composed of limestone and sandstone.
Three Biscayne Aquifer hazardous waste sites on the EPA National Priorities List were
addressed as one management unit for the remedial investigation and feasibility study:
(1) Miami Drum Site, (2) Northwest 58th Street Landfill, and (3) Varsol Spill Site. These!
sites are located near each other in north Dade County, Florida. The remedial actions
for the three hazardous waste sites are being addressed in four phases:
Phase I: Varsol Spill Site—immediate area soil and ground water.Record of Decisior
(ROD) signed 3/29/85.
Phase II: Miami Drum—source control (soils and encountered ground water), completed
September 1982. ROD signed 9/13/82.
Phase III: 58th Street Landfill—immediate area soil, surface water, and ground watei
Enforcement Decision Document (EDO)scheduled Fall 1985.
Phase IV: Study Area Ground Water—ROD signed 9/16/85.
The selected remedial action for Phase IV includes adding air stripping to the exist- !
Lng water treatment system in the study area and operating the Miami Springs and Preston j
municipal wells for the dual purpose of providing potable water and recovering contami-
nated water from the aquifer. Total capital cost for the selected remedial alternative is*
estimated to be $5,268,000 with O&M costs approximately $334,400 per year.

16. ABSTRACT
The Broward County Solid Waste Disposal facility (a.k.a. Davie Landfill) is located
10 miles southwest of Fort Lauderdale, Florida near the intersection of Orange Drive
and Boy Scout Road. The landfill area includes a 50-acre garbage landfill, an 80-acre
trash landfill and a 56-acre sludge lagoon. The facility began operation in 1964
accepting trash and ash from the county's adjacent garbage incinerator. In November
1971, the lagoon was created in an unlined natural depression onsite. Grease trap
pump-outs, septic tank and treated municipal sludges were disposed in the lagoon which
contains an estimated 75,000 cubic yards of sludge. Initial sampling of the lagoon
contents characterize the waste as being in the high range of typical wastewater treat-
ment plant sludge hazardous constituents. In addition, concerns have been raised about
the relatively high cyanide and sulfide concentrations detected.
The selected remedial action includes: dewatering and stabilization of the sludge
lagoon contents and placement in a single-lined sanitary landfill cell; and installatioi
of a cap on the cell that meets the regulatory requirements of 40 CFR 264.310(a). This
ROD addresses only source control measures. The decision concerning cleanup of ground-
water contamination will be made following an evaluation of these actions and monitorinc
data. Total capital cost for the selected remedial action is estimated to be $3.0-
$3.7 million with annual OSM costs of $100,000.

16. ABSTRACT
The Miami Drum Services site is a one-acre inactive drum recycling
facility located in Dade County, Florida. The soils on-site were con-
taminated by phenols, heavy metals, oil and grease, pesticides, and
other materials from the drum cleaning operation. A plume of unde-
termined composition has been identified in the groundwater underlying
the area, which has a high (one to three feet) water table. A 1981
suit, filed by Dade County against MDS, Inc., seeks injunctive
relief, recovery of all funds spent for site cleanup, compensatory
damages for harm to natural resources, and punitive damages.
The cost-effective remedial alternatives selected for this site
include: soil excavation to the extent dictated by engineering and
scientific judgment, and transportation and off-site disposal of
contaminated soils, as the First Operable Unit. The Second Operable
Unit will address the groundwater contamination plume through a
cooperative agreement work plan to conduct an RI/FS. The capital cost
for the selected alternative was estimated to be $1,568,660.09.

16. ABSTRACT v'
The Biscayne Aquifer is the sole source of drinking water for three million
residents of southeast Florida. Three Biscayne Aquifer hazardous waste sites on
the EPA National Priorities List were addressed as one management unit for the re-
medial investigation and feasibility study (RI/FS): 1) Varsol Spill Site (Miami
International Airport), 2) Miami Drum Site, and 3) Northwest 58th Street Landfill.
The Varsol Spill Site is located in the northeast section of Miami International
Airport (MIA). Industrial operations associated with a typical commercial airport
have resulted in hydrocarbon contamination of surface and ground waters in the vicin-
ity of MIA. Since 1966 there have been approximately 15 hydrocarbon spills and leaks
totalling approximately 2 million gallons, including the loss of an estimated 1.5
million gallons of varsol. In 1970, an unknown amount of jet fuel was spilled into
a drainage canal on-site. In April of 1981, construction activities revealed a
thick hydrocarbon layer floating on the water table in an excavated trench. One
responsible party installed 54 shallow observation wells. Samping results showed
that the hydrocarbon layer diminished with time. In another area, Dade County
installed 43 monitoring wells to determine the extent and magnitude of jet fuel
spilled. Recovery operations for this jet fuel are currently underway.

16. Abstract - Continued
Varsol Spill Site, Dade County, FL
The remedial investigation of the site showed no trace of varsol in and
around the airport at this particular time, thus the recommended alternative
for this site is no action. Several factors probably contributed to the dissi-
pation of the hydrocarbon layer in the aquifer. For example, some of the solvent
was recovered, biodegradation is believed to have taken place, and the hydrology
of the area indicates that some of the solvent contributed to and became part of
the "background" contamination in the aquifer. A further investigation of the
dissipation of the hydrocarbon layer will be conducted. This will be addressed
and the results will be presented in a separate ROD (Phase V) as part of the
remedy for the three sites referred to as the Biscayne Aquifer Superfund Site.

16. ABSTRACT A
The Whitehouse Waste Oil Pits site is located near the community of Whitehouse, FL
and occupies approximately seven acres of an upland area immediately adjacent to a
cypress swamp. Two major east-west highways, U.S. Highway 90 and Interstate 10,
are approximately 0.5 miles south of the site. A low-density residential area is lo-
cated west and northwest of the site, and several miles northwest of the site is the
Cecil Field U.S. Naval Air Station. The site itself consists of seven unlined pits,
constructed by Allied Petroleum, where waste oil sludge, acid and contaminated waste
oil from an oil reclaiming process were disposed. The first pits were constructed in
1958, and by 1968 the company had constructed and filled seven pits with approximately
127,000 cubic yards of waste. Allied Petroleum then went bankrupt. Consequently,
the pits were abandoned, and remained an "open dump" for several years. Recent activi-
ties have increased the volume of contaminated material to an estimated 240,000 cubic
yeards .
The selected remedial action includes: construction of a slurry wall around the
entire site; recovery and treatment of contaminated ground water; removal of the
contaminated ground water; removal of the contaminated sediments from the northeast
tributory of McGirts Creek; and capping the entire site. Total capital cost for the
selected remedial alternative is estimated to be $3,049,000 and operations and main-
tenance costs are estimated to be an additional $96,630 per year.

16. ABSTRACT
The site, a defunct waste solvent reclaiming/processing facility, is located
on three and three-quarters acres of land in Greenup, IL, and includes thirteen
steel storage tanks containing mixtures of waste oils contaminated with PCBs and
organics, sludges, spent caustics, spent acids, contaminated water and waste pro-
ducts. The tanks have a history of failure, creating a significant threat of
hazardous substance release. In addition, the site includes four storage lagoons
of contaminated sludge and soil which have a history of overflow problems.
The site is underlain by ten feet of silty material with a high permeability;
beneath this silt layer lies a sand and gravel aquifer which has been contaminated.
The site has a pronounced slope toward a river, is in a flood plain, and includes
porous soil and high ground water table.
The cost-effective Initial Remedial Measure (IRM) selected for this site includes;
off-site transportation and disposal of all contaminated bulk liquids, oils and
drums at a RCRA-approved facility. Additional actions will include a cooperative
agreement to conduct an RI/FS for soils, sludges and ground water contamination,
and the preparation of another ROD to address remedial actions necessary to mitigate
problems caused by the remaining contaminants. The capital cost of the IRM is
estimated to be $111,100.

16. ABSTRACT
The A&F Materials site is located on three and three quarter acres of land on West
Cumberland Street in Greenup, Illinois. The site is bounded by open farmland/woodland,
the Village of Greenup Wastewater treatment plant, and private residences. In addition
the City of Newton occasionally withdraws drinking water from the Embarras River, which
is located twenty-one miles downstream from the site. The A&F Materials facility
began operation in March 1977 and continued until it shut down in 1980. The operation
processed waste materials (including, but not limited to oil, sludge, caustic and
sulfuric acid) into fuel oil and fire retardant chemicals. During the course of
operations, there were numerous violations of the permit issued to A&F Materials by
the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency. By March 1978, four storage lagoons be-
came filled and began to overflow, contaminating soil and drainage pathways leading
to the Embarras River. In addition, twelve steel storage tanks containing a mixture of
waste oils, sludges, spent caustics, spent acids, contaminated water and other waste
products, were located on site. These tanks failed on several occasions, releasing
their contents into the surrounding environment.
The selected remedial action includes: removal and disposal of all soils contam-
inated over the recommended action levels, including soils containing greater than
1 ppm PCBs; monitoring of the ground water; cleaning and removal of on-site equipment

16. ABSTRACT
The Acme Solvents Reclaiming, Inc. facility is located approximately five miles
south of Rockford, Illinois. From 1960 until 1973, the facility served as a disposal
site for paints, oils and still bottoms from the solvent reclamation plant located
in Rockford. In addition, empty drums were stored onsite. Wastes were dumped into
depressions created from either previous quarrying activities or by scraping over-
burden from the near surface bedrock to form berros. In September 1972, the Illinois
Pollution Control Board (IPCB) ordered Acme to remove all drums and wastes from the
facility and to backfill the lagoons. Follow-up inspections revealed that wastes and
crushed drums were being left onsite and merely covered with soil. Sampling of the
site revealed high concentrations of chlorinated organics in the drinking water. The
major source of hazardous substances at the facility are the waste disposal mounds.
These mounds contain volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds and concentrations
of PCBs up to several hundred mg/kg-
The selected remedial action includes: a provision for an interim alternate water
supply to affected residences by installation of home carbon treatment units; excava-
tion and incineration of waste materials and contaminated soils, with disposition of
non-incinerable wastes to an offsite RCRA landfill; continued investigation of bedrock
contamination and remediation; continued investigation of contaminated ground water;

16. ABSTRACT
The Berlin & Farro Liquid Incineration site occupies 40 acres approximately
3.5 miles south of the City of Swartz Creek, Michigan. A liquid waste incinerator
was operated at the site from 1971 until the late 1970's, during which time liquid
wastes were incinerated, stored in open lagoons and underground tanks and poured into
agricultural drains. Solid wastes, contained primarily in crushed drums, were buried
in various on-site locations.
The selected alternative to mitigate the uncontrolled hazardous waste problem
at the Berlin & Farro site involves four areas. They are: excavation of the existing
drum landfill and disposal of sludge, crushed drums, liquid wastes and visibly con-
taminated soil at a RCRA facility; solids to be landfilled and liquids to be inciner-
ated. Also, excavation of the paint sludge trench and disposal of sludges and
visibly contaminated soil at a RCRA facility. Also, excavation of the agricultural
drains leaving the site and miscellaneous areas of visible contamination, and dis-
posal of wastes, sludge and visibly contaminated soil at a RCRA facility. Supplementa
sampling will be performed to determine if waste has migrated below visibly contam-
inated areas.

It. ABSTRACT A
The Bryon (Johnson) Salvage Yard site is located 4 miles southwest ofSyron,
Illinois and consists of 20 acres of woodlands in a rural, agricultural area. The
yard operated during the 1960's and early 1970's as a salvage yard and unpermitted
landfill. Domestic refuse and industrial drums have been collected and sometimes
buried on site. Ten surface water sampling points from nearby Woodland Creek and
Rock River, and three ground water sampling points have yielded high concentrations
of cyanide and other toxic chemicals including lead, arsenic, halogenated organics
and low-level PCB's.
The selected remedy for the Byron Salvage Yard consists of off-site disposal of
all surface and buried drums, off-site disposal of highly contaminated soils which
exhibit the EP toxicity characteristic, and in-situ treatment with sodium hypochlorite
and ammonia of all contaminated soil containing greater than 1 ppmcyanide. Off-site
disposal would include disposal at a lined, RCRA approved landfill and, if possible,
incineration or treatment of liquids. Total estimated cost for the selected remedial
alternative is estimated to be $1,170,919 and O&M costs would be an additional
$6,000 per year.

16. ABSTRACT
The Cemetery Dump Site is located in Oakland County, Michigan, approximately 35
miles northwest of Detroit. The 4. acre site was once used as a sand and gravel pit
which has been backfilled and cleared. Citizen reports allege that approximately 300
to 600 barrels were dumped and buried onsite in the late 1960s or early 1970s. In
September 1981, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources excavated and transported
offsite approximately 20 to 30 barrel fragments. Analysis of the barrel contents indi-
cated the presence of paint sludges, solvents, PCBs and oils.
This ROD is a source control remedial action that includes excavation and disposal
of approximately 250 drums at an offsite RCRA facility. Total capital cost for the
selected remedial action is estimated to be $1,883,261. Any additional remedial
actions will be addressed in a separate Record of Decision upon completion of the
RI/FS.

16. ABSTRACT
The site involves the city's single municipal well which supplies both the year-
round and summer tourist populations. The well flumes collect ground water and
lake water which are channeled into the system. Levels of TCE and PCE were de-
tected in 1981, and have been gradually rising. Data available indicate that
multiple sources of contamination are likely of historical origin at varying
distances from the well.
The cost-effective Initial Remedial Measure (IRM) selected for this site includes;
provide a safe permanent drinking water supply through conventional treatment of
water from Lake Michigan, and to conduct an RI/FS to evaluate potential sources of
contamination and the hydraulic characteristics of the aquifer. This IRM represents
the First Operable Unit. The capital cost for the IRM was estimated to be
$1,954,000, with O&M costs of $118,000.

16. ABSTRACT
The City of Charlevoix is located on the shores of Lake Michigan in Charlevoix
County. The City's single municipal well supplies potable water to a year-round pop-
ulation of 3500 which increases to approximately 5,000 during the summer tourist
season. In September 1981, while conducting tests for trihalogenated methane compounds,
the Michigan Department of Public Health (MDPH) detected trichloroethylene (TCE)
ranging in concentrations from 13 to 30 ppb in the Charlevoix water supply. Data from
the monitoring program showed gradually rising levels of TCE and perchloroethylene
(PCE) in the raw water. In June 1984, a Record of Decision was signed which approved an
initial remedial measure (IRM) for an alternate water supply to replace the contaminated
municipal well. The selected IRM consisted of a Lake Michigan water intake structure
and a water filtration/flocculation treatment plant.
The selected remedial action involves discharging the TCE and PCE plumes, under
natural flow conditions, to Lake Michigan. The aquifer would be useable after 50 years.
During that 50-year purging period, institutional restrictions on the installation of
private wells in the contaminated aquifer will be enforced by local health officials.
In addition, long-term monitoring of the plumes will continue. The estimated annual
O&M costs for monitoring are $17,000.

16. ABSTRACT
The Chem-Dyne site is located within the limits of the City of Hamilton, Butler
County, Ohio, which has an estimated 1980 population of 66,400. The site covers
approximately 10 acres of land, and lies within the bedrock aquifer of the Great
Miami River. The Chem-Dyne site probably began receiving hazardous substances as
early as 1974. Additionally, Spray-Dyne, one of the numerous Chem-Dyne "affiliated
companies", produced anti-freeze on site, by "recycling" chemical wastes and by
using virgin chemicals. By 1976, Chem-Dyne was a rapidly growing corporation storing,
"recycling", and disposing of almost every type of industrial chemical waste.
Operations of Chem-Dyne resulted in uncontrolled releases of hazardous materials. In
five years of operation the facility accepted waste from approximately 200 generators.
The materials handled included pesticides and pesticide residues, chlorinated
hydrocarbons, solvents, waste oils, plastics and resins, PBBs, PCBs, TRIS, acids and
caustics, heavy metal and cyanide sludges, and packaged laboratory chemicals. More
than 30,000 drums and 300,000 gallons of bulk materials were left on site when the
operation closed in February 1980.
The selected remedial action includes: installation of a ground water extraction
system with subsequent treatment of the contaminated water (air emissions from the
treatment system shall be treated by carbon absorption); demoliton of •onsite buildings

16. ABSTRACT
The Cross Brothers' uncontrolled hazardous waste site is located approximately
14 miles east of the City of Kankakee, Illinois, within Pembroke Township of
Kankakee County. The site consists of a 20-acre parcel of land surrounded primarily
by low density single family housing, Abner and James Cross operated a drum and
pail reclaiming operation at the site from 1961 until 1980. The operation employed
a crude process to incinerate the residue material that was contained in nearly all
of the drums and pails received for reconditioning. Essentially, the operation
consisted of inverting the containers to allow the residue materials to drain out
onto the ground. Then solvent would be added to the containers to dissolve any
remaining residue. Throughout the container reclamation process, the Cross Brothers'
operation was extremely haphazard, allowing the indiscriminant dumping of great
quantities of residues (largely dyes, paints, inks and solvents).
The selected remedial action includes offsite disposal of surficial and buried
waste materials and visibly contaminated soil. Total capital cost for the selected
remedial alternative is estimated to be $377,728.

16. ABSTRACT
The Eau Claire Municipal Well Field consists of a 500-acre site located in the
northwest corner of the city of Eau Claire, Wisconsin. The Eau Claire municipal
well system supplies drinking water to approximately 57,500 residents and to
numerous commercial and industrial establishments in the city of Eau Claire and the
town of Washington. In March 1981, as part of the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency Groundwater Supply Survey, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources
(WDNR) tested the Eau Claire municipal water supply for volatile organic compounds.
The following organic compounds were identified in the municipal water supply:
1,1-dichloroethene, 1,1-dichloroethane, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, and trichloroethene.
The selected remedial action includes construction of air stripping facilities
to remove volatile organic compounds from the contaminated flow (14 million gallons
per day (rngd)) from the north well field. The treated water will be discharged into
the municipal water treatment plant and distribution system. Total capital cost for
the selected remedial alternative is estimated to be $1,420,000 with O&M costs
estimated to be an additional $195,000 per year.

16. ABSTRACT
Forest Waste Disposal is located on a 112-acre tract of land, in a rural, residential
area in the southeast quarter of Forest Township, Genesee County, Michigan. This loca-
tion is approximately 12 miles northeast of Flint, and approximately 2 miles northwest of
the city of Otisville. Forest Waste Disposal is a closed, 15-acre landfill which was
Licensed from 1972 to 1978 to accept general refuse and industrial wastes. During the
course of operations, the facility accepted a variety of industrial wastes, including
slating wastes, paint sludges, and waste oils. The facility also accepted PBB and PCB-
rontaminated wastes, refuse from a chemical warehouse fire, and unidentified barrels
from Berlin and Farro hazardous waste site in Swartz Creek, Michigan. Although the
.andfill was permitted by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources to accept most of
these wastes, the facility was run in a haphazard manner. County Health Department
records on the site state that trenches were dug randomly, industrial wastes were buried
general refuse, and liquid wastes were discharged into the landfill and onto the
jround throughout the landfill's operation.
The initial remedial measure for this site will consist of a fence surrounding the
Dortions of the site which present an imminent hazard to public health from direct
contact with hazardous materials. Approximately 100 acres will be fenced. An RI/FS
be conducted to characterize and to determine the extent of onsite and offsite

16. ABSTRACT
The Kummer Sanitary Landfill occupies approximately 40 acres in the southern
portion of Northern Township, Beltrami County, Minnesota. The site was operated
as a solid waste facility from 1971 until October 1, 1984. During the period of
operations, municipal refuse, demolition debris, and industrial waste were
accepted at the site. However, the disposal of hazardous wastes was never docu-
mented at any time during operations. The landfill is situated above a shallow
surficial sand aquifer which serves numerous downgradient private wells east and
southeast of the landfill. At present, the Kummer Sanitary Landfill appears to
be the major source of volatile organic contamination found in private drinking
water wells in the area.
The selected remedial action includes provisions for an alternate water
supply. These provisions consist of constructing two wells in a deep uncontamin-
ated aquifer, a water tower and distribution system. Total capital cost for the
selected remedial alternative is estimated to be $1,624,850 with O&M costs
estimated to be an additional $28,440 per year.

16. ABSTRACT
The Laskin Poplar Oil site includes several storage tanks and
retention ponds of waste oils, on about 9 acres in northeastern Ohio,
Ashtabula County. The waste oils contain PCBs, phenols, PAHS, sludges
and other organics, and both soils and surface waters have become
contaminated. The site has been involved in mudslides and flooding,
and runoff and seepage into Cemetery Creek pose the most obvious and
immediate threat of environmental contamination.
The cost-effective remedial alternative for this site includes:
off-siteincineration of contaminated water and waste oil above and
below 50 ppm PCB, using established technology. The capitol cost for
the selected alternative was estimated to be $1,043,000; no O&M ac-
tivities were required for this Final Action.

16. ABSTRACT
The LeHillier/Mankato site is located in south-central Minnesota approximately
80 miles southwest of Minneapolis-St. Paul, adjacent to the City of Mankato. The
LeHillier area contained numerous natural and manmade depressions resulting from
changes in the channels of the Minnesota and Blue Earth Rivers, and from excavation of
sand and gravel. Between 1925 and 1960, these depressions were filled with miscel-
laneous rubbish. No records of the dumping activities or types of waste materials were
kept. In the fall of 1981, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) received
information alleging that hazardous wastes had been disposed of at several dumps or
fill areas in LeHillier. A followup investigation confirmed the existence of these
disposal areas and contamination of the shallow sand and gravel aquifer with volatile
halogenated hydrocarbons, primarily trichloroethylene (TCE).
The selected remedial action includes: extraction, with partial treatment by air
stripping, of the contaminated ground water plume through adaptation of eight existing
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE) ground water and flood control wells and constru-
tion of two new extraction wells; extension of the LeHillier community water system to
affected residents and businesses not currently serviced; and proper abandonment, in
accordance with State well codes, of individual wells formerly used as drinking water
supplies. This action will manage contaminant migration until contaminant levels

16. ABSTRACT
The city of Elkhart is located in north central Indiana in Elkhart County.
Three well fields supply drinking water to approximately 37,000 of the city's
residents. Main Street Well Field is the largest of the three well fields consist-
ing of 15 wells on 10 acres, and supplies 70-80 percent of the city's water needs.
In April 1981 during an U.S. EPA Groundwater Supply Survey, volatile organic compounds
were detected in water furnished from Main Street Well Field. The compounds detected
included trichlorethylene (TCE), 1,2-dichlorethylene, 1,1,1-trichlorethane and
1,1-dichlorethane. Concentrations of contaminants ranged from 2.0 parts per billion
(ppb) of 1,1-dichlorethane to 94 ppb of TCE.
The selected remedial action includes construction of air stripping facilities
to remove volatile organic compounds from the contaminated flow from the Main
Street Well Field. The treated water will be discharged to the existing water
treatment plan and distribution system. Total capital cost of the selected remedial
alternative is estimated to be $1,106,000 with O&M costs estimated to be an
additional $158,000 per year.

16. ABSTRACT
The Morris Arsenic site is located in Stevens County, approximately one mile
northeast of Morris, Minnesota. In the early 1940s, approximately 1,500 pounds of
arsenic-laced grasshopper bait was reportedly buried in a gravel pit near the inter-
section of Highways 28 and 59. The subsequent construction of the Highway 59
Bypass through the general location of the burial site has made the discovery of
the exact burial location difficult. It has been presumed that the arsenic was
mechanically dispersed during highway construction since top soil cleared from the
site for road bed preparation was later spread along the side slopes.
The site poses no imminent health hazard to the public due to the direction of
ground water movement from the site and the minimal population concentration within
the site specific area. In addition, levels of arsenic found in the soils at the
site are within the range of natural levels of arsenic in soil. Therefore, since
the site poses no significant threat to public health, welfare or the environment,
the "no-action" alternative was selected.

16. ABSTRACT
The municipal drinking water wells in the City of New Brighton/Arden Hills were
found to be contaminated with volatile organic solvents in June 1981. The City
opened two new wells in 1982 to reach a lower non-contaminated water aquifer. Since
discovery of the contamination, the levels of hazardous substances have increased in
the remaining undeepened municipal wells. The city is presently drilling two
additional deeper wells. However, these new wells will not be available until the
end of the year. Despite water restrictions, anticipated summertime peak demands for
water will not be met without drawing water from contaminated wells.
The cost-effective initial remedial measure (IRM) selected for this site is
treatment of the New Brighton/Arden Hills wells #5 and #6 with granular activated
carbon to meet anticipated peak summertime demands. The capital cost for this IRM
is estimated to be $150,400 and O&M costs are $30,526 for four months.

16. ABSTRACT
The municipal drinking water wells in the City of New Brighton/Arden Hills
were found to be contaminated with volatile organic solvents in June 1981. The
City opened two new wells in 1982 to reach a lower non-contaminated water aquifer.
Since it was first discovered, the contamination levels have increased in the re-
maining undeepened municipal wells to approximately 70 ppb trichloroethylene (TCE)
The Minnesota Department of Health has ordered several municipal and six private
wells closed. The users of the private wells are at present being supplied with
bottled water.
The cost-effective Initial Remedial Measure (IRM) is to extend the existing
water supply system to the New Brighton and Arden Hills private well users whose
wells have been found to be contaminated with TCE and other chlorinated organics.
Capital costs for the IRM are estimated to be $217,958.

The New Brighton/Arden Hills site is located immediately north of Minneapolis/
St. Paul, Minnesota. The "site" actually includes portions of the municipalities of
Shoreview, Arden Hills, Moundsview, New Brighton and St. Anthony. The site 'presently
consists of more than 18 square miles of ground water contaminated with volatile
organics. In June 1981, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) and the
Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) found organic solvent contamination in ground
water used for municipal drinking water in the City of New Brighton, which lies
immediately to the northeast of St. Anthony and Minneapolis. The original June 1981
sampling showed no contamination in the St. Anthony wells; but by late 1981,
unquantifiable traces of trichloroethylene (TCE) contamination began to appear in
city well number 3. From 1982 to 1984, TCE levels in well number 3 gradually rose
to the 8-10 ppb range with a peak level of 23 ppb. In addition, dichloroethylene
(DCE) levels gradually rose to levels averaging approximatley 1 ppb, with a peak of
1.7 ppb.
U.S. EPA installed granular activated carbon filters on two undeepened wells to
meet the peak summertime demand and an existing public water supply system was ex-
tended to affected private well users as approved in IRMs dated 6/24/83 and 9/19/83.
This initial remedial measure will consist of a temporary connection to an existing

16. ABSTRACT
The New Lyme Landfill is located near State Route 11 on Dodgeville Road in Ash-
tabula county, approximately 20 miles south of the City of Ashtabula, Ohio. The land-
fill occupies about 40 acres of a 100-acre tract. Operations began at the site in
1969, and were initially managed by two farmers. In 1971, the landfill was licensed
by the State of Ohio and operations were taken over by a licensed landfill operator.
According to documentation, the New Lyme Landfill received household, industrial, com-
mercial, and institutional wastes and construction and demolition debris. However,
numerous violations of the license occurred, including: open dumping; improper
spreading and compacting of wastes; no State approval for disposal of certain industri
wastes; and excavation of trenches into the shale bedrock.

16. ABSTRACT
Northernaire Plating is the site of a former electroplating facility located at
1002 Sixth Street in Cadillac, Wexford County, Michigan. Electroplating operations
were conducted at the 12.75 acre site from 1971 to 1981. Waste contaminants from electro
plating commonly include copper, nickel, chromium, zinc,lead, tin and cadmium, as well
as metal complexing agents. In 1978, two domestic wells were found to be contaminated
with hexavalent chromium. In addition, process waste waters containing cadmium and
chromium were discharged into the municipal sewer system. A private sewer line per-
mitted exfiltration of these waste waters through poorly sealed joints. A drywell in
the sewer line at the facility allowed plant effluent to be discharged directly to the
highly permeable unsaturated soil.
This ROD is a source control remedial action that includes: excavation of soils
and sewer line sediments to meet response objectives of 50 mg/kg chromium and 10 mg/kg
cadmium, and disposal offsite at a RCRA facility; cleaning the floor of the facility
of dust and residue; breaking-up a 30ft. X 10ft. area of the concrete floor and the
drywell in the building, sampling the soil for cadmium and chromium, and excavation and
disposal offsite at a RCRA facility, if necessary; and backfilling with uncontaminated
soil. Any additional remedial actions will be addressed in a separate Record of De-
cision upon completion of the RI/FS. Total capital cost for the selected remedial
action is estimated to be $75,000.

16. ABSTRACT
The Old Mill site is in the village of Rock Creek, Ashtabula County, Ohio.
The site consists of two parcels of land; the Henfield property and the Kraus
property. Land use in the vicinity of the site is represented by a mixture of
residential, agricultural, and commercial/industrial developments. The Henfield
property is approximately three acres, and includes four dilapidated wood buildings
and four concrete silos. The Kraus property is approximately ten acres, partially
covered with piles of railroad ballast, and has one empty abandoned bulk liquid
tank. In 1979, the U.S. EPA and Ohio EPA found approximately 1,200 drums of toxic
waste, including solvents, oils, resins and PCBs, stored on both the Henfield and
Kraus properties. Superfund emergency removal activities and enforcement actions
resulted in drum removal that began in November 1981 and was completed by October
1982. Today, contaminated soil and ground water remain on-site.
The selected remedial action includes: removal and off-site disposal of a
select volume of contaminated soil; extraction and treatment of contaminated ground
water; aquifer use restrictions; and providing alternate water supply. Total capital
cost for the selected remedial alternative is estimated to be $3,917,000 with O&M
costs approximately $45,000 per year.

16. ABSTRACT
The Outboard Marine Corporation (OMC) site is located north of Chicago on
the shore of Lake Michigan. It is the location of an outboard motor manufacturing
plant which used polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in its die cast machines for
about 20 years ending in the early 1970's. Discharges from the facility resulted
in highly contaminated sediment in Waukgan Harbor and contaminated soil in the
parking lot north of the plant and the "North Ditch," a tributary of Lake Michigan.
The cost-effective option considered for this site was excavation and off-
site disposal of PCs-contaminated material. This is the only option that meets
the requirements of TSCA and guarantees the halt of PCB migration. The cost of
this option is more than $75 million. Because of the high cost to implement this
option it was necessary to Fund Balance. Fund Balancing is appropriate where the
alternative that would fully satisfy the technical requirements of other environ-
mental laws is extremely expensive, and another alternative which approaches the
same level of effectiveness can be implemented for a much lower cost. The Fund
Balanced alternative for this site provides for off-site disposal of PCs contaminated
hot-spots and on-site containment of the moderately contaminated materials. The
cost of the Fund Balanced selected alternative is estimated to be $21.57 million.

16. ABSTRACT
The Reilly Tar and Chemical Site occupies 80 acres in St. Louis Park,
Minnesota. The Republic Creosote Works, which operated at the site between 1917
and 1972, fractionalized coal tar into various oils and produced creosote. The
wastes resulting from this process polluted the land surface of the site and four
underlying aquifers. The pollutants consisted primarily of polynuclear aromatic
hydrocarbons (PAH) and related coal tar derivatives.
The cost-effective remedial alternative selected for this site is treatment
of the St. Louis Park Well SLP-15/10 by a granular activated carbon (GAG) water
treatment system. GAC provides best available technology to restore drinking water
quality and will also help prevent the spread of contamination. The estimated total
capital cost is $750,000 and the first year O&M cost is estimated at $188,000.

6. ABSTRACT
The Schmalz Dump site is located in the town of Harrison, Wisconsin, on the
north shore of Lake Winnebago. The site occupies approximately five acres of
wetland in the federally designated Waverly Beach Wetlands area. According to
the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and court documents, industries
dumped wastes at various locations along the north shore of Lake Winnebago for
several years. Mr. Gerald Schmalz, site owner, began filling his property in 1968.
Records show that the wastes hauled there consisted of car bodies, stone, water
tanks, trees, pulp chips and mash. Between 1912 and 1973, the site accepted fly
ash and bottom ash from a local utility, and in 1978 and 1979 Mr. Schmalz accepted
the demolition debris from a building owned by Allis-Chalmers Corporation.
The selected remedial action includes excavation and offsite disposal of 3,500
cubic yards of contaminated building debris. Total capital cost for the selected
remedial alternative is estimated to be $2,088,300.

The Verona Well Field provides potable water to approximately 35,000 people
in the City of Battle Creek, water for three food processing industries and for a
variety of other commercial and industrial establishments. In 1981, county health
officials discovered that water from the Verona Well Field was contaminated with
volatile hydrocarbons.
The selected IRM consists of interceptor wells and air stripping to prevent
further deterioration of the well field. A carbon adsorption system will be
utilized to treat air emissions from the air stripping units. The selected IRM
also specifies a 6 MGD increase in water supply capacity to meet estimated peak
demand. The total capital costs for the selected alternative is $1,796,000. The
annual O&M cost for the project is $470,000.

16. ABSTRACT
The Verona Well Field is located approximately 1/2 mile northeast of Battle Creek,
Calhoun County, Michigan. The well field consists of three wells west of Battle Creek
River and 27 wells, with a major pumping/water treatment station, east of the river.
The Verona Well Field provides potable water to 35,000 residents of Battle Creek, and
part or all of the water supply requirements for two major food processing industries
and a variety of other commercial and industrial establishments. In 1981, county
health officials discovered that water from the Verona Well Field was contaminated with
volatile hydrocarbons. The Michigan Department of Natural Resources investigated
potential sources of the contamination, and identified the Thomas Solvent Company facil-
ities, the Grand Truck marshaling yard, and the Raymond Road Landfill as possible
sources of the volatile hydrocarbons.
An IRM was signed in May 1984 that provided for the installation of interceptor
wells and air stripping to prevent further deterioration of the well field. This
second remedial action is a source control measure that includes construction of a
ground water extraction well system to contain and collect contaminated ground water
in the vicinity of the Thomas Solvent Company's Raymond Road facility. Contaminated
ground water will be pumped to the existing Verona Well Field air stripper for treatment
In addition, air extraction wells will be installed to enhance the volatilization of the
VOCs from the contaminated soils. The next operable unit will address source control

16. ABSTRACT
The Wauconda Sand and Gravel Landfill site is located in Lake County, Illinois,
approximately two miles north of the Village of Wauconda. The 74-acre site is com-
prised of a 43-acre unpermitted landfill, a nine-acre permitted landfill, nine acres
which are excavated but unfilled, and 13 acres of perimeter site area. Before 1950,
the site property was used as a sand and gravel pit. From 1950 until 1977, Wauconda
Sand and Gravel Company operated the northern portion (43 acres unpermitted -fill) of
the site as a landfill. Landfill operations during this period consisted of
dumping refuse into the mined-out gravel pit. The refuse deposited at the landfill
consisted of residential garbage, construction debris, some industrial sludges and
drums with undetermined contents. In 1980, a private well adjacent to the eastern
boundary of the landfill was sampled by Illinois Environmental Protection Agency and
inorganic, organic and PCB contamination was detected. Additional investigations con-
cluded that PCBs, metals, and organics were contaminating the ground water and surface
water (Mutton Creek).
The selected remedial action for this site includes: installation of leachate col-
lection drains to stop surface leachate discharge into Mutton Creek; providing for
proper disposal of leachate (either at the Wauconda Sewage Treatment Plant, or a
hazardous waste treatment facility in accordance with Agency policy); regrading settled
(see attached page) .

6. ABSTRACT
The Bayou Bonfouca site, a 55-acre abandoned creosote works facility, is located off
of West Hall Avenue and Bayou Lane in Slidell, Louisiana. The site is a flat, mostly
overgrown parcel and is located primarily within a designated 100-year floodplain. The
earliest records of the Bayou Bonfouca site date back to 1904. The creosote plant
treated pilings for use in the construction of a railway across Lake Ponchartrain. Over
the years, the plant operated under the ownership of various creosote companies, with
the last property owner being the Braselman Corporation. On-site creosote waste deposit
have contaminated the floor of the bayou, two drainage pathways through the site, the
creek bottom, on- and off-site soil and upper groundwater zones.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: excavation, transportation and
disposal of creosote waste and the upper six inches of contaminated soil beneath the
creosote piles and debris at a RCRA landfill facility; and transportation and disposal
of contaminated water by deep-well injection at an approved RCRA facility. Additional
investigations will be undertaken to examine the contaminated drainage pathways, ground-
water zones, and bayou sediment. These areas will be addressed in a second remedial
action. Total capital cost for the selected remedial alternative is estimated to be
$903,000.

16. ABSTRACT
The Bio-Ecology site is an 11.2-acre tract located in Grand Prairie, Texas.
The site is bounded in all directions by private property and also on the east and
south by the tributaries of Old Mountain Creek. The Bio-Ecology waste disposal site
was a Class I industrial solid waste management facility which was permitted to:
(1) incinerate combustible liquids, slurries and sludges; (2) chemically treat acids,
caustics and other waste chemical solutions, excluding those containing heavy metals;
(3) treat waste waters using biological oxidation; and (4) landfill solids from other
treatment processes. The site was actively operated from June 1972 through 1978.
The cost-effective remedial alternative includes: raising the elevation above
the 100-year flood plain; construction of an on-site disposal cell with synthetic
liner and a leachate collection system; construction of a final cover, liner and
leachate collection and removal system in accordance with RCRA Part 264; stabilize
the waste and encapsulate in an on-site cell; construct a fence; and install a
ground water monitoring system in accordance with RCRA Part 264. The capital cost
for the selected alternative is estimated to be $2,709,600. Operation and maintenance
costs for the first year are estimated to be $20,000.

16. ABSTRACT
The Highlands Acid Pit site is located 16 miles east of Houston on a 6-acre
peninsula. The site is bordered on the west and south by the San Jacinto River,
on the north by a wooded area, and on the east by a sand pit. The site lies within
the 10-year flood plain and has subsided 2.4 feet since 1964. An unknown quantity
of industrial waste sludge was disposed of at the site in the 1950's. The sludge
is believed to be spent sulfuric acid wastes from a refinery process. Haste materials
at the site exhibit lew pH and elevated concentrations of organics and heavy metals.
Extensive excavation with off-site disposal was selected as the cost-effective
remedial action for this site. The selected remedy includes: excavating wastes to
the ground water level (approximate depth of 8-feet), off-site disposal to a RCRA
facility, backfilling the excavated area, constructing a temporary site perimeter
fence and performing ground water monitoring and site maintenance for 30 years.
Alternate Concentration Limits (ACLs) will be developed for this site. The capital
cost for the selected alternative is estimated at $2,407,000 with annual monitoring
and maintenance costs at $14,000.

The MOTCO site is located about two miles southeast of the City of LaMarque, TX
and occupies approximately 11.3 acres near the junction of State Highway 3 and the
Gulf Freeway. The site has been used for recycling styrene tars and disposal of in-
dustrial chemical wastes. Due to numerous complaints, the City of LaMarque passed an
ordinance prohibiting disposal of liquid wastes in surface impoundments which forced
the owners to close the site. Subsequent owners attempted to recycle the wastes in
the lagoons but later abandoned the project.
The cost-effective remedial alternative selected for this site involves transport
of surface water in the impoundments by pipeline to an industrial wastewater treatment

16. ABSTRACT
The Old Inger hazardous waste site is located midway between the cities of
Baton Rouge and New Orleans in Ascension Parish, Louisiana. The site was utilized
as an oil refinery and oil reclamation plant from 1967 to 1978. Approximately 41,600
cubic yards of waste oils, and heavily contaminated soils, sludges, and sediments
plus 2.5 million gallons of highly contaminated surface water and 7.5 million gallons
of slightly contaminated swamp water remain on-site. The waste materials include oil
contaminated with hazardous petrochemicals, various oil additives, and oil combustion
products. In addition, ten million gallons of slightly contaminated ground water con-
taining hazardous constituents are present in the shallow aquifer.
The cost-effective remedy includes: closing and sealing of an on-site well;
pumping and treatment of the shallow ground water aquifer via carbon adsorption; car-
bon adsorption treatment and discharge offsite of contaminated water; in-situ con-
tainment and capping of slightly contaminated soils; and on-site land treatment of
heavily contaminated soils and sludges. Decisions on the need for corrective action
for the intermediate aquifer, the level of cleanup for the shallow aquifer and the
contaminated wood remedy were deferred. The capital cost for the selected alterna-
tive is $3,174,000 and annual O&M costs are estimated to be $10,000.

16. ABSTRACT
The South Valley Site is located mostly in the inner valley of Albuquerque,
New Mexico. Industrial development in South Valley began in the 1950s. Early
industry included metal parts manufacturing. By the 1960s, organic chemicals
were being handled in the area. Presently, petroleum fuels and various other
organic chemicals are stored and handled within the area. South Valley has been
designated as the State's highest priority site for cleanup due to the presence
of potentially high concentrations of hazardous substances in the groundwater
near the city of San Jose's wellfield.
The selected remedial action includes installing a new water supply well to
replace the capacity of the contaminated well, San Jose No. 6. Total capital
cost for the selected remedial alternative is estimated to be $775,000 with O&M
costs approximately $12,000 per year.

16. ABSTRACT
Since November 1979, the Tar Creek watershed has received highly mineralized
acid mine discharges from flooded underground lead-zinc mines of the Picher Field in
Ottawa County, Oklahoma. Upon cessation of mining activities, drifts and shafts
of the abandoned mine works began to flood. The acid water reacted with the sur-
rounding rock causing many of the metals present to dissolve, resulting in high con-
centrations of zinc, lead and cadmium in the water. Discharge of these acid ground
waters at the surface has resulted in degradation of Tar Creek and could eventually
affect the Roubidoux aquifer which is the region's current water supply.
The cost-effective remedial alternative selected for this site includes:
diversion and diking at two major inflow areas and possibly a third if it becomes
an inflow site, the plugging of 66 Roubidoux aquifer wells, and implementation of
a monitoring plan. The capital cost for diversion at the three sites and well
plugging is estimated to be $4,000,000. The annual O&M costs are $5,000 for
monitoring.

16. ABSTRACT
The Triangle Chemical Company site is a 2.3 acre tract located on Texas
State Highway 87, just north of the Bridge City, Texas city limits. The Triangle
Chemical Company operated a chemical mixing and blending facility from the early
1970s until 1981. During the company's operating period, various types of
industrial cleaning compounds, automobile brake fluid, windshield washer solvents,
hand cleaners, and pesticides were produced. Raw materials and finished products
were stored onsite in bulk surface storage tanks and 55-gallon drums. Currently,
approximately 51,000 gallons of hazardous materials are stored in 12 above-ground
storage tanks.
The selected remedial action includes: incineration and deep well injection
of the tank and drum contents; decontamination of all onsite structures; offsite
disposal of trash and debris; and mechanical aeration of contaminated soils to
background levels. Total capital costs for the selected remedial alternative is
estimated to be $385,000 with O&M costs approximately $500 per year.

6. ABSTRACT
The Ellisville Area Site is located in St. Louis County, Missouri, about
twenty miles west of downtown St. Louis. The site is comprised of three non-
contiguous properties: the Rosalie Investment Company property, the Callahan
site and the Bliss site. Containerized and bulk liquid and solid wastes were
reportedly disposed of on these properties during the 1970s. The types of wastes
include solvents, oils, sludges, pesticides, and flammable gelatenous materials.
The selected remedial action includes:
Callahan Property. Stabilize and control erosion of the fill area;
remove and dispose the plastic cover over the fill area and the
cover's hold-down blocks; remove and salvage the barbed-wire and chain-
link fences around the site; and remove the gravel in the two drum
storage areas. Preliminary cost estimate for the remedial action is
$12,000.

The Minker Stout, Cashel, Sullins, Quail Run, and Sontag Road sites
are contaminated with 2, 3,7, 8 - tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (dioxin
or TCDD) greater than Ippb (CDC health advisory is Ippb TCDD soils
level in residential areas). The cost-effective remedial alternative
selected for these sites entails construction of a 50,000 cubic yard
interim storage facility at Times Beach. The facility will be a
concrete tank with a flexible cover protected from flooding. The work
at each site includes excavation of the TCDD-contaminated soil, storage
in the interim storage facility, temporary relocation of affected
residents, and all necessary restoration leading to reinhabitation.
The remedial action also includes construction of spur levees at Times
Beach to minimize and control erosion and transport of contaminated
soil particles in the event that flooding occurs before response
actions can be completed. Total cost of this remedial action is
estimated to be $15,734,000.

16. ABSTRACT
The Milltown Reservoir Sediments site is located in Missoula County, Montana.
The site is adjacent to the Milltown Dam where the Big Blackfoot River joins the Clark
Fork River. Constructed in 1906, this hydroelectric dam formed a reservoir that
trapped sediments from mining, milling, and smelting operations in the upper Clark
Fork Valley. During the years since construction, the reservoir storage has been
almost totally filled with arsenic contaminated sediments. In May 1981, Milltown1s
four community water supply wells were found to be contamined with arsenic and other
heavy metals. The highest arsenic levels measured have been between 0.54 to 0.90
milligrams per liter (mg/1).
The selected remedial alternative consists of: construction of a new well from
a hydraulically separate aquifer; construction of a new distribution system; flushing
the plumbing system of each house to remove suspended materials from the water system
and plumbing and testing the water quality in each house to assure that the arsenic
standard has been met. The capital cost for the selected alternative is estimated
to be $262,714 and annual O&M costs are $4,238.

16. ABSTRACT
Woodbury Chemical Company operated a pesticide manufacturing facility at 54th Avenue
and Jackson in Commerce City, Colorado, from the late 1950s to 1965 when the facility
was destroyed by fire. Fire rubble and debris contaminated with approximately 1,565
pounds of organochloride pesticides were disposed on an adjacent empty lot which is
the designated CERCLA site. Results of the remedial investigation show contaminated
soils and sediments onsite, contaminated sediments offsite, and pesticides in the
ground water; however, significant contamination is limited to the rubble piles. In
addition, several separate investigations, conducted between October 1976 and June 1985,
indicated three general types of contaminants: pesticides, metals, and other organic
compounds.
The cost-effective selected remedial action for this site includes: excavation and
offsite transport, incineration, and ash disposal of highly contaminated rubble (total
pesticide concentration in excess of 100 ppm) at an EPA approved incineration/disposal
facility; excavation and offsite disposal of contaminated soils, to a cleanup level of
3 ppm total pesticide concentration, at an EPA approved facility; backfilling with
clean soil, regrading and revegetating the site; and ground water monitoring and site
maintenance for a three-year period. Total capital cost for the selected remedial
alternative is estimated to be $1,417,000, which includes $21,000 for a three .year O&M
period. ________

16. ABSTRACT
The Celtor Chemical Works site is approximately 2.5 acres located at the north
end of the Roopa Valley Indian Reservation in Humboldt County, CA. The site was
operated as a sulfide ore processing plant from 1957 to 1962. The site was
abandoned in 1962 following California Department of Fish and Game citations for
pollution and fish kills in the nearby Trinity River. The most acute problems at
the site are the extremely acidic nature of the runoff and the high concentrations
of heavy metals in the soil. The selected initial remedial action for the site
includes excavation, transport, and off-site disposal of hazardous substances.
Off-site disposal is estimated to cost $340,000.

16. ABSTRACT
The Celtor Chemical Works site consists of approximately 2.5 acres, and is located
in the northern end of the Hoopa Valley in Humboldt County, CA. The Hoopa Valley Indiai
Tribe is the owner of the Celtor site. The Tribe leased the land in 1958 to the Celtor
Chemical Corporation which processed sulfide ore for copper, zinc, and precious metal
extraction. In June 1962, the company was delinquent in its royalty payments to the
Hoopa Valley Indian Tribe and as a result, abandoned the site. Mine tailings generated
from the milling operations were left onsite. These tailings, along with nonspecific
releases of processed ore^ are believed to be the cause of the acidic surface water
runoff and elevated metals concentrations in the soils throughout the site. In additioi
the tailings may have caused the numerous fish kills for which the California Depart-
ment of Fish and Game cited the Celtor Chemical Corporation.
Initial remedial actions were implemented at the site in October 1983, and included
excavation and offsite disposal of all visibly contaminated material. This material
included all tailings, non-concrete structures, and a portion of the pasture adjacent
to the site. The selected alternative for the second remedial action includes exca-
vation and offsite disposal of all soils contaminated above site-specific action levels
at a RCRA-approved hazardous waste disposal facility. Action levels for contaminants
in soil were based primarily on the acceptable range of contaminant levels in soil
(see separate sheet)

16. ABSTRACT
The Del Norte County Pesticide Storage Area Site, located approximately one mile
northwest of Crescent City, CA consists of less than one acre of land contaminated with
a variety of herbicides, pesticides, and volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds.
Interim and emergency storage activities that occurred during the site operations from
1970 to 1981 have resulted in the contamination of soil and ground water onsite.
Available documentation about the actual day-to-day site operations is inadequate.
However, site investigations revealed that a sump, approximately 15 feet by 20 feet,
is the primary area of soil contamination, with organic compounds detected to a depth
of approximately 15 feet below grade. It is suspected that wastes and/or rinse water
were disposed of in the sump. Primary contaminants detected in both soil and ground
water are 2,4-D and 1,2 dichloropropane.
The selected remedial action for the site includes: excavation and offsite disposal
of approximately 700 cubic yards of soils from the sump and trench areas to a RCRA ap-
proved facility; extraction of contaminated ground water; treatment of ground water
contaminated by organics and pesticides by carbon adsorption; offsite disposal of
spent carbon filters to a RCRA approved facility; treatment of chromium contaminated
ground water by coagulation and sand filtration technologies; offsite disposal of
chromium-rich waste brine to a RCRA approved facility; piping treated ground water to

16. ABSTRACT
The McColl site is located approximately 20 miles southeast of Los Angeles in
a residential area of Fullerton, California. The site was previously used as a dis-
posal area for acid sludge wastes from the production of high octane aviation fuel
during World War II. Oil field drilling muds were later disposed of on the acid
sludge. The waste is characterized by low pH and high sulfur content. Arsenic,
benzene, and organic sulfur dioxide (S02) and tetrahydrothiophene were also identified
in the waste and soil. Gases produced from the material include benzene, S02,
hydrogen sulfide and various odorous hydrocarbons.
The cost-effective remedy for the McColl site is excavation and redisposal of
the wastes. Total capital costs are estimated to be $21,500,000.

6. ABSTRACT
Mountain View Mobile Home Estates site is a residential subdivision
of approximately 130 people that was built in 1974 on graded asbestos
tailings and contaminated soil at the site of the defunct Metate
Asbestos Company mill. The mill processed asbestos ore from 1953 until
it was closed in 1974 by permanent injunction of the Gila-Pinal
Counties Air Quality Control District for failure to meet air quality
standards. Residents of Mountain View Estates are exposed to asbestos
fibers from tho subdivision's contaminated soil and potentially from
the fiber piles of an adjacent asbestos mill. The selected remedial
alternative includes permanent relocation of Mountain View residents,
cleaning the site and demolishing and burying on-site all of the homes
and sewage treatment plant, and site closure by capping, fencing, and
periodic inspection and maintenance.
Theestimated cost of the remedial action is $4,432,000 which
includes the present worth of capital and O&M costs for the project
life.

16. ABSTRACT
The San Gabriel Area I site is affected by one of four contaminated ground water
plumes affecting the San Gabriel ground water basin, approximately 40 miles east of
Los Angeles. Testing of wells by the California Department of Health Services (DOHS)
found areas of the basin contaminated with trichloroethylene (TCE), tetrachloroethylene
(PCE), and other chlorinated hydrocarbons. The DOHS has set Action Levels for TCE
and PCE at the EPA suggested no adverse response level (SNARL) of 5 ppb and 4 ppb,
respectively, ^h^ three mutual water companies whose wells have been affected by the
contamination serve a population of approximately 200,000.
The selected initial remedial measure (IRM) is installation of an air stripping
system to treat contaminated ground water from the affected water mutual wells. The
capital cost for the project is $525,000 and annual O&M is estimated to be $38,000.

16. ABSTRACT
The Stringfellow site is located in Riverside County, approximately five miles
northwest of the City of Riverside and one mile north of the community of Glen Avon.
The Stringfellow site which encompassed approximately 17 acres, potentially affects
the Chino III ground water basin which is used for industrial and agricultural pur-
poses and as a domestic drinking water supply for approximately 40,000 residents.
During the site operation from 1956 to 1972, approximately 34 million gallons of
toxic waste were disposed of at the site. Past disposal techniques included dis-
charging liquid wastes, mainly acids and heavy metals, to ponds for solar evaporation
and spraying liquid wastes into the air to accelerate evaporation. Substances dis-
posed of include heavy metals such as chromium and cadmium, acids including sulfuric
acid, and organics including DDT and TCE. The selected remedial alternative involves
initial remedial measures to fence the site, maintain the existing cap, and
control erosion; interim source control for off-site disposal of leachate extracted
above and below the on-site clay barrier dam, and reimbursement to the State for
source control measures.

16. ABSTRACT
The Stringfellow Acid Pits site is located in Riverside County, five miles north-
west of the City of Riverside and one mile north of the community of Glen Avon. The
site was operated by the Stringfellow Quarry Company from August 21, 1956 to November
19, 1972 as a hazardous waste disposal facility. Approximately 34 million gallons
of industrial wastes, primarily from metal finishing, electroplating and DDT produc-
tion, were deposited in evaporation ponds on site. The disposal area totals 17
acres.
The selected initial remedial measure includes installation of an on-site pre-
treatment system consisting of lime precipitation for heavy metal removal and granu-
lar activated carbon treatment for organics removal. Pretreatment will be followed
by discharge to a publicly owned treatment works (POTW) system. Also, additional
interceptor and monitoring wells will be installed to extract contaminated down-
gradient ground water.

16. ABSTRACT
The Taputimu Farm is a facility owned by the government of American Samoa and
is the territory's primary repository of unused and out-dated agricultural chemicals
and pesticides. The facility is constructed of plywood walls with a corrugated
metal roof and is located approximately a quarter mile from a public beach.
The remedial action alternative selected for this site involves repacking or
overpacking the chemical/pesticide materials stored at the Taputimu Farm, decon-
taminating the storage facilities and sealing the decontaminated surfaces, and trans-
porting all the waste materials to the U.S. mainland for disposal. The cost of
this remedial action is estimated to be $160,000.

16. ABSTRACT
The South Tacoma Channel, Well 12A is in the City of Tacoma, WA, and lies within
the Commencement Bay drainage area. In Sept. 1981, Well 12A was voluntarily removed
from service by the city when chlorinated organic solvents were detected. During
1982, volatile organics were discovered in nearby Well 9A which was also closed. A
ground water study confirmed that should the contaminated wells closest to the
source remain shut down, pumping <~>f the other production wells would draw the con-
taminated plume throughout the well field.
The cost-effective Initial Remedial Measure (IRM) is to pump and treat water
from Well i2A. Pumping of the well will assist in confining contaminant movement
within the aquifer. Air stripping will occasionally allow the city to use the water
when its quality is acceptable. The cost of the project is estimated to be
$1,200,000. Operation, maintenance, and monitoring costs are estimated to be
$60,000 annually.

16. ABSTRACT
Ponders Corner, or the Lakewood site as it is identified in the National Priorities
List, is located in Pierce County, Washington, south of the city of Tacoma. In July
1981, EPA sampled drinking water wells in the Tacoma, WA area for contamination with
purgeable halocarbons. The sampling showed that Lakewood Wells HI and H2 were contami-
nated with 1,2-dichloroethylene (1,2 DCE), trichloroethylene (TCE), and tetrachloro-
ethylene. In mid-August 1981 Lakewood water district took wells HI and HI out of pro-
duction. ,
It was determined that the septic tanks and the ground disposal area of a commercial
cleaners were the probable source of well water contamination. Solvents used in the
dry cleaning process were disposed in the septic tank and liquid wastes consisting of
solvent-contaminated sludges and water draw-off were disposed on the ground outside the
cleaners. Initial Remedial Measures (IRMs) implemented in June 1984 at the site in-
cluded the construction of air stripping towers for wells HI and H2. The recommended
alternative for this second remedial action includes: operation of the H1-H2 treatment
system to continue cleanup of the aquifer; installation of variable-frequency con-
trollers on the well pump motors; changing fan drives to reduce treatment tower air flow
installation of additional monitoring wells, upgrading existing wells, and continuing
routine sampling and analysis of the aquifer; placement of administrative/institutional
(see spearate sheet)

16. ABSTRACT w
The South Tacoma Channel, Well 12A site is in the City of Tacoma, Washington,
and includes industrial, commerical and residential areas. Well 12A is one of 13
wells used by the City to meet peak summer and emergency water demands. Research into
the past ownership and activities on these properties indicated that waste oil and
solvent reclamation processes and paint and laquer thinning manufacturing occurred on
the site. As a result of these processes, both the underlying ground water aquifer
and portions of the surficial soils show contamination with organic solvents.
The selected remedial action includes: air stripping of the ground water (continue
to operate the IRM); extract and treat the ground water at the source to remove vola-
tile organics; drill and sample additional soil test borings during the design phase,
remove an appropriate length of railroad track adjacent to the Time Oil property and
excavate; perform additional undercutting; install the drain field piping in the ex-
cavated areas and cover with a permeable material; pave or place soil cover on the
portions of the unpaved Time Oil parking lot; transport and dispose of all excavated,
contaminated soils in a RCRA-permitted landfill; maintain institutional controls; moni-
tor ground water and after two years of operation, evaluate the effectiveness of the
ground water extraction and treatment system. Total capital cost for the selected re-
medial alternative is estimated to be $1,590,000, and O&M costs are estimated to be an

16. ABSTRACT
The Western Processing site occupies approximately 13 acres in Kent and King
Counties, WA. Originally Western Processing was a reprocessor of animal byproducts
and brewer's yeast. In the 1960's the business expanded to recycle, reclaim, treat
and dispose of industrial wastes, including waste oils, electroplating wastes,
waste pickle liquor, battery acids, flue dust, pesticides, spent solvents, and
I . dross. The facil'-'^ ;r presently inactive and consists of 10 buildings in poor
repair, a solvent recycling plant, a fertilizer-plant, 72 bulk storage tanks of
varying capacities, drum storage areas with 2,000 partially filled drums and 3,600
._-i%>i_y drums, piles of flue dust, and battery chips. Ihe soil and ground water samples
confirmed that hazardous substances had been released into the environment. Among
the more hazardous contaminants found on or below the site are chloroform, benzene,
1,2 -dichloroethane, trichloroethylene, phenol, arsenic, cadmium and cyanides.
The surface clean-up and stormwater control project is the first operable unit
of the overall remedial action at the site. The main elements of the selected
alternative include: characterize all materials identified for removal,-removal of
all bulk liquids, drummed liquids, and waste piles to a permitted off-site facility
for disposal or incineration; removal and proper disposal of all transformers and
substation equipment; demolition and removal to a permitted off-site facility of all
on site ^uildj-ng^^^dismantling of all on-site bulk storage tanks. Capital Cost $5.0

16. ABSTRACT
The Western Processing site occupies approximately 13 acres in Kent, King County,
Washington. Originally, Western Processing was a reprocessor of animal by-products
and brewer's yeast. In the 1960s the business expanded to recycle, reclaim, treat and
dispose of many industrial wastes, including waste oils, electroplating wastes, waste
pickle liquor, battery acids, steel mill flue dust, pesticides, spent solvents, and
zinc dross. Some of the Pacific Northwest's largest industries had contracts with
Western Processing to handle their wastes. In March 1981, EPA inspected the site and
found numerous RCRA violations. Further investigations found extensive contamination
of soil, surface water and ground water both on- and offsite. This prompted EPA to
issue a CERCLA Section 106 order in April 1983, requiring the owners/operators to cease
operations immediately. Current investigations have found approximately 90 of the 126
priority pollutants in the soil or ground water on and off the Western Processing site,
or in Mill Creek.
In August 1984, the first remedial action was approved and a group of over 190 PRPs
eventually agreed to undertake surface cleanup and stormwater control actions. This
second remedial action includes: intensive soil sampling and analysis on- and offsite
during the remedial design; selective excavation and offsite disposal of highly con-
taminated soils, drums and buried wastes in Area I (about 10% of the material in the
