16. ABSTRACT
The Auburn Road Landfill site, located in the Town of Londonderry, New Hampshire,
consists of approximately 200 acres which contain four documented hazardous waste
disposal areas. The site was owned by Ms. Hariclia Thomopoulus from 1931 until 1974,
when Mr. George Thomopoulus inherited ownership from his mother. In 1977, the present
owner, Derry Sand and Gravel, Inc., purchased the site. Prior to the 1960s, activities
at the site consisted of sand and gravel excavation. Between 1964 and 1974, the New
Hampshire Division of Public Health issued permits to the Town of Londonderry to operat
separate sections of the Thomopoulus property as disposal sites currently referred to as
the Town Dump, the Tire Dump, the Septage Lagoon, and the Solid Waste Landfill.
Although authorized for disposal of only municipal refuse, tires and demolition debris,
all four source areas contain evidence of disposal of industrial wastes including
numerous exposed and partially buried 55-gallon steel drums. In August 1979 the State
of New Hampshire required that.no more drums be accepted, and later the same year, the
New Hampshire Water Supply and Pollution Control Commission found contamination of
surface water and ground water caused by VOCs. In January 1980, landfill operations
were terminated on the entire site. Ground water, used as a drinking water source for
approximately 275 homes and 260 mobile homes - all within a one-mile radius of the site
is the principal problem of concern. The primary contaminants of concern include: VOCi

16. ABSTRACT -
The Baird & McGuire site encompasses approximately twenty acres in Holbrook, Norfolk
County, MA. Wetlands occupy approximately 44 percent of the site with approximately 66
percent of the site lying within a 100-year flood plain. Baird & McGuire, Inc. (BMI)
operated a chemical mixing and batching company from 1912 to 1983. Between 1954 and
1977 the company was fined at least 35 times by the EPA for numerous violations.
Consultants to the Town of Holbrook reported that BMI's disposal practices from 1959 to
1962 were the source of ground water and wetlands contamination. In February 1982 a
citizen's complaint of an oily, substance on the Cochato River initiated a site
inspection which reported surface water, ground water, and wetlands contamination. BMI
was also found to be in violation of hazardous substance hauling practices. In March
1983 heavy rains caused a breach of the creosote collection lagoon resulting in an
EPA-initiated Immediate Removal Action. This action included: the removal of
approximately 1,000 cubic yards of contaminated soils, construction of a clay cap,
installation of a ground water interception/recirculation system, and erection of
limited fencing. In May 1983, Holbrook revoked BMI's permit to store chemicals and
ordered it to dismantle the existing storage facilities. Dioxin, detected in surficial
soil samples in July 1985, prompted an EPA-initiated second removal response involving
the installation of 5700 feet of fencing and extensive soil, ground water, surface

16 ABSTRACT
The Industri-plex site is a 245-acre industrial park located in Woburn,
Massachusetts. Various manufacturing facilities operated on the site from 1853 to
1968. During these years the site has supported manufacturers of sulfuric acid (and
related chemicals), animal hide glue, arsenic insecticides, acetic acid, dry colors and
munitions; and producers of organic chemicals including phenol, benzene and toluenes.
Prior to 1934, waste materials appear to have been randomly disposed of over a wide
area. The wastes were used to fill lowlands, wetlands and shallow ponds, and as
construction material to build "dikes and levees to contain liquid wastes. After 1934
wastes were deposited directly on top of the existing deposits and reached heights in
excess of forty feet above natural grade. The presence of hazardous substances was
detected in 1979 when the current owner of the site, Mark Phillip Trust, began
developing portions of the site. As site development began to encroach on the buried
animal glue manufacturing wastes, a very strong and pervasive "rotten egg" odor was
released. Despite repeated citizen complaints and notices of violations issued by the
MDQE, the Trust continued its development of the site. Portions of stockpiled wastes
sloughed off, releasing hydrogen sulfide gases to the atmosphere and toxic metals and
soils to the pond and wetlands. Large areas of the contaminated soils are exposed at
the surface thereby allowing individuals and animals to come in direct contact with

arsenic, chromium and lead. Other contaminants of concern include benzene
and toluene.
The selected remedial alternative for this site includes the following
actions. For contaminated soils and sludges: site grading; installation of
a permeable soil cover cap over certain areas; implementation of
institutional controls; water quality monitoring; and post closure
maintenance consistent with RCRA regulations. For ground water: an interim
remedy of pumping "hot spot" areas and ground water treatment to control
odors, air stripping to remove VOCs and discharge to the upgradient portion
of the aquifer; and ground water monitoring. For air: stabilization of the
side slopes of the East and West Hide Piles; installation of a gas
collection layer; installation of a synthetic membrane cap to establish
impermeability; and treatment of gaseous emissions with either activated
carbon or thermal oxidation with the final treatment selection to be decided
after the impermeable cover has been installed; implementation of air
quality monitoring program; and routine maintenance. The estimated capital
cost for the entire remedial action is $12,302,300 or $12,612,000 depending
on air treatment with annual O&M of $285,500 or $311,000 depending on air
treatment.

16. ABSTRACT
The Kellogg-Deering Well Field site, also known as the Smith Well Field, is a
100-acre public supply well field in southwestern Fairfield County, along the western
bank of the Norwalk River, Norwalk, CT. The well field is owned and operated by the
Norwalk First Taxing District Water Department (NFTD) serving approximately 45,000
people. The primary source of public water supply to the NFTD is surface water from
four reservoirs, with ground water as a secondary source. In 1975, trichoroethene (TCE
was discovered in the ground water. Between 1975 and 1980 the Connecticut Department o
Environmental Protection performed onsite sampling and initiated investigations at
several local industries since the well field is being impacted by contamination outsid(
the site boundaries. The potential primary source of ground water contamination is
located to the eastern edge of the site area. Contaminants are migrating with the
ground water from areas of high concentration toward the well field. The movement is
partially influenced by the pumping of the production wells. TCE is the primary
contaminant of concern. Other identified contaminants include: PCE, 1-2-DCE, methylen
chloride, xylenes, and benzene.
The selected remedial action for this site involves air stripping of the contaminatet
ground water and subsequent discharge into the existing conventional water treatment
plant and distribution system; and air and ground water monitoring. The estimated
capital cost associated with this remedy is $69,751 with annual O&M costs of &52.S36.

16. ABSTRACT
The Tinkham Garage site encompasses 375 acres of residential and undeveloped land in
Londonderry, NH. Approximately 400 people reside within a condominium complex on*"the
western boundary of the site. Additional housing i'ncludes private, one-family homes
within site boundaries to the north. An unnamed tributary and an attached intermittent
stream branch through the condominium complex and discharge into Beaver Brook, which
discharges to the Merrimack River further south. The 100-year flood plain forms an
approximately 2-acre wetland at the tributary's confluence with Beaver Brook. The flood
plain widens considerably south of the complex forming a 66-acre wetland. In addition,
a 57-acre wetland exists to the southeast of the site. Some residents within the site
continue to use the bedrock aquifer for drinking water purposes. Ground water in the
bedrock discharges to the tributary via surface and ground migration. Between 1978 and
1979, waste disposal activities behind Tinkham garage included the direct surface
dumping of liquids and sludge from tank truck washings. In April 1978 citizen
complaints of foam and odors in a small unnamed brook resulted in a site cleanup and the
excavation of a diversion trench to direct surface run-off. The RI, completed in
January 1986, documented contamination from volatile and extractable organic compounds
associated with ground water in overburden and bedrock aquifers, surface water and in
soil located in the field behind Tinkham garage and in the condominium complex.

16. ABSTRACT (continued)
Specifically, contaminated soil within the complex was associated with the
individual domestic waste leaching fields for a number of buildings within
the complex. Two other source areas existed within the complex: a refuse
area for disposal of soils excavated from the leach fields; and a low lying
contaminated swale area in close proximity to the unnamed tributary. The
swale is suspected to be another site of direct discharge of liquid wastes
to the ground surface. The primary contaminants of concern include: VOCs,
organic sludges and metals.
The selected remedial action includes: excavation of approximately
10,800 cubic yards of contaminated soils behind Tinkham garage; field work
and analytical modeling to determine the need for the removal of additional,
potentially contaminated soils in the condominium complex; onsite treatment
of all excavated contaminated soils by either aeration, composting or soil
washing; regrading and revegetation of excavated source areas after treated
soils have been returned to their original locations; reconstruction of any
removed leach fields; restoration of wetlands where contaminated soils are
excavated; extraction and offsite treatment of contaminated ground water at
Derry, NH publicly owned waste water treatment works, which may lead to
offsite pretreatment; and ground water monitoring onsite and offsite. The
estimated capital cost is $2,058,000 with annual O&M of $874,000.

16. ABSTRACT
The Winthrop Landfill consists of two contiguous parcels of 11 acres, with
approximately 9.5 acres located along the western shore of Annabessacook Lake in the
Town of Winthrop, Maine. The site was initially used in the 1920s as a sand and gravel
pit. In the 1930s, parts of the site became the Winthrop Town Dump, accepting mixed
municipal, commercial, and industrial wastes. The site received hazardous substances
between the early 1950s and mid-1970s. It is estimated that more than 3 million gallons
of chemical wastes, mostly complex organic compounds including resins, plasticizers,
solvents, and other process chemicals, were disposed at the site. Wastes were openly
burned until 1972, and landfilling occurred from 1972 until 1982.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: the extension of an alternate
water supply to residences in close proximity to the landfill; construction of a chain
link fence around the landfill, and imposition of deed restrictions prohibiting use of
the landfill for activities other than the remedial action; prohibition of ground water
withdrawals for purposes other than remedial action; prohibition of excavation in the
landfill, except for residential construction or remedial action; quarterly sampling of
monitoring points in sensitive areas; grading and placement of a RCRA cap over the
entire landfill; completion of engineering design work (geologic, hydrogeologic, and
treatability pilot studies); and establishment of an Alternate Concentration Limit (ACL)

for each contaminant in the ground water based on RCRA Section 264.94(b)
criteria. If the ACL is exceeded, installation and operation of an
interceptor system and construction and operation of a water treatment
facility northeast of the landfill will be implemented. Total capital cost
for the selected remedial alternative is estimated to be $6,000,000. O&M
for the recommended alternative is estimated at $42,000 per year if the ACL
is not exceeded. Should the ACL be exceeded, O&M of the ground water
extraction and treatment system, along with monitoring and cap maintenance,
will cost between $360,000 and $1,480,000 per year, depending upon the
method used to treat the contaminants. Under the terms of the Consent
Decree, Inmont Corporation and the Town of Winthrop will provide funding for
O&M at the site.

16. ABSTRACT
The Brewster Well Field, located on the northern bank of the East Branch Croton
River, is three-quarters of a mile east of the Village of Brewster, .Town of Southeast,
Putnam County, NY. The land to the north and westy containing the community of Brewster
Hill and the Village of Brewster respectively, is largely residential, while most of th
land south of the site area is occupied by commercial or light industrial facilities.
Since 1954 when Well Field No. 1 was developed, the Village of Brewster has used the
aquifers beneath the Village-owned land as a water supply source. In 1967 Well Field
No. 2 was brought on line. The two well fields consist of a total of 18 shallow wells.
In 1978 evidence of volatile halogenated organic compound contamination from an
unidentified source first appeared. Five alternative water sources were subsequently
added to the water supply system. Prior to drought conditions arising in 1981, East
Branch Croton River surface water was also used at times to supplement the water supply
system. Since 1979, the Village of Brewster has conducted studies to identify potential
alternative ground water sources and to test spray aeration as a potential treatment
method for VHO removal. In 1984 under a Cooperative Agreement with the EPA Office of
Research and Development, the Village installed a fullscale packed column for treatment
of the entire Village supply. It has been concluded that treatment of existing sources
is the most promising of the alternatives for solving existing contamination

16. ABSTRACT
The Caldwell Trucking Company site is a 12.2-acre property in Fairfield Township,
Essex County, NJ which is bordered by light industry to the north, west, and southwest
and is directly across from the Essex County Airport property. Approximately 45 small
businesses are situated within one mile of the site. The nearest major residential are
is about 1,000 feet northeast of the site. The Passaic River is located about 4,000
feet northeast and is used as a public water supply. Numerous residential wells north
of the site are no longer in use and most of the residents now use municipal water. Th
Caldwell Trucking Company was incorporated by the State of NJ in 1946 for the purpose o
cleaning residential septic tanks. For a number of years, Caldwell emptied septic
systems and transported the waste to an old slaughter house property (now part of the
Caldwell site) for disposal in one of the open, unlined lagoons present on site. Based
on information supplied by Caldwell in 1973, wastes would be treated with a disinfectan
such as sodium hypochlorite and allowed to settle. Later, the "clarified" liquid layer
would be pumped out and transported by tank truck to a large seepage lagoon where the
liquid would percolate quickly through the sandy soil. In the mid-1950s light industry
developing in the area, may have discharged hazardous substances into their septic
systems to be subsequently pumped out and deposited on the Caldwell property. There
were also other trucking companies who brought septic substances to the site, which may

have been mixed with hazardous wastes. There are also indications that
spent solvents and other industrial liquid wastes were disposed of in onsite
lagoons. In 1972 seepage and odors from the site revealed that Caldwell was
disposing of septic waste in this manner without the necessary permits.
They were licensed to transport waste but were not an approved disposal
facility. A 1973 application to operate as a sanitary landfill was denied
by the NJDEP. Subsequently, Caldwell backfilled all lagoons except one,
which was covered with plywood. At the start of the RI in 1982, the
Caldwell property showed almost no visible signs of a septic waste disposal
facility. The source of contamination, which had been deposited in unlined
lagoons, had been backfilled 12 years earlier. The primary contaminants of
concern include: VOCs, TCE, PCBs, PAHs, inorganics, and lead.
The selected remedial action includes: excavation and treatment, via
heat addition, of approximately 28,000 cubic yards of contaminated soils and
waste materials; disposal of treated soils in a secure landfill to be
constructed at the site in accordance with RCRA requirements; restoration of
a last potable water resource by providing treatment, via air stripping, of
municipal public water supply well number 7; provision of an alternate water
supply for residents potentially affected by ground water contamination from
the site; preparation of a supplemental RI/FS to identify the extent and
other sources of ground water contamination and to develop and evaluate
appropriate remedial alternatives. Estimated capital costs for this
remedial action are $5,490,000 with annual O&M costs of $48,000.

16. ABSTRACT
The Combe Fill North site is located in Mount Olive Township, NJ, near the
intersection of U.S. Highway 206 and Interstate 80. The former landfill comprise^ 65
acres of the 103-acre property. The area surrounding the site is primarily wooded, with
small residential areas, farms and light industry nearby. Approximately 10,000 people
rely on ground water supplied from wells downgradient of the site. Between 1966 and
1978, the site operated as a sanitary municipal landfill, accepting municipal,
vegetative, and non-chemical industrial wastes, along with small amounts of dry sewage
sludge. From September 1978 until January 1981, the landfill was owned and operated by
the Combe Fill Corporation (CFC). During this time, CFC was repeatedly cited for
violations of New Jersey solid waste administration codes. In 1979, public outrage at
the disposal practices of CFC led to formation of SMOTHER (Save Mount Olive
Township-Halt Environmental Rape), a public action group which conducted ground water
sampling and initiated procedures to include the Combe Fill North site on the NPL.
During the RI, ground water, soils, leachate, sediments and surface water were sampled.
Low levels of volatile organics were found in soils and leachate, and hexachlorobenzene,
phenol and bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate were detected in low concentrations in ground
water samples.

16. ABSTRACT
The Combe Fill South Landfill site is located in Morris County, New Jersey, 20 miles
west of Morristown. The site consists of a 115-acre parcel of land owned by the Combe
Fill Corporation which contains three separate fill areas comprising 65 acres. Illegal
waste disposal is suspected in two fields northwest and southeast of the site. The site
is situated on a hill, causing runoff to drain almost radially from the site. Leachate,
ground water and surface runoff constitute the headwaters of Trout Brook, which flows
through Hacklebarney State Park. The brook is stocked with trout and is used for
recreational purposes by park visitors. A large portion of nearby wetlands area was
cleared to construct the landfill. The Combe Fill South Landfill was operated for 40
years as a municipal landfill, permitted to accept municipal and non-hazardous
industrial wastes, sewage sludge, septic tank wastes, chemicals and waste oils. Testing
indicated that the fill material consists mainly of highly decomposed rubbish, and that
no "hot spots" or localized sources of hazardous substances exist. Cover at the site is
extremely poor, leading to infiltration of leachate into underlying aquifers. The
primary contaminants of concern are VOCs, including TCE, PCE, toluene, benzene and
methylene chloride, which have contaminated the shallow and deep aquifers that are the
primary source of potable water for local residents.

16. ABSTRACT
The Florence Land Recontouring (FLR) Landfill is a 60-acre site located on Cedar Lane
Extension in the Townships of Florence, Mansfield, and Springfield in Burlington County,
New Jersey. The site consists of a 29-acre landfill, two lagoons, a pond and two tanks,
and is located in a combined residential-agricultural area. The site is bounded by land
purchased by Burlington County for a new 600-acre "solid waste management facility and by
Assiscunk Creek, a tributary to the Delaware River which is used for recreation and
irrigation. The FLR landfill was operated as a solid waste disposal facility from late
1973 to late 1981 and was permitted to accept sanitary and non-chemical industrial
wastes. In 1975, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection investigated
chemical waste disposal at the site and disclosed that 95 tons of hazardous waste
consisting of phthalates, heavy metals and vinyl chloride monomers had been illegally
disposed at the site. Elevated levels of hazardous substance have been discovered in
soils and groundwater within the landfill.
.The selected remedial alternative includes: construction of a synthetic membrane and
clay composite cap, a circumferential soil/bentonite slurry containment wall, an
upgradient ground water interceptor system and a new stormwater management system;
leachate treatment and disposal at a POTW or the Burlington County Solid Waste Complex;
gas collection and treatment; removal and disposal of lagoon liquids and sediments, and

6. ABSTRACT
The Hyde Park landfill, approximately 15 acres in area, is located in the northwest
corner of the Town of Niagara, New York. It is immediately surrounded by several
industrial facilities and property owned by the Power Authority for the State of New
York (PASNY). Th Niagara River, an international waterbody, is located 2000 feet to th
northwest. Between 1954 and 1975, Occidental Chemical Corporation (OCC) disposed of
approximately 80,000 tons of chemical wastes at the landfill and 0.6 to 1.6 tons of
2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) contaminated material. Between 1975 and
1979, OCC, pursuant to directives from the State, implemented a number of remedial
actions. These actions included capping the site, and installing a shallow tile drain
and a ground water monitoring program. Soil and ground water are contaminated with
VOCs, organics, toluene, phenol, PCBs and dioxin.
The selected remedy for this site includes: installation of a prototype purge well
system to extract non-aqueous phase liquids (NAPL) for destruction by incineration;
installation of an overburden tile drain system; implementation of engineering controls
for an industrial protection program designed to eliminate exposure to nearby workers;
installation of ground water wells as part of a residential community monitoring
program; installation of the first stage of a bedrock NAPL Plume Containment System;
installation of two to three purge wells as an aqueous phase liquid (APL) Plume

16. ABSTRACT
The Kentucky Avenue Well Field, part of the Elmira Water Board (EWB) public water
supply system, covers approximately 12 square miles in the south central part of themung
County, New York. The site is at the confluence of two major valleys within the Chemung
River Basin and is boardered by Newton Creek on the eastern perimeter. The major part
of the valley is primarily residential and commercial, with little or no agricultural
usage. The Kentucky Avenue Well Field, part of the EWB network of wells and reservoirs
serving area residents, was closed in September 1980 following the discovery of elevated
levels of TCE. The Chemung River and the Newton Creek aquifer are the primary sources
of drinking water. Results of continued ground water sampling conducted by the Chemung
County Health Department, New York State Department of Health, New York Department of
Environmental Conservation, and EPA, showed that the TCE was found throughout the Newton
Creek aquifer. EPA initiated a removal action in March 1985 to provide alternate water
supplies to impacted residences not connected with the public water distribution
system. Between March 1985 and March 1986 a two-phase hookup connected 43 homes to the
public water distribution system. Studies to identify current private well residences
requiring public water distribution system hookup and plume migration investigations are
continuing. The primary contaminants of concern include: TCE, vocs, and chlorinated
solvents.

16. ABSTRACT
The Lang Property site is a 40-acre parcel of land in a sparsely populated rural area
of Pemberton Township, Burlington County, New Jersey. The site is flat and consists of
an unpaved access road leading to a 4-acre clearing. Unauthorized disposal of hazardous
wastes appears to have occurred over a 2-acre area within the clearing. Abandoned
vehicles, tires and other debris are scattered throughout the site. The site is locatec
within New Jersey's Pinelands National Reserve, a forest expanse nationally recognized
as a valuable environmental resource, and is within the 100-year flood plain. In June
1975, 1200-1500-drums of unidentified chemical waste were discovered in a clearing at
the end of the.unpaved road. In 1976, Edward and Florence Lang, owners of the property,
were ordered by the State to remove all drums and contaminated soil. Prior to removal,
the contents of the drums were apparently spilled onto the ground or disposed of in what
has been described as "onsite lagoons". The contents of the drums appear to be the
source of contamination occurring at the site. The main contaminants of concern at the
Lang Property are VOCs and metals, which have contaminated soils, sediments, ground
water, and surface water on site.
The selected remedial action at the Lang site includes: excavation of approximately
6500 cubic yards of contaminated soils and waste material with offsite disposal at an
approved landfill; extraction and onsite treatment of contaminated ground water with

6 ABSTRACT
The Marathon Battery Company (MBC) site, located in the Village of Cold Spring,
Putnam County, NY, has two components: the East Foundry Cove Marsh (EFCM), and
Constitution Marsh. The site began as a battery manufacturing plant in 1952, producing
military and commercial batteries for a period of 27 years. During this time the site
property changed ownership and its name several times. It operated as the MBC from 196
to 1979. Approximately 50,000 kg of cadmium were discharged into the EFCM as a result
of MBC's wastewater treatment system. A bypass valve, used during system overloads and
shutdowns, diverted flow to EFCM. This occurred at least twice weekly for periods of
time ranging from a few hours to a full operating shift. In 1965 the New York State
Department of Health ordered the plant to disconnect its industrial discharge from the
Village's sanitary sewer upon concluding that the battery plant's process effluent coul
not be managed by a new proposed sewage treatment system. Accommodating the directive,
the plant shut down the diversion pumps and bypassed the entire wastewater flow into th
storm sewer to EFCM. Between September 1972 and July 1973 hydraulic dredging of the
channel, which connects EFCM to Constitution Marsh, removed approximately 90,000 square
meters of sediment. Approximately 4,000 cubic meters of dredged material were then
retained in a diked enclosure constructed over a parking lot on the battery facility
property. During the dewatering process, the sediments were allowed to settle and the

6. ABSTRACT
The Metaltec/Aerosystems site is located at the intersection of Maple, Gibson, and "
Wildcat Roads in Franklin Borough, Sussex County, New Jersey. The property consists of
an abandoned manufacturing facility that once produced metal ballpoint pen casings,
paint spray guns, lipstick cases and other assorted metal parts. The site is presently
used to assemble ice machines and the manufacture of glassware for research purposes.
In its current state, the site contains several sources of hazardous substances that
pose a threat to public health and the environment. These sources include a back filled
lagoon area, two open areas which adjoin the Metaltec building, and an open parcel of
land located near the swamp at the northeast corner of the site. These parcels of
property exhibit high levels of pollutants and contaminants in the soil and the
underlying ground water. Hazardous substances detected include trichloroethylene,
trans-1,2-dichloroethene, vinyl chloride, and copper.
The cost-effective remedial action selected for this site includes: excavation and
treatment via heat addition (rotary dryer) of approximately 10,000 cubic yards of
organic contaminated soils within Parcel 1 and offsite disposal at an approved landfill;
excavation and offsite disposal of approximately 4,000 cubic yards of contaminated soils
within Parcels 2, 3, and 4; preparation of a supplemental RI and FS to identify the
extent of ground water contamination and develop and evaluate appropriate remedial

6. ABSTRACT
Price Landfill (also known as "Price's Landfill Number One" and "Price's Pit") is a
26-acre site located in Egg Harbor Township and Pleasantville City, Atlantic County, NJ
approximately six miles northwest of Atlantic City, NJ. The relatively flat site is
located within the 11,600-acre watershed of Absecon Creek. Land use in the immediate
area consists of residential properties, small business properties, sand and gravel
excavations, and undeveloped rural lots. Price landfill was originally a sand and
gravel excavation operation owned by Mr, Charles Price, which ceased operating in 1968
when the pit was excavated to within approximately two feet of the water table. In
1969, the facility became a commercial solid waste landfill and in May 1971, began
accepting a combination of both drummed and bulk liquid waste. Some liquid wastes were
poured directly into the landfill from open tank truck spigots. Other waste was buried
in 55-gallon drums, some of which were punctured or opened prior to disposal. An
estimated 9.1 million gallons of chemical wastes were disposed of at the site. In 1980,
residential wells in the area were found to be contaminated with volatile organic
compounds, and the Atlantic County Health Department recommended that their use as a
potable water supply be discontinued. As an interim measure, potable water was providec
from tank trucks and, in December 1981, 37 affected residents were connected to the New
Jersey Water Company (NJWC) System. During the summer of 1982, EPA and the State of NJ

implemented initial remedial measures to assure against the contaminant
plume reaching the Atlantic County Municipal Utilities Authority (ACMUA)
public water supply wellfield. These measures included the construction of
an interconnection with the NJWC system, redevelopment of three ACMUA
production wells, installation of granular activated carbon filtration
units, and implementation of a water conservation program. In September
1983 EPA issued a Record of Decision based on the results of a 1982 RI/FS.
The selected option included: abandonment of the ACMUA existing upper and
lower Cohansey aquifer water supply wellfield; relocation and replacement of
the ACMUA wellfield and transmission facilities to provide a 13.5 million
gallon per day capacity and consideration, in addition to the wellfield
relocation, of plume management, source control, and ground water treatment
alternatives. The primary contaminants of concern include: VOCs, organics,
inorganics, and TCE.
The selected remedial action includes: installation of a security fence
around the landfill site; installation of ground water extraction wells
adjacent to the landfill to control the contaminant source; installation of
ground water extraction wells hydraulically downgradient from the landfill
to abate the contaminant plume; construction of a ground water/leachate
pretreatment facility at or near the site; construction of a force main to
the ACMUA interceptor system; extraction of contaminated ground water,
followed by pretreatment, and ultimate disposal and treatment at the ACMUA
waste water treatment plant; quarterly monitoring of ground water quality
for approximately 25 years; and construction of a landfill cap at the
conclusion of the ground water extraction process. The estimated capital
cost is $9,050,000 with annual O&M for years 1-5 of $1,010,000 and $255,000
for years 6-25.

16. ABSTRACT
The Rockaway Borough Well Field site is located in Rockaway Borough, Morris County,"
New Jersey, and consists of three municipal supply wells which are in a glacial aquifer
designated by EPA as the sole source aquifer for Rockaway Borough and the surrounding
communities. High concentrations of TCE and PCE have been detected in the aquifer since
1980, but no sources of contamination have been identified. In 1981, the Borough of
Rockaway constructed a three-bed granular activated carbon adsorption system to treat
contaminated well water. Treatment has effectively reduced volatile organic contaminant
concentrations in finished water to less than 1 part per billion (ppb). Although
thirteen VOCs have been detected in the well water, TCE and PCE are the primary
contaminants of concern. The site was listed on the NPL in December of 1982, and the
RI/FS was initiated in 1985.
The selected remedial action for the Rockaway Borough site includes: Rockaway
Borough maintaining the existing filtration system and modifying operations to ensure
compliance with Safe Drinking Water Act standards; and EPA continuing the RI/FS in an
attempt to identify the source and extent of contamination and evaluate additional
remedial action alternatives to address source control. Estimated capital cost of this
remedial action is zero with annual O&M costs of $74,800.

16. ABSTRACT
The Sharkey Landfill site comprises approximately 90 acres in the Parsippany - Troy
Hills and East Hanover Townships, Morris County, NJ. The site consists of 4 *•
disconnected areas: North Fill, South Fill, Northwest Fill, Southwest Fill. Two
aquifers are found at this site. The upper aquifer, which comes into contact with fill
material in portions of the landfill, primarily drains into the bordering Rockaway and
Whippany Rivers. These rivers are used for recreational activities, and the Rockaway
serves as a potable water source further downstream. The Passaic Valley Water
Commission utilizes this aquifer for public supply. The lower aquifer completes a
public supply well in East Hanover Township. In 1945 the site began accepting municipal
solid waste from NJ counties. Between 1962 and 1969, Ciba-Geigy Co. allegedly disposed
of 753,000 Ibs. of hazardous and/or toxic materials. From April 1972 to May 1972,
25,700 tons of non-chemical wastes and 1,160 tons of "liquid and/or chemical wastes"
described as cesspool-type, and sludge from the adjacent Parsippany-Troy Hills Sewage
Treatment Plant (PTHSTP) were also deposited at the site. Between 1979 and 1981 refuse
was removed from the South Fill portion of the site and re-disposed in the North Fill
area for a PTHSTP expansion. Currently, landfill contaminants have migrated and
continue to migrate into the shallow aquifer beneath the site and the adjacent surface
water bodies. Although available data do not suggest that significant quantities of

16. ABSTRACT
The Syncon Resins site encompasses approximately 15 acres and is .located in a heavilv
industrialized area of northern New Jersey. The Syncon Resin facility produced alkyd
resin carriers for pigments, paints, and varnish products. In the production process
excess xylene or toluene was separated from the wastewater and reused in subsequent
reactions. The remaining wastewater was subsequently pumped to an unlined leaching pone
(lagoon) to evaporate or percolate into the soil. The sampling performed during the
remedial investigation indicated extensive onsite contamination in the soil, ground
water, building dirt/dust, and stainless vessels and tanks. Four general classes of
chemical contaminants were found onsite: organic compounds, pesticides, PCBs and metals
The cost-effective remedial action selected for this site includes: removing the
contents of the storage tanks and vessels for offsite disposal; decontaminating
buildings and tank structures as necessary; excavation of lagoon liquids, sediments and
grossly contaminated surface soils and dispose offsite; install a cover over the site
that allows natural flushing; pump and treat ground water; and conduct supplemental
studies to evaluate methods which enhance the effectiveness of flushing and/or treatment
and destruction of contaminated soils. The estimated capital cost for the selected
remedial action is $5,600,000 and annual O&M costs are approximately $209,000.

16. ABSTRACT
The Vestal Water Supply Well 1-1 is located in the Town of Vestal, Broom County, NY
on the south bank of the Susquehenna River with an industrial park immediately to the
southeast of the well, and several marsh areas and drainage ditches encompassing and
interlacing the industrial park. Well 1-1 is one of three production wells in Water
District 1 intended to provide drinking water to several water districts in the Vestal
area. In 1978 a chemical spill at the IBM plant in Endicott, a town across the
Susquehenna River, led to a testing program for all drinking wells in the vicinity for
synthetic compounds. As a result of this testing, significant concentrations of
chlorinated solvents were discovered in well 1-1, and the well pumpage was diverted to
the Susquehenna River where it presently continues to discharge under a NPDES permit.
Subsequent investigation has since indicated that the presence of chlorinated solvents
in the well is not related to the spill at the IBM plant. In late 1982 an
investigation, contracted by the Town of Vestal, implicated, in part, the area around
the southeast corner of Stage Road as a suspected source. This is an area which borders
with the industrial park along Stage Road. In July 1985 the EPA rejected a PS
recommendation to construct a large capacity water main between Water Districts 1 and 5
in order to improve the reliability of the District 1 supply. This recommendation was
rejected because the agency believed that a sufficient capacity of good quality water

16. ABSTRACT
The Army Creek Landfill (ACL), formerly known as the Llangollen Landfill, is located
approximately two miles southwest of New Castle, Delaware, and is adjacent to the
Delaware Sand and Gravel Landfill Superfund site. ACL, a former sand and gravel quarry
is owned by New Castle County. The County operated this 44-acre landfill, which
accepted municipal wastes, from 1960 until its closure in 1968 when it was filled to
capacity. An estimated 1.9 million cubic yards of refuse were landfilled at the site,
30 percent of which (or approximately 600,000 cubic yards) now lies below the seasonal
high water table. In late 1971, water in a residential well downgradient of the site
developed quality problems. Results from a subsequent investigation showed that
leachate, most likely originating from the Army Creek and Delaware Sand and Gravel
Landfills, was contaminating local aquifers. This lead to the installation of a ground
water recovery system designed to maintain a ground water divide between the landfills
and the Artesian Water Company Wellfield located downgradient of the landfills. The
primary contaminants of concern include: VOCs, inorganics, heavy metals, benzene, and
chromium.
The selected remedial action for this site will be implemented in a two-phased
approach. Phase 1: Install a RCRA type cap to minimize infiltration of rainwater.
Capping of the landfill will include site clearing, regrading of the existing cover

vents, and construction of drainage ditches to direct run-off away from the
landfill; continue operation of the downgradient recovery well network;
evaluate the capping system and the downgradient pumping network for five
years after the cap is installed. This evaluation will include, but not be
limited to, monitoring water levels, pumping rates and water quality. Phase
2: After the five year evaluation period, a determination will be made on
whether to install upgradient controls to intercept lateral ground water
inflow on the northwestern boundary of the landfill; continue monitoring the
water levels, pumping rates and water quality as in Phase 1; O&M will
include as a minimum, regular inspections and, as necessary, repairs to the
RCRA cap. The ground water recovery system will be monitored to assure that
it is capturing the contaminated plume. The estimated capital cost for this
two-phased remedial action is $12,030,000, or $12,340,000 with upgradient
controls. O&M costs are estimated at $306,000, or $388,000 with upgradient
controls.

16. ABSTRACT
The Blosenski Landfill site is located on 13.6 acres in West Cain Township, Chester
County, PA. The site is bordered by heavily wooded and agricultural areas.
Approximately 467 residents live within one mile of the site. Beginning in the 1950s
the site operated as a landfill accepting municipal and industrial wastes. In 1971 the
site was purchased by Mr. Joseph Blosenski, who operated the landfill until the early
1980s. Wastes were randomly dumped on the surface during the operating period, and
included solvents, waste water treatment sludges, demolition and construction wastes,
undercoating materials and open and leaking drums. Numerous citizen complaints of
odors, smoke and airborne debris led to petition and regulatory actions against Mr.
Blosenski. In 1982, EPA conducted a Site Inspection and found serious ground water
contamination. The primary contaminants of concern are VOCs including benzene, toluene
and TCE, and inorganics including lead, cadmium, chromium and mercury.
The selected remedial action for the site will be conducted in four phases. Phase I
- installation of a public water supply to 12 residences; Phase 2 - excavation and
removal of buried drums and other material with offsite disposal in a RCRA landfill;
Phase 3 - perform a pre-design study to further sample ground and surface waters to
delineate extent and magnitude of contamination. Based on the results of the study,

16. ABSTRACT
Bruin Lagoon is located about 45 miles north of Pittsburgh in Bruin Borough, Butler
County, PA. The site occupies over four acres and is located along the western b&nk of
the South Branch of Bear Creek, approximately seven miles upstream of the creek's
confluence with the Allegheny River. The site is also partially situated in the
100-year flood plain of the creek. The commercial and main residential areas of Bruin
Borough are located less than five blocks from the site and over 30 residences lie
within 500 feet of Bruin Lagoon. Beginning in the 1930s, Bruin Oil Company, located on
property adjacent to the site, used the lagoon for disposal of wastes resulting from the
production of white oil (mineral oil). Disposal operations continued for more than 40
years. In 1968 a breach in the lagoon dike caused an acidic sludge spill into the South
Branch of Bear Creek which killed 4 million fish in the Allegheny River. An RI/FS
report, begun in July 1981, resulted in a remedial action between August 1983 and May
1984. The first remedial action included: removal of liquid floating on top of the
open lagoon and offsite disposal; lagoon and dike stabilization; removal of scrap tanks
and equipment; installation of a multi-layer impermeable cap; and construction of a
channel to prevent ground water from entering the site. In May 1984 a previously
unidentified sludge layer, releasing toxic gases, was penetrated during remedial
construction. EPA declared an emergency situation, stopped all remedial activities, and

16. ABSTRACT
The Chisman Creek site, located in Southeastern York County, VA, is in a 520-acre
sub-watershed of the Chisman Creek coastal Basin on the Virginia Peninsula. As a tidal
estuary, Chisman Creek flows easterly into Chesapeake Bay. Approximately 500 to 1,000
people live within one mile of the site in this primarily residential area. Chisman
Creek supports private and commercial marinas and numerous private docks, and is also a
popular fishing area. In 1957 and 1958, two units of the Virginia Power Yorktown Power
Generating Station began burning coal mixed with coke from a nearby petroleum refinery.
Fly ash was produced by these units until 1974. A private contractor, employed between
1957 and 1974 to haul the fly ash from the generating station, disposed of large
quantities of this incinerated coal by-product in four abandoned sand and gravel pits in
the Chisman Creek watershed, approximately two miles south of the generating station.
No dust control measures were employed during the hauling, and uncontrolled erosin
caused fly ash to wash from the pits into Chisman Creek and its tributaries during heavy
rains. The remedial investigation conducted at the site found contaminants in the fly
ash, the sediments of Chisman Creek and its tributaries, the ground water within and
adjacent to the pits, and in surface water. The primary contaminants of concern
include: trace metals (nickel and vanadium), and inorganics.

16. ABSTRACT
The Delaware City PVC site is located two miles northwest of Delaware City, New
Castle County, Delaware. In 1966 Stauffer Chemical Company (SCO of Westport,
Connecticut, founded the Delaware City PVC Plant, which is used for the manufacturing o
polyvinylchloride resin (PVC), polyvinyl acetate and other polymers. From 1971 to 1974
off-grade PVC resin, sludge from the wastewater treatment system and residue from the
stripping process were disposed of in two onsite pits. These "buried sludge pits" were
closed and covered in 1979. Off-grade PVC resin was disposed of in a third pit. This
material was removed and the pits backfilled in 1974. In May 1981 Formosa acquired the
PVC manufacturing and processing facility and has continued operations to present. The
two buried sludge pits and the third disposal pit were retained by SCC as part of its
Carbon Disulfide Plant, located adjacent to the PVC Plant property. An EPA conducted
inspection in May 1982 indicated serious contamination of the shallow ground water.
Currently, ground water, surface water, and soils are contaminated with PVC, benzyl
chloride monomer (VCM), TCE, and 1,2-dichloroethane (EDC).
The description of the selected remedial action for each area of this site is
provided below. Off-Grade Batch Pits: excavate and remove existing PVC sludge and
contaminated soils; install a double synthetic liner; install monitoring wells and
perform quarterly sample analysis for TCE, EDC, VCM. The excavated material will be

The same remedy as described for the above off-grade batch pits. Unlined
Ditches: excavate and remove PVC sludge and dispose of at an approved RCRA
facility; install a single synthetic liner. Aerated Lagoons: excavate and
remove PVC sludge; clean and repair lagoons as necessary; install a double
synthetic liner; install monitoring wells and perform quarterly sampling
analysis for TCE, EDC and VCM. The excavated material will be recovered to
the maximum extent possible (estimated to be 80-85%) and non-recoverable
material will be disposed of offsite at an approved RCRA facility. Closed
Buried Sludge Pits: place a drainage layer on top of the existing synthetic
cap; cover with a second synthetic cap and topsoil and revegetate. Former
PVC Storage Area: cover and cap the entire area with a double synthetic
cap. Ground Water: install a line of six ground water recovery wells at
the northern edge of the contaminant plume, and another six wells at the
southern edge. Reuse the collected ground water in Formosa's plant
operations. During periods of low water demand in the plant, treat the
ground water in the existing waste water treatment plant. Install two
monitoring wells at the southern edge of the plume. Provide an alternate
water supply for existing contaminated wells. Operation and Maintenance:
as a minimum, regular inspections and, as necessary, repairs to the liners
and caps. The ground water recovery system will be routinely monitored to
assure that it is capturing the contaminated plume. The estimated capital
cost for the remedy is $1,904,000 with annual O&M costs of $43,000.

16. ABSTRACT
The Drake Chemical site is located in Lock Haven, Clinton County, PA. Between 1962
and 1982 Drake Chemical, Inc. (DCI) manufactured batches of specialty, intermediate
chemicals for producers of dyes, Pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, herbicides, and
pesticides. The herbicide Fenac, manufactured at the plant, is a major site
contaminant. The eight-acre inactive site contains six major buildings. Inside and
surrounding the process buildings are approximately sixty process tanks and reactors.
Approximately ten large tanks used for bulk storage of acids, bases, and fuel oils are
outside. Also located onsite are two lined and three unlined wastewater treatment
lagoons. Chemical sludge and contaminated soil cover underlie much of the open area
while construction debris is strewn about. Drums and bulk waste may be buried at the
site. The primary contaminants of concern include: inorganics and organics including
toluene, benzene, TCE, and xylene.
The. selected interim remedy is the second phase of a three phase cleanup action. It
includes: drainage and removal of the two lined lagoons and treatment of drained liquid
and sludge in an offsite RCRA-permitted facility? removal of all tanks, buildings, and
debris; decontamination of all metal structures that can be salvagable as scrap;
disposal in a RCRA facility any material not decontaminated and treatment of any liquids
removed to a RCRA-permitted treatment facility; incineration of warehouse-stored

16. ABSTRACT
The Industrial Lane site encompasses approximately two square miles in Wiliams
Township, Northampton County, Pennsylvania. A portion of the Chrin Landfill, a
Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources permitted landfill, is on the site as
are several active and abandoned industrial properties, commercial establishments,
railroads and farming/residential areas. As a result of the detection of low level
ground water contamination, the Chrin Landfill was placed on the NPL in February 1983.
In addition to the preparation of a Remedial Investigation, two Feasibility Studies for
the Industrial Lane site were also prepared. The first, known as Operable Unit I,
focuses on the remedial alternatives for private well users. The second, Operable Unit
II, will focus on remedial actions addressing ground water remediation. No consistent
contaminant plume has been detected to date due to the complex geology of the area.
Possible industrial activities contributing to the contamination include, but may not b€
limited to, iron ore extraction and iron works operations. The possibility also exists
that refuse and/or other unknown substances were more recently disposed of into one or
more of the iron ore extraction pits on the Chrin Landfill and industrial complex
facility. While residential wells located upgradient of the Chrin Landfill have
historically contained only background levels of VOCs, the chemicals detected in wells
within the Glendon Boro residential community represent the primary contaminants of

16. ABSTRACT
The Lansdowne Radiation site consists of two attached residences located at 105/107
East Stratford Avenue, Lansdowne, PA. The building is located in a residential area,
approximately two miles from Philadelphia. The dwellings were contaminated with radium
and other radionuclides between 1924 and 1944 as a result of work done in one of the
houses. In 1924 Dr. Dicran Kabakjian, a professor of physics at the University of PA,
opened up what was essentially a family-run business to refine radium and produce
medical devices in his home at 105 E. Stratford Avenue. After Dr. Kabakjian1s death in
1945, from conditions not linked directly to radium exposure, the house twice changed
ownership; first to the Tallant family, then to the Kirzirian family. In 1963, based on
information gathered from private individuals, the State Department of Health inspected
the house and found extremely high levels of radiation. A decontamination effort in
1964 consisted of removing as much radium as practical by sanding, scraping, vacuuming,
and washing the house walls, floors and ceilings. Some concrete floor and wooden floor
boards were also removed. It is postulated that the acid fumes from the radium
purification procedure used, as well as spills, carried the radium contamination deep
into the wood and plaster of the home. After cleanup, the house received epoxy-based
paint coatings to limit the outward migration of the radium that remained deeply
embedded in the actual structure. In December 1964, four months after the completion of

the decontamination, the U.S. Public Health Service (USPHS), basing its
report on a 16 hour-per-day-exposure, concluded the radiation dose rate
received by the occupants, the Kizirian family, was just above the then
existing guidelines of 0.5 rem/yr, and that further decontamination of the
house would be impractical. Contamination at the Bashore family home at 107
E. Stratford Avenue was not addressed. The first remedial action at this
site, initiated in August 1985, provided temporary housing for one of the
residents. No further decontamination can currently be performed without
removing the structural members, walls, and floors. Furniture and
appliances that can not be decontaminated are pending remedial actions. The
primary contaminant of concern is radium with actinium, thorium, and
protactinium as secondary contaminants.
The selected remedial action for this second operable unit includes:
dismantling of the twin house. All radioactive materials above established
permissible levels will be packed and sealed in approved containers, and
disposed of at an approved offsite disposal facility; contaminated soil
located in and around the house will be excavated and removed to established
permissible levels. Some soil in surrounding lots along the property lines
may be removed if sampling or monitoring during excavation shows migration
of the radium beyond the original property; the sewer lateral leading from
the contaminated house to Stratford Avenue will be removed; approximately
two hundred feet of sewer line from in front of the house to Union Avenue
will be replaced; operation and maintenance associated with this action will
include maintenance of the vacant property lot. The capital cost has been
estimated at $4,000,000-$4,500,000 with O&M costs reported to be "minimal".

16. ABSTRACT
The Leetown Pesticide site is located in northeast West Virginia, approximately 8
miles south of Martinsburg, West Virginia. The "site" is actually composed of a fiumber
of areas affected by surface disposal of pesticides, agricultural use of pesticides, and
landfilling. A total of eight specific areas of waste disposal or accumulation were
identified during the initial RI study. Of these eight areas, two were the result of
alleged disposal of pesticide-contaminated debris from a fire that occurred in 1975 at
the Miller Chemical Company. These two areas include the former pesticide pile and the
suspected pesticide landfarm areas. Four of the contaminated areas are associated with
former use of the land for orchard production. The two remaining sites are active
landfills.
The results of the contaminant release and exposure study indicate that the suspected
landfarm and apple orchards do not appear to comprise significant sources of
environmental contamination. The only three areas out of the eight investigated that
present concentrations of pesticides above ambient soil background (non-pesticide use
areas) and orchard background levels (pesticide application areas) are the following:
. Former Pesticide Pile Area (presently: Robinson Property)
. Former Jefferson Orchard Mixing Area (presently: Robinson Property)
. Former Crimm Orchard Packing Shed (presently: Tabb Barn).

The selected remedial action for this site includes: excavation and
consolidation of approximately 3600 cubic yards of contaminated soil from
the three areas mentioned above; placement of these soils in an onsite
"treatment bed" to enhance anaerobic biodegradation of the pesticide
contamination; removal and offsite disposal of the contaminated flooring, a
wooden spray wagon, and drums of pesticide product in a. permitted hazardous
waste facility; construction of a monitoring well network; and construction
of surface water diversion systems, sedimentation channels, and diversion

16. ABSTRACT
The Limestone Road site is located 2.5 miles east southeast of Cumberland, Allegheny
County, MD on the western flank of Irons Mountain. The 210-acre site consists of^two
parcels of land, the former Diggs Sanitation Company (DSC-20 acres) and the Cumberland
Cement and Supply Company (CC & SC - 191 acres). The site is bordered on the southwest
by several residences, and immediately to the northwest lie the Cumberland City Dump and
undeveloped land. The site includes large areas of landfilled and dumped commercial,
residential and demolition refuse on both properties. About 110 tons of a chromium
containing sludge were also disposed of on the properties. Currently, 18 residences are
within a half-mile downhill of the site, 5 within 100 yards, and one on the Diggs
property. The'water supply for these residences is ground water from private wells.
Ground water in the area of the site has the potential to be contaminated with inorganic
and organic constituents. In the mid 1970s, Mr. Charles Steiner, President of CC & SC,
began allowing various contractors to dump clean fill (housing demolition material) on
the property to provide a larger and more level working surface. However, a variety of
waste has reportedly been dumped into a ravine on the property. In April 1981, Mr.
Joseph Diggs, a licensed hazardous waste hauler and owner of DSC, was allegedly involved
in the dumping of 99 tons of hazardous waste containing chromium, lead, and cadmium into
a ravine on CC & SC property. In addition, an alleged 11 tons of hazardous waste have

been reportedly disposed of on the Diggs property as an extension of
previous filling and grading operations. The nearby Cumberland City Dump
functioned as a municipal landfill from 1932 to 1968. Ply ash,
miscellaneous solid metal wastes, and numerous tires are currently exposed
on the northern and southern faces of the dump. Several crushed and rusted
drums were noted along the banks of the inactive landfill. The primary
contaminants of concern include: VOCs, base-neutral compounds, TCE, PCE,
heavy metals.
The selected interim remedial action includes: site grading; capping of
contaminated soil on all properties; fencing of both properties; continued
monitoring of groundwater, surface water, and sediment; complete historical
review of pertinent geological information; collection of regional offsite
and onsite geological information; chemical analysis of the shale to
determine its composition; reevaluation and establishment of background data
control points; frequent sampling to increase the data base; increase in the
number of stream and residential sampling; evaluation of the effects of
natural and/or domestic (plumbing) conditions on the overall water quality
of the area. The estimated capital cost is $1,192,580. O&M cost will be
determined after completion of ground water studies.

16. ABSTRACT
The Middletown Road Site is a privately owned waste dump, consisting of approximately
2.3 acres, located off Maryland Route 50 near Annapolis, Anne Arundel County, Maryland.
The site operated as a dump, primarily for rubble and construction debris, for several
decades without proper State permits. In 1981, it was discovered that approximately 40
drums and four dumpster loads of suspected hazardous substances were on the site.
On June 24, 1983, $384,000 in CERCLA money was allocated for immediate removal
measures to excavate and remove hazardous substances and contaminated soil. The removal
activities conducted at the site consisted of: the removal of contaminated soil and
5-gallon pails of marine paint; additional soil sampling to confirm adequate contaminant
removal; installation of six ground water monitoring wells around the perimeter of the
site; drum sampling, testing and the relocation of one million tires on the site in
order to conduct a more comprehensive subsurface investigation. Material removed during
the Immediate Removal Action included 68 drums, 70 contaminated tires, and 610 tons of
contaminated soil.
A remedial investigation was conducted to determine whether any remedial action would
be needed before deleting the site from EPA's National Priorities List. Based on the
findings of the RI, no risk to receptors via direct contact, inhalation, or ingestion
was found. Therefore, a No Action Alternative has been recommended, since there are no

16. ABSTRACT
The Millcreek site is a 84.5-acre tract of land located in Millcreek Township, Erie
County, Pennsylvania. The site was once a 75-acre freshwater wetland. During the past
40 years, all but 4 acres have been filled with foundry sand and industrial and
municipal waste. The site operated as an unpermitted active landfill during this time.
For the past 15 years, unknown parties bulk disposed halogenated volatile solvents in
soils in the eastern portion of the site. This disposal has resulted in significant
ground water contamination both on and offsite. Unit cancer risk calculations reveal
that offsite ground water contamination exceeds 10~2 cancer risk levels adjacent to
the eastern portion of the site. In addition, Region Ill's Remedial Investigation
discovered extensive soil, sediment, and surface water contamination. The major clases
of compounds detected included: polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polynuclear aromatic
hydrocarbons (PAHs), phthalates, volatile organics, phenols and metals such as lead and
copper.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: excavation and consolidation of
contaminated soil and sediments under a RCRA cap to meet proposed criteria; site
grading; placing a soil cover over remaining low level contaminated soils not exceeding
the proposed criteria; construction of surface water management basins and ditches;
revegetation of soil cover and cap; installation of additional monitoring wells;

16. ABSTRACT
The Taylor Borough site is located in the Borough of Taylor in Lackawanna County,
Pennsylvania. The site is an abandoned landfill located in a strip mine. Underlying
the site is a series of underground mines. 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 strip mines. In June 1985, a
Record of Decision (ROD) was approved for the site. The ROD deferred a decision on
ground water action because analytical results for ground water samples collected in
April 1985 were not available. Additional consideration of site ground water conditions
was also needed because of unusual hydrogeologic conditions.
In the June 1985 ROD, reference is made to a release of contaminants into a coal seam
based on the analysis of samples collected from Well 3C in September 1984. As noted in
the RI, the data validation review found that the reported results are of questionable
accuracy. Additionally, the two subsequent sampling efforts that were attempted did not
identify any contamination. Since no release of site contaminants to the ground water
has been documented, there is no need for ground water remedial action at this time;
however, a monitoring program is warranted to verify that no release is occurring. To
meet this objective, existing monitoring wells in the coal seams underlying the site
(wells IB, 2C, 3C, 4C, 5B, 6A, 7c, 7D, 8B) should be monitored on a semiannual basis for

The Tybouts Corner Landfill site is located in northern Delaware, approximately ten
miles south of Wilmington, in New Castle County. The landfill consists of two fill
areas. The main fill is about 47 acres in size and is located near the confluence of
igeon Run and Red Lion Creek. A smaller fill area, estimated to be about four acres,
is located just west of Pigeon Run. The site was originally a sand and gravel pit.
•Jhen the landfill began to operate, plans indicate that no clay liner or other
impervious material was placed below the fill and no impervious cap was placed on top of
the fill following abandonment. Tybouts Corner Landfill was used by the New Castle
County Department of Public Works as a municipal sanitary landfill for the disposal of
municipal and domestic refuse from December 1968 until July 1971. In addition,
industrial wastes were disposed there during the active life of the landfill. These
industrial wastes included: trichloroethylene, vinyl chloride, 1,2-dichloroethane;
benzene and various other organic and inorganic chemicals.
The main threat posed by Tybouts Corner Landfill is that the hazardous substances
disposed of in the landfill are contaminating the local and regional aquifers which are
a main source of water for the region. The selected remedial action for this site
includes: excavation of all municipal and industrial wastes, as well as contaminated

offsite plume of contaminated ground water in the Upper Hydrologic Zone
(UHZ) of the Potomac will be pumped and treated or otherwise disposed of,
either onsite or offsite at a local sewage treatment plant. The goal of the
offsite ground water treatment will be to reduce the level of contaminants
to 100 ppb of total volatile organics, and 10~* cancer risk level for
cancer-causing contaminants. During the pumping, institutional controls
will be utilized to prevent use of contaminated ground water. The ROD does
not provide estimated capital cost and annual O&M costs for the selected

16. ABSTRACT
The Westline Site is located in Westline, Lafayette Township, McKean County, PA. The
site, encompassing approximately 40 acres, is bordered by Kinzua Creek to the soi*th,
Turnip Run to the east, and a wetland area to the west. For the purpose of this
investigation, the northern border extends 250 feet north of the former chemical plant
foundation. Located at the center of the site is a popular landmark, the Westline Inn.
Beginning in 1901, the Day Chemical Company, converted lumber into charcoal, methanol
and acetic acid. The plant changed owners three times before equipment deterioration
and declining profits forced its closure in 1952. Several tar-like deposits from the
wood chemical processing operations remain onsite. The largest deposit was excavated in
September of 1983 by the removal action implemented by the EPA. Another tar deposit,
approximately 6 inches deep and 1,500 square feet in total area, still exists. Several
smaller tar deposits are located intermittently in the low-lying areas of the ground
surface. Tar Is also seen along the banks of an unnamed tributary. The FS has
estimated a total of 710 cubic yards of tar and tar soils onsite. During the initial
EPA site inspection in July of 1982, a sample of waste material was collected from tar
seepage and analyzed for priority pollutants. Eighteen tentatively identified compounds
were detected. In March 1986, a second wood tar sample was collected to verify the
presence or absence of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). The primary

16. ABSTRACT
The A. L. Taylor site, also known as "Valley of the Drums", is located in a small
valley in northern Bullitt County outside of Brooks, Kentucky. This site was firSt
identified as a waste disposal site by the Kentucky Department of Natural Resources and
Environmental Protection (KDNREP) in 1967. The owner, Mr. Taylor, excavated pits on
site, emptied the contents of drums into them, and then recycled the drums. Soil from
nearby hillsides was eventually used to cover the pits. Thousands of drums were also
stored on the surface. Mr. Taylor never applied for the required State permits
throughout the history of site operations from 1967 to 1977. The KDNREP first
documented releases of hazardous substances in 1975. They pursued legal actions against
Mr. Taylor until his death in late 1977. In January 1979 the EPA responded to releases
of oil and hazardous substances at the site. In 1980 the KDNREP contacted six
responsible parties who identified and removed approximately 30% of the waste remaining
on the surface of the site. In 1981 the EPA, upon inspection, discovered deteriorating
and leaking drums and discharges of pollutants into the nearby creek. EPA conducted a
removal action to upgrade the existing treatment system and remove the remaining 4,200
drums of surface waste offsite for recycling or disposal. There remains an unknown
amount of waste buried onsite. The hazardous substances detected at this site include
approximately 140 compounds of the following classes:

16. ABSTRACT
The Coleman Evans Wood Preserving Company site is an active 11-acre wood preserving
facility located in the town of whitehouse, Duval County, Florida. The. site consists oi
two distinct areas: the western portion, which comprises the wood treating facility;
and the eastern portion, which consists of a landfill area which has been used for the
disposal of wood chip and other wastes. Land use around the site is primarily
residential and light commercial/industrial. Since 1954, Coleman Evans has produced
wood products impregnated with PCP. Wastes from the process were discharged into an
onsite drainage ditch, and two unlined sludge disposal pits. In 1980, ground water
underneath the site was found to be contaminated. As a result, Coleman Evans
constructed a closed-loop treatment system. In 1985, an immediate removal action was
taken to remove the contents of the two unlined pits. Subsequent site investigations
confirm soil and ground water contamination, with PCP the primary contaminant of concert
The selected remedial action for this site includes: all soils and sediments with
PCP concentrations greater than 10 mg/kg will be excavated, approximately 9,000 cubic
yards; excavated soils will be incinerated in a temporary onsite incineration unit.
Decontamianted soils will be backfilled onsite; ground water recovery will be conducted
for dewatering to facilitate excavation and to treat ground water with PCP
concentrations greater than 1.01 mg/1. Recovered ground water will be stored and

16. ABSTRACT
The Distler Brickyard site is located near the Ohio River, approximately one-half
mile south of West Point, Kentucky and about 17 miles southwest of Louisville. The
3-acre site is located on a 70-acre abandoned brick manufacturing plant property, and
portions of the site lie within the 50-year and 100-year flood plains of the Ohio
River. The site consists of the brick complex and associated buildings, and an open
field covered with grasses and shrubs. In 1976, Mr. Donald Distler leased the brickyar
property from Mr. Thomas Hoeppner, the owner, and began disposing wastes from Distler1s
Kentucky Liquid Recycling, Inc. firm. In December of 1976, KNREPC learned of the
disposal and conducted investigations at the site. These investigations led to Franklii
County serving a restraining order to Mr. Distler to discontinue disposal of wastes at
the site. Despite the order, disposal continued until January 1979, when KNREPC issued
an order to abate operations. A partial removal of drums occurred, leading to later
removal of 2,310 drums and visibly contaminated soil. Contents of the drums included
liquids, sludges and solids found to be corrosive, volatile and flammable. The RI/FS,
begun in April 1984, indicated soil and ground water contamination in the site area.
Primary contaminants of concern are VOCs including TCE, DCE, benzene and toluene,
naphthalene, bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, and heavy metals.

16. ABSTRACT
Distler Farm is located in the southwest corner of Jefferson County, KY,
approximately one mile northwest of West Point, KY.' The property is bordered by^J.S.
Highway 60/31 W (Dixie Highway) on the northwest; Stump Gap Creek on the southeast; and
by cultivated farmland on the northeast and southwest. The site is a three-acre area
approximately 1,000 feet from the Ohio River. The site was discovered in early 1977
during the development of an enforcement case against Mr. Donald F. Distler, owner of
Kentucky Liquid Recycling, Inc. In an effort to locate sites that Mr. Distler may have
used for chemical waste storage or disposal, EPA personnel inspected the site in April
1977. They reported approximately 600 drums of industrial waste stored on the ground
surface. In December 1978 the Ohio River and its tributaries flooded, causing drums of
industrial wastes from the site to be scattered along the flood plain of the creek. The
Governor of Kentucky declared an environmental emergency and Region IV of the EPA
supervised recovery and onsite storage of 832 drums containing chemicals characteristic
of the paint and varnish industry. The drums were later removed by the Kentucky Natural
Resources and Environmental Protection Cabinet (KNREPC). During the cleanup effort U.S.
Army personnel located four drum burial sites. Between January 1979 and April 1984, the
EPA conducted various surface water, ground water, soil, sediment, and well studies.
These studies confirmed the evidence of soil contamination and ground water contaminatio

at the site. No significant site-related contamination appeared in surface
waters, sediments or residential wells outside the property boundaries.
Prior to the completion of the RI, contaminated soils were removed from the
site and transported to permitted hazardous waste disposal facilities;
airborne contaminants also are not a problem. Following the removal
operations, the pits were backfilled, and the entire affected area was
graded, cultivated, and sown with grass seed to control erosion. Hazardous
substances in the form of source materials are not present on the site.
Surface storage and burial areas have been confirmed as being contaminated.
These areas were considered to be the likely sources of potential future
releases of contamination. The primary contaminants of concern include:
VOCs, PCE, TCE, ketones, toluene, inorganics, radioactive material, and
metals.
The selected remedial action includes: excavation and removal of all
contaminated soils and offsite disposal in a hazardous waste landfill;
backfilling with "clean" natural granular soils, extraction of contaminated
groundwater and temporary accumulation and onsite storage; transportation of
contaminated groundwater to offsite commercial facility and treatment to
background levels; reinjection of uncontaminated water into the aquifer;
maintenance of vegetation, erosion repair, and ground water monitoring for a
one year period. The capital cost is $11,138,400 with O&M in years 1-10 of
$113,600 and $20,000 for years 11-30.

16. ABSTRACT
The Gallaway Ponds site is located 2.3 miles northeast of Gallaway, Fayette County,
TN. The site lies near the top of a low ridge composed mainly of gravel, sand, *hd clay
terrace deposits. The ridge has been extensively mined for sand and gravel, producing z
landscape dotted with water-filled pits up to 50 feet deep. The site encompasses the
land area adjacent to and including nine ponds located within a currently inactive
(5-acre) portion of a larger (50-acre) active sand and gravel operation. One pond,
designated Pond 1, was used for the disposal of liquid and solid waste, including
pesticides, glass jars containing solid waste, and drums. Some pits have been used for
the disposal of residential trash, demolition debris, and appliances. Disposal of
hazardous materials at the site occurred for an undetermined period of time, probably ir
the 1970s or early 1980s. Drums containing liquid waste were disposed of by emptying
the drums into a small pond or by placing the entire drum into the pond. Small glass
bottles containing "quality control" samples from pesticide blending operations were
disposed of directly to the small pond. No disposal activities at this site have ever
been permitted by State or local authorities. In October 1983, the EPA conducted an
emergency cleanup of Pond 1, consisting of the excavation and offsite disposal of
contaminated sludges and the onsite treatment of the water in the pond. The treated
water was subsequently discharged to Ponds 2 and 3, located east of Pond 1. The primary

16. ABSTRACT
Hipps Road Landfill is located at the intersection of Hipps Road and Exline Road in
Jacksonville Heights, Duval County, Florida. The area is a semi-rural residentiSM
neighborhood. Two homes are physically on the landfill and three other residences are
immediately adjacent to it. The landfill is situated above the SOO^year flood plain and
there are no ecologically sensitive areas nearby. Surface water is Hot used to supply
drinking water in the area, and recreational uses consist of swimming, boating, fishing,
and similar activities. Present lateral distance of ground water contamination extends
approximately 1,000 feet northeast of the site. In 1968, the property owner, Mr. G. 0.
Williams (now deceased) contracted with Waste Control of Florida, Inc., a local disposal
company, to fill in the site. No record of the fill material exists. Operations ceasec
in 1970 when a permit request to extend the landfill eastward was denied. Problems were
first reported in the early 1970s when a pond adjacent to the landfill developed a
thick, smelly film, and fish and nearby vegetation died. No record of action was
noted. In February 1983 area residents began to complain of a foul odor and taste in
the drinking water. Well sampling identified the presence of VOCs in the drinking
water. During re-sampling studies in March, April and August 1983, larger suites of
VOCs and metals were discovered. Between June and October 1983, the city installed
waterlines supplying the site residents with city water. By January 1985

16. ABSTRACT
The Hollingsworth Solderless Terminal Company (HSTC) site is located in Fort
Lauderdale, Broward County, Florida. The 3.5-acre site was in operation from 196€ until
the company closed the facility on October 1, 1982. HSTC manufactured solderless
electrical terminals. The manufacturing process included heat treatment in molten salts
baths, degreasing, and electroplating. For approximately eight years, HSTC disposed of
wash water and process wastewater contaminated with trichloroethylene (TCE), and/or
heavy metals into drainfields adjacent to the manufacturing plant. Disposal practices
at the site have been clearly documented; however, the amounts of TCE disposed of and
the exact locations and duration of disposal remain undocumented. The waste TCE was
used both as a degreasing solvent and for cleaning floors, equipment, etc. Primary
contaminants at the site include TCE, vinyl chloride, trans-1,2-dichloroethene, and to a
lesser extent, nickel, tin, and copper.
•The selected remedial action for this site includes: excavation, aeration and
replacement onsite of volatile organic contaminated soils and the recovery of
contaminated ground water from the sand zones of the aquifer, with treatment and
reinjection into the aquifer. Capital cost for the selected remedial action is
estimated to be $653,730 with O&M costs approximately $364,215 per year.

6. ABSTRACT ' ' ' ' " — ~ ~
The Lees Lane Landfill (LLL) site is located adjacent to the Ohio River in Jefferson
County, Kentucky. Land use at the site has included a sand and gravel quarry, a
junkyard, and a landfill. The landfilling operations were reported to have begun in th
late 1940s. The site received domestic, commercial, solid municipal, and at least
212,400 tons of mixed industrial waste (some drummed) prior to its closure in April
1975. In March 1975, homeowners in an adjacent community, reported flash fires around
their water heaters. A subsequent investigation detected explosive levels of methane
gas and seven families were evacuated from homes near the site. A venting system was
installed in October 1980. In February 1980, the Kentucky Department of Hazardous
Materials and Waste Management (HMWM) discovered approximately 400 drums about one
hundred feet from the Ohio River bank. The drums were moved to an approved hazardous
waste disposal facility by the LLL owners under court order in September and October
1981. The remaining nonhazardous drummed materials and empty drums were buried onsite.
Surface water, soil, and ground water are contaminated with benzene, heavy metals
including lead, arsenic, and chromium, and inorganics.
The selected remedy for this site includes: provision for a properly operating gas
collection system; consideration of a possible future alternate water supply; cleanup o
surface waste area which will involve removal of exposed drums, capping of "hot spot"

6. ABSTRACT
The Mowbray Engineering Company (MEC) site consists of a 3-acre swamp located in
Greenville, Butler County, Alabama. The study area evaluated in the RI/FS also included
the MEC plant property located across the street from the swamp. The MEC site lies in
the 100-year flood plain of the Tanyard Branch, and is saturated most of the year. An
aquifer underlying the site supplies 11,400 residents with potable water. Since the
early 1940s,MEC has been in the business of repairing electrical transformers. Waste
oils generated from this process were dumped onto the ground behind the plant. Oil was
also allowed to flow into a city storm sewer drain and ultimately into the swamp.
Dumping and other discharges continued until the mid-1970s. A fish kill occurred in 1975
in Tanyard Branch. As a result, MEC installed two underground storage tanks to collect
oil for resale and prevent future spills. In 1980 another fish kill occurred, and the
State sampled soils to determine the exact source of contamination. PCBs were detected
in swamp soils at SOOppm, leading to EPA removing the top six inches of swamp soil and
disposing of the wastes in an approved offsite hazardous waste facility. The MEC site
was listed on the NPL in 1982, and RI/FS activities were initiated in January, 1985,
following discovery of PCBs in concentrations of l,737ppm in soils contained in the
storm water drainage pathway. The primary contaminants of concern are PCBs.

16. ABSTRACT (continued)
The selected remedial action includes: excavation, removal and disposal of
the underground storage tanks located on the MEG property; treatment or
disposal of waste oils encountered in the swamp area and in the underground
storage tanks by a TSCA-approved method; drainage diversion of surface runon
around the swamp area; excavation of soils contaminated above 25ppm PCBs and
either offsite or onsite incineration, or onsite stabilization/solidification
of these soils. Infrared incineration is preferred, but if operating
parameters deem this technology impractical, solidification/stabilization will
be performed. The remedy also includes grading and revegetating the swamp;
proper closure of the abandoned onsite city supply well in accordance with
Alabama Department of Environmental Management well closure regulations; and
O&M involving maintenance of the drainage diversion ditch, the revegetated
area and possibly the solidified matrix. Estimated capital cost of the remedy
is $1.2-2.0 million for offsite incineration, $1.1-1.8 million for onsite
incineration, and $750,000 for solidification/stabilization. All costs
include O&M activity costs.

16. ABSTRACT
The Pepper's Steel and Alloys site occupies 30 acres known as Tracts 44, 45, and 46
in the Town of Medley, Florida. Medley is located in northern Dade County, *
approximately 10 miles northwest of Miami and 13 miles inland from the Atlantic Ocean.
Additionally, the Pepper's Steel site is located in the "unsewered industrial area" and
near three other Superfund sites referenced in the Biscayne Aquifer ROD.
Since the mid-1960s the Pepper's Steel site has been the location of several
businesses, many of which are still operating onsite. Operations have included the
manufacture of batteries, pre-cast concrete products and fiberglass boats, as well as
the repair and service of trucks and heavy equipment. Also, sandblasting and painting
services, a concrete batching plant and an automobile scrap operation have been or are
located on the site. Various trash and waste products from these activities, including
parts of rusted machinery, vehicles, aircraft, oil tanks, transformers, underground
storage tanks and batteries have been deposited at the site. The contaminants that have
been identified within the soil, sediments, and ground water in and around the site
include PCBs, organic compounds and heavy metals such as: lead, arsenic, cadmium,
chromium, copper,manganese/mercury, zinc, and antimony.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: collection and offsite disposal
of all free oil according to TSCA regulations; excavation of soils exceeding 1 ppm PCB,

16. ABSTRACT
The Pioneer Sand site, owned by the Pioneer Sand Company (PSC), is an inactive
11-acre quarry located near Belleview, FL. A disposal permit was granted to PSC in 197
which alllowed the disposal of inert materials including construction debris and
shredded automobile strippings. Between 1974 and 1978, phenols and resin compounds wer
deposited from Newport Industries (currently Reichhold Chemical Company). Domestic and
industrial wastes including metal plating sludges were also received from the Pensacola
Naval Air Station. Approximately 75 percent of the site is an excavation pit, while th
remaining 25 percent is a fill area consisting of the above-mentioned materials. In
1981 the Florida Department of Environmental Regulation did not renew the disposal
permit and ordered the waste dumping practices to cease. Based on the RI results for
PCB analysis of soils at the site, the EPA conducted an Immediate Removal Action in
August 1986. All known areas of PCB concentrations greater than 50 ppm were removed.
The primary contaminants of concern include: VOCs, organics, heavy metals, phenols,
phthalates, and toluene.
The selected remedial action for the site includes: RCRA Subtitle D landfill
closure; leachate collection, treatment, and onsite disposal; surface water treatment
and onsite discharge; and cover system for sludge pond waste. The estimated capital
cost is $462,025 with O&M costs of $45,000 for the first year, and $34,900 for years
2-30.

16. ABSTRACT
The SCRDI Dixiana site consists of a 2-acre lot and a warehouse in southeastern
Lexington County, South Carolina. The warehouse, located near the center of the
property is an abandoned one-story, metal structure. The predominant land use in the
areas adjacent to the site are woodlands and light residential development.
Approximately 1,193 people use water supply wells within three miles of the site. Soutt
Carolina Recycling and Disposal, Inc. (SCRDI) leased the site from G.M.T. in 1978 for
drum storage of industrial wastes. Instances of poor handling practices, leaky drums,
and exposure to the weather allowed numerous discharges to the environment prior to drun
removal. In August 1978 a waste management permit was denied to SCRDI by the South
Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SCDHEC) because of poor waste
management practices. A suit was filed by SCDHEC against SCRDI during the same month.
Removal of all surficial drummed waste and visibly contaminated soils was performed by
SCRDI. The Ground Water Protection Division of SCDHEC completed a detailed ground watei
monitoring program in Autumn 1982 and confirmed ground water contamination underlying
the site. No significant site-related surface water, sediment, air, or surface and
subsurface soil contamination have appeared. Potential sources of future contamination
at the site are former drum storage areas and suspected spill areas. Contamination is
presently moving offsite primarily via shallow ground water in response to the hydraulic

16. ABSTRACT ' ~ ' ' —
The Sapp Battery site occupies an area of approximately 45 acres in a rural part of
Jackson County, Florida. Located on the site are two ponds, connected by a small*
channel. In 1970, Sapp Battery Service, Inc. began an operation to recover lead from
used batteries. The. process consisted of breaking open used batteries, dumping the acid
outside the plant, recovering the lead, and disposing of the broken battery casings in
an onsite man-made fishing pond. In 1977 the acid discharge began killing nearby
cypress trees. Sapp Battery subsequently undertook several steps to alleviate the
problem, all of which failed. In 1980, Mr. Jerry Sapp, owner of Sapp Battery, closed
operations and, in effect, walked away from the site. The RI/FS conducted at the site
revealed soils, sediments, surface water and ground water contaminated with lead,
cadmium, arsenic, antimony and other heavy metals.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: excavation of soils and
sediments containing contaminant levels above those set in the Risk Assessment; fixation
of the excavated soils/sediments and onsite disposal of the solidified matrix into a
cell built to Florida Class I sanitary Landfill Standards; groundwater removal and
treatment of the underlying aquifers; treatment and discharge of contaminated surface
water from the onsite swamp and the offsite Steele City Bay area; and monitoring proqran
for potable water wells located within a one-mile radius of the site. Needed

16. ABSTRACT
The A&F Materials site is located on three and three-quarter acres in Greenup, IL,
The_site, originally an undeveloped backwater flood zone for the Embarras River, was
first developed for a sawmill operation. Mr. Ken Ault purchased the site for the A&F
Materials recycling plant, which began operations in March 1977 and .continued until it
shut down in 1980. The plant 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 operating permit
issued to the plant by the IEPA. By March 1978, four storage lagoons became filled and
began to overflow, contaminating the soil and drainage pathway. In addition, thirteen
steel storage tanks containing a mixture of waste oils (contaminated with PCBs and
organics) , sludges, spent caustics and acids, contaminated water and other waste
products, were located onsite. The, tanks had failed on several occasions, releasing
their contents. In March 1980, May 1982, and December 1982, actions were taken at the
site to lower the immediate potential of releases. These actions included lowering the
level of wastes in the lagoons, diking, trenching, cleanup and removal of onsite and
offsite wastes. In addition, a temporary cap was placed on the consolidated sludge in
March 1983. In September 1984, the Aluminum Company of America, Northern Petrochemical,
CAM-OR Inc. and Petrolite Corporation entered into a Partial Consent Decree (PCD)

whereby the companies agreed to undertake surface cleanup at the site as an
additional removal and remedial action. Pursuant to this PCD, an RI/FS was
prepared by the consenting defendants which determined the amount of
soil/sludge to be removed and the extent and flow direction of ground water
contamination. Following the soil removal in 1985, only phenols and benzoic
acid were detected above the non-detectable limits. The most significant
contaminants of concern found during the RI/FS include: sulfates,
inorganics, TCE, and metals.
The selected remedial action for the site includes: ground water
monitoring of the natural purging and dilution of contaminants;
institutional controls; and establishment of procedures for regular review
of monitoring data. There is no estimated capital cost associated with this
remedy, however, the PRPs have agreed to pay the estimated annual O&M costs
of $24,000.

16. ABSTRACT
The Arcanum Iron and Metal (AIM) site is a 4.5-acre site located in Twin Township,
Darke County, OH just southeast of the city of Arcanum and 25 miles northwest of *
Dayton. The AIM site operated as a lead battery reprocessing facility from the early
1960s until 1982. During this operation, battery casings were split to extract lead
cores for smelting. Battery acids generated from this operation were dumped in a large
steel trough and allowed to drain to a low area. Reprocessing of the plastic and black
rubber battery casings generated lead oxide sludge and lead particulates which collected
on the ground surface and surface ponds onsite. Past practices at the facility included
burial of some materials in onsite pits. Results of the surface soil and soil boring
samples taken during the RI indicate that lead is the primary contaminant of concern
with antimony and arsenic leading the contaminants of secondary concern. Lead was
detected in onsite and offsite monitoring wells but not in the six offsite residential
wells sampled. Lead contamination was also found in onsite and offsite surface water
and sediments and three onsite buildings. In addition, an estimated 3,800 cubic yards
of shredded battery casings exist onsite.
The cost effective remedy selected includes: removal of onsite contaminated soils to
SOOppm lead and disposal in offsite RCRA Subtitle C landfill; removal of offsite soils
to background lead concentrations and disposal of soils above 500ppm in offsite RCRA

6. ABSTRACT
The Arrowhead Refinery site is located in Hermantown, St. Louis County, Minnesota.
The site consists of 10 acres of relatively flat land with peaty wetlands scattered
across the area, and it is zoned for commercial use. Land use in th€ vicinity is a
combination of residential, commercial, and public. Between 1945 and 1977, the site wa
used as a waste oil reclaiming facility. The operation generated waste by-products
which were discharged into an uncontained 2-acre lagoon and a waste water ditch in a
wetland area. Arrowhead Refinery Company, incorporated in 1961, continued refining and
recycling operations until 1977, when the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency ordered
work to be stopped. Investigations conducted by EPA in 1979 revealed that onsite
surface water was transporting contaminants to nearby wetlands areas and navigable
waters. In response, a surface water diversion ditch was constructed to prevent furthe
contaminant migration. The primary contaminants of concern are VOCs, PAHs and lead, an
they are found in onsite soils, sediments, surface waters and ground water.
The selected remedial action for the Arrowhead Refinery site includes: excavation
and onsite incineration of 4,600 cy of sludge and 20,500 cy of contaminated soils and
sediments; ground water pumping and treating designed to restore the aquifer and control
contaminant migration over a 25-50 year period; extension of a nearby municipal water

16. ABSTRACT
The Burlington Northern (BN) site is located in both the City of Baxter and the City
of Brainerd, MN. The. Mississippi River flows about 3,000 feet east of the plant *md
residential areas are located to the northeast and southeast, less than 1,000 feet from
the site. Since 1907, BN has owned and operated the railroad tie treatment plant on
this site. During the 1950s BN began mixing creosote, a preserver, with Number 5 fuel
oil in a 1:1 ratio. At some undetermined time, the mixture was changed to creosote and
coal tar. This mixture is presently being used in a 70:30 ratio. Wastewater generated
from the wood treating process was sent to two shallow, unlined surface impoundments for
disposal. The discharge of wastewater to the disposal ponds aenerated a sludge that
contaminated both the underlying soils and ground water. Ground water contamination is
restricted to a relatively small area downgradient from the site. The primary
contaminants of concern include: PAHs, heterocycles, and phenols.
The selected alternative for this site consists of onsite treatment and capping. The
major components of the alternative include: preparation of a lined staging area for
temporary storage of the sludge and contaminated soil; removal of all standing water in
the impoundment; excavation and segregation of the sludges for subsequent free oil
recovery; excavation of visibly contaminated soil from both impoundments and subsequent
storage in the staging area; backfilling of the excavated areas; preparation of a base

leachate; installation of an irrigation system; land treatment of creosote focusing on
the breakdown and transformation of organic constituents by aerobic microorganisms in
the top layer of soil, and the immobilization of organic and inorganic constituents on
the soil. The_ final goal of this treatment is not the complete degradation of all waste
constituents, but is rather the transformation and immobilization of these constitutents
to render soil that is no longer toxic and does not leach harmful constituents. A final
RCRA approved cover will be installed following the treatment process. The estimated
capital cost for this remedy is $582,000 with annual O&M costs of $36,000.

16. ABSTRACT
The Burrows Sanitation site is a ten-acre site located on 54th Avenue in Hartford
Township, Van Buren County, Michigan. This site was used for dewatering and disposing
of metal hydroxide sludges, waste coolants, and soluble oils. Located within a
three-quarter mile radius of the site are approximately 150 people living in thirteen
permanent residences and a trailer park. These homes obtain water from private wells.
Access to the site is restricted by a snow fence, but some sections of the fence are in
poor condition, allowing sportsmen and skiers easy access. Two wetland areas, the East
Wetland and the Northwest Wetland, are located on the eastern and northwestern edges of
the site. The Northwest Wetland was created artificially by the construction of an
earthen dam. In July 1984, under a CERCLA Administrative Order by Consent, responsible
parties excavated and removed sludges and contaminated soils from four onsite waste
disposal areas. Sampling of these areas indicates that the former source materials wer«
removed so they no longer present a potential health threat via direct contact or
ingestion. Wastes similar to the excavated wastes remain in the newly identified Spill
Area No. 2. Principal contaminants include chromium, copper, lead, nickel, zinc, and
cyanide. Test results also indicate that the surface water and sediments in the
Northwest Wetland and drainage canal have been impacted by the site. In addition,
onsite monitoring wells indicate a limited chemical plume or plumes related to site

16. ABSTRACT
The Pvron Johnson Salvage Yard is a~. ecproximately 20-acre wooded parcel located in
Ogle County, Illinois. General rubble and domestic refuse, along with industrial^wastes
including drums and plating materials, are scattered about this presently inactive
site. During the 1960s and early 1970s, the yard operated as a salvage yard and
unpermitted landfill. A March 1985 Record of Decis'ion (ROD) implemented a remedial
action consisting of excavation and removal of containerized waste and contaminated
soil, and onsite treatment of soil containing excessive levels of cyanide. Ground water
under and downgradient from the site is contaminated with heavy metals, cyanide and
VOCs, including TCE and PCE. Because the material within the Salvage Yard has not yet
been removed, wastes still present, both on the surface and buried, act as an ongoing
source for ground water contamination.
The^selected remedy for this second operable unit includes: installation of whole
house carbon filtration systems in affected year-round residences to provide an interim
alternate water supply; provision of an interim alternate water suoply to residents
occupying seasonal (summer-use) homes through distribution of bottled water; ongoing
sampling and monitoring program to evaluate the effectiveness and lifetime of the carbon
filters; installation of replacement filters after breakthrough occurrence; and disposal
of spent filters in accordance with provisions of the Resource Conservation and Recovery

16. ABSTRACT
Fields Brook is located in the City of Ashtabula, Ohio and drains a 5.6-square mile
watershed (defined as the "site"). The 3.5 mile main channel of Fields Brook flows
through an industrial area that is one of the largest and most diversified
concentrations of chemical plants in Ohio. The brook empties into the Ashtabula River
which subsequently flows into Lake Erie 8,000 feet downstream of its confluence with
Fields Brook. Industrial sources have contaminated the sediment in Fields Brook with a
variety of organic and heavy metal pollutants, including TCE, PCE, chlorobenzene, vinyl
chloride, arsenic, zinc, mercury and chromium. Base-neutral compounds including
hexachloroethane, toluenediamine and toluene diisocyanate also have been detected in
Fields Brook sediments. Sediments taken from the Ashtabula River in the vicinity of
Fields Brook are contaminated with PCBs. The U.S. EPA believes that the amount of
contamination entering the brook at this time has been substantially reduced due to the
recent development of pollution control laws and discharge permitting requirements.
The selected remedial action for the Fields Brook site includes: provisions for the
excavation of contaminated sediment from Fields Brook, the temporary storage and
dewatering, and the thermal treatment of a portion and the solidification and onsite
landfilling of the remainder. Based on criteria presented in the ROD, approximately
36,000 cy of contaminated sediments will be solidified, and 16,000 cy will be thermally

The Forest Waste Disposal Site is located at 8359 East Farrand Road, Otisville,
Michigan, approximately 12 miles northeast of Flint, and approximately 2 miles nc»rthwes
of the City of Otisville. The total site area is approximately 112 acres. The site has
a landfill with a surface area of approximately 15 acres, and nine surface impoundments
with a collective surface area of approximately one acre. From 1973 to 1978, the site
received general refuse, industrial and liquid waste, PBBs, and PCBs. Drummed wastes
from various sources were disposed of in the landfill area, and waste oils, metallic
sludges, paint and resin wastes, and spent sulfuric acid were disposed in the onsite
lagoons. Currently, onsite soils and sediments are contaminated with priority pollutant
compounds and various organic and heavy metal compounds.
The selected source control remedial alternative includes excavation, treatment and
disposal of 4000 yd^ of contaminated sludges, sediments and soils in an offsite
RCRA-permitted landfill, and removal, treatment and disposal of 110,000 gallons of
aqueous lagoon wastes at a RCRA treatment facility. The. estimated capital cost for thi
remedy is $1,295,000 with no annual O&M costs.

o. ABSTRACT
The Lake Sandy Jo site is located on the southeast side of the City of Gary in Lake
County, Indiana. The site was a former 40-acre water-filled borrow pit that was jised as
a landfill between 1971 and 1980. Various wastes including construction and demolition
debris, garage and industrial wastes, and drums are believed to be in the site. The
area surrounding the site is primarily low density residential property. The borrow pit
on the site was originally dug to support construction of 1-90/84, which is adjacent to
the site. In 1971 the pit was filled with ground water and was used for a short time as
a recreational lake. Between 1971 and 1975 the pit was filled with various debris.
Complaints were filed by local-residents about odors emanating from the site, and in
1976 the owners were ordered to drain the lake and restrict fill to demolition debris
only. Later in 1976 the site was sold to Glen and Gordon Martin, who continued filling
operations without a permit until the site was closed in 1980. The primary contaminants
of concern are PAHs, phthalates and heavy metals, found mainly in soils.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: installation of a soil cover
over the landfill with a drainage blanket to control surface seeps; extension of water
mains to affected residents in Gary; onsite consolidation of contaminated sediments;
ground water and surface water/sediment monitoring; and deed restrictions on landfill
property and institutional controls on aquifer use. The. estimated capital cost of the
remedy is $4,747,000 with annual O&M costs of $63,000.

16. ABSTRACT
The LaSalle Electrical Utilities (LEU) site is located in west-central LaSalle County
in the city of LaSalle in north-central Illinois. There are approximately 190 people
and 70 residences located within 1/8 mile of the LEU property. LEU, a former
manufacturer of electrical equipment, began operating prior to World War II. Between
the late 1940s and 1978, PCBs were utilized in the production of capacitors.
Undocumented reports allege the application of PCB-contaminated waste oils as a dust
suppressant both on and off the property until as late as 1969. Following the
regulation of PCBs, manifests document the disposal of PCBs at all regulated
facilities. Beginning in September 1975, numerous government agencies conducted various
inspections and issued numerous complaints and orders to the LEU company as a result of
its manufacturing and handling practices. Soil sampling conducted by the Illinois
Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) in December 1980 documented onsite PCB
contamination. Continued soil sampling revealed offsite contamination in March and May
1981 and the IEPA ordered the company to cease operations in May 1981. The U.S. EPA
conducted immediate removal actions that involved fencing the LEU property and capping a
portion of the heavily contaminated onsite property; capping contaminated offsite
property to the south of the site; and staging, sampling and packaging PCB waste
material for future disposal. Of the total 28,690 cubic yards of soil contaminated

16. ABSTRACT
The Metamora Landfill site is located in Metamora Township, Lapeer County, MI. The
80-acre landfill was previously used for gravel mining and in 1966 as a privately*'owned,
unregulated dump. In 1969 it was upgraded to meet existing standards, and licensed to
receive general refuse. The. site accepted both municipal and industrial waste until its
closure in 1980. While undocumented, it is likely that the previous owner disposed of
waste and drums in unlined excavations (former mining pits or borrow areas). In 1981
approximately eight drums were discovered durinq borrow excavations for a nearby solid
waste transfer station. The. Michigan Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) sampled
seven of these drums and identified the presence of VOCs, and other organics. A 1982
MDNR study concluded that as many as 35,000 drums, some containing liquid waste, might
be present in five disposal areas around the site. The survey concluded that area one
(16,000 drums) and area four (10,000 drums) contained about 74% of the total estimated
number of burial drums. While each of the five disposal areas was initially considered,
areas two, three, and five were eliminated due to the inability to confirm drum presence
at inaccessible depths. Remedial actions for ground water, which poses a public health
threat, and soil have not been addressed due to insufficient data detailing the extent
of contamination. Based on an estimated 26,000 drums and associated waste material
between drums in areas one and four, the total estimated waste volume requiring disposal

16. ABSTRACT
The New Brighton/Arden Hills/St. Anthony site is located approximately two miles
north of the Twin Cities of Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota, and is one of several
communities in the area which obtains its municipal water supplies entirely from ground
water resources. In June 1981, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) and the
Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) detected organic solvent contamination in the
ground water used for municipal drinking water in New Brighton. Prior to these
findings, the City of New Brighton had constructed and operated a total of nine
municipal wells. From 1982 to 1984 the City shut down six wells (1 to 6), deepened two
municipal wells (8 and 9) to the Mt. Simon-Hinckley aquifer and constructed three new
wells (10, 11 and 12). These new wells were also finished in the Mt. Simon-Hinckley
aquifer. Of the original municipal wells completed in the Prairie du Chien-Jordan
aquifer, only well 1 presently shows minimal contamination.
During this same period, several Initial Remedial Measures (IRMs) were implemented at
the site. In 1983, granular activated carbon filters were installed on two of New
Brighton's wells (5 and 6) to meet peak summertime demands. In addition, pipeline
connections to New Brighton's and Arden Hills' water mains were made for several private
well users whose wells had excessive levels of contamination. Finally in 1984, the City
of St. Anthony, which is immediately south of New Brighton, received a temporary water

connection to the City of Roseville. This State-lead IRM was necessary
because the City of St. Anthony was experiencing water shortages due to the
contamination and subsequent closure of one of their three Prairie du
Chien-Jordan aquifer municipal wells. Contamination is now being detected
in the remaining two municipal wells and a Phased Feasibility Study (PFS) is
currently being conducted for the City's water supply.
The selected remedial action for this site includes the construction of a
new well into the Mt. Simon-Hinckley aquifer system to replace New Brighton
well 7. Total capital cost for the selected remedial alternative is
estimated to be $600,500 with O&M costs approximately $22,820 per year.
MPCA is continuing its comprehensive remedial investigation/feasibility
study (RI/FS) for the site. A preliminary RI characterizing the site, major
migration pathways, and preliminary identification of significant sources
has already been completed. MPCA is planning to complete the remaining
tasks of the comprehensive RI/FS in 1987 in order to evaluate potential
final remedial action(s).

16. ABSTRACT
Novaco Industries is a one-building facility that occupies a 2.6-acre rectangular "
parcel of land, located at 9411 Summerfield Road, at the intersection of Summerffeld and
Piehl, Temperance, Michigan. The site lies 50 mile.s south of Detroit and 5 miles north
of Toledo, Ohio. The Novaco Industries study area consists of Novaco Industries,
Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 9656 and the Moyer residential property. A
below-ground plating tank located within the Novaco Industries building leaked an
unknown quantity of chromic acid into the ground water on or before June 13, 1979.
Within 24 days following Novaco Industries' detection of the leak, chromium was
discovered in Novaco1s 20-foot well, as well as the VFW Post's well which was screened
in both the shallow and deep aquifer. A year later, chromium was detected in a
residential well west of the VFW Post.
An extraction wellfield, a treatment plant consisting of electrochemical reduction,
precipitation, filtration, and ion exchange polishing units, and a pipeline to convey
treated ground water to Indian Creek will be constructed onsite and on the adjoining
properties in order to implement the selected remedial alternative. Approximately 36
million gallons of contaminated ground water will be extracted from the sand/gravel
aquifer over a 4-year period. The extracted ground water will be treated onsite to
remove trivalent and hexavalent chromium and will then be discharged into Indian Creek,

The Reilly Tar and Chemical Corporation (RTCC) site occupies 80 acres in St. Louis
Park, Minnesota. The Republic Creosote Works, which operated 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 the underlyinq
aquifers. The primarv contaminants of concern include: PAHs and phenols.
The Remedial Action Plan (RAP) attached to the Consent Decree prescribes the
followinq remedial actions, remedial investigations and feasibility studies to be
completed over the next five years: Restoration of drinking water supply and water
quality by construction of a Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) system at St. Louis Park
Wells (SLP 15/10). This task has been completed by the RTCC and is in the start-up
process; monitoring and contingency treatment of the Mt. Simon/Hinckley aquifer;
monitoring, pumping and treatment of the Ironton/Galesville aquifer; monitoring, pumoinc
and treatment of the Prairie du Chien/Jordan aauifer until drinking water quality is
uniformly established within the area of gradient control; monitoring and continqent
action for the maintenance of drinking water quality in the St. Peter aquifer;
monitoring, pumping and treatment of the Drift and Platteville aquifers; monitorinq,

6. ABSTRACT —
The Seymour Recycling Corporation (SRC) site, encompassing a fourteen-acre area, is
approximately two miles southwest of Seymour, IN. Approximately one hundred homes are
located within a one-mile radius of the site in a predominately agricultural area. Fron
about 1970 until early 1980 SRC operated a processing center for waste chemicals. Over
the years toxic and hazardous wastes, including solvents, metal finishing wastes and
other materials, accumulated on the site in 55-gallon drums, bulk tanks and other
containers. Wastes leaked and spilled from the drums creating fire and odor problems.
A Consent Decree, reached in the fall of 1982 after a May 1980 suit filed by the United
States against the owners and site operators, resulted in the removal of approximately
the upper one foot of contaminated soil from about 75 percent of the site's surface.
Contaminated soil remains, however, and extends throughout the shallow and deep
aquifer. The site is fenced and partially covered with a temporary soil cap. Homes
surrounding the site have recently been connected to the city water distribution system
due to the threat of ground water contamination. The primary contaminants of concern
include: VOCs, organics, TCE, DCE, benzene, toluene, and heavy metals.
• The selected remedial alternative for the site is the implementation of a plume
stabilization system which will extract, treat, and discharge approximately 101,690,000
gallons of contaminated ground water to the Seymour Wastewater Treatment Plant. The
estimated capital cost for this remedy is ^300.000. O&M costs are estimated to be

16. ABSTRACT
The Spiegelberg site is a waste disposal pit located in Green Oak Township,
Livingston County, MI. Currently, the Spiegelberg property is being mined for sand,
gravel, and peat deposits. From 1966 to 1977 the sdte was used for the disposal of
domestic waste, with the main disposal area located in an abandoned sand and gravel pit
in the northern third of the site. From 1967 to 1978 paint sludge was dumped near the
surface water portion of the gravel pit. The paint sludge area is approximately
one-half acre in size and is reportedly thirty feet deep in several places. There are
two layers of hardened paint sludge: at a depth of three to six feet; and at a depth o
thirteen feet. Five-gallon paint buckets were also buried at a depth of approximately
ten feet and paint mixed with sand is present at various depths. Only private, domestic
wastes have been disposed of at the site since the end of 1978. Organic contaminants
have been detected in onsite and downgradient monitoring wells indicating the migration
of these contaminants from the site into the ground water. The primary contaminants of
concern include: VOCS, organics, inorganics, base/neutral compounds, TCE, toluene,
xylene, metals.
The selected remedial action for the site includes: excavation of 15,000 cubic yard;
of waste material which will be separated into liquid and solid sludges and paint
residue with garbage intermixed; offsite incineration of approximately 5,000 cubic yard!

16. ABSTRACT
The Cecil Lindsey site consists of 5.2 acres, located in rural northeastern Arkansas,
approximately 3.5 miles northeast of the city of Newport. Cecil Lindsey accepted*waste
for salvage and/or disposal from the early 1970s until 1980. The site was first used as
a salvage operation, where machinery, automobiles, culvert pipe, and other scrap metal
were collected. The southern portion of the site 'was formerly used to raise pigs and
contains a fenced area, an open shed, and a sandpoint well. Later, the northern part of
the site was used as a municipal dump by the community of Diaz, located approximately 2
miles to the west. The Cecil Lindsey site was also reportedly used for the disposal of
industrial waste. Several local companies may have used the site, but the type and
extent of industrial waste disposal is not well documented. The results of the field
investigation indicate the presence of very limited onsite soil and ground water
contamination and offsite surface water and sediment contamination. Onsite soil samples
showed low inorganic concentrations which exceeded background levels scattered
throughout the site and also isolated volatile organic contamination. In addition,
onsite ground water samples consistently exceeded background concentrations for
inorganics, but the onsite volatile organic contamination is limited.
The results of the field investigations have indicated that the low levels of
contamination at the Cecil Lindsey site do not create a significant danger to present

people live within one mile of Geneva. The closest residences are located less than 50
feet from the east and southwest site boundaries, and two businesses are located 300
feet west of the site. The site is currently located in the 100-year flood plain and is
drained by the adjacent flood control channel. Geneva Industries is an abandoned
refinery which manufactured a variety of organic compounds and fuel oils from 1967
through 1978. Surface and subsurface onsite soils have been contaminated as a result of
operational spills, leaking drums, tanks, and lagoons, and landfill/land farming
operations. Shallow ground water is contaminated onsite and some offsite migration has
occurred east of the site. A planned removal was performed by EPA between October 1983
and February 1984 to close out three onsite lagoons, remove all drummed waste on the
surface, remove all offsite soils containing greater than 50 ppm PCBs, install a cap
over onsite soils containing greater than 50 ppm PCBs, and improve site drainage. Other
removal actions to plug abandoned wells onsite and remove storage tank materials were
performed in May and September 1984 respectively. Further studies were conducted to
determine an appropriate permanent site remedy. The primary contaminants of concern
include: VOCs, PAHs, TCE, PCBs, phenols and fuel oils.

16. ABSTRACT
The Odessa Chromium I site consists of a series of chromium contaminated wells within
300 acres of residential, commercial and industrial properties and facilities ju*t
outside the northwestern city limits of Odessa, Ector County, TX. Nearly every
residence or commercial facility is served by one or more water wells completed in the
Trinity aquifer which offers the only source of potable ground water. Two potential
sources of ground water contamination at the site have been identified: the 4318 Brazos
property, and Nipco at 2104 West 42nd street. Between 1972 and 1977 several chrome
plating operations functioned at the 4318 Brazos property. Waste water from the plating
operations and heavy metal contaminants are believed to have been dumped directly onto
the ground on the northern side of the building and/or piped into storage tanks/drums
which frequently were allowed to overflow. An abandoned well on the site is suspected
of providing a direct pathway to the aquifer during periods of substantial disposal or
heavy rain. Nipco, also on the Odessa Chromium I site, is presently operating a metal
plating facility. In November 1983, the Texas Department of Water Resources (TDWR)
requested the EPA conduct a planned removal action to extend the city water lines to the,
affected area. However, in June 1984, the TDWR notified EPA that the plan was not
feasible due to an Odessa city ordinance prohibiting the supply of water to customers

16. ABSTRACT
The Odessa Chromium II site consists of a series of chromium contaminated wells
within 200 acres of urban area located just outside the northwestern city limits *bf
Odessa, Ector County, TX. The site area is composed of a mixture of residential,
commercial and industrial facilities. Nearly every residence or commercial facility is
served by one or more water wells completed in the Trinity aquifer which offers the only
source of potable ground water. Two potential sources of ground water contamination at
the site have been identified; 5329 Andrews Highway, and Wooley Tool and Manufacturing
at 57th Street and Andrews Highway. Between 1950 and 1965, the 5329 Andrews Highway
site was occupied by Continental Products of TX, a producer of a chromium containing
cooling water additive. Basin Radiator and Supply, commencing operations at this site
sometime between 1965 and 1969, was investigated by the local Health Department in 1970
in response to a complaint of contaminated well water on the property to the south of
the company. Wastewater analysis, at that time, did not indicate the presence of
chromium, but in 1978, a partially buried steel tank leaked a cleaning vat solution
containing 2.8 mg/1 chromium. Wooley Tool and Manufacturing, operating since about 1950
utilized chromates in their cooling water system until about 1976. This system, tied
into one of the plant's water wells, could have inadvertently back flushed into the well
during occasional slow downs due to the absence of a check

16 ABSTRACT
The Sikes Disposal Pits site is located on a 185-acre site, approximately 2 miles
southwest of Crosby, TX. It is bordered by the San Jacinto River on the west, Jackson
Bayou on the north, and U.S. Highway 90 on the south. The site lies in the 100-year
flood plain of the river while portions lie within the 10-year and 50-year flood plain.
The site has been flooded four times since 1969. .The area immediately surrounding the
site is largely underdeveloped with numerous active and abandoned sandpits and low lying
swamp areas. The area plays host to sport fishermen as well as water sport enthusiasts
on the nearby river and bayou. One family lives onsite. The only residential
development in close proximity is 500 feet southwest. Between the early 1960s and 1967,
Sikes Disposal Pits operated as a waste depository. Chemical wastes from area
petrochemical industries and numerous drums were deposited onsite in several old sand
pits. A preliminary sampling at the site in 1982 indicated the presence of phenolic
compounds and other organics. In June 1983 a removal action performed at the site by
the EPA removed approximately 440 cubic yards of phenolic tars from a partially buried
pit. Subsequent studies at the site indicated the need for a total remedial site plan.
Onsite soils and surface water from the sludge areas as well as Tank Lake were found to
be contaminated. Ground water in the shallow aquifer below the site has been heavily
contaminated; no residential wells are currently affected. Neither surface

16. ABSTRACT
The United Creosoting site is a 100-acre tract of land located in the City of Conroe,
Montgomery County, Texas. The site is an abandoned wood preserving facility over which
two new businesses and a residential subdivision have been built. The site operated
from 1946 to 1972, treating wood with creosote and pentachlorophenol (PCP). Prior to
salvage and removal operations in 1972, the site contained a coal-tar distillation
still, a processing building, tanks and pressure cylinders, two waste ponds, and several
areas where treated lumber was-stored. The only remaining evidence of the operation are
remnants of the-waste ponds, an office building and a garage structure. During the
summer of 1980, Montgomery County obtained soils from the United Creosoting site to be
used in improving local roads in a nearby subdivision. Soil material consisted of
surface soils and pond backfill from the Clark Distributing Company property. Citizens
living on one of the "improved" streets complained of headaches, burns, respiratory
problems and damage to vegetation. Samples indicated that soils were contaminated with
PCP in concentrations up to 20.3 mg/1. Montgomery County officials removed the
contaminated soils from the affected roadways and disposed of them by landfarming. In
early December 1983, EPA initiated an Immediate Response Action at United Creosoting,
taking over 25 soil samples. Samples indicated the presence of PCP, chlorinated dioxins
(no tetrachlorinated dioxins), and dibenzofurans. EPA ordered Clark Distributing to

undertake an Immediate Response Action within the area of the former waste
ponds. Work began in November 1983 and consisted of regrading exposed
contaminated soils to divert surface water drainage away from the
subdivision, capping contaminated soils with a synthetic membrane cap and 6
inches of compacted clay, fencing the capped area, and constructing drainage
ditches to channel cap area runoff to the south of the Clark property
(vacant land). Work on this activity was completed in April 1984, and the
RI/FS for the whole site area was begun in December of 1984.
The selected remedial action for the site includes: purchase and
demolish six homes located directly above and adjacent to the former pond
area; conduct permanent relocations of the persons currently residing in
these homes; consolidate surface soils contaminated with greater than 100
ppm of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and surface soils which are
visibly contaminated onto the former waste pond area; construct a temporary
cap over consolidated soils; periodically evaluate the availability of
offsite disposal facilities and emerging alternative technologies; excavate
and dispose of the soils contaminated with greater than 100 ppm of PAHs in
the former pond area and in the former storage tank area when an appropriate
facility or innovative technology becomes available; backfill excavated
areas and restore ground surface with an appropriate cover; and allow ground
water attenuation through natural processes of dilution and adsorption. The
estimated capital costs of the remedy range from $4.5 million for future
offsite land disposal to $140 million for offsite incineration. Factors
such as site preparation, material and energy reguirements, and disposal
requirements must be evaluated before a cost estimate can be developed.
Annual O&M costs are expected to be $43,000 during the interim closure
period.

16. ABSTRACT
The Des Moines TCE site, in the flood plain of the Raccoon River, is located just
southwest of downtown Des Moines, Polk County, Iowa, near where Fleur Drive crosses the
Raccoon River. The area has industrial/commercial use and recreational parkland -use. A
major feature of the site is the underground infiltration gallery used by the Des Moines
Water Works (DMWW) as a source of the public water supply. The site was discovered in
1984 after trichloroethylene (TCE) was detected in the city's public water supply. The
Dico Company, operating since at least 1961, disposed of an unknown quantity of oily
waste sludge containing TCE onto their parking lot for dust control and into a drainage
ditch on their property. Two other businesses that used TCE have operated on the site
area in the past, one an aircraft parts manufacturer and the other a printing company.
However, the major source of ground water contamination is the soil at the Dico
Property. Most of the area east of the Raccoon River has been filled to raise the land
above flood level. Contaminants may have been disposed in those areas along with fill
material. Migration has caused contaminated ground water to flow into the underground
infiltration gallery system. The primary contaminants of concern include: TCE, PCE,
1,'2-dichloroethene, vinyl chloride.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: construction of extraction
wells to collect the contaminated ground water; isolation of the northern-most section

16. ABSTRACT
Denver Radium Site Streets is located in Denver, Colorado. This operable unit is
comprised of eight street segments in the Cheesman Park area and one segment in tn*e
upper downtown area. The nine contaminated street segments are owned by the City and
County of Denver and extend approximately 4.5 miles through largely residential areas.
The Denver Radium Site Streets contain a 4- to 6-inch layer of radium contaminated
asphalt. The contaminated layer is underlain by compacted gravel rpad base and is
usually overlain by 4 to 12 inches of uncontaminated asphalt pavement. There is an
estimated 38,500 cubic yards of contaminated material covering approximately 832,000
square feet. Radioactive contamination does not extend beyond the paved right-of-way of
the streets and generally does not appear to have migrated into the soils below the
contaminated asphalt. Radium concentrations at representative locations on the streets
range from 4 to 79 picocuries per gram. Surface gamma radiation readings generally fall
below 20 microroentgens per hour above background.
The selected remedial action for this site includes: leaving the contaminated
material in place; improving institutional controls; and removing any contaminated
material excavated during routine maintenance, repair, or construction activities in the
affected streets to a facility approved for storage or disposal of contaminated
naterial. The estimated initial cost of the remedy is $30,000. This includes the cost
of studying and (See Attached Sheet) ___________________————

16. ABSTRACT
The Denver Radium/ ROBCO site encompasses both the Robinson Brick Company facility
(ROBCO) and the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad (DRGWR) right-of-way in Denver,
CO. The ROBCO property is located on the site of the former National Radium Institute
(NRI) facility, a private corporation operating between 1914 and 1920 which produced
radium under an agreement with the U.S. Bureau of Mines. In 1979 the EPA discovered a
reference to the NRI in a 1916 U.S. Bureau of Mines report. Subsequent research
revealed the ROBCO property as one of thirty-one radioactive sites in the Denver
metropolitan area. There are seventeen buildings and sheds on site. Two of the
buildings, the laboratory and office, are original NRI structures. There is no serious
public health risk at present from the radon gas and its decay products found onsite.
However, since radium has a half-life of 1600 years, there is a long-term potential for
increased public health risk if the radium-contaminated materials were misused or
inadvertantly spread.
The. EPA preferred alternative, full removal and permanent offsite disposal, entails:
removal of approximately 6400 cubic yards of radium-contaminated soil from the ROBCO
property and approximately 600 cubic yards of radium contaminated soil from the DRGWR
right of way; removal of approximately 200 cubic yards of debris from the demolition of
the radioactively contaminated laboratory and office buildings on the ROBCO property;

and disposal of the contaminated soil and debris at a facility suitable for
the permanent disposal of low-level radioactive waste. Until a
cost-effective site suitable for permanent disposal is selected and, if
necessary, acquired and developed, this remedy cannot be implemented.
Therefore, the EPA is actively pursuing a temporary offsite storage remedy.
If a temporary offsite facility does not become available within a
reasonable period of time, implementation of a temporary onsite response
action will be thoroughly evaluated. The estimated deferred capital cost
for the full removal and permanent offsite disposal is $1,417,700 with no
annual O&M. The estimated capital costs for the temporary remedies are
$2,019,900 for offsite storage and $1,912,400 for onsite storage. These
costs include future transport costs of the waste material to a permanent
storage facility. For either temporary remedy, there will be an estimated
annual O&M cost of $6,000 which will be incurred for three to seven years
depending upon the time needed to identify a permanent storage facility.

16. ABSTRACT
The Libby Ground Water Contamination site, in the northwest corner of Montana,
consists of Champion International Corporation's active lumber and plywood mill, the
City of Libby, and surrounding developed but unincorporated areas. The Champion lumber
and plywood mill was owned and operated by the J. Nells Lumber Company from 1946-1957,
and by St. Regis Company from 1957-1985. Abandoned wood treating operations on the mill
property are the source of ground water contamination. Between 1946 and 1969, wood
treating fluids were disposed of and spilled at several different mill locations; waste
water, formed as vapor in the retorts, was placed in onsite waste pits; and tank bottom
sludges from wood treating fluid tanks were periodically removed and hauled to the waste
pits. In addition, spills of treating fluid occurred onsite. In 1979, shortly after

The selected remedial action for this first operable unit includes the
continuation and expansion of the Buy Water Plan sponsored by Champion and
the enactment of an ordinance which prohibits installation of new wells for
human consumption and irrigation, but would allow well installation for use
in closed systems. The estimated capital cost for this remedy is $152,000
with annual O&M costs of $64,000, both to be paid by Champion. Federal
funds will be required for oversight of Champion's actions at an estimated
annual cost of $20,000.

6. ABSTRACT
The Marshall Landfill, located three miles southeast of Boulder, Boulder County, CO,
consists of two parcels: an 80-acre active County landfill and an 80-acre inactive
landfill due north. Between 1965 and 1974, the inactive landfill accepted unstabilized
sewage sludge and many unidentified and potentially hazardous wastes. Septic wastes an
possibly liquid industrial wastes were also disposed offsite in two, now closed, septic
ponds. Since 1974, the active landfill has accepted sewage sludge and municipal waste.
(Industrial waste may have been accepted during the early years of operation.) Since
1975 the active landfill has been operated by Landfill Inc. (LI), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Browning-Ferris Industries (BFI). Prior to 1978, County inspectors
observed landfill leachate seepage into Community Ditch, a conveyor of potable water
from nearby Marshall Lake to the City of Louisville and irrigation water for the Farmer
Reservoir and Irrigation Co. Two remediation actions have been taken subsequent to the
July 1982 EPA proposal for inclusion on the NPL: a mid-1983 Cooperative Agreement to
which LI agreed to install a pipeline to convey water from Marshall Lake across the
inactive landfill and conduct an RI/FS; and an October 1983 order by EPA to LI to
install the above mentioned pipeline, and to submit to EPA data and reports prepared
pursuant to the Cooperative Agreement. The primary contaminants of concern include:
VOCs including TCE, PCE, DCE, and benzene, and heavy metals including cadmium and lead.

16. ABSTRACT
The North Dakota Arsenic Trioxide site consists of twenty townships in the Richland,
Ransom, and Sargent counties in southeastern North Dakota. About 4,500 people live in
this sparsely populated farmland area. Ground water use includes residential
consumption, irrigation, and livestock watering. The contamination, limited to ground
water, appears to have two sources: naturally occurring arsenic contained in shales
native to the area; and an estimated 330,000 pounds of arsenic-laced bait used to
control grasshopper infestations in the 1930s and 1940s. In 1979, during quality
monitoring of the municipal water supplies, the Water Supply and Pollution Control
division of the North Dakota State Department of Health detected elevated levels of
arsenic in the towns of Lidgerwood and Wyndmere. Additional monitoring found widesprea<
and highly variable occurrences of arsenic in rural areas. In the late 1970s,
approximately 278 homes in Lidgenwood, which use private well systems, were considered
to be at a health risk due to arsenic exposure. An emergency response action, to be
instituted by the EPA and scheduled for implementation in 1986, will consist of
installing point-of-use treatment units for affected households, and provide for furthei
study of a former arsenic-bait mixing site at Wyndmere. The primary contaminant of
concern is arsenic trioxide.

16. ABSTRACT ~~ ~
The Smuggler Mountain site is located immediately northeast of the City of Aspen in
Pitkin County, CO. It comprises 110 acres of waste rock, tailings, and slag containing
high levels of lead and cadmium. The site is in close proximity of Aspen, CO which has
a year-round population of 4,500. In many cases, development in the Aspen area has
taken place directly over waste piles, or waste piles have been moved to the sides of
developed areas and remain as berms or mounds of contaminated soil. Portions of
contaminated soil have also been used for fill in some areas. The City of Aspen obtains
drinking water from surface waters in the area. The Roaring Forke River passes the site
approximately 1,000 feet downgradient to the southwest, and is the nearest surface
water. The mining wastes which characterize the site are the result of years of
extensive mining, milling and smelting operations. As a result, wastes are highly
dispersed, and little is known about their disposition. Soil is the primary
contaminated medium; however, contaminants have been detected in some ground and surface,
waters.
The selected remedial action for the site is broken into two distinct operable
units. Operable Unit 1 - excavation and permanent onsite disposal of soils with lead
above 5,000 ppm, including a RCRA multi-layer cap; soil capping of all areas with lead
between 1,000 and 5,000 ppm lead; five-year ground water monitoring; and provision of a

16. ABSTRACT
The Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) Tie Treatinq Plant is located southwest of Laramie,
Wyoming to the west of Laramie River. UPRR began operations at the site in 1886 end
treated railroad ties and other wood products until 1983. Wood preservinq agents used
by UPRR or its contractor (the J.H. Baxter Company) in the treatment process included
zinc chloride (1P86-1931), a creosote oil and asphalt-based petroleum/residuum oil
mixture (1928-1983), and PCP (1956-1983). During the first 70 years of operation,
process wastes from the plant were disposed of in the Laramie Waste Collection ponds.
Contamination outside of the collection ponds was initially discovered in October 1981
as a result of RCRA interim status ground water monitoring reauirements. Currently,
approximately 140 acres of ths 700 acre site are contaminated. The. contamination ranges
from soil saturated with free oil to ground water containing dissolved contaminants.
The._primary contaminants of concern include: creosote, PCP, and oils.
The selected interim source control remedy is a Contaminant Isolation System which
includes: realignment of the Laramie River channel 150 feet further west from the
site; a soil-bentonite slurry barrier wall constructed through the alluvium and bedrock
around the contaminated areas; a reverse-gradient ground water draining and pumping
system; an activated carbon water treatment plant. The treated water will be discharged

16. ABSTRACT
Iron Mountain Mine (IMM) is located in the southeastern foothills of the Klamath
Mountains, approximately nine miles northwest of the City of Redding, California.
Between the 1860s and 1962, IMM was periodically mined for iron, silver, gold, copper,
zinc, and pyrite. The mine area, believed to be one orebody which has been segmented by
faulting, is located on 4,400 acres of property that includes underground workings, an
open pit mining area, waste rock dumps, and tailings piles. Rainfall, infiltrating intc
the underground mine workings, mixes with ground water and the ore zone to produce
sulfuric acid and high concentrations of zinc, cadmium, and copper. The resulting heavy
metal-laden acidic waters, referred to as acid mine drainage (AMD), eventually discharge
through mine adits or ground water seepage into the Spring Creek watershed streams,
Spring Creek Reservoir, and the Sacramento River. The primary contaminants of concern
include: AMD, copper, cadmium, and zinc.
The desired remedial action for this site was not selected due to excessive cost.
Instead, a fund balancing waiver to the NCP was invoked, and an alternative that most
closely approaches ARARs was selected. The alternative includes: capping selected
cracked and carved ground areas using a soil-cement mixture or other suitable material;
diverting clean surface water in Upper Spring Creek to Flat Creek, diverting clean
surface water in South Fork Spring Creek to Rock Creek, and diverting clean Upper

16. ABSTRACT
The Queen City Farms (QCF) site is a 320-acre parcel of land located approximately
2.5 miles north of the town of Maple Valley in King County, Washington. The site*
includes a wooded area, a lake known as Queen City Lake, six industrial waste disposal
ponds, an airstrip, several residences, and a gravel pit. The six ponds on the site
were used for the disposal of industrial wastes from approximately 1955 to 1964.
Because of the time period, few records exist regarding the exact types of wastes taken
to the site. However, in 1980 six waste ponds were sampled by EPA contractors. The
analyses of water, sludge, and sediment samples identified the presence of 44 priority
pollutants. Some of the contaminants found were: chromium, lead, PCBs, acids, volatile
organics, toluene and trichloroethylene (TCE).
The recommended Initial Remedial Measure is to be carried out in three phases. Phase
1 will include mobilization onto the site, installation of the initial upgradient water
diversion system, and processing of Pond 1 waste. Phase 2 will involve processing of
Pon,d 2 and 3 materials. Phase 3 will include the installation of the final upgradient
water diversion system and cap, final grading and revegetation, and demobilization from
the site.
A truck-mounted phase separator will be located onsite to process the waste. Pond
water will be used to charge the separator. Sludge will be pumped to the separator

using a pond skimmer which will be supplemented with mechanical excavation
of sludge. The phase separator will separate the sludge into four
components: grit, cake, oils, and water. The liquid portions of the
separated phases will be stabilized such that an exothermic reaction occurs
and no free liquid is present. Stabilized material and other solid products
produced during the phase separation will be treated as hazardous waste and
transported to a RCRA-permitted chemical waste landfill. In addition,
contaminated soils which surround the ponds will be moved into depressions
created by removal of the chemical sludge (prior to capping). Finally, to
assess the performance of this source control remedial action, a monitoring
system will be installed. Total capital cost for all phases of the selected
initial remedial measure is estimated to be $3,439,000. In accordance with
the CERCLA Section 106 Consent Order, the PRPs will establish a perpetual
trust to assure the continued funding of monitoring and maintenance
activities in the area of Ponds 1, 2, and 3, where the Initial Remedial
Measures will be conducted.

6. ABSTRACT
The Toftdahl Drum site, approximately 15 acres in area is located four miles
east-southeast of Battleground, Washington, and contains three main areas where »•
hazardous substance hauling activities may have occurred: a drum cleaning area; an
initial burial trench; and a final drum burial area. The surface of the site slopes
downward to the northwest to a spring and a small westerly flowing tributary of Morgan
Creek (informally referred to as Toftdahl Creek), or about 350 feet to the southeast
directly to Morgan Creek. The general land use in the area is rural residential with
approximately 14 homes within an approximately 90-acre area. In the early 1970s, Mr.
Toftdahl allegedly had 100 to 200 drums containing unknown amounts of industrial waste,
possibly from a plywood manufacturer, delivered to his property. His intent was to
clean and resell the drums. Unable to resell about 50 uncleaned drums, he constructed a
burial trench about 500 feet from the cleaning location, placed crushed drums into the
trench, and covered the trench with mounded dirt. The drums were rediscovered in the
mid 1970s when the Davis Family, new owners of a portion of the Toftdahl property,
attempted to level the mound over the burial trench. In 1978 or 1982, Mr. Toftdahl
removed approximately 38 drums and disposed of them in a local landfill, while
approximately 12 drums were reburied in the final burial location. In 1982 the
Washington Department of Ecology, notified of the possible presence of buried drums at

the site, conducted an investigation. Approximately six crushed and badly
rusted drums were sampled and stored onsite and a fence was placed around
the final drum burial area. In November 1983 the Washington Department of
Social and Health Services (DSHS) determined, based on the available
sampling data from nearby residential wells, there was no immediate public
health hazard in the drinking water. However, DSHS was concerned about the
potential for future contamination from the high levels of heavy metals and
synthetic organic compounds detected in the soil and drum samples. While
several priority pollutants were detected in the RI sampling and analysis
program, the concentration of such contamination is very small and could
reflect a source(s) not related to this particular drum cleaning and
disposal operation. In most sampling cases, the concentration levels could
not be reliably differentiated from background values or
laboratory-introduced variability. No significant or extensive
contamination of surface soils, surface water, or ground water is present at
the site. Indicator constituents, defined as having been detected at least
one time during investigational sampling include: heavy metals, VOCs,
base-neutral organic compounds, cyanides, and PCBs.
The remedial action selected for this site includes a no further action
response and semi-annual ground water monitoring for five years, followed by
ten years of annual monitoring pending continued funding by the Washington
State Legislature.

16. ABSTRACT
The United Chrome Products (OCP) site is a former industrial hard chrome plating
facility located in Corvallis, Oregon. UCP began electroplating operations in 1956.
Between 1956 and 1975 an onsite dry well was used to dispose of floor drippings,
washings, and product rinsate collected in a sump within the building. The liquids wer
reportedly neutralized with sodium hydroxide and/or soda ash prior to disposal. Use of
the dry well was discontinued in 1975. As a result! of the immediate removal action, to
stabilize the site, all hazardous substance source materials have been removed with the
exception of residual sludges in the bottom of the plating tanks. However, there is
considerable chromium contamination in the soil beneath and around the building and in
the upper and lower aquifers as a result of leaching from the dry well and plating tank
The selected remedial action for this site includes: installation of approximately
15 shallow wells in the upper confined ground water zone; installation of 5 deep wells
in the lower confined production aquifer; limited excavation of contaminated soil and
offsite disposal; installation of onsite treatment equipment (chemical reduction and
precipitation) to remove chromium from extracted ground water; construction of two
percolation basins to flush soil; and installation of culverts. Estimated capital cost
for the selected remedial alternative is $1,580,000 and the annual O&M costs are
approximately $261,000.
