CS: Performer: Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, DC.
AB: 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. Although authorized for only municipal refuse,
tires and demolition debris, industrial wastes and 55-gallon steel drums were
found. In 1979 the New Hampshire Water Supply and Pollution Control Commission
found contamination of surface water and ground water caused by UOCs. 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: UOCs
including TCE, extractable organics , heavy-metals , and inorganics. The
remedial action consists of extending water service to the effected area from
another water supply works. The estimated cost for this remedy is 52,372,000
with estimated annual O&M of $57,000.

AB: The Beacon Heights Landfill site is located two miles east of the
intersection of Connecticut Routes 3 and 42 in Beacon Falls, Connecticut
From
the !920's until 1970 the site was known as 'Betkoski's Dump' and consisted of
approximately six acres on which active dumping occurred. According to records
at the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection , waste
accepted at the dump included municipal refuse, rubber, p lastics, and
industrial chemicals and sludges. Landfill operations consisted primarily of
open burning along with burial of noncombustibles. In 1970, the Betkoski
property and adjacent properties totaling 93 acres were purchased by the
Murtha Trucking Company, and the name was changed t'o Beacon Heights, Inc.
Landfill. At this time, the landfill area was expanded to approximately 30
acres. Records of the CT DEP, including a 1373 report by the landfill
engineer, listed rubber, plastics, oils, hydrocarbons, chemical liquids and
sludges, and solvents as being disposed of at the landfill by the trucking
company. The selected remedial action for this oite are included.

CS: Performer: Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, DC.
AB: The Cannon Engineering Corporation (CEC> Plymouth Site is located in
Cordage Park, a business and industrial park bordering Plymouth Harbor, in
Plymouth, Massachusetts. The site consists of 2.5 acres which includes three
above ground storage tanks, two of which are estimated to have nominal storage
capacities in excess of 250,000 gallons each, and one which has an estimated
500,000 gallon capacity. The tanks were originally used for the storage of S
marine fuel oil and bunker C oil. In 1976, CEC rented one tank for the
reported storage of waste oil and later rented a second tank. Allegedly, CEC
used the tanks to store hazardous wastes. In 1979, CEC was licensed by the
Massachusetts Department of Environmental Quality Engineering (DEOE) to store
motor oils, industrial oils and emulsions, solvents, laquers, organic
chemicals, inorganic chemicals, cyanide and plating waste, clay and filter
media containing chemicals, plating sludge, oily solids and pesticides.
Potential problems observed at- the site included slow leakage at the bottom
seams of one of'the tanksi adequacy of earthen dikes surrounding the tank.ss

CS: Performer: Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, DC.
AB: The Charles George Land Reclamation Trust Landfill is a privately owned
municipal and industrial waste landfill, operating since 19B7. The landfill
accepted and disposed of chemical waste between 1973 and 1975 under a
hazardous waste disposal permit from the Massachusetts DEQE. Leachate from the
landfill has contaminated nearby residential bedrock wells which were shutdown
July 31, !982 by order of the Massachusetts DEQE. In April 1983, the Charles
George Land Reclamation Trust filed for the protection of the bankruptcy
court. This is a National Priorities List site. The selected remedial act'ion
is to extend an existing water supply system to the Cannongate Condominium and
local private well users whose wells have been found to be contaminated with
volatile organic chemicals from the Charles George site. An RI/FS is being
conducted to identify and evaluate remedial alternatives to mitigate threats
to public health, welfare and the environment. Determination of future
remedial actions will be made upon completion of this work.

homes. Throughout the 1S70s, the site served
various hasardous liquid and chemical wastes
sludge; oily wastes; solvents; acids; caustics; pesticides; phenols; halogens;
metals; fly ash; and, laboratory Pharmaceuticals. Liquid wastes were accepted
at the site in drums and bulk, tank trucks and were dumped directly into
unlined lagoons and seepage pits. The dumping has resulted in soil, surface
and ground water contamination that still persists. Periodically the
semi-solid lagoon materials were excavated and dumped in several ons'ite
Locations and covered with available site soil. Other site operations included
the collection of junked vehicles, machine parts, metal recycling and tire
shredding. In 1977 the discovery of offsite well contamination prompted the
State Superior Court to prohibit dumping of hazardous substances on the Davis
property.

CS: Performer: Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, DC.
AB: The Hocononco Pond site consists of approximately 23 acres, located in the
Town of yestborough, Worcester County, Massachusetts, and is bordered on the
northwest by Hocononco Pond. Research into the past activities at the
Hocononco Pond Site indicates that from 1928 to 1946, the site was used for a
wood-treating operation by Montan Treating Company and American Lumber and
Treating Company. This business consisted of saturating wood products (e.g.,
telephone poles, railroad ties, pilings and fence posts) with creosote to
preserve them. During the operations, wastes were discharged into a pit lagoon
(referred to as the 'former lagoon' >. The lagoon was excavated on the property
to intercept and contain spillage.and waste from the wood-treating operation.
As this lagoon became filled with waste creosote, sludges, and water, its
contents were'pumped into two depressions, referred to as Kettle Pond, which
is Located east of the site, near the west side of Otis Street.

AB: The Industri-piex site is a 245-acre industrial park located in Uloburn,
Massachusetts. Various manufacturing facilities operated on the site from 1353
to 1968, The presence of hazardous substances was detected in 1979. Portions
of stockpiled wastes sloughed off, releasing hydrogen sulfide gases to the
atmosphere and toxic metals and solids 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 alternatives for this site were recommended and are included in this'
report.

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

CS: Performer: Environnental Protection Agency, Washington, OC.
AB: The Ottati and Goss/Great Lakes Container Corporation site (OiG/GLCC> is
located in Kingston, Neui Hampshire west of 'Route 125. The study area for the
RI/FS includes the 35-acre O&G/GLCC site, a marsh area east of Route 125 and
Country Pond adjacent to the marsh area. North Brook and South Brook drain the
marsh at its interface with Country Pond. From the late 1950s through 1967,
Conuiay Barrel & Drum Company (CBD) owned the site and performed drum
reconditioning operations. The reconditioning operations included caustic
rinsing of drums & disposal of the rinse water in a dry well near South Brook,
As a result of State concerns regarding the proximity of the dry well to South
Brook and complaints of resulting South Brook and Country Pond pollution, C80
established leaching pits in an area removed from South Brook. The State's
Water Supply and Pollution Control Commission (WSPCC) reported onsite runoff
and seepage from the leaching pits draining into South Brook and eventually
into Country Pond. Reports included fish kills in Country Pond, dying
vegetation along South Brook, and skin irritation of swimmers in Country Pond.

AN: PB86133998X5P
CS: Performer: Environmental Protection Agency-, Washington, DC.
AB: The Picillo Farm site is located in Coventry, Rhode Island, approximately
20 miles southwest of Providence. Drums containing hazardous wastes and bulk
wastes were illegally disposed within an 8-acre area of the Picillo Farm over
a period of months in 1377. A series of trenches—the northwest trench,
northeast trench, west trench, south trench, and two slit trenches—were used
for this activity. In September 1977, an explosion and fire at the site
brought the dumping activities to the attention of regulatory agencies. Since
September 1577, a number of investigations and remedial activities have-been
conducted at the site. PCBs, organics, and phenols were identified in onsite
soil. The selected remedial actions are included.

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

AB: The Re-Solve, Inc. site is a former waste chemical reclamation facility
situated on six-acres of land in North Dartmouth, Massachusetts. Sounded by
wetlands to the north and east, the land surrounding the site is predominantly
zoned for single family residential use. All residences obtain their water
from private wells located on their property. The Copicut River, .located about
500-feet from the site, has been designated for protection. Between 1956 and
!980, Re-Solve, Inc. handled a variety of hazardous materials including
solvents; waste oils, organic liquids and solids, acids, alkalies, inorganic
liquids and solids and PCBS. Residues from the distillation tower, liquid
sludge waste, impure solvents and burnt tires were disposed of in four onsite
uniined lagoons. An oil waste that accumulated at the bottom of the degreaser
distillation still was disposed of on one portion.of the site through
landfarming. In 1974 the Massachusetts Division of Water Pollution Control
issued Re-Solve, Inc. a license .to collect and dispose of hazardous waste. In
December 1980 the Massachusetts Division of Hazardous Waste agreed to accept
Re-Solve's offer to surrender its disposal license.

AB: The Q'Imperio Property site is an inactive waste disposal dump located in a
semi-rural region of Atlantic County within the Neu Jersey Pinelands Reserve.
The site is relatively flat with slopes ranging from one to three percent. Two
wetlands are located to the north and south of the site, approximately 2000
and 4000 feet away respectively. The site lies in a cleared area with wastes
deposited randomly on the surface and some wastes partially buried. The exact
period of disposal activities at the O'Imperio site is unknown.'However, it is
believed that unauthorized dumping took place from the late 19B0's to 1976. A
limited field investigation was conducted in the fall of 1980 which indicated
that the ground water underlying the site was contaminated with volatile
organics. The site was subsequently included on the EPA Interim Priorities
List. The selected remedial alternative for the D'Imperio site includes
excavation and transportation of 3900 cubic yards of contaminated waste and
soil and surface drums to a RCRA-regulated disposal site; construction of a
RCRA cap following completion of the excavations and pumping and treating
contaminated ground water from two affected aquifers prior to reinjection or
surface discharge. The treatment process is estimated to take 17 months and
will provide for the removal of both organic and inorganic contaminants. After

AB: During a 30-year period ending in 1977, the Hudson River was contaminated
utith polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) from, two capacitor manufacturing plants
owned by the General Electric Company. Field surveys have shown that PCS
contamination is found in 40 submerged sediment hot spots, 5 exposed shoreline
remnant deposits, dredge spoils on the banks of the upper Hudson River and in
estuary sediments. The remedial alternative selected for this site consists of
in-place containment of remnant shoreline deposits. This temporary solution
includes: covering affected areas with an 18-inch thick layer of subsoil1
followed by a. 6-inch layer of topsoil, grading and seeding the cover to
minimize erosion and, if necessary, bank stabilization to prevent scouring. An
alternative to 'address submerged PCB hot spots was not selected at this time
because of the lack of existing data to establish that existing technology
would be effective and reliable. The State will conduct a dredging
demonstration program using funds from Section 116 of the Clean Water Act. If
adequate, the information from this demonstration project will be used to
develop a remedial action which will address both river sediments and the
exposed remnant deposits.

AB: The Uega Alta Public Supply Wells site is a public water supply well field
located in the municipality of Uega Alta, Puerto Rico, approximately 32 km
west of San Juan where ground water is the primary source of water. The well
field consists of eight active wells. It currently supplies about 3.8 million
gallons per day of water to Uega Alta and surrounding residential areas. The
Puerto Rico Aqueduct and Sewer Authority (PRASA) is responsible for operation
and maintenance of the public water supply system. The first indication of
contamination was discovered in June 1983, when a survey of public water wells
made by the U.S. Geological Survey detected 574 ug/1 of trichloroethylene
(TCE) in the Ponderosa public supply well. Other UOCs were detected at lower
concentrations in non-public wells in the well field system and'ground water
contamination was suspected. In June and August of 1983 Ponderosa and well SE
I were shut down by PRASA because of contamination, respectively. This shut
down caused a potential water supply shortage in Vega Alta. PRASA constructed
well Bajura 3 to eliminate the shortage. In 1984 an air stripper was
constructed at the Ponderosa well and operated until May 1985 when technical
problems arose with the air stripper. Currently, ground water is contaminated

York, is a 55-acre, unlined municipal landfill. From 1963 until 1983 municipal
waste disposal operations occurred at the site. Most of the waste disposed of
at the site consisted of typical residential, commercial, institutional and
light industrial waste. However, between March 1974 and January 1975,
Pollution Abatement Services, a hazardous waste incineration facility, was
permitted to dispose of approximately 8,000 drums containing only residue
coatings. Allegedly, 50 - 200 of these drums contained unidentified liquid
waste. The condition of these alleged drums is unknown, as is their location
within the landfill. In September 1983, waste disposal at the landfill ceased
with the opening of the Bristol Hill Landfill approximately 2 miles southeast
of the site. In the fall of !985, closure operations for the Volney Landfill
were completed by the current owner, Osuego County. Because the landfill is
unlined and has a leachate collection system only in. its newer (northern)
section, leachate migration is occurring in both horizontal and vertical
directions. The primary contaminants of concern affecting the ground water
include: vinyl-chloride, benzene, arsenic, UOCs and metals.

base of Blue Mountain. These two smeltors are referred to as the east and west
plants. Since 1898, the New Jersey Zinc facility has produced zinc and other
metals for machinery, Pharmaceuticals, pigments and many other products.
Primary smelting of concentrated sine sulfide ores which was terminated in
December 1980, is the main source of pollution. Prior to December 1980, the
smeltors emitted huge quantities of zinc , lead, cadmium and sulfer dioxide
which led to the defoliation of approximately 2,000 acres on Blue Mountain,
adjacent to the east smeltor. Vegetation damage first appeared on a 1951
aerial photograph as isolated patches on the steep, north-facing slope of Blue

plugged, abandoned natural gas uell encompassing an area of approximately 103
sq ft. In the early 1970s, the Erie County Health Department noted a seep
discharging a noxious, hydrogen sulfide-bearing black liquid. Investigations
focused around whether the liquid was a natural brine emanating from the
underlying Bass Island geologic formation, or was related to the deep well
injection of spent paper pulping liquid by a nearby paper mill.. The Presque
Isle uell was plugged in 1982, and subsequent investigations have revealed no
further release of the hazardous liquid to the environment. No direct
relationship between paper mill injection activities and the original release
has been established. EPA determined that no significant risk or threat to

garbage landfill,- an 80-acre trash landfill and a SG-acre sludge lagoon. The
facility began operation in 1964 accepting trash and ash from the county'.s
adjacent garbage incinerator. In November 1971, the lagoon was created in an
unlined natural depression onsite. Grease trap pump-outs, septic tank and
treated municipal sludges were disposed in the lagoon which contains an
estimated 75,000 cubic yards of sludge. Initial sampling of the lagoon
contents characterize the waste as being in the high range of typical
wastewater treatment plant sludge hazardous constituents. In addition,
concerns have been raised about -the relatively high cyanide and sulfide
concentrations detected. The selected'remedial action includes: dewatering and
stabilisation of the sludge lagoon contents and placement in a single-lined
sanitary landfill cell; and installation of -a cap on the cell that meets the
regulatory reauirements of 40 CFR 264.3l0(a). This ROD addresses only source
control measures. The decision concerning cleanup of grounduater contamination
will be made following an evaluation of these actions and monitoring data.
Total capital cost for the selected remedial action is estimated to be

miles north of the Twin Cities of Minneapol is/'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 (MOH> detected
organic solvent contamination in the ground water used for mu-nicipal drinking
water in New Brighton. Prior to these findings, the City of New Brighton had
constructed and operated a total of nine municipal wells. 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

yere found to be contaminated with, volatile organic solvents in June 1981. The
City opened two new wells in 1982 to reach a lower non-contaminated water
aquifer. Since discovery of the contamination, the levels of hazardous
substances have increased in the remaining undeepened municipal wells. The
city -is presently drilling two additional deeper wells. However, these new
wells will not be available, until the end of the year. Despite water
restrictions, anticipated summertime peak demands for water will not be met
without drawing water from contaminated wells. The cost-effective initial

manufacturing plant which used polychiorinated biphenyls (RGBs) in its die
cast machines for about 20 years ending in the early 1970's. Discharges from
the facility resulted in highly contaminated sediment'in Waukgan Harbor and
contaminated soil in the parking lot north "of the plant and the 'North Ditch,'
a tributary of Lake Michigan. The cost-effective option considered for this
site was excavation and off-site disposal of PCS-contaminated material. This
is the only option that meets the requirements of TSCA and guarantees the halt
of PCB migration. The cost of this option is more than $75 million. Because of
the high cost to implement this option it was necessary to Fund Balance. Fund
Balancing, is appropriate where the alternative that would fully satisfy the
technical requirements of other environmental laws is extremely expensive, and
another alternative which approaches the same level of effectiveness can be
implemented for a much louer cost. The Fund Balanced alternative for this site

military installation for transporting and detailing persons of Japanese
descent. In 1949, the U.S. Government deeded the airport to Crystal City.
Since then, the city has operated the facility as a municipal airport. Several
private aerial pesticide applicating companies conducted business at the
airport until 1382. In April 1983, the Texas Department of Water Resources
investigated the site because of the potential threat to local residents of
waste pesticides left by applicating companies no longer in operation.
Surficial soil at the site was found to be highly contaminated with
pesticides. In October 1383, an Immediate Removal Action, initiated by the
U.S. EPA, consolidated 40 cu. yds of waste and 50-70 drums in tuo onsite
disposal -cells. In May 1984, a second removal action disposed of 19 drums
offsite and secured the site with a fence. Approximately 12,000 cu. yds of
surface soil are contaminated with pesticides including: DDT, toxaphene and
arsenic. The selected remedial action includes: onsite consolidation of

CS: Performer: Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, DC.
AB: The Denver Radium/Card Corporation property is a 17.2-acre site located in
Denver, Colorado. In 1979, the EPA discovered a reference to the National
Radium Institute in 1916 U.S. Bureau of Mines report; Subsequent field
research revealed the presence of thirty-one radioactive sites in the Denver
Metropolitan area, one of these being Card property,-the location of the
original Pittsburgh Radium Company processing facility.;;...The site consists of
five buildings and an oil and waste water pond at the''eastern boundary. There
is no serious public health risk at .present from radium'ior i.ts decay products,
most notable radion gas. However, there is the potential.'for increased public
health risk if the radium contaminated materials are-misused or inadvertently
spread. Currently, radium has been detected in the soil,, - sediment and
underneath the True Truss building. EPA's preferred remedial action for the
Card property is permanent off site disposal. However , "the alternative can not
be implemented until 'a suitable offsite facility is designated.

CS: Performer: Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, DC.
AB: The Denver Radium/ROBCO site 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. Research revealed the ROBCO property as one of thirty-one radioactive
sites in the Denver metropolitan area. 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 1500 years, there is a long-term potential for
increased public health risk if the radium-contaminated materials were misused
or inadvertently spread. An EPA preferred alternative, full removal and
permanent offsite disposal, is proposed but is very costly. Therefore, the EPA
is ac'ti^ely pursuing a temporary offsite storage remedy.

CS: Performer: Environnental Protection Agency, Washington, DC.
A8: The Taputimu Farm is a facility owned by the government of American Samoa
•and is the territory's primary repository of unused and out-dated agricultural
chemicals and pesticides. The facility is constructed of plywood walls with a
corrugated metal roof and is located approximately a quarter mile from a
public beach. The remedial action alternative selected for this site involves
repacking or overpacking the chemical/pesticide materials stored at the
Taputimu Farm, decontaminating the storage .facilities and sealing the
decontaminated surfaces, and transporting all the waste materials to the U.S.
mainland for disposal. The cost of this remedial action is estimated to be
$160,000.

CS: Performer: Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, DC.
AB: The Colbert Landfill, a 40-acre county-owned sanitary landfill is located
in Spokane County, Washington. From 1368 through 1986, the landfill received
both municipal and commercial wastes. During five years, from 1975 to 1980, a
local electronics manufacturing company. Key Tronic Corporation, disposed of .
several hundred gallons per month of spent organic solvents, mainly methylene
chloride and 1,I,1-trichloroethane (TCA) at the landfill. These wastes were
typically brought to the landfill in drums and poured down the sides of open
trenches to mix with the soil or ordinary municipal refuse already in the
trench. During the same period, Fairchild Air Force Base, disposed of various
solvent wastes at the site. Pesticides and refinery tar residues were also
disposed on site, but to date, these contaminants have not been detected in
the ground water. In 1980, nearby residents complained to the Eastern Regional
Office of the Washington Department of Ecology about these disposal practices.

Washington (Initial Remedial Measure), June 1384. Final rept.
AN: PBS52I4187X5P
CS: Performer; Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, DC.
A8: Drinking water uieils in the Tacoma, Washington area were sampled for
contamination by purgeable halocarbons. The sampling results showed that
Lakewood Water District's production Wells H-l arid H-2 were contaminated with
1 ,2-(trans )dichloroethylene , trichloroethylene and tetrachloroethylene. These
wells were taken out of production. It was determined that the septic tanks
and the ground disposal area of a,commercial cleaners were the probable source
of well water contamination. Solvents used in the dry cleaning process were
disposed of in the septic tank and liquid wastes consisting of
solvent-contaminated sludges and water draw-off were disposed on the ground
' outside the cleaners. The cost-effective initial remedial measure for the site
is construction of air stripping towers. The 3-year present worth cost for
this remedy is estimated to be SI,163,000 and annual operation and maintenance
is estimated to cost $82,000.

CS: Performer: Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, DC.
AB: Ponders Corner, or the Lakeuood site as it is identified in the National
Pnor-ities List, is located in Pierce County,'Washington, south of the city of
Tacoma. In July 1981, EPA sampled drinking water wells in the Tacoma, WA area'
for contamination with purgeable halocarbons. The sampling showed that
LaKewood Wells H! and H2 were contaminated with 1 ,2-dichloroethylene <1 ,2
DCE), trichloroethylene- (TCE), and tetrachloroethylene. In mid-August 1981
Lakewood water district took wells HI and HI out of .production. It was
determined that the septic tanks and the ground disposal area of a commercial
cleaners were the probable source of well water contamination. Solvents used
in the dry cleaning process were disposed in the septic tank and liquid wastes
consisting of solvent-contaminated sludges and water draw-off were disposed on
the ground outside the cleaners. Initial Remedial Measures (IRMs) implemented
in June 1984 at-the site included the construction of air stripping towers for
wells HI and H2. The recommended alternative for this second remedial action
are included.

I2A, Tacoma, Washington, May 1985. Final rept.
AN: -P8S5232i55X5F
CS: Performer; Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, DC.
AS: The Sou'th Taco'ma Channel, Well 12A site is in the City of Tacoma,
Washington, and includes industrial, commercial and residential areas. Well
!2A is one of 13 wells used by the City to meet peak summer and emergency
water demands. Research into the past ownership and activities on these
properties indicated that waste oil and solvent reclamation processes and
paint and lacquer thinning manufacturing occurred on the site. As a result of
these processes, both the underlying ground water aquifer and portions of the
surficial soils show contamination with organic solvents. The selected
remedial action includes: air stripping of the ground water (continue to
operate the IRM); extract and treat the ground water at the source to remove
volatile organics; drill "and sample additional soil test borings -during the
design phase, remove an appropriate length of railroad track adjacent to the
Time Oil property and excavate! perform additional undercutting! install the
drain field piping in the excavated areas and cover with a permeable materials
pave or place soil cover on the portions of the unpaved Time Oil parking lot;,
transport and dispose of all excavated, contaminated soils in a RCRA-permitted
landfills maintain institutional controls; monitor ground water and after two
years of operation, evaluate the effectiveness of the ground water extraction
and treatment system. Total capital cost for the selected remedial alternative
is estimated to be $1,590,000, and Q&M costs are estimated to be additional
$50,000 per year.

Prairie, Clark County, Washington, September (986. Final rept..
AN: PB87187738XSP
CS-' Performer: Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, DC.
AB: The -Toftdahl Drum site, approximately !5 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 trenchi a final drum burial area. In the
early l'970s, 100 to 200 drums containing unknown amounts of industrial waste,
possibly from a plywood manufacturer, were delivered to the property. In !982
the Washington Department of Ecology, notified of the possible presence of
burred drums at the site, conducted an investigation. The Washington
Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) determined, based on the
available sampling data from nearby residential uells, 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. 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.

AN: PB86I72525XSP
CS: Performer: Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, DC.
A8: The Western Processing site occupies approximately 13 acres in Kent, King
County, Washington. Originally, Western Processing was a reprocessor of animal
by-products and brewer's yeast. In the 1960s the business expanded to recycle,
reclaim, treat and dispose of many industrial wastes, including waste oils,
electroplating wastes, waste pickle liquor, battery acids, steel mill flue
dust, pesticides, spent solvents, and zinc dross. Some of' the Pacific
Northwest's largest industries had contracts with Western Processing to handle
their wastes. In March 1981 , EPA inspected the site and found numerous RCRA
violations. Further investigations found extensive contamination- of soil,
surface water and ground water both on- and offsite. This prompted EPA to
issue a CERCLA Section 106 order in April 1983, requiring the owners/operators
to cease operations immediately. Current investigations 'have found
approximately 90 of the 125 priority pollutants in in the soil or ground water
on and off the Western Processing'site, or in Mill Creek.
