The 6-acre Jadco-Hughes site is a former solvent reclamation and waste storage facility
in North Belmont, Gaston County, North Carolina. The surrounding area, along with
portions of the site, contains woodlands interspersed with industrial and residential
developments. Two unnamed tributaries that flow through the site ultimately empty into
the Catawba River, which is the predominant public drinking water supply source for the
area. Ground water is not used as drinking water onsite, but offsite residents who do
not yet have municipal water connections utilize this ground water for their drinking
water source. From 1969 to 1975, the plant was operated to reclaim used waste paint
and ink-type solvents. In addition, the plant area was used to store drummed wastes,
including waste chemicals and sludges from area industries. In 1975, the State ordered
the cleanup of two in-ground solvent pits and the consolidation and covering of
contaminated surface soil in an onsite landfill in the southwest portion of the site.
In 1983, all remaining storage tanks, a mobile tanker, and drums were removed from the
site. In addition, responsible parties are currently leading the remediation of
PCB-contaminated soil in a southeastern area of the site, also known as the "swale"
area. This Record of Decision (ROD) addresses the remediation of remaining

contaminated soil and the contaminated ground water and surface water. The primary
contaminants of concern affecting the soil, ground water, and surface water are VOCs
including benzene, PCE, TCE, toluene and xylenes; other organics including PCBs and
phenols; and metals including arsenic, chromium, and lead.
The selected remedial action for this site includes s011 venting followed by vacuum
extraction and carbon adsorption to remove VOCs and other organics; flushing the
treated soil, then collecting and treating the residual water in a ground water
treatment system; collecting ground water with a subsurface drain system; pumping
ground water from highly contaminated areas followed by pretreatment using aeration
and carbon adsorption to reduce VOC concentrations and subsequent offsite discharge
to a publicly owned treatment works (POTW); conducting a treatability study to ensure
compliance with POTW pretreatment standards; replacing an onsite surface water
culvert; monitoring ground water and surface water; sampling soil and sediment; and
implementing institutional controls, including land and ground water use
restrictions. A contingency remedy has also been prepared for this site in the event
that a POTW will not accept the discharge from the site within a reasonable time
frame. The contingency remedy includes ground water pumping and treatment using
ultraviolet oxidation followed by discharge to an onsite tributary. The estimated
present worth cost for this remedial action is $4,830,900, which includes an
estimated present worth O&M cost of $2,665,600 for 30 years. No costs were provided
for the contingency remedy.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS: The goal of this remedial action is to restore
ground water to its beneficial use as a potential drinking water source. Both soil
and ground water cleanup goals were developed to remediate and protect the ground
water. Chemical-specific cleanup goals for soil include PCBs 10.0 mg/kg (TSCA),
arsenic 48.0 mg/kg (background), chromium 140.0 mg/kg (background), and
lead 1.3 mg/kg. Treatment goals for ground water include benzene 1 ug/l (State), PCE
0.7 ug/l (State), phenols 4,200 ug/l (RfD), TCE 2.8 ug/l (State), toluene 1,000 ug/l
(State), xylenes 400 ug/l (State), arsenic 50 ug/l (State), chromium 50 ug/l (State),
and lead 15 ug/l (Recommended Cleanup Goal for Superfund sites) .

Statement of Basis and Purcose
This decision documen~ represents the selected remedial action for
the Jad=~-E~g~es Si~e, loca~ed in North Belmont, North Carolina,
developed in a~cordance with the Comprehensive Environcental
Response, Compensation, and Li~ility Act of 1980 (CERCLA), as
amended by the Supertund Amendme~ts and Reauthorization Act of 1986
(SARA) 42 V.S.C. Section 9601 et. seq., and to the extent
practic~le, the National Oi: and Hazardous Substances Pollution
Contingency Plan (NCP), 40 CFR Part 30e.
This decision is basec upon the contents of the A~~inistrative Record
for the Jadco-Hughes sitE.
The State ot 0: North Carclina concurs on the selected remedy.
Assessment of the Site
Actual or t~reatened releases of hazardous substances from this site,
if not addressed by implementing the response action selected in this
Rec~rd Of Decision (RO~), may present an imminent and substantial
endangerment to pu~lic health, weltare, Or the environment.
Description of the Selected Remedv
This remedy is the tinal action for the site. It addresses the
groundwater contamination, which constitutes the principal health
threat remaining at the site, as we:l as the remaining soil
cont~T.ination, which continues to be a source for groundwater
contamination. Groundwater remediation will be accomplished by
pumping and treating contaminated groundwater. Treated groundwater
will be discharged to a publicly-owned treatment works (POTW). The
discharge of contamination into surface water will be addressed by
the diversion of the flow of surface water and replacement of an
onsite culvert. Soil treatment will be conducted in situ with a soil
vacuum ext~ion system followed by soil flushing.
The major Q08pOnents of the selected remedy include:

Statutory Determinations
The selected and contingency remedies are protective of human health
and the environment, comply with Federal and State requirements that
are legally applicable or relevant and appropriate to the remedial
action, and are cost-effective. These remedies utilize permanent
solutions and alternative treatment (or resource recovery)
technologies to the maximum extent practicable and satisfy the
statutory ~ference for remedies that employ treatment that reduces
toxicity, .a.ility, or volume as a principal element. Because these
remedies wtll Dot result in hazardous substances remaining on the
site above ~alth-bas.d levels, the five-year review will not apply
to this ac1:ion.

S~~e Location anc Desc=~p~io~
The Jadco-Hughes Site is located on Cason St. in an unincorporated
area of North Bel~ont, Gaston Coun~y, North Carolina (Pi~~re 1).
Be~mon~ is loca~ec abo~~ 15 miles west of Charlotte, Nor~h Carolina.
The Jadco-Hughes si~e is approximately six acres in size. Disposal
and storage practices were conducted throughout the six acres.
Figure 2 shows historical features of the site. Residential housing
is located immediate:y north of the site.
Land use of the Lmmediately surrounding areas is a miKture of
residential and incue~ria: developmen~s. Much of the a:ea
surrouncing the s~~e remains forested, though the area is
experiencing gro~h and developmen~ along with the entire ftMetrolina
Area". Accord~ng to the 1980 census, Gaston County had a population
of 162,56e which represe,"~ec a gro~h rate of 9.5\ since 1970. The
n~~er of housing units increased by 28.2\ over the same period. The
1980 population for Belmont was 4,607; neither Catawba Heights nor
North Belmont were listed separately. Approximately 30 families live
within the immediate vicini~y north of the site.
Groundwater and surface water are both used for potable water.
Pub:ic drinking water supplies are drawn predominantly from the
Catawba River. Groundwater is not used as a drinking water supply
onsite but is a water supply resource offsite for residents having
operational wells installed prior to the provision of municipal water
connec~io::s.
Two unnamed tributaries flow through and/or adjacent to the site.
Trib~tary A flows in an easterly direction along the north site
boundary. Tributary B flows through a buried culvert in a northward
direction. The confluence of the two tributaries continue flowing in
a northerly direction merging with Fites Creek and ult~ately flowing
into the Catawba River. Figure 3 shows the surface tributaries as
well as current site condictions.
A flowing .pring is located just east of the site proper. This
spring hi~ically flowed north anc west and merged into tributary B
downstream Of the mouth of the buried culvert. Drainage from this
spring curreatly flows across the former operations area, and
discharge. into Tributary 8.
There are no designated North Carolina State Significant Habitats,
nor historic landmark sites directly or potentially affected by the
site. There are no endangered species or critical habitats within
close proximity of the site. There are no identified coastal or
fresh-water wetlands within an area of influence of the site.
The geologic setting of the portion of Gaston County near the site is
dominated at shallow depths by the Crystalline Rock Aquifer which is
the principle aquifer in the Piedmont physiographic province. Two
distinct water-bearing zones exist beneath the site, the bedrock

aquifer and the upper saprolite a~ifer. Data generated dur~ng the
Remed~al In...tigation (Rr) co~firmed that there is no confining zone
between th..-~ aquifers and therefore, these two zones are
considered hydraulically con~ected. Results of the R! also indicated
that the predominant direction of groundwater flow is to tr-e north.
Site Historv and Enforcement Analvsis
~~e Jadco-Hug~es site is located in North Belmont, North Carolina.
~r.e six-acre s~te is a former s~lvent reclamation and waste storage
facility operated by C.A. Hughes, Inc. from 19i1 to 1975 and later
leased to Jadco, Inc. until operations were suspended and
co~sequently terminated in 1975. Aerial photography indicates that
t~e facility was active as early as 1969. During its operation, the
siterec:a~ed used waste paint and ink-type solvents. It also
stored dr~ed materia: consisting of many waste substances including
waste chemicals anc che~~ca: waste sludges from area industries.
~he State of Ncrt~ Carolina ordered the site to be closed in 1975
after numerous complaints by neighboring residents and the
documentation of frequent spills during the years of operation. !n
adc~tion, the State ordered the facility to be cleaned up and pursued
proper management of the cleanup under existing State and Federal
laws. Reportedly, the cleanup included the excavation of two
in-ground pits into which solvents were placed. Also, onsite
cont~inated surface soil was consolidated and covered in an onsite
landfill located in the southwest quadrant of the site. All
remaining large storage tanKe, a mobile tanker, and nwmerous residual
dr~~s were removed in 1963.
In 1983, t~e E?A initiated a Superfund site investigation. This
investigation analyzed surface water, sediment, soil, and groundwater
sam~le6. The data collected were evaluated using the Hazard Ranking
Syste~ (HRS). The resulting HRS score was 42.00 and reflected the
potential for groundwater and surface water contamination. As a
result, the EPA finalized the site's placement on the National
Priorities List (NPL) in 1986.
Subsequently, BPA negotiated with a number of the companies, or
potentially r..ponsibl. parties (PRPS) that had conducted bU8iness
with Jadco, Inc. and C.A. Hughes, Inc. to perform the Remedial
Investigat18a and Feasibility Study (FS), or RIfFS. In september
1986, an ~fti.trative Order on Consent was agreed upon by EPA and
the PRP Steering COmmittee. The Administrative Order outlined the
terms under which BPA would allow the PRP Steering COmmittee to
conduct the RIfFS.
The first draft RI Report was submit~ed to the Agency in December of
1989. A final RI Report was approved by EPA in August of 1990.
Communitv Relations Activities
The majority of public interest and participation occurred during the
years of active operation and subsequent cleanup. Citizens were the
source of pressure that resulted in the State ordered cleanup
completed in 1978. Once the main problems associated with the
----- ~

operation8 on the site, such as the termination of incineration
operation., removal of tho~sand9 of drums as well as numero~s large
s~orage t&ak8, and the elim~nat~on of spills and fish kills that were
observed by the residents, pub:~c involvement decreased.
Essentially, their primary objec~ives had been met.
During the investigations of 1983 and 1985, selected residents were
informally in~erviewed when field personnel were sampling in the
area. Some of the citizens allowed their wells to be tested to
dete~ine whethe: groundwa~er contamination had migrated from the
site.
Formal comm~nity relations were initiated by EPA after the RI/FS
process began with the development of a Community Relations Plan.
Several si~e specific fact sheets were distributed to the area in an
effort to keep citizens informed.
~wo public meetings have been held near the site; the first meeting
was held to present t~e res~lts of the RI in November of 1989. The
second pub:ic meeting was held in July of 1990 to present the
Proposed Plan and to in~tia~e the formal comment period. The
Administra~ive Record was made available at the Information
Repository. =~is Informa~ion Repository has been maintained for over
a year at the Belmont Branch of the Gaston County Library System.
Public Notice was published prior to the meeting and a180 announced
the specific t~e frame of the Public Comment Period, which was July
26, 1990 to August 2~, 1990.
The Responsiveness Summary, whic~ compiles all comments received
during this period, in included as Appendix A. During the course of
inves~igative and remedial activities at the site, federal response
to comm~nity needs and concerns has been perceived as sufficient.
Criticism has predominantly per~ained to the length of the Superfund
process.
Scope and Role of Rascon8e Action
This ROD addresses the final response action for the Jadco-Hughes
Site, which consiat. of extraction and treatment of contaminated
groundwater, treatment of contaminated soils onsite, elimination of
surface water contamination by surface water diversion and culvert
replacement. Additional in8titutional controls and access
restrictiol(will be taken to complete the remediation at the site.
- Periodic 8Q8Ltorinq will be conducted until all requirement8 aa
pre.ented br this ROD are met. The respon8e action. are con.iatent
with the National COntingency Plan (40 CFR 300.68).
Site CharacteriBtics
Information available from State and Gaston courity files as well as
aerial photography were used to help characterize the site. Surface
drainage in the area of" the site flows to the north. Tributary B
transects the site and intersects tributary A at the north end of the
site. Figure 3 shows current site features. The stream continues
north to Fites Creek, approximately 0.8 miles (1.3 km) away. Fites
-------
- 9 -
Creek joins the Ca~awba River approximately 1.5 miles (2.5 km) away.
The site ia underlain by approximately 100 feet of silty sands, Bandy
silts, C18y8 and silts con~a~ning variable ~ounts of unconsolidated
granite, diorite schist and g~iess. The main geologic unit at the
si~e is the Re8idu~/Saprolite Unit. These units were formed by the
in situ chemical weathering of the granite/diorite bedrock. The
overlying Residuum displayed a higher degree of weathering and total
lack of any vestiga: bedrock structure. The Saprolite contains
re~~ant gra~itic/dioritic structure such as relic quartz and feldspar
veins. The Resid~~/Saprolite unit was described as red-brown to
white-black unco~90:ida~ed fine to medium grained sand and silt size

ncr~hern end of the site and consisted of clays and silts, with
lesser amounts c: :ine to medium grain sand.
The regional hydrogeclogy is characterized as the Piedmont
physiographic prcvince. The Crystalline Rock A~~ifer is the
principal a~~ifer i~ the Piedmont physiographic province. The
s~r:icia: a~~ifer is characterized as the Saprolite Unit and is known
to be hydra~lica:ly connected with the bedrock unit.
The RI focused on the ide~tified site features, 8uch as the landfill,
operations area and numerous storage areas, as well as determining
the site impact on groundwa~er as well as surface water. The site
characteristics have been organized by media within this decision

Soils
The soils at the Jadco-Hughes site were characterized by the
collection 0: s~.ples fro~ boreholes, test pits and grab samples, as
well as additional screenir.; 0: ec~ls with an HNu, which is used to
detect the presence of organic vapors in air by photoionization.
Fo~r areas c: concern to the Agency were identified for investigation
of soils. ~hese areas were:
o
the landfill area located in the southwestern quadrant of
the site;
o
the former operations area located in the southeastern
quac1rant of the site;
o
tb8 former decant pits, designated the north and 80uth pits;

concern. Due to the number of individual contaminants found at the
site, the RI focused on all constituents detected at or greater than
1 mg/kg, (or 1 part per million, ppm). This format will be
incorporated into the ROD to help delineate the site contamination.

Land! ill Area
The landfill area origina~e= during the 1978 cleanup and reportedly
cor.~ains the consolidation of contaminated surface soils, excavated
soils from the decant pits, and well as other debris. Fiqure 4 shows
the approximate boundaries of the landfill. The landfill was
characterized by t~e collec~ion of s~~ples from nine locations. The
contamination found in the landfill area was predominantly organic
compounds thoug~ some elevated metal concentrations have been
observed. ~ab:e 1 presents a summary of the landfill contaminants.
Fig~re 5 presents locations of soil sampling points.
The R! dete~ined t~at phthalates, phenolic compounds and
tric~lorobenzene were most frequently detected and although a greater
number of extractable organic compounds were detected, the overall
con=e~tration of volatile organic contamination was greater than that
of t~e total extractable organic compounds in concentration. !n
addition PCS 12~8 was detected in the landfill and antimony, lead and
beryllium were detecte= a~ concentrations above estimated background
leve:"s.
Former Operations Area
The fermer operations area was used for dista11ation and processing
of waste chemicals. Numerous spills were reported to have occurred
in this area and con8eq~ently into the tributary system.
~he collection of eight soil samples were used in the former
operations area to characterize the soil contamination. Several main
contaminants of concern were identified for the former operations
area. These include 1,2-dichloroethane, trichloroethene, acetone,
and PCE 1248. Since data was net presented for all parameters of
concern on all eight sau,ples collected in the former operations area,
t~is Record of Decision assumes that the contamination in this
area may not be not limited to those four constituents identified
above. Table 2 provides the analytical data for soils in the former
operations area.
Pormer Decant Pit Areas
The decant pit. were con.tructed and reportedly used in 1977 as a
place to pear contents of drums ~o allow the liquids and .ludges to
separate. ~. allowed the liquid phase of the wastes to be pumped
into larger capacity .torage vessels and ultimately removed. The use
of plastic as lining material was reported in the RI, but according
to interviews with state officials and local residents, the pits were
essentially unlined. Several incidents are recorded in the State's
files of the decant pits being left full of liquids for extended
periods of time. Seepage of contamination most probably did occur.
The size of the south decanting pit was reported to be approximately
20 feet by 8 feet with an unknown depth. The size of the north
decant pit was approximately 6 feet by 12 feet also with an unknown
depth. According to the RI, personal interviews conducted with area

pits. The u.. of the pits was discontinued following a state
in8pec~ion in 1977. The RI a180 reports that the pits were pumped
out, limed and backfi:led.
Samples were collected from seven locations in each decant pit area

The reswlts of Phase: of the R:, indicated the southeastern area of
the site, also knowr. as the "swa:e" area, required further
investigation to celineate the extent of PCB contamination of surface

result, the PRPs suggested an interim removal soil program and
entered into an Administrative Order on Consent with the EPA to
conduct the remcval. The final Interim Soil Removal Program is
attached as Appencix B. The 50il Removal Program establishes the
cleanup goal for PCBs at :0 mg/kg. This cleanup goal was derived
from the USEPA PCE Cleanup 5pi:: Policy and will be conducted in

Surface Water and Sediments
As described earlier, the site has a tributary system that flows
adjacent to and/or through the site. There is also a flowing spring
from the property just east of the site boundary. The confluence of
these three water systems flows northward until it merges with Pites
Creek and ultimately discharges into the Catwba River.
Historical E8Cord. provide information concerning unauthorized
discharg.. ~ wa.te materials occurring at regular interval. during
facility op8ration.. At least two fish kills were considered to be
caused by .arface water violations from the site during active
operations. .
Surface water and sediment samples were collected in an effort to
establish background conditions as well as to characterize the nature
and extent of contamination from the site. Surface water sampling.
resulted in the identification of surface water contamination,
predominantly of organic compounds. Table 4 lists these
contaminants. Figure -6 shows the locations of all surface water and
sediment sampling locations. The nature of the contamination
indicates that the impact to surface water may be from groundwater
discharge via the damaged culvert or from surface water runoff

It must be noted that drinking water criteria are not established for
many of the BNAs.
The presence of BNA compounds follows the pattern of prominent VOCs.
The BNA compounds of greatest concentration are found at monitoring
wells locate= in the former operations area and the former south
decant pi-:.
The presence 0: inorganic, or metal concentrations are often detected
in groundwater samples since metals are naturally occurring elements
within the structure of an a~ifer. Twenty-one metals were detected
in groundwater samples and are shown in Table 7. Comparison to
backgrc~nd concer.-:rations, as well as fre~~ency of detection were
utilized in the selection of contaminants of concern. The
ccncentra-:ions of eleven metals exceeded drinking water criteria:
o aluminu.~
o antimony
o arsenic
o beryllium
o cadmiur.-.
o chrorr,ium
o iron

Groundwater within the shallow saprolite is believed to discharge to
the tributaries of Fites Creek while the deeper groundwater is
believed to migrate in a northerly direction. Groundwater migration
is estimated to move at a rate 0: approximately 8 to 14 per year.
Summary of Site Risks
The following discussion provides an overview of the ~aseline public
health and eavironmental risk evaluation for the Jac -Hughes site.
It is ba.84.OD the RSuperfund Risk Assessment for the Jadco-Hughes
Site, No~~lmont, North Carolina". The ba.eline evaluation helps
determine ~ a remedial action is necessary at the site. It i.
designed to represent an evaluation of the Rno-action alternativ8R,
in that it identifies the risk present if no remedial action is
taken. The baseline assessment also provides the framework for
developing the preliminary remediation goals for the Jadco-Hughes
site. Field observations and analytical data as presented in the RI
report represent exposure point concentrations for the risk
evaluation. Risk from the future ingestion of the groundwater is the
most significant risk posed by the site. Potential impact of
contaminated groundwater on surface water is a190 of concern at the
Jadco-Hughes site.

The risk a.....ment for this decision document is divided into the
fo:lowinq oamponen~s:
o
COntaminL~t identificat~on
o
Exposure assessment
o
~cxici~y assessment
o
Risk Ct~racterizatio~
Contaminant Identification
The objective of cont~inant iden~ification is to screen the
information that is avai:able on hazardous substances or wastes
present at the site an= tc identify contaminants of concern on which
to fo=~s the risk assessment process. Contaminants of concern are
se:ecte= based or. magnit~de and frequency of occurren=e, their
tcxicologica: propertiee, and/er because they are presently in or
potentially may move into critical exposure pathways (e.g., drinking
water supp:y).
The media of concern at the site are surficial soils and sediments
adjacent to the south decant pit and former operations area;
subsurface soi:s in the north and south decant pits, former
operations area an~ onsite landfill, groundwater and surface water in
Tributaries in A and B which flow into Pites Creek. Contaminants of
concern in the subsurface soils and groundwater are volatile organic
compounds (VOCs), extractab:e organic compounds and metals. PCBs are
the contaminants of concern in the s~rface soils and sediments. The
surface water cont~linants of concern are the groundwater chemicals
which could discharge int= the surface water.
The exposure point concentrations for subsurface soils are based on
the arithmetic mean of the detected values. These mean
concentrations are contained in Table 8.
The exposure point concentrations for groundwater for the risk
asseBsment were based on the three following mean concentrations:
o
mean of all detects above SQLs plus nondetects assumed to be
pr..ent at one-half the concentration of the SQL (Levell);
~~
o
g,th percentile mean of the Levell mean concentration
~.
(t.e.el 2);
o
mean of all detects above sample quantitations limits (SQLs)
(Level 3);
The exposure point concentrations for groundwater are contained in
Table 9.

The expo.ure poin~ concentra~~~ns of PCBs in the surface soils and
sediment. tor Levels 1,2, and 3 are 90.6 mg/kg, 189.7 mg/kg and 107.0
mg/kg re.pectively.
Fu~u~e surface wate~ concen~raticns were calculated based on complete
discharge of groundwa~er to the ~ributaries and subsequent dilution
based on the t~~butary flow rate. Surface water exposure point
concen~rations are contained in Table 10.
BIPOsure Assessme~t
Tr.e ob:ectives 0: an exposure assessment are to identify actual o~
potential exposure pa~hways, to charac~erize the potentially exposed
popula~ions, and to de~e~;ine the ex~ent of the exposure.
Identify~ng poten~ia: exposure pathways helps to conceptualize how
cont~~inan~s may migra~e from a source to an existing or potentia~
point of contac~. An expcsure pathway may be viewed as consisting of
fo~r elements: (1) ~ source anc mechanism of chemical release to the
envircnrnen~; (2) k~ environmen~al transpor~ medium (e.g., air,
groundwa~er) for the released chemical; (3) A point of potential
conta=~ with the con~arnina~ed medium (referred to as the exposure
poin~); and (4) An exposure route (e.g., inhalation, ingestion) at
the exposure point.
The exposure assessment for the Jadco-Hughes site evaluated the
potentia: exposure pathways 0: air, surface water, soil sediments,
and groundwater.
Potentially complete exposure pathways include:
o
direct
contact with con~aminated surface soil and sediments;
o
fu~ure ingestion of con~aminated groundwater as a drinking
wa~er source and exposure to groundwater via showering or
ba~hing;
o
future recreational use of contaminated surface water; and
o
future contact with contaminated 8ub8urface 8011 due to
con8truction activities onsite.
Potential 88POeure i8 characterized by the local setting. The eite
is vacant 88d partially secured by a fence. Although human aCC.8S to
the .ite i8t.1Afrequent and unauthorized, the potential exist. for a
.trespas8er to be exposed to contaminated surface 8011 and sediment..
Tributaries A and B are 8mall streams which flow adjacent to and
converge downstream of the site. Surface water is not u8ed as a
drinking water supply or for fishing in the vicinity of the site.
However, contact with surface water could occur through recreational
activities. Groundwater is not used as a drinking water supply
onsite but is a water supply resource offsite for residents having
operational wells installed prior to the provision of municipal water
connections. The future potential exists for offsite wells to become
contaminated with chemicals in the onsite plume and for residents to
be exposed to the contaminated groundwater.

The future residen~ial groundwater exposure concentrations assume
that there ia no discharge to in~ermediate surface water bodies, and
that no attenuation or dilu~ion of chemicals occurs before reaching
the exposure point. The ingestion rate of groundwater was assumed to
be 1.4 liters for level 1 and 2.0 liters for levels 2 and 3. The
exposure duration for carcinogens was 10, 30 and 70 years for levels
1,2 and 3 respectively. The exposure duration for noncarcinogens was
assumec to be one year.
The potential fut~re surface water concentrations were based on the
comp:ete discharge of groundwater to the tributaries. The exposure
concentration for noncarcinogens was based on dilution in the
trib~taries at the 7Q10 flowrate (the lowest 7 day average flowrate
occ~rring over a 10 year period). The carcinogen exposure
concentration was based or. dilution in the tributary at a long-term
average :lo~rate. The main assumptions for surface water contact
were for an ingestion rate of 50 ml/hour, a body surface area of
lS,20G c~2, a permea=ility constant of 0.002 cm/hr and an exposure
tir..e 0: 2.6 hours. The exposure d~ration for carcinogens was 20
years for level: and 30 years for levels 2 and 3. The exposure
duration was ass~ed to be 1 year for noncarcinogens. The exposure
fre~~ency was 7, 21 anc 52 days/year for levels 1,2 and 3
respectively.
Surface soil and sediment exposure concentrations are ba.ed on
current concentrations in those media. Subsurface soil exposure
concentrations are based on current concentrations in the subsurface
and the assumption that these soils will be brought to the surface
during future constr~ction activities.
The expos~re assumptions for direct contact with surface soil and
sediments by a trespasser and direct contact with subsurface soils by
a construction worker are fer a 108 mg/day soil ingestion rate, a
body surface area 0: 1980 crn2, an absorption factor of 0.15 and a
soil to skin adherence factor of 1.45 mg/cm2. The exposure
frequency for the trespasser scenario is for 3,6 and 9 days/year for
levels 1, 2 and 3 respectively and and exposure duration of 20, 30
and 50 years for these same levels. The exposure frequency for the
construction worker 8cenario is for 30, 90 and 180 daY8/year for the
three exposure levels and the exposure duration is for 1 year.
Toxicitv A8---888nt
Toxicity a"'.8m8nt, a8 part of the Superfund baseline risk
assessment process, considers (1) the types of adverse health or
environmental effects a880ciated with individual and multiple
chemical exposures; (2) the relationship between magnitude of
exposures and adverse effects; and (3) related uncertainties 8uch as
the weight of evidence for a chemical's potential carcinogenicity in
humans.
Cancer potency factors (CPFs) have been developed by EPA's
Carcinogenic Assessment Group for estimating excess lifetime
risks associated with exposure to potentially carcinogenci

chemicals. CPFs, which are expressed in units of (mg/kg-day)-l,
are multipled by the estimated intake of a potential carc~nogen in
mg/k~-day, to provide an upper-bo~nc es~ima~e of the excess lifet~e
cancer risk .88ocia~ec with expcs~re a~ that intake level. The te~
"upper-bound- reflects the conserva,:ive estimate of the risks
calculated from the CPF. Use of this approach makes underestimation
of the act~a: cancer risk highly unlikely. CPFs are derived from the
res~lts 0: h~a,- epiderniologica: studies or chronic animal bioassays
to which an~~a:-to-~uma~ extrapolation and uncertainty factors have
bee~ ap~liec. C?:s for t~e site contaminants of concern are
contained in T~le :1.
Reference doses (Rf~s) have been developed by EPA for indicating the
pote~tial for adverse hea:th effects from exposure to chemicals
exhibiting noncarcinogenic effects. RiDs, which are expressed in
units of mg!kg-day, are estimates of lifetime daily exposure levels
fer humans, inclu=in~ sensitive individuals. Estimatec intakes of
chem~ca:s from environ~ental media (e.g., the amount of a chemical
ingested from cont~~inatec drinking water) can be compared to the
Rf:. RfDs are derived from human epidemiological studies or animal
studies to which uncertainty factors have been applied (e.g., to
acco~nt for the use of animal data to predict effects on humans).
These uncertainty factors help ensure that the RiDs will not
underestimate the potential for adverse noncarcinogenic effects to
occur. Rf~s for the site contaminants of concern are contained in
Table 11.
Risk Characterization
In the final component of the risk assessment process, a
characterization of ~he potential risks of adverse health or
environmental effects for each of the exposure scenarios derived in
the exposure assessment, is developed and summarized. Estimates of
risks are obtained by integrating information developed during the
exposure and toxicity assessments to characterize the potential or
actual risk, including carcinogenic risks, noncarcinogenic risks, and
environmental risks. The final analysis includes a summary of the
risks associated with a 8ite including each projected expo8ure route
for contaminants of concern and the distribution of risks across
various 8ector8 of the population.
For noncarc1Doqenic chemicals, the predicted exposure level is
compared wi~ an BPA reference level or reference dose (RfD). The
RfD is ba.ed on an evaluation of current toxicity data and is the
lifetime do.. which is likely to be without significant risk to human
populations. An .xposure level which exceeds the RfD 18 an
indication that there may be a concern for a potential
noncarcinogenic health risk. The ratio of the estimated contaminant
intake to the contaminants RfD is termed the HQ. By adding the HQs
for all contaminants within a medium or across all media to which a
given population may reasonably be exposed, the Hazard Index (HI) can
be generated. The HI provides a useful reference point for gauging
th~ potential significance of multiple contaminant exposures within a
single medium or across media.

T~e carcinogenic risk levels a=~ Drobabilities that are expressed in
sc~entific notation (e.g. 1 x ::-0). An excess lifetime cancer
risk of 1 a 10-6 indicates t~at a~ individual has a one in a
mi~~ion chance of developing ca~cer as a result of site-related
exposure to a carcinogen over a 7C-year lifetime under the spe=ific
exposure conditions at the site. The excess cancer risk levels are
upperbound estimates which means that the risk levels are probably an
overest~ation ef the actual cancer risk posed by the site-related
pathways. The EPA accepta:le risk range is 1 x 10-4 to 1 x 10-6
er one in te" thousand to one in a million. Although a risk range is
designated, E?A uses 1 x lC-6 as the point of departure indicating
t~at the prefere~ce is for setting cleanup goals at the ~~re
protective end of the range. The cleanup goa1 of 1 x 10 may be
revised to a different risk level within the acceptable range based
o~ the consideration 0: appropriate site-related factors.
The c~rrent risk posed by onsite surficial soils contaminated by PCBs
was evaluated. This risk is associated with potential contact with
seil by people who have gained unauthorized site access and resulted
in a calculated risk level ranging from 1 x 10-5 (Levell) to 8 x
10-5 (Level 3).
Current use of residential wells located immediately downgradient of
the site was evaluated. The assessment identified that compounds
detected in potential residential water supplies were below drinking
water criteria or standards. As such, these detected compounds do
not pose a current unacceptable risk to local residents.
The future potential risk associated with of:site groundwater use as
a domestic water supply was evaluated. Under this scenario a
cont~.~nant plume is assumed to migrate, unremediated, of£site and
res~lt in increased contaminant levels in residential wells. The
associated potential cumulative additional lifetime cancer risk
ranged from 6 x 10-2 for a level 1 exposure to 2 x 100 for a
level 3 exposure and the cumulative noncarcinogenic HQs exceeded
unity, ranging from 10 for level 1 to 100 for level 3. Table 12
contains the risk levels for individual groundwater contaminants of
concern.
The potential future risk due to exposure to contaminated subsurface
soil onsite vas evaluated for a construction worker involved in a
hypothetic&l eacavation activity. The potential additional lifetime
cancer ri.~~ranq8d from 5 x 10 -:0 to 2 x 10-7. These levels are
below the ..~19t&ble risk range. The noncarcinogenic expoaure levels
were also below the !PA reference leve~.
The future potential risk associated with an offsits exposure to
contaminated surface water was evaluated. Under this scenario a
contaminant groundwater plume would discharge, unremediated, to
surface water resulting in increased contaminant levels in surface
water and subsequently .creating a potential recreational exposure.
The associated potential additional lifetime cancer risk ranged from
9 x 10 -7 to 3 x 10 -5 The noncarcinogenic exposure levels did
no~ exceed the reference levels.

A total ot ~1 alternatives were evaluated in detail for remediating
.the site. Nine remedial alternatives address the contaminated
subsurface 80i18 that contribute to groundwater contamination. Eight
alternatives addrese the contamination in the groundwater beneath the
site. Each alternative presented essentially build8 upon the BCOpe
of ~he previous alternative.
Alternative 1 - No Action with Monitorinq
The Superfund program requires that the "No-Action" alternative be
considered at every site. Under this alternative, EPA would take no
further action to control the source of contamination. However,
long-term monitoring of the site would be neceesary to monitor
contaminant migration.

The FS interpreted the "No-Ac~ion" alternative literally and assumed
no ac~io~ wnataoever wou~d be necessary. As previously stated,
mon~toring would be required due to the resulting contaminants
remaining onsite. In suc~ cases, CER~~ requires that the site be
reviewed every five years. ~he "No-Action" alternative presented
w~thi~ this ce=is~on document was developed from specific costing
i~fcrma~ic~ ice~tifie: i~ the FS, based on monitori~g 0: site
contar..ination O~ a ~~arter:y basis every year. Monitoring can be
LT.p~emented by using previcus~y ins~al~ed monitoring we:ls and
reside~tia: we::s.
If :us~ified by the review, remedial actions would be implemented at
tha~ t~~e to remove or treat the wastes.

~ternative 2 - Deed. Access Restrictions and Monitorina
beed restriction involves placing institutional controls on the use
of the property and the use of groundwater beneath the Site. Access
restriction involves a security fence to minimize unauthorized
access. The fence is to be constructed as an interim remedy and
consists cf an 8-foct hig~ cha~~ link fence and locking gates to
rep:ace the present fence. The fence will be permanent and is to be
situated at the site per~eter. Monitoring involves a periodic
meas~rement of groundwater anc surface water quality to assess any
changes and trends of contaminat~on.
Deed and accese restrictions would not preve~t further migration of
groundwater contamination. A:ternative 2 i8 designed to eliminate
exposure to contamination which exists on site.

This alternative addresses the soils within the existing on-site
landfill with the provisions of a RCRA cap designed to minimize
infiltration into contaminated soils. Figure 8 provides a schematic
of the RCRA cap. Leaching of natural precipitation would be inhibited,
thereby reducing the source role to groundwater. Limited excavation
work would be necessary for the installation of a cap.
Alternative 3 builds upon the scope of Alternative 2. The
con~aminated soils within the landfill ie estimated to be no lees
than 5,500 yds3. Approximately 500 additional cubic yarde of
contaminated soils would be excavated from the former operations area

M:::-.:. ":c~ .:.:-::=
Alte~native 4 builds upon Alternative 3 by the addition of a
groundwater remedy and a surface water remedy. Groundwater
extraction would be accomplished by the use of a subsurface tile
drain system to collect groundwater and would prevent future offsite
migration of contaminated gro~ndwater. The extracted groundwater
would be treated followed by discharge to surface water. Soils
contamination would be addressed by a cap with no reduction of
contamination. Monitoring of the contamination would be required.
Extraction wells would be located in the areas of highest
cont~.ination concentration and would be utilized for Rhot spotR
pumping. The effectiveness of the groundwater remedy and the
progress of remediation would be evaluated by monitoring.
Groundwater treatment and discharge would be accomplished via a
pre-treatment for metals removal followed by ultraviolet oxidation
and discharge to Tributary B. Monitoring of this tributary would be
conducted to ensure effectiveness. The UVO treatment technology was
selected due to its ability to treat the compounds of concern.
Figure 9 is an illu8tration of the UVO treatment system coupled with
the ozone pretr.a~ent 8y.tern for meta18. Pre-treatment for metals
removal would require di8posal of inorganic 8ludge8.
Ultraviol~~id.tion i. . relatively new technology which was
evaluated bf. a treatability study and offers the most promi8ing
technoloqy.~ achieving the low levels of discharge required for

attaached a8 Appendix C. However, problems associated with natural
inorganic chemistry of the groundwater present potential operational
problems when high efficiency treatment is required. Specifically,
iron may preferentially consume the oxidant resulting in a reduced
efficiency in organic treatment. Accordingly, an ozone pretreatment
system comprised of a tank, ozone diffusers and a clarifier would be
required to condition the water prior to processing in the evo
system.
Surface water remediation would be accomplished, in part, by
groundwater extraction which would intercept contaminated groundwater
prior to discharge to Tributaries A and B. The replacement of the

sliplining the culve~ with H:PE pipe and plugging the annular space
between the o~d and new pipe and the pipe bedding. The HDPE pipe
would allow s~re~f:ow through the site. Contaminated groundwater
wo~:= no~ lea~ i~~c t~e ~PE pipe anc would be prevented from
migration along the old culvert and bedding material by the
ins~allation of plugs. The exis~ing culvert could be used to augment
groundwater colle=~ion through the use of the annular space as a

The preser:': wor':~ coe': o"f this alternative is $5,344,900. This
al~ernative would net achieve ARARs. This alternative could be

This alternative is essentially the eame as Alternative 4 except that
the cap is replaced by soil treatment. Alternative 5 utilized soil
venting and soil flushing to remove contaminants from soil and
treatmen~ of the off gas by carbon adsorption.
50i1 venting involves the placemen~ of perforated vents ve~ica11y
into the contaminated soil above the water table., The extraction
vents are connected by solid pipe to a common above-ground header.
blower draws a vacu~ through the pipe network allowing soil gas to
be extracted. Contaminants partition from the soil to the air and
the contaminated air stream is treated by carbon adsorption. Figure
10 illustrates the soil vapor extraction (SVE) system layout.
A
Soi1 flushing would be conducted following the termination of soil
ven~ing and is designed to remove soluble contaminants which are
non-volatile. The soil flushing system would involve controlled
infiltration of water into contaminated .oil. Oncontaminated water
from Tributary B would be used as a water supply. Thi. water would
be pumped into the recharge system via a common header. The recharge
system would be de.igned .uch that the rate of flow to each recharge
well could be controlled. Recharge water would contact contaminated
soil a. it jntiltrate. downward. The effectivene.. of the .y.tem
would be enhanced by introducing recharge water in pulses and
rotating recharge locations. This procedure would create a .aturated
wetting front within the contaminated soil, thereby increasing the
partitioning of contaminants from soil to water. Contaminated
recharge water would be captured by a groundwater drain situated in a
downgradient, onsite location and would be pumped into the site's
groundwater treatment system.
The remaining components of Alternative 5 are the groundwater
extraction system, ozone pretreatment for metals,- evo treatment and
discharge to Tributary B surface water, culvert- replacement, and
monitoring, with deed and access restrictions.

Alternative 6 involves the removal of approximately 6,000 yds3 of
contaminated 80il and replacement with clean soil. Contaminated 80il
would be excavated and loaded onto trucks for transport to a RCRA
permitted landfill.
Any major excavation program would require air monitoring to ensure
that offsite air ~~al:ty i~ net significantly impacted. Groundwater
remediation, deed and access restrictions, culvert replacement and
monitoring are identical to the program identified in Alternative 4.
This selection eliminates the potential onsite contaminant exposure.
It contains a provision of groundwater and surface water remedy with
contaminant reduction. Soil remedy selection does not provide
contaminant reduction. Monitoring is required of effectiveness of
the remedy.
The present worth of this remedy is 57,632,900. Thi8 remedy is

goals, however, this alternative has implementation concerns with
respect to the requlatory deadlines for RCRA land dispo8al.

Alternative 7 involves excavation and treatment by onsite
incineration of approximately 6,000 yd3 of contaminated 80ils from
the landfill and former operations area. The treatment of the
contaminated soils is conducted instead of the installation of a cap.
Onsite incineration is. a treatment method for organic compounds which
uses high temperature oxidation under controlled conditions to
degrade a substance into carbon dioxide, water vapor, sulfur dioxide,
nitrogen oxides, hydrogen chloride gases and ash. The hazardous
products of incineration, such as particulates, sulfur dioxide,

llternative 8 is similar to Alternative 4 but offers a different
~ethod of groundwater treatment and discharge. The groundwater
Ixtraction system remains the same and consists of downgradient
:ontrol and hot spot pumping. However, Alternative 8 involves
!ischarging treated water to the Belmont POTW through the sewer
,ystern. Aeration was determined to be the most cost-effective method
)f treatment require~ to meet discharge requirements to a POTW.
~eration onsite involves the construction of an in-ground aeration
)asin having a volume of 9,000 gallons. Air is sparged into the tank
)y diffusers to reduce VOC concen~rations. The air would be vented
~hrough a carbon adsorption system to restrict VOC releases to the
Ltmospheres.

It should be noted that cost is used to compare alternatives only when they
provided similar degrees of protection and treatment. Three alternatives
remained after the detailed evaluation; however, all eleven alternatives
presented in the FS are evaluated below. A summary of the relative performance of
the alternatives with respect to each of the nine criteria i8 provided in this
section.
Protective~. of Human Health and the Environment

Reme~ie6 that use treatmen~ ~o red~ce the mobility, toxicity or
volume (~7V) 0: the contaminan~s at a site are preferred over those
remedies that do not. The eleven alternatives presented in the FS
were evaluated under this criterion. Alternatives 1, 2, and 3 make
no attempt to reduce the ~7V c~ site contamination. Alternatives 4,
6, 8, and 10 of~er ~TV reduction of groundwater contamination only.
Con~amir.ated seils are addressed in varying methods, including no
action, containment or cff-site disposal. Alternatives 5, 7, 9 and
11 offer the red~ction o~ M~J for groundwater contamination and soil
con-:.ar::ina-:'ion.
Lonq-Term Effectiveness and Permanence
The majority of the alternatives presented in the rs would have
long-term effectiveness and permanence once clean-up goals are met.
Alternatives 4 through 11 address the contaminant plume in the
groundwater with s~i:ar designs of the extraction system but with
differing treatment technologies dependent upon final discharge
poi~t. Alterna-:.ives 1, 2, and 3 do not offer permanent remedies for
any of the contaminated media present at the site.
Shor-:.-:e~. Effectiveness
The eleven alternatives were evaluated with respect to short-term
effectiveness. Alternatives 1, 2, and 3 provide no protectiveness to
human health and the environment; and subsequently the first three
alternatives offer no short-term effectiveness. Short-term
effectiveness is believed to be administered by the implementation of
Alternatives 4, 5, 8, and 9 with minimal problems. Alternatives 6
and 10 provide .hort-term effec~iveness, but also introduce
considerations concerning the hazards associated with the excavation
of soils. Alternatives 7 and 11 also include excavation concerns as
well as 8Mt..1on8 control, and residual waste concerns. The
implement.~ of a .ite specific health and safety plan would
mitigate the hazards from excavation work. Engineering within the
Remedial De.ign plans would address emissions from incineration.
The short-term effectiveness of an alternative a1so includes
consideration of the time required for each alternative to achieve
protection. The following infcrmation is provided fer those
alternatives that do provide short-term effectiveness:

Department of Environmental Health and Natural Resource., NC-DEHNR i.
in favor of the 80il vapor extrac':ion, soil flushing, groundwater
extraction and treatment via aeration, culvert replacement, 8urface

letter of concurrence that the remedial design should a180 include
provisions for in-situ.bioremedia':ion in conjunction with 80il
flushing. EPA concurs that a bioremediation treatability study
should be conduc,:ed during the remedial design phase and if
substantial additional benefits for little or no additional cost can
be shown, then bioremediation will be incorporated as an integral
part of the soil flushing/soil venting process. . However,

selection will only be accomp:ished based upon joint concurrence
between SPA, the Sate of Nor~h Carolina and the PRPs. The State will
conc~r with the discharge of the treated water to the City of Belmont
POTW or other local POT~ for further trea~ment if the POTW is willing
to accept the was~e.
In the even~ the c~ty does not accept the treated groundwater
eff:uen~, NC-CEENR conc~rs wi~h EPA's contingency alternative of
groundwa~er ex~racti=~ anc treatme,-t by aeration, precipitation,
filtration, and carbon adsorption followed by surface water
disc:-.arge.
Co~u~ity Accectance
Based on co~ments made by c~tizens at the public meeting held on July
26, 199:, and thoee received during the public comment period, the
community agrees that an extraction and treatment system for the
groundwater, as we:: as the soil vapor extraction/soil flushing
technologies selected for so~19 are necessary for effectively
protecting huma~ hea:th anc the environment. Citizens did make
concerted statements regarding their desire for EPA to not allow
incineration.
The Selected Remedv
Based on available data and-analysis to date, the US EPA has proposed
Alternative 9 for the remedy selection for the Jadco-Hughes site.
The compariso~ of remedial alternatives conducted in the PS provided
the baeis of this selection and are prese~ted in this decision
document.
Alternative 9 involves deed and access restrictions, soil venting
with carbon adsorption of the off gas, soil flushing, culvert
replacement, surface water diversion, monitoring, groundwater
extraction and treatment by aeration and vapor phase carbon
adsorp~ion on site, discharge to the city of Belmont POTW or other
local POTW. However, in the event that a POTW has not agreed to
accept the discharge from the Jadco-Hughes site within a reasonable
period of time after the date of signature of the Record of Decision,
EPA has .elected Alternative 5 as a contingency alternative.
Alternative':I, consists of groundwater extraction and treatment by
ozone pre-tzeatment for metals followed by ultraviolet oxidation
(OVO) for ~A80~.l of VOCe. Effluent discharge would be to Tributary
B. Both the e.lected and contingency alternatives include
institutional controls or other land use restrictions nece.eary to
prevent adverse effecte to the remedy. .
Alternative 9 was developed for treatment of con.tituent. recovered
in groundwater to levels suitable for discharge to a POTW. The
proposed groundwater recovery system will include installation of
recovery wells in areas of known high contaminant levels. The
anticipated flow rate is estimated to be 1 gpm per well. Further
delineation of the plume will be necessary to determine the exact
location of extraction wells. The installation of bedrock wells may
also be necessary.

A subsurface drainage tile trench will be used to collect
contamina~ed groundwater. Groundwater flows into the drain system
and is collected i~ a sump where it is pumped into the groundwater
treatmer.~ sY5~e~. Fi~~:e 11 illustates a typical tile trench. This
technolo~:' is bes~ suite= ~o capture con~amination in shallow
grounciwa-:er.
Recovered qro~ndwa~er will be pipec to an on-site treatment system.
The ac~ual trea-:me~-: sys-:em wi~l be based on the final discharge
option. For A:-:ernative 9, the system would consist of an aeration
basin with an equaliza-:ion tank. Air diffusion would be conducted
to provide a high rate air-to-wa~er ratio. The air vented from the
aera~ion baei~ would be treated by carbon adsorption. The effluent
wo~ld be tested to verify that pre-trea-:ment standards are met. The
effluer.-: fro~ ~he treatment sys~em would be pumped to the nearest
City of Belmon~ sewer syste~ manhole. The discharge would then be
transpor~ed, via the sanitary sewer, to the POTW where it would
undergo bio:ogica: treatme~~.
Implementation of the treatment and discharge scenario proposed for
A:terna~ive 9 would require the responsible parties to secure the
approval of administrative personnel from the city government of
Bel~=nt. The trea~ed effluen~ would have to meet pretreatment
criteria established by these administrative officials as well as
comply with EPA ~~idelines for discharging of a CERCLA wastewater to
a PO':W.
Easements and rights-of-way would be required for installation of the
recovery wells and piping and the discharge piping to the sewer
interconnection. These easements and rights-of-way are essential to
the implemen~a-:ion of any remedial action.
The O&M will include monitoring of system controle which will be
incorporated to ensure the effluent quality meets established
pretreatment criteria prior to discharge to the POTW. The routine
O&M procedure will require monitoring performance of the recovery,
aeration, and 4i.charge .ystem components as well as periodic
cleaning or--zwplacement of the packing media a8 well as the overall
system ma~nanc.. Periodic monitoring of the groundwater will be
performed to a..ur. that the remedy is working. The O&M plan will
also identify all residuals management necessary for the remedy as
well as minimum replacement times for carbon filters and other
expendable items. Detailed cost analysis for Alternative 9 is
contained in Appendix D~ Part 2.
Alternative 5, the contingency alternative, is proposed in the event
tha~ the POTW i~ unabie to accept the effluent from the Jadco-Hughes
site. The primary differences between the preferred Remedial
--- --

-------
- 56 -
Alternative 9 and this contingency Remedial Alternative 5 are
twofold. Pi8t, Alternative 9 involves discharge to the POTW whereas
Alternative 5 discharges to surfa=e water. Second, additional or
different trea~ent is necessary to meet surface water discharge
criteria. Treatment by ultraviolet oxidation involves the
construction 0: an onsite UVO treatment plant. UVO is a form of
chemical oxida~ion. Hydrogen peroxide and ozone (03) are the
co~~on oxidants used for groundwater treatment. The oxidant is
bubbled throug~ the wastewater whi:e it is exposed to ultravio:et
lig~t. The high energy ultraviolet radiation causes these oxidants
to form hydroxyl radicals which oxidize the chemical contaminants ~n
the wastewater UVO end products are water, carbon dioxide,
hydrochloric acid (in small amounts) and metal oxides. Inorganic
compounds wi:: be pretreated prior to treatment of the organic
constituents by t~o. Ar. inorganic sludge requireing disposal would
res~:t from this pretreatment.
Treatability studies will be conducted during the development of the
Remedial Design to ensure the successful operation as well as the
reliability of the treatment system. Treatability studies will be
conducted for the selected remedy or as well as the contingency
. remedy, if the contingency remedy becomes necessary.
The effluent from the treatment system will be transported via a
gravity pipeline to the selected discharge point in Tributary B. A
NPD!S discharge permit will be required which will include the
monitoring program to ensure compliance with surface water discharge
criteria. All NPDES substantive requirements will be met.
As in Alternative 9, O&M requirement for Alternative 5 would include
inspection of the performance of recovery, treatment, and discharge
system components and periodic cleaning or replacement of any
necessary equipment. Additional O&M required for Alternative 5 would
include the collected and stabilization of sludges generated during
metals pre-treatment. The carbon adsorption system would require
periodic replacement. A detailed cost breakdown for Alternative 5 is
contained in Appendix d, Part 2. Upon deveopment of the Remedial
Design, further review of any ARARs applicable in the management of
residual waste. will be identified and complied with, i.e. sludge,
carbon filters, etc.
.
Upon initi8t and tentative completion of the groundwater remediation,
the O&K r~nt after shut down of extraction well. will require
monitoring of the groundwater on a semi-annual ba8is. After final
remediation of groundwater at the Jadco-Hughes 8ite, are-evaluation
of monitoring requirement8 will be conducted.

pr~posed. &n&lytical resul~s would be used to track the progress in
acr.~evement ot the remec~a~~on goals.
Soil treatment is the same for both the selected alternative and the
contingency al~erna~~ve. So~l treatment is via a vacuum extraction
process followed sc~: flushing. The vacuum extraction process is a
technique for ~he removal and venting of VOCs and some semi-volatiles
from the ur.sa~uratec zone. :h~9 ~echnology would involve the
installa~~cn 0: ex~ra=~~on ven~s above the water table wi~h~n the
waste soil sL~~lar to the conven~ional method of landfill gas
extraction. A vacuum system induces air flow through the soil,
s~ripping ar.d vc:at~l~z~ng the VOCs from the soil matrix into the air
stre~,. Wa~er ~n the air stream condenses, is separated from the air
s~re~ and ~9 transferred to the groundwater treatment system. The
ccnt~~~nate= a~r 9tre~. wo~ld ~hen flow through two ac~iva~ed carbon
units arranged in a series. Clear. water is then introduced into the
contam~na~e= 9c~1 zone moving w~th the natural groundwater flow to be
cellected w~th~n the groundwater collection system fer treatment,
thereby enhancing the soil cleanup by a flushing mechanism. The soil
contam~nat~on at the Jadco-Hughes s~te has been found to be largely
organic in na~ure, an: the ma:or portion of the contamination was
determined to be vo:atile.
A security fence is being installed under the Interim Action Soil
Removal Progr~. and is being placed along the perimeter of the
prope=~y boundary. This will res~rict unauthorized access to the
site as well as to the treatment area ultLmately minimizing the
potential for direc~ human contact with any residual contaminated
media at the site.
The current flow of water from the spring, located to the east of the
sit=, accross the former operations area will be redirected as part
of the final remedy of the site. This in necessary because of the
potential for contamination to be introduced to the tributary system
since the former operations area will continue to be a source area
unt~l remediation i8 complete. The spring water is uncontaminated
prior to entering the site.
The goal ot this remedial action is to restore groundwater to its
beneficial ~, which is, at this site, a potential drinking water
source. ~tore, groundwater remediation will be performed until
all cont~8d water meets cleanup goals throughout the plume
area(s). The groundwater cleanup goals are presented in Table 13;
s011 cleanup goa18 are identified in Table 14. Both the groundwater
and 80il cleanup goa18 are developed for the cleanup and overall
protection of the groundwater. Groundwater cleanup goals were

Ta=le 14 iden~ifies specific cleanup goals for thirteen soil
contaminants. The final cleanup goals for the remaining soil
con~arninants at the Jadco-Hughes site will be developed during
pre-design work and will be based on site specifc data. Partition
coefficients must be derived from site specific soil column tests.
Soil cleanup numbers will be designed to ensure that the remaining
leachability of the Boil contamination will not exceed the
groundwater cleanup goa18 upon final remediation.
As previou.ly .tated, the goal of this remedial action is to restore
groundwat~o it. beneficial use, which is to a potential drinking
water .our~. Ba.ed on information obtained during the RI and on a
"""
careful ~7.i. of all remedial alternatives, EPA and the State of
North carortn. believe that the selected remedy or the contingency
remedy will achieve this goal. It may become apparent, during
implementation or operation of the groundwater extraction system and
its modifications, that contaminant levels have ceased to decline and
are remaining constant at levels higher than the remediation goal
over some portion of the contaminated plume. In such a case, the
system performance standards and/or the remedy may be reevaluated.
-------
- 63 -
The select8d or contingency remedy will include groundwater
ex~rac~ion tor an estimated pe~iod of 30 years, during which the
sys~e~'8 performance will be carefu:ly monitored on a regular basis
and adjusted as warranted by the performance data collected during
operation. Modifications may include:
a)
alternating pumping at wells to eliminate stagnation
pcints;
b)
p~:se pumping t~ a:low a~~ifer equilibration and to allow
adso~bed cont~.inants to partition into groundwater;
c)
installaticn of additional extraction wells to facilitate
or accelerate clean~p of the contaminant plume; and
dj
at individc~: wells where cleanup goals have been attained,
and after anal~~cal confirmation, pumping may be
discontinued.
:0 ensure that cleanup goals continue to be maintained, the aquifer
will be monitored at those wells where pumping has ceased on an
occurrence of every year following discontinuation of groundwater
extraction. This monitoring will be incorporated into the overall
site monitoring program which will include the
If, in EPA's jud~ent, implementation of the selected remedy clearly
demonstra~es, in corroboration with strong hydrogeological and
chemical evidence, that it will be technically impracticable to
achieve and maintain remediation goals throughout the area of
attair~ent, a g~oundwate= re~edy contingency will be developed and
implemented. For example, a contingency may be invoked when it has
been demonstrated that contaminant levels have ceased to decline over
time, and are remaining constant at some statistically significant
level above remediation goals, in a discrete portion of the area of
attainment, as verified by multiple monitoring wells.
Where such a contingency 8ituation arises, groundwater extraction and
treatment would typically continue as necessary to achieve mass
reduction and remediation goals throughout the rest of the area of
attainment..,----
If it i. d~ed, on the basis of the preceding criteria and the
system performance data, that certain portions of the aquifer cannot
be restored to their beneficial use, all of the following measures
involving long-term management may occur, for an indefinite period of
time, as a modification of the existing system:
a)

re~ain ~ove health-based goals, since this aquifer is
classified a potential drinking water source;
d)
continued monitoring of specified wells; and
e)
periodic reevaluation of remedial technologies for
groundwater res~oratior..
The decision to invoke any or all of these measures may be made
durir.g a periodic review of the remedial action, which will occur at
intervals at least every five years.
Statutory Determinations
The US EPA has determined that both the selected and contingency
remedies wil: satisfy the following statutory requirements of Section
121 of CERCLA: protection of human health and the environment,
attaining ARARs, cost-effectiveness, and utilization of permanent
solutions and alternative treatment technologies to the max~um
extent practicable
Remedia: actions performed under CERCLA must comply with all
app:icable or relevant and appropriate requirements (ARARs). All
alternatives considered for the Jadco-Hughee site were evaluated on
the basis of the degree to which the remedy would comply with these
requirements. The selected remedy was found to meet or exceed the
following ARARs, as presented below:
Clean Water Act/Safe Drinkina Water Act:
EPA's detemination of appropriate groundwater cleanup criteria
involved an evaluation of cont~~inant concentrations relative to
available health-based standards. Such limits, including Kaximum
Concent~.tion. Limit. (KCLs) and Kaximum Concentration Limit
Goals (.cLG.), and Pederal Ambient Water Quality Criteria (AWQC),
SectioD~04 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) used as prescribed in
Section 121(d) (2) (b) (i) of CERCLA, as defined by the Safe
Drinking Water Act (SDWA) (40 CFR Part 141 and 142) and the Clean
Water Act, respectively, will be achieved by the selected remedy
presented in this decision document.
Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA):
-------
- 65 -
The ma;ority of the PCB con~amination detected at the
Jadco-Bu;hes 8ite will be addressed under the interim removal
ac~ion. This removal action will be conducted in accordance to
those requirements define by TSCA in the disposal of PCBs.
Federal OccuDa~ional Safe~y and Health Administration Act (OSP~I:

Resouce Co~servation and Recoverv Act (RCRAI:
The ~T.plemen~a~ion o~ the selected remedy will not constitute
"placeme:-,t" under the RCRA Land Disposal Restrictions (LDRs) but
the generation of spent activated carbon from the water and vapor
trea~rne~t systems and the accumulation of heavy metal sludges in
the contingency alternative could trigger applicability of RCRA
LDRs if the waste streams demonstrate RCRA characteristics and if
the carbon is not being shipped off to be regenerated (this would
exempt it as a solid was~e). Should RCRA LDRs be triggered, or
if wastes are unexpectedly uncovered during the the remedy
implementation that req~ire additional containment, treatment,
or removal, LDRs will be complied with or appropriate variances
will be obtained.

ProtectiOlt-''Qf !I1DIa.n Health and the Bnvironment
The selected and contingency remedies adequately protect human health
by reducing the risk of consumption of contaminated groundwater.
~his will be accomplished through the capture of the groundwater
contaminant p~ume. Environmental risk will be reduced by eliminating
the impact of groundwater into the tributary by the replacement of
the culvert as well as the redirection of the spring water.
Treatment of soi2s will reduce the source of contamination to the
groundwater. No unacceptable short-term risks will result from the
~plementation of these remedies.
Attainment of App:i~ab:e or Relevant and Appropriate Requirements
As established, all CERC~ remedial actions must comply with all
established ~~s. These remedies assure that the groundwater at the
Jadco-Hughes site will meet available MCLs under the Safe Drinking
Water Act (SDWA) as well as the North Carolina Administrative Code,
Title 15, Subchapter 2~; Classification and Water Quality Standards
Applicable to the Groundwatere of Ncrth Carolina. For those
chemicals which do no have ase~gned MC~e or other specified cleanup
goal, to-be-considered health-based values will be attained.
Discharge from the groundwater treatment system will meet either the
POTW's pretreatment standards or NPDES permit discharge limits under
the Clean Water Act (CWh;. ~he CWA is an applicable requirement,
w~ile the SDWA (MCLs) is relevant and appropriate.
Cost-Effectiveness
Alternative 9, the selected alternative, is the most cost-effective
remedy that will achieve clean-up goals. The total present worth
cost is S4,S30,900. Alternative 5, the contingency alternative,
would provide a comparable level of protection has a present worth
cost of $6,279,900,
The US EPA has determined that the costs of the selected and
contingency alternatives are proportionate to the overall
effectivene.. and both are a reasonable value for the money.
Utilizatioq,cf Permanent Solutions and Alternative Treatment (or
Resource Recoverv) Technoloaies to the Max~um Extent Practicable
( MEP )

solutions and treatment technologies to the maximum extent
practicable. Both provide short-term and long-term effectiveness and

- 67 -
and treatmeat of the grour.dwate=. Both would re~~ire an estimated 30
years to achieve groundwater c:&an-up goals. Both would require an
es~~ated 3 years to achieve soil clean-up goals. The selected
remedy, Alternative 9, is the most cost-effective remedy but not may
not be imp:ementa=:e if the City of Belmont POTW or other local POTW
is u~able to accep~ discharge from the Jadco-Hughes site within a
reasonab:e period of time after the signature of this ROD.
Alternative 5 costs just under 51.5 millio~ more and would become the
selected remedy for the site if the above contingency is not met.
Prefere!'!ce
:o~ Treatment a5 a Pri!'!cioa: Element
The s~atutory preference for treatment wi:l be met because the
princ~pa1 threat from the Jadco-Hughes site is ingestion of
cont~ir.ated groundwater. Beth the selected and contingency remedies
will reduce t~is risk to public health through the capture of the
groundwater plume as well as the reduction of the source of
groundwater cont~.i~ation via soil treatment.
Documentation of Siqnificar.t Chanqes
Two significant change from the proposed plan is incorporated in this
decision document. The proposed plan recommended that the
groundwater treatmer.t in Alternative 9 would be utilized with three
discharge options: to PO~, to surface water with NPDES permit, or
nat~ral infiltration onsite. However, the Feasibility Study
identified a separate treatment for groundwater that would be more
effective and more effecient for meeting surface water discharge
requirements of an NPDES permit. Additional public comment is not
necessary because incorporation of this technology in Alternative 5
is considered a logical outgrowth of the information on which the
public already had the opportunity to comment.
The second .ignificant change is the culvert replacement option. The
proposed plan recommended the possibility of removing the buried
culvert to eliminate groundwater discharge with surface water
diversion. ~1Iowev.r, the replacement technology as identified in the
FS has be8D~~corporated into the selected remedy. Thi. is
predominantl7 due to .torm water and flood control problem. that are
not cost-effective to implement. Confirmation of the elimination of
groundwater discharge will be determined by results of the
comprehensive site monitoring program which will occur on a quarterly
basis.

Meeting held at the Catawba Heights Elementary
school. The meeting was held on July 26, 1990.
The formal comment period for the Jadco-Hughes Superfund Site was held
from July 26, 1990 through August 24, 1990. The comment period was
extended to september 18, 1990. The Selected Alternative for Remedial
Action at the site addressed the soils contamination, the surface water
contamination and the groundwater contamination. A copy of the Proposed
Plan Fact Sheet, as well as a copy of the Jadco-Hughes Risk Assessment
Fact Sheet are attached to this Responsiveness Summary as Attachment A.
Durinq the pu~lic meetinq, the r..ult. ot both the Remedial Inv..tiqation
and the Feasibility Study were described to the attendees. The different
technologies that were identified and analyzed for potential use at the
Jadco-Hughes Site were also presented. The discharge location had not
been finalized at the time of the public meeting; the Proposed Plan
listed three discharge options which included discharge to the publicly
owned treatment works (POTW), discharge to surface water or onsite
infiltration.
The overall Community response indicates that residents favor the
remedial action selected for the site.
-------
SECTION II.
BACKGROUND ON COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT AND CONCERNS
The Jadco-Hughes
located in North
is situated in a
industrial use.
Site is an abandoned solvent recovery and storage facility
Belmont, North Carolina in Gaston county. The six acre site
community characterized by residential areas and light
Homes are located immediately adjacent north of the site.
The operations at the site were conducted between approximately 1968 and 1975
when the State of North Carolina ordered the operations to cease. The State
also ordered the site to be cleaned up; cleanup continued on the site through
1978. Based on results of environmental samples collected by the EPA in 1983,
the site was proposed to the National Priorities List and finalized in 1986.
The majority of the public interest and participation occurred during the years
of active operation and subsequent cleanup. Pressure from the local citizens
ultimately resulted in the State ordered cleanup. Active public involvement
decreased substantially with the resolution of the main problems associated
with the operations on the site, i.e., fish kills, drum spills, site fires,
odors from the storage and incinerator, etc. Essentially, the primary
objective of closing the site had been met.
During the sampling activities that occurred between 1983 and 1990, many of the
residents have allowed their wells to be sampled and analyzed for site related
contaminants. In addition to the EPA sampling efforts, the State of North
Carolina also had some of the private wells sampled.
Formal community relations were conducted in the vicinity of the site as a
result of the NPL status of the site. A Community Relations Plan was developed
and updated as the Remedial Investigation progressed. Several site-specific
fact sheets have been distributed. Two public meetings have been held to
discuss the progress and the results of the Remedial Investigation and to
formally submit the Proposed Plan to the community. The Administrative Record
was available at the Belmont Branch of the Gaston County Library where
Information Repository has been established for more than two years. Prior to
the meeting, EPA published a public notice to announce the meeting and the
specific time frame of the Public Comment Period (July 26, 1990 to August 24,
1990, and then subsequently extended to September 18, 1990).
SECTION III. SUMMARY OP PUBLIC COMMENTS RECEIVED DURING THE PUBLIC MEETING AND
THE PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD AND AGENCY RESPONSES
COncerns that the community has identified include a desire to eliminate
incineration as a treatment option for this site. Monitoring of residential
wells has been identified as a priority concern by residents, State officials
and EPA. Public water lines are available in the area. A comprehensive study
will be conducted to determine all currently used residential wells in the
immediate area downgradient. This data will supplement the well inventory

by the
the site
Specific community comments presented at the public meeting are outlined as
follows:
*
A citizen reauested that incineration be "ruled out" completelv.
Agency Response: Incineration is not being proposed for remediation
at the Jadco-Bughes Site.
*
A definition for PCBs and VOCs was reauested.
Agency Response: PCBs are defined as polychlorinate biphenyls. These
were used in transformers in the past and are organic in nature and
are not volatile by nature, or do not readily evaporate. [A PCB
compound is one of several aromatic compounds containing two benzene
nuclei with two or more substituent chlorine atoms. . They are
colorless liquids. Because of their persistence, toxicity, and
ecological damage via water pollution, their manufacture was
discontinued in the United States in 1976.] VOCs are defined a.
volatile organic compounds which are characterized by their readiness
to evaporate. [Organic chemicals which possess the tendency of a
solid or liquid material to pass into the vapor stage at a particular
temperature; for example, at ambient or even elevated weather
temperatures such as a warm summer day.
*
Clarification was reauested on how much contamination remains in the
soil at the site.
Agency Response: The majority of the waste materials were removed
during the removal action that took place between 1975 through 1978.
However residual contamination has been confirmed in some areas. The
PCB removal action was discussed in some detail outlining the cleanup
levels for the removal. The cleanup goal has been defined at 10 parts
per million (ppm). The area will be cleaned up until no PCB remains
in the soil greater than 10 ppm. (The soil removal work plan is
included in the Record of Decision as an Appendix.)
*
A citizen asked how far the contamination fin the aroundwaterl has
aone and whether it would stop before it rthe contaminant plume 1 aets
to his well.
Agency Response: There have been low levels of contamination from the
site that have been detected in private well samples, though all those
levels have been well below drinking water standards. The groundwater
extraction system was discussed as to the effects it would have on the
plume, such as stopping the migration of the plume so that it would
not impact the private wells.
*
A citizen asked if the site will be cleaned uP well enouah to live on
the site or. to develop the land.
Agency Response I The Selected Remedy, when implemented will clean the
site up for whatever purpose. The groundwater treatment will restrict
any drinking water wells from being placed on the site until the
cleanup goals are met.
-------
*
Several questions focused on the croundwater plume. the extraction
system. the final disposal option.
Agency Response: The three options of discharge were discussed
identifying the criteria that would have to met for the respective
discharge option. The extraction system was also briefly discussed as
well as the monitoring requirements to ensure that the pump and treat
system will work as designed. [Some discussion centered around
problems that the Belmont POTW had been experiencing.]
*
A" member of the Potentially Responsible Party CPRP\ Steerinc Committee
asked if the Proposed Plan included the removal of the culvert and the
diversion of the stream.
Agency Response: Yes, that is the Agency's proposal. The storm
drainage of the area was also discussed.
*
A citizen asked if property value around the site was coinc to decrease
or be affected.
Agency Response: The Agency does not have the answer to that
question. The real estate market is not addressed by the Agency.
However, the area is known for being a growing area, called the
"Metrolina Area". [EPA is a regulatory Agency and must enforce CERCLA,
but cannot attempt to predict changes in property values.]
*
A citizen asked what he could do to cet his well checked.
Agency Response: The PRPs have offered that service. Please see the
representative. [During the formal comment period, a letter was
received by the Agency of another citizen located in the vicinity of
the site that requested his well to be sampled. This request will be
forwarded to the PRPs. The Agency agreed to sample this well if the
PRP Steering Committee should refuse.]
Remaining questions centered around the comment period, the availability of the
Administrative Record and the availability of the Meeting Transcript.
SECTION IV.
REMAINING CONCERNS
In addition to the concerns identified above, additional monitoring
(sampling/analysis) of residential wells for site related contaminants and well
use may be necessary and has been specifically requested by the State of North
Carolina.

public comment period. Today is the first day. As I said
before in past meetings with you that your involvement. your
concerns, your questions. your comments are very, very
3
4
important to us.
They are vital as part of the decision-
5
making process.
And, again, I appreciate YOU coming out.
6
Because EPA wants to accurately address each and
7
every concern, we do have a Court Reporter.
She will be
8
generating a transcript.
That transcript will, also, be
9
available at the information repository.
Most of you are
10
familiar with the information repository already.
It's been
11
e~tabli~hed and now has the -- the administrative record
12
which has all of that documentation that EPA uses to make a
13
decision for the remedial site.
I did check the
14
administrative record, it is at the library and it is
15
available for you now.
16
Hopefully, you all got a set of the handout sheet~.
17
They should be all of the same fliers, but they're not all
18
There were some last minute
going to be in the same order.
19
changes that I've made.
20
Turning your attention to the agenda.
I'm going to
21
try to keep the presentation part of this meeting very, very
22
brief.
It's going to cover the Superfund Process and how it
23
applies to the Jadco-Hughes site, where we are in that
24
We'll talk about the site history.
Again, we'll
process.
25
talk about the results of the Remedial Investigation and the
Page 3

. 14
Feasibility Study.
The next item will be the EPA's proposa)
2
for clean-up.
Michael Henderson will then address Community
3
Relations; and at that point in time. the real purpose of
4
our meeting is to hear any questions, comments from you.
r
5
would like to keep a majority of that meeting for that
6
purpose.
And if you don't mind, we will hold the
7
question/answer period at the end.
If you'll just hold your
8
questions or if you think of a question, write it down so
9
that you don't forget it.
10
We have several people here tonight, I also want to
11
introduce.
They will be available later for the questions
12
and answers; and if yOU guys don't mind, just stand UP when
13

directly with the site on a monitoring capacity watching all
Page 4
-------
the activities with the Remedial Investigation and
2
Feasibility Study,
EPA is required to have a third-party
3
oversite available watching all PRP activities, all RIfFS
4
activities and I'll explain a little bit more of that anc if
5
I don't clarify it, ask me.
The oversite is to insure that
6
EPA's protocols, standards or procedures are all adhered to.
7
With us, also, tonight are Lee Crosby and Jack
8
Butler from the North Carolina Department of Environmental
9
-- sorry, should have called one name at a time --
10
Department of Environmental Health and Natural Resources.
11
We thank you for coming, also.
12
Okay,
Move on to Superfund Process.
After we did
13
this line, it's not quite in order but, hopefully, I'll be
14
Can you see this?
able to clarify.
15
In 1980, the Comprehensive Environmental Response
16
and Liability Act -- there's something missing -- I'm
17
sorry -- CERCLA was passed to deal with some of the
nation's
18
The law is. also, known as
hazardous waste sites.
19
I'm sure you're more familiar with that -- with
Superfund.
20
It requires the EPA to determine the nature and
that name.
21
extent of contamination on a Superfund site.
22
When Superfund was reauthorized in 1986,
even more
23
To follow this
stringent clean-up criteria were identified.
24
process. a site can be discovered in a lot of different
25
what usually happens is the State contacts the EPA if
ways,
Page 5
-------
it's a concern.
A preliminary assessment or a site
2
inspection is done.
Data is gathered and we subject the
3
site to what is known as an HRS ranking and that's just a
4
model takes to
the ground water, the surface
5
water, how the water is used, whether it's drinking water,
6
whether it's a recreational use.
It also takes into -- it
7
takes the environment, any environmental concerns into
8
And it comes up with numerical scores.
And the
account.
9
magic number is 26.5, and they decide if it ranks above 28.5
10
it's proposed for inclusion in the National Priorities List,
11
If you haven't figured out yet, we use a
which we call NPL.
12
lot of acronyms from the alphabet, so, I'll try not to give
13
you much of that.
14
When I'm talking about the fact that it's out of
15
order, the PRP search is actually or usually done between
16
the HRS Ranking and the RI/FS negotiations.
17
PRP stands for Potentially Responsible Parties.
18
The agency conducts the search to determine if there are
19
parties that might have been --- come on in -- generator,
20
site-owners, disposers, anyone who might have been
21
potentially responsible for the site contamination.
And if
22
those parties, when they're identified, are willing and able
23
to conduct the activities, EPA negotiates with those parties
24
That saves money for the
and allqws them to do the work.
25
funds for sites where we don't have the potentially
Page 6
-------
responsible party -- potentially responsible party
2
identified.
So. those two bubbles are really reversed.
3
If you cannot come to agreement with the PRPs, then
4
again, Superfund monies can be spent and the PRPs may be
5
liable for the cost that is spent.
6
At that point in time, when negotiations occur --
7
let me back up a second -- if there is agreement, then a
8
Consent Order which is a -- it's a legal document -- EP~ has
9
their attorneys, PRPs have their attorneys -- and we do come
10
to some sort of agreement to conduct the work.
11
The RIfFS is then conducted.
The Remedial
12
Investigation, the RI, is a study, it's an in-depth study
13
that determines the nature and extent of the contamination.
14
It determines the media that's been contaminated.
It
15
determines where it is, how deep it is, how far it's gone.
16
The Feasibility Study is then conducted which looks at the
17
available technology of how we can cleanup particular
18
medias.
How do you cleanup ground water out of grass roots?
19
How do you cleanup sub-surface
Down in the ground water.
20
soils?
And we're still learning.
We will continue to learn
21
for a long time.
22
At that point. we take the alternatives with the
23
different technologies that we looked at that can be used
24
for particular sites and we develop them on a site specific
25
Some things just aren"t practical or they're too
basis.
Page 7
-------
expensive; and in further development process, there's a
2
proposed plan that comes out.
One, in particular, looks the
3
best so to speak.
Once the proposed plan or the selected
4
alternative is developed, it is presented to the State,
5
presented to the public or to the community.
We would like
6
your acceptance.
We need to know your response to it.
7
That's why we're here.
All the comments, all the analytical
8
data, any -- all the applicable environmental laws that also
apply; the water act, any State statutes.
They're also taken into account when we make the
9
10
11
decision which brings us to ROD.
That stands for Record of
12
Decision.
Once all this information is compiled, your
13
comments, the State's response. all the data, we develop a
14
Record of Decision submitted to my Regional Administrator
15
and hopefully he approves it.
16
After approval, we may enter into negotiations with
17
th~ PRPs to conduct the Remedial Design and Remedial Action.
18
The Remedial Design is just what it says.
It's the actual
19
design of the cleanup.
It's the engineering specs;
it's
20
well locations, fence locations. monitoring programs.
It
21
has everything in the plan.-- we have to again to approve
22
and review to make sure the State approves; and in RA,
23
Remedial Action. is the point we all like to get to, actual
24
cleanup, the implementation of the cleanup of the site.
25
The only -- at that point. what you have left is
Page 8
-------
the removal of the NPL.
The only time that that can occur
2
is when the site has actually been cleaned up and that's all
3
in the process, also.
There are certain types of ground
4
contamination that could take years, decades.
5
I'd like to go to sites specific now and bring it
6
to the Jadco-Hughes site.
7
When 1 made my introductions earlier, 1 failed
8
to -- to acknowledge some of our PRPs are here tonight; and
9
we have the Steering Committee spokesperson and their
10
consultants, consultants; and attorney -- Ben, would you
11
like to introduce any of your people.
12
MR. BEN LEACH:-
I guess we're just here to listen.
13
But I don't think we have anything to talk about.
14
As most of you know, the Jadco-Hughes
MS. BENOY:-
15
site is located in Belmont, Longhaven Street, and I believe
16
right over this hill, or this hill. this one?
it's
17
It consists of. approximately, six acres and it was
18
originally used as a solvent reformation facility or it was
19
supposed to be used for that.
That process -- that
20
facility, design, ultimately failed and it resulted in more
21
of a storage facility of quite a bit of accumulation of
22
There was industrial waste. solvent waste. a lot of
waste.
23
things just needed to be discarded and the site seemed to be
24
a convenient place to put things.
Historical
25
indicates that operations did begin as early as 1959 --
Page 9
-
---.------
- --~~------.
-------
. 10
excuse me,
1969.
No official records of the facility --
2
don't show the operations beginning until 1971.
,
The
3
accumulation of waste materials include large tanks on the
4
site as well as about eighteen thousand drums.
There was
5
Over the lifetime of the site, there were
stained soil.
6
spills into the creek.
Those of you that live here are
7
quite a bit more aware of what went on at the site than I
8
But complaints from the community were frequent and
am.
9
they were serious, and the site was finally closed down by
the State in 1975.
11
During that year, I believe the cleanup was
12
initiated and it continued through 1978.
In 1983, the final
13
removal of some of the bulk storage tanks was also
14
In that same year, EPA conducted samplings.
conducted.
15
Private wells were sampled, soil on the site was sampled,
16
sediment and surface water from the streams were sampled and
17
the resulting data was subjected to the HRS system we talked
18
about; and due to the potential contamination for ground
19
water and surface water this -- the resulting score was 42.
20
The site was proposed for the NPL in 1984 and was
21
finalized in 1986.
EPA then negotiated with various firms
22
that had conducted business with Jadco-Hughes facility.
And
23
they came to an agreement of the Administrative Order On
24
Consent 1986, in September; and, again, as I said earlier
25
the Consent Order outlined the terms in which EPA will allow
Page 10
-------
~ -.-.-----
the PRP to conduct the RI/FS.
2
During the RI, this is an old map which comes from
3
a much previous report but it was a very good one from an
4
overview site.
Contamination was detected in surface water
5
and soil, particularly in the landfilled area, which you see
6
where the concrete pad is -- that's the operation's area and
7
that's what we usually refer to as the
Report.
8
The area where the word, culvert, is in this box. bottom
9
area was also determined to be contaminated with significant
10
levels of PCBs.
11
ThE' landfill in the operations area and the pit
12
areas that were used were found to be contaminated
13
predominantly with volatile organic compounds.
PCBs at
14
lower levels in this well area revital lower cor~er.
were
15
found in landfills as were metals and extracted organic
16
compounds.
But again, the predominant contamination of the
17
soils seems to be volatile organic compounds.
18
The ground water has also been found to be
19
contaminated and volatile organic compounds seem to be the
20
most common.
Because we had different classifications of
21
chemicals, I kept them in the classifications to talk about
22
presenting to you different classifications.
More specific
23
data is available in the reports.
We did not include them
24
in our proposed plan because it would have been a lot of
25
information.
Page 11
-------
The Feasibility Study and Remedial Investigation
2
are in the information repository and I'll try to answer
3
y~ur questions about that.
The ground water contamination.
4
we have seen the most significant levels on site.
Ther':! has
5
been resampling of the offsite private wells -- I have to
6
adjust my voice
and some low levels have been detected in
7
some of the private wells.
But they are low -- at levels
8
that are below drinking water standards and if -- I'm not
9
aware of anyone using private wells solely for the drinking
10
If anybody knows of one, please let me know.
water.
11
The private wells that we sampled are to the north
12
of the site and that is the direction that the ground water
13
is migrating.
14
The surface water contamination was also with
15
volatiles.
And this map. I don't really consider i~ quite
16
accurate in showing surface water.
But the surface water
17
contamination is believed to be due to either the discharge
18
of the ground water, contaminated ground water, through this
19
culvert.
You can see the dash line that goes through the

21
likely in place but, also, another source of contaminated
22
surface water could be surface water run off from the site
23
itself.
24
The Feasibility Study, as I said, is the next step
25
in the process of where we take the different technologies
Page 12
-,
-------
that are available -- and I'm going to speak mostly from the
2
slides -- that are available and that can work for a
3
particular site.
For example, the soils -- some of the
4
things that are considered capping, where a cap is put on
5
top of the soil so that they cannot be -- they're not an
6
exposed pathway.
However, it leaves the contaminated soil
7
on site.
Removal, that's always an OPtion -- pick it up.
8
One of the questions with removal is what do you do with it
9
wh~n you pick it up.
You've got to do something with it.
10
Treatment -- such as incineration -- that's one of
11
the options ~hich you can use.
Soil washing -- where the
12
80il is actually washed.
Soil vapor extraction which you'll
13
learn a little bit more about ---
14
MR. TONY HAYES:-
--- ma'am, may I interrupt you
15
ju~t for a'second?
16
Yes, sir.
MS. 8ENOY:-
17
I certainly wish you would rule out
MR. HAYES:-
18
incineration at all.
They had a minimum incinerator down
19
there that was just absolutely terrible.
If you'll notice,
20
it's in a pocket like this and you have more or less an
21
inversion there that holds all this in
; and
22
it's just absolutely
I would hope that ya'll

Page 14
-------
The other media which is really more than -- and
2
ground letter -- some of the options that we look at are
3
physical containment, where we physically containment it.
4
The hydraulic containment is technology that yOU put a
5
barrier within the soil that prevents the surface water
6
, the ground water from moving and migrati~g
7
from the site.
Treatment such as air stripping, activated
8
carbon adsorption, in-situ bioremediation -- these are
9
treatments designed to reduce and ultimately eliminate
10
contamination to a certain -- bring it down to levels,
11
cleanup levels.
12
For the Jadco-Hughes site, the Feasibility Study
13
presen~ed -- let me back up.
Thirteen technologies were
14
identified in the Feasibility Study.
And for the Jadco-
15
Hughes site, eleven were further developed.
And I'll just
16
briefly go through these.
17
No further action.
No further action i~ required
18
to be considered for every site; for more than one reason.
19
But basically, to give EPA and the public an idea of base-
20
line comparison.
This is how the site is, the risk that it
21
poses, this is the problem that it is, as it 1s, if nothing
22
else were to be done to it.
Are you following me?
I hope I
23
said that clear.
24
Deed/Access, Restriction and Monitoring.
Deed
25
restriction doesn't do much.
It identifies in the future
Page 15
-------
property purchasers if there's a problem with the site.
2
Access restrictions -- again, it keeps people out, but it
3
does nothing to eliminate the problems.
Monitoring --
4
monitoring is -- you can watch to see if the contaminati~n
5
migrates it's a problem, has left the site, YOU can watch to
6
see if the problem -- what the contamination does.
But it
7
doesn't do anything -- Number 2. doesn't reduce -- well
8
doesn't change -- it's not really any different from the no
9
further action as far as the cleanup technology.
10
The next three are just official steps added on.
11
The third one would be -- is Number 2 plus a cap.
Agai n. it
12
does not -- it does not treat the soil, it just covers the
13

15
Number 4 was that -- those options, plus ground
16
water extraction, ultra-violet treatment. discharge to Fites

18

19
Off-site land disposal is Number 6 with Ground

the ground water that is contaminated with extracted wells.
21
wells that would pull the contaminated ground water out 0f

the soil and remediate the ground water.
So, EPA has a plan

to keep the highly contaminated ground water that's on the

Dear Mr. Dixon:
Re:
Responses to Comments on Interim Soil Removal Work Plan
~es Superfund Site - Gaston County, N.C.
Enclosed are three (3) copies of the revised Interim Soil Removal 'Nork Plan for the
Jadco-Hughes Site which is being submitted on behalf of the steering committee.
The Work Plan has been revised as per the comments provided by the Cnited States
Environmental Protection Agency. These comments were made on the version or
the Work Plan that was submitted to the USEP A prior to the signing of the
Administrative Order (AO) that addresses the scope of removal.
The AO requires the Work Plan to contain the RIfFS Quality Assurance Project Plan
(QAPP). This QAPP has been supplied to and approved by the USEPA for the RI/FS
and was provided to the USEP A for the purpose of finalizing the AO. Hence, it is
incorporated into this work plan by reference.
All USEPA comments have been incorporated into the text, except as indicated on
Table 1. References to further geophysical studies of the Site have been removed
from the Work Plan as agreed to by the l:SEP A since the previously contemplated
study was unrelated to the soil removal action.
-------
TABLE 1
SUMMARY OF RESPONSES TO COMMENTS
JADCO-HUGHES WORK PLAJ~
Comment No.1
The Work Plan must address the site access for Mr. Matthew Plemik's property.
Access problems with Mr. Pleetik should be avoided. The Plan discusses
mobilization of soil excavation equipment but makes no mention of the use of
equipment on Mr. Plecnik's property. If heavy equipment or any equipment will be
used on Mr. Plecnik's property, a written request is needed before any mobilization
of equipment onto Mr. Plemik's property.
Response No.1
Comment acknowledged. The access agreement for Y!atthew Plecnik's property is
presented in the work plan as Attachment C.
Comment No.2
A staging area must be designated for all soil excavation equipment that will be used
to remove soil on site. An office trailer (Command Post> should be located outside
on the "exclusion zone". The exclusion zone for the Jadco-Hughes site needs to be
defined in the Work Plan.
Response No.2
Section 2.1.1 (Mobilization) identifies the use of an office trailer (command post).
The exclusion zone is defined in Attachment A, Section 1.8 (Work Areas/Site
Control). Figure 2.2 illustrates the soil staging area, the exclusion zone and the
, location of the command post.
Comment No.3
The Work Plan must also address the sampling of the PCB contaminated soil across
the site based on a grid pattern of no greater than 50 feet by 50 feet. This action
should be taken before any excavation of soil on site. Surficial soils and sediment
samples should be collected for verification of cleanup pursuant to USEP A
guidelines (USEPA, 1985). As mentioned in the Work Plan, the guidelines provide
-------
July 26, 1990
Reference ~ o. 3-480
-2-
for composite soil samples to be collected in the contaminated area to assess the
cleanup of the PCB contaminated soil. Results of the composite samples should be
below the cleanup criteria of 10 mglkg that was established as the cleanup goal for
the site.
Response No.3
Section 2.1.2 (Site Preparation) details the sampling of PCB contaminated soil.
Figure 2.3 illustrates the grid pattern.
Comment No.4
The Plan only mentioned a geophysical survey along the northwest site fenceline,
but the objective of the geophysical investigation needs to be defined. The
geophysical investigation should not be limited to only the northwest site fenceline
as mentioned in the Work Plan. It would also be very helpful in knowing which or
what types of magnetometer would be used to perfonn the geophysical
investigation.
Response No.4
All geophysical/magnetometer information removed from the work plan.
Comment No.5
The Work Plan must address the site preparation which included the clearing of the
vegetative brush and trees, if any. The trees should be cut at the surface, with the
roots being dug up and stockpiled with any and all contaminated soil in the
contaminated area. The soil on the tree root may contain PCB contaminated soil.
Response No.5
Section 2.0 (Scope of Work), the component titled "tree clearing" acknowledges this
comment.

Dust control measures should be used during the removal of the vegetative area
and the stockpiling of contaminated soil in the staging area.
Response No.6
Section 2.0 (Scope of Work), the component titled "soil removal" acknowledges this
comment.
Comment No.7
In the event of rain during the stockpiling of contaminated soil; the stockpile
should be covered and protected from rain to prevent any run-off of water from
contaminated soil.

Comment No. 13
Sections 1.12 and 1.17 provided limited infonnation on decontamination
procedures. A separate section should be provided to address decontamination.
Decontamination must be conducted upon each egress hom the exclusion zone. A
decon procedure should be developed to provide a step-by-step progression of
decontamination which must be strictly adhered. Also to be provided is a list of
decon supplies and equipment. Decontamination of personnel and heavy
equipment should be addressed separately.
An unusual mention of. decontamination found on page A-24 states that the
Engineer will certify each piece of equipment decontaminated prior to sire removal.
Will decontamination actually be certified? Perhaps this is a reference to
inspection/supervision. If they are actually going to certify the decon, then please
provide an example certificate. .

INTRODUCTION
The Jadco-Hughes Site is a six-acre former solvent
reclamation and waste storage facility located in ~orth Belmont, North
Carolina. The Site is the subject of a Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study
(RI/FS) under an Administrative Order on Consent (AO) between the Cnited
States Environmental Protection Agency (L"SEP A) and a group of companies
who conducted business with the former operations. Some of these
companies, called Potentially Responsible Parties (PRPs), have formed the
Jadco-Hughes steering committee.
The steering committee submitted the Remedial
Investigation Report for the Site (CRA, December 1989) on December 13,1989
to the USEPA. Comments were received and a revised Rl report was
submitted on February 20, 1990 (CRA, February 1990).
The steering committee also submitted the Feasibility
Study report (CRA, February 1990) and the Superfund Risk Assessment (SRA)
report for the Site (CRA, February 1990) on February 21, 1990.
The SRA report identified an unacceptable risk from
dermal contact with Site soils situated in and adjacent to a swale along the
southeasf side of the Site. Accordingly, the steering committee proposed in
the FS report (Section 1.2) to undertake an interim remedial measures (IR.'vO
plan to restrict access to the Site and remove PCB-contaminated soils above
10 mg/kg.
. 1
-------
The physical removal and off-Site landfilling of soil
contaminated with PCBs is permitted under the national variance to the land
disposal regulations (40 CFR 268) for halogenated organic compound (HOC)
contaminated soils from CERCLA sites. This variance terminates on
November 8, 1990.
The purpose of this report is to describe the steps
associated with the implementation of a program to remove the
PCB-contaminated soil from the area surrounding the southeast swale area.
The removal of the contaminated soil shall be done in accordance with a
health, safety and site control plan which is presented as Attachment A. The
objective of the program will be to remove sediments from the swale bed and
surficial soils from the immediate swale area which has been characterized
during the RI to contain PCBs above 10 mg/kg. The soil will be disposed of
off Site and the cleanup will be verified on Site. The excavated soils will be
replaced with clean imported backfill. Off-Site disposal is preferred over other
alternatives due to the small volume of soils being considered for removal.
The report will also describe the steps associated with the
construction of a full perimeter fence and the completion of a geophysical
survey along the northwest Site fenceline.

1.1
BACKGROUND
The Site is located on Cason Street (State Road 2040) in an
unincorporated jurisdiction between the Cities of Belmont and Mount Holly
in Gaston County, North Carolina. The Site location is shown on Figure 1.1.
C.A. Hughes Inc. operated a solvent recovery and
reprocessing operation on the Site from 1968 to 1974. Jadco, Inc. took over
operations on the Site from 1974 to 1975.
Over the course of the operations on the Site, an
inventory of up to 18,000 drums held in open outdoor storage and an
inventory in aboveground storage tanks was accumulated. The presence of
the drums on Site, discharge incidents and complaints by local residents led to
a State-ordered closure of the Site operations in 1975. A state ordered cleanup
was conducted in two phases: 1975 to 1987 and 1981 to 1983. This cleanup
reportedly resulted in the removal of the drum inventory, decanting of some
drums in partially lined decant pits, and the consolidation of surficial soils
from the Site into an on-Site landfill, approximately one acre in size.
Further information on the operations on the Site and the
1975-1983 cleanup is contained in the RI report (CRA, February 1990).

NATURE AND EXTENT OF PCB CaNT A.'vfIN A TION
The RI report identified an area of PCB con tamina tion
along the southeast perimeter of the Site. The location of the southeast swale
area is shown on Figure 1.2
The delineation of PCB contamination was conducted
with a supplemental surficial soils and sediment sampling program approved
by the USEPA in October 1989. The supplemental sampling program
involved the collection of 26 sediment and surficial soil samples for PCB
analyses. Sediment sampling for PCBs during both Phases I and II of the RI
produced a total of 45 sediment sampling points for PCBs. Table 1.1 presents
the analytical data for PCBs in sediment and surficial soil. Figure 1.2 presents
the distribution of PCB concentrations in the southeast swale area.
The areal extent of PCB contamination over 10 mg/kg is
estimated to be 440 square yards. CRA's experience has shown that PCB
contamination is generally confined to the top 10 inches of soil. Samples of
PCB contaminated soils in the southeast swale area were not collected' at
depth. Thus, based on the surficial data, it is estimated that a total of
1,000 square yards of soil will have to be excavated for disposal because of the
inability of the excavation equipment to segregate the isolated zones of
contaminated soils. The affected areas are shown on Figure 1.3.
Following backfilling of the excavated areas, excavation
equipment will be decontaminated in an on-Site decontamination area prior

. Soil Removal
Affected soils will be excavated with a backhoe and
stockpiled in the soil staging area in preparation for loading on to transport
trucks or loaded directly into transport trucks for off-Site disposal.
A polyethylene cover will be placed over the soil at the
staging areas during intermittent periods when no work is being performed
or when it is raining. Soils which are saturated with water (if any) will be
stabilized prior to loading.
The southeast swale area is characteristically moist. In
areas where the soils are not moist in their native condition, a water mist will
be utilized to control fugitive dust emissions.
Surface water runoff will be prevented from entering
excavations using dikes, sandbags, ditching or other available means. All
surface runoff which has been diverted around excavations will be permitted
to follow the existing drainage paths. Surface water which has been pumped
out of excavated .areas will be contained and stored in wastewater storage
tanks for retention, sampling and disposal off Site in accordance with State
and Federal Regulations.
. Verification
Surficial soil samples will be collected for verification of
cleanup pursuant to USEP A guidance (USEP A, .1985).
7
-------
. Backfilling and Post-Excavation Work
Clean imported backfill which has been prequalified by
grab sampling for VOCs, BNAs and PCBs will be brought on Site to replace
the excavated soils. The land surface will be re-graded to its original contour.
2.1
MOBILIZA nON AND SITE PREP ARA nON
Mobilization and Site preparation activities include all
activities conducted prior to the initiation of soil removal.
2.1.1 ~obi1ization
Mobilization will include the preparation of operating
plans for the removal activities, obtaining necessary agency approvals and
mobilizing equipment to the Site. The operating plans will include:
. a Site-specific Health and Safety Plan,
. design drawings for the soil removal areas, and
. an operating plan detailing the sequencing of construction, removal,
verification and backfilling activities. The plan will also identify
recordkeeping requirements and project management responsibilities.
.8

-- -- - ----. ~.
-------
I-
I
The removal activities will be completed under an
agreement between the steering committee and the USEPA. An access
agreement from the adjoining property owner, Mr. Matthew Plecnik, will be
necessary to complete the work. This agreement is presented as
Attachm~nt C.
Following execution of the agreements, equipment
mobilization will begin. Equipment which will be mobilized within
one week of project startup will include:
. an office trailer (command post),
. sanitary facilities,
. soil excavation equipment,
. a decontamination facility,
. small tools and communication equipment, and
. health and safety supplies.
2.1.2 Site Preparation
Site preparation activities involve the co~struction of the
soil staging area and the delineation of exclusion zones. Utility requirements
will be met by a portable generator.
The soil staging area will be constructed on one of the
concrete pads remaining from the former operations area. Cracks in the
9
-------
concrete surface will be patched and the staging area will be covered with a
30 mil high density polyethylene liner which will be bermed on two sides.
The staging area for soil, the exclusion zone (based on
sampling data from the RD and the location of the command post (office
trailer) are shown on Figure 2.2
Soil samples will be collected from the southeast swale
area on a 50 foot grid pattern at the locations shown on Figure 2.3. The
sampling techniques will be consistent with the procedures identified in the
"Engineering" Support Branch Standard Operating Procedures and Quality
Assurance Manual Region IV (l:SEPA, 1986), Section ~9. 4.3:
. a sample of the surface soil will be collected;
. a shovel will be used to remove soils to a depth of 30 inches;
. loose soil from the sides of the hole or trench will be removed with a
stainless steel spoon; and
. soil samples will be collected at the 10 inch, 20 inch and 30 inch depths
from the sides of the hole or trench with a dean stainless steel spoon.
Samples from the surface and 10 inch horizon will be
analyzed for PCBs on a rapid turn around basis. If the analytical results for
anyone sample indicates concentrations of PCBs at the 10 inch horizon abov~
10 mg/kg, the corresponding 20 inch horizon sample(s) will be analyzed for
PCBs. If the analytical results for anyone sample from the 20 inch horizon
indicate the presence of PCBs above 10 mg/kg, then the corresponding 30 incJ
horizon sample(s) will be analyzed for PCBs.

2.2
SOIL REMOVAL
The objective of the removal program is to excavate soils
with PCB concentrations of more than 10 mg/kg for off-Site disposal. The
areas to be removed are indicated on Figure 1.3, and are estimated to contain
440 square yards of contaminated soils above 10 mg/kg. Approximately
1,000 square yards of soil will be removed to accommodate. the removal of the
contaminated soil.
The soils will be excavated to a depth of ten inches
pursuant to USEP A guidelines and stockpiled in the staging area. Soils or
sediment which are saturated with water will be stabilized prior to loading
onto transportation equipment.
2.2.1 Soil Stabilization
Soils and sediments will be stabilized in the staging area
using kiln dust, hydrated lime or an equivalent. The stabilizing agents will be
mixed with the contaminated soil so that the material will pass the. paint
filter test. The paint filter test is described in Attachment B. The stabilized
J1
-------
soil will be loaded onto trailers for transportation to an off-Site USEP A
permitted secure landfill.
2.3
VERIFICA TION
Surficial soils and sediment samples will be collected for
verification of cleanup pursuant to USEPA guidelines (USEPA, 1985). Surface
samples will be scooped with stainless steel spoons into stainless steel mixing
bowls. These sampling devices will be cleaned with the required Alconox
detergent and water rinse, followed by an isopropanol/hexane/isopropanol
rinse and a final deionized water rinse. These guidelines provide for
composite soil samples to be collected to assess the success of cleanup in spill
areas. Results of analyses on composite samples below the cleanup criteria of
10 mg/kg are indicative of a successful removal. Results above 10 mg/kg
dictate that the individual samples which were composited must be analyzed
to determine the location of the concentrations above the cleanup standard.
Samples will be collected from each of the excavated areas
(Figure 1.3) and cleanup will be verified according to the following procedure:
. each excavated area will be divided up into four quadrants;
. a composite sample comprised of soil from the bottom of each quadrant of
the excavation from six locations selected at random will be submitted to
the analytical laboratory for analysis on a quick turnaround basis;
12
-------
. if the analytical results for a composite sample exceed the cleanup criterion
of 10 mg/kg, then the quadrant from which the sample was collected will
be excavated a further ten inches and cleanup will be verified for that
quadrant; and
. if the analytical results for a composite sample are less than 10 mg/kg,
then the quadrant can be backfilled with imported fill.
2.4
BACKFILLING A.~ POST -EXCA V A TION WORK
Upon verificath:m of the cleanup oi the southeast swale
area, contaminated soil will be scraped from the staging area and hauled off
Site. All equipment used on Site will be decontaminated using a portable
steam cleaner. The resultant wash water wilt be collected, stored on Site and
tested prior to transportation off Site for treatment and disposal.
Following decontamination of the Site equipment, the
excavated areas will be backfilled with clean imported fill. The fill will be grab
sampled prior to its use. The collected samples will be analyzed for VOCs,
BNAs and PCBs. Sampling will be conducted in a manner consistent with
the Rl/FS QAPP. The area will be regraded to its original contours.

HEALTH. SAFETY AND SITE CONTROL PLAN
1.1
GENERAL
The work to be conducted during the Interim Soil
Removal program includes the handling of contaminated and potentially
contaminated materials. During the program, personnel may come in contact
with PCB and/or VOC contaminated soils and articles.
The health and safety plan presented hereiri is a guide to
be followed during the development of site specific health and safety plans by
the Remedial Contractor. These plans will be submitted to the l.;SEP A with
the 50% completion report. This Contractor's plan will provide a Site
organizational client, a list of the responsibilities of each position and a list of
each person's qualifications.
All on-Site personnel will be required to comply with the
health and safety requirements presented herein. This Health, Safety and Site
Control Plan provides for a safe and minimal risk working environment for
on-Site personnel. It also provides for emergency response procedures to
minimize the potential for adverse impact of construction activities on the
general public and Site control measures to mitigate the potential for
migration of contaminants.
The program presented herein is consistent with
approved health and safety protocols implemented during the Remedial
Investigation conducted at the Site.
A-I.
-------
The Site location is shown on Figure A.1.1.
1.2
BASIS
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA) Standards and Regulations contained in Title 29, Code of Federal
Regulations, Parts 1910 and 1926 (29 CPR 1910 and 1926) provide the basis for
the safety and health program. Additional specifications within this Section
are in addition to OSHA regulations and reflect for positions of both the
l:SEP A and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH) regarding procedures required to insure safe operations at hazardous
wasted sites.
The safety and health of the public and on-Site personnel
and the protection of the environment will take precedence over cost and
schedule considerations for all project work. Conestoga-Rovers & Associates
(the Engineer) and the on-Site Safety Officer shall be responsible for decisions
regarding when work will be stopped or started for health and safety
considerations.

area to be excavated are shown on Table A1.1. The material safety data sheets
for these chemicals are provided in Attachment D to the \Vork Plan.
The RI database for the Site confirms that the significant
chemical contaminants found in the soils in the southeast swale area are
PCBs.
PCBs are suspected carcinogens and acceptable exposure
levels in the air have been established by the American Conference of
Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGlli). The eight-hour time weighted
average (TIV A) threshold limit value (TL V) established for PCBs is
0.5 milligrams per cubic meter. The Immediately Dangerous to Life and
Health (IDLH) concentration for PCBs is 5 mg/ m3.
1.4
HEALTH A.1\JD SAFETY PERSONNEL
This section provides a description of the roles of Site
health and safety personnel. The people who will fulfill these roles and the
role of the Site safety manager/supervisor, project manager, and
subcontractor will be listed in the Remedial Contractor's Site-specific Safety
Plan which will be prepared prior to the initiation of excavation activity.
A Site Safety Officer who will, as a minimum, be an
Industrial Hygiene Technician with qualifications in occupational. health,
shall be on-Site during all major construction activities involving excavation
or securement of contaminated material. The Site Safety Officer will report
A-3.

for any two successive readings, or should the explosimeter indicate in excess
of 20 percent of the lower explosive limit on any single reading, then that
work location shall be shut down and evacuated upwind. The agency .
representative will be advised of these situations. Work shall not resume at
such a work location until authorized by the Engineer and Safety Officer.
Organic vapors will be monitored continuously using an organic vapor
photoionizer.
Personal dust monitors shall be located upwind and
downwind of activities involving the handling of contaminated material.
Personal dust monitors shall also be provided for the highest risk person at
both the interim storage and the contaminated soil excavation areas. It is .

DecOntamination Procedures: Decontamination procedures may be
required after cleanup to eliminate traces of the substance spilled or to
reduce it to an acceptable level. Complete cleanup may require
removal of affected soils. Personnel deconhunination will include
showers and cleansing or disposing of clothing and equipment as
appropriate. All contaminated materials including . solvents, clothes,
. soil, and wood that cannot be decontaminated must be properly
containerized and labeled, if. appropriate and properly disposed of as
soon as possible.
iii)
A release report will be submitted which will include final disposal
location of all spilled material.
If a release of a reportable quantity of material stored in a
tank or container occurs on Site, the following actions, if applicable, will
immediately be taken:
i)
Notify the Engineer and Site Safety Officer;
Take immediate measures to control and contain the release within

Upon implementing these procedures, the Site Safety
Officer will scan the immediate areas of the release, ~ncluding downwind,
with the HNu to identify the level of protection required for personnel safety
equipment to clean up the released material. As a minimum, personnel will
wear all specified protective clothing including full-face respirators. . Air
monitoring completed by the Site Safety Officer will determine the need to.
increase the level of respiratory protection. The air monitoring action l~veis
as presented in Section 1.16 of the Health and Safety Program will be followed
during any clean up of a release.
Solid releases from drums will be placed iItto approved
containers and covered. Each container will be labelled as to contents and
will be disposed of as soon as possible. Solid spills from haulage units will be
placed back into haulage units and disposed of as bulked material.
Uquid spills will be first covered with an approved
absorbent to absorb any free liquids to minimize the amount that may
. .
. infiltrate into the ground. The absorbent material and soils contacted by the
spill will be excavated and placed in approved containers. Containers which
are gen.ated will be labelled as to contentS and disposed of as soon as
possible.
All native soil in whiCh a release occurs outside the
Exclusion Zone will be sampled following cleanup of th~ spill to determine

The enclosed reports from Ultrox comprise the results of a
treatability study for Ultraviolet Oxidation. In addition, CRA's Quality
Assurance/Quality Control Assessment of confirmatory analyses conducted
by Radian Corporation are attached. The results are summarized below.
The test objectives of the treatability study were defined in
the Treatability Study Work Plan (CRA, 1990) as follows:
1)
Identify the effluent concentrations that are economically achievable by
Ultraviolet Oxidation (UVO).
2)
Identify appropriate dosages of proxide or ozone and UVR exposure to
effect treatment.
3)
Provide data to develop capital and operating and maintenance costs
for a UVO treatment alternative under FS.
4)
Define pretreatment requirements (eg. pH, adjustment, iron
sequestering, etc.) for Jadco-Hughes groundwater if a UVO system is
used.
The UVO trials concluded that the Site compounds could
be successfully treated and the test objectives were achieved.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
samples ot qround water trom the Jadco Buqhes site were
subjected to three UV/oxidation processes, includinq uv/o31
uv /B202 and UV /~/Rz02.
The primary contaminants tarqeted tor
destruction were ketones, halocar~ons and aromatic compound
(BTEX).
Base neutral compounds also were ot concern ~ut
were not analyzed tor ~y the ULTROX la~oratory.
Ground water treated with the UV/03/B202 in test runs 8, 8A,
8B and 8C all satistied ~oth surtace discharqe and P.O.T.W.
discharqe requirements in terms ot ketones, halocar~ons and
BTEX.
It was determined that depression ot the pH to
approximately 4.0 was critical to o~tain the desir~d result.
Additionally, it was determined that the 03:H202 ratio also
was very important.
A ratio ot 1:1 produced satisfactory
results
while
ratio
3:1
ot
(Run
lOB)
produced
a
unsatistactory results.
The CV/03 method did not produce accepta~le results.
The
CV /B202 test runs were marqinally successtul with slower
destruction rates than with CV /03/B202.
pH depression was
not attempted durinq the CV/03/Rz02 test runs as it normally
has an adverse ettect on reaction rates.

ALIPHATIC KETONE ANALYSIS
The analysis of acetone, methyl ethyl ketone and
methyl iso~utyl ketone was as follows:
Feedstock
samples
were
analyzed
for
acetone,
methyl-ethyl ketone and methyl iso~utyl ketone levels
usinq the Perkin Elmer Hodel 8500 Gas Chromatoqraph,
employinq the purqe and trap method,
and a flame
ionization detector.
The separation column contains
OV-101 (20% ~y weiqht) and C1500 (0.1% by weiqht) in
the liquid phase, on a chromosorb W support.
The
column lenqth is 25 feet, with an inside diameter of
0.085 inches.
Helium was used at the carrier qas, as
well as the purqinq qas.
The volume of sample (or
standard)

analysis,
each
milliliters.
Detailed cali~ration curves were constructed for
each of the three compounds listed a~ove.
In each
case,
peak heiqhts were plotted aqainst
compound
concentration in units of parts per million by weiqht
followinq
standard
chromatoqraph
runs,
employinq
-------
solutions containinq known levels of each compound.
After
each
sample
run,
peak
heiqhts
(for
peaks
identified by retention time) were used to determine
compound
concentrations.
In
nearly
every
case,
samples had to be diluted with distilled water prior
to analysis by purqe and trap, in order to:
1)
Insure that the peak heiqhts did not exceed the
upper
ranqe
for
the
cali):)ration
curve
correspondinq to each compound beinq analyzed;
2)
Insure
that
the
purqe
and
trap
column
or
separation column was not over):)urdened by volatile
orqanic materials from the sample.
In cases where no peak was detected for a qiven
compound
after
a
sample
run,
the
limit
of
detecta):)ility listed for that compound is a product
of the lower limit esta):)lished for the cali):)ration
curve (example 0.01 ppm for methyl ethyl ketone), and
the deqree of sample dilution prior to analysis.
(For
a 10:1 dilution of sample with distilled wter, the
actual limit of detecta):)ility would ):)e 10 (0.01 ppm)
= 0.10 ppm for the compound methyl ethyl ketone.)

However,

VIII.
RECOMXBNDATION
An on-site pilot plant demonstration
is recommended to
confirm the results obtained in the laboratory data.
The
. demonstration also vill qive some indication as to whether
or not the metals levels in the continuously pumped qround
water will cause significant sheath foulinq and, therefore,
require pretreatment.
Durinq the pilot work, sufficient data will be collected for
full scale equipment design.
A three week long on-site
demonstration is recommended.

Data Validation and Evaluation for the
Samples Collected for a Bench Scale Treatability Study
at the Jadco-Hughes Site in Belmont, North Carolina
The following details a data quality assessment and validation for one groundwater
sample collected January 11, 1990 at the Jadco-Hughes project site (the Site) in
Belmont, North Carolina. The sample was obtained for the purpose of conducting a
bench scale treatability study at Ultrox International (Ultrox) and establishing
baseline concentrations of organic contaminants in the untreated groundwater from
the Site. The sample was analyzed for volatile organic compounds (VOC) and base-
neutral/ acid extractable organic compounds (BN / A) by the Radian Corporation
(Radian). The methods used for analysis were from ''Test Methods for Evaluating
Solid Waste Physical/Chemical Methods", EPA SW-846, 3rd edition, November
1986 (SW-846), Method 8240, "Gas Chromatograph/Mass Spectrometry for Volatile
Organics" and Method 8270, "Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry for Semi-
V olatile Organics: Capillary Column Technique" for VOC and BN / A analysis,
respectively. The quality assurance and data evaluation were conducted in
accordance with guidelines established in SW-846.1
Holding Time Periods and Sample Integrity
Holding time periods were defined within the methods and are summarized below:
VOC
-14 days from sample collection to completion of analysis
BN / A -7 days from sample collection to extraction
-40 days from extraction to completion of analysis
Investigation of sampling and extraction dates revealed that the holding time for
BN / A extraction .was exceeded due to a delay in sample shipment from Ultrox to
1 Application of quality assurance criteria was consistent with "Laboratory Data Validation
Functional Guidelines for Evaluating Organics Analyses", February 1, 1988.

Radian. The BN I A results for the sample therefore were qualified as estimated .
Rea~ent Blank Samples
Contamination of the sample due to laboratory conditions or procedures was
monitored by the analysis of a reagent blank sample. Only the VOC blank sample
had a target analyte, 2-hexanone, present, the concentration of which was below the
stated detection limit and was not present in the sample. Consequently, no action
was taken on the data.
Surrogate CompoundJercent ~ecoveries (Surrogate ~ecoveries)
Individual sample performance for VOC and BNI A analyses was monitored by
means of surrogate recoveries. The acceptance criteria for the surrogate compounds
was specified in the method. Table 1 lists the BN I A surrogate recoveries that
violated the acceptance criteria. The remaining BN I A surrogate and all Vex:
surrogate recoveries fell within the control limits specified by the method. No
qualification of the base-neutral fraction data was required per USEP A guidelines.
The acid extractable fraction data for sample W-01119Q-PS-01 was qualified as
estimated (I> for positive results and unusable (R) for negative results due to
surrogate recovery for 2,4,6-tribromophenol being less than 10 percent.
To assess the long term precision and accuracy of the analytical methods on various
matrices, MS/MSD percent recoveries were determined. While insufficient volume
did not allow for a project sample to undergo MS/MSD analyses, a sample of similar
matrix was selected and analyzed. The percent recoveries reported for Vex: and
BN / A analyses were within the method acceptance criteria, except as presented in
Table 2, indicating that the methods did exhibit acceptable accuracy and precision.
It should be noted that the relative percent difference (RPD) of duplicate matrix
spike analysis for 4-chloro-3-methyl phenol was found to be 49 percent. While
SW-846 provides no acceptance criteria for method precision, this would violate
precision criteria (RPD < 42) set forth in "Contract Laboratory Program - Statement
of Work for Organics Analysis", February 1988. The lack of guidance for evaluating
-------
-3-
method precision coupled with the fact that the sample used for MS/MSD recovery
. determination was from a non-project source resulted in no action on the data.
Overall Assessment
Violation of holding time period criteria resulted in qualification of all BN / A data.
Sample collection techniques inconsistent with those specified in SW-846 resulted
in qualification of all VOC data. Furthermore, violation of surrogate recovery
criteria resulted in the qualification of all acid extractable parameters for sample
W-Oll19Q-PS-Ol. Consequently, these data may only be used for qualitative
assessment of analyte concentration in the groundwater. All qualification of the
data has been discussed and summarized in the provided text and tables.

Data Validation and Evaluation for the Samples Collected
From the Bench-Scale Treatability Study of Groundwater at the
Jadco-Hughes Project Site in Belmont, North Carolina
The following details a data quality assessment and validation for two post-
treatment samples collected February 16, 1990 at Ultrox International (Ultrox). The
samples were obtained for the purpose of evaluating the effectiveness of bench-scale
treatability processes conducted at Ultrox in reducing baseline organic contaminants
in groundwater collected from the Jadco-Hughes Site January 11, 1990. The samples
were analyzed for volatile organic compounds (VOC) and base-neutral/acid
extractable organic compounds (BN / A) by the Radian Corporation (Radian). The
methods used for analysis were from "Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Wastes
Physical/Chemical Methods" EPA SW-846, 3rd edition, November 1986 (SW-846),
Method 8240; "Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry for Volatile Organics"; and
Method 8270, "Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry for Semi Volatile Organics:
Capillary Column Technique" for VOC and BN / A analysis, respectively. The
quality assurance and data evaluation were conducted in accordance with guidelines
established in SW-846.1
Holding Time Periods
Holding time periods were defined within the methods and are summarized below:
VOC
- 14 days from collection to completion of analysis
BN / A - 7 days from sample collection to extraction
~ 40 days from extraction to completion of analysis'
Examination of sampling, extraction and analysis dates revealed that no violations
of holding time periods occurred. Therefore, the data were found to be acceptable
based on the above criteria.
1 Application of quality assurance criteria was consistent with "Laboratory Data Validation
Functional Gujdelines for Evaluating Organics Analyses", February .1, 1988.

Reagent Blank Samples
Contamination of the samples due to laboratory conditions or procedures was
monitored by analysis of reagent blank samples. Only the VOC blank samples had
target analytes present. Table 1 outlines analytes detected in reagent blank samples.
Parameter results for samples associated with the reagent blanks were qualified as
non-detect (U). Since the analytes detected within the reagent blanks were generally
at or below the referenced detection limits, no significant laboratory contamination
was observed.
Surroiate Compound""'percent ~ecoveries (Surroiate ~ecoveri~
Individual sample performance for VOC and BN I A analyses was monitored by
means of surrogate recoveries. The acceptance criteria for the surrogate compounds
was specified in the methods. Table 2 summarizes the BN I A surrogate recoveries
that violated the acceptance criteria. The remaining BNI A surrogates and all Vex:
surrogate recoveries fell within the control limits specified by the methods. BN / A
data from samples were qualified as estimated (J IUD for base-neutral extractable
parameter results, estimated (D for positive acid extractable parameter results and
unusable (R) for negative acid extractable parameter results as specified by USEP A
guidelines. It should be noted that while insufficient sample volume precluded
re-extraction and analysis, the associated reagent and method blanks exhibited
acceptable surrogate recoveries for the BN / A analysis.
To assess the long term precision and accuracy of the analytical methods on various
matrices, MS/MSD percent recoveries were determined. While insufficient
volumes prevented a project sample from MS/MSD analysis, a sample of similar
matrix was selected and analyzed for VOC analyses performed on February 23, 1990.
No violations of MS/MSD acceptance criteria was noted and, consequently, an
acceptable level of accuracy was achieved. While no guidance for precision
acceptability was provided in the method, the relative percent difference between
the matrix spike and matrix spike duplicate was found to be low (less. than 10%)
indicating an adequate level of precision was achieved.
No MS/MSD analyses were performed with the VOC samples analyzed on
February 21, 1990. The samples consisted of the trip and reagent blanks and,
consequently, would not be a representative matrix for MS/MSD analysis. A
method spike was analyzed, the results of which are presented in Table 3. No
violations of recovery criteria were noted, indicating an acceptable level of accuracy
was achieved on a reagent water matrix. No evaluation of method precision may be
performed on the Vex: data generated February 21, 1990.
No MS/MSD analyses were performed for the BNI A analysis. Consequently, no
evaluation of method, accuracy or precision was performed on the BN / A samples
and the parameter results were qualified as estimated (J or up for the samples.

Trip IDanJ< Samp~
Potential cross-contamination by diffusion of volatile organic compounds through
the septum seal into the samples during shipment and storage was monitored by
means of trip blank sample TB-2. Methylene chloride and acetone were detected in
the trip blank at concentrations of 6.9 J,Lgll and 5.3 J,Lg/l, respectively. Methylene
chloride was qualified as non-detect (U) based upon the associated reagent blank
sample. Acetone was detected in the trip blank at a level below the detection limit
and was not detected in the associated reagent blank. Sample 25-43.2, however, was
determined to contain a relatively high concentration of acetone (4,200 J,Lg/1) which
may have been the source of the acetone in the trip blank. No action upon the data
was required due to these facts.
Overall Assessment
Violation of surrogate recoveries and lack of MS/MSD analyses resulted in the
qualification of all BN / A data. Consequently, these data may only be used for
qualitative assessment of analyte concentration in the post-treatment sample. VOC
data exhibited acceptable levels of precision and accuracy and, therefore, may be used
for quantitative assessment of analyte concentration in the samples. All
qualification of the data has been discussed and summarized in the provided text
and tables.

1.
Because off-site private wells have been found to contain site contam;n:lnts
below the M<:l..t it is iII1perative that off-site private wells be included in the
poaDdwater monitoring requirementS, regardless of whether these wells are
QlU8nt1y being used for drinking water or DOt.
Be~1'se soil flushing is proposed as a soil treatment, the' remedial design
should also include provisions for initiating in-situ bioremediation in
conjunction with soil flushing. This approach may produce additional benefits
for little additional cost
2.
. .
3.
The draft ROD states that the UV -ozone treatment is the selected
contingency alternative to be used if the Belmont P01W will Dot accept the
pretreated groundwater. We are concerned that this technology is not proven
to be reliable. H the Belmont P01W does not accept the groundwater, we
-------
Mr. Greer C. Tidwell

Page 2 . -.
advise that a thorough review of tteatment technologies be conducted to
establish whether UV-Ozone treatment is the best suited for the task (as
opposed to steam stripping or air stripping. for example). If UV -Ozone
treatment is ultimately selected, we request that there be no Jess frequent
than weekly monitoring of the emuent discharge in the first 3 months of
operation to establish the technology's reliability and ensure compliance with
the NPDES permit.
4.
State concurrence in the Record of Decision and Remedial Alternative
Selection is based sole.ly upon the information containec in the attached
Record of Decision and Remedial Alternative Selection. . Should the State
receive new or additional information which significantly affects the
conclusions or remedy selection contained in the Record of Decision and
Remedial Alternative Selection, it may modify or withdraw this concurrence,
effeetive immediately, upon written notice to EPA Region IV. Such notice
shall contain a statement of the reason or reasons for the modification or
withdrawal of State concurrence.
s.
State concurrence in this Record of Decision and Remedial Action
Alternative Selection in no way binds the State to concur in future decisions
or commitS the State to panicipate in future activities regarding this site
including but not limited. to remedial design selection or State panicipation.
financial or otherwise, in the clean up of the site. The State reserves the right
to review, comment and make independent assessmentS of all future work
relating to this site.
Again, the State appreciates the opponunity to comment on the ROD, and we look
forward to working with you on the remedial design.

Dear Mr. Plecnik:
Re:
Permission For Site Entry
Jadeo-Hughes Remedial Investigation
Gaston County, NC
On behalf of the Jadeo-Hughes Steering Committee, we request your pennission to
enter your property in Belmont, NC to conduct an interim remedial measure (IR.'v{)
involving the removal of PCB contaminated soil required under the tenns of an
Administrative Order by Consent (AO) between the Steering Committee and the
United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA).
The property immediately to the west of your property in Belmont, ~C (which is
presently owned by the Fite family and hereafter referred to as "Site") is currently
the subject of a Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (RI/FS) ordered by the
USEP A pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation
and Uability Act (CERCLA). The objective of the RI/FS is to assess the
environmental impacts and health risks which the Site may pose in its present
condition and the need for remedial actions, if any. .
The RI/FS is being conducted by the Jadco-Hughes Steering Committee (Committee)
which is comprised of a group of respondents to a separate USEP A AO. The
Committee has retained. Conestoga-Rovers & Associates (CRA) to implement the
RI/FS and the IRMs on their behalf.
The RI Report, FS Report and Risk Assessment Report have been completed and
submitted to the USEP A. The RI report identified an area of contaminated soils
located along the southeast swale area which adjoins your property. The
contaminated soils have been shown to extend onto portions of your property.
USEP A and the Committee have determined that the most appropriate remedial
action for the soil contamination which extends onto your property is to excavate
the soil and prpperly dispose of it off site. The Committee would conduct this work
under an administrative order being issued by EP A. Once the excavation was

complete, your property would be backfilled and graded to its original contour with
clean imported soil.
The removal action would involve the installation of temporary fences, the clearing
of trees and vegetation for the known contaminated areas, excavation of the
contaminated soils, verification of cleanup by sampling and analysis and backfilling
and regrading of the excavated area. A permanent fence would then be installed
along the existing property line. The known areas of contamination are shown on
the attached Figure 1.
The Committee is seeking your permission to enter upon your property and
conduct the work described above. Since this work will involve the removal of
contaminated soil, it will provide significant benefit to you. Accordingly, the
Committee believes that it is in your best interest to voluntarily permit the
Committee to enter onto your property. U you are willing to permit access to the
Committee and its contractor to enter on your property and conduct the work,
please sign and date the copy of this letter and return it to us. An envelope and a
Federal Express overnight courier weighbill have been provided for your
convenience. To return the signed copy, please call Federal Express for pickup at
your home.
Should you have any questions regarding this letter, please feel free to cail us collect
at (519) 884-0510. We look forward to receiving your signed agreement.
On behalf of the Jadco-Hughes Steering Committee,
Yours very truly,

EXTINGUISHING ~ED(A: Carbon dioxide, dry che~ical, or alcohol type foam. Do not use a .0Lld stre3m ot ~ater
Slnce the strea. will scatter and spread the fire. Use water spray to cool fire-exposed tanks/containers.
Phenol ?resents a 80derate fire hazard when exposed to heat, flame, or oxidizers. When heated, It remlts
:OX1C fumes and vapors which will form explos1ve ~ixtures with air. Solid phenol burns wlth jiiricul:y,
givlng off a heavy s80ke.
Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing when fighti~g fires
involving phenol. NOTE: Water containing phenol can cause severe chemical burns.
SECTION S. REACTIVITY DATA
111l~ IJI;&terial is stable at roolD temperature under normal handl1ng and storage conditlons. It Joej not undergo
hazardous polymerization. Phenol 1S incompatible with strong oxidizing agents and halogens. ~eac:ion ~ith
calcium hypochlorite is exOthermlc and produces toxic fumes which may ignite. Hot phenol is corrosive to
~any ~etals. including aluminum, lead, magnesium, and :lnc. Reaction with these materials causes ?henol :0
become discolored. Do not heat phenol above 122°F (90°C).
Thermal decomposition or burning produces oxides of carbon and water.
