DESCRIPTIONB OF 6 SITES PLACED CM THE
FINAL NATIONAL PRIORITIES LIST IN FEBRUARY 1991
This document consists of descriptions of the 6 sites placed on the
National Priorities List (NPL) in February 1991. Also included as an addendum
are descriptions of 14 sites being dropped from the proposed NPL at this time.
The size of the site is generally indicated, based on information available
at the time the site was scored using the Hazard Ranking System. The size may
change as additional information is gathered on the sources and extent of
contamination.
Sites are arranged alphabetically by State (two-letter abbreviations) and
by site name.
Remedial Actions Under Superfund
The Superfund program is managed by the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA). It is authorized by the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), enacted on December 11, 1980, and the
Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA), enacted on October 17, 1986.
Under SARA, the "Hazardous Substances Superfund" pays the costs not assumed by
responsible parties for cleaning up hazardous waste sites or emergencies that
threaten public health, welfare, or the environment. In October 1990, SARA was
extended to September 30, 1994.
Two types of responses may be taken when a hazardous substance is released
(or threatens to be released) into the environment:
o Removal actions, emergency-type responses to imminent threats. SARA
limits these actions to 1 year and/or $2 million, with a waiver possible
if the actions are consistent with remedial actions. Removal actions
can be undertaken by the private parties responsible for the releases
or by the Federal Government using the Superfund.
o Remedial responses, actions intended to provide permanent solutions at
uncontrolled hazardous waste sites. Remedial responses are generally
longer-term and more expensive than removals. A Superfund remedial
response can be taken only if a site is on the NPL. After publishing
two preliminary lists and proposing a formal list, EPA published the
first NPL in September 1983. The list must be updated at least
annually.
The money for conducting a remedial response or removal action at a
hazardous waste site can come from several sources:
o The individuals or companies responsible for the problems can clean up
voluntarily with EPA or State supervision.
o The responsible party or parties can be forced to clean up by Federal
or State legal action.
-------
o A State or local government can choose to assume the responsibility to
clean up without Federal dollars.
o Superfund can pay for the cleanup., then seek to recover the costs from
the responsible party or parties.
A remedial response financed by Superfund is an orderly process that
generally involves the following steps:
o Take any measures needed to stabilize conditions, which might involve,
for example, fencing the site or removing above-ground drums or bulk
tanks.
o Undertake initial planning activities to scope out a strategy for
collecting information and analyzing alternative cleanup approaches.
o Conduct a remedial investigation to characterize the type and extent of
contamination at the site and to assess the risks posed by that
contamination .
o Conduct a feasibility study to analyze various cleanup alternatives.
The feasibility study is often conducted concurrently with the remedial
investigation as one project. Typically, the two together take from 18
to 24 months to complete and cost approximately $1.3 million.
o Select the cleanup alternative, after a period of public comment, that:
— Protects human health and the environment.
— Complies with Federal and State requirements that are applicable or
relevant and appropriate
— Is "cost effective" — that is, affords results proportional to the
costs of the remedy
— Uses permanent solutions and alternative treatment technologies or
resource recovery technology to the maximum extent practicable
o Design the remedy. Typically, the design phase takes 6 to 12 months to
conplete and costs approximately $1.5 million.
o Implement the remedy, which might involve, for example, constructing
facilities to treat ground water or removing contaminants to a safe
area away from the site.
EPA expects the iitplementation (remedial action) phase to average out at
about $25 million (plus any costs to operate and maintain the action) per site
and to take 6 to 12 months.
The State government can participate in a remedial response under Superfund
in one of two ways:
-------
The State cam take the lead role under a cooperative agreement, which
is much like a grant in that Federal dollars are transferred to the
State. The State then develops a workplan, schedule, and budget,
contracts for any services it needs, and is responsible for making sure
that all the conditions in the cooperative agreement are met. in
contrast to a grant, EPA continues to be substantially involved and
monitors the State's progress throughout the project.
EPA can take the lead under a Super-fund State Contract, with the State
having an advisory role. EPA, generally using contractor support,
manages work early in the planning process. In the later design and
implementation phases, contractors do the work under the supervision of
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Under both arrangements, the State
must share in the cost of the implementation phase of cleanup.

EMROOLD SaCODNDUCICR CORP. (M3UNEADJ VIEW PLANT)
Mountain View, California
Conditions at J^ff^j" (October 19841; Fairchild Semiconductor Corp.
manufactures semiconductors in Mountain View, Santa Clara county, California.
The facility occupies approximately 56 acres and is surrounded by residential
and industrial areas.
This site was originally proposed under the name "Fairchild Camera &
Instrument Corp. (Mountain View Plant) . " Tne company took the new name in
1986.
Monitoring walls on the site are contaminated with trichloroethylene,
1,1,1-trlchloroethane, 1,1- and trans-l,2-dichloroethylene, according to
analyses conducted by a consultant to Fairchild. Contamination is believed to
have resulted from leaking underground tanks. About 270,000 people depend on
wells within 3 miles of the site for drinking water.
Since early 1982, Fairchild has been investigating the site geology and
hydrogeology and attempting to define the lateral and vertical extent of
solvents underlying the site. Fairchild has installed two wells to punp and
treat the contaminated ground water plume. Tne company is working with the
California Regional Water Quality Control Board (CRWQCB) to further define the
extent of contamination and outline various cleanup strategies.
Tne plant received Interim Status under Subtitle C of the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) when the company filed Part A of a permit
application.
This is one of 19 sites in the South Bay Area of San Francisco.
Facilities at these sites have used a variety of toxic chemicals, primarily
chlorinated organic solvents, which contaminate a coiuun ground water basin.
Although these sites are listed separately, EPA intends to apply an araawide
approach to the problem as well as take specific action as necessary.
fFebr"?ry 1,??^) ; Continuing to determine the extent of ground
water contamination, Fairchild has installed more than 100 monitoring wells.
On August 15, 1985, EPA issued an Administrative Order on Consent under
CERCLA Section 106 (a) to Fairchild 's Mountain View Plant, as well as to Intel
Corp. 's and Raytheon Corp. 's Mountain View Plants. The order calls for the
companies to conduct a joint remedial investigation/feasibility study of the
area to determine the type and extent of contamination and identify
alternatives for remedial action.
Status (June 1988 > ; EPA is proposing to drop Fairchild Semiconductor
Corp. 's Mountain View Plant from the proposed NFL. Because the site is a
treatment and storage facility, it is subject to the corrective action
authorities of RCRA Subtitle C.
Fairchild now has 25 wells in operation that pump and treat contaminated
ground water and has installed three underground slurry walls to control
migration of contaminated ground water. EPA has sealed two abandoned
agricultural wells that were carrying contamination to the deeper aquifers.
EPA may also pursue cleanup under RCRA authorities and will ensure that
the cleanup protects public health and the environment. EPA can later
i ••TIL i JHJUII the site for the NPL if it determines that the owner or operator is
unable or unwilling to clean up the site effectively.
Status (^Vyrjffiry 1991 ) ; EPA is adding this site to the NPL because,
although it is subject to RCRA Subtitle C, the transfer of primary
responsibility from CERCLA to RORA would delay the overall cleanup of the
site.

SPECTRA-PHYSICS, INC.
Mountain View, California
Conditions at listing (June 1988) ; Spectra-Physics, Inc. (SP) has
manufactured electronic equipment and gas lasers on Terra Bella Boulevard and
Middlefield Roads in Mountain View, Santa Clara County, California, since
1961. The 11.5-acre site consists of nine buildings in a light industrial
complex. SP uses a variety of cleansers, degreasers, and lubricants in its
manufacturing processes, including isopropyl alcohol, acetone, methyl alcohol,
trichloroethylene (TCE) , Freon, 1,1,1-trichloroethane (TCA) , and Solvasol
Solvent 360. In an inspection conducted in 1981, the California Regional
Water Quality Control Board (CRWQCB) found that areas where hazardous wastes
were stored had no dikes or systems to collect leachate; rusty barrels were
also found on-site.
Ground water investigations began at the SP facility in September 1984
after tests at Teledyne Semiconductor (adjacent and downgradient of SP)
indicated possible upgradient sources of contamination. (The Teledyne site
was placed on the NPL in July 1987.) Soil and ground water collected at SP
contained TCE, TCA, and 1,2-dichloroethylene. SP's plume of contaminated
ground water has merged with Teledyne 's and •migrated off -site. More than 200
private drinking water wells had been drilled into the 1-square-mile plume.
Most wells have been closed; 47 were found contaminated above State Action
Levels. The owners now obtain water from municipal water supplies. An
estimated 189,000 people obtain drinking water from public and private wells
within 3 miles of the site.
Teledyne is operating two extraction wells on-site — one in the shallow
zone and one in the intermediate zone. The wells pump the water to the
surface and discharge it to the sanitary sewer; the ground water is not
treated before discharge. SP will evaluate the effectiveness of this system
in preventing its on-site plume from migrating off -site. Both companies are
jointly designing an off -site extraction system.
San Francisco Bay (2.5. miles downstream of the site) is used for
recreational activities. Permanente Creek is tidally influenced within 1 mile
of the site. Several species of birds designated as endangered species by the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service are found within the area of tidal influence.
1991) : In February 1990, SP installed a vapor
extraction system to reduce concentrations of contaminants in soil.
Under an order issued by CRWQCB, SP conducted a remedial investigation/
feasibility study (RI/FS) to determine the type and extent of contamination at
the site and identify alternatives for remedial action. The RI/FS was
completed in December 1990. In February 1991, CPWQCB will adopt a final
cleanup and abatement order requiring SP to implement the best remedial
alternative evaluated in the RI/FS. This alternative will include expanding
the existing soil vapor extraction system and the ground water extraction
system. In April 1991, EPA will complete a Record of Decision describing the
selected remedy.

KERR-MoGEE (KRESS CREEK/WEST BRANCH OF DUPAGE RIVER)
DuPage County, Illinois
Conditions at listing (October 1984): The Kerr-McGee (Kress Creek/ West
Branch of DuPage River) Site includes about 1.5 miles of Kress Creek and 0.5
mile of the West Branch of the DuPage River in DuPage County, Illinois. About
20,000 people live within 3 miles of the site.
In 1931, Lindsay Light & Chemical Co. established a mill in West Chicago
for the extraction of thorium and nonradioactive elements from monazite and
other ores. Later, the site was used for the manufacture of gaslight mantles
(which contain thorium), mesothorium, and, during World War II, hydrofluoric
acid. Ownership of the facility changed from Lindsay to American Potash &
Chemical in 1958 and to Kerr-McGee Chemical Corp. in 1967. Operations at the
site continued until 1973, when Kerr-McGee, the current owner, closed the
plant.
Over the years, a portion of the wastes from the plant was discharged
into Kress Creek, a tributary of the DuPage River, either via a storm sewer or
drainage ditch. Radiation contamination, which is found to a depth of several
feet along the stream, decreases with distance from the creek. Many of the
highest levels are found near the storm sewer outfall. Water in the area is
obtained from municipal and private wells within 3 miles of the site.
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission issued an Order to Show Cause,
dated March 21, 1984, requiring Kerr-McGee Chemical Corp. to either prepare
and implement a cleanup plan, or show it should not be required to do so.
Status (January 1986); Because of an administrative error during the
public comment period, EPA is extending the comment period on this site for an
additional 60 days,
Status (February 1991); In September 1988, Kerr McGee won a court
hearing against NRC, allowing Kerr McGee to disregard NRC's order to clean up
the creek. In October 1990, NRC ceded its regulatory authority over the site
to the Illinois Department of Nuclear Safety.

ANNE AHDNDEL COUNTY LANDFILL
Glen Burnie, Maryland
Conditions at: listing (June 1988): The Anne Arundel County Landfill
covers 130 acres on East End Dover Street at Route 10 in Glen Burnie, Anne
Arundel County, Maryland. An industrial park, homes, and a commercial area
are nearby. From the late 1950s until 1970, 30 acres that were once a gravel
pit served as a privately owned open dump. When the county took over daily
operations in 1970, it capped the old dump with 1-2 feet of clay, planted
vegetation, and installed 50 vents to release methane gas. Operations
continued elsewhere on the site until 1982.
According to a 1978 survey of waste disposal sites by the U.S. Congress
(the "Ekhardt Report"), approximately 100 tons of inorganic salts and solids
from Diamond Shamrock Corp. 's plant in Baltimore were deposited at the
landfill during 1977-79.
In August 1983, EPA detected trichloroethylene, dichloroethylene, and
chromium in monitoring wells at the site. The landfill overlies a recharge
area of the Patapsco Formation, which supplies drinking water to municipal and
private wells within 3 miles of the site. Tfle wells serve an estimated 93,000
people.
The EPA tests also detected cadmium in Furnace Creek downstream of the
site. The creek is tidally influenced as far as 1.5 miles upstream of the
site.
Status (February 1991); On September 7, 1990, the State signed a Consent
Agreement with Anne Arundel County to (1) conduct a remedial investi-
gation/feasibility study to determine the type and extent of contamination at
the site and identify alternatives for remedial action and (2) design the
remedy selected. In December 1990, the county, with State oversight, started
field work on the remedial investigation.

MIDVALE SLAG
Midvale, Utah
Conditions at listing (June 1986): Ihe Midvale Slag Site covers 300
acres in Midvale, Salt laJce County, Utah. Midvale (population 10,000) is part
of the Salt Lake City Metropolitan area (population 936,000). Between 1902
and 1971, United States Smelting, Refining and Mining Co. smelted ores on the
site to produce copper, gold, lead, and silver. The site consists of piles of
slag estimated at 2 million tons that remain from the smelting operations.
The smelter no longer exists. In 1971, Valley Materials, Inc., acquired the
site and processes the slag into materials for railroad beds and asphalt
highways.
Testing by the Utah Department of Health indicated that the slag contaijis
high concentrations of arsenic and heavy metals. The slag is found on the
surface and down to a depth of 20 feet. Hence there is a potential for ground
water contamination. Several municipal wells serving an estimated 440,000
people are within 3 miles of the site.
The Jordan River, which forms the western boundary of the site, is not
contaminated to date, according to tests conducted by EPA in May 1985.
However, slag piles are as close as 50 feet to the river, causing concern that
the river can become contaminated.
Status (February 1991); EPA emergency staff is fencing the site to
prevent people and animals from coming into direct contact with hazardous
materials.
In mid-1991, EPA plans to start a remedial investigation/feasibility
study to determine the type and extent of contamination at the site and
identify alternatives for remedial action.

WASATCH CHEMICAL CO. (LOT 6)
Salt Lake City, Utah
Conditions at listing (January 1987) ; The Wasatch Chemical Co. (Lot 6)
Site covers 3.7 acres in Salt Lake City, Salt Lake County, Utah. Wasatch
began formulating various organic chemical products, including pesticides, on
15 acres in the early 1960s. Subsequently, the site was subdivided into
parcels of 6 and 9 acres, which are now owned by two separate entities. Lot 6
has not been used since before 1980.
The Utah Department of Health estimates that approximately 2,300 cubic
yards of wastes have been disposed in a concrete pond and in drums on Lot 6.
During an inspection in June 1985, the State found 48 drums holding ignitable
and reactive liquids and 13 pressurized gas cylinders in poor condition;
several of the drums were leaking. Residential and commercial industrial
areas are within a few hundred yards of the drum storage area. Approximately
85,000 people live within 3 miles of the site. Additional wastes from the
operation were discharged into the 700 West Stream, a ditch that drains ir.to
the Jordan River.
Tests conducted by the State in June 1§85 detected several chemicals,
including pesticides and methyl isobutyl ketone, in ground water. 700 West
Stream also has elevated levels of some of these compounds. About 60,000
people obtain drinking water from private wells within 3 miles of the site.
The nearest well is within 2,000 feet. No alternative source of water is
available in the area. The Jordan River/Surplus can^l is used primarily for
industrial, irrigation (3 square miles) , and recreational purposes.
In January 1986, the State requested the owner of Lot 6 and a number of
other parties potentially responsible for wastes associated with the site to
remove drums and other materials from Lot 6. When they refused, the State
filed an action in Federal Court seeking the potentially responsible parties
(PRPs) to remove the drums and compensate the State for its costs. In
February 1986, the State and EPA negotiated a Consent Order under CERCLA
Section 106 for the drums.
In April 1986, during a CERCLA emergency removal action, EPA detected
dioxin in drums, standing water, and soil on the site. In the removal action,
EPA (1) excavated contaminated soil, (2) transported non-dioxin drums and soil
and the cylinders to a hazardous waste landfill regulated under the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act, and (3) placed dioxin-contaminated materials in
a temporary storage unit adjacent to Lot 6. EPA has reached a partial
agreement with several PRPs to pay for a portion of the emergency action. The
PRPs have also agreed to provide and maintain a storage facility for the
dioxin materials pending final disposal.
1991) ; Under a pay-Mai consent narrpg^ issued by the
State on September 30, 1988, the PRPs have conducted a remedial investigation/
feasibility study to determine the type and extent of contamination at the
site and identify alternatives for remedial action. The remedy planned will
cover contaminated ground water, soils, sludges, and other wastes, as well is
proper disposal of the dioxin materials stored on-site.

MESA AREA GROUND WATER CONTAMINATION
Mesa, Arizona
Conditions at listing (June 1986); Volatile organic solvents contam-
inate four wells in Mesa, Maricopa County, Arizona. Trichloroethylene,
tetrachloroethylene, 1,1-dichloroethylene, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, and Freon-
113 were detected in tests conducted by the Arizona Department of Health
Services and the City of Tempe. One well is owned by the City of Mesa and
operated by Motorola, Inc., to provide water for industrial purposes at its
nearby plant. The other three are owned by the Salt River Project and pump
into the Tenpe Canal, a source of irrigation water for about 20,000 acres and
a source of raw water for the South Tenpe Municipal Water Treatment Plant.
The area is highly urbanized, and the Tenpe well punps into a municipal
supply system serving an estimated 126,000 people.
EPA is in the process of identifying potential sources of the
contamination.
Status (February 1991); EPA has dropped this site from the proposed NPL
because the Motorola, Inc., plant, the only« source of contamination EPA has
identified, is subject to the corrective action authorities of Subtitle C of
the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act.

consists of two drinking water wells that are owned and operated by the City
and County of Honolulu. The wells are located in Waipio on the lower
Schofield Plateau in the County of Honolulu, Island of Oahu, Hawaii. One well
is contaminated with trichloropropane (TCP) , according to analyses conducted
by the Hawaii Department of Health and other government agencies. The other
well has been shut down for repairs and has not been tested for contamination.
The wells are part of a distribution system that provides drinking water to
3,400 people in the Waipio Heights area.
There are several well sites with similar contamination problems located
in the Schofield Plateau/Ewa Plain area of Oahu. The City and County of
Honolulu Board of Water Supply has conducted pilot tests on methods for
decontaminating the water in the area and has had success in removing TCP with
granulated activated carbon and with aeration towers.

CHEMPLEX CD.
Clinton/Camanche, Iowa
(October 1984) ; The Chemplex Co. facility is on
the western edge of Clinton and Camanche, Clinton County, Iowa. The facility
has manufactured high- and low-density polyethylene since 1963. Wastes
generated by this facility include peroxides, mineral spirits, vinyl acetate,
and various organic hazardous substances such as styrene, benzene, toluene,
and polyarcmatic hydrocarbons. Unknown quantities of these wastes were
of in an unlined landfill on the site, which has been covered and is
no longer used. Waste water containing some of these constituents was also
stored in a 2-acre lined impoundment on the site. During dredging of the
sediments fron the bottom of the impoundment, the liner was ruptured,
releasing hazardous substances.
The facility received Interim Status under Subtitle c of the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) when the company filed Part A of a permit
application.
Ground water downgradient of the landfill and the impoundment is contam-
inated with polyaronatic hydrocarbons and the other organic chemicals
identified above, according to tests conducted by the company and its consul-
tants. The company has recovered previously released hazardous substances and
taJcen measures to prevent the release of additional hazardous substances. The
company is conducting additional investigations to completely characterize
releases from the landfill.
About 5,000 people depend on wells within 3 miles of the site as a source
of drinking water.
status f7^nii^^Y ipflfi) : Effective December 31, 1984, Northern Petro
Chemical Co. , now USI Co. , purchased substantially all assets of the company.
The facility has installed a system for recovering contaminated ground
water and treating it prior to disposal.
In February 1985, the facility submitted Part B of its RCRA permit
application. EPA is reviewing the application.
Status (June 1988) ; EPA is proposing to drop Chemplex Co. from the
proposed NFL. Because the site is a treatment, storage, and disposal
facility, it is subject to the corrective action authorities of Subtitle C of
RCRA.
On September 19, 1987, EPA and the past and present owners/operators of
the Chenplex plant signed an Administrative Order on Consent under CERCLA
Section 106. The order calls for those potentially responsible parties (PRPs)
to characterize an on-site landfill, sample Rock Creek, which is downgradient,
and inprove the ground water recovery system.
EPA may also pursue cleanup under RCRA authorities and will ensure that
the cleanup protects public health and the environment. EPA can later
repropose the site for the NPL if it determines that the owner or operator is
unable or unwilling to clean up the site effectively.
Status fFflfrrvwy 19911 : EPA has dropped this site from the proposed
NFL.
The present operator is conducting a RCRA facility investigation for the
RCRA solid waste management units on the site. For the landfill and debut -
anized aromatic concentrate units on the site, the PRPs are conducting a
remedial investigation/feasibility study to determine the type and extent of
contamination. The work is under a CERCLA Section 104 order issued in
December 1989.
On September 28, 1990, EPA and the PRPs signed a Consent Decree under
CERCLA Section 104 requiring the PRPs to construct a system to pump and treat
contaminated ground water.

t INUt'lT CORP.
St. Charles, Missouri
Conditions at listing (October 1984) : Findett Corp. operates on a site
near the St. Louis suburb of St. Charles, St. Charles County/ Missouri, in the
floodplain of the Mississippi River., The Findett facility covers about
2.2 acres; however, contamination originating at the facility may cover a much
greater area. A municipal well field is 1,800 feet northeast of the site.
Among its activities, Findett reprocessed fluids containing PCBs during
1963-74. some wastes from the reprocessing were disposed of in a small pond
on the Findett property. In 1977, after significant levels of PCBs were
detected in the pond, Findett excavated and backfilled a portion of the pond.
In further investigations in 1979, EPA found that the pond area was still
contaminated with PCBs. As a result, EPA issued an Administrative Order under
the Clean Water Act in 1980 requiring further excavation of the pond area.
Additional sampling after the excavation indicated PCBs had migrated beyond
the immediate pond area and into subsurface areas.
The facility received Interim Status under Subtitle C of the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) when the company filed Part A of a permit
application for treating and storing hazardous waste.
EPA iygiicri an Administrative order on Consent under Section 3013 of RCRA
in September 1982. The order required Findett to design and implement a
monitoring, sampling, and analysis plan to characterize the nature and extent
of PCS soil contamination, as well as the potential for ground water
contamination in the immediate vicinity gf the Findett facility. Findett
installed monitoring wells and analyzed ground water for PCBs.
Status fi7an'"Ty 1986) ; In July 1985, EPA identified volatile organic
compounds in shallow on-site monitoring wells, and developed a workplan for a
remedial investigation/feasibility study (RI/FS) to determine the type and
extent of contamination and identify alternatives for remedial action.
Status (April 1988 ) : EPA is proposing to drop Findett Corp. from the
proposed NPL. As the site is a treatment, storage, and disposal facility, it
is subject to the corrective action authorities of RCRA Subtitle C.
EPA began the RI/FS in August 1987 after Findett declined to do the work.
EPA may also pursue cleanup under RCRA authorities and will ensure that
the cleanup protects public health and the environment. EPA can later
repropose the site for the NPL if it determines that the owner or operator is
unable or unwilling to clean up the site effectively.
Status ^February
EPA has dropped this site from the proposed NPL.
In January 1990, EPA sampled surficial soil on the Findett property, as
as adjacent properties, and is evaluating the analytical data to
determine if additional cleanup measures are necessary.
On May 14, 1990, EPA and Findett signed a Consent Decree under CERCLA
Sections 106 and 107 calling for Findett to (1) pump and treat shallow
contaminated ground water prior to disposal into the sewer system and (2)
PCB-contaminated soil off-site for treatment or disposal.
Ground water treatment under the May 1990 Consent Decree is scheduled to
begin in early 1991, and soil treatment later in the year.

QUAIL RUN MOBILE MANCR
Gray Summit, Missouri
Copri'ttions at lifting (September 19831 ; Quail Run Mobile leaner is a
trailer park located 2 miles east of Gray Summit, Franklin County, Missouri.
In the early 1970s, the road through the park was sprayed with an unknown
quantity of dioxin-contaminated waste oil. In 1974, sane of the soil was
excavated from the road and deposited in the area between the road and a
lagoon and also on two nearby properties which are also part of the site.
Early in 1983, EPA identified dioxin in soil samples from numerous
locations on the site, one as high as 1,100 parts per billion. As a result,
the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) issued a health advisory warning
that the more than 100 residents were at risk of developing adverse health
effects from dioxin if they remained in their hones. Sane of the residents
had ofno to the trailer park from Tines Beach, Missouri.
In May 1983, EPA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) , and the
State briefed the residents on the findings and explained FEMA's offer of
temporary relocation. Of 33 families, 29 applied for relocation.
Status (July 19841 ; A few families are still residing at Quail Run. The
site is scheduled to be cleaned up using CERCLA emergency funds. The project
involves excavating and restoring several on-site areas contaminated with
dioxin. The contaminated soil will be stored temporarily on the site.
EPA is not taking final action on this site because it does not meet the
criteria currently specified to place a site on the NFL. EPA is considering
revising the National Contingency Plan (NCP) , the Federal regulation by which
CERCLA is implemented, to permit Quail Ri^n and similar sites where OX has
issued a health advisory to qualify for the NFL.
status f-,Tannary 1986l : Removal actions are currently underway. All
families have been temporarily relocated, and all of the mobile homes have
been decontaminated and sent off-site for rehabilitation. The tasks remaining
under the removal action include construction of one remaining steel structure
of a total of 11 for temporary storage of contaminated soil; excavation and
storage of remaining contaminated soil; and site restoration.
On September 16, 1985, EPA revised the NCP to allow placing Quail Run and
similar sites on the NFL.
Status (February 1991) : EPA has dropped this site from the proposed NFL
because it no longer meets the health advisory.
As part of the removal action, EPA excavated soils containing more than
1 part per billion dioxin to a maximum depth of 4 feet or to bedrock.
Excavated areas were filled in with clean material to the original grade.
Pending final disposition, the excavated soils are temporarily stored in on-
site, fully enclosed steel structures surrounded by a secured 6-foot chain
link fence. The Missouri Department of Natural Resources maintains the
temporary facility.
During the cleanup, 28 mobile hones were decontaminated. For
verification, interior surf aces of the homes were sampled according to OX
Decontamination of exterior samples was also verified.
The mobile home park is now restored and recocupied.

BURLINGTON NCKBffiRN RAUHDAD (SOMERS TIE-TREATING PLANT)
Soners, Montana
Conditiora at listing (Octcfayf 1?94) ? Burlington Northern Railroad has
treated ties en a 4.5-acre sits in Sonars, Flathead County, Montana, since
around 1900. The plant's current operations are regulated under Subtitle C of
the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) . An old waste disposal
lagoon downgradient of the RCRA-regulated facility has not been used since 1974.
the old lagoon was used to ^gp-«e«> of creosote wastes from the wood-
treatment process. The wastes were discharged from the pond via a ditch to a
marshy area on the shore of Flathead lake, the largest fresh water lake west
of the Mississippi River. The lake is extensively used for camping and
fishing, and towns along the lake such as Sonars use it for drinking water.
On February 28, 1984, the State dug several shallow holes along the lake
shore and took samples of creosote-saturated sand below the ditch outfall.
Sludge/sediment samples were collected from the bottom of a 0.5-acre swairp
pond located along the shore adjacent to the waste ditch. The material was
silty-sand and stained with oil.
Early in March 1984, consultants to Burlington Northern drilled approxi-
mately 60 test borings in the vicinity of the swamp pond, in the waste ditch,
and below the seasonal high water beach of Flathead Lake. About 46 percent of
the test holes showed visual evidence of creosote contamination. The holes
encompassed an area of approximately 3.5 acres, including the pond. Soil
samples were collected from the test borings. Monitoring wells were installed
at 10 sites around the pond.
Status f.7ajT"flry IW?) ; In May andtfune 1985, Burlington Northern removed
contaminated sludge, soil, and water from the swamp pond under a CERC1A
Section 106 Consent Order for an immediate removal. The materials were placed
in two existing RCRA lagoons on the plant site which were reconstructed to
meet RCRA standards. The company is moving the sludges and soils to another
of its facilities at Paradise, Montana, where they are being placed in a waste
pile that meets RCRA standards. Swamp pond water was processed through the
plant's waste water recycling system.
In "** *•'* «"• 1984, Burlington Northern voluntarily submitted to EPA a
study to determine the type and extent of contamination at the site and
identify alternatives for remedial action. On October 9, 1985, EPA and
Burlington Northern sidled a Consent Order under CFRCTA Section 106 for a
remedial investigation/feasibility study (RI/FS) covering the old lagoon. The
RI/FS activities are scheduled to be completed in approximately January 1987.
fftfltVB (June 1988) : EPA is proposing to drop Burlington Northern
Railroad's Somers Tie-Treating Plant from the proposed NFL. Because the site
is a storage and ^ epical facility, it is subject to the corrective action
authorities of RCRA Subtitle C.
Burlington Northern is closing the two existing RCRA lagoons according to
a RCRA closure plan approved by the State. The company has submitted a draft
RI/FS and Endangerment A*""**"""""* naxnt to EPA for the old lagoon.
EPA may also pursue cleanup under RCRA authorities and will ensure that
ths cleanup protects public health and the environment. EPA can later

CXMLT OIL GO.
Billings, Montana
Conditions at listing (June 1988): The Comet oil Co. site covers
approximately 10 acres on Frontage Road in a residential/industrial part of
Billings, Yellowstone County, Montana. The facility opened approximately 25
years ago and functioned as a one-person waste oil re-refinery operation until
Bair's, Inc. (also known as Mountain States Petroleum Corp.) purchased it in
1974. In 1979, Bair's ceased operation for economic reasons.
A large number of storage tanks and empty 55-gallon drums are on-site, as
well as several waste oil lagoons and a large sludge pile. In 1985, 100,000
gallons of contaminated waste oil spilled when vandals opened valves on one
tank. Under the supervision of the Montana Department of Health and Environ-
mental Sciences, Comet collected 75,000 gallons of waste oil from the site and
a neighboring property; the other 25,000 gallons were lost to the environment.
Comet also covered parts of the site with 3-5 feet of soil.
Organic compounds, including benzene, phenol, 2,4-dimethylphenol,
naphthalene, and trans-l,2-dichloroethylene, are present in an off-site
downgradient monitoring well, according to MPA tests conducted in 1985.
Petroleum products and solvents are in soils throughout the site, to a depth
of 34 feet in some parts, according to EPA. Within 3 miles of the site are
four municipal wells and one private well that supply drinking water to at
least 5,500 people.
Contaminants at the site threaten the Yellowstone River, which is used
for recreational activities. The river is 0.6 mile downstream from the site.
Status (February 1991); In response to public comments, EPA re-
evaluated the site documentation and the site's score on the Hazard Ranking

Conditions at listing fOctofogr 1989); Kerr-MoGee Corp. 's Gushing Plant
cavers 116 acres in Gushing, in a rural area of Payne County, Oklahoma. Since
1915, numerous oil and pipeline caipanies have occupied various portions of
the site. In 1956, Kerr-MoGee acquired a refinery on the site and operated it
until 1972. During 1963-65, Kerr-MoGee processed uranium in a plant on the
site for the Atomic Energy Commission (AEG). From early 1965 until February
1966, Kerr-MoGee produced thorium metal from thorium nitrate provided by AEG.
After operations ceased in 1966, the plant was demolished. In 1972, soil and
wash water containing thorium were placed in an on-site surface impoundment
known as Pit 4. A number of other impoundments (Pits 1, 2, 3, and 5) contain
acid sludges and oily wastes from the oil operations; the pits were filled
prior to 1956.
In 1986, EPA detected uranium, radium, chromium, nickel, zinc, and
arsenic in on-site monitoring wells. An estimated 7,800 people obtain
drinking water from public and private wells within 3 miles of the site. A
private well is 1,000 feet from the site.

RICHARDSON FLAT TAILINGS
Summit County, Utah
Conditions at "H sting (June 1988); The Richardson Flat Tailings cover
approximately 160 acres in a valley 1.5 miles from most recent development in
the town of Park City, Summit County, Utah. At least 2 million tons of
tailings are on-site. They came from the Keetley Ontario Mine and other metal
mining operations currently owned by United Park City Mines (UPCM) . The most
recent use of the area for tailings disposal was during 1975-81, when UPCM
leased its mining properties to either Park City Ventures or Noranda Mining,
Inc. The two companies constructed and operated milling facilities on UPCM
properties.
Both the Utah Department of Environmental Health and EPA have
investigated the site in the past 3 years. The results show that the heavy
metals and arsenic present in the tailings have migrated into the soil below
the tailings, ground water, surface water, and air. Continued migration is
likely because the piles are unlined and uncovered. Elevated concentrations
of arsenic, copper, and lead were detected in Silver Creek downgradient of the
tailings. Water diverted from Silver Creek is used to irrigate pastureland
and hay fields within 3 stream miles of the»site.
High-volume air sampling at Richardson Flat Tailings documented that
arsenic, cadmium, lead, and zinc were released to the air. An estimated 4,500
people live year-round within 4 miles of the tailings.
Motorcyclists commonly ride on the site. In addition, airborne tailings
material blows across Highway 40 on a daily basis during the summer months.
This mining site is potentially eligible for cleanup funds from the state
of Utah's approved program under the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation
Act of 1979 (SMCRA) . EPA is developing a policy for listing such sites. This
site is being proposed for the NPL at this time to avoid delay in starting
CERCLA activities.
