STATEMENT OF BASIS AND PURPOSE

This  Record of  Decision  ("ROD")  documents the  selection  of a
remedial action for the Batavia Landfill  Site  ("Site") by the U.S.
Environmental  Protection Agency  ("EPA")  in accordance  with the
requirements   of  the   Comprehensive   Environmental   Response,
Compensation,  and  Liability  Act  of  1980,  as  amended by  the
Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act  of 1986 ("CERCLA"),
and the National  Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency
Plan  ("NCP").  This decision document summarizes  the factual and
legal basis for selecting the remedy for this site.

The New York State Department  of  Environmental Conservation has
been consulted on  the  planned remedial action in accordance with
Section 121(f)  of CERCLA,  42 U.S.C. § 9621(f),  and  concurs with the
selected remedy  (see Appendix IV).

An administrative record for the Site,  established pursuant to the
NCP, 40 CFR 300.800, contains the documents that form the basis for
EPA's selection of the remedial action (see Appendix III).

ASSESSMENT OF THE SITE

Actual or  threatened releases  of  hazardous substances  from the
Site, if not addressed by implementing the response action selected
in this ROD, may present an imminent and substantial endangerment
to public health, welfare, or the environment.

DESCRIPTION OF THE SELECTED REMEDY

The selected remedy pertains to the last  of  two  operable units for
the Site.   On March 31,  1993,  EPA  signed a ROD selecting a first
operable  unit  interim  remedy for  the  Site  that consists  of
extending  the  local municipal water  supply  line  to  residences
adjacent to the Batavia Landfill (the "Landfill").  This operable
unit  addresses the entire Site.   The  major  components  of the
selected remedy include the following:

1)  Excavation  of  contaminated  soil  from  drum  area  R  and the
approximately 7-acre magnesium fines area in the northern area of
the Landfill and consolidating these materials under the landfill
cap in the southern area of the Landfill.  Moving the wastes from
the  northern area  of  the  Landfill,  where the ground  water  is
shallow, to the higher terrain of the southern  area will also mini-
mize the migration of  hazardous constituents  to the ground water
and surrounding wetlands.

-------
2)   Subsequent  grading of  the northern  area of  the Landfill,
filling  it  with clean  topsoil,  and seeding it  for a vegetative
cover.

3)   Excavation of drums  from the southern area  of the Landfill
containing hazardous substances, which are estimated in number to
be 150.  The drums will be transported off-site for treatment and
disposal.

4)  Capping of  the southern region of the Landfill with  a NYS Solid
Waste Standard 'Cap designed and constructed in  accordance with the
substantive  requirements  of  6  NYCRR   Part   360-2.13(q),  which
includes a  minimum of  18  inches  of compacted clay  liner  with a
post-compacted maximum remolded coefficient of  permeability of 10'7
cm/sec throughout  its thickness  (a  minimum thickness of  40 mil
geomembrane),  a  24  inch barrier  protection layer of  soil and 6
inches of  topsoil  suitable to maintain  vegetative  growth, or an
equivalent design as permitted pursuant to the regulations (6 NYCRR
Part 360-2.13(w)).  Grading of the Landfill will be based upon the
final capping configuration determined during the remedial design
phase.

5)  An explosive gas survey will be performed to determine the need
for  constructing a passive  gas venting layer or  trench  system
underlying  the low permeability  cap  material.   Any  gas  venting
system would be situated beneath impermeable clay so  as  to increase
its effectiveness in controlling horizontal gas migration.

6)   Construction of  a leachate collection  system.   The leachate
collection system will be designed to provide a  physical barrier to
the  migration  of  leachate from  the  Landfill,  with  appropriate
pumping or other forms of leachate collection.

7)   Performance  of a pre-design  ecological assessment to  define
impacts of the Landfill on fish, wildlife,  and associated habitats
(especially wetlands).  This information will be used to determine
whether any wetland excavation  is  advisable to best protect fish
and wildlife, and if the assessment is determined  to be necessary,
the information will be used to determine the extent of appropriate
action.  Any sediments excavated  as  a   result of the ecological
assessment will be placed under the cap.  The construction of the
cap may  impact a portion  of  the wetlands, and  consequently the
information obtained during the ecological  assessment will  also be
used to assist in the design and construction of the  remedy  in such
a way as to minimize any adverse impacts  to the wetlands caused by
the remedy.  The selected remedy also requires that any damage to
wetlands or wetlands function will be mitigated.

8)   EPA  will  recommend   to  local  agencies   that  institutional
controls be undertaken to ensure that future land use at the Site
is restricted so as to preclude certain  uses of the  Site, such as

-------
is restricted so as to preclude certain uses of the  Site,  such as
restricting certain types of access to the Landfill and eliminating
groundwater use for human consumption at the Site.

9)  Implementation  of long-term operation and maintenance of the
Landfill cap systems  to provide for inspections and repairs.

10)  An evaluation of Site conditions  no less than each five years
to determine  if  the  selected  alternative  is  protective of human
health and the environment.

DECLARATION OF STATUTORY DETERMINATIONS

The selected remedy meets the requirements  for  remedial actions as
set forth in Section  121 of  CERCLA, 42 U.S.C.  § 9621, and
is protective of human health and the environment,  complies with
Federal  and  State  requirements that  are  legally  applicable  or
relevant  and  appropriate  to  the  remedial action,  and  is  cost
effective.     This   remedy   utilizes   permanent   solutions  and
alternative   treatment  technologies   to   the   maximum  extent
practicable,   given  the  scope of  the action.   The remedy  will
permanently  reduce   the  toxicity,  mobility,   and   volume  of
contaminants by reducing infiltration through the landfilled wastes
and collecting  and  treating  leachate.   In addition,  the remedy
involves  the  excavation  of  on-site  buried  drums  for  off-site
treatment and disposal.  A  review of  the remedial action will be
conducted no less than each five  years  after the commencement of
the remedial  action to ensure that the remedy continues to provide
adequate protection  to human health and the  environment because
this remedy will result in hazardous substances remaining on-site
above health-based levels.

SITE KAME. LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION

The Batavia  Landfill Site  (the  "Site")  is located approximately
three miles west-northwest of the City of Batavia, Genesee County,
New York  (see  Figure 1) .   The Site  includes  the 35 acre Batavia
Landfill  (the   "Landfill"),  which is  bounded  to  the  north and
portions  of  the east by  the  Galloway Swamp,  to the  east by the
Town's  former  Sanitary Landfill (now closed),  to the  south by
Harloff Road (the New York State Thruway, or Interstate Route 90,
is approximately 200 feet south of the Landfill), and to the west
by vacant property.  It should be noted that the boundary between
the Landfill and the  former sanitary landfill to the east is not
well defined.   In  fact, portions of  the  two landfills overlap to
some  degree.    The Town  of  Batavia owns  the  Landfill  and the
adjoining sanitary  landfill to the  east.   The  Site includes the
areal  extent  of  contamination  emanating  from  the  Landfill,
including any contamination impacting the surrounding wetlands.

SITE HISTORY AND ENFORCEMENT ACTIVITIES

The Landfill was owned by  private citizens  from  1828 to 1967.  The
land was  used  primarily for  agricultural  purposes  until approx-
imately I960, although during the 1950s,-portions of the property
were mined to provide construction materials for the  New York State
Thruway.   The  Landfill  accepted wastes,  including  industrial
wastes, for on-site disposal from 1968.until 1980, the year the New
York  State  Department  of Environmental Conservation  ("NYSDEC")
declared the property an open dump based on noncompliance with the
surface water  criteria  (40  CFR Part 257).    Poor housekeeping
practices  and  the  disposal of  industrial  and  hazardous  wastes
resulted in the closure of the Landfill.  Most of the wastes at the
Site were disposed in the southern and northern areas (see Figure
2) .  Available  information indicates  that no wastes were buried in
the central area of the Site, however, debris (e.g. tires, wood) is
visible at the  ground surface.  Industrial wastes  known to have
been disposed of  at the Site  include  chromium  hydroxide sludge,
magnesium sludges,  and sweepings containing  barium,  inks,  spent
solvents,  and oils.

In December 1982,  Fred C.  Hart Associates under contract with EPA
conducted a ground water sampling survey in the area of the Site.
Sampling  data from  three  on-site monitoring  wells,  installed in
1980 for the NYSDEC, revealed the presence of hazardous organic and
inorganic chemical constituents (including methylene chloride, 1,1
dichloroethane,  barium) which exceeded New York State and Federal
Drinking Water Standards.

On December 20, 1982,  the  Site was proposed for inclusion on the
National Priorities List ("NPL")  and  the Site was added to the NPL
by publication  in  the Federal Register on  September  8,  1983 (48
Fed. Reg.  40658).

The  following  have  been  identified as  potentially  responsible
parties ("PRPs") for the Site:

-------
     a.        Town of Batavia
     b.        City of Batavia
     c.        Eaton Corporation
     d.        GTE Products Corporation (successor to GTE-
                 Sylvania)
     e.        NL Industries, Inc. (because of activities
                 associated with its former Doehler-Jarvis
                 division)
     f.        R.E. Chapin Manufacturing Works, Inc.
     g.        Unisys Corporation (successor to Burroughs
                 Corporation)

EPA first sent notice  of  potential responsibility in 1982 to the
PRPs listed above or to a  predecessor or affiliate of such entity.
These  parties  were   subsequently  notified   to  solicit  their
participation at  the  Site,  in 1984  in  connection  with planned
Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Study ("RI/FS") activities,
and in 1988 in connection with the planned removal action.

On August  9,  1984, EPA entered  into  an Administrative  Order on
Consent ("AOC")  with NL Industries for the performance of an RI/FS
at the Site.

In August 1985,  NL Industries contracted with ERCO to conduct the
RI/FS.  ERCO,  in turn,  contracted  with GZA GeoEnvironmental of New
York (formerly GZA Associates, Inc.,)  to aid in the study.

GZA, working as a  subconsultant to ERCO,  completed a preliminary
study  entitled  "Remedial   Investigation Report for  Batavia  Town
Landfill,  Batavia, New York," dated December 1985.  The work done
to complete this report included assembly and review of available
data pertaining to  waste  types and quantities  suspected to  have
been disposed of at the Site, and a review of regional geologic and
hydrogeologic information  and prior reports.  The results  of the RI
confirmed that groundwater contamination was present at the Site.
Based on the available data base,  EPA deemed that additional work
was required to  better  characterize the chemical and hydrogeologic
conditions at the Site' prior to initiating the FS.  NL Industries
thus contracted  with GZA  to  complete an RI/FS.   ERCO  was  also
retained  by  NL  Industries  to   perform  selected  sampling  and
analyses.

In April 1989, NL Industries submitted a report entitled "Batavia
Landfill Site Draft  Remedial Investigation Report",  prepared by
GZA, which EPA determined to be insufficient for failing to provide
an adequate data base upon which  to develop  an FS for an overall
Site remedy.  In April  1991, NL Industries conducted a limited re-
sampling of selected project groundwater monitoring wells  for total
(unfiltered)  metals  and  hexavalent  chromium  and  resubmitted
"Batavia Landfill Site Remedial Investigation Report Final Draft"
dated  May  1992.     NL  Industries  and  EPA  disagreed  on  the
interpretation of the RI data.  EPA then contracted with Alliance

-------
Technologies, Inc. (subsequently renamed TRC Environmental Corpora-
tion,  and hereinafter  referred  to as  "TRC"),  an  EPA  Technical
Enforcement   Support   ("TES")   contractor,  which   developed  a
Conceptual  Hydrogeologic Model  for  the  Site  based  upon EPA's
interpretation of the RI data  (the "EPA Groundwater Model").  The
EPA Groundwater Model  was incorporated into the final RI Report for
the Site in place of the groundwater model  developed by GZA for NL
Industries.   The EPA Groundwater  model concludes"  that  the Site
poses a potential threat, via the ingestion of the  ground  water, to
area residents living in the vicinity of the Landfill.

A residential well  sampling/analyses  survey conducted by the New
York State Department of Health on homes along Pratt Road, within
close  proximity  to the  Landfill,  have revealed  the presence of
1,1,1-trichloroethane ("TCA")  at 6 parts per billion  ("ppb")  and
chloroform at 2 ppb in the potable water supply.   These levels are
below the federal Maximum Contaminant Level ("MCL") for TCA (200
ppb) and  the  proposed MCL  of for chloroform  (100 ppb) .   The New
York State MCL for TCA,  a principal organic contaminant,  is  5 ppb,
and the MCL for trihalomethanes (chloroform) is  100 ppb.   EPA's
Conceptual Groundwater Model, developed from accumulated RI data,
concludes that  the level of  Site  contaminants will continue to
increase in the residential  wells should the source, the  Landfill,
remain  unremediated.    No  contamination was  found   at the wells
sampled on Kelsey Road.

On  March 31,  1993,  EPA signed  a  Record  of  Decision  ("ROD")
selecting  an  interim  remedy  for  the  Site which consists  of
extending the  local municipal water  supply line to  potentially
impacted residences in the vicinity of the  Landfill.  On  September
21, 1993, EPA issued a Unilateral Administrative Order  to the PRPs
directing them to implement this remedy.  The waterline  is current-
ly being designed,  and  the  construction is scheduled to begin in
May of 1995.

On  July  31,   1990,  the following   six  PRPs  entered  into  an
administrative order  on consent  with EPA,  agreeing to perform a
removal of  surface and  semi-buried  drums  from the Site:  Unisys
Corporation, GTE-Sylvania, Eaton Corporation, R. E. Chapin Manufac-
turing Works, Inc., the Town of Batavia, and the City  of Batavia.
In the  Summer of 1991,   Blasland  &  Bouck  Engineers,  P.C., under
contract with these six  PRPs, removed 632 drums from  the surface at
the Site which amounted  to 35.3 tons of  contaminated solid wastes,
1,700 gallons of  decontamination water, 27.1 tons of  crushed drums,
and 55 gallons of cyanide-bearing oils.

HIGHLIGHTS OF COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION

The RI report,  the Feasibility  Study report, and the Proposed Plan
for the Site were released to the public for comment on  August 8,
1994.   These  documents  were made available to the  public at two
local information repositories maintained at the Richmond Library

-------
and Town of Batavia  Town  Hall,  in the Town of Batavia, New York.
A third repository was located at the EPA Region II Office in New
York City.   The notice of availability  for the above-referenced
documents was  published in the  Batavia  Daily News on August 8,
1994.  The 30-day public comment period,  originally from August 8,
1994 to September 7,  1994, was extended by an additional sixty days
to November 7,  1994, in response to  two written requests,  dated
August 25,  1994 and September 30, 1994, respectively, from the City
of Batavia.

On August 18, 1994,  EPA conducted a public meeting at the Batavia
High School, in Batavia, New  York.  The purpose of the meeting was
to  inform  local officials  and  interested  citizens  about  the
Superfund process, to present EPA's Proposed Plan for the remedial
action  at  the Site,  and  to  respond  to  any questions  from  area
residents and other attendees.  The comments received at the public
meeting generally pertained to  the status of the municipal water
supply remedy mandated by the March  1993 ROD,  and questions  were
raised on the potential of site-contaminants reaching the Village
of Oakfield Wells, a municipal water supply wellfield located 3/4
of a  mile to  the north from the Landfill.   Representatives on
behalf  of  the Village of Oakfield  requested that EPA develop a
contingency  plan  for  implementation in  the  event  that  Site
contaminants migrate and impact these wells.

Responses  to  the  comments  received . at   the public meeting  and
written comments received during the public comment  period  are
included in the attached Responsiveness Summary (see Appendix V).

SCOPE AND ROLE OF RESPONSE ACTION

The primary objectives of  this action are to control the source of
contamination at the Site  and to reduce and  minimize the migration
of contaminants into Site  media,  thereby  minimizing any health and
environmental impacts.

In addition to  the environmental impacts measured and documented
concerning  traditional  site  media  (e.g.,  ground water,  surface
water, sediment, etc.),  the RI  identified sensitive wetland areas
in and  around  portions  of the Site.   These water bodies receive
drainage from  the Landfill.    As stated above,  the  Landfill is
bordered on  the north and east by  the  Galloway Swamp.   The FS
projected, for cost estimation purposes,  that approximately 25,000
cubic yards of wetlands sediment may have to be excavated.   This
projection  was  based on  NYSDEC  sediment  criteria.    However,
additional  fieldwork  is  planned   to   complete  an  ecological
assessment at the Site.  The results  of this pre-design ecological
assessment may indicate that the area to be remediated is smaller
or that no  remediation  of  the  wetlands  is  appropriate.    The
ecological  assessment will  also be  used  to  avoid or  mitigate
potential impacts that the Landfill capping portion of the selected
remedy  may  have  on  fish,   wildlife and   their  habitats,   and

-------
especially the wetlands.  The remedial design will be guided by the
results  of  this ecological  assessment so  that  sediment  cleanup
goals and implementation  of the remedy will be protective  of fish
and wildlife. NYSDEC's  technical screening guidance for evaluating
sediment contamination at hazardous waste sites will be considered
as cleanup goals.

SUMMARY OF SITE CHARACTERISTICS

The RI has  confirmed the release  of  hazardous  substances to the
soil, sediment,  and  groundwater at the Site as  a result of past
hazardous waste disposal activities.  Generally,  the past disposal
of wastes at the Site (see Figure  2) seems to have been haphazard.
The  following disposal  areas  have been  identified at  the Site
through  the  RI process:  (a)  drummed  wastes  were  buried  in the
southern area of the  Landfill (the "buried drum area");  (b)  chromi-
um and magnesium sludges were disposed into a waste pit area in the
southeast corner of  the Landfill  (the  "waste  pit area");  (c)
magnesium fines were buried generally  in the north-central  area of
the Landfill  (the "magnesium fines area"); and (d)  drums and some
sediment were removed  from the northern region  of the Landfill
during the  1991 drum removal action  by the PRPs  (drum area R) ,
however,  some contaminated soil may still remain.

Data collected during the RI have confirmed the following regarding
the various media and areas of interest:

1.  Groundwater

Sampling and  chemical analyses  reveal releases  of total chromium
(181  ppb) ,  arsenic  (251 ppb) ,   lead   (433  ppb) ,  TCA  (110 ppb) ,
toluene (1,900 ppb),  and methylene chloride (181  ppb) to the ground
water at the Site.  The  levels of contaminants in the groundwater
(see Tables  4 and 5 in Appendix II) can present both  a carcinogenic
and a noncarcinogenic risk to future consumers.

2.  Soil, Sediments and Surface Water

The contamination to the soil is present but very irregular.  This
is attributed primarily to the generally haphazard  nature  of past
disposal practices at the 35-acre  Landfill.  Sampling and chemical
analyses results have shown, among many other things, the presence
of  total chromium   (320,000  ppb),  arsenic  (83,800 ppb),  lead
(359,000 ppb), TCA (380 ppb),  methylene chloride (1,100 ppb), and
toluene (2,000 ppb)  in the soil  and sediment in the  wetland areas.
Analytical  results   from  the  Buried  Drum  Area  in  the southern
portion of the  Landfill  (see Figure  2)  revealed the presence of
both organic and inorganic hazardous chemical constituents in the
sediment.   In  this   locality,  toluene was  the  most  frequently
detected chemical constituent  at 5,100,000 ppb.   Other volatile
organic constituents  ("VOCs"),  which were all detected at
concentrations  exceeding 10,000 ppb  include acetone,  xylene and
ethylbenzene.

-------
Chromium, copper,  and  lead were  detected  in all sediment samples
taken  in and around the  Landfill during the  RI.   Lead,  with a
maximum  detected  concentration  of 2000  milligram per  kilogram
("mg/kg"),  or  2,000,000 ppb within the sediment,  exceeded EPA's
screening level for residential soils of 400 mg/kg.

The Waste Pit Area sediment  (see  Figure 2) exhibited low levels of
VOCs.  Detected  contaminants  included methylene chloride,  carbon
disulfide, phenol. Several inorganic compounds frequently detected
within the  Waste  Pit  Area included  aluminum,  arsenic,  barium,
chromium, lead',  and  magnesium.    Inorganic  compounds  with  highly
elevated  concentrations in this  area include  aluminum  (248,000
mg/kg), chromium  (313,000 mg/kg)  and magnesium-  (410,000 mg/kg).

The Magnesium Fines Area (see  Figure 2) exhibited very high levels
of magnesium  (195,000  mg/kg)  and  barium  (4,650  mg/kg)  within the
sediment.  Arsenic (114 mg/kg) was also detected within this area.
The Magnesium Fines Area is estimated  to be approximately 7 acres.

The surface waters at the  Site also exhibited persistent levels of
heavy metal and volatile organic contamination.  A total of eight
different VOCs were  detected  in  surface water  samples collected
during the  RI.   The  most  frequently detected VOCs  within  the
surface waters were  chloroethane  and  methylene  chloride,  both of
which exceed the New York State ground water standards.

A total  of  21 inorganic  chemical constituents were  detected in
every surface water sample.  Aluminum, barium, magnesium, and iron
where among the metals  detected within  this medium.  Concentrations
of  several   inorganics greatly  exceeded  current  ambient  water
quality criteria  ("AWQC") .

3.  EPA Monitors Northernmost Wells at the Site

In response to concerns from  the citizens, EPA  is  periodically
monitoring  the northernmost bedrock wells at the Site.  Sampling
results from November 1992 and February 1994  have confirmed that no
contaminant  plumes are migrating  from  the  Landfill  towards  the
Village of Oakfield wells located 3/4  of a mile to the north.

Site Hydrology

A preliminary conceptual model, based  upon EPA's interpretation of
the  RI  data gathered  by  GZA GeoEnvironmental  of New York,  was
developed by EPA in August 1991.   The  following  statements in this
section summarize the hydrogeology of  the Site:

•    The  upper  10  feet  of  bedrock   is  highly  fractured,  and
     hydraulic conductivity  in the bedrock  ranged from 1  to 70
     feet/day.    In  the northern  portion of  the Landfill,  the
     Onondaga  limestone is  overlain  by a thick glaciolacustrine
     sequence of silt and clay, but this  sequence is not continuous

-------
across  the  Site.   In other  portions  of the  Landfill,  the
bedrock  is  overlain  by  the water  bearing lower  soil unit
characterized by fine sands, silts,  and gravels.  The bedrock
is  likely  to  be  highly   permeable   and  is  hydraulically
connected to  the unconsolidated overburden.   The hydraulic
connection between bedrock  and overburden is evidenced by the
discontinuity of the low permeability lenses and the fact that
Site  related   contaminants  have  been   detected  in  all
hydrogeologic units on-site.

The  geometry  of the  low   permeability  layer  is not  well
understood,  especially in the central portion of the Landfill
where it does  not appear to be present based on  well logs (see
Figure 3).  Discontinuous layers of  silt  and clay,  varying in
thickness between 1 and 30  feet, are present in the northern
and  southern  portions  of  the  Landfill.    Because  of  the
discontinuity of the low permeability lenses, the upper soil
zones, the low soils zone,  and the lower  (bedrock)  soils zone
should  be considered  as  one heterogeneous  aquifer.    The
interconnectedness  of the  aquifer  is  demonstrated  by  the
detection of Site contaminants in samples from wells screened
at all depths.

During the RI,  data on vertical hydraulic gradients have been
amassed  from  well  clusters  with  screens  in the shallow,
intermediate,  and  deep  portions of  the  aquifer.   Review .of
water  level  elevation  data indicates that  in  the  western
portion of the Landfill, vertical gradients are predominantly
downward.  In the eastern portion of the Landfill, they vary
and may be  downward  to horizontal  to slightly  upward,  as
evidenced by  the  presence  of water  bodies  (ponds)  in  and
around the Landfill.  The overburden  ground water bearing zone
is also hydraulically connected with the surface water bodies
surrounding the Landfill.

Based on the data provided  for wells screened at or very near
the water table,  shallow ground water flow is generally to the
south in the southern portion  of the  Landfill, to the  east-
northeast in  the southern  central portion of  the Landfill,
toward the east-southeast in the northern central portion of
the Landfill.   EPA estimates that flow  is to the north in the
northern part  of the Landfill, towards the Galloway Swamp.

Based upon vertical gradients observed in the well clusters,
there is a strong component of downward ground water  flow at
most locations in the Landfill.  Ground water flow is slightly
upward  on the east  side of the Landfill  and south of  the
adjacent  former municipal  landfill.    This observation  is
consistent  with  the detection of  VOCs  in  the  shallow,
intermediate,  and bedrock aquifers at the Landfill.  The fact
that VOCs were detected in  the bedrock wells on the  eastern
side of the Landfill  supports  the theory that contamination

-------
      is  moving downward  under  the Landfill  mound and  laterally
      (eastward) towards Galloway  Swamp.

SUMMARY OF SITE RISKS

Based  upon  the results of the RI,  specifically the ground water
data,  a  baseline risk  assessment was conducted  to estimate the
risks  associated  with  current and future site  conditions.   The
baseline  risk assessment estimates  the  human  health  risk which
could  result from the  contamination  at  the  Site  if no remedial
action were  taken.

Human Health Risk Assessment

To perform a Human Health Risk Assessment, the reasonable maximum
human exposure is evaluated.   A four-step  process  is then utilized
for  assessing site related human health  risks  for a reasonable
maximum exposure scenario:

     Hazard Identification— identifies the contaminants of concern
("COCs")  at  the  Site based on several factors  such as toxicity,
frequency of occurrence, and concentration.

     Exposure Assessment— estimates the magnitude of actual and/or
potential human  exposures,  the  frequency and  duration  of these
exposures, and the pathways  (e.g.,  ingesting contaminated well-
water) by which humans  are potentially exposed.

     Toxicity Assessment— determines the types of  adverse health
effects associated with chemical  exposures,  and the relationship
between  magnitude of   exposure  (dose)  and  severity  of  adverse
effects (response).

     Risk Characterization— summarizes and combines output of the
exposure and toxicity assessments to provide a  quantitative assess-
ment of site-related risks  (e.g.,  one-in-a-million excess cancer
risk).

The baseline risk assessment began with selecting contaminants of
concern  which would  be  representative  of   site-related  risks.
Results from the RI  sampling at  the  Site indicate  that  ground
water, soil,  surface waters, and sediments are contaminated with a
combination  of VOCs, base neutral acids,  and inorganic compounds.
As part of the RI,  air  quality monitoring was performed with field
instruments  during test pit  boring activities.    In general,  the
results of  the explosimeter  and  organic  vapor  testing revealed
explosivity  that  was  below  1 percent  of the  Lower Explosivity
Limit, and the organic vapors  measured at  the  Site during test pit
drilling activities exceeded background by less  than 0.5 parts per
million.   Therefore, no evidence  of significant air impacts have
been noted.

-------
The human  health risk assessment evaluated current and potential
future exposure  to  contaminants in the ground water, soil/waste,
surface  water,  sediments,   and leachate  seeps  (see  tables  in
Appendix  II) .     Ground  water  risks  were  evaluated  in a  risk
assessment conducted in 1992 by TRC,  an EPA  contractor,  to address
ground water quality in the  immediate vicinity  of the Landfill.
This  risk  assessment resulted  in  EPA  signing an interim action
Record of  Decision for the groundwater in 1993.  " TRC conducted
another risk assessment in  1994 that addressed contaminated soil,
surface water/leachate, and sediments.

On  the  basis   of  current   and  future  land  use  information,
residential  development  of  areas  adjacent to  the  Landfill  is
possible.  In addition, contaminated ground water at the Site may
reach residential areas to the south of the Landfill in the future.
The risk assessment evaluated exposures to residents and workers
who may  come  on the  Site.   Exposure pathways   included  in  the
overall quantitative risk assessment effort include:

    Ingestion of ground water;

    Ingestion of soil/waste  and sediment;  and,

    Dermal  contact with soil/waste and sediment.

Risks attributable to dermal contact  with  soil/waste and sediments
were  assessed   for  current  and  future  residents  and  future
excavation workers.    In  accordance with  current OSWER  and  EPA
Region II  guidance,  the quantitative  risk  assessment for dermal
contact was limited.  The high degree  of uncertainty in the input
parameters for this pathway forces us  to limit the quantification
of dermal risks to the following three  contaminant types: cadmium,
PCBs,  and dioxins.  Only cadmium was detected at the site and the
noncarcinogenic  risks  were  found to be below  an HI of 1.0.   In
addition risks  associated  with exposure to surface water  and liquid
leachate seeps were addressed qualitatively.

Results  of the  health risk  assessment reveal  that  significant
carcinogenic and noncarcinogenic risks would  exist in the future
should contaminants detected in the ground water  at the  Site reach
private drinking water supplies downgradient of the Landfill.  The
total carcinogenic  risk associated with the ingestion  of ground
water, 1.2 x 10'3, exceeds EPA's target risk range of 10^ to 10"*,
which means that approximately one in a thousand adults or children
could potentially develop cancer over  a  30-year exposure period
from ingesting ground water at the Site.

The two chemicals present  at the Site which drive  the carcinogenic
risk are:

-------
    vinyl chloride  (maximum concentration =  7.2 ppb in well MW
    01), and;

    arsenic  (maximum concentration = 167 ppb in well MW 04).

Both  vinyl  chloride and  arsenic  are  classified by  EPA  as human
Class A carcinogens. Vinyl chloride was detected in 3 of 21  ground
water  samples  for which results  were  available";  arsenic  was
detected  in  11 of  15  ground water  samples.    Thirteen  other
contaminants produced carcinogenic risks greater than 10"6 but less
than  10-4.

To assess the overall potential for noncarcinogenic effects posed
by one  or  more than one  contaminant,  EPA has  developed  a  hazard
index ("HI") .  This index  measures the  assumed exposures to several
chemicals simultaneously  at low concentrations which could  result
in an adverse health effect.   When the HI exceeds one (1.0) , there
may be concern  for potential noncarcinogenic effects.

The acute noncarcinogenic HI associated with on-site ground water
ingestion was 5.4  and  the chronic HI  was  26.8,  indicating the
potential for significant noncarcinogenic effects.

Because no toxicity value is currently available for lead, ground
water concentrations were compared with  the EPA action level for
drinking water.  For the  wells evaluated in this risk assessment,
the maximum concentration for lead in the ground water (433 ppb) ,
the upper 95 percent confidence limit concentration (196 ppb), and
the geometric mean concentration  (23 ppb) all exceed EPA's action
level of 15 ppb.

Significant carcinogenic  risks  (2 x 10"4)  are also associated with
the ingestion of site sediment.  The  risk  value  is driven by a
combination  of  poly-aromatic  hydrocarbons,  although  chrysene
produces  the  highest  risk  value  (1  x  10^).    The  highest
concentrations  of  chrysene and other  poly-aromatic hydrocarbons
were  detected  along  the  mid-western  side  of  the  Landfill.
Ingestion of  sediment resulted  in  a  noncarcinogenic  HI of  one
(1.0).  Sediment lead concentrations, with a maximum concentration
of 1220 mg/kg, exceeded EPA's screening level for residential soils
of 400 mg/kg.

Carcinogenic  risks  associated   with   incidental  ingestion  of
subsurface soils  during  future excavation at the  Waste  Pit Area
were within EPA's acceptable  risk  range.  .The total ingestion risk
was 5 x 10"6.   The noncarcinogenic HI of 6.0  exceeded 1.0.

Other risks  associated with  exposure  to contaminants in soils,
sediments,  surface  waters,   and  leachate  seeps  were  deemed
insignificant.
                                10

-------
Uncertainties

The procedures and inputs used to assess risks in this evaluation,
as  in all  such  assessments,  are subject to  a wide  variety of
uncertainties.    In  general,  the  main  sources  of  uncertainty
include:

      Degree of characterization  of contamination in all media;
      Process used to  select  COCs;
      Availability of  toxicity  data of certain COCs;
      Future land use;
      Exposure parameter values;  and,
      Availability of  sufficient  background data.

In  general,  the   risks   presented   herein   are   likely  to  be
conservative estimates of  true risks.   The ground water scenario
conservatively assumes  that contaminants detected  in  the ground
water under the Landfill will migrate  without any attenuation.  In
addition,  the  exposure  parameters  used  to  characterize  the
reasonable  maximum   exposure  in this  assessment  are  health
protective values.

REMEDIAL ACTION OBJECTIVES

Remedial action  objectives  are  specific  goals to  protect human
health  and  the  environment.    These  objectives  are  based  on
available information and standards such as applicable or relevant
and  appropriate  requirements  ("ARARs")  and  risk-based  levels
established in the risk assessment.  The primary  objectives of this
action are to control the source of contamination at the Landfill
and to reduce and minimize the migration of contaminants into Site
media, thereby minimizing any health and ecological impacts.

The following remedial action objectives were established for the
Site:

*     Preventing direct contact with Landfill contents;

*     Controlling surface water runoff and erosion;

*     Collecting and treating any Landfill leachate;

*     Controlling Landfill gas;

*     Preventing the infiltration  of contaminants into ground water;
      and

*     Remediating contaminated wetland areas, as appropriate.

DESCRIPTION OF REMEDIAL ALTERNATIVES

CERCLA mandates that a remedial action must be protective of human
health  and  the  environment,  be cost effective,  and  utilize

                               11

-------
permanent  solutions  and  alternative  treatment  technologies  or
resource recovery technologies to the maximum extent practicable.
It also establishes a preference for remedial actions which employ,
as a principal element,  treatment to permanently and significantly
reduce  the  volume,  toxicity,  or  mobility  of  the  hazardous
substances, pollutants,  and contaminants at a site. CERCLA further
specifies that a remedial action must attain a level or standard of
control of the hazardous substances, pollutants, an'd contaminants,
which at least attains ARARs under federal and state laws, unless
a waiver can be justified.   The FS Report evaluated in detail ten
remedial alternatives for addressing the contamination associated
with  the Site.   Estimates  for the  various construction  times
include only the time needed to construct or  implement the remedy.
It does not include any time required for the design of the remedy,
negotiations with the responsible parties,  or award of contracts,
all of which,  depending upon the selected remedy, may involve up to
two years.   Additionally,   the alternative costs  are  based  upon
researched  construction  costs for  the Western New  York/Niagara
area.  In accordance with  Section  121  of CERCLA,  EPA must review
any remedial action that results in hazardous substances remaining
at the  Site above health based  limits at  least  once  every  five
years to assure that the remedy selected continues  to be protective
of human health and  the environment.  All of the alternatives set
forth below will require  such a review every  five years.   The
remedial alternatives are:

Alternative l: No Action

The Superfund program requires, that the "No Action" alternative be
considered  as  a baseline  for  comparison of  other alternatives.
Under this Alternative, no clean-up or mitigation measures would be
taken at the Site,  and the  Landfill would  be left in its current
state.    An annual  ground  water  monitoring  program  utilizing
existing and proposed wells at the Site would be implemented to
monitor the potential migration of ground water.  Sediment sampling
(annually) would also be included with the ground water monitoring
program.  Ground water and  sediment samples would be collected for
30 years,  or until  it  is  determined  to be no longer  necessary
during the 5-year review process. Under the no-action alternative,
the potential for off-site  migration of contaminated ground water
would continue.

Alternative 2: Sediment Cover

This Alternative  (see Figure  4) includes  all the components  of
Alternative  l   (i.e.,  monitoring of  sediment  and ground  water
quality etc.,) plus  perimeter  fencing,  institutional  controls,  a

                               12

-------
soil  cover over  selected  areas  (such  as  drainage  ditches  and
portions of the surrounding wetlands) , the construction of drainage
swales and  retention  basins.   The soil cover in designated areas
would include  18  inches of clean fill  followed  by six inches of
seeded topsoil.

Alternative 3  -  Sediment Cover  and  In-situ Treatment of Buried
Drum Area and Waste Pit Area Soils

Alternative 3  includes in-situ stabilization of  the buried drum
area  (in  the southern  portion of the  Site)  and  waste pit area
soils, in addition to all the components of Alternative 2.

Capital Costs:  $3,887,218

Alternative 4:  Landfill Soil Cap

This Alternative  (see Figure  5)  includes all the components of
Alternative 2.  Contaminated wetland sediment, currently estimated
at  25,000  cubic  yards,  would be consolidated  on-site,  and  the
entire Landfill would  be covered with 12 inches of  low permeability
soil fill and six inches of  seeded topsoil.  The amount of wetland
sediment to be  excavated would be determined at the conclusion of
a pre-design ecological assessment.   In addition to the Landfill
cover, a Landfill gas  monitoring  system would be instituted,  and
additional groundwater monitoring  wells would be  installed to track
potential contaminant migration.

Alternative 5:  Sediment Cover, Excavation and Treatment of Buried
Drum Area and Waste Pit Area Soils

This Alternative is similar to Alternative 3  except that the buried
drum area  and waste pit  area  soils  would be excavated prior to
treatment  on-site.   Treatment  of the  buried  drum area  (in  the
southern portion of the Landfill) and waste pit area soils includes
low temperature thermal stripping to remove VOCs and base neutral
acids, followed by  cement-based  stabilization to immobilize  the
inorganic constituents  (metals/ionic  compounds).   A treatability

                                13

-------
study would be  performed  to  determine  both the optimum operating
conditions and reagents for the low temperature thermal stripping
and  waste  stabilization  processes,  respectively.    Following
treatment, the waste would be returned to its original location and
covered  with  one  foot of  soil fill  and  six  inches  of  seeded
topsoil.

Alternative 6  -   Sediment and  Waste Consolidation and New York
State Part 360 Landfill Cap

This Alternative contains the components  of Alternative 2  (i.e.,
monitoring, fencing, institutional controls, and the construction
of  drainage  swales  and retention  basins), and  in addition  it
requires the construction of a landfill capping system consistent
with the requirements of New  York State Regulations set  forth at 6
NYCRR Part 360 in an  effort to prevent or minimize the migration of
contaminants from.the Site.

Common  to all  of  the  following   three  sub-alternatives  under
Alternative 6 is the requirement that the buried drums containing
hazardous  substances  in  the  southern  area  of  the  Landfill
(estimated  in  number  at  approximately  150)  be  excavated  and
transported  off-site   for   treatment   and  disposal   prior   to
construction  of  the 6  NYCRR Part  360  landfill capping system.
Also, for  purposes  of  estimating  the cost of the various  sub-
alternatives,  it was  assumed based on NYSDEC  sediment/soil criteria
that as much as 25,000  cubic  yards of contaminated sediments would
be excavated from the wetlands for disposal under a landfill cap in
the southern area.  However, as stated above, one of the objectives
of the planned pre-design ecological assessment is to determine the
impact  of  the  Landfill on  the wetlands.   The  results of  the
ecological assessment may indicate that the area to be remediated
is  smaller, larger,  or that remediation  of the wetlands  is  not
appropriate.   Information obtained during the ecological assessment
will also be used  to avoid or mitigate  any impacts  that remedial
action may have on the fish,  wildlife,  and their habitats.

Alternative 6  also  includes  the  construction of  a passive  gas
venting system as  part of the Landfill  design  requirements.   For
purposes of this evaluation, it is  anticipated that any leachate
disposal would occur off-site.  However, the exact disposal option
would be determined  during  the remedial design, based  upon such
factors as technical practicability  of  leachate treatment  by  the
POTW and cost.   The following are the three  sub-alternatives  of
Alternative 6:

Alternative 6A -  Consolidation of Central Areas into Northern and

                                14

-------
Southern Areas with 6 NYCRR Part 360 Landfill Cap

This Alternative  (see Figure  6)  includes consolidating approxi-
mately  125,000  cubic  yards of soil from  the  central area of the
Landfill into the  northern and southern areas where two landfill
caps will be constructed in accordance with the requirements of 6
NYCRR Part 360.  A wetlands mitigation area would be constructed in
the central area of the Site to replace  the wetlands  that would be
destroyed by  capping the  northern area.   It  is  estimated that
approximately 4,500 gallons per day of leachate will be' generated
as a result.   Under  this  Alternative,  the northern area  of the
Landfill would be dewatered to facilitate the construction of the
landfill cap in that area.

Capital Cost:  $11,240,689
0 & M Cost:   $385,960/yr  (30 yrs)
Present Worth: $17,140,731
Construction Time: 2 years

Alternative 6B  -  Consolidation of Magnesium  Fines  Area  and Drum
Area R into Southern Area with 6 NYCRR Part 360 Cap

This Alternative includes removing the magnesium fines area and the
drum area R (estimated to contain approximately  50,000 cubic yards
of material) ,  located in the northern area of  the  Landfill, and
consolidating these wastes into the southern area of  the Landfill.
After consolidation, a landfill cap satisfying the requirements of
6 NYCRR Part  360  would be constructed  (see  Figure  7)  over the
southern area of the Landfill.  The northern area of the Landfill
would be graded, filled with topsoil,  and seeded for a vegetative
cover.   It is estimated that approximately 3,400  gallons per day of
leachate will to be generated under this Alternative.

Capital Cost:  $8,129,084
0 & M Costs:  $305,660/yr.  (30 yrs)
Present Worth $12,370,514
Construction Time: 2 years

Alternative 6C - Consolidation of  All  Northern  Waste and Central
Areas into the Southern Area with 6 NYCRR Part 360 Landfill Cap

Alternative 6C  is  similar  to Alternative  6B.   However,  this
Alternative includes excavating the central area of the Landfill as
well as the northern areas  of the Landfill (in total, estimated to
contain  approximately  250,000  cubic  yards  of  material)  and
consolidating these materials into the southern  area  of a Landfill
where a landfill cap  satisfying the requirements  of 6 NYCRR Part
360 would be  constructed.    A wetlands mitigation area  would be
constructed in the central  area of the Site to  replace the wetlands
that would be  destroyed by  excavating such an  extensive amount of

material  in the  northern  area.    Under  this  Alternative,  the

                                15

-------
northern area would be dewatered to facilitate excavation.

Capital Cost: $11,267,184
O & M Costs  : $305,660/yr (30 yrs)
Present Worth: $15,932,814
Construction Time : 2 years

Alternative 7 - Landfill Soil Cap  with Excavation and Treatment of
the Buried Drum Area Soils and In-Situ Stabilization of Waste Pit
Area Soils

Alternative 7 retains all the aspects of Alternative 4 in addition
to including the excavation and treatment of the buried drum area
soils and the in-situ  stabilization of  the waste  pit area soils.
Possible technologies  for the treatment of the buried  drum area
soils, which primarily contain volatile and semi-volatile organic
constituents, include low temperature thermal stripping or off-site
incineration.  A treatability study would be performed during the
remedial design phase to determine the optimal thermal treatment.
The in-situ  stabilization process for  the waste pit area  would
involve the in-place mixing of the wastes into a cement-like matrix
so as  to immobilize the heavy metal constituents  therein  (i.e.
chromium, magnesium, etc.).

Capital Cost: $13,104,958
O & M Costs: $139,260
Present Worth: $14,309,287
Construction Time 2 years

Alternative 8 - Sediment  and Waste Consolidation/ Landfill Cap with
the Excavation and Treatment of Buried Drum Area Soils and In-Situ
Stabilization of Waste Pit Area Soils.

This Alternative includes all the components of Alternative 6A in
addition to including the treatment technologies of Alternative 7.
Under this Alternative,  contaminated  soil and sediment  from the
central portion of the Landfill would be  excavated and consolidated
into the northern and southern areas and covered with two landfill
caps which  satisfy the  requirements  of 6  NYCRR  Part 360.   The
buried drum area in the  south would be excavated and treated, and
the waste pit area soils in  the south would be stabilized in-situ.

SUMMARY OF COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVES

In accordance with the NCP, a detailed analysis of each alternative
is required.  The detailed  analysis consists  of  an assessment of
the  individual  alternatives  against   each  of  nine  evaluation

                               16

-------
criteria  and a comparative  analysis focusing upon  the relative
performance  of each alternative against those criteria.

The  following  "threshold"   criteria must  be  satisfied by  any
alternative  in order to be eligible  for selection:


1.   Overall protection of human health and  the environment, which
     addresses whether  a  remedy provides adequate protection and
     describes how risks posed through each exposure pathway (based
     on a reasonable maximum exposure  scenario)  are eliminated,
     reduced,   or  controlled  through   treatment,   engineering
     controls, or institutional controls.

2.   Compliance with ARARs, which addresses whether or not a remedy
     would attain the applicable (legally enforceable) , or relevant
     and  appropriate federal and state environmental  statutes and
     requirements   (requirements   that  pertain   to  situations
     sufficiently similar to those encountered at  a Superfund site
     such that they  are  well  suited  to the Site) ,  or provide
     sufficient grounds for  invoking a waiver.

The following five  "primary  balancing"  criteria  are used to make
comparisons  and   to  identify  the  major  trade-offs  between
alternatives:

3.   Long-term effectiveness and  permanence,  which addresses the
     ability of a remedy to maintain reliable protection of human
     health  and the  environment  over time,  once cleanup goals of
     the  selected remedy  have been  met.    It also addresses the
     magnitude  and  effectiveness  of  the  measures  that may  be
     required  to  manage  the risk posed by  treatment residuals
     and/or untreated wastes.

4.   Reduction  of toxicity,  mobility,  or  volume  via treatment,
     which addresses the ability of a remedial technology to reduce
     the  toxicity,  mobility, or volume  of  hazardous substances,
     pollutants, or contaminants at  the Site.

5.   Short-term effectiveness, which addresses the period of time
     needed to achieve protection and any potential adverse impacts
     on human health and  the environment during the construction
     and  implementation periods,  until  cleanup goals are achieved.

6.   Implementability,  which   addresses    the    technical   and
     administrative  feasibility   of  a  remedy,   including  the
     availability of materials and services needed.

7.   Cost,   which  estimates  the   capital   and   operation  and
     maintenance costs, as well as the present-worth  costs.

The following "modifying"  criteria are  considered  after the formal

                                17

-------
public comment period on a proposed plan is complete:

8.   State acceptance, which considers whether, based on its review
     of  the  RI/FS and  the  proposed remedy,  the  State supports,
     opposes,  and/or has  identified any  reservations with  the
     preferred alternative.

9.   Community acceptance,  which considers the  public's  general
     response to  the alternatives  described in a proposed remedy
     and the RI/FS reports.  Factors of community acceptance to be
     discussed'include support,  reservation, and opposition by the
     community at large.

A comparative analysis of the remedial alternatives follows, based
upon the evaluation criteria noted above.

  o  Overall Protection of Human Health and the Environment

With the exception of Alternative 1, the No Action Alternative, all
of the  alternatives  provide some  degree of  protection of human
health and the environment.   However, Alternatives 6A, 6B, and 6C
and 8 provide the highest level  of protection  because they include
a more protective landfill cap consistent with the requirements of
the New  York State  landfill closure regulations set  forth  at  6
NYCRR Part 360, as well  as  providing some  level  of treatment for
various hot spot areas.  Of the remaining alternatives other than
Alternative 1 (Alternatives  2, 3, 4, 5 and 7),  Alternative  2 is the
least protective  because it does not include any  treatment,  nor
does it include any type of Landfill capping.

  o  Compliance with ARARs

There  are a number of  types  of  Applicable or  Relevant  and
Appropriate Requirements: action-specific,  chemical-specific, and
location-specific.    Action-specific  ARARs  are  technology  or
activity-based requirements or  limitations  related  to  various
activities.  Chemical-specific ARARs are usually numerical values
which establish the amount or concentrations of a chemical  that may
be found in,  or discharged to, the ambient environment.  Location-
specific ARARs are  restrictions placed on  the concentrations of
hazardous substances  or the participation  in certain activities
solely because of the location of the substances or activities.

The principal action-specific ARARs  for  the Site include  the New
York State landfill  closure  requirements  set forth at 6 NYCRR Part
360,  the State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System requirements
for the discharge of  treatment system effluent, federal Guidelines
and  Standards  for   effluent  discharge  to  a  POTW,  and  State
regulations for the  control  of surface water runoff.  Alternatives
6A, 6B,  6C and 8 will require the installation of a cap consistent
with the 6 NYCRR Part 360 requirements,  and thus comply with this
ARAR.   Alternatives  1,  2,  3,  4,  5, and   7  do  not  require  the

                                18

-------
installation of  a  landfill cap consistent with 6 NYCRR Part 360,
and  thus they do  not  comply with this  ARAR and  are therefore
inconsistent with this  requirement of the NCP.

Chemical specific ARARs at the Site include State and Federal MCLs.
None  of the  Alternatives will  immediately restore  the on-site
groundwater  to MCLs.   However,  the  Alternatives  are  ranked  in
accordance with how effective  each would be in preventing further
groundwater contamination  and  migration which relates to the type
of  cap  that  is  installed.    Alternatives 1  and  2 would  not
effectively reduce the likelihood of contaminant migration from the
Landfill and,  as such,  rank low in  attaining  chemical specific
ARARs.   Alternatives  3,  4,   5  and  7, although  treating on-site
wastes in various capacities,  rank as medium because of the absence
of the possibility of a  leachate  control system; also the absence
of a 6 NYCRR Part 360 landfill cap will not as effectively reduce
the infiltration of precipitation, and a greater potential exists
for the migration of Site contaminants to the surrounding environ-
ment.  Alternatives 6A, 6B, 6C and 8 include landfill caps consis-
tent with 6 NYCRR Part 360  and any necessary leachate controls, and
therefore they meet  this  criterion the best.   By constructing a
proper cap and collecting and treating leachate, the Landfill will
no longer  be acting as  a source of  contamination  to the ground
water and the  remaining contaminated  ground water will naturally
attenuate over time.

Principal  location' specific  ARARs,  with which  all alternatives
would have to satisfy,  include the Federal Protection of Wetlands
Executive  Order  11990,  New  York Code  of Rules  and Regulations
Wetlands Permit (6 NYCRR Part  663) , Fish and Wild Life Coordination
Act regulations  (40 CFR  6.302), the Protection of Floodplains (40
CFR 6, Appendix A)  and the Floodplain Disaster Act  of 1973.  Con-
struction of a 6 NYCRR  Part  360 landfill  cap would result in the
net loss of surrounding wetlands that would require mitigation; any
action taken at  the  Site would require  compliance with Executive
Order 11990 and 6 NYCRR Part 663.

   o Lonq-Term Effectiveness  and  Permanence

A landfill cap satisfying  the 6 NYCRR Part 360  requirements is a
reliable  remedial  measure  that,  when  properly  designed  and
installed,  is  highly  effective in the long term.   Provided that
they are properly maintained, Alternatives 6A,  6B,  6C and 8 would
rank  highest in this  category.   Direct  contact  with  landfill
contents would be eliminated, and leachate.generation and migration
would be significantly reduced, thus minimizing the potential for
continued surface water and sediment contamination.  Alternatives
1, 2,  3,  4, 5 and 7 would  rank low in  long-term effectiveness
primarily because  these Alternatives do  no not employ  a  proper
landfill cap, and thus would not effectively protect human health
or the environment in the  long term.


                                19

-------
 o   Reduction  in Toxicity. Mobility, or Volume

Alternative  8  would rank  the  highest in  reducing  the toxicity,
mobility and volume of wastes at the  Site because it involves both
treatment of "hot spots", which reduces toxicity and mobility, and
construction pf a  cap  consistent with 6  NYCRR Part  360,  which
limits  mobility.    Alternative  6B  and Alternative  6C would  be
effective in limiting mobility by the excavation of the magnesium
fines area and  drum area R for disposal under a  6 NYCRR Part 360
cap in the southern  area  of Landfill where the surface elevation is
high  and  significantly  above  the  water  table.    All  of  the
Alternative 6 remedies also include the off-site disposal of buried
drums,  which will reduce  the  toxicity,  mobility, and  volume  of
contaminants at the  Site.   Alternatives  3, 5,  and  7  include
treatment  of "hot spots"  and  therefore  reduce the  toxicity and
mobility of these "hot spots".   However, these alternatives do not
include provisions for the remaining  waste  at the Landfill, there-
fore they would not  rank as  high with respect to this criterion.
Alternatives 1,  2,  and  4  rank  the  lowest with respect  to this
criterion  because  they  include  no  treatment nor would  they  be
effective in limiting the mobility of the waste over time.

  o  Short-Term Effectiveness

The installation of a cap  or  soil cover in Alternatives 3,  4,  5,
6A, 6B,  6C, 7 or 8 would  not result in any short term impacts which
can not be readily mitigated and controlled.  There would, however,
be  an  increase in  traffic  flow  along  local  roads with  these
Alternatives.

Short-term risks  to workers would exist from fugitive emissions
during the excavation and treatment of on-site "hotspots", such as
the Magnesium Fines  Area,  Buried Drum Area,  and  Waste  Pit  Area.
However,  these  risks  could  be properly  mitigated through  the
implementation  of a  Site-specific  Health and Safety Plan for all
workers.

Alternatives 1 and 2 have the highest short-term effectiveness as
they would not require the movement of any waste and would take the
least amount of time to  implement.  Alternatives 3, 4 and 6A would
not rank as high with respect to this criterion primarily because
these alternatives involve comparatively limited excavation of on-
site wastes.  Alternatives 5, 6B, 6C, 7,  and 8 would rank low be-
cause of the length of construction time (2 years) and the greater
degree  of   excavation   of  Site  wastes   during   the  remedial
construction phase.

  o  Implementability

All  of  the  Alternatives are  implementable  from an  engineering
perspective.   Each  Alternative utilizes  commercially  available
products, technologies,   and services.

                                20

-------
The  No Action  Alternative and  Alternative  2 would  not present
implementation difficulties and would thus rank the highest in this
category.    Alternatives  3,   4,  5  and  7  do  not  involve  the
installation of  6  NYCRR Part  360 landfill capping system and, as
such,  would not  rank  as  high with  respect to  this criterion.
Alternatives 6A, 6B, 6C and 8,  which  involve  the  construction of a
6 NYCRR  Part 360  capping  system,  would rank the  lowest in this
category.

Alternatives 6A  and 8,  which  would  require the dewatering of the
nearby surface water bodies during remedial construction, are the
most difficult  Alternatives to implement because  a cap would be
constructed in the northern area of the Site where  the groundwater
table is high.

  o  Cost

In comparing estimates  of  present worth costs,  Alternatives 1,  2
and 3 represent the lowest  projected  costs at  $759,946, $2,525,390
and $4,737,390, respectively.  Alternatives 4 and  5 are projected
at $5,095,476 and $12,171,030,  respectively.   Alternatives  6A, 6B,
6C, 7 and 8 represent the highest projected costs  at $17,140,731,
$12,370,514,  $15,932,814,   $14,309,287  and  $26,343,247,  respec-
tively.

o     State Acceptance

The State  of New  York  concurs with the remedy  selected in this
Record of Decision.

o     Community Acceptance

As state above,  EPA conducted a public  meeting at the Batavia High
School in Batavia  on August 18, 1994.  The purpose of the meeting
was to inform  local officials and interested citizens  about the
Superfund process, to present EPA's Proposed  Plan for the remedial
action at  the Site,  and to respond  to any  questions  from area
residents and other attendees.  The comments received at the public
meeting generally  pertained to the  status  of the municipal water
supply remedy mandated  by  the  March  1993  ROD, and questions were
raised on the potential of site-contaminants reaching the Village
of Oakfield Wells,  a municipal water supply wellfield located 3/4
of a  mile to the north from  the Landfill.   Representatives on
behalf of  the  Village  of  Oakfield  requested that  EPA  develop  a
contingency  plan  for  implementation  in  the   event  that  Site
contaminants migrate and impact these wells.

Responses  to the  comments received  at the  public  meeting  and
written comments  received during the  public comment period are
included in the attached Responsiveness Summary  (see Appendix V).

SELECTED REMEDY

                                21

-------
Based upon the results of the RI  and FS Reports, and after careful
consideration of the alternatives in the  FS,  EPA and NYSDEC select
Alternative 6B (Consolidation of Magnesium Fines Area and Drum Area
R into the Southern Area with  6 NYCRR Part 360 Landfill Cap) as the
preferred remedy for the Site.  Specifically, the selected remedy
includes the following:

1)  Excavation  of  contaminated  soil  from drum area  R,  and  the
magnesium  fines  area  (estimated  to  be  approximately 7-acres in
area) in the northern  portion of the  Landfill,  and consolidating
these materials under  a  landfill  cap  in  the southern  area of the
Landfill.   Moving the  wastes   from  the  northern area  of  the
Landfill, where the ground water  is shallow,  to the higher terrain
of the southern area will  also help to minimize the migration of
hazardous  constituents  to  the  ground  water  and  surrounding
wetlands.

2)   Subsequent grading  of  the  northern  area  of  the  Landfill,
filling  it  with  clean topsoil,   and  seeding it for a  vegetative
cover.

3)   Excavation of the  drums of hazardous substances  from  the
southern area of  the Landfill,  which are  estimated in  number to
include approximately  150  drums,  and  the transportation of these
materials off-site for treatment and disposal.

4)  Capping the southern region  of the Landfill with  a  NYS Solid
Waste Standard Cap designed and constructed in accordance with the
substantive  requirements  of 6   NYCRR   Part 360-2.13(q),  which
includes a  minimum of 18  inches  of  compacted clay liner  with a
post-compacted maximum remolded coefficient of permeability of 10"7
cm/sec throughout  its  thickness  (a minimum thickness  of  40  mil
geomembrane),  a 24 inch  barrier  protection  layer of soil,  and 6
inches of  topsoil  suitable .to maintain  vegetative  growth,  or an
equivalent design  as permitted pursuant to the regulations  (6 NYCRR
Part 360-2.13(w)).  Grading of the Landfill will be based upon the
final capping configuration determined during the remedial design
phase.

5)  An explosive gas survey will  be performed to determine the need
for  constructing  a passive gas  venting  layer  or  trench system
underlying  the  low permeability  cap  material.   The gas  venting
system would be located beneath impermeable clay so as to increase
its effectiveness  in controlling horizontal gas migration.

6)   Construction  of a leachate  collection  system.  The leachate
collection system  will  be designed consistent with the requirements
of 6 NYCRR Part  360 to  provide a physical barrier to the  migration
of leachate from the Landfill, with appropriate pumping or other
forms of leachate  collection.  It has been estimated that approxim-
ately 3,400 gallons per day of landfill leachate may be  generated


                               22

-------
and collected for transportation and eventual off-site disposal.

7)   Performance of a pre-design ecological assessment to define
impacts of the Landfill  and the proposed cap on fish, wildlife, and
associated habitats  (especially wetlands).  This information will
be used to determine whether any wetland excavation is  advisable to
best protect fish and wildlife, and if the assessment is determined
to be  necessary, the information  will be  used  to determine the
extent of appropriate action.   Any  sediments excavated as a result
of ecological  considerations  will be  placed under the  cap.   In
constructing the cap, a portion  of the wetlands may be impacted.
The  ecological  assessment  will  also  be used  to design  and to
construct  the  remedy in  such a way  as to minimize  any adverse
impacts to the wetlands caused by the remedy.  The  selected remedy
also requires that any damage  to wetlands or wetlands function will
be mitigated.

8)   EPA  will  recommend  to  local  agencies  that institutional
controls be undertaken  to ensure that  future land  use at the Site
is restricted so as to  preclude certain uses of the Site, such as
restricting certain types of access to the Landfill  and eliminating
groundwater use  for human consumption  at the Site.

9)  Implementation  of  long-term  operation and maintenance of the
Landfill  cap systems,  including  providing for  inspections  and
repairs.

10)  An evaluation of Site conditions no less than  each five years
to determine  if the selected alternative  is  protective  of human
health and the environment.

EPA believes that the  selected remedy provides  the  best balance
among  the alternatives considered according  to  the evaluation
criteria.   Alternative  6B will be highly protective of both human
health and the environment and will comply with ARARs.  The remedy
is  cost  effective and will  permanently  reduce  the  toxicity,
mobility,   and  volume  of  contaminants by  reducing  infiltration
through the landfilled wastes  and  address  any  leachate.    In
addition,  it involves treating the hazardous substances excavated
from the buried  drum area.

STATUTORY DETERMINATIONS

As previously noted, CERCLA mandates that a remedial action must be
protective of human health and the environment,  cost effective, and
utilize permanent solutions and alternative  treatment technologies
or  resource   recovery  technologies   to  the  maximum  extent
practicable.   CERCLA  also establishes  a  preference  for  remedial
actions which  employ  treatment to permanently  and significantly
reduce  the  volume,  toxicity,  or  mobility  of  the  hazardous
substances, pollutants,  or contaminants at a site.  CERCLA further
specifies that a remedial  action must  attain a degree of cleanup

                               23

-------
that satisfies ARARs under Federal and  state laws, unless a waiver
can be justified.

For  the reasons  discussed below,  EPA has  determined that  the
selected remedy meets the requirements of CERCLA.

Protection of Human Health and the Environment

The  selected  remedy  is  protective   of  human  health  and  the
environment.   Contact with landfilled wastes will  be eliminated
through capping,  any landfill gases  will be controlled  through
venting, and potential contaminant migration through surface water
and ground water to the surrounding environment will be effectively
addressed by the collection and treatment of leachate.

Compliance with ARARs

The selected remedy complies with all  ARARs  identified.   Action-
specific ARARs  for  the selected  remedy include  6 NYCRR Part  360
requirements, federal requirements for effluent discharge to a POTW
(40 CFR Part 403),  state regulations for  the  control  of  surface-
water runoff, federal and  state air ARARs  (40 CFR  50  and  6 NYCRR
Part 373,  respectively).   Landfill closure will  also  comply with
all provisions  of RCRA hazardous waste landfill closure regulations
which are  relevant and appropriate to the Site.  Location-specific
ARARs for  the  selected  remedy include Section  404 of the  Clean
Water Act,  as  amended,  New York  Code of Rules and  Regulations
Wetlands Permit  (6  NYCRR Part 663),  the  Coastal Zone Management
Act, the  Protection of  Floodplains (40  CFR 6,   Appendix  A) ,  the
Floodplain Disaster Act  of  1973,  Fish  and Wild  Life Coordination
Act, and the Farmland Protection Policy Act.  While construction of
a landfill satisfying the substantive requirements of 6 NYCRR Part
360 will result in the net loss of  surrounding wetlands, any action
taken at the Site will include mitigating these effects as required
by Executive Order 11990 and the regulations set forth in  6 NYCRR
Part 663.

Cost-Effectiveness

The  selected  remedy  is  cost effective  because  it  has  been
demonstrated to provide the best overall effectiveness proportional
to its cost.

Utilization  of  Permanent  Solutions   and  Alternative  Treatment
Technologies to the Maximum Extent Practicable

The  selected remedy utilizes  permanent solutions  and  treatment
technologies to the  maximum  extent practicable.   The  selected
remedy  provides  the  best  balance   of   trade-offs   among  the
alternatives with respect to the evaluation criteria.

Preference for Treatment as a Principal Element

                               24

-------
The  selected remedy  does satisfy  the statutory  preference  for
remedies that use  treatment  to reduce the toxicity,  mobility, or
volume of the hazardous substances,  pollutants, or  contaminants at
a site.   Buried on-site drums will be excavated  and removed for
off-site treatment and disposal.

Because this remedy will result in hazardous substances remaining
on-site above health-based levels,  a review of the  remedial action
will  be  conducted  no  less  than each   five  years  after  the
commencement  of the  remedial  action   to  ensure  that  the  remedy
continues to provide  adequate  protection  to human health and the
environment.

DOCUMENTATION OF SIGNIFICANT CHANGES

There are  no significant changes  from the preferred alternative
presented in the Proposed Plan.

Dear Ms. Callahan:

      Re:   Batavia Landfill Site, Town of Batavia, Genesee County
            New York, Site No. 9-19-001

      The New York State Department of  Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) and the
New York  State Department  of Health (NYSDOH) have reviewed the draft Record of
Decision (ROD) for Operable Unit No. 1 (OU1), the landfill closure and final ROD for the
Batavia. Landfill site.   Alternative 6B is selected  by the ROD as the preferred remedial
action.                                 .•••••

      Alternative 6B includes a 6 NYCRR Part 360 cap, gas venting, leachate collection,
removal of buried drums from in the central portion and consolidation of the northern area
under the cap of .the southern area.  Mitigation of wetland areas will be included dependent
on the final design of the landfill cap and the final approved Ecological Assessment Report.
Alternative 6B was identified by USEPA as being protective of human health and the
environment, complies with Applicable or Relevant  and Appropriate requirements (ARARs)
and Standards,  Criteria and  Guidance (SCGs) and  is the  best proposal  for reducing
contamination in the groundwater.

      The NYSDEC and NYSDOH concur with this ROD.

I.  RESPONSIVENESS SUMMARY OVERVIEW

This Responsiveness Summary provides a summary of citizen's
comments and concerns and the responses by the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency  ("EPA") to those comments regarding the
Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study  ("RI/FS") Reports and
Proposed Plan for the Batavia Landfill Superfund Site (the
"Site").  All comments summarized in this document have been
considered in EPA's final decision for selection of a remedial
alternative for the Site.

EPA initially published notice of a public comment period from
August 8, 1994 through September 7, 1994 to provide interested
parties with the opportunity to comment on the RI/FS and Proposed
Plan for the Site.  The public comment period, originally thirty
days, was extended an additional sixty days after EPA received a
request for such an extension.  A public meeting was held to
discuss the remedial alternatives described in the FS and to
present EPA's preferred remedial alternative for the remediation
of the Site.  The meeting was held at the Batavia High School, in
Batavia, New York on August 18, 1994 at 7:00 p.m.
At the time of the public comment period, EPA published its
preferred alternative for the Site, specifically the excavation
of contaminated sediment and soils from the northern portion of
the Batavia landfill (the "Landfill") for consolidation in the
southern portion of the Landfill under a landfill cap to be
designed and constructed pursuant to New York State Part 360
regulations, including a leachate collection system and
provisions for off-site leachate treatment.  The preferred
alternative also included the removal of all buried drums found
at the Site during remedial construction for off-site treatment
and disposal.

During the public meeting, the local community reaction to the
preferred alternative was, for the most part, favorable.
However, there was a general concern on the status of the
waterline construction, which was mandated by a March 1993 Record
of Decision.  Also, representatives from the Village of Oakfield
expressed concern that contamination from the Landfill,
irrespective of which alternative would be chosen, could impact
the Village of Oakfield Wells which are located approximately 3/4
of mile away from the Landfill.  On this accord, the Village of
Oakfield requested that EPA develop a 'contingency* plan which
could be immediately implemented in the event that contamination
is detected in the northernmost bedrock wells at the Landfill.

Prior to proposing a remedial alternative, EPA screened the
alternatives in the FS, giving consideration to the first eight
of the following nine key criteria as set forth in the National
Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan ("NCP"):

-------
Threshold Criteria, which must be satisfied, which include:

•  overall protection of human health and the environment; and
•  compliance with Federal, State, and local environmental and
   health laws.

Balancing Criteria, which include:

   long-term effectiveness;
   short-term effectiveness;
   reduction of mobility, toxicity, or volume;
   ability to implement; and
   cost

Modifying Criteria, which include:

•  State acceptance; and
•  community acceptance.

Since the close of the public comment period, EPA has weighed
community acceptance of the proposed remedy prior to reaching the
final decision regarding the selected remedy for the Site.  The
selected remedy provides the best balance of trade-offs from
among the alternatives with respect to the nine criteria that EPA
must use for evaluation.

II.  BACKGROUND ON COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT AND CONCERNS

EPA's community relations efforts included a Community Relations
Plan, which was formulated in May 1985 and included an outline of
community concerns, required and suggested community relations
activities, and provided a comprehensive list of federal, state,
and local contacts.  Site information repositories were
established, one located at EPA's Region II office in New York
City and others located at the Richmond Library and the Batavia
Town Hall in the Town of Batavia, New York.

To obtain public input on the RI/FS and the proposed remedy, a
public comment period was established from August 8,  1994 to
September 7, 1994.  A public notice appeared in the August 8,
1994 Batavia Daily News, and a public meeting was held on August
18, 1994.  A representative of the City of Batavia requested
extensions of the public comment period on two occasions to allow
adequate time for the City, as well as other interested parties,
to comment on EPA's Proposed Plan.  EPA granted two thirty day
extensions.  A second public notice appeared in the Batavia Daily
News on August 31, 1994, where EPA announced the extension of the
public comment period.

Approximately 25 people attended the meeting.  The audience
consisted of local businessmen, residents, and state and local
government officials.  A summary of the questions posed during
the meeting is included in the following section.

-------
III.  COMPREHENSIVE SUMMARY OF COMMENTS AND RESPONSES

Public comments on the Proposed Plan submitted between August 8,
1994 and November 7, 1994 are summarized and addressed below.
Section A summarizes those comments received at the public
meeting held on August 18, 1994.  Section B summarizes the
written comments received during the public comment period.

     A. Comments Received at Public Meeting

Village of Oakfield:

Representatives from the Village of Oakfield wanted to know why
the municipal water line project (selected in the March 1993
Record of Decision) included supplying municipal water to Batavia
residences as far as a mile away from the Site while no
provisions were being made for the Village of Oakfield where the
municipal wells are only 3/4 of mile away from the Landfill.  The
representatives also requested that EPA develop a contingency
plan that could be activated if the northernmost monitoring wells
at the Landfill detect contaminant plumes possibly migrating
toward the Village of Oakfield Wells.

EPA Response:

The March 1993 Record of Decision requires that the municipal
waterline be extended to include certain residences in the
vicinity of the Landfill.  This action was required by EPA
primarily because remedial investigation studies have revealed
that these nearby residents, who rely solely on the local ground
water for consumptive and domestic needs, were at risk because of
the potential threat posed by the contamination at the Site.
Furthermore, groundwater samples collected by the New York State
Department of Health ("NYSDOH") in 1991 and 1992 confirmed the
presence of trace amounts of Site contaminants in a few
residential wells adjacent to the Site, particularly in private
wells to the south on Pratt Road.  A portion of the municipal
waterline extension in the Town of Batavia is primarily a civil
project independently initiated by the Town and is not required
by the Record of Decision ("ROD") issued in 1993.

EPA maintains that the Village of Oakfield Wells, located 3/4 of
a mile from the Site, are not threatened by the migration of
contamination from the Landfill.  EPA has periodically monitored
the northernmost project wells at the Site.  Sampling results
from November 1992 and February 1994 have confirmed that no
contamination is migrating from the Landfill in the direction of
the Village of Oakfield Wells.  In addition, because of the
immensity of the Galloway Swamp, which lies between the Site and
the Village of Oakfield Wells, dilution and dispersal factors
render the possibility of a contaminant plume ever reaching these
wells highly unlikely.

-------
However, EPA will continue groundwater monitoring activities
under the final Site remedy, as mandated by this Record of
Decision, and EPA will, take appropriate measures to protect the
Village of Oakfield Wells should they become at risk.

B.   SUMMARY OF EPA'S RESPONSES TO WRITTEN COMMENTS

I.   Comments from the City of Batavia, dated November 3. 1994

COMMENT 1.

The City of Batavia Commented that the cost of leachate
treatment/disposal under the proposed remedy may be high on
account of the "derived from" rule (under the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act, or "RCRA").

EPA Response:

It is the position of EPA that unless there is documentation of
the disposal at the Landfill of hazardous wastes which are
regulated under the RCRA, the leachate at the Site will not fall
within the "derived from" rule.  Any leachate which is collected
should be disposed of based on their waste characteristic, in
accordance with RCRA and/or the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended
("CERCLA").

COMMENT 2:

Barton & Loguidice, P.C., a contractor for the City of Batavia,
recollects EPA asserting/ at the August 18, 1994 public meeting,
the possibility of examining the use of a system of cutoff
(slurry) vails at the Landfill, reaching slightly into the
groundwater table but not to the underlying till below, as part
of the Site remedy.  The comment further states that removing
leachate from the inside of this barrier will draw a constant
recharge from the groundwater outside the barrier, thus resulting
in groundwater remediation which is not required at the Site by
either Federal or State Policy.

EPA Response:

A cutoff wall is not part of the selected remedy.  A properly
constructed landfill cap, in conjunction with a leachate
collection system, are cumulatively sufficient containment
technologies in abating the migration of hazardous substances at
the Site.  A properly designed leachate collection system will
not collect "clean" groundwater.  The details of a leachate
collection system will be determined during the design phase of
the project.

-------
COMMENT 3.

The Town reiterated the concerns residents expressed about the
potential impact the Site could have on the Village of Oakfield
municipal water supply wells, 3/4 of mile to the north of the
Site.  The comment recommends an array of technological options
that could abate the potential flow of contaminants away from the
Landfill in the direction of the Village of Oakfield Wells.

EPA Response:

EPA's position is that the Village of Oakfield Wells are not
threatened by the Landfill.  EPA feels that the same would be
true even if the Landfill is left unremediated.  The groundwater
flow at the Landfill has a northern gradient in the north of the
Site, but natural groundwater processes such as dilution and
adsorption, coupled with the fact that most of the shallow
groundwater discharges into the immense Galloway Swamp, act as an
hydraulic barrier.  Based on the data collected at the Site EPA
does not anticipate contaminants impacting the Village of
Oakfield Wells.  In addition, EPA's last testing of groundwater
samples from the northernmost bedrock wells at the Site, in
February 1994, reveals no contaminant plumes migrating towards
the Village of Oakfield wells.

EPA will give thorough considerations to the technical
suggestions (i.e, exploring the possibility of the surface water
run off being collected and diverted to the south, etc.) during
the design phase of the project so as to enhance the final Site
remedy, if such is determined to be necessary during the 5-year
review.

COMMENT 4.

A Commenter stated that the Present Worth Cost for the operation
and maintenance of the Site remedy/ for a duration of 30 years,
did not account for inflation.

EPA Response:

A present worth analysis was performed for each alternative using
the assumed discount rate of 5% as per Agency policy at the time
of the Feasibility Study.

COMMENT 5:

A Commenter questions the necessity of the leachate collection
system as part of the final Site remedy, especially if the
affected residents will be connected to the municipal water
supply system mandated by the March 1993 Record of Decision and
thus will no longer be at risk from consuming contaminated
groundwater from the Landfill.  The Commenter further states that

-------
the leachate collection system, if instituted, will in actuality
collect mostly fresh or very mildly contaminated groundwater,
much like the leachate collection system at the adjacent former
sanitary landfill.  As such, the commenter recommends the
construction of a leachate barrier (slurry wall) in the north of
the Site, in lieu of constructing a leachate collection system,
to prevent fresh recharge groundwater from entering the Landfill
and consequently reducing operation and maintenance cost of the
Site remedy.  The Commenter also questions EPA's projected 30-
year operation and maintenance costs for the site remedy.

EPA Response:

EPA's objective is to protect both human health and the
environment.  Data accumulated during the remedial investigation
of the Landfill clearly confirms that Site contaminants have
migrated into the surrounding surface waters and sediment,
therefore leachate at the Site must be addressed, and EPA
beelieves some form of leachate collection system is necessary.
A properly designed leachate collection system will not collect
"clean" groundwater, however the details of a leachate collection
system will be developed in the Remedial Design phase of the
project.

In addition, a slurry wall constructed along the northern end of
the Landfill without some system to address leachate at the Site,
will not be an adequate barrier to site contaminants migrating
into the Galloway Swamp.

Lastly, in reference to the projected operation and maintenance
costs for the site remedy, it is within the EPA guidance and
policy requirement that the projected cost for a site remedy have
an accuracy of +50 percent to -30 percent.

COMMENT 6:

A Commenter states that the proposed gas venting layer in the
Site remedy's NYCRR Part 360 landfill cap should be deleted in
favor of four gas vents per acre.  The Commenter refers to the
currently low gas production at the Landfill as the main reason
why the proposed gas venting layer should be waived.

EPA Response:

Volatile organic compounds were detected on-Site during a gas
monitoring survey in 1987 by GZA Associates of New York, the
technical consultant for the potentially responsible parties
("PRPs").  The gas venting layer, a substantive requirement of
the 6 NYCRR Part 360 landfill cap design, cannot be waived unless
it can be successfully demonstrated that such a system is not
needed.  Specifically,  an explosive gas investigation must be
performed to determine if the gas venting layer can be waived.

-------
This determination can be made during the remedial design phase
of the selected remedy.  However, New York State regulations
governing closure of municipal landfills and proper engineering
practices dictate that provision of such system should be made.

COMMENT 7:

A Commenter states that the selected Site remedy should be
divided into two phases.  The capping of the Landfill and the
groundwater monitoring should comprise Phase I.  Phase II, which
should include the installation of a perimeter leachate
collection system, should be deferred until after the 5-year
review.

EPA Response:

As stated in previous response to comment number 5, the issue of
leachate generated at the Site must be addressed.  If, during the
design phase, it can be demonstrated that an alternative approach
can be implemented sufficiently to address the leachate, a
modification may be made.

COMMENT 8:

A Commenter states that leachate storage capacity of 40,000
gallons will be insufficient, especially during late winter and
early spring when leachate generation is expected to be a at
maximum.  The Commenter recommends that the leachate tank storage
capacity be 500,000 gallons.

EPA Response:

The storage capacity of 40,000 gallons was calculated during the
RI/FS, and it is based on an estimate of 3,400 gallons per day
rate of leachate generation which was calculated using the
Hydrologic Evaluation of Landfill Performance model.  However,
the final storage capacity of the leachate storage tanks will be
re-evaluated during the remedial design phase of the Site remedy.

COMMENT 9:

A Commenter cites the health and safety hazards which the
excavation of the Magnesium Fines Area would pose to workers and
adjacent residents.  Commenter recommends capping the northern
area of the Landfill, leaving the Magnesium Fines Area
undisturbed.

EPA Response:

EPA is aware of the hazards associated with the excavation of the
Magnesium Fines Area.  Special health and safety guidelines will
be followed in the excavation of the Magnesium Fines Area.

-------
Measures will be taken to eliminate fugitive dust migration, and
special field equipment will be used to prevent sparks from
igniting the magnesium.


2.   Comments from NL Industries, Inc., dated November 7, 1994
     prepared by ELM Environmental Liability. Inc.

COMMENT l:

A Commenter asserts that EPA's proposed remedy for the Site is
not based upon sound technical, scientific, and engineering
analysis and therefore is arbitrary and capricious.

EPA Response:

EPA's proposed remedy for the Site is based upon the mandates of
CERCLA, and the NCP.  Specifically, the proposed Site remedy is
based upon the administrative record, including the following
studies and technical documents:

     GZA. April 1989. Batavia Landfill Site, Draft Remedial
     Investigation Report.  Prepared by Goldberg-Ziono Associates
     of New York for NL Industries, Inc., Hightown, New Jersey.

-------
     U.S. EPA.  1988. Guidance for Conducting Remedial
     Investigations and Feasibility Studies Under CERCLA.
     Interim Final. Report No. EPA/540/G-89/004, OSWER Directive
     9355.3-01  (October 1988).  U.S. EPA, Office of Emergency and
     Remedial Response, Washington, D.C. 20460.

COMMENT 2:

The Commenter asserts that the selected remedy for the Site is
unjustified ,for the following reasons:  (1) The EPA and NYSDOH
human health risk assessments do not justify the remedy;  (2)
EPA's Human Health Risk Assessments are invalid and flawed; (3)
An ecological risk assessment of the Site is not completed, and
yet EPA proposes remedial activities to address hypothetical
ecological risks; and,  (4) the proposed remedy will cause
substantial environmental injury in order to reduce undocumented
risks.

EPA Response:

EPA does not agree.

1)  The Public  Health Assessment for the Site, dated January 11,
1994 and prepared by the NYSDOH, concludes that all three water
bearing aquifers at the Landfill have been contaminated with
metals and volatile organic compounds to levels which in exceed
drinking water  and health based standards.  The report further
concludes that  the Landfill is a public health hazard, and public
access to the premises should be restricted.

2)  The EPA Human Health Risk Assessment was performed in
accordance with EPA guidance and policies.  The risk was
calculated to be 1.2 x 10"3 ,  and exceeds the acceptable risk
range established by the NCP.

3)  As part of  the Site remedy, a. pre-design ecological
assessment to define impacts of the Landfill on fish, wildlife, .
and associated  habitats (especially wetlands) will be performed.
This information will be used to determine whether .any wetland
excavation is advisable consistent with the goal to protect the
fish and wildlife, and if excavation is determined to be
necessary and advisable, the information obtained will be used to
determine the extent of work to be performed.  Any sediments
excavated as a  result of ecological considerations will be placed
under the cap.  In constructing the cap, a portion of the
wetlands may be impacted.  The ecological assessment will also
assist in designing and constructing the remedy in such a way as
to minimize any adverse impacts to the wetlands caused by the
remedy.  The remedy will require mitigation to any damage to
wetlands or wetlands function.

-------
4)  In February 1994, representatives from NL Industries
requested that EPA allow for the performance of an ecological
assessment of the Site prior to, rather than after, the selection
of a remedy for the Site.  EPA guidance clearly states that an
ecological assessment may be performed before, during, or after
remedial action.  EPA, however, nevertheless provided NL
Industries with the opportunity to perform the ecological
assessment, with the provision that EPA's Ecological Assessment
Workplan, dated April 7, 1994 and prepared by TRC Environmental
Corporation, be followed.  On July 26, 1994, EPA reviewed and
approved a Sediment and Surface Water Sampling Work Plan, dated
May 24, 1994, prepared by GZA (for NL) in conjunction with the
ecological assessment which they proposed be performed.  EPA
confirmed, in a letter dated July 26, 1994, its understanding
that the fieldwork for the ecological assessment would commence
on August 1, 1994.  EPA agreed to consider the ecological
assessment conducted by NL Industries if it was received in a
timely manner, and NL projected its completion by late September
1994.  EPA eventually received the Ecological Risk Assessment
report in mid-December 1994.  The report has been reviewed by EPA
and determined to be incomplete.  The document is not
representative of a complete Ecological Risk assessment, but
rather it is more applicable as a thorough -screening analysis for
which contaminants of concern are identified for the wetlands
areas, which is traditionally the first step in the ecological
risk analysis process.  Consequently, the ecological risk
assessment for the Site will be completed during the remedial
design phase of the selected remedy.  The results of the
completed ecological assessment will be used to design and
construct the remedy in a way to minimize any adverse impacts to
the wetlands.

COMMENT 3:

A comment on page 6 of the submittal asserts that metals in the
Site's ground water were generally detected below Maximum
Contaminant Levels ("MCLs").

EPA Response:

The above comment is inaccurate: arsenic was detected in 11 of 15
groundwater samples with a maximum concentration of 167 parts per
billion ("ppb"); barium was detected in 23 of 23 groundwater
samples with a maximum concentration of 2220 ppb; total chromium
was detected in 20 of 23 groundwater samples with a maximum
concentration of 181 ppb,- lead was detected in 21 of 23
groundwater samples with a maximum concentration of 433 pbb;
nickel was detected in 14 of 15 groundwater samples with a high
concentration of 155 pbb.  All referenced maximum metal
concentrations in the groundwater exceed the federal and State
MCLs.  Considering that the monitoring wells system is
essentially configured around the periphery of the Landfill,

                                10

-------
there is a reasonable possibility that the ground water under the
Site may be more severely impacted than as indicated by the
remedial investigation results of 1988.

COMMENT 4:
           «
A Commenter questions the necessity for a Site remedy because
NYSDOH in April 1993, after reviewing a site assessment performed
by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry/ only
recommended that an alternate public water supply be provided for
residents living adjacent to the Landfill.

EPA Response:

The provision of an alternate water supply was identified as an
interim measure to address one of the problems associated with
the Site.  The objective of this action is to control the source
of contamination at the Site and to reduce and minimize the
migration of contaminants into the site media.

The Health assessment is only one of the documents that form the
basis for the selection of a remedy.  The Administrative Record
containing the supporting documents is available and has been
maintained at the Richmond Library and the Batavia Town Hall.

COMMENT 5:

A Commenter asserts that both of EPA's human health risk
assessments are flawed because they:

1.   are exceedingly simplistic, resulting in implausible
     assumptions;

2.   ignore the importance of environmental processes that have
     been generally recognized by the scientific community for
     years;

3.   fail to follow relevant EPA guidance documents, thereby
     disregarding good technical and scientific protocols; and,

4.   are based on data that are deficient in quantity, quality,
     and are not representative of potential exposure point
     concentrations.

EPA Response:

As stated previously in EPA's response to comment number 1 on
page 8,  the risk assessments at the Site,  have been completed in
accordance with applicable EPA technical guidances and policies
under CERCLA and the NCP.  The ecological assessment notwith-
standing, EPA has acquired sufficient data on the Site conditions
to support and justify the need for remedial action at the Site
to protect both human health and the environment.

                                11

-------
COMMENT 6:

A Commenter questions the impact of that EPA's conclusion in its
Risk Assessment Report which states that the local groundwater
background conditions have not been characterized.

EPA Response:

Most monitoring wells used, as stated in earlier responses, are
generally situated in and around the property boundary line of
the Landfill.  While more background monitoring well locations
could have been selected during the remedial investigation, EPA
has sufficient background characterization of the local
groundwater through data collected from the periodic testing of
groundwater samples from the adjacent former sanitary landfill
(now closed), the wells to the north of the Site, and NYSDOH's
sampling of nearby private residential wells.

COMMENT 7:

A Commenter asserts that the EPA Risk Assessment is flawed
because background chemical concentrations were not determined
during the RI.  Furthermore, the commenter continues to speculate
that the chemical concentrations found on Site may actually
represent 'natural1 background chemical conditions.

EPA Response:

According to EPA's current policy on conducting risk assessments
at Superfund sites, background sampling is not required.
Furthermore, data collected during the RI have confirmed on-site
sediment and soil contamination, which includes heavy metals and
polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons ("PAHs") well in excess of
federal and State soil/sediment cleanup criteria.  The ground
water beneath the Site has also been impacted by contaminants at
levels which exceed federal and State.health-based levels.

COMMENT 8:

A Commenter asserts that all groundwater data used in EPA's risk
assessment was from unfiltered samples and that EPA failed to
follow its guidance which recommends collecting and evaluating
both filtered and unfiltered groundwater samples.

EPA Response:

Although EPA guidance suggests the chemical testing of both
filtered and unfiltered groundwater samples during a remedial
investigation, it also requires that any unfiltered samples be
chemically analyzed so as to not under-represent the
concentrations of hazardous constituents in the groundwater
medium.  Note that the 1989 EPA Risk Assessment Guidance  (page 6-

                                12

-------
27) states that, "data from unfiltered samples should be used to
estimate exposure concentrations."  The chemical analysis of
filtered groundwater samples tends to under-represent the
mobility and concentrations of contaminants in the groundwater.

COMMENT 9:

A Commenter states that EPA failed to follow its own Risk
Assessment guidance (EPA 1989; EPA 1990) for the proper sampling
depth of the sediment during the remedial investigation of the
Site.

EPA Response:

The sediment samples were collected during the remedial
investigation fieldwork activities in 1988, a year prior to the
release of the referenced EPA guidance.  The sediment sampling
depths (6") were approved by the NYSDOH prior to the 1988
sediment sample collection.  EPA attempts to sample sediment and
soil from depths that will be available for potential direct
exposure to human and ecological receptors.  The upper six inches
of soil and sediment are potentially exposure pathways for dermal
contact and incidental ingestion.

COMMENT 10:

A Commenter asserts that EPA's Risk Assessment was based upon a
small number of on-site samples taken in 1987-88.  The Commenter
further states that no additional sampling was taken to delineate
the extent of contamination and establish gradients of
contamination attenuation.

EPA Response:

Although EPA does acknowledge that more analytical sampling of
the wetlands sediment and surface waters are needed to further
delineate the exact area and volume to be remediated in the
wetlands, we do not share the opinion that insufficient field
data was used to select the remedy for the Site.   As stated in an
earlier response, the design of the selected remedy will include
an ecological assessment and additional sampling of the wetlands
sediment and surface waters to determine whether any wetland
excavation is advisable consistent with the goal to protect the
fish and wildlife,  and if excavation is determined to be
necessary and advisable,  the information obtained will be used to
determine the extent of work to be performed.

COMMENT 11:

A Commenter asserts that EPA's Risk Assessment did not include an
assessment of the data useability as required in EPA Guidance
(EPA 1990).  The Commenter also continues to further state that

                                13

-------
metals were analyzed during the remedial investigation (RI) using
inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy.  As a
result, arsenic and antimony were subjected to significant
positive interferences when analyzed by this method; as such,
arsenic and antimony may not be chemicals of concern at the Site.

EPA Response:

The risk assumptions used by TRC, EPA's contractor, regarding
arsenic and antimony are consistent with EPA policy and with risk
assessments for other sites in EPA Region II.  EPA acknowledges
that there are uncertainties in the toxicity values for arsenic
and antimony.  These type of uncertainties are discussed in the
"Discussion of Uncertainties" section of the EPA Risk Assessment
Report.

COMMENT 12:

A Commenter asserts that EPA's projected future land use
scenarios in the vicinity the Landfill and the Site are
unreasonable and unrealistic.

EPA Response:

EPA's Risk Assessment's exposure scenarios are based on the
proximity of nearby residents and the future potential that
residential development of the area adjacent to the Landfill is
possible.  The exposure scenarios are considered reasonable
maximum exposure scenarios and are consistent with the NCP.

COMMENT 13:

A Commenter asserts that the scenario TRC used to estimate
potential risks to future excavation workers is unrealistic.

EPA Response:

The use of an excavation worker scenario is performed according
to EPA guidance and is based on the potential for future utility
maintenance/repair/installation activities at the Site.

COMMENT 14:

A Commenter asserts that/ "EPA estimated carcinogenic risks posed
by the PAHs in sediment to hypothetical resident are based upon
implausible assumptions."

EPA Response:

The risk assessment for the Site was developed during a period of
evolving EPA policy regarding PAH carcinogenic potency.
Specifically, the risk assessment report was prepared before EPA

                                14

-------
Region II adopted the Toxicity Equivalency Factor  ("TEF")
approach.  EPA recalculated the PAH risks using the TEF approach.
These results indicate that the sediment risk decreased from 6 x
10^ to 2 x 10"*.   This revised risk estimate is largely
attributable to benzo(a)pyrene.  However, the cancer risk related
to the potential ingestion of on-site groundwater, 1.2 x 10'3, is
not altered by the adopted TEF approach.

COMMENT 15:

A commenter asserts that EPA overestimated the carcinogenic risks
posed by the PAHs.

EPA Response:

The risk assessment was prepared before EPA Region II began using
the TEF approach.  As stated above, an addendum to the .risk
assessment recalculating PAH risks using the TEF approach reduced
the sediment carcinogenic risk from 6 x 10"4 to 2 x 10"4.

COMMENT 16:

A Commenter asserts that the EPA Risk Assessment of the ground
water improperly assumes no natural soil attenuation of site-
contaminants as ground water flows beneath the Site.

EPA Response:

The approach of not assuming any natural soil attenuation of
site-wide contaminants as groundwater flows beneath a site is
common practice in risk assessments. It is considered especially
relevant at this Site given the contaminants of concern and the
fact that current or potential future receptors are located in
relatively close proximity to the contamination source.

COMMENT 17:

A Commenter asserts that currently, as well as in the future/
residents will not be at threat from contaminant plumes at the
Site/ especially with the nearby residents being connected to the
municipal waterline.  The Commenter further speculates that
contaminants will remain at the Site and/or attenuate to
concentrations below health-based criteria.

EPA Response:

The purpose of EPA's remedial action at the Batavia Landfill Site
is to protect both human health and the environment.  Providing
the nearby residents with a safe and dependable alternate water
supply does not alleviate the Agency's responsibility to
remediate the Site.  Furthermore, EPA's assessment of the Site


                                15

-------
hydrogeology does not support the hypothesis that contaminants at
the Landfill, if unremediated, will not continue to negatively
impact the local environment.  Therefore, some action to prevent
the Landfill from acting as a source of contamination to the
groundwater is necessary.  However, by constructing a proper cap
and collecting and treating leachate, the Landfill will no longer
be acting as a source of contamination to the groundwater and the
remaining contaminated groundwater should naturally attenuate
over time.

COMMENT 18:

A commenter asserts that the EPA Risk Assessment failed to take
into account the possibility that vinyl chloride, one of the two
major contributors to the ground water ingestion risk, was not
detected in any bedrock well samples.

EPA Response:

Vinyl chloride was detected in the upper groundwater bearing
zones which are hydraulically connected to the bedrock, therefore
there is a possibility that vinyl chloride could reach the
bedrock aquifer in the future.  Using vinyl chloride in the Risk
Assessment is consistent with EPA policy.

COMMENT 19:

A Commenter asserts that EPA's risk assessment failed to take
into account the biodegradation of organic chemicals in the
sediment and ground water.  The Commenter continues that EPA's
risk assessment estimates, which assume concentrations remain
constant over the lifetime of an individual, are inherently
flawed.

EPA Response:

It is a common practice in risk assessments not to address
attenuation of contaminants.  This is considered especially
relevant where current or potential future receptors are located
in relatively close proximity to the contaminant source.  The use
of numerical models to evaluate contaminant transport in ground
water may be the source of great uncertainty.  In most cases,
inputs to the model (i.e., degradation, retardation, etc.) can
provide a source of great uncertainty.

COMMENT 20:

A Commenter asserts that an ecological assessment was not
completed and also that a comparison to Site-specific background
concentrations cannot be made because the appropriate (i.e.
background) data were not collected by EPA.
                                16

-------
EPA Response:

In implementing the Site remedy, an ecological risk assessment
will be conducted which will include the additional sampling of
the surrounding wetland sediment and surface waters.  Also, see
EPA's Response to comment number 2 on page 9.

COMMENT 21:                                       '

A Conmenter contends that the excavation of the sediment is not
necessary to protect human health or the environment.

EPA Response:

As part of the Site remedy, a pre-design ecological assessment
will be performed to define impacts of the Landfill on fish,
wildlife, and associated habitats (especially wetlands).  This
information will be used to determine whether any wetland
excavation is advisable consistent with the goal to protect the
fish and wildlife, and if excavation is determined to be
necessary and advisable, the information obtained will be used to
determine the extent of work to be performed.  Any sediments
excavated as a result of ecological considerations will be placed
under the cap.  In constructing the cap a portion of the wetlands
may be impacted.  The ecological assessment will also assist in
designing and constructing the remedy in such a way as to
minimize any adverse impacts to the wetlands caused by the
remedy.  The remedy will require mitigation to any damage to
wetlands or wetlands function.

COMMENT 22:

A Commenter asserts dissatisfaction that EPA is not utilizing
more modern statistical approaches (i.e. Monte Carlo simulations)
in its Risk Assessment.

EPA Response:

EPA recognizes that although Monte Carlo analysis ("MCA") has
been available since the 1940's, the widespread application of
MCA in health and environmental risk assessments did not really
begin until relatively recently.  EPA acknowledged the utility of
MCA in its 1992 Guidelines for Exposure Assessment,  however, the
use of MCA within the Agency has been limited, primarily because
of insufficient Agency guidance and the need to fully evaluate
the advantages and disadvantages of this approach.  The Agency is
working to develop a training program,  conduct a needs assessment
of software and computer requirements,  and develop a final policy
statement in July, 1996.
                                17

-------
COMMENT 23:

A Commenter asserts that the excavation of the Magnesium Fines
Area and Area R soils would be a health risk to workers.

EPA Response:

See EPA Response to comment number 9 submitted by the City of
Batavia on page 7.

COMMENT 24:

A Commenter asserts that the excavation of the Magnesium Fines
Area and Area R soils are not necessary to protect human health
or the environment.

EPA Response:

The Magnesium Fines Area and Drum Area R constitute the northern
area of the Landfill.  The wastes in these areas are a continuing
source of contamination to the groundwater.  The groundwater from
the Site has been contaminated by metals and volatile organic
compounds at levels which exceed drinking water standards.  The
carcinogenic risk related to ingestion of groundwater, 1.2 x 10~3,
is outside the acceptable risk range established by the NCP.
Therefore the remediation of the northern area is necessary to
protect human health.

The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation's
1994 Technical and Administrative Guidance Memorandum ("TAGM")
will be used as a goal in determining the amount of soil to be
excavated from the northern area of the Landfill for consoli-
dation under a NYCRR Part 360 cap.

COMMENT 25:

A Commenter .asserts that the excavation of the buried drums in
the southern area of the Landfill is not.necessary to protect
human health and the environment.

EPA Response:

Sampling results from the area of the buried drums detected the
highest concentration of volatile organic compounds.found at the
Site, identifying this area as a hot spot.  Because the soils are
surrounding and in contact with the drums, it is a natural
assumption that the drums would contain similar types of
contaminants.  Therefore, the removal of the buried drums from
the southern portion of the Landfill, estimated to be 150 in
number, would be consistent with the mandates of the NCP to treat
hot spots.  This is also consistent with Agency RI/FS guidance


                                18

-------
and presumptive remedy guidance.  As stated before, the
protection of the groundwater is relevant to the protection of
the environment and, as such, the removal of any buried drums,
will enhance the effectiveness of the Site remedy.

COMMENT 26:

A Commenter asserts that the Risk Assessment concludes that
wastes at the Site do not pose a significant risk to human health
under any realistic exposure scenarios.

EPA Response:

EPA's Groundwater Risk Assessment, dated March 27, 1992,
concludes that the groundwater has been contaminated with
hazardous constituents at levels which exceed federal and State
MCLs as a result of past disposal practices at the Site.  These
levels present an unacceptable carcinogenic risk of 1.2 x 10~3.
The Risk Assessment also concludes that significant carcinogenic
risks (2 x 10"4)  exist via incidental ingestion of on-site
sediment.

To assess the overall potential for noncarcinogenic effects posed
by one or more than one contaminant, EPA has developed a hazard
index ("HI") that measures the assumed simultaneous exposures to
several chemicals at low concentrations which could result in an .
adverse health effect.  When the HI exceeds one (1.0), there may
be concern for potential noncarcinogenic effects.  The acute
noncarcinogenic HI associated with groundwater ingestion at the
Site was 5.4 and the chronic HI was 26.4, indicating the
potential for significant noncarcinogenic effects if the Site
remains unremediated.

COMMENT 27:

A commenter expresses opposition to the inclusion of a leachate
collection system as part of the proposed Site remedy.

EPA Response:

See EPA responses to comments number 5 and 7 from the City of
Batavia on pages 5 and 7, respectively.

COMMENT 28:

A Commenter expresses opposition to performing an ecological
assessment after (as opposed to before) the Record of Decision is
issued.
                                19

-------
EPA Response:

See EPA's response to comment number 2 on page 9.


COMMENT 29:

A Commenter expresses disappointment, for economic' reasons/ in
EPA's failure to perform the ecological assessment prior to
selecting the site remedy.

EPA Response:

See EPA's Response to comment number 2 on page 9.


3.   Comments submitted by NL Industries, Inc., GTE Operations
     Support Inc., Eaton Corporation, Unisys Corporation and R.
     E. Chapin Manufacturing Works dated November 5, 1994

COMMENT 1:

The Commenter requests tbat their submitted comments become part
of the Administrative Record.

EPA Response:                                      "

In accordance with the NCP, all significant comments submitted by
the public in a timely fashion will become part of the
Administrative Record.  Accordingly, these comments will be
included in the Administrative Record for this remedy.

COMMENT 2:

The Commenter states that EPA's Ground Water Risk Assessment and
Baseline .Risk Assessment are based upon inadequate and out-dated
data.

EPA Response:

Because conditions at the Landfill have not significantly
changed, i.e. no remedial actions have been taken, EPA views the
data collected as representative of current Site conditions.

COMMENT 3:

The Commenter asserts that the Risk Assessments, performed by
TRC, did not consider the drum removal actions which were
performed after 1987-88, the period in which the bulk of the RI
information was accumulated.
                               20

-------
EPA Response:

The "Uncertainty" section of the TRC Risk Assessment discusses
the drum removal actions performed after 1987.   The drum removal
actions did not remove the soil in those areas, therefore
contamination remains in those areas and the removal action would
not contradict the results of the risk assessment.

COMMENT 4:

The Commenter asserts that the EPA Risk Assessment did not factor
into its analysis a statistically significant number of
groundwater samples to establish background conditions.

EPA Response:

EPA has collected sufficient data and performed the necessary
environmental studies at the Site to substantiate undertaking a
response action pursuant to the mandates of CERCLA and the NCP.
The selected Site remedy also requires the completion of an
ecological assessment to determine the extent of remediation
necessary concerning the wetlands sediment and to collect
additional background samples to define the extent of
environmental contamination.

COMMENT 5:

The Commenter asserts that the Ground Water Risk Assessment is
flawed and inconsistent with the NCP because TRC failed to
present a true "no action" baseline risk assessment.

EPA Response:

The Interim Groundwater Risk Assessment was intended to evaluate
potential future risks to public health associated with
contaminants measured in ground water during RI field activities.
The results of the Assessment were used to conduct a Focused
Feasibility Study, the goal of which was the protection of the
health of those found to be at risk.  Evaluation of the potential
future risks associated with ingestion of contaminated ground
water is not contrary to the development of a "no action"
baseline risk assessment.  Furthermore, the interim Risk
Assessment was supplemented by an additional Risk Assessment.

COMMENT 6:

The Commenter asserts that the interim Groundwater Risk
Assessment only evaluated hypothetical future risks to users of
existing domestic ground water wells.
                                21

-------
EPA Response:

A risk assessment must evaluate whether drinking water exposures
could potentially occur in the future.  Conservatively, the risk
assessment conducted at the Site assumed that contaminants would
reach nearby receptors without attenuation.  This approach is
often adopted by EPA in the absence of detailed site-specific
information on contaminant transport.  Time of travel
calculations are typically made during the remedial investigation
and are not considered part of a risk assessment.

COMMENT 7:

The Commenter asserts that the following assumptions, upon which
the groundwater risk assessment is based/ are insupportable: (1)
that the overburden and bedrock aquifers are hydraulically
connected, and (2) that the ground water in the southern portion
of the Site flows toward the south.

EPA Response:

Data accumulated during the RI have confirmed that the three
water-bearing aquifers at the Site are interconnected and, as
such, they could all be considered as being one heterogeneous
aquifer.  Although EPA's interpretation of the Site's
hydrogeology does support the existence of a silt/clay layer
underlying most of the Site, this sub-layer is not present in the
north-central location of the Site and, therefore, some of the
Site contaminants have been detected in all three water-bearing
zones.  For instance, barium, magnesium, and chromium have all
been detected in descending concentrations in the upper soil
zone, lower soil zone, and bedrock aquifers, respectively.

EPA's interpretation of the Site's hydrology is that shallow
groundwater flow appears to be to the south in the southern
portion of the Landfill and to the east-northeast in the southern
central portiton of the Landfill, based upon information amassed
during the RI and specifically on data provided for wells
screened at or very near the water table.

COMMENT 8:

The Commenter asserts that TRC included vinyl chloride in the
ground water risk assessment, despite the lack of statistically
significant detections.

EPA Response:

Vinyl chloride was included in the groundwater risk assessment
because it is a Group A carcinogen.  The Risk Assessment for
Superfund Guidance ("RAGS") document states on page 5-21 that
"...the weight-of-evidence classification should be considered in

                                22

-------
conjunction with the concentrations detected at the site.  It may
be practical and conservative to retain a chemical that was
detected at low concentrations if that chemical is a Group A
carcinogen."

Frequency of detection is an optional criterion that may be used
to eliminate contaminants from the risk assessment.  The EPA RAGS
document recommends including all chemicals in the" risk
assessment, regardless of frequency of detection, if it is not
unwieldy to do so.  This is the approach that was used in this
risk assessment.

EPA generally uses a 5% frequency of detection limit in order to
eliminate chemicals from the risk assessment.  If a contaminant
is found in 5% or less of the media samples, it may be eliminated
from the risk assessment.  Vinyl chloride was found in 3 out of
21 groundwater samples, or 14% of the samples.  Therefore, vinyl
chloride was considered a contaminant of concern in the risk
assessment.

COMMENT 9:

The Commenter asserts that TRC used only unfiltered ground water
samples in the risk assessment.

EPA Response:

In general, EPA calls for evaluating risk associated with
unfiltered groundwater sampling results.  RAGS p. 6-27 states
that "data from unfiltered samples should be used to estimate
exposure concentrations."  RAGS further states that data from
filtered samples "may underestimate chemical concentrations in
water from an unfiltered tap."

COMMENT 10:

The Commenter asserts that TRC's assumptions regarding the child
receptors are "beyond the bounds of reality in many ways."

EPA Response:

The assumptions regarding the child receptor are based on the
proximity of residences to the Landfill and the land use
information that residential development of area adjacent to the
Landfill is possible.  The exposure parameters used in the risk
assessment are meant to be conservative and protective of this
sensitive subpopulatiom

COMMENT 11:

The Commenter asserts that TRC's exposure scenario for the
excavation workers is unrealistic and unsupportable.

                                23

-------
EPA Response:

The excavation worker scenario is based on the potential for
future excavation activities at the Site, such as future utility
workers, not on the potential for future excavation activities
related to the remedial activities selected at the Site.

COMMENT 12:

The Commenter asserts that TRC derived the oral ingestion risk
for soil from a Taiwanese study of arsenic in drinking water and
that data from similar studies in the United States fail to
confirm these findings.

EPA Response:

The assumptions used in the risk assessment regarding arsenic are
consistent with EPA policy and risk assessments for other sites
in EPA Region II.  While EPA recognizes that results of studies
have not observed similar results in U.S. populations, the
results of the U.S. studies are not necessarily inconsistent with
the existing findings from foreign populations.

COMMENT 13:

The Commenter states that the Proposed Plan does not adequately
address the short-term risk associated with the implementation of
the preferred remedy.

EPA Response:

Although the Proposed Plan did present a summary of the short-
term risks to workers and nearby residents, the referenced
document does refer the public to the local EPA repositories for
a more detailed technical, scientific, regulatory,  and legal
basis for the selection of the Site remedy.  Chapters 4 - 7 of
the TRC Risk Assessment as well the feasibility study, both which
can be reviewed at either of the local repositories, provide
lengthy discussions on the short term risks that the Site would
pose to excavation workers and nearby residents.

COMMENT 14:

The Commenter asserts that the Proposed Plan does not accurately
determine the cost effectiveness of the Preferred Remedy.

EPA Response:

See EPA Response to comment number 4 submitted by the City of
Batavia on page 5.  Furthermore, all Alternatives were evaluated
for cost effectiveness and overall protectiveness to human health
and the environment.

                                24

-------
COMMENT 15:

The Commenter asserts that the Proposed Flan does not accurately
determine the long-term effectiveness of the leachate collection
system as part of the Preferred Remedy.

EPA Response:

See EPA response to comment number 5 submitted by the City of
Batavia on page 5.


4.   The following comments are from the document entitled
     "Batavia Landfill Superfund Site Review of Remedial
     Investigation Completed by GZA GeoEnvironmental of New
     York", dated October 1992, prepared by Leggette, Brashears t
     Graham, Inc.

COMMENT 1:

A Commenter states that Environ (a technical consultant) found
EPA's groundwater risk assessment to be flawed.  The Commenter
further states that data developed by GZA and interpreted by the
commenter, the consultant firm of Leggette, Brashears & Graham/
indicate that contaminants could not reach domestic wells from
the bedrock aquifer.

EPA Response:

EPA has already responded to the above referenced document by
Leggette, Brashears & Graham, Inc.,  in the March 1993 ROD.
Please refer to EPA's Responsiveness Summary (pages 8-16) in the
March 1993 ROD.
5.   The following comments are from the document entitled,
     "Comments on the TRC Environmental Corporation's 'Draft
     Final Risk Assessment, Batavia Landfill, Batavia. New
     York1," prepared for the Batavia Landfill PRP Group by
     ENVIRON Corporation dated May 24, 1993

COMMENT 1:

The Commenter states that the TRC risk assessment was based on a
small number of samples and that there is no indication that this
data adequately depicts current Site conditions.

EPA Response:

The TRC risk assessment takes this fact into account in the
"Uncertainty" section.  See also responses to comment 2,
submitted by NL.Industries, et al., on page 20.

                                25

-------
COMMENT 2:

The Commenter asserts that the TRC risk assessment's excavation
worker scenario is unrealistic and unsupportable.

EPA Response:  '

The excavation worker scenario was developed in accordance with
current EPA guidelines to be protective of human health.  This
scenario is based on the assumption that, in the future,
excavation work (i.e. underground utility repair/maintenance/
installation) may occur at the Site.

COMMENT 3:

The Commenter asserts that the carcinogenic risk from arsenic
calculated for the excavation worker scenario is too
conservative.

EPA Response:

The assumptions used in the risk assessment regarding arsenic are
consistent with EPA policy and risk assessments for other sites
in EPA Region II.

COMMENT 4:

The Commenter states that the noncarcinogenic risk to excavation
workers are artificially elevated by unrealistic assumptions.

EPA Response:

Assumptions concerning the occurrence of excavation activities
were based on the potential for future underground utility
repair/maintenance/installation work at the Site, not considering
future remedial actions.  The use of a 3 month exposure duration
for the excavation worker in limited areas of contamination is
intended to be conservative.  The subchronic reference doses used
in the risk assessment were derived in accordance with current
EPA guidelines.  Specifically, when subchronic toxicity data are
unavailable for a particular chemical, the chronic reference
doses are adopted as the subchronic reference doses without any
adjustments.

COMMENT 5:

The Commenter states that the carcinogenic risks presented for
the hypothetical off-site resident exposure to sediment are
elevated by implausible assumptions regarding exposure frequency.
                                26

-------
EPA Response:

The exposure frequency parameters for the off-site residential
exposure to sediments are based on professional judgement and are
intended to be conservative.  The risk assessment for the Site
was developed during a period of evolving EPA policy regarding
PAH carcinogenic potency.  Specifically, the risk assessment
report was prepared before EPA Region II adopted the TEF
approach.  As an addendum to the risk assessment, TRC
recalculated PAH risks using the TEF approach.  These results
indicated that the sediment risk decreased from 6 x 10"4 to 2 x
10"4.  The revised risk estimate is largely attributable to
benzo(a)pyrene.

COMMENT 6:

The Commenter states that most of the risk to the excavation
worker was from the ingestion of arsenic, based upon a maximum
detected concentration of 164 parts per million ("ppm") in
subsurface soil. The Commenter refers to a Shacklette and
Boerngen study of background eastern U.S. data that acknowledges
a natural background concentration of up to 73 ppm for arsenic.

EPA Response:

The referenced background level of 73 ppm for arsenic is too high
for New York.   A more realistic range, as referenced in the
TAGM, is 3 - 12 ppm.  Arsenic was found at the Site an order of
magnitude greater than that referenced and cannot be considered
background.  According to the RAGS document, chemicals present at
the Site at levels which exceed background levels are carried
through the risk assessment, and carcinogenic and noncarcinogenic
risks are calculated.

COMMENT 7:

The Commenter states that the risk to the excavation worker from
exposure to arsenic was characterized using an oral cancer slope
factor of 1.75.  This slope, the comment asserts, was developed
from studies of the ingestion of arsenic in drinking water.  The
TRC risk assessment, on the other hand, addressed the ingestion
of arsenic bound in a soil matrix.

EPA Response:

As indicated in the comment, data on ingestion of arsenic in soil
is not available in the scientific literature.  In the absence of
this information, we have assessed this potential risk using the
oral slope factor that is protective of public health.  The
assumptions used in the risk assessment are consistent with EPA
policy and risk assessments for other sites in Region II.


                                27

-------
COMMENT 8:

The Commenter states that the EPA Science Advisory Board
recommended, based upon studies, that EPA revise its arsenic risk
assessment in establishing a drinking water standard.

EPA Response:

The recommendation in question, which resulted from the
negotiation of a settlement of a law suit, allowed EPA the option
of pursuing a research program that would address risk assessment
issues'surrounding arsenic-induced cancer.  It did not
specifically recommend that EPA revise its arsenic risk
assessment in establishing a drinking water standard.

COMMENT 9:

The Commenter states that the maximum concentration for aluminum
used to calculate the Hazard Quotient ("HQ") of 1.0 for an
excavation worker is questionable because specific background
data on this metal is unavailable for the Site.

EPA Response:

Aluminum was found at levels which significantly exceeded what
would be considered background; notwithstanding, if aluminum were
eliminated from the calculation of the HI (into which the HQ is
added), the current HI of 6 for excavation workers would only be
reduced to an HI of 5, which remains well above the acceptable HI
level of 1.

COMMENT 10:

The Commenter is opposed to the exposure assumptions for adults
(ages 7 to 70) used in the TRC Risk Assessment, which they assert
is overly broad because there are sufficient differences in
exposure parameters among these age groups to warrant separate
exposure evaluations.

EPA Response:

As stated above, the exposure frequencies used in the sediment
exposure scenario are based on the current proximity of
residences to the Landfill and the adjacent land use information
that residential development of area adjacent to the Landfill is
possible.  In addition, they comply with EPA guidance and
methodologies.  As stated in the RAGS document, 100 milligrams
per kilogram is used as a soil/sediment ingestion rate for all
age groups greater than 6 years old.
                                28

-------
COMMENT 11:

The Commenter is critical of EPA for not using the TEF in the
Risk Assessment while such was done for the Niagara Mohawk Power
Corporation Site and at a metals company in Massena, New York.

EPA Response:

As stated previously, the risk assessment for the Site was
prepared before EPA Region II adopted the TEF approach.  In an
addendum to the risk assessment, TRC recalculated PAH risks using
the TEF approach.  The results showed that the sediment risk
decreased from 6 x 10"4 to 2 x 10^*.

COMMENT 12:

The Commenter asserts that the young child (1-6 years of age)
exposure risk scenario (i.e. ingestion of soil/waste and
sediment) is unrealistic.

EPA Response:

As stated above, this risk scenario is based on the proximity of
residences to the Landfill.  The Site is uncontrolled and
unfenced with nothing to prevent children from playing at the
Landfill.  The presence of ponds make parts of the Site
attractive to nearby youngsters.

COMMENT 13:

The Commenter asserts that the data used in the risk assessment
are from 1987-88 and that it is uncertain whether this reflects
current site conditions.

EPA Response:

As stated above in comment 2 on page 20, the Landfill conditions
have not significantly changed, and no remedial actions have been
taken; therefore EPA views the data collected as representative
of current Site conditions.
6.   The following comments are from the document entitled
     "Batavia Landfill Superfund Site Evaluation of EPA Preferred
     Remedy and Proposed Alternative Remedy", dated November 4,
     1994, prepared by C&E Consultants, Inc.

COMMENT 1:

The Commenter states that the wastes in the southern area do net
appear to be significantly different than in the northern area of
the Landfill.
                                29

-------
EPA response:

EPA disagrees.  The RI and the FS both discuss the differences
among the wastes, both in topography and in the type and
distribution of waste.

COMMENT 2:

Tbe Commenter discusses the cap and the gas and leachate
collection systems described in the Proposed Plan and states that
modifications to the system could be handled using the variance
request procedure included in the State regulations.

EPA response:

EPA agrees.  The ARAR identified for the capping of the Site, New
York regulations setting forth closure requirements (6 NYCRR Part
360), allows for variances to the cap described in the
regulations, and EPA would accept a proper variance if it can be
demonstrated to be equally effective and achieve the performance
standards.

COMMENT 3:

The Commenter discusses the remedy in the Proposed Plan and
proposes the selection of an alternative remedy/ a variation from
those evaluated in the FS/ namely covering the landfill with a
variation of a 6 NYCRR Part 360 cap.  The proposed alternative
discusses capping both the northern and southern area/ without
any waste consolidation and without treatment of the buried drum
area.  In addition/ the proposed alternative would eliminate the
leachate collection system.

EPA response:

As a result of the Site geology and the proximity of the
wetlands, a cap in the northern portion of the Landfill would be
techincally more difficult to engineer and the estimated cost
associated with such an action (e.g.,  actual construction costs,
operation and maintenance, additional leachate treatment)
resulted in EPA proposing an alternative remedy.  As to the
components of the capping system, sampling performed in the RI
was intended to collect data to adequately characterize the Site
for the purpose of developing and evaluating effective remedial
alternatives.  It was not necessarily intended to provide the
level of detail sufficient to design the remedy.  The capping
system that was evaluated in the FS is the one specified in the 6
NYCRR Part 360 regulations.  However,  the regulations do allow
for the installation of an equivalent design.  After the
collection of additional data during the design phase, the
components of the cap, including any gas and leachate collection
systems, will be further defined and designed.

                                30

-------
COMMENT 4:

The Commenter asserts that the substitution of a new set of
remedial action objectives ("RAOs") set forth by EPA in the
Proposed Plan/ when compared with the RAOs for the first Record
of Decision mandating the alternate water supply/ is inconsistent
with the NCP requirements because they are dissimilar.

EPA Response:

The purpose of the March 1993 Record of Decision, an interim
remedial action, was to ensure that the nearby residents who rely
solely on well water for potable domestic and consumptive needs
would have a safe drinking water supply.  Their private wells
could potentially be impacted by hazardous constituents from the
Site and, the March 1993 ROD had a different objective from this
ROD; therefore, the two RODs are not dissimilar or inconsistent
with the NCP.

COMMENT 5:

The Commenter states that EPA's interpretation of the groundwater
flow directions and contaminant pathways are incorrect.  The
Commenter further asserts that contaminants could not reach
domestic wells extracting water from the bedrock aquifer south of
the Site, and thus the Landfill could not pose a risk to
residents.

EPA Response:

As stated in the Preface to the RI report, EPA believes that
EPA's Conceptual Groundwater Model best represents hydogeological
conditions at the Site and that the groundwater from the Site
does pose a risk to the private wells.

COMMENT 6:

The Commenter reiterates Environ1s October 1992 and May 1993
comments on the EPA risk assessments for the Site.

EPA Response:

EPA has already responded to the issues raised by Environ's
comments.  See EPA responses in Section 5 of this Responsiveness
Summary.  Also see pages 8-12 of the March 1993 Record of
Decision Responsiveness Summary.

COMMENT 7:

The Commenter asserts that the RAOs in the Proposed Plan differ
from those in the FS and are not supported by the risk
assessment.

                                31

-------
EPA Response:

The RAOs, while not identical to those in the FS, are similar.
The NCP states that Final remediation goals will be determined
when the remedy is selected.  RAOs in the remedy selection
process are not solely or completely developed based on the human
health risk assessment; RAOs are also developed to protect the
environment and local ecology as well.  For instance, the
protection of the groundwater beneath the Site is a RAO.  Federal
and New York State soil/sediment cleanup criteria are also RAOs
that have evolved from environmental protection concerns as well
as from the potential risks to which an unremediated site could
subject nearby residents.

COMMENT 8:

The Commenter asserts that the gas venting layer for the Landfill
cap is unnecessary because the Site it is not anticipated that
the Landfill will produce any significant amount of gas.

EPA Response:

See EPA's response to comment number 6 from the City of Batavia,

COMMENT 9:

The Commenter expresses skepticism concerning the effectiveness
of the leachate collection system required under the proposed
Site remedy.

EPA Response:

See EPA's response to comment number 5 from the City of Batavia
on page 5.

COMMENT 10:

The Commenter states that there is no basis for excavating the
estimated 45,000 cubic yards of material from the Magnesium Fines
Area.

EPA Response:

The estimated volume of soils (45,000 cubic yards) to be
excavated is based upon results of the soil borings taken during
the RI.  The determination that it is necessary to excavate the
materials from the Magnesium Fines Area, on the other hand, is
based upon NYSDEC soil cleanup criteria.  NYSDEC soil cleanup
standards, developed to protect the ground water quality, require
that these metals be remediated to at least a level of 5000
milligrams per kilogram.  Some soil samples from the Magnesium

                                32

-------
Fines Area have revealed magnesium concentrations as high as
400,000 milligrams per kilogram.  Also other metals, such as
barium and chromium, are included in the estimated 45,000 cubic
yards of material to be excavated from the Magnesium Fines Area.
Additional soil samples will be collected during the remedial
design phase to determine more accurately the volume amount of
material which must be excaveted from the Magnesium Fines Area.

COMMENT 11:

The Commenter argues that NYSDEC's TAGM, dated January 24, 1994,
is not appropriate for establishing cleanup levels in the
Magnesium Fines Area because the levels may not be achievable.

EPA Response:

EPA is using the TAGM to set cleanup goals, rather than cleanup
levels.
