CHAPTER 1:  PROJECT SUMMARY
    Congress passed  the  Comprehensive
Environmental  Response,  Compensation,
and Liability  Act (CERCLA)  in  1980 to
address the environmental threats posed by
the  nation's   uncontrolled  waste  sites.
CERCLA directed the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) to  identify the sites
that pose the  greatest relative danger to
human  health or  the environment.  In
response, EPA developed a site assessment
process to evaluate and screen sites within
the  Supertund  program.     The  main
components of the site assessment process
(see figure on next page) are:

    CERCLIS.   The  CERCLA  Information
    System (CERCLIS) is EPA's data base to
    record and track activities  at  all sites
    discovered. EPA learns of sites in many
    ways, including federal  programs, state
    and  local   programs,  and   citizen
    notifications.

    Preliminary Assessment.  EPA or the
    state conducts a preliminary assessment
    (PA) at every site entered into CERCLIS.
    The PA — a relatively low cost review of
    available information — determines if the
    site warrants further CERCLA  action.
    After the PA, EPA decides either to send
    the  site  forward  in the  assessment
    process or to classify the site as NFRAP
    (no further remedial   action   planned
    under CERCLA).

    Site Inspection. The site inspection (SI)
    involves more detailed  data collection,
    including   environmental  sampling.
    Based  on  the   SI,   EPA    either
    recommends  scoring the site  with the
    Hazard Ranking  System  (MRS)  or
    classifies the site as NFRAP.

    Hazard Ranking System.  The MRS
    uses information gathered during the PA
    and SI to screen  and  identify sites
    consistently for the National  Priorities
    List (NPL).   The MRS  results in  a
    numerical score that is  used  to  set
    priorities  for  more  detailed  site
    investigation. In general,  sites scoring
    28.50 and above are added to the NPL,
    and sites  scoring  below 28.50  are
    classified as NFRAP.

    National  Priorities  List.    The  NPL
    identifies sites that warrant more detailed
    evaluation   and   possible   remedial
    response. Adding sites to the NPL is a
    rulemaking process—sites are proposed
    for the NPL in the Federal Register, the
    proposal is subject to public  comment,
    and those sites with MRS scores that
    remain   above  28.50   after   public
    comment become final NPL sites.

    This report is one in a series providing
information on the nature of the sites being
evaluated by the Superfund site assessment
program.   It is  intended to  provide a
"snapshot" of sites in Region 6 on the NPL
as of February 1991.  Separate reports are
available for the other nine EPA Regions and
for the nation as a whole. Other reports in
this   series   cover   the   CERCLIS
characterization  project, which   provides
representative information on the types of
sites in the CERCLIS inventory.   National
and  Regional   CERCLIS  characterization
reports also are available.
1.1    PROJECT OBJECTIVES

   In 1989, EPA  undertook a project to
characterize sites on the NPL. The project's
main objectives were to:

•  increase   understanding   of   the
   characteristics of NPL sites;

•  develop a centralized repository for NPL
   site information; and

•  summarize  the  types  of  sites  the
   Superfund program is addressing.

-------
    Because the characterization is based
on   information   collected   during   the
screening stages of the Superfund process,
it  does  not  represent a comprehensive
characterization  of NPL  sites.   The  site
assessment program is a screening program
— hundreds of sites pass through the PA and
SI stages annually. EPA's understanding of
sites  may change  after more  detailed
investigations  are conducted  during  the
remedial stage of the Superfund process.
The figure on the previous page  illustrates
the position of the site assessment stage in
the context of the overall Superfund process.
This report provides  a summary  of  the
characteristics of NPL sites in Region 6 as
they are understood at the time of listing.
1.2    GENERAL METHODOLOGY

    The   NPL   characterization   project
evaluated 1218 sites — the 1189 sites on the
NPL as of February 1991 plus 29 sites that
have been deleted from the NPL because all
appropriate  response actions  have  been
taken.   (Four  sites deleted early in NPL
history were not included.) The 79 sites that
were proposed for the NPL but subsequently
dropped from further consideration were not
included. The proposed sites were dropped
because  of  policy  issues or because their
MRS scores fell below 28.50 (the cutoff point
for listing) after public comment.

    The table below indicates the number of
sites  in   each   EPA  Region  that  were
reviewed.  Of the 71 sites located in Region
6, two had  been  deleted as of February
1991.

    EPA published  the original MRS on July
16, 1982  (47 FR  31180). The Superfund
Amendments and Reauthorization Act  of
1986 (SARA) required EPA to revise the MRS
to assess more accurately the relative risk
posed by waste sites. The revised MRS was
published on December  14, 1990 (55 FR
51532).   The NPL characterization project
evaluated the complete set of sites that were
listed based on the original MRS (with the
exception of four deleted sites  as noted
above).   Sites  listed on  the  basis of the
revised MRS were not evaluated.

    Data for the NPL characterization project
were collected in two stages. First, the final
MRS package for each site (filed at the EPA
Headquarters   Superfund  Docket)   was
reviewed.  Then, any data gaps were filled
by reviewing the Regional site files.
1.3    RESULTS

   The results of this report are presented
in chart form in  Chapters  3 through  9.
These charts include information about: site
description, owner/generator, regulatory and
response  history,   MRS  scoring,  waste
description, site environment, and water use.
The box at the bottom of the next  page
provides information to  assist the reader in
interpreting the charts.

   Listed below are notable findings of the
NPL characterization project for Region 6.

•  Almost 60% of NPL sites in Region 6 are
   located in rural  areas;  approximately
   13% are located in  urban areas (Chart
   1).

•  Over half of  Region   6  NPL  sites
   manage(d) wastes in industrial landfills;

Over 40% of Region  6 NPL sites are
owned by private industry; about 10%
are owned by the federal government
(Chart 7).

More  than a quarter of NPL sites in
Region 6 are active facilities (Chart 9).

Nearly 60% of  NPL sites in  Region 6
contain  wastes   generated   by
manufacturing industries (Chart 10).

Nearly half of Region 6 NPL sites were
identified  through  state  and   local
programs (Chart 17).

Over half of  NPL sites in Region 6 have
released  hazardous   substances  to
ground  water;  more  than 45%  have
released  hazardous   substances  to
surface water (Chart 23).
    Nearly half of Region 6 NPL sites have a
    sensitive  environment  within 3 miles
    (Chart 33).

    Over 80% of Region  6 NPL sites have
    operable wells within 1 mile (Chart 39).
1.4    ORGANIZATION OF DOCUMENT

   This document consists of nine chapters
and three appendices.  Chapter 2 provides
more detailed information on data collection
activities and includes the data collection
form and instructions. Chapters 3 through 9
present the results in chart form.  Appendix
A lists all of the individual responses for the
"other" response  category, which  are not
displayed separately  on  the  charts  in
Chapters 3 through 9.  Appendix B lists the
sites reviewed,  and Appendix C contains a
map that shows the locations of these sites.
                       INFORMATION ABOUT THE CHARTS

   Data were generated from a review of NPL site files in 1989. Except where noted, charts depict
   information for all 71 sites reviewed in Region 6 — 69 that were on the NPL as of February
   1991, and two that  had been deleted because all appropriate response actions have been
   taken.

   Efforts were made to characterize site conditions/surroundings as they existed at the time of
   the HRS score. The HRS scoring package and associated references served as the primary
   information source.

   Percentages on some charts do not total exactly 100 percent due to rounding.

   Percentages on some bar charts total to greater than 100 percent because multiple responses
   to certain questions were possible.

-------
CHAPTER 2:  DATA COLLECTION METHODS
    Before the NPL characterization project,
information on  Region 6 NPL sites was
available in individual  site  files  at EPA
Headquarters and the Regional office. The
project compiled and centralized site-specific
information on  the characteristics  of these
NPL sites. This chapter describes the data
collection activities.  The table on the next
page  summarizes the process  used  to
collect data.
2.1     DATA COLLECTION
       PROCEDURES

   After developing the overall approach to
the   NPL  characterization  project,  EPA
prepared a data collection form (see Section
2.4).  The design of the form was based in
part  on the form used for the CERCLIS
characterization  project,    an   earlier
companion  project.  A few new questions
were added and some existing questions
were modified to capture information  more
pertinent to a study  of  NPL  sites.    An
instruction manual (see Section 2.5) was
developed  to  promote  consistency and
accuracy in data collection.   The  data
collection  form  and  instruction  manual
should be consulted for a full explanation of
the  definitions  used in the  report.   Data
collection procedures were tested on Region
10 sites.  As a result,  a few  modifications
were made to the data collection form. The
modified form, as shown in Section 2.4, was
used in Region 6 as well as the other eight
Regions.
stage of the data collection  process by
reviewing  MRS  scoring  packages  at  the
Headquarters  Superfund  Docket.    The
second stage involved filling in data gaps at
the Region 6 office.  Information  reviewed
included  HRS scoring package reference
documents such as SI reports,  PA reports,
maps, and records of telephone contacts.
After data for all Regions were collected and
verified,  the  project  team compiled  one
national data base.  The data base was then
analyzed to calculate  response frequencies
for each of the data fields.
2.3    QUALITY ASSURANCE/
       QUALITY CONTROL

   The first level of quality assurance/quality
control (QA/QC), conducted at the Regional
office,  involved  comparing the  information
collected at EPA  Headquarters  with the
information  'available in  the  Region and,
where  necessary,   resolving  differences.
After information on the data collection forms
was  entered into the data base,  the data
base  was  reviewed to  ensure  that the
information  had been properly transferred.
A second level  QA/QC involved reviewing
the   data   base  for   completeness,
consistency, and accuracy. In addition, the
graphics  produced  for this and  all  other
reports were checked for consistency with
the data base.
2.2    SOURCE OF DATA

2.5   DATA COLLECTION FORM INSTRUCTIONS1

      The NPL Statistics Data Collection Form has been designed to standardize hazardous
waste site information for input into a data base.  This data base will be used to perform a
statistical characterization of waste sites on the NPL  All proposed and final NPL  sites will be
reviewed for data compilation, including former final sites  deleted from the NPL because the
Agency determined that no further response was necessary. The NPL Statistics Data Collection
Form is designed so that all required  information can be obtained by a review  of the MRS
package and supporting materials contained in Regional EPA NPL files.

      It is important that all questions on the form be answered even if the appropriate answer
is "unknown."  Estimates based on best professional judgment are allowed, but hard  data are
preferred.  In some cases, the response "other" can be used along with a brief narrative if the
available choices  do  not adequately describe the site or situation.  Additional information to
support the use of this category should be included in the "Comments" section at the end of the
form. RESPONDENTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO USE THE "OTHER" CATEGORY AS MUCH AS
NEEDED.

      The Data Collection Form contains six sections which are listed  below. The name of the
file reviewer should be written on the front in the top margin.  The form should be completed in
dark pencil so that later  QA/QC corrections to the form  will still- result in an easily legible
document for data entry purposes.

      Section 1 -  Record Information, which provides basic identification information;

      Section 2 -  Site Description, which describes the ownership, status,  and history  of the
                 site;

      Section 3 -  Waste  Description, which describes  the  types and quantities of wastes
                 present at the site;

      Section 4 -  Environmental/Demographic Information, which provides information  on water
                 supply, population, and environmental damage;

      Section 5 -  Regulatory and Response History, which covers any regulatory  activity that
                 occurred prior to CERCLA involvement and includes RCRA status;

      Section 6 -  Comments, which provides space for a brief description of the site, including
                 a list of contaminants and comments  on data availability or  associated
                 problems with completing the form. Explanations of "other" responses should
                 also be given here.

Section 1 - Record Information

      1.    Site  Number: This is the number by which the site will be identified  in the data
           base.  It is essential that this number be entered correctly on the form.  The Site
           Number is the seven digit, Regional ID number for that site, usually marked on the
   1 This section is a slightly edited version of the actual instruction manual that
accompanied the data collection form.

                                         11

-------
            MRS scoring package cover page.   In the case of some  proposed sites, an ID
            number indicating the Update Number is given and should be used. When entering
            the Site Number, it is required that the commonly accepted two letter abbreviation
            for the state's name precede the Regional ID number (or other number) for the site.

            NOTE:      If no identification number is available,  use any reasonable means of
                       numbering, but  remember  to precede the number  with the  state
                       abbreviation.

      2.     Site Name:  This  is the name of the site as  identified  on the NPL.  Copy the
            complete name of the site in the space provided. Also, enter the location of the site
            (town/county and state) directly below the site name.

Section 2 - Site Description

      1.     Coordinates:  Enter the coordinates, latitude and longitude, of the site in degrees,
            minutes, seconds, and tenths of seconds. If tenths of a second are not given, enter
            zero as a default value in the appropriate space. If no coordinates are available at
            all, leave blank and mark "unknown," while specifying site location (eg., township
            and range)  in the collection  form's "Comments" section.  Because latitude and
            longitude provide  necessary input  for  interaction  with  other data bases, it is
            particularly important that these values or descriptions be included.

      2.     Setting:  Setting is a qualitative measure of population density near the  site.  Mark
            the appropriate  box to indicate the  character of the area surrounding the site.
            "Urban"  indicates  central city areas, "suburban"  Indicates sites  bordering  or
            surrounding urban areas, and "rural" indicates sites outside suburban areas. Select
            the one setting that best describes the site. This information may be derived from
            an accompanying map.  Generally, the number of homes and/or industrial buildings
            indicated on a map may be used to  estimate the site setting. Since the character
            of the area is relative to population density, a site in the center of a city  such as
            Roanoke Rapids, which is located in rural  North Carolina,  would be classified as
            "urban."

      3.     Location Land Use/Site Use: The predominant land uses  within approximately 1
            mile of the  site  location should be  determined and all appropriate descriptions
            identified.  If the land immediately  adjacent to or  on site is used for activities
            associated with large numbers of people, or a sensitive environment which could
            increase the risk posed by the site,  describe the appropriate land/site  use in the
            "other" category. Examples of "others" include:

            •  railroad                          • school/college
            •  airport                          • harbor/marina
            •  sports complex                   • federal/state park
            •  wetland

            Mining, military, or DOE should be checked only if they correspond to  actual site
            use  or immediately  adjacent site use.  Additionally,  if  the  site or area had a
            predominant historical usage (e.g., railroad yard, landfill, power substation), identify
            this in the "other" category with the words "past" or "previous."
                                          12

-------
4.     Current Ownership:  Check one appropriate box to indicate the type of ownership
      of the site at the time of the HRS score.  For purposes of this data field, operators
      may  be characterized as "owners" if ownership distinctions are not made.   For
      consistency, treat the following situations as detailed below:

      •     If ownership/operation  is by multiple individuals, businesses, or industries,
            indicate "other" and state the condition. However, if all owners belong to the
            same category, it is not necessary to put this under "other;" simply check the
            appropriate category.

      •     When  the  site  is a contaminated ground water plume,  as defined by
            contaminated  wells, mark "other"  and enter "contaminated ground water
            plume."

5.     Ownership When Contaminated:  Check the appropriate box to indicate the type
      of ownership at the time the site was contaminated. As in item #4, ownership refers
      to owner and/or operator if a distinction is not made.   Procedures for ownership
      when contaminated are similar to current ownership.

6.     Area of Site: Indicate the area of the site, along  with the appropriate units.  The
      area of the site includes the "source" of the waste and the area that  has come to be
      contaminated. If the area of the site is reported as a range, use the midpoint of the
      range.  Again, this data field is intended to capture the area of contamination.  So,
      for example, if there is a large facility but only a small area is actually contaminated,
      only  the area of contamination should be entered.  If  the specific area of
      contamination is  unknown, use the area of the facility, if reasonable  (use best
      professional judgment), and note this in the "Comments" section. For ground water
      contamination plume sites, area refers to the planar area of the plume. Generally,
      the area of the site will be given in the narrative that accompanies the HRS scoring
      package.

7.     Site Status:  Check the appropriate box to indicate the  status of the site at the time
      of the HRS score. Sites are to be considered "active"  if waste treatment, storage,
      or disposal activities are taking place at the time of the HRS score.  These activities
      do not necessarily have to be those that resulted  in the site being considered for
      the NPL Sites that have changed ownership or operations  are  still considered
      "active" if the new operations possibly involve hazardous materials/wastes. "Inactive"
      sites are those at which treatment, storage, or disposal activities no longer occur.
      For consistency, address the following conditions  as described below:

      •     Check "active" for those sites that currently have both  active and inactive
            treatment, storage, or disposal units.

      •     Consider contaminated ground water plume sites "active."

8.     Years of Operation:  Enter the  beginning and ending years of waste treatment,
      storage, and/or disposal at the site.  If the site is "active," enter the HRS date for the
      ending date.  Check "unknown" if the beginning or ending years of operation are not
      known.  For  consistency: if waste activities occurred  during only  one year  (e.g.,
      one-time  event, accidental spill), the years of operation of the facility should be
                                    13

-------
      entered, and noted in the "Comments" section. If the site is a contaminated ground
      water plume, use a default value of 0001 and 0001 for the beginning and ending
      years.

9.     Industry Responsible for Generating Material: Check all appropriate boxes that
      indicate industries responsible for generating the wastes that occur at the site. This
      refers to the industry responsible for the  waste,  not the original  product.  For
      example, if a hardware store has drums of pesticides which  leak, the industry
      responsible is "retail" and not "manufacturing." It is important to try to categorize the
      industry into one of the types listed for statistical analysis.  If these listed industry
      types aren't applicable, check "other."  Further information may be provided under
      the "Comments" section.

      For consistency among respondents, please note the following  guidelines:

      •    If the site is a military facility, only "military" should be checked.

      •    Only check the "unknown" category if little or no information is available on
           the responsible industry or industries.

      •    "Food and kindred products" refers to food packaging/processing industries
           (e.g., canneries, bottlers) and the manufacturing of home goods such as
           toothpaste, shampoo, and cosmetics.

      •    "Chemicals and allied products" also includes paint manufacturing.

      •    Mark "electroplating" for any type of metal coating or metal finishing industry,
           unless the industry employs another type of coating  as the  predominant
           activity (e.g., paint, plastic).

      •    For the majority of cases, the  "other" category should be used if a specific
           general or subcategory of another type is not obvious.  Examples of "other"
           categories include:

           —    combination industrial/        —    correctional facility
                 municipal landfill              —    distributor (gas, oil)
           —    industrial landfill              —    salvage yard
           —    waste storage/transfer         —    aircraft-related
                 facility                             service
           —    POTW                       —    radium processing

10.   Site Activities/Waste Deposition: Check  all appropriate boxes to indicate what
      types of treatment, storage, or disposal operations occur/occurred at the site.  If the
      available categories are not sufficient to characterize the activities occurring at the
      site, check "other" and supply a description. For consistency among respondents,
      please  note the following guidelines:

      •    "Surface impoundments" should be restricted to primarily liquid containment.

      •    "Waste piles" may be covered  or uncovered.
                                    14

-------
      •     "Industrial dump" refers to an illegal waste pile of industrial trash, chemicals,
           debris, etc.

      •     "Illegal dumping" ("out the back door") indicates situations where wastes are
           intentionally disposed  of in  undesignated disposal areas (e.g.,  dumping
           liquids and sludges onto the ground).

      •     "Episodic open dump" is a site at which third parties illegally dump wastes,
           often times without the knowledge or approval of the site owner/operator.
           Note that "episodic open dump" may be an appropriate category even for a
           permitted facility if, for example, area residents or industries dispose of wastes
           at the site without authorization.

      •     'Tanks — above  ground" should be checked when  the type of tank  is not
           indicated, unless the site is a gasoline retail station.

      •     "Other sludge activity" refers to any sludge disposal action which cannot
           adequately be described by the other categories.

      •     "Discharge to sewer" should be checked when wastes have been intentionally
           discharged to either a sewer or a surface water body.  This category does not
           refer to wastes entering sewers or surface water as a  result of secondary run-
           off.  Permitted discharges should be noted in this category as well as in the
           "Regulatory Activities" section.

      •     "Airborne release" should be checked when incinerators, boilers, fire or burn
           pits, excessive dust, etc., are present at the site.

      •     "Drum/container storage" refers to intentional storage in specific areas.

      •     "Spills" are accidental in nature, mostly one time only occurrences. Leaking
           drums do not qualify as spills.

      Once again, try to categorize the activities or check "other" and give a description.
      Examples of legitimate "others" include:

      •     pesticide applications               •     wash pads
      •     septic tanks and  leach fields         •     sumps
      •     dust suppression                   •     dry wells

11.    How Identified:  Check the appropriate box to indicate how the site was initially
      identified to the EPA Superfund Program.  "Incidental" should be checked if the site
      was identified as a result of fortuitously driving by it, or by investigating another site.
      Anonymous complaints are categorized  as "citizen complaints."  "Other Federal
      program" should be marked  for site identification through  programs such as the
      DOD Installation Restoration Program.  Examples of  possible "other" categories
      include Congressional inquiry (e.g., Eckhardt list) and  ERRIS listing.

12.    Material Deposited By:  Indicate the entity  responsible for the  actual waste
      deposition. For example, "present owner" would be checked if a private individual
                                    15

-------
      authorized the dumping of chemical wastes on his property. However, 'third party"
      would be checked in the same scenario if the property owner had not authorized the
      dumping. Again, for this category, "owner" refers to owner and/or operator.  For
      consistency, check 'third party" for all contaminated ground water plume sites.

13.   Date Discovered:  Enter two digits for the month, day, and year that the site was
      identified to the EPA Superfund Program.  For example, June 27, 1982, would be
      entered as 06/27/82. In the event that the day or month is unknown, use 01 as the
      default value for each.  If the date cannot be determined, check "unknown."

14.   Material Source: Indicate whether the waste material was generated on site and/or
      off site,  as  appropriate.   Recyclers are considered "on-site generators."   For
      consistency, check "off-site generator" for contaminated ground water plume sites.

15.   Waste Easily  Accessible:  Indicate whether or not the waste is easily accessible
      to the general  public.  On-site workers should not be considered for this data field.
      Items to be considered in  judging accessibility  include complete cover over the
      waste area or a secure fence around the site. For example, waste material exposed
      at the surface  in a park or playground is easily accessible, while waste exposed at
      the  surface of a site surrounded  by  a locked chain-link fence is  not easily
      accessible.  For consistency, the waste should be considered not easily accessible
      for contaminated  ground water plume sites.

16.   First Proposed: Check the appropriate box identifying in which update the site was
      first  proposed  in the Federal Register (this is usually listed under site  name on the
      NPL folder).

17.   NPL Status:  Check the NPL status of the site  as of proposed Update #9,  July
      1989. The NPL status of sites to be proposed for Update #10 should  be  marked
      as proposed.

18.   CERCLIS Number: Enter the 12-digit CERCLIS number (usually on the SI form or
      CERCLIS printout).

19.   MRS Score: Enter the MRS site score (Sm) from the MRS scoring package. If the
      scoring has  been amended, use the most recent score. In the "Comments" section,
      indicate the  score for each  of the migration pathways.

20.   Miscellaneous  Descriptive  Information:   Identify,  as  appropriate,  multiple
      ownership or emergency action conditions.  Examples of "other emergency action"
      include:

      • well closing                     •  fences
      • distribution  of bottled water        •  consent decrees

      Additionally, the presence of lead (Pb) at a site should be noted in the appropriate
      data field.
                                    16

-------
Section 3 - Waste Description

      For data fields #1-3, wastes have been divided into three major groupings based on the
physical state of the waste: solid, liquid, and sludge. The physical state of the waste refers to
the waste as deposited and is usually identified as such in the MRS package or in the PA or SI.
For example, slurries are identified as either liquid or sludge, rarely as solid.  The presence of
each of these waste states at the site needs to be determined, along with the quantities involved.
Each  waste state grouping has been further divided into the type of waste deposited. The
procedure for completing this section, which should be followed for each waste  state, is as
follows:

      1-3  Solids, Liquids,  Sludges:  First determine if the particular waste state being
           evaluated ("solid" will be  used here as an example) is/was present at the site.  If
           solid wastes are/were not present, check "none."  If solids are/were present, then
           mark the appropriate waste type. If the subcategories listed are not sufficient to
           characterize the particular  waste stream,  check  "other."  As with the previous
           sections, the evaluator should use the categories presented if possible, or check
           "other" and provide a brief description.  Some examples of "other" waste streams
           include:

            •  spent fuel                        •  biological waste (animal carcasses)
            •  drilling muds (sludge)             •  batteries
            •  dust                            •  construction debris
            •  agricultural waste

           Finally, total the quantities of all waste streams and fill in the amount in the space
           provided. Remember to mark the appropriate units.

           NOTE:      Identify the specific contaminants found at the site  in the  upper right
                      hand corner  of the "Comments" section.

Section 4 - Environmental/Demographic Information

      1.    Demographics:

           a.     Distance to Nearest Population:  If known, provide the distance from the site
                 boundary to the nearest population.  Also, indicate the unit of measure that
                 was used. Population includes those persons occupying houses, apartment
                 buildings, schools,  and businesses.  Use maps, if available, to provide best
                 estimates. If there is an on-site resident population, use 10 feet as a default
                 value.

           b.     Population Within  1 Mile?: If there is a population within 1 mile of the site,
                 check 'yes" and enter the number of people within this radius.   When the
                 number of individual residences is known, the convention is to multiply by 3.8
                 individuals/residence  and use the product value as a reasonable population
                 estimate. If a reasonable population estimate cannot be determined, check
                 •yes" and leave the number field blank.  A  map may be used to determine
                 population. If no appropriate information is in the file, check "unknown."
                                          17

-------
      c.    Population Within 3 Miles?:  Follow the same procedures as described
           above.   Again,  a map may be useful.   If data are available regarding
           population within 4 miles of the site, indicate this and use the information. If
           this information is not in the file, mark "unknown."  By definition, if there is
           population within 1 mile of the site, there is also population within 3 miles of
           the site.

2.     Actual Environmental Damage Reported, Potential Population Affected: Indicate
      whether actual environmental damage has been reported at this site. Note that this
      does not include potential damage, only documented cases of actual impacts. For
      example, if the PA report states that leachate was observed entering an adjacent
      stream  or wetland, this can be considered an actual surface water impact, even if
      sampling results are not available.  If 'yes," indicate the type of damage that was
      reported and estimate the population  that could potentially be affected.  If the
      potential population is  not known, write "unknown" in the space provided.  Please
      note that, by definition, if an "HRS-observed release" has been scored for a given
      pathway, then an environmental impact has been reported for that pathway.

      NOTE:      The number for potential population is often provided on the PA or SI
                 form.

3.     Observed Releases:  Indicate whether an observed release of contaminants has
      been documented.  This information is available in the  MRS scoring package.

4.     Water Supply Information for a 3-Mile Radius:
                                                     S
      a.    Local Drinking  Water Supply Source:  Identify whether  drinking water
           supplies are drawn from surface water and/or ground water within 3 miles of
           the site.   If, for example, the local area has a reservoir but  some houses
           within 3 miles still use  wells, then check "surface and ground water."  If all
           drinking water sources are outside of the 3-mile radius, this should be noted
           as "none."

      b.    Total Population Served:  If available, provide the number of people served
           by the water supply system indicated in #4a.   Note  that this population
           should reflect the population served by a source within 3 miles of the site; it
           may be more or less than  the total population within 3  miles.  For example,
           if a well located two miles  from the site is used to serve the population of a
           city of 60,000, the entire population of the city should be included even if the
           city  itself is outside of the  3-mile radius.   If there is no drinking water
           population (all sources are outside 3-mile radius), use a default value of 01.

      c.    Drinking Water  Supply System Type:  Indicate the type of water supply
           system for the sources  identified under #4a. "Municipal" should be indicated
           for any central water supply system, even if it is operated by a private water
           company, utility,  or individual (e.g., trailer park serviced by one privately
           owned well).
                                    18

-------
      d.    Ground Water Data:

           Other Local  Ground Water Uses:   Check all  appropriate boxes for
           predominant uses  of ground  water  other  than drinking  water supply.
           Monitoring wells should not be considered. Some examples of "other" uses
           include commercial and dust control.

           Wells Within 1 Mile?: If there are operable wells within 1 mile of the site,
           check "yes" and indicate the total  number of wells used for any  purpose,
           excluding monitoring wells.

           Wells Within 3 Miles?: If there are operable wells within 3 miles of the site,
           check "yes" and indicate the total  number of wells used for any  purpose,
           excluding monitoring wells.

           Distance to Nearest Well: Provide the distance  from the site boundary to
           the nearest operable well, excluding monitoring wells. Indicate what unit of
           measure was used.  If the well is located on site, use 10 feet as  a default
           value. Note that by MRS definitions, the site boundary can be  extended to
           the farthest point of documented contamination attributable to the  site.

           Depth to the Uppermost Used Aquifer: Provide the depth from the ground
           surface to the uppermost aquifer that is or may be used.  If the uppermost
           aquifer is no longer used because  of contamination attributable to the site,
           the depth to this aquifer should be entered.  Always indicate  the unit of
           measure used. If a range of depth is given, use the midpoint value for the
           data field. Use a default value of 7 foot if waste was directly deposited below
           the water level of the uppermost used aquifer.

           NOTE:      "Depth to the Uppermost Used Aquifer"  is often provided  in the
                       MRS scoring package.

      e.    Surface Water Data:

           Other Local Surface  Water Uses:  Mark  all appropriate boxes for uses of
           surface water, other than  drinking water supply, within 3 miles.

           Surface Water Adjacent to/Draining Site: Identify all types of surface water
           adjacent to or draining the site that could potentially be affected by overland
           runoff from the site.  Use professional judgment and MRS definitions as
           necessary.

           Distance  to  Nearest Downstream Intake:   Provide the distance to  the
           nearest downstream intake in feet or miles, if known.

5.     Ecological  Information:

      Is Site In Or Near Sensitive Environment?: Sensitive environments are defined as
      estuaries, 100 year floodplains,  critical habitats  (Federally designated only) and
      some coastal areas.  If the site is in or near one of these environments, indicate the
                                    19

-------
           type of sensitive environment and whether the site is "in" or "near" the environment.
           "Near" is considered to be within a 3-mile radius.

      6.    Pathways of Concern: Check all pathways that received a score greater than zero
           in the MRS scoring package.  When reviewing the  MRS scoring package, please
           note the actual score for each pathway in the "Comments" section.

Section 5 - Regulatory and Response History

      1.    Regulatory Activities Prior to Preliminary Assessment:  Indicate any regulatory
           activities that occurred at the site prior to the PA. Examples of these activities could
           include RCRA notification or inspections, NPDES permits and/or exceedences, State
           health department inspections  of landfills and/or DOD  Installation  Restoration
           Program activities ("other Federal program" category).

      2.    RCRA Status: Indicate the appropriate RCRA  category. If the site is not a RCRA
           site, check "not applicable."  Ground water contamination plume sites are to be
           included in the "not applicable" category.

Section 6 • Comments

      This section is not an optional segment of the data collection form.  It must be completed,
at a minimum, with a brief narrative description of site conditions, including  any discussion or
clarification of the .information presented elsewhere on the form.  In addition, each form must be
quality control checked for completeness, and initialed by another evaluator in the lower right
corner of page 4.  The "Comments" section is a crucial component of the data collection form;
verbosity is encouraged.
