 Superfund's
 Remedial
 Response
 Program
   The blueprint for the Super-
 fund program under the
 Comprehensive Environmen-
 tal Response, Compensation,
 and Liability Act of 1980
 (CERCLA) is the National Con-
 tingency Plan (NCR), first pub-
 lished in 1968 as part of the
 Federal water pollution control
 program. CERCLA ordered re-
 vision of the NCR to provide
 new Federal authority to re-
> spond to the problems of
j abandoned or uncontrolled
 hazardous waste disposal sites
 and to a greater range of
 hazardous substances than
 previously controlled. In con-
sultation with 13 Federal agen-
cies, EPA published the NCR in
final form on July 16,1982.
  Oil spills will continue to be
handled as they have been in
the past. For spills threatening
coastal waters, the Coast
Guard takes the lead respon-
sibility; for inland spills, EPA
takes the lead.
  TheCERCLA-basedNCP
lays out three types of respon-
ses for incidents involving
hazardous substances.
• Immediate removal,  which
  requires prompt response
  to prevent immediate and
  significant harm to human
  life, health, or the environ-
  ment. Generally, immediate
  removals must be com-
  pleted in 6 months or after
  expenditure of $1 million.
• Planned removal, which is
  needed when an expedited,
  but not necessarily im-
  mediate, response is re-
  quired. The 6-month or $1
  million-limitation also applies.
  These two types of re-
sponses are modifications of
the earlier program under the
Clean Water Act. The third is a
new type of response in-
tended to deal with the
longer-term problem of aban-
doned or uncontrolled sites:
• Remedial response, which
  requires more time and
  money and is intended to
  achieve a solution consist-
  ent with permanent rem-
  edy. EPA, in partnership
  with the States, takes the
  Federal lead in all remedial
  response actions, coordinat-
  ing its activities with the 13
Federal agencies involved
in the NCR The agencies
most often called upon are
the Federal Emergency
Management Agency, De-
partment of Health and
Human Services, and De-
partment of Justice.

                                                          vate industry— such as this
                                                          one at the Chem-Dyne site
                                                          in Hamilton, Ohio — are im-
                                                          portant for augmenting the
                                                          Trust Fund.  EPA negotiated
                                                          an agreement in which  112
                                                          parties responsible for
                                                          hazardous wastes at the
                                                          site will pay $2.4 million
                                                          toward the cost of surface
                                                          cleanup.

  Choosing the appropriate
remedy is a lengthy process.
First the problem must be de-
fined. Then the remedial ac-
tion must be planned in detail.
EPA's Office of Emergency and
Remedial Response, working
closely with its Regional Of-
fices, tailors each remedial re-
sponse to the specific needs of
the site.
  Defining the problem in-
volves three steps. First the
site must be discovered and
screened according to specific
criteria. Then it is evaluated
and ranked according to
guidelines in the NCR

     Discovery/Screening
                        EPA learns of hazardous
                      waste sites through a variety
                      of ways. Some have been
                      identified through other EPA
                      programs —for example,
                      those under the Safe Drinking
                      Water Act and RCRA. EPA Re-
                      gional Offices and many
                      States have compiled inven-
                      tories of sites in their jurisdic-
                      tions. Also, CERCLA required

-------
that owners or operators of
facilities handling hazardous
substances notify EPA by June
1981 of their activities. This
process identified about 9,000
sites, many of them already
known to EPA. Concerned citi-
zens also called the toll-free
number of the National Re-
sponse Center to report sites.
EPA screened these various
sources of information and
consolidated them into an
inventory of currently over
16,000 potential sites where
hazardous substances are
stored, treated, or disposed of
in an unregulated manner.
  Site evaluation involves a
sequence of investigations to
determine the extent of con-
tamination at a site and to
provide a data base sufficient
to identify the most appropri-
ate response. This could be:
no further action, additional
investigation, emergency re-
sponse, development of an
enforcement action, or reme-
dial response.
  The following steps are
taken to investigate — at least
cost —the hazards at a site:
• Preliminary assessment:
  collection and review of all
  information available for a
given site to evaluate the
source and nature of the
hazardous substances pres-
ent and to determine if a
responsible party can be
identified.
Site inspection: Various
degrees of on-site investiga-
tions conducted to deter-
mine the extent of the  prob-
lem and to gather the data
needed to set priorities. The
emphasis is on contamina-
tion pathways that affect
human health. A typical site
inspection involves sam-
pling, surveying, monitor-
ing, reconnaissance, and
other field activities to  de-
fine the problem. It may in-
volve a hydrogeological and
  geological assessment.
  These investigations be-
  come the basis for a report
  that identifies types of
  wastes present, estimates
  their amounts, and de-
  scribes how they are stored
  or disposed of; proposes a
  safety plan to protect in-
  spectors and nearby resi-
  dents; and  evaluates the
  impact on the area around
  the site.
  Hazardous  waste sites are
evaluated primarily by Field
Investigation Teams stationed
at the EPA Regional Offices.
These teams are staffed by
over 230 trained professionals
with a breadth of technical
skills.

-------
           Ranking
  CERCLA calls for compiling
a National Priorities List of at
least 400 hazardous waste
sites as candidates for remed-
ial action. The data gathered in
the evaluation process provide
the basis for ranking the sites,
taking into account these
criteria:
o Possible risk to the
   population
o  Hazard  potential of sub-
   stances at the site
o  Potential for contaminating
   drinking water supplies and
   other pathways that affect
   human health
o  Potential for destruction of
   sensitive ecosystems
   EPA also evaluates the need
for removal actions at sites
posing immediate threats to
health or the environment.
The potential for direct con-
tact, fires, and explosions is
given special consideration.

 In October 1981, EPA compiled
 an Interim Priorities List of 115
 hazardous waste sites. They
 were nominated by the EPA
 Regional  Offices and the
 States, primarily on the basis
 of potential threat to public
 health, but the threat to the
environment was also taken
into account. In addition, each
State was encouraged to des-
ignate its top priority site. A
State or Region rated each site
it nominated according to a
Hazard Ranking System,
which measures pollution via
three pathways — air, ground
water, and surface water — for
potential impacts.
  In July 1982, with some kind
of action under way on almost
all of the 115 sites, EPA added
45 new sites to the Interim List.
All 160 sites on the Interim List
were considered for inclusion
on the National Priority List
(NPL). In December 1982, EPA
proposed a list of 418 sites in
the Federal Register. The sites
were identified by the same
process used to develop the
Interim List. On March 4,1983,
Times Beach, Missouri, was
added.
  In September 1983, EPA
published the first final NPL,
which consisted of 406 sites.
At the same time, 133 new
sites were proposed for addi-
tion, meeting the CERCLA re-
quirement that the list be up-
dated at least annually.
  A priority site can be
cleaned up in several ways:
o The responsible party can
  clean it up voluntarily.
o The State or local govern-
  ment can choose to assume
  all, or almost all, of the re-
  sponsibility to clean it up
  without tapping the Trust
  Fund.
o The responsible party may
  be forced to clean it up by
  legal action.
o The Trust Fund may be
  used to finance the cleanup
  if the site cannot be cleaned
  by any of the first three al-
  ternatives. If there are prob-
  lems in getting the respon-
  sible party to act, EPA will
  proceed under Superfund
  and seek later to recover
  costs by legal action.

Superfund in the Field
Council Bluffs, Iowa
  The Aidex Corp. site in
Council Bluffs is the top-
priority site in Iowa. Man-
agement practices at a
now-abandoned plant for
formulating and packaging
pesticides had left a large
quantity of liquid and solid
pesticide material scattered
about. A fire in 1976 wors-
ened conditions by exten-
sively contaminating the soil
with water used in fighting
the fire. To ensure the safety
of workers on site, EPA's
Field Investigation Team,
wearing protective gear,
checks the air for volatile
organic compounds.
f


-------
  Detailed planning is neces-
sary if EPA is to make rapid,
consistent, and rational deci-
sions in implementing reme-
dial actions under Superfund.
The objective is to determine
the "appropriate extent of
remedy"—the least expensive
remedy that is technologically
feasible and reliable, effec-
tively reduces the danger, and
adequately protects public
health, welfare, and the envi-
ronment. The planning proc-
ess consists of these elements:
0 Initial planning
o Remedial investigation
o Feasibility study
o Selection of a remedy
o Remedial design/
  construction
                                     Initial Planning
  Determining the scope of
prospective remedial activities
is the primary focus of the ini-
tial planning phase. The NCR
identifies three actions, based
on the complexity, immediacy,
and extent of the hazards.
Some or all may be taken at
any one site. The three actions
are:
o Initial remedial measures:
  taken when appropriate ac-
  tions are limited in nature
  and require a minimum of
  planning. Examples include
  construction offences,
  stabilization of dikes or
  waste impoundments,
  temporary provision of al-
  ternative water supplies,
  and removal of above-
  ground drums or bulk tanks
  leaking hazardous
  substances.
Source-control actions:
taken when substantial con-
centrations of hazardous
substances remain on-site,
barriers to retard their mi-
gration are inadequate, and
there is a serious threat to
public health, welfare, or the
environment. Examples in-
clude installation of grout
curtains, trenches, and
drains, closure of surface
impoundments, capping of
contaminated areas, and
excavation followed by off-
site disposal of contami-
nated soil or buried waste.

Superfund in the Field
Verona, Mo.
  After receiving an anony-
mous complaint, EPA inves-
tigated a wooded area on a
farm near Verona, Mo. Sus-
pecting the presence of di-
oxin, EPA (in 1979, before the
Superfund law was passed)
undertook a comprehensive
site inspection and discov-
ered a depression now
known as the Denny Farm
Site No. 1. As part of the
inspection, EPA drilled soil
borings around the 10-foot
by 50-foot trench (below),
then dug into it, exposing 13
drums. Analysis confirmed
the presence of dioxin. EPA
then negotiated a cleanup
agreement with a company
that had purchased the fa-
cility responsible for
generating and disposing of
the wastes. In mid-1981, the
company uncovered the
drums and transferred the
wastes to a nearby pit
(right). The trench was filled,
compacted with virgin soil,
and capped. In cooperation
with EPA, the company is
evaluating the best means of
disposing or treating the
materials removed from the
trench.

-------
° Off-site actions: taken
  when source-control meas-
  ures are inappropriate or
  would not effectively reduce
  migration of hazardous
  substances from the site.
  Examples include perma-
  nent provision of alternative
  water supplies, control of a
  contaminated aquifer,
  dredging of contaminated
  river sediments, and reloca-
  tion of the affected
  population.
  Because of their limited
scope, initial remedial meas-
ures can be taken during the
planning for additional
source-control or off-site ac-
tions. The initial remedial
measures, however, must be
either cost effective—that is,
the least expensive alternative
that is technologically feasible,
is reliable, and adequately pro-
tects the environment — or a
necessary part of more exten-
sive remedial actions to be
taken later.
  In making an initial planning
decision, EPA works closely
with the State. In particular, the
State often provides site data
and other important informa-
tion. Also, the State is given
the opportunity to review and
comment on EPA's planning
efforts.
  The planning decisions are
addressed through a Remedial
Action Master Plan (RAMP). In
addition to the scope of reme-
dial activities, the RAMP also
considers project costs and
schedules for anticipated re-
medial activities, as well as the
extent and availability of exist-
ing data.
  EPA will also prepare a Site
Management Plan, which
considers all cleanup alterna-
tives, including enforcement
actions and clean up by re-
sponsible parties.
  Another important element
of initial planning activities is
the State's decision on the role
it wants to take in the remedial
action (including the IRM).
CERCLA permits two ar-
rangements:
° A cooperative agreement,
  in which the State takes the
  lead role. A cooperative
  agreement is much like a
  grant in that Federal money
  is transferred to the State.
  The State then develops a
  work plan, schedule, and
  budget, contracts for any
  services it needs, and is re-
  sponsible for ensuring that
  all the conditions of the
  cooperative agreement are
  fulfilled. In contrast to a
  grant, EPA continues to be
  substantially involved,
  monitoring the State's prog-
  ress throughout the project.
  EPA encourages coopera-
  tive agreements because
  they allow maximum State
  participation/which is es-
  sential to the success of
  remedial actions under
  Superfund.
o Superfund State contract,  in
  which EPA takes the lead.
  Early in remedial actions,
  the work is done by one of
  EPA's two major Superfund
  contractors. Later phases
  are managed by the Army
  Corps of Engineers. Under
  an interagency agreement,
  the Corps provides techni-
  cal assistance in the design
  and construction of reme-
  dial actions. Using Super-
  fund monies, the Corps
  contracts with private com-
  panies for the actual per-
  formance of design and
  construction.

Superfund in the Field
Old Forge, Pa.
  EPA learned of the Lehigh
Electric and Engineering Co.
site in Old Forge, Pa.,
through an anonymous
source in March 1981. The
site covers 4.4 acres on the
banks of the Lackawanna
River and is immediately ad-
jacent to a residential area
with about 50 homes. Work-
ing with the Pennsylvania
Department of Environmen-
tal Resources, EPA inspected
the site and determined that
the soil was grossly con-
taminated with polychlori-
nated biphenyls (PCB), an
oil-like toxic organic chemi-
cal once widely used as insu-
lation in capacitors,
transformers, and other
electrical equipment. EPA
decided to clean up the
Lehigh site in two phases.
The first was to remove all
equipment and material
from the surface. An EPA
contractor compiled a de-
tailed inventory of all
equipment at the site (be-
low) and sampled each one
(right). Exposed workers
wore protective gear. Phase I
started in July 1982. While it
was under way, engineering
studies started for Phase II,
which will consider the con-
taminated soil on the site.

                            ices (PAS) in Oswego is the
                            top-priority site in New York.
                            The 15-acre tract is occupied
                            by a waste disposal com-
                            pany that operated a high-
                            temperature incinerator for
                            liquid wastes (below) before
                            going bankrupt in 1977. Dur-
                            ing the peak period of opera-
                            tion, the facility reportedly
                            received over 1 million gal-
                            lons of wastes per month.
                            The area immediately
                            around the site is sparsely
                            populated, but two small
                            creeks traversing the
                            property discharge into Lake
                            Ontario,  less than one-third
                            of a mile away.
                              Working under a Coopera-
                            tive Agreement with the
                            New York State Department
                            of Environmental Conserva-
                            tion, EPA, assisted by a con-
                            tractor, decided on initial

-------
remedial measures to re-
move and dispose of all sur-
face materials, including
drums, wastes in drums,
bulk wastes, equipment,
and buildings. This approach
was taken because it could
be contracted for in a short
period of time and did not
require extensive design
work. Also, cleaning up the
surface was necessary to
prepare the site for later field
work to determine the ex-
tent of subsurface
contamination.
  The work plan developed
for the initial remedial
cleanup called for the
following:
 • Identification and review
  of all information concern-
  ing the site and wastes
  present.
• Establishment of health
  and safety procedures for
  future activities on site.
Development of a protocol
for the safe and econom-
ical handling, bulking of
compatible wastes, trans-
porting, and disposal of
the wastes likely to be
encountered.
Sampling to determine
the types of wastes pres-
ent. EPA estimated that
the site held 8,600 drums
containing about 99,300
gallons of waste and 1,200
cubic yards of contami-
nated soils.
Analysis of disposal op-
tions. The only viable op-
tion turned out to be
transportation off-site.
Empty drums were
crushed on site and buried
at a local sanitary landfill.
Drums containing solid
hazardous wastes were
loaded into a truck (left)
and shipped to a permit-
ted land disposal facility.
  The truck was then hosed
  down with water to de-
  contaminate it (below
  left). The liquids were
  pumped into tanks and
  treated at the same per-
  mitted facility (below
  right).
• Layout of the site into
  clean and dirty zones
  based on level of con-
  tamination. The dirty zone
  is the controlled area
  where the waste is
  staged, sampled, bulked
  (if appropriate), and
  packed for transport.
• Development of standard
  operating procedures.
  Work started on the initial
cleanup in June 1982.

-------
  CERCLA also assigns other
responsibilities to the States,
requiring them:
• To share costs of the design
  and construction phases of
  remedial actions. States
  must contribute 10 percent
  on sites that were privately
  owned at the time of dis-
  posal of hazardous sub-
  stances and at least 50 per-
  cent on sites that were pub-
  licly owned.
• To finance operation and
  maintenance costs, except
  for an initial period, when
  EPA will share in the cost to
  certify that the remedy ac-
  tually functions as planned.
  To assure that approved fa-
  cilities are available to treat,
  store, or dispose of any
  hazardous substances
  transported from the site.
    Remedial Investigation
  With the State role defined,
the remedial investigation can
begin. It is designed to collect
and analyze the data neces-
sary to justify remedial action
and to support development
of alternatives in the feasibility
study. The scope of the inves-
tigation varies depending on
which of the three types of
remedial action (initial remed-
ial, source-control, and off-site)
is involved. During this phase,
the initial scoping decision
may be revised as additional
information is gathered.
  Typically, remedial investiga-
tions involve a sequence of
activities such as:
• Preliminary activities —for
  example, visiting the site,
  defining the boundary con-
  ditions,  preparing a site
  map, and establishing an of-
  fice on site.
• Studies of the wastes, hydro-
  geologic conditions, soils,
  sediments, ground water,
  surface water, and air
  quality.
• Preliminary identification of
  appropriate remedial
  technology.
Sampling is an important
part of investigations and
other remedial activities.
                             12

-------
        Feasibility Study
  The feasibility study, which
is often conducted with the
remedial investigation as one
project, involves several steps:
• Development of alterna-
  tives, including establishing
  objectives, identifying
  possible technologies, and
  designing specific methods

  Non-cleanup options such
  as relocating people or sup-

  alternative, are also
  considered.

     Selection of Remedy
  The EPA Regional Offices
and States transmit their rec-
ommendations to the Assist-
ant Administrator for Solid
Waste and Emergency Re-
sponse. In selecting the reme-
dial alternative, EPA must de-
termine the appropriate extent
of remedy. Also, EPA must
consider the CERCLA re-
quirement to balance the need
to protect public health, wel-
fare, and the environment at a
specific site against the
availability of Fund monies to
respond to other sites, taking
into account the need for im-
mediate action.
          Remedial
     Design/Construction
  The last step is to prepare
the remedial design, which
clearly defines the selected
remedy in a bid package, and
implement the design. Formal
advertisement for contracts is
the preferred method for im-
plementing remedial actions.
Therefore, the remedial design
usually results in a set of con-
tract documents, including de-
tailed plans and specifications,
that allow potential contractors
to bid. At sites where EPA has
the lead, the Corps manages
the design and construction
activities.

Superfund in the Field
                             Butler County, Pa.
                               The Bruin Lagoon site oc-
                             cupies more than 4 acres
                             along the banks of Bear
                             Creek in Butler County, Pa.
                             Its focal point is an open
                             earth-diked lagoon of about
                             1 acre containing 35,000
                             cubic yards of asphaltic
                             sludge and 130,000 gallons
                             of liquid acid wastes floating
                             on top. The site began oper-
                             ations in the 1930's. In 1968,
                             a breach in the dike resulted
                             in a spill of 3,000 gallons of
                             waste liquid, which killed an
estimated 4 million fish and
closed water-supply intakes
downstream. The dike has
been reinforced, but its sta-
bility remains a concern.
  An EPA contractor per-
formed a remedial investiga-
tion and feasibility study for
the site. Sampling of the
sludge (below) indicated
that it is soluble and acidic,
with high levels of oily and
inorganic constituents. To
get samples from the middle
of the lagoon, a worker leans
over the bank (right). As
safety measures, he wears a
protective suit, carries a
supply of oxygen, and is at-
tached to a stationary object
on shore.
  The major conclusions of
the remedial investigation
were:
• Over its history, much of
  the site was used for dis-
  posal of petroleum refin-
  ing residues.
  The site is releasing con-
  taminants, primarily inor-
  ganic, to both surface and
  ground water. Drinking


-------
  water supplies do not ap-
  pear to be affected.
  After evaluating the ana-
lytical data from samples
collected at Bruin Lagoon,
EPA decided to focus on
source-control measures.
The objectives were to pre-
vent catastrophic failure by
stabilizing the dike and to
eliminate the threat to pub-
lic health and the environ-
ment by preventing wastes
from migrating  into surface
and ground water. Eleven
remedial action strategies
were identified and evalu-
ated on the basis of meeting
the major objectives. An ini-
tial screening eliminated
seven, leaving three on-site
options (containment, en-
capsulation, or fixation of
waste) and excavation fol-
lowed by off-site disposal. A
"no-action" alternative was
also considered.
  After reviewing the reme-
dial investigation and feasi-
bility study, EPA and the
State selected waste con-
tainment as the lowest-cost
alternative that met the de-
sired objectives. This alter-
native called for action to:
• Clean up site  in general
• Remove and dispose of
  acidic liquid
• Excavate and dispose of
  contaminated soil
  Stabilize sludge in situ
  Construct multilayer cap
  Cover, regrade, and re-
  vegetate
  Secure site
  Monitor and maintain site
  After the feasibility study
was completed, the contrac-
tor undertook three addi-
tional tasks:
• Development of an En-
  vironmental Impact
  Assessment.
• Evaluation of the stability
  of the dike. The conclusion
  was that minor slope im-
  provements and surface
  erosion controls would
  stabilize the dike during
  and after lagoon closure.
• Bench-scale tests to eval-
  uate the effectiveness of
  various techniques for
  stabilizing sludge so that
  the lagoon will be able to
  support the multilayer
  cap.
  EPA awarded a contract to
implement the remedy in
August 1983. Construction is
expected to be complete by
spring 1984.

  The success of any Super-
fund remedial action depends
in large measure on support
of the local, affected public.
Consequently, a community
relations program is an inte-
gral part of every remedial
action.
  When a site is designated
for funding, one of the first
things EPA does is to meet
with local officials, civic lead-
ers, and community residents
in order to gauge their con-
cerns and information needs.
These discussions form the
basis of the community rela-
tions plan. The plan estab-
lishes how the public will be
kept informed about activities
at the site and how public
input will be obtained. A key
focus of input from citizens is
the 3-week public comment
period on the draft feasibility
study. The feasibility study
specifies the options which
EPA is considering for the
long-term remedial cleanup.
  A community relations plan
is flexible and tailored to the
characteristics of the site and
the needs and concerns of the
surrounding community.
  Superfund's remedial action
program is designed to deal
with the worst uncontrolled
hazardous waste sites where
responsible parties do not
clean up. The remedial pro-
gram addresses poor waste
management practices of the
past, while RCRA manages the
hazardous wastes generated
now and in the future.
  EPA and the States have
initiated a very strong RCRA
program requiring financial
and technical commitments,
with mandatory reporting re-
quirements designed to en-
sure safe handling, storage,
transportation, and disposal of
hazardous wastes. This pro-
gram — built on knowledge
gained from the past — will
help the Nation avoid a repeti-
tion of mistakes and encour-
age the development and
refinement of new, more effec-
tive waste technologies. In
short, Superfund will clean up
past mistakes, RCRA will pre-
vent new ones.
