I. SUMMARY
As part of the national study investigating the presence of dioxin at specific
sites, EPA identified nine (9) candidate sites in EPA Region I for collection
of soil and sediment samples. Two of these were categorized as Tier 3 (sites
where 2,4,5-trichlorophenol was formulated into products), four were categor-
ized as Tier 5 (sites where products derived from 2,4,5-trichlorophenol have
been used), and three were categorized as Tier 7 background sites (sites where
contamination with dioxin was not suspected).
The nine sites were visited by representatives of EPA and its contractor, E.C.
Jordan Co., to verify background information and confirm the suitability of
each site for sample collection. Following initial site visits, E.C. Jordan
Co., prepared and submitted detailed sampling plans which were used by the
sampling team members during the collection of representative soil and sediment
samples. Site visit reports, prepared following each episode, were incorpor-
ated into the sampling plans. Tier 3 samples were sent to contract laboratory
program (CLP) laboratories; all other samples were sent to TROIKA.
In accordance with the requirements of the scope of work, no analytical data
results are included in this report.

II. INTRODUCTION
On December 15, 1983, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a
national strategy for investigating, identifying, and cleaning up sites con-
taminated by dioxin. The strategy focused primarily on 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodi-
benzo-p-dioxin (2,3,7,8-TCDD) which is considered the most toxic of the 75
dioxin isomers. As part of the strategy, the Office of Water Regulations and
Standards developed a two-year national study plan for investigating and
sampling for dioxin at specific processing sites where pesticides possibly
contaminated with dioxins were handled or disposed. The plan included addi-
tional sampling at sites where possibly contaminated pesticides have been or
are being used, and at sites that represent background conditions.
EPA has identified seven classes or "tier levels" based on decreasing potential
for 2,3,7,8-TCDD contamination as follows:
Tier 1 - Locations or sites where 2,4,5-trichlorophenol was originally pro-
duced, including associated waste disposal areas.
Tier 2 - Sites where 2,4,5-trichlorophenol was used as a precursor to make
pesticidal products, including herbicides, germicides, pesticides, and other
related extractable organics.
Tier 3 - Sites, and associated waste disposal areas, where 2,4,5- trichloro-
phenol and its derivatives were formulated into pesticidal products. The
pesticidal products of concern include: 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid
(2,4,5-T); silvex (2,4,5-TC); erbon; ronnel; hexachlorophene; isobac 20; and
2,4,5-trichlorophenol.
Tier 4 - Combustion sources which either create or fail to destroy dioxins.
Sources to be studied are hazardous and municipal waste incinerators, internal
combustion engines, and accidental fires involving PCB-transformers.
11.84.154

-------
Tier 5 - Sites, such as right-of-ways and ranchlands, where pesticidal products
derived from 2,4,5-trichlorophenol have been and are being used on a commercial
basis.
Tier 6 - Certain organic chemical and pesticide manufacturing facilities where
improper quality control on certain production processes could have resulted in
2,3,7,8-TCDD contaminated product waste streams.
Tier 7 - Control sites where contamination from 2,3,7,8-TCDD is not suspected.
The dioxin study strategy calls for investigating and taking any necessary
response or enforcement actions at all Tier 1 sites and, eventually, at Tier 2
sites as part of the Superfund program. Sites in Tiers 3, 4, 5 and 6 are also
being studied through a separate sampling program to determine their prob-
ability of contamination. Concurrent with sampling these sites, other areas
identified as Tier 7 sites are being sampled to determine if background levels
of dioxin exist in the environment and, if so, how widespread they are. EPA's
current estimate is that more than 80 percent of the dioxin present in nature
occurs at Tier 1 and 2 sites. The remaining 10 to 20 percent is estimated to
be distributed between Tier 3,4,5, and 6 sites, with most at the Tier 3 sites.
The initial sampling necessary to evaluate the Tier 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 sites
comprises of the National Dioxin Study.
PURPOSE
The purpose of the National Dioxin Study's sampling program in Region I is to
examine the nature of dioxin contamination in the environment and to assess the
degree of contamination in Tier 3, 5, and 7 sites. Specifically, the objective
of the Tier 3 study is to determine at what percentage of the facilities in
this tier have concentrations of dioxin in the soil at levels above one part
per billion (ppb). The goal of the Tier 5 study is to evaluate the extent and
severity of dioxin contamination in those areas where the herbicides 2,4,5-T
and silvex have been used. At Tier 7 sites, the purpose for sampling is to
3
11.84.154
0007.0.0
-------
assess whether background levels of dioxin exist in the environment, as well as
to provide a basis for comparison for other tiers.
The purpose of this report is to summarize the sampling program conducted as
part of the national study on the Tier 3, 5 and 7 sites in EPA's Region I. No
analytical results are included.
SCOPE OF WORK
The sampling program in Region I was comprised of the following five subtasks:
1. Initiate contact with site owners or their representatives to obtain the
necessary clearance for gaining site access.
2. Conduct a reconnaissance visit to each site to verify background infor-
mation and to identify relevant site characteristics.
3. Prepare a sampling plan for each site which details collection procedures
and number of samples to be taken.
4. Collect representative samples of soil and/or sediment from identified
locations in Tiers 3, 5 and 7.
5. Prepare and submit a report detailing the field sampling activities.

III. SITE SELECTION AND DESCRIPTION
The initial step in the sampling program entailed identifying and selecting
sample locations. Representative sites of each tier were selected by EPA from
all regions within the United States as part of the National Dioxin Study.
Within Region I, nine sample locations were chosen to be sampled as part of the
program. Two of the sites were designated as Tier 3 sites, four as Tier 5, and
the remaining three as Tier 7, or background sites. Figure 1 depicts the
general location of the nine sites and identifies each by name and tier. Site
specific location plans are presented at the end of this section beginning on
page 12.
The Tier 3 and Tier 5 sites were selected by EPA based on consultation with
state regulatory agency personnel from those states within the region.
Region I Tier 3 sites were located in New Hampshire and Rhode Island; the Tier
5 sites were located in Maine and Vermont. Tier 7 sites were selected randomly
from areas which had previously been identified and sampled as part of the
Office of Pesticide's National Soil Monitoring Program (NSMP). In Region I,
the Tier 7 sites were part of three standard metropolitan statistical areas
(SMSA) located in Hartford, Connecticut; and Fitchburg and Pittsfield,
Massachusetts. A brief summary and history of each site is included as part of
the next section of this report. Documentation of pesticide usage at each site
is included in Appendix A.
TIER 7 SITES
Pittsfield, Massachusetts
Nine individual sites were included within this sampling area. Seven locations
were within the city limits of Pittsfield with the remaining two sampling
points located in Dalton and Lanesborough, Massachusetts. Figures 2 through 5
depict the locations of the nine sampling sites which ranged from privately-
owned landscaped lawns to remote, wooded state forest areas. However, in all
cases, the sampling points were vegetated with either grass or weeds. No
records or evidence exist that a herbicide was used on these sites in the past.

Hartford, Connecticut
Eight sites were randomly selected from a network of locations in the Hartford
standard metropolitan statistical area. Three of these sites were within the
city limits of Hartford, while the remaining five locations were situated
within Hartford County, in the towns of Andover, E. Granby, and Windsor, Con-
necticut. The general locations of these sampling areas are shown on Figures 6
through 11. The individual sites included residential lawns, a church and
courthouse lawn, and several rural sites which were, at the time, predominantly
wooded. None of these sites showed evidence or are suspected of having been
sprayed with any herbicide which might have contained dioxin.
Fitchburg, Massachusetts
Six discrete sample sites were selected in this area. Five of the sites were
within the Fitchburg city limits and the remaining one was located in the town
of Lunenburg. Figures 12 through 14 show the general location of these six
sites. Two of the sample areas were in residential lawns, and the other four
were in unimproved, wooded areas. Like the other Tier 7 sites, there was no
indication that these areas contained dioxin.
TIER 5 SITES
Lake Abenaki, Vermont
This site was located northeast of the village of Thetford Center, Vermont, as
shown on Figure 15. Primary access to the lake is through Camp Farnsworth, a
girl scout camp which surrounds the lake and which is located off Route 114.
The lake shore, in general, was heavily wooded and stable with no evidence of
recent erosion. Even though the lake was quite shallow (maximum depth of
approximately 10 feet), it was used extensively by the camp for water recrea-
tion (swimming, canoeing, etc.) and by the public for fishing. As a result of
its shallowness, the lake has experienced periods of increased vegetative
growth. Because of this, approximately 15 acres of the lake (southern third)
were sprayed with 2,4-D and silvex in June 1975. According to the caretaker at
7

the camp, this application appeared to have been effective in controlling
vegetative growth in the lake.
Clara Lake, Vermont
The Clara Lake site, as shown on Figure 16, is located north of the village of
Whitingham, Vermont. Access to the site is from a gravel road (causeway) which
traverses the lake. The lake was partially drained in 1982 and much of the
former lake bed has reverted to grass, weeds, and shrubs. The existing pond was
about one third the size of the original lake (4 acres versus 13 acres) and
quite shallow (4 to 5 feet deep except near an existing dam) at the time of the
sampling. The lake was sprayed three times in the early 1970's in an effort to
control weed growth. A portion of the spray mix used during this period of
time included the herbicide silvex. Even though the lake had been partially
drained, it was still being used for water recreation (swimming and fishing).
Consequently, EPA personnel decided that this site should continue to be
considered a Tier 5 location for this study.
Central Maine Power Co. Right-of-Vay, Yarmouth, Maine
Central Maine Power Co. (CMP) maintains a right-of-way for a 115 kv transmis-
sion line between its steam electric power generating facility in Yarmouth,
Maine, and Mosher substation in Gorham, Maine. In 1978, to control vegetative
growth, CMP sprayed selected plants within 75 feet of the tower centerline in
the Yarmouth area with Tordon 155, which contains 2,4,5-T. The herbicide was
applied only at the base of selected plants. Following site reconnaissance,
two areas along the right-of-way in Yarmouth were selected for sampling. The
first of these areas was a 150-ft by 800-ft strip located within the right-
of-way about 300 feet east of Interstate Highway 95. The second was a 150-ft
by 800-ft strip located within the right-of-way between Portland Street and
U.S. Route 1. The second area was about 1,000 feet west of the first. Figure
17 shows the location of the site.

Bangor & Aroostook Railroad Right-of-Way, Grindstone, Maine
The Bangor & Aroostook Railroad (B&A) serves northern Maine by providing rail
freight service to several small towns and cities as well as to the timber and
agricultural related businesses of the region. Most of the B&A track is
bordered by forested, uninhabited land. In June 1977, the B&A conducted a
spraying program using mixtures containing 2,4,5-T for control of vegetative
growth along its right-of-way north of Millinocket, Maine. Following a
reconnaissance of the area and consultation with Region I personnel, an 1,800-
foot section of right-of-way between Mile Posts 111 and 112 was selected for
sampling as part of the National Dioxin Study. The location of this section of
right-of-way is shown on Figure 18.
TIER 3 SITES
J. Hubbard, Inc., Nashua, New Hampshire
J. Hubbard, Inc., located in Nashua, New Hampshire (see Figure 19), is opera-
ted, in part, as a formulator and distributor of a scented isopropal rubbing
alcohol solution called Dr. Hubbard's Red Cross Nurse. At the time of purchase
by current owners in 1975, and for the following two years, hexachlorophene was
mixed with the alcohol and scented oil at the J. Hubbard facility, but has not
been used since then. Current owners have no knowledge of how long the pre-
vious owners used hexachlorophene.
Hexachlorophene was purchased in a dry form and stored on site in small drums.
Only one container, which held about 25 pounds of substance, was on site at any
given time. Water, oil, and hexachlorophene were mixed together in a bucket
sitting in a sink. The blended mixture was then poured into two 275-gallon
vats containing alcohol. These vats were moved to the location shown in B-28,
Appendix B. They were cleaned once, about two years later; wash water was
flushed down the drain to the city sewer. According to J. Hubbard personnel,
no leakage has occurred during their ownership. Hexachlorophene use at the
site has been estimated between 50 and 100 pounds per year based on J. Hubbard
records showing an annual production rate of 2,000 to 4,000 gallons of Red

Carroll Products, Inc., Wood River Junction, Rhode Island
Carroll Products, Inc., is located on Route 91 in Wood River Junction, Rhode
Island (see Figure 20). In 1976, Carroll Products, Inc., purchased for resale
1,800 pounds of purified grade 2,4,5-T from Dow Chemical Company. According to
analytical results provided by Dow Chemical Co., the 2,4,5-T contained no more
than 0.01 parts per million (ppm) of dioxin. Shipped via common carrier
(truck), the chemical, in dry form, was contained in plastic liner bags inside
three 55-gallon metal drums (600 pounds each) with clamp type lids.
Following receipt by Carroll Products, 1,190 pounds, the entire contents of one
drum and most of another, were repackaged for shipment to Polaroid Corporation.
The repackaging occurred on the first floor of Building 2 as shown on Figure
B-29 of Appendix B. The chemical was scooped from the 55-gallon drums into
smaller fiber drums which were picked up by Polaroid personnel on two separate
occasions. Carroll Products personnel could not verify which loading dock was
used, but assumed it was the main dock in Building 4 (Figure B-29, Appendix B).
Following repackaging, all floor sweepings, gloves, bag liners, scoops, pro-
tective clothing, etc., were placed in two fiber drums and hauled via a Carroll
Products company truck to an incinerator in Saugus, Massachusetts.
In 1976, all floor drains emptied into an on-site lagoon (Figure B-29, Appendix
B); however, there were no reported or known spillages during storage or
shipment of 2,4,5-T. According to company personnel, the lagoon has not been
used since Carroll Products purchased the property in October 1971.
The remaining unopened drum, along with 75 pounds remaining from the shipment
to Polaroid Corporation and repackaged in a plastic liner in a 41-gallon fiber
drum, were stored on-site on the second floor of Building 2 from 1976 to 1984.
In April 1984, Dow Chemical provided two steel drums to overpack the stored
drums, and they were shipped to Full Fertilizer Service, Floresville, Texas.

IV. SAMPLING PROGRAM
The purpose of the National Dioxin Study sampling program is to collect soil,
sediment, fish, and shellfish samples from various sites in Tiers 3, 5, 6, and
7. In a nationwide sampling effort, samples collected in any area or region
must be not only representative of the sample site, but also be consistent with
and comparable to those collected in all other regions. To ensure this, a
standard protocol, Sampling Guidelines Manual for the National Dioxin Study,
was developed by EPA. Specific methodologies developed for collecting, hand-
ling, and shipping of samples are included in the manual. The sampling program
described in this report included only soil and sediment collection and was
conducted in conformance with the specified methodologies. The following
sections summarize those procedures; any variations which occurred during the
sampling episodes are specifically identified.
PRESAMPLING PROCEDURES
Site Contacts
Initially special emphasis was given to contacting the owners and/or represen-
tatives of the various sites selected for sampling. Telephone contact was made
with those individuals responsible for the Tier 3 and 5 sites to explain the
purpose of the program and to obtain permission for gaining access to their
property. For the Tier 7 sites, personal contact was made during the initial
site visits, since telephone numbers were not available for several of the
sampling sites. Furthermore, town officials were notified for the Tier 7 sites
and for the two lake sites in Tier 5. In all cases, the individuals contacted
were invited to be present, if they desired, during the sampling episodes.
Site Reconnaissance
Once contact had been made with the respective individuals, a site recon-
naissance visit was conducted. During the visit, a site history was obtained
and the specific site conditions were observed. At that time, the general
sampling area was identified, and it was determined whether a random or di-
31
11.84.154
0035.0.0
-------
rected sampling approach would be used. A site visit report was then prepared
for each site.
Sampling Plan Preparation
Following the reconnaissance visit, a sampling plan, with a site visit report
appended was prepared for each site. The sampling plan included the procedure
to be followed in collecting the samples; the number of samples to be col-
lected; the specific identification number of each sample; and the location of
each sample point on a site plan.
Selection of Sampling Points
A direct approach was used in selecting the individual.sample points for the
Tier 3 sites and a random approach was used for the Tier 5 sites. At the
direction of EPA, the sample locations for the Tier 7 sites were the same as
those used during the initial pesticides study (NSMP). In an effort to obtain
statistically valid random samples on Tier 5 sites, the following approach was
used:
Determination of the size of the population, from which the random samples of
size n=12 and n=24 were taken, was made to ensure that the sample would provide
representative and useful information about the geographic area. If population
size were not considered, the samples could possibly have been restricted to a
geographic portion of the area which is too small to provide results which
reflect true characteristics of the desired region.
Population sizes were determined by specifying an acceptable relative error in
the estimates, apart from a 1 in 20 chance. The method makes use of the sample
size equation for simple random samples:
n = t2 (cv)2 / fl + t2 (cv)21
r2 N r2
32
11.84.154
0036.0.0
-------
where t = abscissa of the normal curve that cuts off an area a at the
tails. For a 1 in 20 chance of having a larger than specified
error, t=2.
cv = coefficient of variation, a dimensionless measure of
variability desired from the sample estimate, i.e., cv=s/y
r = relative error in the estimated population mean.
N = population size,
n = sample size.
Note that solving the above equation for N yields:
N = [nt2 (cv)2]/[t2 (cv)2-r2n]
Tables 1 and 2 show population sizes resulting from fixing the sample sizes at
12 and 24, respectively, and varying the values of r and cv.

Because advance estimates of coefficient of variation and relative error were
not available, relatively conservative values were considered when determining
the population size. For a sample of size n=12, a population of size N=48 was
used (see Table 1). The interpretation is as follows: from a population of 48
plots, sampling 12 plots will result in an estimate of the mean which is within
10 percent of the true value (apart from a 1 chance in 20), if variability in
the data is around 20 percent. If variability is greater (e.g., 30 percent),
then the population size of 48 and sample size of 12 will result in an estimate
of the mean which is within 15 percent (apart from a 1 chance in 20) of the
true mean.
Similarly, for a sample of size 24, a population of size 72 was used (see
Table 2). Then for a sample size of 24, the estimate of the mean was within 5
percent of the true value, if variability is only 15 percent (apart from a 1
chance in 20). If greater variation were present, for example, say 30 percent,
then the estimate of the mean would be within 10 percent of the true mean,
apart from a 1 chance in 20.
SAMPLING EQUIPMENT AND SAMPLE CONTAINER PREPARATION
Soil sampling kits, which contained a tulip bulb planter and a one-quart wide
mouth glass jar for each sample, were suppled by Versar, Inc., a subcontractor
to EPA. All sample containers and tulip bulb planters were cleaned by Versar,
34
11.84.154
0038.0.0
-------
Inc., prior to shipment to the sampling personnel. According to dioxin proto-
col, the cleaning procedure for sample containers was as follows:
1. Tap water rinse,
2. Deionized water rinse,
3. Pesticide-grade acetone rinse,
4. Pesticide-grade hexane rinse,
5. Air dried, and
6. Glassware baked at 150°C for at least two hours.
A similar cleaning method was followed for the sediment core sampler and the
stainless steel spoons and tongs. However, they were not baked at 150° C.
Subsequent to the air drying operations, the tulip bulb planters, spoons, and
tongs were all wrapped in aluminum foil for transport to the field.
GENERAL SAMPLING PROTOCOL
Collection of Soil Samples
The procedures followed in obtaining soil and sediment samples are summarized
below.
1. For randomly selected samples, the midpoint of each 50-foot by
50-foot randomly selected plot at the site was located using a 100-
foot cloth tape.
2. At each sampling location, either directly or randomly selected, any
grass covered areas were clipped (if necessary) prior to sampling.
All sampling equipment was checked for cleanliness. A soil sample
was collected by forcing a tulip bulb planter into the soil to a
depth of 4 inches, using a clean planter at each sample location. A
sufficient quantity of sample to fill a one-quart wide mouth sample
container half full was obtained at each location.
3. The sample from each sample location was placed into a large clean,
unused, disposable aluminum foil pan. Stones, roots, twigs, grass,
35
11.84.154
0039.0.0
-------
and other debris were discarded with a clean pair of tweezers. The
"screened" sample was placed into the appropriate sample container.
4. One duplicate sample was obtained for every 12 samples collected.
5. All necessary field data forms were completed for the sample and
identifying labels were attached to the container. Duplicate samples
were labeled with an individual sample code, but not identified as a
duplicate. All sample transport containers were sealed in the field
with a tamper-proof seal. Jar lids were taped securely. A chain-
of-custody record was initiated for the sample set. The samples were
then packed for shipment, along with the required field blanks and
performance evaluation samples.
6. Once a sample was collected, steps were taken to preserve the chem-
ical and physical integrity of the sample during transport and
storage prior to analysis. Soil samples were shipped to the labora-
tory at ambient temperature and kept away from direct sunlight until
they were prepared for laboratory analysis. No other preservation
was necessary.
7. The EPA Sample Control Center was contacted and provided the pertin-
ent information on the samples collected.
8. The samples were shipped to the designated laboratory. Soil and
sediment samples from Tier 3 sites were shipped to a Contract Labora-
tory Program (CLP) laboratory; samples from the Tier 5 and 7 sites
were shipped to EPA's TROIKA laboratories. Samples shipped to the
CLP laboratories will be analyzed to 1 part per billion; samples sent
to TROIKA will be analyzed to 10 parts per trillion.
Collection of Sediment Samples
1. The midpoint of each 50-foot by 50-foot randomly selected grid at the
site was located, using an electronic distance meter (EDM).
2. All sampling equipment was checked for cleanliness. The gravity core
sampler was washed with lake water and wiped with a clean cloth
between use at each sample point. The sediment sample was collected
by dropping the corer from a near surface position into the lake
bottom. A minimum of 500 grams of sediment (enough to fill the
36
11.84.154
0040.0.0
-------
one-quart wide mouth containers half full) was obtained at each
sample location.
3. The sediment sample was discharged from the corer into a large clean,
unused, disposable aluminum foil pan. Following settling of the
sediment, the water was poured off the sample and any stones or other
foreign materials were removed using a clean stainless steel spoon.
The remaining sediment was then placed into the appropriate sample
containers.
The subsequent steps were the same as those for collecting soil samples,
which are itemized in Nos. 4 through 8, in the previous section.
SYNOPSIS OF SAMPLING EPISODES
The sample collection episodes were conducted during September 1984 at all
sites. Table 3 shows the latitude and longitude coordinates for each site and
also indicates the number of samples collected per site.
A total of 116 soil samples and 31 sediment samples was collected in Region I
as part of this program. Each sample location is shown in Appendix B. A brief
summary of each episode is presented below. Any variances from the general
sampling protocol or any deviations from the sampling plans have been incorpor-
ated into these summaries.
Pittsfield, Massachusetts Area
One soil sample from each of nine sites was collected during the sampling
episode in this area. Figures B-l through B-9 in Appendix B show each sample
location. During the reconnaissance visit, the previous pesticide sample
locations (NSMP) were identified at all sites except those located in the State
Forest, and were used as sample points for this episode. The sample location
in the State Forest could not be accurately determined; therefore, a

sampling point located at the Berry Pond Circuit Road was selected (see
Figure B-4). No variance from the general sampling protocol was required
during this sampling episode.
Hartford, Connecticut Area
Eight soil samples were collected from this area during the sampling episode.
During the reconnaissance visit, the previous pesticide sampling (NSMP) locat-
ions were identified as shown in Figures B-10 through B-17 for sampling during
this effort. Since no extenuating field circumstances were encountered, the
general sampling protocol was followed on these sites.
Fitchburg, Massachusetts Area
Six soil samples were collected from points in this area sampled during the
former pesticide study (NSMP). The locations were identified as shown in
Figures B-18 through B-23 during the reconnaissance visit. No variance from to
the general sampling protocol occurred.
Lake Abenaki
Field locations of specific sampling points at this site were determined by
using an electronic distance meter (EDM) placed on the shore as shown in Figure
B-24. Using a two-way radio, the EDM operator directed the sampling crew to
each of 21 sample points. The 23 sediment samples (including two duplicate
samples) were collected according to the required sampling protocol.
Clara Lake
Because the water level in Clara Lake had been lowered in 1982, both sediment
and soil (former lake bottom) samples were collected on this site. The number
of each type of sample was based on the proportion of existing lake area to
former lake area. As a result, eight sediment and 15 soil samples, as shown in
Figure B-25 were collected. The collection of these samples was in conformance
with the required sampling protocol outlined above.

Central Maine Power Co. Right-of-Way
The 23 soil samples on this site were collected following the steps outlined in
the general sampling protocol. The location of four sample points (Samples
DA001107, DA001108, DA001115, DA001117 shown in Figure B-26 of Appendix B) had
to be altered due to specific site conditions. The sampling location of Sample
DA001107 was moved 10 feet north from the center of the grid due to a bedrock
outcrop in the area. Sample DA001108 was collected in a suspected spray
location which was 6 feet north and 2 feet west of the center of the grid. The
location of Samples DA001115 and DA001117 were changed since the center of
their respective grids fell within a maintenance roadway on the site.
Bangor and Aroostook Railroad Right-of-tfay
Twenty-three soil samples were also collected at this site. The locations of
two sampling points were moved beyond the railroad ballast to native soil.
Samples DA001203 and DA001211 were collected 13 feet from the center of the
track rather than six feet as intended prior to sampling. The revised locat-
ions for these two samples are shown in Figure B-27. The remaining 21 samples
were all collected within the ballast or subgrade. Due to the large number of
stones in this area, samples were collected from the upper 4 inches of material
by using large stainless steel spoons rather than the tulop bulb planters. No
other modifications to the sampling procedures were necessary at this site.
J. Hubbard, Inc.
Nine soil samples as shown in Figure B-28 were collected at this site following
sampling protocol. Fewer samples were collected at J. Hubbard than the other
sites in this program due to the limited open soil areas available for samp-
ling. The limited size of the alcohol operation conducted on this site was
also a determining factor in reducing the number of samples. Sampling crew
members and EPA personnel agreed that samples should be collected from areas
which were potentially impacted due to spills or disposal operations.

Carroll Products, Inc.
Twenty-three samples were collected at this site. Eighteen soil samples were
collected following the guidelines of the general sampling protocol. Five soil
samples were obtained in the area designated as the former wet lagoon using a
modified procedure. The sample locations are shown in Figure B-29. The lagoon
area functioned as a disposal area from 1976 until 1983. The amount of sediment
collected in that area between 1976 (when the 2,4,5-T was repackaged at the
site) and now cannot be accurately predicted. Therefore, soil (dried lagoon
bottom materials) was collected from two depths; 0 to 4 inches and 4 to 8
inches. A clean tulip bulb planter was used in collecting each sample.
CHAIN-OF-CUSTODY PROCEDURES
To ensure the integrity of the samples, once they were collected, an accurate
written record of possession, a chain-of custody, was maintained. The chain-of-
custody traces possession of the sample from the moment of its collection until
its analysis. Three types of chain-of-custody documents were used during this
program: sample labels, chain-of-custody records, and custody seals.
A sample label was completed and securely attached to each sampling container.
The information recorded on the label included:
o Sample Number - The unique identification number used to document
that sample.
o Episode Number - The unique number assigned by SCC to that sampling
event.
o Date - A six-digit number indicating the month, day and year of
collection,
o Preservation - Type used, if any.
o Analytical Parameters - Listed as dioxin.
After attaching sample labels to and packaging each container, samples were
shipped with an accompanying Chain-of-Custody Record in accordance with Agency
enforcement requirements. For Agency purposes, a sample is considered to be in

an individual's custody if the following criteria are met: if it is in your
possession or it is in your view after being in your possession; or if it was
in your possession and then locked up or transferred to a designated secure
area. The sampler is responsible for the care and custody of the samples
collected until they are shipped.
A separate Chain-of-Custody Record (Figure 21) signed and dated by the sampler
accompanied each sample shipment to the laboratory. The custody record was
enclosed in plastic (with the Dioxin Shipment Record) and taped to the under-
side of the cooler lid. Shipping coolers were secured and sealed with a
custody seal for shipment to the laboratory. Custody seals were placed across
the cooler opening so that the cooler could not be opened without breaking the
seal. At the laboratory, the representative accepting the incoming sample
shipment signed and dated the Chain-of-Custody Record to acknowledge receipt of
the samples, completing the sample transfer process. From that point on, the
laboratory maintained its own internal records.

Dear Mr. Walsh:
Attached is the Carroll Products, Inc., response to your letter
and the enclosed questionnaire of April 17.
As indicated in my enclosed letter of November 22, 1983, to
Barbara McAllister, the company was not engaged in formulating or
otherwise producing 2,4,5-TCP. The company bought the purified grade
product from Dow and repackaged it into smaller units on two occasions
Your questions 11-16 pertain to wastes, and these have been
answered from the perspective of this limited 2,4,5-TCP operation.
Please let me know if you have any questions on the enclosure.

Dear Ms. McAllister:
This is in response to the October 13 letter to Carroll Products
from Merrill S. Hohmsn, having to do with 2,4,5-TCP. Your questions
from Attachment I are answered in order:
1. Mitchell Manufacturing Division of Carroll Products never
manufactured this product. They purchased purified grade
2,4,5-Triehlorophenol from the Dow Chemical Company, repackaged it,
and sold it on two occasions in 1976.
2. Mitchell Manufacturing bought purified grade, not technical
grade, 2,4,5-TCP from Dow Chemical of Midland Michigan and sold it
on only two occasions to Polaroid Corporation, 119 Windsor Street,
Cambridge, MA 02139. No analyses were performed by this company.
3. None was manufactured.
4. There was no manufacturing done. Wastes were floor
sweepings, gloves, aprons and similar handling equipment used in the
repackaging of the material.
5. The -wastes described above were not mixed with other
materials.
6. The accumulated wastes were taken by the company on
their own vehicle to Refuse Energy Systems Co., 100 Salem Turnpike,
Saugus, MA 01906, for incineration.
7. A total of 230 pounds of wastes were sent for incineration in
one trip, on 4/22/76. No wastes are in storage.
A-31
-------
8. No tests were done.
9. We have no other data relating to 2,3,7,8-TCDD.
Please let me know if you have any further questions on this
matter.
