CERCLA
IR Program Description
The IR program is divided into four phases and is responsive
to CERCLA and E. 0. 12316.
Phase I of the IR program is an installation assessment. In
this phase, installation files are examined, current employees
and key former employees are interviewed, and the terrain and
facilities are examined- Limited soil and water sampling may
also be conducted to determine if contaminates are present.
Phase II is referred to as the confirmation phase. In this
phase, a comprehensive survey is conducted to define the
problem fully through environmental sampling and analyses and
survey data from all technical areas are interpreted and in-
terrelated.
Phase III is referred to as technology base development. In
this phase, control technology is matched with specific con-
tamination problems at a given site to determine the most
economical solution. If control technologies do not exist,
they are developed in this phase.
Phase IV, the final phase of the IR program, is the operations
phase. This phase includes design, construction, and operation
of pollution abatement facilities, and the completion of-re-
medial actions.
Response to Imminent Hazards
The comprehensive IR process outlined here would be expedited
in the event that an imminent hazard to health, welfare, or
the environment were found.

DATE
September 1986
FACILITY: Alabama Army Ammunition Plant
LOCATION: Childersburg> Alabama
I.D.: AL210020008
MISSION: Declared excess by the Army in 1973 and
was partially razed. During World War II
produced high explosives (TNT and tetryl),
DNT, smokeless powder, and nitrocellulose.
Throughout it's history this mission remained
unaltered.
AREA: 5,168 acres (13,233 acres orginally)
POPULATION: Caretaker level (+ or - 12)
COMPLIANCE STATUS
Since this facility has been closed, partially
razed and partially proposed for property
disposal, no permits are active by which to
measure the traditional compliance status
with regard to air, water and RCRA compliance.
The existence of this facility in its present
environmental condition does cause environ-
mental concerns because of past operational
and hazardous waste disposal practices.
There is a potential for both surface and
groundwater contamination by explosive
chemicals and heavy metals at AAAP.
CERCLA: This facility has an HRS score high enough
to be listed on the CERCLA National Priorities
List. The Department of the Army (DOA) has
conducted a contamination investigation as a
part of its Installation Restoration Program.
The DOA has been requested by local officials
to excess AAAP property for private industrial
use. DOA is interested in selling off a
parcel of the site that was less contaminated
than the area where the primary ammunition
manufacturing occured and proposed that no
cleanup is required for industrial use of the
parcel. The General Services Administration
(GSA) is responsible for property disposal
and requested EPA's recommendation on the
property transfer. Based upon EPA's response,
GSA returned the property to DOA as "not
disposable."
-------
Page 2
Alabama Army Ammunition Plant
Congressman William Nichols of Alabama is
very interested in the site sale issue and
EPA officials have met with him on several
occasions. We agreed that DOA could use a
segmented cleanup approach but insisted that
any consideration of the sale of the parcel
occur only if a cleanup for the whole property
showed no adverse affect from a segmented
cleanup approach and that the parcel in
question was cleaned up in a manner con-
sistent with the NCP.
As a result of EPA meeting with Mr. Lewis D.
Walker, OSA, EPA and DOA have agreed to the
following activity at AAAP.
0 The DOA will delineate the parcels to be
considered for a segmented approach.
# The DOA will develop an overall plan and
schedule for remedial action consistent
with the NCP that contains an appropriate,
remedial investigation and feasibility
study (RI/FS) including a determination oŁ
the complete nature and extent of the
problem presented by releases of contami-
nation for which the Army is responsible,
both on and off the installation. Parcels
offered for sale will be cleaned for unre-
stricted use. It is possible that some
parcels would be retained, monitored, and
controlled, where cleanup to unrestricted
use is not necessary to protect public
health, welfare and the environment, and
it is not otherwise justified by a cost-
effective analysis.
9 The DOA will develop and maintain documen-
tation to support actions at the installation
and provide an opportunity for public
review and comment of the selected remedial
alternative.
0 The EPA will provide the DOA with examples
of EPA feasibility studies, draft feasibility
guidance, and community relations guidance
to assist them in developing the needed
information.
• The EPA will review and comment on the
appropriate RI/FS approach.
-------
Page 3
Alabama Army Ammunition Plant
As of this date the following actions have
been accomplished or are planned.
0 The DOA has delineated the parcels to be
considered for a segmented approach. The
installation has been subdivided into two
areas, Area A and Area B.
0 A Remedial Investigation/Feasbility Study
is being conducted on the entire in-
stallation. It is expected to be completed
in September 1986.
0 Plans for cleanup of Area A to unrestricted
use are underway. A Remedial Action Contract
has been prepared by the U.S. Army Toxic and
Hazardous Materials Agency and is out for
solicitation. An award date of July 1986
is expected.
PROBLEM AREAS
CERCLA: See Above
ACTION NEEDED
" Meetings between EPA Region IV, the Alabama
Department, of Environmental Management and
USATHAMA will be held at the completion of
the Remedial Investigation, Feasibility
Study and Remedial Action phases of the
project.
0 Community Relations meeting will be con-
ducted at AAAP at the completion of the
Remedial Investigation, Feasibility Study
and Remedial Action phases of the project.
0 EPA will work closely with DOA to assure a
resolution to the issues at AAAP.

Anniston Army Depot
Anniston, Alabama
AL213820027
Major industrial rework facility for
armored vehicles (tanks) and small arms
and is a general supply and maintenance
depot for various commodities including
chemical warfare agents.
15,200 acres
4900 civilian employees and 35 military
personnel.
COMPLIANCE STATUS
AIR: In compliance by source test. Performance
of a new baghouse system called Hopper
Evacuation was tested in February 1985;
particulate emission rates were in com-
pliance with State standards.
WATER: In compliance. Water is obtained from
the City of Anniston.
WASTEWATER:
Administratively in compliance. A new
NPDES Permit expired June 1985; a draft
permit was mailed by the by the State
in January 1986 and published for public
notice February 1, 1986. The draft permit
incorporates changes recommended by EPA,
Region IV. The NPDES permit includes a
compliance schedule that requires:
Relocation of discharge point from
Coldwater Creek to Chocolocco Creek.
b. Upgrade of the cyanide/cadmium treat-
ment process.
RCRA:
Out of compliance - based on EPA inspection of
May 12, 1986. Part B called July 10, 1984.

Anniston Army Depot
CERCLA: Notification filed. Phase I and II have
been completed. Phase IV is underway.
Groundwater investigations are essentially
complete. A report was received in June
1984. The report covered source identi-
fication, contaminant transport simulation
and remedial analysis. This is a CERCLA
NPL site.
TOXICS: Chemical warfare agents stored.
PROBLEM AREAS
WASTEWATER: Contract to design treatment facility for
the Metal Fininshing Facility dewatering
sump discharge to be awareded March 1986.
CERCLA: Design of groundwater treatment facilities
for site z-1, old landfill area, Building
513, and Building 130 will begin June 1986.
Site Z-3 has been capped to prevent rain-
fall accumulation, and run-on or run-off.
Thirteen off-depot wells were installed
in the Dec 85-Jan 86 timeframe; sampling
and analysis are being performed in Feb-
Mar 86; a contamination assessment, will
be performed in Apr-May 86; the final
report, is due Jul 86.
In addition to the Z-1 site, a mound of
sludge (approximately 1,000 cubic yards)
from the previously closed chemical waste
lagoon, and a chemical sump at Building 130
were removed. ANAD has proposed an off-
post groundwater investigation to ADEM.
Site vists will be necessary twice a year
to keep informed on actions taken by ANAD.
ACTION
Water pollution and air pollution problems
need resolution. Air inspection will be
needed when the hopper evacuation project
has been completed; NPDES compliance in-
spection when the system is fully oper-
ational. Keep informed about CERCLA pro-
ject development. Check on PCB storage
and disposal plans by DLA. Track the
development of the RCRA Part B permit
and compliance with permit provisions.

or problems were found.
WASTEWATER: This facility is basically in compliance.
Extensive engineering investigations of the
new ash pond resulted in a decision for COF
to convert to dry fly ash disposal. Until
the conversion can be made, TVA repaired a
much smaller portion of the pond that was
determined to be suitable for reuse. The
repaired area was lined with three feet of
compacted clay. This repaired area will be
sufficient for wet ash disposal until the
dry fly ash disposal conversion is made.
ADEM issued an Administrative Order to TVA
requiring an extensive groundwater monitoring
program at the site to determine the extent
of any contamination and to be continued
throughout the life of the pond. This program
has been implemented. The plant's sanitary
wastes are treated by a septic tank that
discharges to the ash pond.

Naval Air Station, Boca Chica
This station has its own contact stabili-
zation wastewater treatment facility. The
system is generally in compliance but on a
few occasions it has not met NPDES and state
requirements with regard to suspended solids
removal. The design flow is sometimes ex-
ceeded due to infiltration. A flow propor-
tional chlorination system is currently
under design and should be in place within
one year. A new emergency generator has
been installed. It is probable that the
Boca Chica sewer lines should be protected
from infiltration by having them sliplined
the same as has been done at the Sigsbee
Park Housing Area, although infiltration
problems are not as severe at this facility.
Sigsbee Park Housing Area
This facility has its own contact stabili-
zation wastewater treatment facility. The
system is generally in compliance but on a
few occasions it has not met NPDES and state
requirements with regard to suspended solids
removal. Design flow is normally exceeded
due to infiltration problems. The fecal coli
form violations may be due to the use of a
fixed flow chlorinator. A flow proportional
chlorination system is cuerently under design
and should be in place in one year. A new
emergency generator has been installed. The
Sigsbee Park Housing Area sewers have been
sliplined to correct the infiltration problem.

Assessment) Phase I started in May 1984.
A comprehensive survey was conducted and
completed in December of 1984. There were
ten sites found with potential for pollution.
Groundwater monitoring will be done at all
sites. Phase II plan of action submitted
December 1985.
TOXICS: PCB's in electrical transformers being
handled.
PROBLEM AREAS
AIR: There are no known problems at present.
WASTEWATER:
The facilities at Truman Annex, Trumbo
Point, Poincianna Housing Area, and the
Naval Medical Clinic do not meet state
and federal standards with regard to waste-
water discharges. The operation of the
Boca Chica and the Sigsbee Housing Area
wastewater treatment systems need to be
improved particularly with regard to coli
form count and suspended solids removal.
Infiltration problems need to be corrected.
The location of a site for the combined
NavyCity system is Fleming Key.
RCRA: No special problems at present.
CERCLA: No special problem areas have been identi-
fied other than those noted above.
ACTION NEEDED
WASTEWATER: A site has been selectd for a combined
status Navy-City system and construction
begin in FY 1986.

NAME: Naval Air Station, Cecil Field
LOCATION: Duval County, Jacksonville, Florida
I.D.: FL170022474
MISSION: The base contains a master jet station
which serves to provide support for attack
aircraft of the U.S. Atlantic Fleet. It is
the home of Commander, Fleet Air Detachment
Cecil Field; Commander, Light Attack Wing
One? Commander, Air Antisubmarine Warfare,
Wing one; three Carrier Air Wings; twelve
attack squadrons; and a composite squadron
detachment which deploy to Sixth Fleet
Carriers. The station provides two train-
ing squadrons and a flight physiological
training center. The aircraft intermediate
maintenance department provides complete
overhaul facilities for jet engines. The
base contains a. large jet fuel and oil tank
storage area.
AREA: 19,564 acres
POPULATION: 11,360
COMPLIANCE STATUS
AIR: In compliance by inspection.
WATER: Potable water is obtained from wells on
base, is chlorinated and meets health
standards.
WASTEWATER: In compliance. The expanded wastewater
treatment system was completed in January,
1985. An oil/water separator was installed
intercept oil and grease from aircraft wash-
rack and hanger 860, to reduce oil and grease
received by the primary clarifiers at the
waste treatment facility. The effluent out-
fall of the treatment system may have to be
modified because the state will not allow
any increase in the biological oxygen demand
discharge to the present outfall and has a
permit requirement for zero discharge by 1990.

RCRA: In compliance. However a new storage
building to store waste products from
cleaning operations in compliance with
40 CFR Part 761, Annex III, Paragraph
761.42 was completed July 16, 1985. This
facility is operating under Permit No.
HT 16-64633.
CERCLA: Filed notification. The initial assessment
(Phase I) has been completed; Phase II has
been started. Eighteen past disposal sites
were identified and ten of these were
recommended for a confirmation study.
TOXICS: PCB's are handled and stored prior to
disposal.
PROBLEM AREAS
WASTEWATER: The discharge point for the new wastewater
treatment system may need modification.
The state will not allow any increase in
BOD into Rowell Creek, the present dis-
charge point. Yellow Creek, a possible
discharge point for treated effluent may
have to be treated by overland flow or
pumped to a different waterway for discharge.
ACTION
Study of alternatives for waste-water effluent
discharge in connection with the state's
Proposed Zero Discharge Criteria. New NPDES
permit for wastewater treatment plant from EPA.

COMPLIANCE STATUS
AIR:
WATER:
WASTEWATER:
RCRA:
In compliance by inspection.
In compliance. Potable water is obtained
from 6 wells on base and is chlorinated.
The water meets health standards.
Administratively in compliance. The
station has facilities for treating both
domestic and industrial wastes. Industrial
wastes are treated then discharged domestic
treatment plant. Oil and solvent pits waste-
water is to be pumped to industrial plant.
In compliance. The base is under interim
status and has filed for a temporary
operating permit with the State of Florida.
This activity is inspected by the State
semiannually. Part A is on file but. this
has been superseded by the Florida permit.
A covered storage area is planned for FY'86
for handling solvents, fuel sludge, de-
greasers, cleaners, used paints, thinners
and other hazardous materials to assure
compliance with RCRA storage criteria.
Additionally a conforming storage facility
for OTTO II fuel waste is planned. Existing
sludge drying beds at the Industrial Waste
-------

Treatment Plant and Paint Waste storage
tank 119K will be closed out. The sludge
drying beds will be replaced by a mechanical
or solar powered dewatering system. Paint
waste will either be distilled and recycled
or disposed of in drums to EPA approved
landfill.
CERCLA: Notification has been filed. Initial
assessment studies (Phase I) have been
completed. Sampling and monitoring is nearly
complete on 15 sites identified by the IAS
study team as needing further investigation.
The results of the confirmation study will be
used to evaluate the necessity of conducting
mitigative actions or cleanup operations.
One cleanup action has been completed (PCB
contaminated earth). The other involving
construction of shallow trenches to intercept
and treat leacheate from abandoned solvent
and petroleum wastepits is in remedial action
study. More than 300 drums of polychlorinated
biphenyl (PCB) contaminated soil from an area
formerly used to store transformers have been
removed and disposed of. Private contractors
under contract to the Naval Air Station have
in the past, disposed of hazardous industrial
sludges at Hipps Road and other landfills in
and around Jacksonville.
Silvex - The Navy contracted with Pepper
Industries, Inc. for the proper disposal of
Naval Air Station Industrial waste products.
Silvex Corporation was the ultimate disposer
of these waste products using them as an
alternate fuel source. A considerable
quantity of these waste products were spilled
at the Silvex site. Silvex is now required
to clean up the site and the State has filed
suit against Pepper Industries, Silvex
Corporation, and the Navy as parties respon-
sible for the cleanup. The Navy has filed a
motion to dismiss the suit. There is no
decision on this motion at this time.
TOXICS: Naval Air Station Jacksonville handles and
stores PCB's and other toxic wastes prior to
disposal.
-------

Naval Air Station, Jacksonville
PROBLEM AREAS
CERCLA: A superfund site has been identified and the
resulting conditions are being corrected.
The necessary corrective action involved
the removal of 300 drums of PCB contaminated
soil from a transformer storage area and
the construction of trenches to intercept
and treat leacheate from abandoned solvent
and petroleum waste pits. This site is
presently under study for improved treat-
ment remedial action. Fifteen additional
sites are presently being studied to deter-
mine the extent of mitigative or cleanup
actions required.

major overhaul and rework facility for naval
aircraft. Administrative, maintenance, and
housing services are provided to support the
Station's mission.
AREA: 6,684 acres
POPULATION: 20,000 - 25,000
COMPLIANCE STATUS
AIR: In compliance by State inspection on
November 14, 1985.
WATER: In compliance, potable water is obtained
from three (3) wells field on Corry Station
located approximately three miles from the
Naval Air Station. Water quality is well
within drinking water standards as deter-
mined by testing. Water is chlorinated
and fluoridated.
WASTEWATER:
Industrial and domestic treatment systems
are in compliance with NPDES Permit
FL0002500. The NPDES permit expired in
July 1985. Renewal application was sub-
application was submitted in January 1985.
Domestic system is activated sludge using
diffused aeration and clarifying. Indus-
trial system is chemical precipitation and
floccuation for metals influent. Phenolic
influent is biologically treated. Mechanical
aerators in surge and stabilization impound-
ments maintain a high dissolved oxygen level.
An EPA Compliance Evaluation Inspection was
conducted on September 17, 1985. Results
indicated satisfactory compliance.
RCRA: In compliance. Based on an EPA inspection of
July 23, 1986. The facilities are found in
compliance on all items. A Part B application
was filed on October 8, 1985. Planning has
-------
Page 2

begun on a final status complying Hazardous
Waste Storage Facility and replacement of a
surface impoundment with tanks. Construction
is scheduled to begin by third quarter,
fiscal year 1987 to meet the compliance date
of November 8, 1988.
CERCLA: Notification has been filed. The initial
assessment of 29 potential sites was
completed in 1983. Confirmation and
characterization studies have been completed
with further action recommended at four
sites. Action recommended includes addi-
tional monitoring and sampling at three
sites with soil removal recommended at the
fourth site (a pesticide storage/mixing
area). Additionally, the wastewater
treatment plant, a RCRA site, has con-
taminated wastewater. Monitoring wells
have determined the extent and degree of
contamination. A recovery well system has
been recommended. Recovery will be intiated
concurrently with the surface impoundment
closure.
TOXICS: 68 PCB transformers and 74 PCS capacitors
are still in service. A program is in place
to remove these items for disposal whenever
item requires maintenance. PCB items are
disposed of through a Defense Logistics
Agency contractor. During 1985, PCB liquids
were shipped to PPM, Inc., Kansas City. Low
level contamination of less than 1% was
treated. Higher levels were sent to an EPA
approved incinerator. Solids were disposed
of, either in an approved site in Ohio or
Nevada.
PROBLEM AREAS
WASTEWATER: Problems are encountered in treating the
wastewater adequately to meet state
quality standards, especially in cooper
(0.015 mg/1) and cadmium (0.005 mg/1).
These will remain problems. Potable water
levels exceed the copper limits for the
treatment plant effluent. Mixing zone
for effluent applied to state permit
requested.
-------
Page 3
Navy Public Works Center and Naval Air Station
RCRA: Actions required to develop facilities
meeting 40 CFR 264 standards may run
into funding and scheduling problems.
Due to the short period remaining to
meet compliance, the normal federal
budgeting is inadequate. Also, projects
submitted at this time come under more
reviews due to the budget deficit re-
duction actions.
CERCLA: Problems anticipated in this area parallel
problems feared for RCRA.
ACTIONS NEEDED
WATER: A project has been developed to expand the
Corry Station well field and provide a new
distribution line to the Naval Air Station.
The construction contract was awarded during
the third quarter, fiscal year 1986. This
will reduce reliance on the Naval Air Station
wells and minimize poasiblity of saltwater
encroachment.
WASTEWATER: Actions being taken under RCRA will improve
the wastewater plant's ability to cope with
unexpected influents.
RCRA: Closure of the existing surge pond and
sludge drying beds replacement with
systems comlying with 40 CFR 264 will
eliminate the source of the groundwater
pollutants. These actions are scheduled
to be completed before November 8, 1988.
CERCLA: Additional studies at the three sites which
had insufficient data to develop a remedial
action plan will be done. Remedial actions
recommended will be undertaken.
An accelerated program to remove PCB items
is planned.

COMPLIANCE STATUS
AIR: In compliance with State and Federal air
pollution control regulations. Commonwealth
of Kentucky issued operating permit (0-84-172)
to the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant (PGDP)
on October 18, 1984. The Kentucky Division of
Air Pollution Control inspected sources on
September 6, 1985. No violations were noted on;
the report.
WATER: PGPD pumps water from Ohio River where it is
treated using a lime-soda ash softening process.
A sand filter is used for all drinking water,
and the water is chlorine disinfected. The
water treatment facility is in compliance with
drinking water standards.
WASTEWATER: PGDP is, for the most part, in compliance with
the NPDES permit that expired on February 15, 1980.
The facility has experienced problems with BOD
and pH limits. The Kentucky Division of Water
made a compliance inspection on August 13, 1985,
and found the facility satisfactory in all
applicable areas.
RCRA: Out of compliance. Based on State inspection of
6/5/86. Part A Permit Application was submitted
to EPA Region IV and Kentucky on October 16, 1985,
and revised and submitted in January 1986. A
Part B Permit Application for five hazardous
waste facilities, closure plans for two interim
status facilities, and information regarding
potential releases from solid waste management
units were submitted to EPA and the Kentucky
Division of Waste Management on October 29,
1985.

CERCLA: Notification was made concerning the Kentucky
Ordnance Works site which is located to the
southwest of the PGDP. This trinitrotoluene
(TNT) production facility was abandoned after
World War II. Kentucky currently operates a
wildlife management area that encompasses the
Kentucky Ordnance Works facility. The deed on
the property forbids digging or other soil
disburbances in areas of possible TNT contam-
ination. Although the site has been used as
a wildlife management area for many years, no
problems have apparently been encountered. An
EPA Site Inspection Report was completed for
the site in 1982.
Potential CERCLA sites within the boundaries of
PGDP are currently undergoing Phase I investi-
gations to determine the need for additional
investigation and remedial actions. The Phase I
installation assessment has been completed. The
Phase II confirmation is scheduled for the follow-
ing twelvemonth period. Improvements in the
facility groundwater monitoring system are planned
for 1986. Recommendations on further activities
will be made following the installation assess-
ment.
TOXICSs A large number of transformers and capacitors
containing PCB's are used at the PGDP. This
equipment is inspected and inventoried as
required by PCB regulations.
All "open systems" that were found to contain
PCB's have been drained and/or retrofilled to
levels below 50 ppm.
PROBLEM AREAS
The pH violations are caused by algae growth
during the warm months. The lime-soda ash
softening system used by the PGDP water treat-
ment plant causes the treated water to exhibit
a pH near 9.0, the NPDES limit. BOD violations
occur occasionally during cold weather because
of decreased biological activity in the sewage
plant.
-------
Page 3
Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant, DOE
ACTION NEEDED
Both the pH and BOD situations have been dis-
cussed with EPA Region IV and Kentucky. BOD
limits of 30 milligrams per liter (daily maximum)
and 30 milligrams per liter (daily average)
have been agreed to in writing by both EPA and
Kentucky. It was also felt that a solution to
the pH problem could be factored into the new
NPDES permit.

permit (Permit No. 3743R2) has an effective
date November 19, 1985.
WATER: In compliance. The base derives seventy
percent of its water supplies from a system
of eleven wells. Three additional wells are
inactive because of high iron content. Three
additional wells provide local or emergency
service to the rifle range, the base hospital
and the Tactical Air Connand (TAC) engine test
cell. Treatment consists of lime, sedimentation,
filtration, fluoridation, and chlorination.
WASTEWATER: Out of compliance. The storm drainage system
on Seymour Johnson Air Force Base consists
primarily of concrete conduits or open channels
which drain toward the Neuse River either
directly or via Stoney Creek. Waste materials
from aircraft maintenance functions have
occasionally been spilled to the storm drains.
These materials were reported to have included
compounds such as fuels (diesel fuel, jet fuel,
calibrating fluid, purging fluid), oils
(hydraulic fluid, lubricating oil, preservative
oil, mineral base solvents), engine oils
(reciprocating aircraft engine oil, used motor

1970's, oil/water separators were installed
in many of the sources and the effluent was
discharged to the sanitary sewer systems.
In 1968, Seymour Johnson Air Force Base entered
into an agreement with the City of Goldsboro
for the treatment of all domestic sewage gen-
erated on the base. The base's sewage lines
now tie into the City of Goldsboro system which
does not meet established standards. The

which contain strontium tracer compounds.
Thi9 area is 1000 feet from Lagoon 99.
Groundwater testing around Lagoon 99 has
proved contamination of groundwater and
led to the conclusion that the contamination
has migated beyond the limits of the
reservation. The migration is toward the
county water system well farm of 9 wells
located 5000 to 8000 feet distant.
CERCLAt The Army Corps of Engineers is considering
a study of an area suspected to be a small
dump used by the Navy shortly after World
War II. Estimated date of completion of
study is late 1985 or 1986.
TOXICS: In compliance. They have been identified
and are disposed of via proper hazardous
waste disposal methods.
PROBLEM AREAS
CERCLAt Aeration lagoon is suspect of contributing
to groundwater contamination. Testing,
with design of abatement methods, if
necessary, is currently underway.
There have been past fuel spills in the
area of the aviation fuel farm. Testing,
design of recovery methods, and coordina-
tion with the State of North Carolina are
all currently underway.

this to a land fill and dumping it. The
state has asked Fort Jackson to stop this
practice. For the most part Fort Jackson
has been burning their waste oil in their
incinerator. However, the oil in the
separators is such a small amount that
they have not yet figured out a permanent
solution for disposal

in M-Area,
to remove chlorocarbon contaminants
from the groundwater, continues. Waste-
water discharges to the M-Area settling
basin were stopped in July 1985 by
routing to the new M-Area Effluent
Treatment Facility (ETF). Closure plans
for the M-Area settling basin and its
overflow seep area (Lost Lake) have been
sent to EPA. EPA's response is forth-
coning .
CERCLA: Superfund notification is on file. CERCLA
Phase I which "identify and evaluate inactive
waste disposal sites on DOE facilities" has been
completed. The Phase I report entitled "Instal-
lation Assessment" is being prepared and is due
by April 26, 1986.
TOXICSt SRP is in compliance with all regulations con-
cerning regulated -use pesticides, PCBs, and
asbestos.
PROBLEM AREAS
1. SRP received notices of violation from SCDHEC
relating to groundwater contamination (or
potential contamination) from inactive and
active waste disposal sites, ETF operational
upsets in M-Area, and coal boiler testing and
monitoring requirements in A-Area. Resolutions
of NOV has been resolved.
-------
Page 5
United States DOE, Savannah River Plant
2. The impact of the new TotaL Residual Chlorine
(TRC) limit of 0.5 mg/1 at the discharge point
and 11 ug/1 in stream proposed by SCDHEC could
have a significant economic impact on SRP
cooling water and sanitary wastewater discharges.
This limit is to be negotiated with SCDHEC.
3. Alternative waste management practices for radio-
active, mixed waste and hazardous wastes studies
are underway in anticipation of the 1984 RCRA
amendments closure requirements for surface
impoundments (deadline - November 1988). Basin
closures in-favor of direct discharges from
wastewater treatment systems would increase the
radiological dosage to the public from air and
surface waters.
4. Projects are underway to provide spill contain-
ment systems to bulk oil and chemical storage,
areas, loading/unloading facilities, etc. to
prevent and control discharges of pollutants to
surface waters.
5. DOE is currently negotiating with EPA on the
applicability of the RCRA underground storage
tank (UST) regulations, particularly to high
level waste tanks. In the interim period, SRP
is taking steps to comply with the UST regula-
tions imposed by SCDHEC.
ACTION NEEDED
The primary action needed is funding air, water
quality, RCRA, mixed waste storage and CERCLA
projects to assure that environmental standards
are met, and appropriate actions necessary to
carry out environmental improvement programs
are taken.

LOCATION: Arnold Air Force Station, Tennessee
I.D.: TN572024044
MISSION: The mission of the facility is to support
the development of aerospace systems through
testing and simulation.
AREA: 40/000 acres
POPULATION: 4,130
COMPLIANCE STATUS
AIR: In compliance by certification with regulation.
AEDC presently has 20 Air Pollution Control
Permits issued by the State of Tennessee. Three
additional permit, applications are on file and
under review by the State of Tennessee and EPA
Region IV.
WATER: In compllance. The main base is supplied with
water from Hoods Reservoir which receives conven-
tional alum coagulation, settling, rapid sand
filtration and chlorination. The housing area
receives its water from deep wells which is
chlorinated and flouridated before use. The
AEDC Water Treatment Plant Laboratory is certified
to perform bacteriological and turbidity monitoring
Analysis of samples for organic, inorganic and
radioactive contaminants is performed by the U.S.
Air Force Occupational and Environmental Health
Laboratory at Brooks AFB, Texas.
WASTEWATER: In compliance. The main plant wastewater treat-
ment system is a conventional secondary trickling
filter system with primary sedimentation, a
heated digester, secondary sedimentation, chlori-
nation, magnetic flow meter, flow recorder
and sludge drying beds. The system generally
meets permit requirements except for excessive
flow during periods of heavy rainfall. A project
is underway to clean and inspect approximately
33,800 linear feet of the sanitary sewer system.
The project will identify areas of possible water
infiltration into the system. Estimated cost of
the project is $47,700 with a completion date
scheduled for September 30, 1985.

The Arnold Village Family Housing area is
served by an extended aeration package
plant. Excursions at Arnold Village have
been associated with excessive flow due
to inflow/infiltration, carry-over of
suspended solids and excessive BOD.
During the Spring of 1984, approximately
925 feet of sewer line was replaced at
Arnold Village significantly reducing
the inflow/infiltration.
A proposal to upgrade and combine the
Arnold Village Sewage Treatment Plant
with the Officers Open Mesa (00M) and
Visiting Officers Quarters (VOQ) is
presently being let. The proposed project
would: install new sewage collection
lines, reline or replace deteriorated
lines in the housing area to prevent ground
water infiltration, and upgrade and
enlarge the Arnold Village Sewage Plant to
handle additional flow and meet treatment
specification.
In coiqpliance. AEDC provided notification
and filed a Part A application achieving
interim status. (TN857024044). The RCRA
Part B application was requested by EPA
on October 19, 1983, and formally submitted
on April 19, 1984. To date, the application
remains under review by EPA region IV and
the State of Tennessee. Revisions to the
original application were submitted on
June 8, 1984, August 30, 1984 and December
20, 1984. State determined application
to be complete 9/25/85. Evaluation
Inspection 12/13/85 by EPA.
In compliance. As a Department of Defense
facility, AEDC is meeting the objectives
of CERCLA through implementation of the
DOD Installation Restoration Program (IRP).

CERCLA: The Phase I review of past waste generation
(con't) and management practices at AEDC resulted
in identification of 34 sites and/or
activities considered as areas of concera
for potential contamination and migration
of contaminants. Twelve of the 34 sites
assessed did not warrant further evalution.
The remaining 22 sites were evaluated
using the Hazard Assessment Rating
Methodology (HARM). The HARM process
takes into account characteristics of
potential receptors, waste characteristics,
pathways of migration, and specific
characteristics of the site related to
waste management practices. The 22 sites
rated were reduced to the 17 by combining
those in close geographic proximity.
The final Phase I recononendations were to
retain sites Nos. 1 through 12 in the IRP
for further action. This includes Phase
IV (remedial) action on site No. 1
(Landfill No. 2/Leaching Pit No. 2).
Sites 13 through It'judged to have minimal
potential to create environmental contam-
ination and were deleted from further
consideration.
Initial planning for Phase IV remedial
action at Site No. 1 is underway. A
tentative schedule for action was adopted
at a January 16, 1985 meeting between
representatives of the U.S. Air Force
Systems Command, U. S. Army Corps of
Engineers and State of Tennessee. The
initial schedule requires a Remedial
Action Plan (RAP) to be cong>leted and a
construction contract awarded by
September 30, 1985. Details for Phase II
action at the remaining 11 sites are
pending.
TOXICS: The October 13, 1978 Federal Facilities
Compliance Agreement entered into between
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
and the Department of the Air Force has
been completed. Remaining PCB Systems at
AEDC will be managed as per existing
environmental regulations.

Money is needed to correct the infiltration
problems of the main plant system.
Infiltration problems in the main plant system
and at the housing area need to be corrected.
Replacement of sewer lines in the housing area
has significantly reduced the infiltration
problem and plans are underway to replace
additional lines. A project is underway to
inspect approximately 33,800 linear feet of
sanitary sewer at the main industrial site.
Once problem areas are identified, replace-
ment of deteriorated lines will be required.

A meeting was held in January 1984 to resolve
401 certification problems. The State of
Tennessee has held up the renewal of the NPDES
permit because of a disagreement over the
limits for total nitrobodies. Action on this
has been going on since August 1982. The basic
conflict is 1.0 mg/1 of total nitrobodies
versus 0.1 mg/1 the State has requested. The
Army intends to appeal this limit. Because of
the lack of information on the toxicity of TNT
and RDX, the State set a detectable limit,
not a BAT limit/ which we think should be
1.0 mg/1. The Army took action in April
1983 by petitioning EPA to establish a
final drinking water standard for TNT and
RDX. We are waiting for the State to back
off the Notice of Decision, August 1983
so they can issue a 401 certification.
Because of the lack of progress on this
permit, corrective action on the coal pile
runoff was unresolved and compliance de-
layed. Through efforts of the State and
EPA, the Army is proceeding to build a
treatment system to take care of the coal
runoff problem based on the draft permit
conditions.
Surveys conducted by the Army Toxic and
Hazardous Material Agency in 1980, indicated
groundwater contamination by TNT and RDX.
Contamination was detected off-post, but is
is not considered to be a health problem.
The major cause of the contamination was 11
industrial waste settling lagoons which
have been closed.
Residues from explosives have been found in
the MAAP water supply below Army standards.
The Army's toxicological studies show that
49 micrograms per liter for TNT and 35
micrograms per liter for RDX are safe for
human consumption in drinking water.
Studies of long term effects by the Army
have been recently completed. The State of
-------
Page 4
Milan Army Ammunition Plant
Tennessee has requested a decision by EPA
to determine the validity and acceptability
of the Army's position. EPA's decision
will be based on the Army's work.
ACTION NEEDED
EPA needs to establish a drinking water
standard for TNT and RDX as soon as possible.
401 certification is needed so that action
on the permit can proceed. Realistic permit
parameters need to be established.
Studies have been conducted in the mixing
zone of the receiving streams to determine
allowable concentrations for total nitro-
bodies. 401 certification should be soon.

NAS Memphis sewage reatment plant was
discontinued on 11 August 1984, at which time
the NAS Memphis sewage system was tied into the
City of Millington's collection/treatment
system. The old NAS Memphis sewage treatment
plant has now been demolished.
RCRA: In compliance. Permit issued June 6, 1986.
Memphis now has a military Environmental
Manager and a civilian hazardous waste
coordinator, both working full time on hazardous
waste management and disposal.
CERCLA: The Navy Assessment and Control of Installation
Pollutants (NACIP) Program was developed to -
identify and control environmental contamination
from past use and disposal of hazardous
substances. The program is conqposed of three
phases:
Phase I. Initial Assessment Study (IAS). The
IAS for NAS Memphis has been completed. The
study concludes that while none of the sites
pose an immediate threat to human health or to
the environment, five warrant further investigation
in Phase II.
Phase II« A Confirmation Study, involving
actual sampling and monitoring of the five
sites is underway to confirm or deny the
existence of the suspected contamination and to
quantify the extent of any problems that may
exist. The five sites are the N-121 Plating
Shop Dry Well, the N-126 Plating Shop Dry Well,
the South Side Landfill, the N-121 Plating Shop
Storm Drain and Sewer, and the Cemetery Landfill.
Installation of monitoring wells began in late
1984 and additional monitoring wells will be
installed after the winter wet and cold weather
subsides.
Phase HI* The results of the Confirmation
Study will be used to evaluate the necessity of
conducting mitigating actions or clean-up operations

PROBLEM AREAS
a. Waters Attached is a letter from TDHE
expressing concern about a potential health
hazard as a result of the additional water
requirement for fire protection at the newly
constructed Commissary Store. There is a
possiblity for contamination of the water
suppply through cross connections, and possible
reduction of main water pressure below 20 psi
when the fire protection system is activated.
b. RCRA: To improve the Hazardous Waste (HW)
management program at this activity, a HW
storage building with HW accumulation staging
facilities have been designed and planned for
construction* Authorization to begin construction
of the storage and staging facilities has not
been granted, pending approval of a part B
permit from EPA and TDHE. NAS Memphis HW
personnel are experiencing undue hardship in HW
management and limitations in HW disposal
without the new facility.
ACTION NEEDED
a. Attached is a letter to SOUTHNAVFACENGCOM
requesting assistance to correct the deficiency,
I.E. low pressure cut off, resulting from the
fire protection requirement at the new Commissary
Store. In addition, Naval Air Station Memphis
Instruction 113300.1A has been issued to
establish procedures and define responsibilities
for the detection and elimination of cross-
connections, as well as for the prevention of
the creation of new cross-connections. A

COMPLIANCE STATUS
AIR: The K-1501 Steam Plant Facility does not
fully comply with State and Federal air
standards Cor opacity for coal-fired steam
plants. This steam plant was installed in
1943. Since 1943, the facility has been
retrofitted and electrostatic precipitators
(ESP) were added in 1977. The age and
design of the equipment are causing increasing
problems with the efficient boiler and ESP
operation. A task, team was established in
1985 to identify areas for Improvement.
During the winter of 1985, the steam plant
was switched to gas to comply with opacity
standards. This action was taken with the
understanding of the Tennessee Department
oŁ Health and Environment (TDHE). The
final recommendations oŁ the task team
will be issued within the next six months.
The currently oeprating permit fo the K-
1501 Steam Plant is No. 020515F and will
expire on October 1, 1986. The TDHE last
audited the K-1501 Steam Plant on September 19,

utilized to neutralize both acidic and
caustic waste and a Blowdown Cooling Water
Treatment System is utilized for the
Recirculating Cooling Water System.
Preliminary discussions with the State and
EPA have occurred and an application for a
permit modification is being prepared to
incorporate the new TSCA incinerator scrubber
effluent and the riew Central Neutralization
facility effluent into the NPDES permit.
RCRA: Out of compliance in regards to clousure plan.
The ORGDP hazardous waste facilities and
activities are in compliance with RCRA
interim status standards. The Part A Permit
Application has been submitted. Seventeen
Part B Permit Applications and one closure
plan were submitted to the State and EPA
before the November 1, 1985, deadline. Two
surface impoundments (K-1407-B and K-1407-C)
located at the ORGDP do not meet the
technological standards for land units
specified in the 1984 reauthorization of
RCRA and Plans are currently underway to
have these units closed out by November 1,
1988. Four new RCRA facilities are being
constructed and will be online in 1986 and
1987. Part B Permit Applications have been
prepared and submitted to EPA for these
units.
The last RCRA inspection at the ORGDP
occurred on May 15, 1986, and was per-

PCBs to offsite disposal facilities.
Radioactively contaminated PCBs are stored
onsite with the knowledge of the TDHE and
the EPA. The material is awaiting disposal
in the TSCA incinerator that is currently under
construction. A TSCA/PCB audit was performed
by the EPA on December 17, 1985. Notice of
Violation will be issued concerning storage,
marking and recordkeeping.
PROBLEM AREAS
1. The need to bring the K-1501 Steam

COMPLIANCE STATUS
AIR: The facility is in compliance with State and
Federal air regulations.
WATER: Potable water is obtained from a plant located
on the Y-12 site. Raw water is obtained froar
Melton Hill Lake on the Clinch River. The
water meets health standards after treatment.
WASTEWATER: The new NPDES permit for ORNL, issued on
February 27, 1986, covers all point-source
discharges and contains a compliance schedule
for a new, centralized, nonradioactive
wastewater treatment facility. A Federal
Facility Compliance Agreement for satisfying
the NPDES permit requirements was signed by
DOE on February 12, 1986.
A coal yard runoff treatment system completed
however, the system does not have the
capability of handling sludge. Because of this
inability the system must be shutdown periodical-
ly to manually remove sludge. A project is
nearly complete which will continuously remove
the sludge and dewater it prior to disposal.
RCRA: The facility is in compliance. The Part A
Permit Application is on file and all Part B
Permit Applications were submitted by November 1,
1985. The facility has been inspected by the
State and EPA. The most recent inspection on
January 26, 1986, showed no violations of
RCRA requirements.

RCRA: Recent sampling of the two lagoons at ORNL may
(Con't) prove them to be removed from the RCRA
system, even though groundwater monitoring is
in place and certification was made on
November 8, 1985.
ORNL generates some organic wastes which are
both radioactive and hazarsous. These are
presently being stored pending completion of
the TSCA incinerator at the Oak Ridge Gaseous
Diffusion Plant.
CERCLA: Sources and contaminated sites not covered under
RCRA are addressed by a DOE CERCLA Type program.
Past research, development, and waste management
activities at ORNL have produced a number of
facilities contaminated with low-level radioactive
and/or hazardous chemical wastes. Such sites
include solid waste storage areas, waste ponda,
seepage pits, dedicated environmental research
areas, and the areas surrounding these sites.
In August 1984, DOE submitted an updated list of
past disposal sited to the State oŁ Tennessee
and to U.S. EPA Region IV. At that time, 29
sites were identified. Now a total of 81 sites
have been identified. Remedial action is
expected to be covered under RCRA Section
3004(u). An ORNL Remedial Action Program
already exists and is providing routine
maintenance and surveillance at all program
sites. Groundwater monitoring capabilities are
being provided where needed to assess site
releases, with many of the sites already
undergoing extensive site characterization.
The Phase I - Installation Assessment required
under DOE order 5480.14 (CERCLA Program) will
be completed in Spring 1986.
TOXICS: Toxic waste are handled at this facility and
a drum storage area is being planned for the
temporary storage of these materials.

have been submitted to the Tennessee Air
Pollution Control Division. A Federal Facility
Compliance Agreement was signed by DOE on April 14,
1982, to ensure the installation of baghouses
at the steam plant to control particulate
matter. The final compliance schedules were
met for all boilers. The baghouses have been
tested and results demonstrating compliance
have been accepted by the State of Tennessee.
The steam plant is out of compliance due to the
"hot standby" issue. This issue is being
addressed by DOE/Tennessee/EPA.
WATER: Potable water is obtained from a plant on the
Y-12 property which also supplies water to the
City oŁ Oak. Ridge and other Oak Ridge facilities.
The water supply is from Melton Hill Lake on
