THE DEFENSE ENVIRONMENTAL RESTORATION PROGRAM
CERCLA
The Defense Environmental Restoration Program (DERP) is compatible
and consistent with the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) CERCLA
Program.
All sites go through the steps of Preliminary Assessment/Site
Inspection and, when deemed necessary by the EPA, scoring by the Hazard
Ranking System (HRS). If the HRS score is high enough (28.5 or above) to
qualify the site for placement on the NPL, then SARA/CERCLA, guidelines
are applied in carrying out the investigatory and remediation phases of
the program. DERP procedures for cleaning up hazardous waste sites are
described and shown graphically in this text.
Preliminary Assessment/Site Inspection (PA/SI) is an installation-wide
study to determine whether there are sites on the installation that
may pose hazards to the public health or environment. Available infor-
mation is collected on the source, nature, extent and magnitude of
hazardous substance releases at sites on the installation. These site
data, plus samples collected by DoD are assembled into a package of
information describing which facilities (or sites) have the potential
to endanger human health and/or environment.
Hazard Ranking - Using data collected during the PA/SI, EPA applies
the Hazard Ranking System (HRS) to assess the potential relative to
human health and the environment. If the HRS score exceeds 28.5, the
site is eligible for inclusion on the NPL.
Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (RI/FS) - An RI/FS is a
comprehensive investigation of individual sites identified in the
PA/SI as potential threats. All contaminants and their migration
pathways are defined, potential risk to public health and the environ-
ment are assessed, and a comprehensive, quantitative risk assessment is
carried out. Remedial action alternatives are evaluated in terms of
their cost and effectiveness; and in coordination with regulatory
agencies and the public, the DoD identifies the remedial action plan
chosen for implementation at the site in the form of a Record of
Decision.
Interagency Agreement - If a site qualifies for placement on the NPL,
SARA mandates DoD and EPA enter into an agreement as to the
execution and timing of remedial action(s) at that site. An agreement
may be entered into during the Remedial Investigation phase of the
program to fulfill the statutory mandate and to establish a sound
working relationship with the EPA and the State.
23
-------
Remedial Design/Remedial Action (RD/RA) - The RD/RA includes
design and implementation of the chosen alternatives to address
problems at the sites. Contaminant treatment processes are con-
structed, operated, maintained and monitored to observe the effects
of the remedial action to be sure the hazardous waste site is no
longer a threat.

COMPLIANCE STATUS
AIR, WATER, The installation has not produced a product since
WASTE WATER: the 1940's. It was declared excess in 197 3, it
has been partially razed, and over 80 percent of
the original land area has been sold. Therefore,
traditional measures of compliance with air,
water, waste water, and RCRA compliance are not
applicable. There is a potential for surface and
groundwater contamination by explosive compounds
and heavy metals because of operational and
disposal practices during production.
UST: The 3 USTs previously reported have been removed
and remediated. Two additional smaller tanks
have been located during building demolition. One
has been removed and one is in process.
RCRA: See above.
CERCLA: The installation is on the CERCLA National
Priority List and a CERCLA Section 120 Inter-
Ager.cy Agreement became effective in March 1990.
An 'RI/FS b3ga~ ir. 1985. A 2,8r3 -.ere parcel of
land identified as Area A was oecontanunated by
the Department of the Army (DA) and was disposed
of in August 1990 by the General Services
Administration.
The U.S. Army Environmental Center (AEC) is the
Army action agency for AAAP and is currently
conducting an all-inclusive RA/FS process through
a record of decision (ROD) for Areas A and B.
In the spirit of regulatory partnership, the Army,
the State ADEM, and EPA reqion 4, developed the
25
-------
Page 2
Alabama Army Ammunition Plant, Alabama
remedial investigation strategy with the unified
goal of producing a defensible final decision for
AAAP. Pursuant to the partnership, a Site
Management Plan (SMP) was developed by the Army
that describes existing documents, site
descriptions, on and off post pathways of
concerns, the reuse scenario and a general
programmatic approach the Army will take to
remediate AAAP. The general approach includes:
programmatic strategy, implementation strategy,
schedule of general activities, and interim and
final removal action to be taken. The Draft Final
SMP is currently under regulatory review, the
final approval of the SMP is scheduled for May
1995.
The implementation strategy planned for the RI/FS
activities at AAAP is divided into two major study
areas (Area A and Area B) and further subdivided
into operable units. Each area is being addressed
by continuous, concurrent and decisive program of
RI/FS, Administrative action (Proposed Plan
and ROD),
Remedial Design, Remedial Action and Operation and
Maintenance. Currently, the RI/FS process is
scheduled to be completed in Dec.,'95 followed by
PP and ROD. During the course of the
investigation process at AAAP, releases or threats
of releases were discovered that required early
action. The Army implemented three Interim RODs
in accordance with EPA regulation for conducting
Non-Time Critical Removal Actions.
An IROD for Areas 23 and D (area A 0U2) and
Stockpiled Soils (Area B 0U2) were completed in
Sept.,'94. The selected alternative for both
actions consisted of removal and subsequent
incineration of explosive contaminated soils;
solidification of lead-contaminated soils and on-
site land filling. Approximately 21,500 cubic
yards of explosive contaminated was remediated by
incineration and approximately 18,000 cubic yards
of lead contaminated soil was solidified.
An IROD for Areas 6, 7, 10 and 21 within Area B
(Area B 0U3) was approved by EPA, ADEM, and the
26
-------
Page 3
Alabama Army Ammunition Plant, Alabama
Army in Nov.'94. As part of the IROD, removal
andsubsequent incineration of explosive-
contaminated soils and sediments; and
solidification of lead-contaminated soils began on
Dec 19,'94. The criteria for excavating soil and
sediment was based on industrial land use.
Remediation of contaminated soil and sediment
shall be conducted on-site. Following treatment,
treated soil and sediment shall be land filled on
site. This interim action is scheduled to last
approximately 6 months.
TOXICS: Toxicants are not known to be handled on the
installation.
POLLUTION PREVENTION
There is very little waste of any kind generated
on the installation other than those associated
with the clean-up activities. A contract to
remove the asbestos containing materials and
dispose of the remaining buildings on the
installation was awarded in September 1992 and is
currently progressing with May 1995 as a target
completion date.
ENVIRONMENTAL AUDIT
There has not been, nor is there a need for an
audit over the studies completed, currently
underway., or planned by AEC.
PROBLEM AREAS
See discussior. above cn CERCLA.
ACTION NEEDED
C-mplete the programs underway and make final
decision on disposition of the remaining facility.

ALABAMA ARMY AMMUNITION PLANT
Childersburg, Alabama
The Alabama Army Ammunition Plant (AAAP) covers 5,168 acres
just east of the Coosa River north of Childersburg, Talladega
County, Alabama. The U.S. Army terminated manufacturing
operations in August 1945. The plant was in standby status until
197 3, when it was declared excess property. Explosives
manufactured at AAAP included trinitrotoluene, nitrocellulose,
and tetryl. Most of the structures used in manufacturing have
been demolished and/or destroyed by controlled burning.
Sources of contamination include disposal sites, as well as
spills and general wastes in the manufacturing process.
One area, referred to as the Leaseback area, was sold to
Kimberly-Clark, Inc., leased back to the government for
removal of equipment and decontamination of the area, and
then returned to Kimberly-Clark. That lease expired in 1982. A
2,80 3 acre parcel of land named Area A was decontaminated and
sold in August 1990, leaving the current area out of the original
area of 13,233 acres.
Both ground water and surface water are contaminated with
trinitrotoluene and dinitrotoluene, according to analyses
conducted by the Army. Surface water is also contaminated with
lead. Ground water is the source of drinking water in the area,
with the exception of the Kimberly-Clark Plant, which uses
the Coosa River. The City of Childersburg uses groundwater for
drinking water, but Talladega Creek, considered to be a ground
water divide, is between AAAP and the city. The total population-
using the river as a source of drinking water is estimated to be
about 700.
AAAP is participating in the Installation Restoration
Program, the specially funded program established in 1978 under
which the Department of Defense has been cleaning up its
hazardous waste sites. The Army has completed Phase I (records
search) and Phase II (preliminary survey), Area A soil
remediation by incineration is scheduled to beginning in 1993.
Phase III(RI/FS Study) in Area A, and is nearing completion of a
RI/FS in Area B.

AIR: Coal boilers in compliance by source test. EPA
multimedia inspection conducted April 4, 1989.
ADEM inspection August 1, 1993. All areas are in
compliance with no violations. Latest EPA/ADEM
multimedia inspection conducted July 29-30 1992.
No violations were reported.
WATER: In compliance. Water is obtained from City of
Anniston. Potable water is tested monthly by Fort
McClellan MEDDAC unit. Anniston Army Depot
conducted an in house drinking water survey with
the help of a West Point Cadet in June 1994. This
survey was performed to check compliance with the
Safe Drinking' Water Act and special attention was
given to lead concentrations since the standard
was recently lowered. As a result of this study,
four water coolers were replaced with certified
lead free construction.
WASTE WATER: In compliance. The NPDES permit (AL0002658) is"
current and was issued September 25, 1991 and
became effective October 1, 1991. The permit was
modified and reissued Septiirbar 30, 1993 . The
modification became effe::;.va October 1, 1993, and
will expire October 30, 1936. The permit is for
the operation of an Industrial Waste Treatment
Plant, a domestic treatment plant, four
groundwater treatment plants, a spray field
operation, and thirteen storm water out falls.
The discharge point is Choccolocco Creek, Dry
Creek, and an annamed tributary of Cane Creek.
The last inspection was by ADEM on November 29,
1994 thru December 1, 1994. Report received from
ADEM on January 20, 1995 indicating ANAD was in compliance.

UST: ANAD has 13 regulated petroleum UST's. Eight meet
new tank standards. The remaining UST's will be
upgraded in FY 95. When the upgrade program is
complete ANAD will have nine (9) UST's. Various
levels of investigations are in progress at four
former UST sites.
RCRA: The most recent ADEM inspection conducted July
18-20, 1994. This inspection was in conjunction
with EPA Region IV. NOV issued as a result of the
investigation, ANAD responded to NOV's and
received ADEM approval. Currently the depot
operates under interim status. Applications have
been made for separate Part B permits for each of
the following: 1) Hazardous waste storage
(including drum storage and chemical munitions
storage), 2) Open Burning-Open Detonation 3)
Deactivation Furnace for obsolete ammunition and
4) Chern Demil. Part B permit for the
Deactivation Furnace was revised and resubmitted
to ADEM and EPA region IV, in July 1989 and
February 1994. Since July 1989, 4 NODs have been
issued, the last of which was December 4, 1991.
ANAD expects the permit to be out for public
comment in July 19S5. RCRA Part B was originally
submitted in July 1990 for the Chemical Stockpile
Disposal Program. The response to the third NOD
was along with the Health Risk Assessment was
submitted on February 7, 1995. The facility is in
compliance v?ith interim status regulations.
Intense effort is o i-going for ensuring compliance
with interim status regulation.
CERCLA: The Draft Remedial Investigation was submitted to
the regulators in June 1992. EPA commented that
this report lacked d^ta for a complete Baseline
Risk Assessment., which wculd be required before
.ANAD could nove towards a Record of Decision.
Work plans? for additional field work were approved
by the regulators ir October 1994 . Field work
began "Decenber 94. This effort will produce a
RI/FS document which divides the effcrt into two
operable units; soils and groundwater.
The groundwater treatment units referenced in the
interim Record cf Decision for the Groundwater
Operable Unit, September 1991, were turned off in
April 1992 while ANAD conducted a Dye Trace Study

as part of the Remedial Investigation. The
Groundwater treatment units were' turned back on at
the completion of a project to repipe effluent
from the units from discharge onto the ground to a
large receiving stream in March 1994.
The final groundwater tracing studies was
submitted to the regulators in June. 1994.
Results show dye traveling in 3 directions in long
distances at a rapid rate. Sites where dye has
been detected, along with off post monitoring
wells located south of the Southeast Industrial
Area, are being monitored for contaminants found
in ANAD's groundwater. This monitoring began in
January 1995. A contingency plan is being
developed which will diagram a response to be
taken if contamination above MCLs is found in a
private off post drinking water supply. This
contingency plan will be finalized in March 1995
A Facility to treat discharge from the plating
shop (Bldg. 114) for hexavalent chromium has been
operational since May 1992.
The Final Site Investigation (ESI) for the
Ammunition Storage Area was submitted to the
regulators in November 1994. Based on the finds
of the ESI, work plans were developed for the
P.T/FS for the Ammunition Storage Ar^a. These work
plans were finalized in January 1995. Work is
scheduled to begin April 1995.
A groundwater extraction system optimization study
was completed on the groundwater pump and treat
-'/stems in May 1993. The CCE, Mobile District
began implementing recommendations from this study
during 4Q94. The COE determined that there are
biological and mineral problems with the wells and
the treatment facilities which cannot be solved
'¦'ithov.t additional study. A pilot study will be
conducted during 4Q95 to determine the best
solutions to the biological and mineral problems.
A monitoring well with elevated levels of TCE
located at ANAD's boundary is being converted into
an extraction well. This is scheduled for
completion 3Q95. Water from this well will be
added to the groundwater treatment system at
Building 114.

A supplemental investigation of an old v/aste
chemical lagoon (Facility 414 Lagoon) was
completed in October 1994. The liquid waste from
this lagoon was removed in the late 1970's and the
lagoon was back filled. This investigation
determined that a source removal is necessary to
remove a layer of sludge which is suspected to
exist, based on the 1992 RI. The source removal
is scheduled to begin in 1Q96.
An emergency removal action was conducted
beginning in November 1992 and continuing through
January 1993. Sludge was removed from an
abandoned steam cleaning pit at the industrial
waste treatment plant after tests showed that
there were high concentrations of heavy metals and
benzene in the sludge. The sludge was transported
off site co an approved hazardous waste TSDF.
Further investigation on this pit will be
conducted during the upcoming RI activities.
An emergency removal action was conducted
beginning September 1993 and was completed
December 1993. During an excavation for the
installation of a sump, buried waste material and
contaminated soil were encountered. The waste
material appeared to be abrasive blasting media
and the soil was contaminated with heavy metals
and VOC's. VOC contamination is suspected to have
migrated from the old chemical waste lagoons,
which are being investigated for possible removal
action. The soil was transported off site to an
approved hazardous waste location.
POLLUTi'ON PREVENTION
WASTE
MINIMIZATION: ANAD's second aluminum Ion Vapor Deposition (IVD)
unit is fully operational. Tne unit enables ANAD
to reduce the use of cadmium exectroplating by
90%. ANAD is waiting on full approval from the
Tank Automotive Command (TACOM) to enable aluminum
coating for all parts (e. g., fasteners) currently
cadmium plated.
Also, ANAD has installed (or is in the process of
installing) several hiqh pressure power washers to
clean parts instead of utilizing petroleum
solvents and trichloroethylene. Currently, three
32
-------
Page 5
Anniston Army Depot, AL.
(3) are fully operational.
Additionally, ANAD has installed a Halon recovery
unit to recycle Halon utilized in fire suppression
systems. Verification of the quality of the halon
produced by the system has been completed.
Reconditioned/recycled Halon meets all
requirements of ASTM D-5632.
ANAD has procured another machine coolant recycle
unit.
ANAD has procured a vehicle hull abrasive blasting
system that will operate more efficiently than the
existing methods while
producing less waste. The system utilizes
stainless steel shot to remove paint from vehicle
hulls and turrets. The system will operate more
efficiently than the existing methods (i. e., coal
ore slag) and produce less waste. The system is
expected on line in the 2d quarter FY95.
The depot also utilizes the services of a solvent
recycler (Safety Kleen) for the multiple parts
washers that are located in the industrial
operations. This minimizes the amount of solvent
actually disposed.
ANAD has procured a hi^h pressure (up to 50,000
psi) water jet cleaning system to clean internal
engine parts. The system should reduce waste
generation by reducing or eliminating the use of
vapor degreasers, detergent cleaners and abrasive
blasting machines. The system is expected on line
in the 3d quarter FY35.
STORM WATER: A storm water pollution prevention plan has been
prepared in house ^nd was approved by the
Commander on April 11, 1994. This plan provided
guidance as to the use of Best Management
practices in order to prevent contaminants from
entering the storm sewer system. Employee
training was performed in conjunction with RCRA
training. A pollution prevention team has been
established and inspection cf all storm water
areas are performed daily.

history, generates about $700,000 annually. It
was expanded in FY 90 to include non-metallic
items, which generates approximately $20,000
annually.
Depot utilizes a shop-towel recycling service to
lessen the burden of disposal of once used rags.
Prior to sending items to the off site landfill, a
determination is made for identifying potential
items which may be used by depot operations, or
sold off depot. Items such as wood scrap, wooden
boxes, pallets, corrugated boxes, and eight types
of packing materials are bought to a central
location, sorted, and reissued or marketed off
depot.
There is a constant search for finding stable
markets through which recyclable materials can be
sold, since many recyclable items have minimal
monetary value when sold as scrap.
Several can crushers are being procured in order
to recycle empty paint cans.
Styrofoam packing, which is manufactured from
shredding scrap polystyrene, is just one of the
successful commodities generated by recycling
efforts on the depot. An "off post" as well as
"on post" market has been created by this
innovative process.
ANAD has been very successful in reducing landfill
waste and generating revenue through its recycling
efforts;.
PROBLEM AREAS
WASTE WATER: Limits have been exceeded at the Three Other Sites;
Groundwater Treatment Units (#003, 004 and 005)
for Methylene Chloride and phenol. Previously,
effluent from the groundwater treatment units was
discharged onto the ground. ANAD requested and
was granted an NPDES permit modification to allow
the three unity to be piped together, with final
effluent discharging to Choccolocco Creek. The
NPDES now calls for monitoring only of specific
organic coiupour.ds. The piping project was

Hazardous Waste Site Listed Under The
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act
of 1980 (CERCLA)(SUPERFUND)
ANNISTON ARMY DEPOT (SOUTHEAST INDUSTRIAL AREA)
Anniston, Alabama
Anniston Ordnance Depot, in Anniston, Calhoun County, Alabama,
was officially designated on October 14, 1941, as an ammunition
storage area. Over the years, the mission was expanded to include the
overhauling and repairing of combat vehicles and artillery equipment.
Now named Anniston Army Depot (ANAD), it has become known as the "Tank
and Antitank Center of the Free World." The area of ANAD contained in
this site is the 600 acres within and near the Southeast Industrial or
Vehicle Rebuild Area. Based upon disposal practices, geography, and
potential threat, various individual disposal sites within the area
were aggregated into a single site. These wastes reportedly contain
chlorinated organic solvents used in degreasing and heavy metals
resulting from plating operations.
There is potential for hazardous substances to be released to Dry
Creek,which is used for recreation. According to analyses reported by
the Army in 1982, metals and chlorinated solvents are present in
ground water. Calhoun County gets its drinking water from ground
water. The geohydrologic situation in Calhoun County is very complex.
Further studies are required to define the problem. Ground water
appears to move through fractures and faults, which are numerous and
diverse in the area. The same bedrock is under both
the Southeast Industrial Area of ANAD and Coldwater Spring, the sole
source of drinking water for Anniston's municipal water system. Thus,
the spring is a potential target if ground water contamination
migrates. The municipal system serves at least 39,000 people.
ANAD is participating in the Installation Restoration Program,
the specially funded program established in 1978 under which the
Department of Defense' has been cleaning up its hazardous waste sites.
The Army has completed Phase I (records search), Phase II (preliminary
survey), and Phase III (assessment of roiaedial action alternatives).
Two portions of the site have been clojeu ander tne Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act. Wastes and contaminated soils were
excavated and removed to a permitted facility.

REDSTONE ARSENAL (USARMYINASA)
Huntsville, Alabama
Redstone Arsenal (RSA) is located in Huntsville, Madison County, Alabama. RSA
encompasses 38,300 acres, 36,455 of which the Department of the Army controls..
The George C. Marshall space Flight Center (MSFC) leases the remaining 1,841
acres. Approximately 15,500 acres are woodlands, 9,200 are leased for
agricultural use, and 4, 100 are designated as the Wheeler National Wildlife
Refuge. Morton-Thiokol Chemical Corp., a government contractor-operator, uses
a portion of RSA property for the development of solid rocket propellants and
the General Aniline and Film Corp. leases approximately 10 acres for the
production of iron carbonyl. Olin-Mathieson Chemical Co. (DDT manufacturing),
Raytheon Co. (rocket motor assembly), Rohm and Haas Allied Chemical and Dye
(chlorine manufacturing), ana Stauffer Chemical Co. (chlorine manufacturing)
have conducted operations at RSA in the past.
Three separate military facilities (Redstone Ordnance Plant, Huntsville
Arsenal, and Gulf Chemical Warfare Depot) were established at RSA in 1941 and
worked together from 19 42 to 1945, producing conventional and chemical
munitions used during World War II. After the war, Gulf Chemical Depot stored
captured German chemical agents and surplus chemical munitions and agents. The
munitions were buried in various locations throughout RSA. As activities
increased, the Army incorporated all lands that the three facilities previously
used into the present day RSA.
Six mustard gas manufacturing plants operated at RSA from 1942 until 1943.
These plants produced substantial quantities of sulfur monochloride, ethylene,
brine, caustic soda, liquid caustic, chlorine, and thionly chloride. Lewisite,
a chemical warfare agent containing arsenic, was manufactured in four of the
plants. Wastes generated from lewisite manufacturing were disposed in shallow
surface impoundments.
Following World War .II, the chemical manufacturing facilities were leased to
private firms for production of commercial chemicals and pesticides. The
manufacture of DDT and other pesticides resulted in significant amounts of
hazardous wastes. Large quantities of waste water containing DDT residues were
discharged to Huntsville Spring Branch. An 11-mile stream segment, including
Huntsville Spring Branch, Indian Creek and a portion of the Tennessee River in
the Triana area was placed on the National Priorities list in 1983 due to past
DDT disposal practices. In 1983, Olin-Mathieson, the principal DDT
manufacturer, began cleanup actions under a U.S. Justice Department consent
decree.
In October 19 83, RSA submitted a RCRA closure/post-closure plan for DDT
Landfill Ql. RSA also submitted a Part B permit application in May 19 84.
Eased on information provided in the closure'pcst-clo£'ire plan, EPA authorized
RSA to remove DDT Landfill Ql from its Part n permit application. Following
revisions to the Part B permit application, RSA was issued a permit for nine
Hazardous Waste storage Igloos in April 1986. RSA submitted a revised Part B
permit application on October 21, 1988. The Storage Igloos, Open Burning Pans
and four new storage Igloos continued to operate under interim status. MSFC
filed three Part A applications for several areas on its leased portion of the
site; however, MSFC submitted a closure plan in lieu of a Part B application.
Two aquifers beneath RSA are considered interconnected and are referred to as
the Tuscumbia-Fort Payne aquifer. Three municipal systems have wells located
within a 4-mile radius of RSA. An estimated 39,900 people utilize the wells as
their source of drinking water.

water is supplied to outlying areas not on the
potable water system.
WASTE WATER: In compliance. EPA last inspected on Jul 8,'94.
A new NPDES permit, AL0000019, containing storm
water discharge monitoring requirements became
effective May 1,'93. A BMP plan is currently
being written for the permit. Inadequate amounts
of rainfall did not allow for sampling of all
storm water runoff areas. The new treatment plant
operated by Proctor/Davis/Ray under a separate
NPDES permit has not had a violation since the
start up in Sep.,'92.
UST: Currently there are 64 active underground tanks on
Redstone Arsenal. Of these, 19 are registered
with ADEM. Most are unregulated tanks containing
#2 fuel oil jsad on site. These tanks are in the
process of being removed or upgraded to new
regulatory requirements by 1998. Leak detection
is being implemented on the required schedule
determined by the date of installation. Monthly

method used. ADEM receives and reviews tightness
testing results and tank removal. Tank site
closures and assessments are being completed.
Implementation of the tank management (TANKMAN)
software developed by the U.S. Army Environmental
Center is being accomplished.
RCRA: Permit is current: #AL7-210-020-742. Redstone
Arsenal is currently correcting a NOV from ADEM
dated Oct.26,'94. This NOV stems from an
inspection on Sep. 13-16,'94. Redstone is
currently operating under a RCRA Part B permit and
an interim RCRA Part B permit for the Open
Burn/Open Detonation operations. In 1989 a RCRA
Facility Assessment (RFA) was conducted by EPA at
Redstone for all known SWMUs on the installation
The RFA identified 286 potentially contaminated
SWMUs cn RSA. Ten additional sites have been
identified since 1989 increasing the number to
296. The SWMUs are being investigated as required
by RCRA 3004 (u) requirement of the Part B permit.
MICOM has responsibility for 210 SWMUs, 5 SWMUs
are part of Olin Corporations DDT abatement
program directly under a U.S. Justice Department
Consent Decree, and the remainder of the SWMUs are
the responsibility of the Marshall Space Flight
Center (MSFC). Of the 210 SWMUs for which MICOM
has responsibility, 107 may require no further
action at the present time as they are active
sites regulated by other permits. The remaining
103 will require further investigation. These
sites are eligible for DERA funding. DERA funding
is budgeted by Congress and all eligible projects
within DA must compete fcr funds. To date the
MICOM Environmental Office has initiated
investigations of 87 SWMUs. Action on the
rfir.air.j nc 16 sites is planned for FY95. Interim
remedial action is in progress or completed on the
6 most, ccntaminated sites. Current estimates
indicate that the cost to implement the RCRA
process for all 210 sites for which MICOM remains
responsibler is in excess of $500,000,000 and
could t.eke 15-20 years to complete. The MICOM
Environmental Office has currently spent over
$45,000,000 on this program.

currently negotiating a Federal Facilities
Agreement (FFA). All sites previously
investigated under RCRA corrective action mandates
are being transitioned to the CERCLA process.
TOXICS: PCB's are handled in accordance with the
applicable regulations. All PCB items are
disposed of through the DRMO located at this
installation. Asbestos is also handled in
accordance with applicable federal and stace
requirements. Redstone Arsenal currently has a
program to identify all asbestos materials in its
1900 buildings. The program is a 3 year contract
to locate and label all sources. Remedial actions
are based on results of this identification
program. Any removed asbestos is properly bagged
and disposed of in the installation landfill in a
separate asbestos location.
POLLUTION PREVENTION
Scrap metal and white ledger paper are recycled
through contracts handled by DRMO. An aluminum
can recycling
program is overseen by Morale and Welfare.
Hazardous waste minimization efforts include
solvent substitution, solvent recycling, paint
booth upgrading, supply control of materials, and
production procedure changes. Research is
currently underway for recycling ammonium
perchlorate, finding solvents to substitute for
chlorinated solvents in solid rocket motor
production, and finding an alternative agent to
replace water for propeilant desensitization. The
ammonium perchlorate recycling pilot plant will be
built somewhere other than Redstone Arsenal.

Superfund Hazardous Waste Site Listed Under The
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability
Act (CERCLA) as amended in 1986
REDSTONE ARSENAL (USARMYINASA)
Huntsville, Alabama
Redstone Arsenal (RSA) is located in Huntsville, Madison County, Alabama.
rsa encompasses 38,300 acres, 36,459 of which the Department of the Army
controls. The George c. Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) leases the
remaining 1,841 acres. Approximately 15,500 acres are woodlands, 9,200 are
leased for agricultural use, and 4, 100 are designated as the Wheeler National
wildlife nefuge. Morton-Thiokol Chemical Corp., a government
contractor-operator, uses a portion of RSA property for the development of
solid rocket propellants and the General Aniline and Film Corp. leases
approximately 10 acres for the production of iron carbonyl. Olin-Mathieson
chemical Co. (DDT manufacturing), Raytheon Co. (rocket motor assembly), Rohm
and Baas Allied chemical and Dye (chlorine manufacturing), and stauffer
Chemical Co. (chlorine manufacturing) have conducted operations at rsa in the
past.
Three separate military facilities (Redstone Ordnance Plant, Huntsville
Arsenal, and Gulf Chemical Warfare Depot) were established at RSA in 1941 and
worked together from 1942 to 1945, producing conventional and chemical
munitions used during World War II. After the war, Gulf chemical Depot stored
captured German chemical agents and surplus chemical munitions and agents. The
munitions were buried in various locations throughout RSA. As activities
increased, the Army incorporated all lands that the three facilities previously
used into the present day RSA.
Six mustard gas manufacturing plants operated at RSA from 1942 until
1943. These plants produced substantial quantities of sulfur monochloride,
ethylene, brine, caustic soda, liquid caustic, chlorine, and thionly chloride.
Lewisite, a chemical warfare agent containing arsenic, was manufactured in four
of the plants, wastes generated from lewisite manufacturing were disposed in
shallow surface impoundments.
Following World War II, the chemical manufacturing facilities were leased
to private firms for production of commercial chemicals and pesticides. The
manufacture of DDT and other pesticides resulted in significant amounts of
hazardous wastes. Large quantities of waste water containing DDT residues were
discharged to Huntsville Spring Branch. An 11-mile stream segment, including
Huntsville Spring Branch, Indian Creek and a portion of the Tennessee River in
the Triana area was placed on the National Priorities list in 1983 due to past
DDT disposal practices. In 1983, Olin-Mathieson, the principal DDT
manufacturer, began cleanup actions under a U.S. Justice Department consent
decree,
In October 1983, RSA submitted a RCRA closure/post-closure plan for DDT
Landfill Ql. RSA also submitted a Part B permit application in May 1984.
Based on information provided in the closure/post-closure plan, EPA authorized
RSA to remove DDT Landfill Ql from its Part B permit application. Following
revisions to the Part B permit application, RSA was issued a permit for nine
Hazardous Waste storage Igloos in April 1986. RSA submitted a revised Part B
permit application on October 21, 1988. The Storage Igloos, Open Burning Pans
and four new Storage Igloos continued to operate under interim status. MSFC
filed three Part A applications for several areas on its leased portion of the
site; however, MSFC submitted a closure plan in lieu of a Part B application.
Two aquifers beneath RSA are considered interconnected and are referred
to as the Tuscumbia-Fort Payne aquifer. Three municipal systems have wells
located within a 4-mile radius of RSA. An estimated 39,900 people utilize the
wells as their source of drinking water.

requested and was granted release by ADEM to
terminate water quality monitoring under the NPDES
permits for 2 outfalls at the washing plant and 3
outfalls for the mines. During 1990, one existing
WTS was expanded and an anoxic limestone trench
was installed to adjust pH of inflow passing
through another existing WTS- Plans for 5
additional wet land treatment systems (WTS) were
submitted to ADEM in 1989. One of these systems

ENVIRONMENTAL AUDIT
This facility was audited in May 1991 by TVA's
Environmental Audit Staff. ADEM last inspected
this facility on January 28, 1993.
PROBLEM AREAS
WASTE WATER: Temporary unpermitted discharges occurred from
Slurry Lake 2 primary spillway on Dec 23-29 and
31, 1990. A 75 year return interval rain event
was the cause for these unpermitted discharges
with 7.1 inches of rain falling at the Fabius site
within a 24 hour period. ADEM was promptly
notified of these occurrences.
Reclamation of the slurry lakes and gob pile have
been delayed due to the bond forfeiture
proceedings. Reclamation began in 1993. The
reclamation plan calls for intensive liming of the
areas each year for 3 years along with
fertilization and seeding each year. Both of
these reclamations impact the WTS construction to
be completed in 1993, and area associated with
impoundment 2.
69
-------
Page 2
Fabius Mines and Preparation Plant, TVA, AL.
ACTION NEEDED
Reclamation of the slurry lakes to be completed in
1997 will eliminate pumping acid water to the WTS.
Elimination of this water and the reclamation of
the gob pile will greatly enhance the amelioration
efficiency of this impoundment at WTS. If water
from reclaimed slurry lakes area requires
additional treatment, a chemical treatment pond
facility could be constructed downstream of the
slurry lake 2 primary spillway to prevent the
return to pumping. Other efficiency enhancements
for the Impoundment 2 WTS during the gob pile
reclamation will be 1) reroute unimpacted surface
waters away from the system and 2) enhance the 4
ALDs constructed for this system in 1992.

COMPLIANCE STATUS
AIR: In compliance. There are 6 general sources of air
emissions at CCAFS: boilers, paint spray booths,
hypergolic fuel and oxidizer handling systems,
solvent cleaning systems, and fugitive VOC
emissions. All are considered minor sources under
Florida Administrative Code 17-200, except
particulate emissions from sandblast yards -a major
emission source. Formerly there were 28 permits.
During the past two years, a program has been
initiated to combine similar sources into one
permit. 15 boilers were permitted together on one
permit, as were 5 sand blast yards/ paint yards.
This year's goal i3 to develop a comprehensive base
wide air operating permit to comply with recent
EPA/ FDEP Title V requirements. The number of
emission points to track may increase to over
1,000. A Jan. 12,'95 EPA inspection identified
several items of non-compliance. All deficiencies
have been corrected.
WATER: Working toward compliance. CCAS obtains water from
the City of Cocoa, Florida water system. The water
system originates from wells in east Orange County.
The water is rechlorinated at CCAS to maintain
adequate chlorine residuals throughout the CCAS
water distribution system. water is treated with
0.5 mg/1 of polyphosphate to reduce corrosion and
provide lead/copper control. No other additional
treatment is performed. quarterly sampling and
analysis records indicate the water quality at CCAS
is good. A lead and copper sampling program is
underway to determine future sampling frequencies
and corrective action. A May 4,'94 FDEP sanitary
survey of the CCAS water distribution system for
permit status identified 14 deficiencies, 9 of
which were corrected by Nov. 14,'94. The remaining
5 are being addressed, with estimated correction
dates between Jun. 1,'95 and Sep. 30,'96. Three of

Working toward compliance. There are 86 USTs at
CCAS including 12 regulated petroleum tanks, 54
unregulated petroleum tanks and 20 unregulated non-
petroleum tanks. Construction projects and
internal work requests have been initiated to
ensure all tanks achieve and maintain compliance in
the future. Current work is expected to be
completed by Jun 1,'95. USTs will be replaced
where needed, with above ground storage tank
systems with containment. These projects are
intended to prevent potential discharges to the
environment and to meet UST compliance deadlines.
A total of 115 USTs, petroleum and non-petroleum ,
have been removed.
RCRA: In compliance. EPA ID# FL2800016121. A Part B
Hazardous waste Permit (H005-185569) was issued by
FDEP on Mar. 13,'92. It allows CCAFS to operate
three storage facilities and one thermal treatment
facility. A new hazardous waste storage facility
has been built under Construction Permit #HC"05-
222328. The operating permit for the new storage
facility is expected to be issued by FDEP in
Feb.'95.
The IRP is currently regulated under the HSWA
portion of the RCRA permit. Currently, 11 SWMUs
are listed on the CCAS CAMP. The Phase II, Stage 2
RI/FS/ CMS final technical report was completed in
Aug.1991, and the follow up phase II, stage 3 RI/FS
sampling was completed in 1994. Two SWMUs had
interim measures performed in '93, while one had 2
measures in '94. Two SWMUs have been recommended
for no further remedial action planned (NFRAP), one
in '93, one in '94. Both are pending regulatory
review and comment. The RI/FS reports for the rest
of the 11 SWMUs will be completed in 1995. In
addition, 3 separate PA reports have been performed

Everglades National Park
LOCATION:
Homestead, Florida
I .D.:
FL141707048
MISSION:
Resource protection and public use.
AREA:
1,506,539 acres
POPULATION:
150 living within park, approximately 1.2 million
visitprs annually.
COMPLIANCE STATUS
AIR: In compliance with Clean Air Act as amended 1990,
and regulations.
The park continued to participate in EPA's National
Performance Audit Program (NPAP), an ozone audit
device was sent to the park in Dec. 1991 to test
our continuous ozone analyzer and the results were
considered excellent.
Dade County is a non-attainment area for ozone.
The park's ambient ozone monitoring site is located
in extreme SW Dade county; no exceedances of NAAQS
were experienced during 1993.
Dade County and the Park are in compliance for PM-
10(according to B. Mitchell Environmental
Protection Specialist, AQD-Denver).
Park sources of air pollutants are vehicular
traffic and smoke. Smoke from natural fires or
prescribed burns may be considered major. However,
prescribed burns are of short term duration of
occurrence.
The last inspection was approximately March 1^90 at
Dry Tortugas, and was conducted by FDER. We have
2? aiesel generators ranging in size from 10 kw to
125 kw. These are used for emeraency back up
power. Dry Tortugas National Park nas 3 generators
ranging from 60 kw to 100 kw. These are used for
primary power. All sources are minor, and meet
FDER permitting reauirements.
WATER: There are 16 water systems serving the facilities
of Everglades National Park and 2 systems serving
the Dry Tortuga National Park. Twelve of these are
public systems, water is purchased from outside
supplier?. The drinking water throughout the park
96
-------

is ground water and is chlorinated prior to use.
The drinking water at dry Tortugas National Park is
produced with a RO plant and by catching rain
water. All drinking water is chlorinated prior to
use. Two satellite areas ar supplied water from
local government water departments, Everglades City
and Florida Keys Aqueduct Authority. Due to
groundwater problems, FDEP has ordered the
upgrading of the Flamingo system. Design work is
underway towards a state ordered completion date of
Mar '96.
WASTE WATER: There are two waste water treatment plants within
the boundaries of the park.
Chekika: The plant at this recently acquired site
is in compliance. The permit number is DWO-0 3 3 and
is in the process of transfer from the Florida
Department of Parks and Recreation to the National
Park Service (NPS) in 1993.
Flamingo: The Evapo/ transpiration system (Eco
Pond) is under study by an A & E firm to determine
capacity as related to quantities of effluent
generated. Partial funding is available to design
corrective measures as needed.
UST: All Everglades' UST's have been removed and
replaced with above ground vaulted tanks as per
FDEP and Florida Administrative Code. CARs and
related RAPs have been completed or are in process
at this time.
RCRA:
CERCLA:
Dry Tortugas 's USTs have been replaced with double
walled fiberglass tanks. All inspections completed
and an operating permit issued.
In compliance. This facility is a small quantity
generator. The park's policy is to dispose of
hazardous waste as it is generated, and minimize
the acquisition of hazardous materials.
This facility is not on the NPL list and has no
known DERA sites.
TOXICS:
No PCBs or other toxins are handled.
POLLUTION PREVENTION
In February 1991, Everglades joined with Dow
Chemical Co. to initiate a park-wide recycling
program. Approximately 275 containers are located

throughout the park for recycling plastic, glass
and aluminum. In addition a recycling building was
constructed to facilitate the sorting and bundling
of materials.
To encourage visitor participation, recyclable
materials are collected commingled and then later
separated. Companion trash receptacles are also
paired with each recycling bin to collect trash and
paper waste. In addition to visitor recyclables,
park employees are also recycling office paper and
corrugated cardboard.
PROBLEM AREAS
The open burning of farm fields immediately
adjacent to the main park entrance often causes
visibility impairment to the park visitor as well
as the park residential areas. Smoke from
illegally burned agricultural black plastics may
also be a source of air toxics. A particulate
monitor (IMPROVE) located at the Research Center
indicated higher levels of organics during periods
of agricultural burning than during days of non-
burn activity.
Elevated levels of mercury have been reported in
park wildlife (fish, alligator, raccoon, etc,)
including the federally endangered Florida Panther.
The source has yet to be identified, but several
potential air emissior. source have been identified
by the State including sugar cane burning,
incinerators, and power plants. Two air depositor
monitoring sites were installed in 1993 as part of
a jo.irt Federal/State mercury monitoring network.
The source has yet to be identified. Research is
currerV 'y taking place by NPS, EPA and the State to

ACTION NEEDED
Bioaerosol levels exceeded USPHS recommended limits
by 3 to 6 times and exceeded OSHA limits by up to
1.5 times. Alternative facilities (office
trailers) were acquired for building occupants. A
contract was issued and the asbestos has been
removed as per regulatory requirements. The
building has been gutted and is in the process of
being remodeled, we expect to occupy the structure
in July, 1995.
Continue investigation to locate and remove source
of mercury which is endangering the park wildlife.
Continue efforts to reduce ozone and radon levels
in the indoor air to acceptable levels.

supporting weapons training detachments and those
contingencies where the base can be of service to
our community and nation.
815 acres
564 working, 1,145 weekend reservists
HOMESTEAD AFB was on the 1993 Defense BRAC list for realignment to
Homestead Air Reserve Base on April 1, 1994. On this date,
Headquarters Air Force Reserve assumed control of the 815 acre
Cantonment Area located within the former Homestead Air Force Base
property. Facilities ana land (approximately 124C acres) outside
the Cantonment Area were turned over to the Air Force Base
Conversion Agency (AFBCA) for disposal and/or reuse. Due to
extensive damage to Homestead AFB by Hurricane Andrew in August
1992, many Cantonment related actions involve construction as
Reserve units return.
COMPLIANCE STATUS
AIR: In compliance. Homestead Air Reserve Base (432d
Fighter Wing) has submitted applications to
Metropolitan Dade County Department of
Environmental Resources Management (DERM) to
operated aiz sources. Specifically, the3e
applications will cover fear aoove ground storage
tanks for JP-8 jet fuel and a painc spray booth. A
permit application for one additions.!, -anx must
also bs submitted. Additionally, initial training
has been received on CAAA Title V requirements, and
a survey of chemical ujuge at ail je^-t'.onJ has been
accompli3ned prior to calculating the potential to
emit.
WATER: In compliance. The Base water treatment plaiiw and
well field operations are the responsibility of
AF3CA. They have contracted ail operations to Dade
County Water and Sawer Authority south district.
WAST.E WATER: In compliance. Nine oil/'water separators are being
retained for use by Homestead ARB. A compliance
study has been completed, to determine
serviceability and sanitary sewer connections; ail

sanitary sewer system. The Base has submitted a
Dade County Industrial Waste operating permit
application to Dade County, and it is now under
regulatory compliance review.
UST: Nine USTs remain in the Cantonment area for use by
Homestead ARB. A compliance study for all tanks
is being accomplished and will include all
applicable State and Metropolitan Dade County
regulatory requirements. The Base military service
station's mogas fuel tank (10,000 gal) has been
upgraded to DERM standards with the installation of
a stage two vapor recovery system. The four USTs
at this site have been permitted (UT_04124-95-00).
Three 1000 gallon heating oil tanks for hot water
production at our temporary lodging dormitories do
not meet DERM regulatory leak detection
requirements: Metropolitan Dade County Code
requires the installation of one ground water
monitoring well at each tank; we are programming to
install the wells in the near future. All USTs
managed by HARB have been registered with the
State.
AST: 3 5 ASTs remain under the management of HARB. 15 of
these are regulated by the State and have been
registered with the State. There are several minor
discrepancies associated with our ASTs; we are
currently addressing all discrepancies in a
compliance report scheduled to be completed in
Mar.,'95. We will take action to upgrade as
required. HARB has completed and submitted to Dade
County DERM for review a Hazardous Facility

CERCLA: The AFBCA has responsibility for the CERCLA, RCRA,
and FAC 62-770 related activities on Homestead ARB
(all areas, both inside and outside the Reserve
cantonment area). Three sites were documented
cerore and after Hurricane Andrew and will undergo
PA/SI this year. 22 sites have been recommended
for characterization/investigation after PA/SI. 10
sites have undergone closure. In addition, the
101
-------
Page 3

remaining 37 SWMUs will be dealt with under
RCRA/CERCLA integration initiative to accelerate
characterization and cleanup. The IRP has been
placed on a fast track schedule, resulting in
either closure or ROD of all sites by 1996. RD and
RA and/or long term monitoring(LTM) is projected to
begin in 1996. The SWMU sites will be incorporated
into the IRP. A Restoration Advisory Board (RAB)
has been formed in accordance with EPA DoD
guidance, and plans are underway to contract out
the community outreach portion of the Community
Relations Plan. All cleanup actions are currently
geared to the re-use of the land outside the
Cantonment Area as expeditiously as possible.
Seventeen sites have been recommended for
characterization/investigation after PA/SI. Five
sites have undergone closure. The remaining have
been recommended for no further action (NFA). In
addition, the remaining 35 SWMUs will be dealt with
under a RCRA/CERCLA integration initiative to
accelerate characterization and cleanup.
TOXICS: All PCB containing electrical equipment had been
removed from Homestead AFB prior to Hurricane
Andrew. There are no PCB containing transformers
or devices on Base. Virtually no pure chemicals
from the EPA Toxics Release Inventory exist on
Ease. Some are contained in varying percentages in
Paints and primers, e.g., the chromate containing
primers.
POLLUTION PREVENTION
Hazardous waste (HW) accumulation points have been
ejtablished. Oil/vater separators have been
cleaned, and a separator maintenance contract
prepared to prevant discharge of excessive oil to
t'.ie POTW. Two "closed loop'' water treatment
sys^ams have ceen installed at the engine test cell
facility which will further reduce entry of oils

ENVIRONMENTAL AUDIT
PROBLEM AREAS
An ECAMP audit was performed in August 1994 by
Headquarters Air Force and a contractor. There was
a total of 58 findings, none of which was rated as
significant. An ECAMP Management Action Plan was
produced in response to the inspection. 55% of
findings have been resolved and are now closed.
The remaining findings will close within 1-1/2
years.
Secondary containment: Areas such as the military
gas station and fuel tanker parking need berms or
curbing to contain any major spill which might
occur. Construction projects are being developed
to address these situations.
Waste water: Areas such as wash racks which can
drain to storm water conveyances are being
replaced, and conversely, storm water runoff is
being channeled away from sanitary sewer inlets by
installing inlet water diverter valves and
constructing roofs over wash rack areas.

NATIONAL PRIORITIES LIST
Superfund Hazardous Waste Site Listed Under The
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act
(CERCLA) as amended in 1986
HOMESTEAD AIR FORCE BASE
Homestead, Florida
Homestead Air Force Base is in Dade County, approximately 25 miles
southwest of Miami and 7 miles east of Homestead, Florida. The facility
encompasses 2,916 acres with additional easements of 429 acres. The area
around the base is agricultural and residential. The base has jurisdiction
over several remote annexes, but there is little evidence that hazardous
substances have been disposed of at those locations.
The base was activated in September 1942 and initially was operated
by the Army Air Transport Command. After extensive hurricane damage in
1945, the base was turned over to Dade County, which used it for small
commercial and industrial operations. In 1953, the Air Force acquired
the base and rebuilt it.
Wastes have been disposed of on-site since the facility's inception.
A landfill was operated in the 1940s, but little is known about this
operation. During Dade County's ownership, electroplating operations
were conducted on the site, and plating wastes containing heavy metals
and cyanides were allegedly disposed of directly on the ground.
After the Air Force assumed control in 1953, hazardous substances wen
disposed of in Fire Training Area 3, which was unlined and had no system t'
collect residual fluids, and the Residual Pesticide Disposal Area. Severe
spills also occurred, including one of PCBs from an electrical transformer
Homestead Air Force Base is participating in the Installation
Restoration Program (TRP). Under this program, establisned in 1978, the
Department of Defense seeks to identify, investigate, and clean up con-
tamination from hazardous materials. IRP studies have detected high
concentrations of etnyl ether in ground water throughout and downgradient
of Fire Training Area 3. Approximately 5,500 gallons of ethyl ether were
disposed of in the area in January 1984- The Biscayne Aquifer, which
underlies the site, has been designated as a sole source aquifer under the
Safe Drinking Water Act. An estimated 1,600 people obtain drinking water ..
and 18,000 acres of farmland are irrigated from wells into the aquifer and
within 3 miles of the hazardous substances on the site.
The base is surrounded by a perimeter canal, which discharges into
Military Canal and ultimately into Biscayne Bay 2 miles to the east.
The Air Force plans further investigations of releases of hazardous
substances and their mitigation umder the IRP and a permit issued under
Subtitle C of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act and incorporating

COMPLIANCE STATUS
AIR Out of compliance with the Florida Department of
Environmental Protection (FDERP) air pollution
permitting requirements. To comply with these
permitting requirements, KSC must review
approximately 500 air emission sources and obtain
permits from the State for the sources that are
not exempt. The FDEP and KSC have an agreement to
bring KSC into compliance by functional areas in 5
steps. KSC anticipates achieving permit
compliance by early j.995.
KSC is a synthetic minor PSD source. KSC achieves
this status by taking iederally enforceable permit
limits on annual fuel usages for the boilers.
KSC nas one boiler that is subject to NSPS
regulations. KSC has brought this boiler to
comply with NSPS ragulaui.on3.
KSC has one cleaner that is subjecc to the newly
promulgated Halogenaced 3o_.ent Cleaner NESHAP.
KSC is evaluating whether to replace the cleaner

for this problem has been completed.
Modifications to date have greatly improved the
situation. KSC has passed residual sampling for
Dec.'94 and Jan.'95.
WASTE WATER: Essentially in compliance with federal
requirements but out of compliance with some
Florida groundwater and waste water provisions.
1. All active sewage treatment plants (STP) are
permitted. Florida regulations also require
permits for septic tanks. KSC is working to
achieve compliance.
2. Renewal for NPDES permit #FL 0022594 was
submitted with changes prior to expiration. KSC
continues to operate under expired permit pending
new permit's issuance. Cooling tower discharges
identified in the renewal are being eliminated
with recycling systems to bring them into
compliance with State surface and groundwater
regulations.
3. An internal study of KSC floor drains, grease
traps and oil/water separators identified 12
facilities with problem discharges. These have
been eliminated. The remainder of KSC facilities
are being studied for potential floor drain
discharges to grade.
4. Individual NPDES storm water permit for
industrial activities was submitted for KSC on
schedule in October '92 and KSC has received a
response from EPA indicating that the permit
application wers received and is considered
complete and under review. Also 2 construction
permits were submitted. The construction projects
were completed and notifications of completion are
being prepared for submission EPA region.
5. Wash down of structures receiving solid rocket
deposition have been determined by FDEP to require
Florida Industrial Waste water permit to discharge
to ground water. An application for a temporary
operating permit has been submitted to FDEP to
allow continuation of the operation pending
completion of a study to determine any required
facility modification and treatment systems. FDEP
has agreed to allow continuation of operations
until the temporary operating permit is approved.

POLLUTION PREVENTION
KSC is reviewing all processes, looking for
opportunities to reduce the volume and toxicity of
the waste we are generating. In addition KSC is
currently recycling wood, paper, printer
cartridges, antifreeze, rags, stainless steel,
steel oil, aluminum, copper, fluorescent lamp
tubes, tires, batteries, and TCA. KSC is
currently transferring refrigerant and fire
suppression ODS through zero loss transfer
systems. There has been a significant reduction
in Freon 113 for cleaning. In addition, NASA and
KSC are developing Pollution Prevention policies
and plans where all activities will be rsviewed
for source reduction opportunities. Plans are
being made to control distribution and use of all
hazardous materials and reduce the quantity lost
to the environment. Plans to increase the use of
recycled materials are in work.
ENVIRONMENTAL AUDIT

CECIL FIELD NAVAL AIR STATION
Jacksonville, Florida
The Cecil Field Naval Air Station covers 20,099 acres in rural
southwest Jacksonville, Duval County, Florida. Established in 1941,
the facility is composed of Cecil Field Proper (9,516 acres), Yellow
Water Weapons Area (8 acres), and the Outlying Landing Field (2,492
acres). Cecil Field's mission is to provide facilities, services, and
material support for the operation and maintenance of naval weapons
and aircraft for the Sea Based Anitsubmarine Warfare Wings, Atlantic.
Tasks performed at this facility include operation fuel depots,
maintenance and repair of aircraft and engines, and special weapons
support. Cecil Field is scheduled for base closure.
Cecil Field is participating in the Installation Restoration
Program (IRP). Under this program, established in 1978, the
Department of Defense seeks to identify, investigate, and clean up
contamination from hazardous materials. As part of IRP, the Navy has
currently identified 34 disposal areas located throughout the base,
including landfills, lagoons, waste piles, burn areas, and spill
areas. The majority of them received spent solvents, paint wastes,
and wastes containing chromium and lead. Both soil and water in the
surface and subsurface were potentially contaminated.
Three aquifers underlie Cecil Field: the surficial, which is
used primarily for irrigation and fire fighting; the intermediate or
"shallow rock," which supplies water to an estimated 2,200 people via
private wells within 3 miles of the disposal areas; and the Floridan,
which is the major water source for Cecil Field. The private wells
are threatened because no continuous clay layer has been found above
the shallow rock aquifer.
The major bodies of surface water on Cecil Field are Yellow Water
Creek, its tributaries, Caldwell Branch, Sal Taylor Creek, and Rowell
Creek, which dammed to form Lake Fretwell. Fresh water wetlands are
within 450 feet of one of the disposal areas.
The Navy plans to conduct further site investigations of releases
and contaminant migration under a permit issued under Subtitle C of
the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act and incorporating
corrective action.

JACKSONVILLE NAVAL AIR STATION
Jacksonville, Florida
The Jacksonville Naval Air Station (NAS) is in southwestern Duval
County, in Jacksonville, Florida. NAS occupies approximately 6 square
miles on the shore of the St. Johns River near the headwaters of the
Ortega River. The area around the station is commercial and residential.
Since 1940, NAS's primary mission has been to provide services and
materials to support aviation activities.
NAS is participating in the Installation Restoration Program (IRP).
Under this program, established in 1978, the Department of Defense seeks
to identify, investigate, and clean up contamination from hazardous
materials. As part of IRP the Navy used historical records, aerial
photographs, field inspections, and personnel interviews to identify at
least 4 0 potentially contaminated areas within the facility boundaries,
including landfills, storage areas, lagoons, and spills. Wastes handled
include waste solvents, oil and fuel, paint wastes, aqueous wastes
containing heavy metals, acids, caustics, cyanide, paint stripper wastes
containing chlorinated solvents and phenolics, radium paint wastes, and
waste fron medical radiological programs.
In August and September 1983, a Navy contractor sampled soils and
shallow ground water. Contaminants identified included trichloroethylene,
1,1-dichloroethylene, 1,I,1-Trichloroethane, Tetrachloroethylene, PCBs,
cadmium, chromium, lead, copper, and mercury. The potential exists for
contaminated ground water to migrate off-sire and endanger local water
supplies. Private wells into shallow ground water within 3 miles of
hazardous substances at the site provide drinking water to an estimated
300 people.
Hazardous waste was deposited directly into the St. Johns River on
NAS. A 1986 IRP report indicates that lead, chromium, and cadmium were
found in the river, which is used for recreational activities within 3
miles downstream of NAS. Fresh water wetlands and critical habitats for
the Florida manatee and the bald eagle, both designate'', endangered
species by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, are on NAS.
The Navy has taken interim measures to control runoff of oil and
solvents from the old main dump into St. Johns River. The Navy also
plans further investigation of releases of hazardous substances and their
mitigation under a permit issued under Subtitle C of the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act and incorporating corrective action.

WASTE WATER: In compliance by FDEP inspection on Oct 20,,'94
FDEP temporary operating permit DT 57-249065 was
issued on Jul.11, '94. Waste water is treated by a
low rate trickling filter system that produces
effluent which does not meet new discharge
standards adopted by the State. This has resulted
in the requirement to upgrade the WWTP or to
provide other acceptable discharge alternatives.
The feasibility of connecting to a municipal
system is currently being investigated.
UST: A compliance inspection by FDEP in Sep.,'94
identified 2 areas of concern. Required logs for
above ground storage tanks were not being
maintained and leak detection test had not been
done for an underground fuel line. Required logs
are now being maintained and a project is under
construction tnat will obviate the need for the
cited under ground tuei line. NAS Whiting Field,
along witn other naval facilities in the State are
regulated under an "Alternative Procedures
Agreement" which was endorsed by Navy and State
representatives in Jun.,'93. The agreement
provides a schedule for meeting storage tank
regulations. Whiting Field is ahead of schedule
for tank systems upgrade.

inspection of Sep. 30,'93. A hazardous waste
biennial report was submitted to EPA/ State of
Florida in March 1994. NAS Whiting Field is a
hazardous waste generator and does not store,
treat, or dispose of hazardous waste.
NAS Whiting was proposed for placement on the NPL
in February 1994. 23 sites are currently being
investigated under the Installation Restoration
Program. The study is in Phase II of the Remedial
Investigation and data gaps are currently being
identified. In addition 5 sites are being
investigated under "The Florida Petroleum
Contamination Agreement". This program is limited
to investigation of fuel/petroleum contaminated
sites only. A "No Further Action" proposal was
accepted by the State for 2 sites.
An updated PCB inventory report was sent to NEESA
in Mar.,'95. Any disposition of PCBs would be
conducted by means of a manifest to a permitted
facility.
POLLUTION PREVENTION
NAS Whiting Field has initiated a study on
Hazardous Waste Minimization/Pollution Prevention.
Based on the results of this study a plan will be
developed with emphasis on inventory reduction and
use of environmentally friendly products, with the
goal of reducing hazardous waste generation.
ENVIRONMENTAL AUDIT
An Environmental Compliance Evaluation was
conducted at NAS Whiting Field by Southern
Livxsion in Sep.,'94. Deficiencies found during
evaluation are being addressed.
PROBLEM AREAS
The adoption of the new and very stringent
effluent discharge limitations on waste water by
tne State has resulted in the requirement :o
upgrade the existing waste water treatment plant.
This required upgrading of the facility will be

POLLUTION PREVENTION
The Hazardous Materials/Waste Minimization Plan
was finalized 16 May 1991, followed by immediate
implementation. Major emphasis of the plan is to
reduce hazardous waste generation by monitoring
hazardous materials procurement utilizing an
authorized hazardous materials use list, and
requirement of written justification for
procurement of hazardous materials not pre-
authorized for use. Non-hazardous substitute
materials are recommended when available. Proper
hazardous material management is strongly
emphasized by a Station instruction.
SOUTHNAVFACENGCOM performed a Pollution Prevention
Survey at CSS in June '93. Presently CSS is
collecting data from all work processes that use
hazardous materials. This data will be used by
SOUTHNAVFACENGCOM to develop POA&Ms to minimize or
substitute the use of hazardous materials and will
be incorporated in the CSS Pollution Prevention
Plan.
A solid waste management plan has been developed
for Coastal Systems Station. By the end of the
fiscal year 1995, an implementing instruction will
be issued.
Coastal Systems Station has developed and
implemented a Qua_.Lii.ed Kccyelinc,- retrain through
the efforts of Public Works Division and Morale
Welfare and Recreation. Commodities which are
currently being recycled are : aluminum cans,

NAVSTA Mayport currently manages 80 tanks - 57 are
underground storage tanks and 23 are above ground
storage tanks.
NAVSTA Mayport recently awarded a special project
to design and replace all regulated underground
tanks by the year 2000. Incorporated into this
project is the replacement of numerous non-
regulated tanks which we feel are a significant
risk to the environment due to their age and/or
si^e. Rsplacement of other tanks will be carried
out as buildings are renovated and on a yearly
basis as funds ailc<..
NAVSTA Maypcrt has 12 petroleum contaminated sites
thft h£;vr; been identified to FDEP and are part of
thf: Davy's Petroleum Contamination Agreement with
the Stite. Contamination Assessment Reports (CAR)
have been performed on 9 of these sites with
Renedial Action Plans (RAFs) completed on three of
these nine. CARs are planned for the remaining 5
sites. Three sites are scheduled for completion
in FY 95 and the remaining 2 sites are scheduled
for c crap let ion in FY 96.
RCRA: In compliance, based on EPA/FDER inspection of
Ma]". 17, '94. The Hazardous Waste Part B Facility
is now owned and operated by PWC JAX although
NAVSTA Mayport is listed as the permit holder

(#H016-118598). The permit was issued Dec.16,'93,
and expires Mar 1,'98. Construction is completed
on a new Part B Storage Facility and the operating
permit is being modified for the new building.
Our HSWA permit #FL9170024260 was renewed in June
'93. This permit identifies'18 SWMUs requiring an
RFI, 23 SWMUs requiring confirmatory sampling and
15 SWMUs with no further action.
NAVSTA Mayport has held four TRC meetings before
converting to a Restoration Advisory Board (RAB).
The first meeting of the new RAB was in
February,'95. Five community members were
selected to represent the diversity of the NAVSTA
community and to serve as liaisons between their
respective groups/community and NAVSTA.
The sampling and analysis portion of our Clean
Closure Equivalency Demonstration (CCED) for the
Neutralization Basin, SWMU 12, was completed and
submitted to US EPA region IV in May, '94.
CERCLA: Currently NAVSTA Mayport does not operate under
the CERCLA program. However in Jul. '92 the
findings from our Hazard Ranking System II Scoring
report were submitted to USEPA Region IV for their
evaluation. NAVSTA Mayport received a score of
50.82 upon completion of this study conducted by
ABB Environmental Services through a contract with
SOUTHNAVFACENGCOM.
TOXICS: No known problems. PCB identification # FL9-170-
024-260 is assigned to NAVSTA Mayport. PWC JAX
Zone Mayport has no PCB transformers remaining in
service. Disposal is through PWC Jax to DRMO by
contract. PWC is surveyirn all electrical
equipment to insure no PCBs in inventory and
expect completion by July '94.
NAVSTA Mayport has completed and distributed an
Asbestos Operation and Maintenance Plan to be used
by the various commands who perform asbestos
removal or maintenance of facilities which may
contain asbestos. PWC JAX contractor, Global
Associates, administer the disposal of asbestos by
manifest to the City of Jacksonville's Trail Ridge
landfill site.
EPCRA - NAVSTA has reported 14 chemicals under
section 311 and 312 and expects to report under
section 113 in July, 1995.

POLLUTION PREVENTION
NAVSTA Mayport instituted a hazardous material
reissue program in Jan.'93. A pollution
prevention plan is in draft form.
ENVIRONMENTAL AUDIT
NAVSTA Mayport performs annual environmental
compliance self-evaluations. The last one was in
Late Feb.,'94. A major claimant (i.e.
headquarters) audit was performed in Oct.,'94.
PROBLEM AREAS
Only the problem areas which are under the direct
control of the NAVSTA Mayport will be discussed.
PWC JAX which manages the permits for water, waste
water and major air sources will provide
information on those facilities.
AIR: HAP for ship repairs may cause dock problems since
NAVSTA is considering a floating dry dock.
UST: There are still discrepancies between TIMS and
FDEP tank listings. Thxs problem arises each time
the City of Jacksonville, through contract with
FDEP, performs its annual tank inspection (either
we don't have the tanks they have listed or we
have tanks that aren't listed). Because the City
sends a new inspector eacn time they perform an
inspection, we have to explain the proolem all
over again.
RCRA: Due to DERA funding constraints, there is always
the potential for NAVSTA to fail further behind
the schedule proposed in tne CAMP, which is part
of our HSWA permit, in January 1995, we
incorporated potential deiays into the CAMP but
noncompliance will still oe a possibility should
funding De recalled.
The CCED for the Neutralization Pond needs to
proceed at a more expedient pace. This process
has been on going since tne State accepted our
closure certificate in March, 1991.
ACTION NEEDED
PWC JAX will provide information on the action
needed for NAVSTA Mayport facilities under their
control.
147
-------
Page 5
Naval Station Mayport, FL.
UST: The discrepancies between TIMS and the State's
registration list will hopefully be corrected now
that the APA between the NAVY and FDEP was signed
in Jun '93. If not, then this problem may need to
be raised to our Regional Environmental
Coordinator (REC), Commander Naval Base
Jacksonville., for action.
RCRA: Funding problems will continue to be of concern
especially now ¦ since,.we..have..-the...added ..costs of
Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) activities
which will be competing for the same funds as
studies and remediation. Schedule delays will
have to be acceptable, although regrettable, part
of procedures until additional funds can be
budgeted by Congress. Many delay issues are
currently being resolved through our NAVSTA
Partnering Team.
TOXICS: NAVSTA Mayport needs to implement a base-wide
asbestos program to coordinate the disposal cf
asbestos, and the asbestos removal work, by various
tenant commands.

NTC anticipates surrendering the Fire Fighting
Training Facilities permit (A048-244816) in the
near future.
The hospital pathological incinerator (A048-
161813) requires extensive repair. As the unit
will not be used again the permit was allowed to
expire Jul 30,'94.
NTC has requested the State modify the main base
permit (A048-202035) to remove the potential to
operate 24 hours a day and limit the amount of
natural gas and #2 fuel oil burned to levels that
will ensure that NTC does not meet the definition
of a major source. When the hazardous air
pollutant inventory is submitted to the State
combined with the fact that actual hours of
operation and emissions are very low, NTC
anticipates the state modifying the main base
permit and classifying the installation as a
synthetic minor source.
WATER: In compliance. NTC has been reclassified from a
water supplier to a water receiver and is
receiving potable water from a local utility
company. NTC has discontinued operation of the
chlorination stations on the Main Base and the
Annex and surrendered its designation as a
consecutive water system. NTC has entered into an
agreement with the FDEP and the Orlando Utilities
Commission concerning this action.
WASTE WATER: In compliance. Waste water sources tied to
publicly owned treatment works.
STORM WATER: In compliance. NTC Orlando is a member of EPA
Group Permit #12 56 ior storni water discharges
associated with industrial activities. NTC has
received a draft copy of NTC Orlando's SWPP
submitted to SOUDIVNAVFACENGCOM. As part of the
SWPP, and illicit connections study indicated that
NTC has 5 illicit connections. These connections
are being eliminated wxtn either procedural
changes or permanent structural cnanges.
UST: In compliance: 19 regulated tanks. Most will be
removed as part of base closure. All tanks
including former sites, will be assessed whether
regulated or not as part of the Navy's Alternative
Procedures Agreement with the State.

state. NTC does not treat, store or dispose of
hazardous wastes.
CERCLA: In compliance. Verification phase of the
Installation Restoration Program (IRP) is
complete. Phase II (confirmation study), requires
additional sampling of established monitoring
wells and installation of additional wells (the
data is outdated and new studies may be required
as part of the 1993 BRAC program)
TOXICS: In compliance. Nineteen PCB contaminated ( less
than 500 but greater than 50 ppm) transformers
remain at the base. Five are in storage for
disposal. NTC collects electric light ballasts
for disposal as PCB (assumed = 500 ppm) items.
SOLID WASTE: In compliance. Solid waste is collected and
disposed of under a solid waste collection/
transportation contract. Fiscal 1994 solid waste
disposal totaled 6,564 tons.
EPCRA & E 0: Compliance. Our major claimant has provided a
contractor through our Engineering Field Division
to collect data, prepare threshold calculations
and develop supporting documentation to submit the
required Tier II forms (calendar year '94) to our
LEPB, SEPC and Fire Dept, by Mar 1, '95. The
contractor will also be providing services for TRI
chemical identification,use calculations/
documentation and for "R" reporting (calendar year
'94) as required, by July, '95.
POLLUTION PREVENTION
In compliance. Recycling efforts included: glass -
2 tons, newspaper and mixed paper - 2 3 tons,
aluminum cans - 50 tons, and cardboard - 100 tons
for fiscal year 1994.
ENVIRONMENTAL AUDIT
The Environmental Branch completed a self audit of
our programs in Dec.,'94. The Major Claimant
coordinated an environmental audit of this base by
Naval Facilities Engineering Command, Southern
Division, in Nov 91. The base had an environmental
audit by the Navy Inspector General in Dec 94.

PROBLEM AREAS
i. Storm water: We will conduct an illicit
connections survey to determine if any exist and
what corrective action must be taken. We are part
of a Navy group application to EPA Region IV which
was submitted by our Engineering Field division
base in Charleston, S.C. The permit application
is still under review.
2- Currently small quantities of silver recovery
cartridges are being reclaimed through DRMO
Precious Metals Recovery Program, which does not
use a Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest to
transport and track this material. Our
Engineering Field Division and EPA has indicated
that this material is regulated under RCRA and
should be managed as a hazardous waste. This
issue needs to be resolved between the agencies
and a clear policy established.
ACTION NEEDED
1 - Submit an Engineering Service Request to our
EFD to survey for illicit connections.
2 - Request that DRMO resolve with FDEP the proper
management of silver recovery cartridges.

Accordingly a public notice was sent out and a
corrosion control study will be conducted.
The water system at NETPMSA Saufley was connected
to the Escambia County Utilities Authority (ECUA)
in Nov.,'94. Those system was previously owned
and operated by the PWC,"however, due to well
contamination, the system was connected to ECUA.
The system is now considered a "consecutive
excluded" system since the Navy only repumps the
water without additional treatment. A
contamination assessment will be performed on the
contaminated well.
WASTE WATER: NPDES permit FL0002500, for the 4.0 mgd
industrial/domestic treatment plant was renewed
and became effective Jan.,'95. The renewed permit
was issued to PWC and includes the waste water
treatment plant (outfall 001) and cooling water
discharges (outfalls 008 & 009).

NAS Pensacola installation decreased from 1,315
tons in 1990 to 809.7 tons in 1991 and 103.52 tons
in 1992. HW generation in 1993 was 515 tons.
Increase is due to NADEP's closure. NADEP
accounts for 86% of the total. Of the HW
generated in 1993, approximately 350 tons were
blended off site as fuel and reutilized. Over 630
tons of solid waste were recycled in 1992,
covering materials including aluminum, paper,
cardboard, glass, plastic, rubber, copper, steel,
and wood. 70,000 gallons of waste oil were
recycled through the DRMO donation/resale program.
NTTC Corry - Aluminum cans were collected for
recycling in 1993.

PENSACOLA NAVAL AIR STATION
Pensacola, Florida
The Pensacola Naval Air Station (NAS) covers approximately 5,500 acres
on a peninsula in southern Escambia County, southwest of the City of
Pensacola, Florida. NAS is bounded on the north by Bayou Grande and on the
east and south by Pensacola Bay. NAS has been an industrial operations
center since the early 1800s. Based at the station are various housing,
training, and support activities, as well as the Naval Air Rework Facility
(NARF), a large industrial complex for the repair and overhaul of aircraft
engines and frames; the Naval Aviation Depot, which maintains and rebuilds
aircraft; and the Navy Public Works Center Pensacola, which provides
overall operational support for NAS. Other activities are essentially
training commands. Outlying areas include landing fields, the Naval
Reservation, Corry Field, and Saufley Field.
NAS Pensacola is participating in the Installation Restoration Program
(IRP). Under this program, established in 1978, the Department of Defense
seeks to identify, investigate, and clean up contamination from hazardous
materials. Under IRP, the Navy has identified 34 acres potentially
containing hazardous waste. Some are now inactive and are largely without
records. Solid wastes have been disposed of primarily at two landfill
areas, one west of a golf course and other north of Chevalier Field.
Liquid wastes from NARF operations were discharged to storm sewers until
197 3, when an industrial sewer system and waste water treatment plant were
installed. Other activities involving hazardous substances include
pesticide application, transformer storage, and fire fighting training.
Spills or releases of plating wastes, organic solvents, waste paints and
thinners, PCBs, and insecticides have been documented.
Benzene and ethyl benzene are present in monitoring wells near the
golf course, according to a 1986 IR13 report. An

Department of Energy (DOE) - Pinellas
Pinellas County, Florida
FL890511992
The Pinellas Plant was built for the production of
select high-technology nuclear weapons- components.
In 1994, DOE decided to move this mission to other
sites in the weapons complex. On September 30,
1994, most production stopped and the plant's
mission became one of transition to alternate use
of the facilities. On March 1, 1995, the property
is expected to be sold to an agency of the
Pinellas County government, and DOE will lease
back portions of the facility until transition and
reconfiguration of equipment is complete. This is
now planned for September 1997. Pinellas County
and DOE are actively soliciting commercial
businesses to utilize the vacated DOE facilities.
96.9 acres
800 site workers
COMPLIANCE STATUS
AIR: The plant is in compliance with the Florida
Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) air
emissions operating permit # A052-2333355 issued
February 4, 1994 and expires January 25, 1999.
Compliance is monitored through the computer based
Chemical Material Tracking System, Weekly Area
ChsTicil Usage log3 wbi^h are maintained for high-
use constituents, and annual analysis of effluent
form six wet scrubbers. A Clean Air Act (CAA)
Title V permit application for chemical and
radiological emissions is being prepared for
submission to the FDEP in 1995.
The plgnt has one main and four minor radiological
exhaust stacks subject to National Emission
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP)
regulations for radionuclides. The Pinellas Plant
was th? first 005 weapons facility to certify
compliance with tha NT3HAP requirements for
radiological emissions and has remained in
compliance since. The plant was inspected by the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in September
1992. The plant is considered a minor source;
i.e., worst case, radiological emissions modeling
indicates less than 1% of the EPA 10 mrem/yr
standard. Continuous monitoring of stack

with the Pinellas County Industrial Waste Water
Discharge Permit (153-IE issued 8/28/94, expires
8/28/97), and with the Pinellas County Sewer Use
Ordinance 91-26.
An individual facility permit application for
Storm water Discharges Associated with Industrial
Activity was submitted to EPA in September 1992
and was updated April 15, 1994. To date, EPA has
not acted on the permit application.
UST: The last remaining underground storage tank (UST)
at the Pinellas Plant was removed in September
1991.
RCRA: The Pinellas Plant currently possesses a Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Part B permit
with the FDEP administering the hazardous waste
management, requirements, and the EPA administering
the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments fHSWA)
provisions of RCRA.
The facility's hazardous '.caste treatment and
storage activities are governed by the FDEP
Hazardous Waste Facility Permit H052-288925,
issued Dec. 8, 1994, expiring Aug. 16, 1998. Where
possible, regulated hazardous wastes generated at
the facility are managed through the 90-day
storage area. This leaves a minimal amount of
regulated hazardous waste to be tracked through
the permitted storage areas. One storage area is
permitted for the storage of low- level
radioactive waste mixed with regulated waste
containing RCRA metals above Toxicity
Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) limits.
The facility maintains four above-ground permitted
hazardous waste storage tanks and a waste oil tank
in a standby status. No hazardous waste land

On 2/9/90, EPA issued the Pinellas Plant a HSWA
permit (FL6-890090008, expires 2/8/2000). The
HSWA permit requires the assessment of 16 Solid
Waste Management Units (SWMU). In January 1994,
the facility recommended no further action at 12
of the 16 SWMUs. Interim measures are underway
at two of the SWMUs and one interim corrective
measure is complete. Two Corrective Measures
Studies (CMS) are completed which cover three
SWMUs. One CMS is in progress. One RCRA Facility
Investigation (RFI) is in preparation for a newly
identified (1994) SWMU. The plant
contamination is limited to volatile organic
compounds (VOC) in the surficial aquifer and no
radiological contaminants have been found above
drinking water standards. The area drinking water
aquifer (Floridan) has not been impacted by plant
operations. The plant has a proactive site
remediation program and is consistently in
compliance with the HSWA permit and all regulatory
requirements. The Pinellas Plant participates in
the DOE/EPA Innovative Treatment Remediation
Demonstration (ITRD) initiative in the
consideration of application of innovative
technology in corrective actions at the facility.
CERCLA: EPA evaluated the Pinellas Plant site under the
Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation
& Liability Act (CERCLA) Hazard Ranking System 2
(HRS2) and found the site did not meet National
Priority List (NPL) listing criteria. Restoration
activities are- performed under HSWA and Florida
Superfund Authority.
The Pinellas Plant is identified as a Potentially
Responsible Party (PRP) in the Peak Oil Superfund
Site under CERCLA. The Pinellas Plant
participates in the Peak- Oil Site Steering
Committee and makes contributions as required. In
January 1995, DOE signed the consent order for de
minimis buyout from the site.
166
-------
Page 4
DOE-Pinellas, FL.
The Pinellas Plant is also involved in the
voluntary cleanup of an adjacent piece of
privately owned property. The property (referred
to as the 4.5 Acre Site), formerly owned by the
DOE, was the burial site for 83 drums of solvents
and resins. During 1985, the site was identified
as a potential contamination site and cleanup
action was initiated. The Pinellas Plant cleanup
protocol voluntarily follows the CERCLA/Superfund
requirements under state (FDEP) lead review and
approval authority. The contaminated groundwater
recovery and treatment begun in 1989 continues.
SARA: The facility annually files required Superfund
Amendment and Reauthorization Act (SARA) Title III
Section 312 and 313 notifications and reports.
TOXICS: There are no Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCB) on-
site. The last PCB containing equipment was
removed from the site in 1988. A number of
asbestos abatement projects were conducted during
1994 .
POLLUTION PREVENTION
The Pinellas Plant established a waste
minimization pollution prevention committee which
is an integrated program aimed at reducing waste
at the source, reusing materials, substituting
hazardous materials with less or nonhazardous
ones, and managing waste with appropriate
recycling and landfilling methods. The pollution
prevention opportunity assessments program is the
primary method whereby manufacturing and
engineering operations are assessed to determine
waste types, quantities generated, and source
reduction opportunities. The waste minimization
coordinator organizes and tracks pollution
prevention activities. The recycling program
operates as an umbrella progrcj; of waste
minimization activities. Phis program and
benefits thereof are continuously expanding and
growing. Some components of the recycling
program include recycling of office paper, packag-
ing materials, and aluminum cans and shipment of
excess chemicals back to suppliers for credit.
The waste .'minimization program includes employee
awareness training to explain to employees how and
why waste reduction is being undertaken. The
employees are encouraged to make cultural changes
to reduce waste not only at work, but also away
from the job.

ENVIRONMENTAL AUDIT AND INSPECTION
During 1994, the Pinellas County Air Quality
office inspected the plant for asbestos and air
permit compliance. The plant was found in compli-
ance
The.plant is also visited regularly*(twice a
month) by the Florida HRS. In addition to
operating an on-site ambient radiological
monitoring station, HRS representatives inspect
the plant's analytical laboratories, stack and
ambient radiological monitors, analytical data and
historical files. The representatives also observe
soil and surface water sampling events, and
collect split samples. Pinellas Plant data
compares favorably with the HRS data and there
have been no compliance issues identified with the
plant's environmental radiological programs.
During November 1994, the waste water discharge
was inspected by representatives from the PCSS.
Once again, no noncompliance issues were noted.
The PCSS routinely collects samples from the
Pinellas Plant outfall. No excursions of the
permissible discharge limits were identified by
either plant or PCSS sampling during 1994.
The FDEP and/or the EPA regularly inspect the
plant's hazardous waste operations to assure
compliance with governing regulations. On
November 9, 1993, the plant had an unannounced
FDEP inspection. Two potential violations were
identified. FDEP performed a follow-up inspection
in early 1994. The only potential violation that
was not dismissed was one for not preparing and
submitting a contingent post-closure plan for bulk
waste storage (i.e, hazardous waste tank storage).
A contingent post-closure plan was submitted in
April 1994 to bring the Pinellas Plant into
compliance.
During October 1994, the above-ground petroleum
storage tanks were inspected by the Pinellas
County Public Health Unit The inspection found
the facility in compliance.
During 1994, DOE and Martin Marietta performed 15
audits of various portions of the environmental
program at the facility. Any issues identified
were addressed immediately.

PROBLEM AREAS
TRANSITION: Due to reductions in both production needs and the
defense budget, alternate use initiatives, and
sale and leaseback of portions of the facility by
DOE, significant plant rearrangements are in
progress. These rearrangements of plant
activities will impact environmental permits.
The Pinellas Plant is carefully coordinating these
proposed activities with the regulatory personnel
to ensure that all proposed plant changes will
continue to comply with the applicable permit and
regulatory requirements before they are implement-
ed.
ACTIONS NEEDED
TRANSITION: Modification to plant processes and plant
rearrangements are routinely coordinated with
regulatory agency personnel. Necessary permit
modifications will be completed, as required,
prior to implementation of new processes.
WASTE WATER: An amendment to the NPDES storm water permit
application was submitted to EPA during 1394, to
address the storm water discharge from the plant.
The plant awaits permit issuance by the regulatory
authority.

technology that is economically feasible. This
facility has installed state-of-the-art silver
recovery equipment, yet cannot achieve this rigid
limit 100% of the time. The local sewer authority
and EPA Region 4 officials are aware of this
situation. This Medical Center is currently in a
Demonstration of Compliance (DOC) period that has
been suspended by the local sewer utility as they
are aware that their low limit poses a burden on
silver generators in this city.

2) This facility has not been inspected by GRU
officials since 1992 and has received no Notice cf
Violation for exceeding the IDL for silver since
1990.
3) GRU is anticipating a raising of IDLs for
silver (among other parameters) by virtue of a
newly constructed sewer plant now coming on line
and. obtaining a. couple of years of effluent moni-
toring to support the request to EPA and the State
of Florida to do so. Representatives of this
facility have twice presented testimony at state
hearings to ask that surface water standards be
relaxed so that GRU could raise their effluent
limits for silver. That state has so far refused
to do so.

POLLUTION PREVENTION
The LASC pollution prevention (P2) program was
instituted in 1989 and uses a multi-faceted
approach. A full time P2 coordinator ensures that
LASC pro-actively pursues the goals and objectives
contained in the P2 plan. A Pollution Prevention
Committee has been formed to track on-going
initiatives, to disseminate P2 information
throughout the facility, and to provide a forum
for discussing new ideas and opportunities.
The cornerstone of LASC's P2 efforts lies in
source reduction. This effort includes material
substitution, equipment and process changes,
procedural modifications, and training and
awareness. The recycling program has also been a
great success. These programs have resulted in a
7 0 per cent decreases in the usage of ODC's, a 60
per cent reduction in hazardous waste disposal of
perishable items, and a 70 per cent reduction in
VOC emissions.

requirement.
WASTE WATER: From our Storm water Drainage Study, through our
Consultants, will commence design for correction
of deficiencies within funding availability.
UST: The Corps of Engineers completed the UST
Inventory. The Navy drawings indicated tanks not
shown on the FLETC drawings. These are coded
"suspect" within the report. Submission of the
final report is being held in abeyance, pending a
site investigation of each location to either
identify the presence of a tank, and if positive
determine presence of contents, identify, and
remove contents, and conduct a site analysis for
evidence of leakage. This effort has been merged
into the Upgrade Plan as priority one. The
upgrade plan and site work is scheduled for
completion during 1995.
A line item within the 1997 Environmental Budget

The carpeting removed was replaced with solid
rolled vinyl floor covering, whereby cleaning with
HEPA filtered vacuum cleaners will be effective in
controlling the hazard. Additionally, equipment
used within the Situational Response training was
changed to Simunitions, which does not require
shooting with blanks, therefore does not generate
lead particulates. In new facilities for firearms
training, solid rolled vinyl floor covering is
being installed, and during renovations, old

1995.
The COE asbestos survey was delayed until the
first quarter of 1994, as requested by the FLETC.
Completion of a complete Lead Paint survey became
a higher priority based on the initial findings.
The COE District Laboratory completed the Lead
Paint survey for all buildings at the FLETC. This
information is valuable, and essential to
construction design efforts within, or on the
exterior of buildings.
The consulting firm, "Environmental Science and
Engineering" (ESE), under the FLETC Memorandum of
Agreement with the COE, completed chemical
inventories and provided a report identifying
those which have to be reported under E.O. 12856,
"Federal Compliance With Community Right-to-Know
Laws and Pollution Prevention". The firm has
provided the selected Material Safety Data Sheets
(MSDS), for submission to both Local Emergency
Planning Committees and the State representative.
In addition, ESE developed the TIER II reports for
submission to the State and local committees by

POLLUTION PREVENTION:
The FLETC Safety and Environmental Manager
officially requested the Facilities Management
Division to change from the current parts cleaner
to a non-hazardous cleaner being marketed by
Safety-Kleen. This change is in process with a
projected change over during early 1995.
ENVIRONMENTAL AUDITS:
ESE has been tasked and funded to conduct a
"Pollution Prevention Opportunity Assessment"
(PPOA) at the FLETC. This effort will be
necessary to develop a Facility specific Pollution
Prevention Plan.
Additionally, ESE has been tasked and funded to
develop a "Hazardous Waste Management Plan".
Within this plan we have requested both hazardous
and non-hazardous waste be addressed, inclusive of
professional and non-professional training
requirements.
PROBLEM AREAS:
None except inadequate resources including staff

MARINE CORPS LOGISTICS BASE
Albany, Georgia
The Marine Corps Logistics Base (MCLB) covers 3,200 acres in
Dougherty County, about 5 miles east of Albany, Georgia. The base is
surrounded by agricultural, residential, and commercial land. The Marine
Corps constructed the facility in the early 1950s and has operated it
since that time.
The main function of the base is to coordinate distribution of
supplies to other facilities on the East Coast. The Central Repair
Division rebuilds vehicles, radars, and other kinds of equipment; the
Facilities and Services Division repairs and maintains the MCLB property
and equipment. These divisions generate a major portion of the Hazardous
wastes on-site through electroplating, cleaning, stripping, and painting
operations.
From 1957 to 1977, a storm sewer received large volumes of metal
plating solutions and stripping wastes. This sewer drains to a ditch
that empties into the Flint River 4 miles to the west. Since 1977, these
wastes have been piped to an on-site treatment plant or have been shipped
off-site for disposal. Solvents, thinners, paints, sludges, and solid
wastes reportedly were discarded in four on-site unlined landfills.
Munitions, chlorine gas cylinders, acids, solvents, and soil sterilants
were buried in an additional landfill in the eastern section of the site.
MCLB is participating in the Installation Restoration Program (IRP).
Under this program, established in 1978, the Department of Defense seeks
to identify, investigate, and clean up contamination from hazardous
materials. A 1983 IRP report, indicates that trichloroethylene was
detected in monitoring wells near sludge drying beds. The 4,200 people
living on the base obtain drinking water and 2,200 acres of farmland are
irrigated by wells witnin 3 miles of nazardous substances on the base.
In 1986, a Marine Corps contractor detected DDE, DDT, and PCB in
sediments from the bottom of a drainage ditch into which hazardous
substances were discharged.
The Marine Corps cleaned up the siudge drying beds in accordance
with a permit issued under Subtitle C of the Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act (RCRA). The contaminated materials from the drying beds
were removed ana Lransported to a RCRA-regulated disposal facility. The
beds were covered with a 12-inch concrete cap in October 1988. Part of
the Closure requires that six test wells be installed to pump ground
water to the surface and treat it to remove the contaminants.

WASTE WATER: In compliance. Both facilities (upper base and
waterfront) are operated by state licensed
operators. The waterfront waste water treatment
facility is an activated sludge treatment system
receiving waste water from ships and shore sewage
facilities and from our industrial waste treatment
facility (IWTF). The IWTF treats aqueous waste,
some of which is classified as hazardous by
characteristic under RCRA. The waterfront waste
water treatment is operated under GDNR permit #
GA0027707, reissued Apr. 27,'942 and expires Mar.

copper and nickel effluent limitations established
under this permit, SUBASE is currently working
under and administrative order from the state. As
part of this order, modifications to the plant and
its operation are being developed and executed to
ensure full compliance with these limits. SUBASE
has not exceeded the new copper and nickel limits
since the departure of the USS CANOPUS. The upper
base waste water treatment plant is an
aerobic/facultative lagoon system with the
effluent going to a Land Application System(LAS),
covered by GADNR LAS Permit #GA03-751 issued on
Mar.15,'90. An infiltration study performed on
this system has shown considerable infiltration
which must be corrected to protect the capacity of
the plant. Design for the project is complete and

permit modification will be submitted for approval
in CY 95 which will include further investigation
of SWMUs # 2, 5 and 16. Site 11(old county
landfill) status: Under investigation since '92
to characterize and remove vinyl chloride, and
other volatile organic compounds, within the
groundwater. The RFI is completed and an Interim
Corrective Measure groundwater extraction and
treatment system is in place to control migration
of this contaminated groundwater. A Treatability
Study and Corrective Measure Study was initiated
and a Corrective Action Plan will be incorporated
into the consolidated RCRA Part B permit
modification.
SOLID WASTE: Our inert debris landfill is in compliance.
Preparation of a Solid Waste Management Plan is
complete. A revised Closure/Post Closure Care
Plan for our landfill was submitted to GADNR in
Aug.,'94. State approval of this plan is pending.
CERCLA: Because SUBASE Kings Bay is operating under a
current RCRA permit, the facility is following
RCRA regulations to investigate a release at the
Old Camden County Landfill. However, activities
to characterize and mitigate contamination may be
evaluated against CERCLA criteria in the future at
this site. Therefore, to the extent possible,
activities at site 11, Old County Landfill, have
been designed to address both RCRA and CERCLA
regulation.
TOXICS: All krown PCB transformers have been removed from
Ease. The Scope cf Work for a comprehensive
asbestos survey has been prepared and submitted
for funding. The survey is expected to be
completer! in CY95. Pesticides are applied with
rinsates disposed through reapplication.
POLLUTION PREVENTION
A hazardous material Reutilization Store is
operating for our reissue of unused hazardous
material throughout SUBASE. A Pollution
Prevention Plan \s under development tc provide a
hazardous material and hazardous waste database to
track work center chemical, usage, waste generation
processes and chemical disposal data.

TOXICS: In compliance. No permits issued.
In the area of PCBs, all electrical transformers
on base have been tested and removal of
transformers (over 50ppm) is complete. The base
is reviewing the proposed rule to 40 CFR 761 which
will limit the amount of fluorescent light
ballasts that can be disposed of as municipal
waste.
Asbestos Containing Material (ACM) has been
identified and labeled in 265 locations within 159
of 410 facilities surveyed. The base has removed
friable ACM from approximately 98 per cent of the
facilities in an effort to meet the Command goal
to be free of friable asbestos by the year 2008.
A survey to identify lead-based paint in critical
facilities (i.e., day care centers, schools,
military housing, and other areas frequented by
young children) has been completed. Lead based
paint on other facilities is being managed in
place to prevent exposure to personnel. Abatement
will be performed in conjunction with maintenance
and renovation projects.

streams in all industrial processes and
prioritizing those waste streams for an in-depth
process analysis. This analysis will result in
the identification of quick and long term fixes.
Another effort is in response to the zero
discharge goal and is predicated on a multimedia
approach. The first phase of this program
currently underway is a data collection effort.
This information will be managed in a database and
be used for prioritizing pollution prevention
initiatives across all media.
The base is actively working to eliminate the use
of Ozone Depleting Chemical (ODCs) and reduce the
use of EPA 17 chemicals. Base aircraft
maintenance directorates are evaluating and
testing alternate depainting methods to reduce the
use of methylene chloride strippers. Medium
pressure waterstripping with sodium bicarbonate
injection is now being used on C-130 and C-141
aircraft. Carbon dioxide blasting and plastic
mediablasting are other paint removal processes
under review. Another initiative involves the on-
site recycling of numerous generated waste streams
such as freon, paint thinners, 1,1,1,
trichloroethane and others.
Robins AFB also actively participated in a
municipal solid waste (MSI-7) recycling program
which ir.clude.-3 paper, cardboard, metals, grease,
and wood. In addition, the base is actively
purchasing and using paper and non-paper products
containing recycled material, a MSW survey is
complete which provides a baseline for reductions.

UST registration fees has been settled. This should
close 26 NOVs issued against the installation for non-
payment of registration fees and enable the state to
process closure documents. The installation recently
received 2 NOVs from Tennessee for the failure of a
contractor to file notice of closure before removing a
tank.
RCRAs Class IV sanitary landfill is out of compliance due to
insufficient ground water monitoring data. Class I
landfill was converted to Class IV as of May 10, '94.
Construction/demolition waste is disposed on post at
the newly permitted Class IV landfill and the converted
Class I landfill.

Storage facility for hazardous waste is operating as a
90 day storage facility. Compliance problems with
satellite storage at military units and civilian points
of generation noted in the multimedia inspection in
1992 and by Kentucky in 1993, and joint EPA, Ky and TN
inspection in June'93.The latter inspection resulted
in a proposed fine of $66,500.00 from EPA. Subsequent
TN inspections noted no violations. Storage of medical
waste is being done in an approved storage building. A
Part B permit was received in Sep.,'90, for a 2400
square foot storage facility from Tennessee and a
modification of the Part B was requested in 1993, to
double the floor size. Permit to construct and operate
a storage facility was issued by TN on Sep 8,'94.
Solid waste management unit plan is approved, executed
and awaiting sampling results for submission to EPA.
EPA extended deadline to Nov.15,'93. EPA extended
comments to Mar.,'94. Part X, OB/OD permit application
submitted in 1988. Presently operating under interim
status. No NODs have been received.
CERCLA: Remedial investigation of JP-4 contamination at
Campbell Army Airfield is complete. Last TRC meeting
was on Feb 12, 1992. NOV on JP-4 problem received from
Kentucky on Mar 21, 1990. No CERCLA notification has
been filed. Facility is not on NPL.
TOXICS: All but 2 transformers with PCB above 500 pom have been
removed. All transformers with 50 ppm or greater and
those with less than 50ppm on the Kentucky side of the
installation are removed. We have responded to EPA's
NONC and investigated 14 suspected PCB spills from the
past and have remediated 2 sites and have contracted
for the clean up of the 5 remaining sites which tested
positive for PCB. An inventory of PCBs in equipment
other than transformers was completed. The PCB storage
building has been properly registered.
POLLUTION PREVENTION
Antifreeze, batteries, used oil and fuels, being
recycled to reduce generated hazardous wastes. Solvent
recovery system is in place and functioning,
eliminating the need for disposal of waste solvent.
Antifreeze and POL contaminated soil is being collected
and disposed as non RCRA waste through Defense
Reutilization and Marketing Office (DRMO). Sand/Timber
secondary containment system has been reolaced by two
drum (55 gal.) poly storage containers. Crushers have
been issued to all units to crush oil filters for

special waste disposal. A post-wide hazardous material
inventory was conducted in Nov-Dec '94 in preparation
of EPCRA reporting requirements. All Above Ground
Storage Tanks, except bulk fuel storage, are being
replaced with tanks with premanufactured secondary
containment.
ENVIRONMENTAL AUDIT
Army ECAS compliance assessment was completed, in
Jun.,'93. EPA Region IV, Kentucky and Tennessee
conducted an unannounced RCRA-C inspection in Jun.,'93.
Several violations were cited among five separate
counts, and a proposed fine of $66,500.
PROBLEM AREA:
WATER: Continued emphasis on the cross-connection control
program. Water Storage tanks inspections are nearly
complete. Inspections have shown that there will need
to be major repairs made to above ground tanks and
clearwells. Study is underway to determine the best
alternative for drinking water for the installation if
the plant/water source requires major upgrades or
additional treatment. Control of new connections to
distribution system is needed to ensure that fire
protection pressures are adequate and water demands are
met. Record keeping has improved, but needs additional
attention. Certification of the new water Plant
Supervisor must be obtained to meet state requirements.
WASTE WATER: Toxicity remains a potential problem although the plant
has passed all biomonitoring tests for the past 3
years. New NPDES permit is more stringent than
previous permit and monitoring requirements are more
frequent. Sludge disposal will be land application in
the future. Work is under way to prepare contract
documents and land application plan are required by
Tennessee. Purging facility is nearly complete,
oil/water separators have been upgraded, and
pretreatment of sources of toxicity are being studied.
Waste Water Management Plan is needed to control new
connections. Additional pretreatment to new and
existing sources should be addressed. Occasional
spikes of permit parameter are experienced and are
believed to be caused by excessive inflow problems.
Inflow problems must be corrected.
NOISE: There are plans by local communities to develop housing
within noise zone II and III off the installation,
this action could significantly degrade the

installation's ability to perforin assigned or projected
mission,
STORM WATER: Revisions of storm water plans within required time
frames will continue to be a problem as well as
certification of outfalls.
UST: Total number of USTs is 329. Projects to remove,
replace, and upgrade 111 regulated tanks will need
funding to put program into compliance. UST closure
and other response from Kentucky regulators remain a
problem due to high turnover rate of employees and
backlog of UST closure submittals.
RCRA: Although the RCRA Part B Permit was received in
Sep.,'90, a modification of the permit to increase the
floor size to 4800 square feet was filed in '93.
Permit to construct and operate storage facility issued
by Tennessee Sep.,'94. Construction of the conforming
facility is scheduled in FY 95. EPCRA reporting
requirements for the "City" of Fort Campbell is
anticipated to be a vast undertaking.
Approva] of Solid Waste Management Unit Plan by
Kentucky.
ACTION NEEDED

POLLUTION PREVENTION
Fort Knox is recycling used solvents, used oil, and
off-specification fuels through contracts. Material
recycling operations include paper products, plastics,
metals, glass, and wooden-pallets. A composting
operation has begun to recycle leaves, grass clippings,
and brush. The hospital laboratory has begun recycling
of ethyl alcohol for reuse. A committee has been
formed to initiate the institution of a pharmacy
program for all using organizations on the installation
to recycle paints and other common materials. A task
force has been formed to study steam cleaning
operations in motor pools to insure these operations
discharge waste' water through oil/water separators, and
no detergents or other chemicals are being used in the

COMPLIANCE STATUS
AIR The Jefferson County region is considered non-
attainment for ozone. The JCAPCD is developing a SIP
revision to address emissions from mobile sources, area
sources, and industrial sources. Production and
manufacturing operations must meet VOC limitations.
The JCAPCD has re-issued conditional operating permits
for the new plating facility, Bldg 117.
The chromium emissions rates were measured in a source
test in June 1994. The rate were below the recently
issued NESHAP standard for chromium. The new NESHAP
standard for vapor cleaning will be applicable to the
vapor degreaser used in Bldg 117.
The station was last inspected during the week of Jul.
11, '94 by JCAPCD. A NOV was received for operation of
a vapor degreaser and a portable gasoline tank without
a valid permit. The permits were obtained and the
issue resolved. A NOV was received for exceeding the
VOC emission limit for coating usage.
The annual Air Emissions Inventory (SAMs) was submitted
to JCAPCD in April,'94.
WATER The station obtains all potable water from the city.

Naval Ordnance Station, KY.
WASTE WATER The station discharges all waste water to the
local POTW. The current permit for discharge was
issued on 1 May 93, and expires Dec 31,'96. Monthly
self-monitoring at the out fall of the old metal
finishing point source at Building E was eliminated.
The station conducts monthly self-monitoring at the
outfalls of the metal finishing point source at the
Industrial Waste Treatment Facility (Bldg 118) and the
discharges that make up the total facility discharge.
The station received 2 NOVs from MSD for exceeding the
discharge limitations for cyanide and total chromium at
Building 118 during Oct.,'93 and total chromium at
Building 118 during Feb.,'94. A NOV was received from
MSD for having no flow data for the total facility
discharge during Oct.,'94. MSD performed a waste water
survey from May 1-10,'94. No violations were found as
a result of the survey.
UST The station has 21 USTs ( 1 regulated, 9 deferred, and
II non-regulated). The closure report for the 3 motor
fuel tanks was submitted to the state. In Apr.,'94,
the state requested the installation of 3 groundwater
monitoring wells at the site where the motor fuel tanks
were removed. A contractor installed the monitoring
wells in Aug/.'94. The sample results from the three
groundwater monitor wells were submitted to the state
in Sep.,S4.
RCRA: The station has a State RCRA permit and a Federal HSWA
permit. Both permits were effective 30 Oct 85. The
most recent RCRA inspection was conducted in Mar.,'94
by the state. A NOV dated Apr. 12,'94 cited 6
.Lciencies. In Apr.,'94, the state resolved the
station's dispute concerning the deficiency from the
abrasive blast operation. The state agreed that the
abrasive blast operations met the accumulation '
requirements and deleted all previous record of the
violation. A follow up RCRA inspection was conducted
on Jul. 14, b>4 Ly the state. A NOV dated Jul 15, '94
citea no new violations, but 2 unresolved violations
from the Mar.,'94 NOV. Only one deficiency remains
unresolved for the written job descriptions not
containing the hazardous waste duties or training that
is required to fill the position. The job descriptions
are in the process of being rewritten.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN USEC AND DOE:
PGDP is a uranium enrichment facility owned by DOE.
Pursuant to Title IX of the Energy Policy Act of 1992,
the United States Enrichment Corp(USEC) was established
as a wholly owned government corporation. In
accordance with the Energy Policy Act, USEC and DOE
have entered into an agreement pursuant to which USEC
is operating portions of PGDP effective as of Jul.
lr'93. Under provisions of the lease, DOE continues to
perform various activities including decontamination,
decommissioning, and environmental response actions and
corrective actions. DOE conducts its activities at
PGDP throuah Mertin Marietta Energy Systems. USEC
conducts \t activities at PGDP through an'operating
contractor.. Martin Marietta Utility Services. This
report reflects only those activities for which DOE is
responsible.
COMPLIANCE STATUS
AIR During Aoru. '93, DOE submitted to the State source
j.nrormavion associated with currently operated DOE
facilities. After reviewing the information the State
on May 17,'94 determined that the DOE sources were
insignificant end not considered to be toxic, therefore
the Stat.e does not require the issuance of an operating
permit. Open burning and fugitive emissions rules
continue to apply to DOE activities at PGDP.
WATER: In compliance. PGDP/USEC obtains water from the
Ohio River and operates a water treatment plant under
Kentucky Division of Water (KDOW) permit #0732-457.
Treatment consists of lime-soda ash softening process,
sand filtration, and chlorination for disinfection.

Paciucah Gaseous Diffusion Plant, KY (DOE)
WASTE WATER: PGDP is currently discharging waste water under a XPDES
#KY0Q04049 effective Nov.1,'92. Permit grants
discharge approval to both USEC and DOE. KDOW has
issued a stay of metal limits, pH, phosphorous, and
temperature limits, to PGDP until an Agreed Order(AO)
can be negotiated.
In response to the 1990 PCB No.ice of Violation (NOV),
PGDP instigated the PCB Source Identification study by
contracting with Corps of Engineers to conduct sampling
and analysis activities in order to identify PCB
sources at PGDP. A final report was completed in 1992
and identified no continuing source of PCBs from PGDP.
A sediment characterization program was completed in
Sep.,'94 to determine the extent of the PCB
concentration in the stream sediment in Big and Little
Bayou Creeks.
On Aug. 16,'S4 and Nov. 16, '94, NOV s were received for
PCB exceedances of effluent limits. A risk assessment
was initiated through the COE to determine effects of
PCBs in effluent waters. In addition, several
remedial measures to control the sources of PCBs in
effluent discharges have been initiated.
UST: PGDP UST program includes 10 USTs. The following
reflects their status:
The 2 existing tank systems addressed by
regulation were installed in Feb.,'92. These USTs were
installed within the regulatory requirements and do not
need upgrading before the Dec. 22,'98 deadline.
8 HSWA permit deferred USTs - These 8 tanks will
be required to close pursuant to 40 CFK Part 280,
Subpart G. It is noted that DOE/'PGDP has been allowed
to defer the investigation for these tanks to the HSWA
permit. Of these S tanks, 3 USTs are excluded from
regulation - 2 'JSTs contain heating oil and have no
regulatory driver; one UST has a volume less than 110
gallons and is, therefore, excluded from regulation.
To date, j USTs have been closed.
RCRA: The RCRA & HSWA permit was issued Jul.17,'91. There
have been 7 modifications to the permit. DOE/PGDP is
inspected for RCRA compliance on an annual basis by the
Paducah Regional Office of KDWM. The Sep.,'94 and
Feb.,'95 inspections resulted in no compliance
violations. LDR and TCLP Federal Facility Compliance
Agreements (FFCAs) have been negotiated with EPA.
CERCLA: In Aug.'88, DOE and EPA entered into an Administrative
Consent Order (ACO) under sections 104 and 106 of
CERCLA which required DOE to conduct routine monitoring

of residential wells potentially affected by the off-
site contamination, provide alternative drinking water
supplies to residents with contaminated wells, and
investigate the nature and extent of off-site
contamination.
Upon discovery of the off-site contamination, DOE
immediately instituted the following response actions:
1 - Provided temporary bottled water to affected
residences;
2 - Sampled surrounding residential wells to assess
the extent of contamination;
3 - Extended the city water line to affected
residences as a permanent source of water; and
4 - Becran routine sampling of residential wells around
PGDP.
5 - Subsequent studies have identified trichlorthylene
(TCE) and Technitium (Tc-99) as the primary contaminant
in off-site groundwater at PGDP.
6 - A northwest and northeast groundwater plume
extends off-site and was delineated.
7 - PCBs and radionuclides are the primary
contaminants detected in surface water and sediment in
outfalls, ditches and creeks around PGDP.
8 - Several on-site sources were identified as
potential contributors to off-site contamination.
Several interim remedial actions have been designed to
prevent further off-site migration of contaminants and
to reduce risks to human health and the environment.
The surface water interim corrective actions included
institutional controls (posting and fencing) for those
outfalls, creeks, and lagoons to which the public can
gain access. A series of interim actions have also
been initiated for groundwater to reduce the current
risks to human health and prevent further off-site
migration of contaminants. DOE established a water
policy to respond in the event additional off-site
contamination was found.
However, in 199? DOE modified the water policy to
include provisions tc extend a municipal water line to
the entire area potentially affected by the groundwater
contamination originating from PGDP. Construction to
extend the municipal water line was completed in 1994.
The most significant interim action taken under the SCO
was developed to evaluate groundwater extraction and
treatment to reduce the spread of contamination. The
ROD for Interim Remedial Action of the Northwest plume
was signed in Jul.,'93. Construction activities to

implement the action are underway and are scheduled to
be completed in 1995.
On May 31, 1994, PGDP was placed on the NPL.
Negotiation for the FFA were started in 1993 and are
expected to be completed in 1995. The FFA will serve
as a comprehensive procedure for remediation of PGDP
and will integrate the CERCLA remedial action
requirement with the RCRA corrective action
requirements specified in the RCRA permits. When the
FFA is finalized, the Parties have agreed to terminate
the CERCLA ACO since these activities can easily be
continued under the FFA. Under the FFA, DOE is
required to submit an annual Site Management Plan (SMP)
to EPA and KDEP. The SMP will summarize the remediaton
work completed to date, outline remedial priorities,
and present schedules for completing future work.
TOXICS: 74 C-5 transformers are categorized as PCB (>499 ppm
PCB) and approximately 8565 large, high-voltage, PCB
capacitors were in service at PGDP the beginning of the
year, of which about 4 0% have been removed and placed
in storage, resulting in 5,084 PCB capacitors remaining
in service at PGDP. 43 pieces of PCB-contaminated
electrical equipment '<499 ppm) are in service at PGDP.
All hydraulic systems except those in the C-34 0
building, that have been found to contain 50 ppm or
greater hs.ve been drained and retrofilled with non-PCB
fluid. Ventilation duct gaskets containing percent
levels of PCBs have been identified in most buildings
at POD". \ project to trough all motor exhaust duct
flanges was completed in November 1993.
POLLUTION PREVENTION
A full time waste minimization/ pollution prevention
coordinator was appointed for DOE/PGDP activities.
Efforts are currently underway to establish pollution
prevention programs for various waste streams. One
such program is the office paper and aluminum can
recycling program, which is nearing implementation.
A cross-functional work team has been organized to
examine pollution prevention possibilities for a wide
variety projects - In addition, selected pollution
prevention -opportunity as,ie3sments will be performed to
identify possible waste reduction. Additionally, an
affirmative procurement program is being addressed.

PROBLEM AREAS
WATER: The NOVs issued to DOE by KDOW for PCB effluent
exceedances in 1994 are difficult to resolve due to the
extremely low effluent levels (.10 ppb +/-) Historic
contamination of PC262s resulting from waste handling
activities and eguipment failures is present over much
of the facility. efforts are in progress to include
this issue into the FFA with EPA and the State which
is currently being negotiated.

UNITED STATESENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
PADUCAH GASEOUS DIFFUSION PLANT (USDOE!
Paducah, Kentucky
Conditions at Proposal (May 10, '93): The Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant (PGDP) is a uranium
enrichment facility covering approximately 1,350 acres in western McCracken County, approximately 10
miles west of Paducah, Kentucky, and about 3 miles south of the Ohio River. PGDP began operating in
1952 and is owned and operated by the U.S. Deprj-tment of Energy (USDOE). The facility is currently
managed by Martin Marietta Energy Systems, Inc.
Approximately 740 acres of the plant are located within a fenced security area. An uninhabited buffer
zone surrounds the fenced area. Beyond the USDOE-ownea buffer zone is an extensive wildlife
management area of 2. 100 acres deeded or leased to the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
PGDP performs the first step in the uranium enrichment process, enriching uranium-235 (U-235) in a
physical separation process. The separation process is based on the faster rate at which U-235 diffuses
through a barrier, in comparison with the heavier uranium-238 (U-238). Subsequent to processing at
PGDP, the uranium is further enriched at another USDOE gaseous diffusion plant. Extensive support
facilities are required to maintain the diffusion process, including a steam plant, four major electrical
switchyard, four sets of cooling towers, a building for chemical cleaning and decontamination, a water
treatment plant, maintenance facilities, and laboratory facilities.
Plant operations have generated hazardous, nonhazardous, and radioactive wastes, including PCBS,
trichloroethene (TCE), uranium (multiple isotopes), and technetium-99 (Tc-99). In August 1988, USDOE
found Tc-99 in an offsite drinking water well north of PGDP. TCE has also been detected in nearby
private wells and onsite monitoring, weils. Approximately 1,400 people obtain drinking water from public
and private weils within 4 miles of PGDP.
USDOE has detected PCBs 'in onsite surface water and downstream of the, plant in Big Bayou Creek
and in Little Bayou Creek. These creeks are part of the West Kentucky Wildlife Management Area
located adjacent to the facility. Big Bayou Creek is currently used for fisfting. In 1989, the State of
Kentucky's Division of Water warned against consumption of fish caught from Little Bayou Creek.
Status (May '94)- Two Records of Decision (ROD) have been signed for remedial activities under
CERCLA. On July 22, 1993, EPA signed a ROD for an interim remedial action of the most contaminated
portion of the northwest plume. The northwest plume is mainly composed of dissolved TCE and Tc-99.
On March 25, 1994, remedial action was initiated in accordance with the ROD. The actions included
delineating sites for construction activities, awarding a purchase order for seven water treatment skids,
and issuing a Notice of Award for construction of ground water extraction weils.
On March 28, 1994, EPA signed a ROD for an interim action source control at the North-South Diversion
Ditch (NSDD). The primary objective of tnis action is to initiate control (.treatment) of the source of
continued radionuclide releases into the NSDD. it will also mitigate the spread of contamination from
sediment in the NSDD.
Negotiations continue between EPA, DOE, and the Kentucky Department of Environmental Protection
for completing a Federal Facility Agreement.
Alternative water supplies (public water lines) have be^n provided to residents in the path of ground
water contamination related to the releases from the olant. Residents have been offered the opportunity
to change from the use of ground water to public water.

these waste water plants in 1994. Also, located
on the reservation are 2 privately owned
campgrounds with package plants, which were
inspected by EPA in 1994 (Yogi in the Smokies #1
[NC00852507 ] and #2 [NC0052493]). These plants
are operated by the tribe and maintained by the
Cherokee Water and Sewer Tribal Enterprises.
The Water and Sewer Department provide both
operations and laboratory service under contract.
The laboratory at the waste water plant is a
commercial lab certified by the state.
The tribe owns and operates a trout farm, and
enterprise fishing waters on the reservation. The
facility is permitted by EPA. The other two
hatcheries are privately owned.
The tribe was selected for a model grant under the
Indian set-aside program to install waste water
collection in Jun.,'90 and the first phase was
completed and mor.ey was saved. A request was
submitted and approved to continue with the
installation of additional mains. This grant was
completed Sep.'91 and final inspection by EPA was
completed.
The water and Sewer Department, under a 106 grant
from EPA, monitors and analyzes stream samples and
collection data for setting stream water quality
standards for the reservation. The department
also operates both a certified drinking water and
waste water laboratory to conduct analysis for
both water treatment and waste water treatment
facilities.

construct such a facility on the reservation. The
tribe closed the municipal solid waste landfill in
accordance with the Apr.,'94 deadline and the
Oct.,'94 closure deadline. The tribe constructed
a transfer station and currently contracts with
Waste Management, Inc. for disposal in an off-
reservation facility.
Hazardous waste: asbestos is buried in the
municipal solid waste landfill in a designated
area that is fenced and properly marked.
Based on a survey of the reservation, no toxics
were discovered at this time. We will continue to
evaluate and report any finding.
POLLUTION PREVENTION
The reservation has a recycling program which
collects aluminum cans, glass, paper and cardboard
by a central recycling center. There is also a
trailer which is placed in each community by a
schedule that is published in the local newspaper.
Recycling coordinator has an education program
that is presented in the elementary school and to
community clubs. This program plans to expand
both collections and education efforts. An
analysis was conducted regarding the reservation's
solid waste program. This includes a waste stream
analysis and efforts to place a 20 year solid
waste management plan in operation. This effort
has concluded with the development of a Regional
Solid Waste Management Plan with the participation
of adjacent counties of Swain and Jackson.
In other areas of pollution prevention, the tribe
is utilizing assistance from the EPA and IHS in
the development of a waste water sludge composting
facility for the reservation. Additionally, the
tribe is in the process of developing a storm
water plan for the Acquoni Road section of the
reservation utilizing resources from section 104
(b). The tribe is utilizing section 319 funds in
coordination with the Soil Conservation Service
and tribal funds for the critical treatment of
tribal reserve land which was damaged due to
logging activities in the '80's. This project is
underway and represents Phase 8 of the on-going

ENVIRONMENTAL AUDIT
Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians has had no agency
conduct an environmental audit. This report will
serve as our in-house audit. The Tribal
Environmental Office (TEO) is supported via a
multi-media grant from EPA. The effort is
designed to build capacity to better manage
environmental programs on the Reservation as well
as consolidating all environmental programs in one
department to better serve the tribe. The TEO is
coordinating the development of an overall Tribal
Environmental Plan for the Reservation. The plan
addressed the feasibility and evaluated the
tribe's options in the assumption of primacy for
the various EPA programs available.
PROBLEM AREAS:
Water treatment facility does not meet SDWA
treatment rule, and also experiences periods when
demand for potable water cannot be met and
problems are encountered with low line pressure.
The new 3 MGD central water plant under
construction should alleviate these problems and
bring the system into compliance.
Waste water treatment plant is still experiencing
infiltration/inflow problems during heavy rains.
The plant can meet needs during the winter with
low flows, but in the summer during high flows,
problems with plant operations are encountered.
Preliminary engineering plans are underway in the
evaluating the options to expand the tribe's waste
water facility to 3 mgd.
ACTION NEEDED
The Indian Health Service, HUD, and EPA have been
approached for financial assistance for a new
water treatment facility that will meet both
treatment and demand needs. Design is complete
and bids for construction have been received.
David M. Sidbury Co., was.low bidder and contracts
have been signed with a Notice to Proceed issued.
Construction is under way and approximately 65%
298
-------
complete with a completion date expected in June
or July, '95.
The infiltration problems with the waste water
plant are being addressed in-house with assistance
from Indian Health Service. This project is an on
going process..
Continuation of efforts to plan effectively for
the solid waste at the reservation over the next
20 years. We will also continue to look at
working with adjacent counties in the management
of solid waste. This regionalization effort was
made possible through a pilot regional solid waste
management plan previously referenced.
The tribe with EPA multi-media grant assistance,
has in place a. full-time Tribal Environmental
Office to evaluate and better coordinate
environmental programs for the tribe. Major
emphasis is being placed on the development and
construction of pollution prevention projects for
the reservation.

POLLUTION PREVENTION
The expansion of used JP-5 fuels recycling began
in 1992 at the heating plant thus providing direct
cost and disposal cost avoidance. Also the
collection and sale of waste wood at the air
Station's C & D landfill started in 1992. To
further pollution prevention and waste
minimization, "no cost" recycling programs were
implemented in 1992 aboard the Air station which
includes office and computer paper, glass, and
plastic/brown grocery bags. The curbside
recycling program was expanded in 1994 to include
drop off points for the barracks.
The Qualified Recycling Program (QRP) was expanded
to include corrugated cardboard and telephone
booKd on Gut.27, ' 94. Bocn of these items will be
collected and processed at the Air Station's
.-Li'_erial Recovery Facility fMPJM . January 1995

management/cleanup of the sites.
Once regulatory agencies have reviewed SWMU
Assessment reports for new SWMUs, some type of
Corrective Action may be required.
The Air Station remains under direction to perform
RCRA closure of waste water polishing ponds and
sludge application areas. Requests for further
information nave been mailed to regulators.
CERCLA All CERCLA sites are presently managed under the
RCRA 3008 (h) Consent Order. Official
notification from EPA Region IV indicates that the
Air station will be proposed for inclusion on the

U.S. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AFGENCY- NATIONAL PRIORITY LISTING
CHERRY POINT MARINE CORPS AIR STATION
Havelock, North Carolina
Cherry Point Marine Corps Air Station is located within Havelock-,
Craven County, North Carolina. The air station covers 11,485
acres and is located on a peninsula between the Neuse River to
the north and Core and Bogue Sounds to the south.
The air station was commissioned in 1942 and a massive aircraft
assembly and repair facility, which later became the Naval
Aviation Depot (NADEP), was added in 1943. The NADEP Flight Line
and Maintenance and Support Squadron are the primary generators
of waste. Hazardous wastes generated by the air station include
plating wastes which contain heavy metals and cyanides? organic
solvents, paint removers and cleaners, waste petroleum, oil and
lubricants; and polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) wastes. Prior to
1982, most hazardous wastes were disposed onsite. Presently,
hazardous wastes are placed in drums and sent to the Defense
Reutilization and Marketing Office hazardous waste storage
facility for disposal offsite. Other hazardous and non-hazardous
wastes are piped to the industrial waste water treatment plant at
the air station. Discharge of treated waste water to Slocum
Creek is permitted under the National Pollutant Discharge
Elimi nation System.
The air station submitted a RCRA Part A application on November
18, 1980, for the storage and treatment of hazardous wastes. The
Part A application was modified and resubmitted on May 28, 1981.
The air station submitted the first version of the Part B
application on November 4, 1984 and submitted revisions in 1986,
1987, and 1988. Available file material does not indicate
whether the Part B permit application has been approved.
The hydrogeologic units which underlie the air station include a
surficial aquifer, an upper confining unit, the Yorktown aquifer,
a lower confining unit, and the Castle Hayne aquifer. A
discontinuity occurs in the confining units in the southern part
of the air station. The air station is supplied by 24 wells
located onsite which draw from the Castle Hayne aquifer.
Sampling in 1986, conducted by the US Geological Survey,
indicated elevated concentratioas of benzene, arsenic, lead, aad
nickel in air station drinking water wells.
Surface water runoff from source areas travels to Slociun Creek or
its small tributaries, Turkey Gut and Schoolhouse Creek, which
all drain into the Neuse River estuar;. The Neuse River is a
recreational and commercial fishery. Sediment samples collected
from Slocum Creek, in 1987 and 1990, have documented PCB and
arsenic contamination. Slocum Creek is a recreational fishery
and a state-designated inland pri/.iary nursery are;;.

AIR: In compliance; during 1994, all air quality
permits were obtained from the state prior to
construction or modification of emission sources.
Procedures are in place to ensure future permits
are obtained. An air quality Base Order is being
developed to facilitate compliance throughout MCB
Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River. The current 981
sources of emissions were in compliance during
calendar year 1994 and did not receive and NOVs.
A comprehensive study of Ozone Depleting

for lead and copper started in Jul.,'92 for Hadnot
Point, Holcomb Blva, and MCAS New River (the
medium size systems) and in July 1993 for the
remaining systems. NGVs received when a
contractor failed to submit initial lead and
copper summary reports for the 3 medium size
systems to DEHNR in a timely manner, have been
resolved. DEHNR has approved reduced monitoring
of the Holcomb Blvd system which did not exceed
the action levels during the first or second
rounds of testing, nor did it exceed these levels
during subsequent rounds of testing. The MCAS New
River drinking water system has exceeded action
levels during all 5 rounds of testing. Onslow
Beach, Rifle range, and Courthouse Bay water
systems exceeded action levels for lead during the
initial and subsequent round of testing. A public
education program has been implemented which
focuses on encouraging water system users to flush
spigots used to obtain water for drinking and food
preparation. A licensed engineering consulting
firm has been contracted to conduct a corrosion
control study to evaluate measures which can be
taken to make the water less corrosive.
2 - All systems are in compliance with volatile
organic compounds (VOCs) monitoring. The 1991
quarterly sampling of VOCs has been completed
without exceeding any MCLs. The Hadnot Point
system showed trichloroetnylene below the MCL, and
the State has required the continued VOC quarterly
monitoring of that system.
3 - Triennial monitoring for trace metals,
completed during 1991 for all six systems with no
MCLs being exceeded, was implemented in 1994
according to scheaule and included Phase II and V
parameters. Phase II and V synthetic organic
cheiiu-o&xs, pesiicides, and PCBs commenced in
Apr., ^J were oompxeted in Mar.,'94. No MCLs
have been exceeded at this time. Annual nitrate
nesting began in 1S93. One time requirement for
nitrates was compxeted in 1993.
4 - Total tri-halo-methane (THM) monitoring is
bexny conducted. Ail 6 systems are in compliance.
WASTE WATER: Out. ox complxance. Existing treatment
capabilities of Camp Lejeune's 7 waste water

USMC Camp Lejeune, NC
treatment plants can not meet effluent standards
in DEHNR issued NPDES permits containing
stringent, new state water quality standards for
the New River.
1 - To resolve the non-compliance problem, Camp
Lejeune plants are operating under a SOC which
specifies: (1) a new Waste Water Treatment Plant
(WWTP) construction schedule; (2) interim WWTP
effluent standards? (3) river monitoring to
provide actual New River data for use in future
NPDES River Modeling; and (4) stipulated penalties
for noncompliance of Clean Water Act exemptions
are waived. The three phase construction of the
new WWTP will start in FY94 and will be completed
by Dec.,'98. Total construction cost estimate
certified to Congress is $78 million. Completion
of the associated EIS, has been delayed pending
results of mandated study of land disposal
alternative(s). Except for minor, intermittent
violations of effluent standards, Camp Lejeune is
in compliance with the SOC at remaining 6 waste
water treatment plants. SOC limits for BOD were
exceeded at Camp Johnson plant for Jan.,'93 due to
an apparent oil.and grease overload. Efforts to
improve BOD reduction include addition of
temporary chemical feed in Feb.,'93 and increased
grease trap servicing.
2 - Past NOV's related to toxicity of effluent
have been resolved. Pre and post-chlorination
testing indicated the toxicity to be directly
attributable to the addition of chlorine as a
disinfecting agent in the chlorine contact
chamber. To resolve the NQVs, dechlorination was
installed in the Hadnot Point facility and
o^ferreri at the 6 smaller plants during SOC
negotiations with DEHNR.
3 - Discharges from storm water bypasses of wash
racks, SPCC facilities, and other oil pollution
abatement and waste water pretreatment facilities
installed under NPDES compliance orders in the
late '70's and '80's and other miscellaneous
sources of pollutants being discharged to storm
drains were included in the NPDES permit Part I
application. The Camp Lejeune storm water study
has completed mapping of pollutant sources;
identified storm water out falls, and to monitored
storm water quality in 20 out falls selected in
cooperation with the state. The completed storm
water NPDES application has been sent to DEHNR.

4 - The Onslow Beach water treatment plant
backwash pond NPDES permit was renewed in
Jul.,'93. A non-discharge permit has been issued
for land disposal of solids from water treatment
plant backwash pond maintenance.
UST: Out of compliance. The UST program is out of
compliance in 3 areas: leak detection, tank
closure/removal, and spill and overfill
protection. Leak detection non-compliance is
caused by the failure of a significant number of
tank operators to satisfactorily implement or
document inventory control requirements for
release detection. Additionally, incidents of
overfilling of USTs have occurred, indicating
inadequate prevention equipment, procedures and
training. The SPCC and FRP plans are both being
updated. MCB Camp Lejeune is in the process of
updating all UST systems by '96 to "new" tank
standards. The following pertain:
1 - Revision of the SPCC and FRP will update the
documentation of facilities and improve spill
response capabilities. The SPCC will be
integrated into the FRP providing site specific
preventative and response procedures. A
comprehensive tank management program will be
implemented base wide, aimed at providing base
compliance for all tanks.
2 - Standing Operating Procedures have been
written for inventory control, spill/overfilling
prevention, and leak detection methods covering
the broad spectrum of tanks in use on Camp
Lejeune. Inspection forr.s, gauging charts, and
daily logs/documentation records are being
developed to meet both operational and
environmental requirements. Tank files are being
established at each site to track and document
management efforts.
3 - Past UST and AST studies are beina reviewed by
private consultants- tc determine remaining
deficiencies and to address needed changes in the
tank program. All USTs are scheduled for
replacement, upgrade, or removal by 1996, well
ahead of the Bee.22, '98 deadline. New tank
systems and upgrades include Automatic Tank/
System Gauging, double wal? corrector. resistant
tanks ar.d pirirg, and spill/ cverfil] protection.
Initial training in inventory control has been
provided for operators of regulated USTs. More
315
-------

USMC Camp Lejeune, NC
in-depth training in regulatory requirement,
release prevention, and spill response is being
developed.
4 - A UST/AST management program is in progress
including regulatory compliance training.
Removal, Replacement, and upgrading of some 505
active regulated USTs is well ahead of the '98
compliance deadline. Approximately 1/3 of the
USTs are being eliminated, 1/3 replaced or
upgraded to meet new standards, and 1/3 replaced
with new ASTs.
5 - The 2 major UST problem areas are insufficient
training for operators, owners, and maintenance
personnel and inadequate design and installation
of tank systems. Operational and compliance
training is hampered by rapid turnover of military
personnel, the lack of adequate maintenance and
supervisory personnel, and shortages of training
funds and time. Inadequate specifications and
contract oversight have resulted in poorly
installed tank systems and leak prevention
systems.
RCRA: In compliance; no NOVs have been issued or are
pending from State or Federal regulatory agencies.
All bulk storage tanks requiring formal closure
have undergone proper cleaning, state
certification/ release, and have been dismantled
and properly disposed of or upgraded for continued
use within the used oil recycling program. Two of
the sites affected by the formal closure cannot
meet clean closure standards and have been
programmed into the base IR?. An application to
renew the Part B Long-term Hazardous Waste Storage
permit was forwarded to the State in Mar.,'94.
This application addresses site selection for and
construction of a new DLA funded hazardous waste
storage facility. The design directive for the
Conforming Storage Facility (CSF) and
Environmental Assessment (EA) has been initiated.
The Marine Corps iba=>.= jiain tains interim status for
Open Burning/Open Detonation (OS/CD) under Subpart
X. A consultant has been hired to assess OB/OD
requirements, evaluate existing facilities (to
quantify requirements for operational
improvements), and recommend facility upgrades.

management plan for the base has been completed.
The plan consists of three phases:
1 - The inspection of sites; each inspected site
was evaluated and given a priority.
2 - Sampling the areas of highest priority.
3 - Removal of asbestos containing materials.
Phase I has been completed and Phase II has begun.
POLLUTION PREVENTION
The primary objective of MCB, Camp Lejeune's
pollution prevention program is to use the most
cost-effective combination of management
approaches to reduce the volume and toxicity of
the wastes generated. These include, but are not
limited to, applying specific engineering process
and using innovative waste management procedures;
reusing and/or treating waste generated by Base
procedures and processes; using non-hazardous
waste generating methods and/or products;
capturing recyclable substances and processing
them for reuse; conducting on-going education and
awareness programs, and avoiding spills,
discharges and bypasses. A Hazardous Materials
Pollution Prevention Program Study is underway
into regulatory compliance and to increase
operation readiness by reducing nazards to life,
property, and the environment.
ENVIRONMENTAL AUDITS
An environmental Compliance Audit was conducted by
Headquarters Marine Corps durinq tne period of

CAMP LEJEUNE MARINE CORPS BASE
Onslow County, North Carolina
Camp LeJeune, a U.S. Marine Corps Base established in 1941,
covers 170 square miles in Onslow County, North Carolina. The complex
has a number of facilities, including the Marine Corps Air Station New
River, which adjoins the base. The main function of the complex is
training. ABC One Hour Cleaners in nearby Jacksonville is also being
proposed for the NPL in June 1988.
The Navy has identified 76 potential waste disposal areas in Camp
LeJeune and designated 22 as posing a potential threat to public
health and the environment. The NPL site is "Site #21, Lot #14 0," a
220 - by 890 - foot area where pesticides were mixed and application
equipment cleaned. During 1950-51, transformer oil was dumped in an
8-foot-deep pit on the lot. The Navy has detected pesticides,
including DDT, DDE, and aldrin in soil from Site #21.
Ground water at the base is shallow (10 feet) and subsurface
formations permeable, conditions that facilitate movement of
contaminants into ground water. An estimated 13,800 people obtain
their drinking water from wells within 3 miles of Site #21, the
nearest one 1,400 feet away.
Camp LeJeune is participating in the Installation Restoration
Program, the specially funded program established in 197 8 under which
the Department of Defense has been identifying and evaluating its past
hazardous waste sites and controlling the migration of hazardous
contaminants from these sites. The Navy has completed Phase I
(records search). Phase II (hydrogeologic investigation) is under
way.

U.S. Coast Guard Support Center, Elizabeth City, North Carolina
reduction in amount of hazardous materials used
and hazardous waste generated on the facility.
The Support center has implemented a P2 program
which follows guidelines established by the
Commandant of the Coast Guard. In addition, an
Environmental Committee was formed in 1994 to
address environmental issues on a complex-wide
basis.
The Support Center is initiating a pharmacy
concept for control of hazardous materials on the
complex, which will assist us in both waste
minimization and pollution prevention. A
comprehensive recycling program for the complex
has been developed and will be implemented as soon
as approval from Coast Guard Headquarters is
received.
ENVIRONMENTAL AUDIT
A comprehensive Environmental Compliance
Evaluation (ECE) was conducted during Oct.,'94 by
a Coast Guard contractor. Final report is due
during the first quarter of calendar year 1995.
Recommendations made in the final report will be
reviewed and a plan developed for implementation.

have been closed to date (84%). Internal audit
planned for Jun.,'95.
PROBLEM AREAS
Waste water sampling is a very big concern.
Permitted limits for NPDES and NCSD outfalls are
very low and can be heavily influenced by numerous
factors from weather to sampling
technique/accuracy. We are concerned about getting
NOVs for random anomalous waste water sample
results.
Lead-based paint abatement is an emerging problem
requiring workload for inventories, analyses,
training and disposal. There does not appear to be
many experienced contractors in this area.
New OSHA regulations on asbestos may greatly
increase asbestos management requirements/costs .
ACTION NEEDED

COMPLIANCE STATUS
AIR: In compliance. Has a state air permit (#0560.0145)
for 14 sources, expires 31 August 1997. Notified
state in July 1994 of conversion from the storage
of JP4 jet fuel to JP8 jet fuel. Air emissions
will be reduced drastically due to switch in
products. Last inspection by the state was 8 April
1994, and was found in compliance.
WATER: In compliance. Water is supplied by the city.
WASTE WATER: In compliance. NPDES permit #500021997, is current
and the DFSP is meeting limits as specified. An
application for modification of the permit was
filed in 1994 to cover upcoming construction
projects scheduled for 1995. These construction
projects will include adding a new oil/water
separator, and changing che direction of flow of
the discharge ditch.
UST: In compliance. Facility has 7 USTs of which 2 .are
used for spill containment. The remaining 5 are
nested annually and inventoried monthly. A project
to remove ail 7 USTs and replace with above ground
double wall tanks was halted in 1994 due to
unforeseen high groundwater problems at the
facility. Construction will resume in 1995 after
contract modifications.
RCRA: In compliance. Generator status only. EPA ID
#SC9570024332. The facility generated and disposed
of 253 tons of hazardous waste in 1594. Waste was
tank bottom water contaminated with benzene at
greater than 0.5 ppm (EPA characteristic TC waste
for benzene). Conversion to JP8 will minimize
benzene as a contaminant.
CERCLA: In 1975, the site had a fuel spill that released a
345

considerable amount of fuel into the ground.
During July 1984, complaints of bad odors from a
pond were received from homeowners next to the
facility. The odors were noticed during periods of
high water levels when it rained. The odor in the
pond has been mitigated; however-, there is still an
intermittent odor problem in the low lying
residential area next to the facility. A
preliminary assessment for the DFSP was prepared by
USEPA, Region IV and given a hazardous ranking of
12. Petroleum hydrocarbon contamination is exempt
from CERCLA.
Studies were conducted (1987-88) which discovered a
main plume of contamination which extends well off
the facility to the north and under residential
property. Remedial alternatives were recommended
of which the most viable included consideration of
the best attainable cleanup levels and the least
amount of disturbance to private property owners.
The groundwater cleanup system selected will meet
all applicable design and level of treatment
guidelines. This cleanup system, which employs a
combination of groundwater withdrawal, treatment
and biological remediation, has been constructed
and became operational on 27 January 1992.
The studies and subsequent testing verify that
there are two additional plumes of contamination,
laterally east and west of the 197 5 spill location.
ABB Environmental completed its environmental
assessment of the site in January 1995. IT Corp.
will recommend the best remedial alternatives, and
implement the best alternative.
EPA requested additional information in order to
complete their Hazard Ranking System (HRS) scoring
for this site, and information was supplied to EPA
during May 1993. No further correspondence has
been received from EPA.
TOXICS: Fuel and anti-static chemicals.
POLLUTION PREVENTION
DFSC has a hazardous waste minimization program in
place to reduce the amount of hazardous
constituents in waste water from tank bottoms. In
addition, DFSC specifies use of non-leaded paint in
facility painting contracts.

PROBLEM AREAS
CERCLA: Odors from the adjacent low lying grounds during
periods of high water continue to present a
problem. The Charleston area experienced a 20-year
record rainfall during 1994. Will continue to
monitor as part of the remedial agreement.
Investigation of east/west lateral plumes has been
completed. Remedial alternatives are expected in
1995.
ACTION NEEDED
CERCLA: Continue remediation project and incorporate
remedial efforts on new contamination found as a
result of the lateral plume study.

PARRIS ISLAND MARINE CORPS RECRUIT DEPOT
Beaufort, South Carolina
The USMC Marine Corps Recruit Depot (MCRD) is located on Parris Island and
several smaller islands located approximately 4 miles south of the City
of Beaufort, South Carolina. The primary activity at MCRD is the training
of Marine Corps recruits. The facility covers more than 8,000 acres,
including more than 4,000 acres of salt marsh and tidal streams.
Numerous potentially hazardous waste sites have been identified at the
facility. The Inci"erator Landfill and the Borrow Pit Landfill are
located on Horse Island. The unlined Causeway Landfill was constructed
across Ribbon Creek, a tidal stream and marsh between Parris Island and
Horse Island. Wastes known to be disposed in landfills at MCRD include
empty pesticide containers, oil contaminated with polvchlorinated
biphenyis (PCBs), and mercury amalgam. In addition, from 1950 until 1978,
rinse waters from pesticide application containers and equipment were
disposed in a dirt or grassy area (Pesticide Rinsate Disposal Area)
located between Quonset huts N282 and N277 .
MCRD conducted an Initial Assessment Study (IAS) in 1986. Of the 16 areas
evaluated during the IAS, 6 were recommended for further confirmation
studies.
In February and March 1988, MCRD conducted sampling activities at the
facility as part of the Remedial Investigation Verification Step.
Mercury, lead, and other inorganic ar.alytes were detected in surface water
and sediment samples collected from, the streams and marshland located
adjacent to the Causeway Landfill.
In 199j , EPA conducted an Expanded Site Inspection at the Causeway
Landfill: Numerous organic analyt>=s, including PCB-1254 , were detected in
tissue samples from oysters collected from the tidal waters located
adjacent to the Causeway Landfill. The average concentrations of several
organic analytes in oyster tissue samples collected were higher for
samples from an impoundment on the northeast side of the Causeway Landfill
than for samples collected from the southwest side.
A release was documented based or. evidence that hazardous substances were
deposited directly into Ribbon Cr^ek and adj?cent tidal marshes. The
presence of hazardous constituents in surface watc»rf sediment, and .tissue
samples collected from Ribbon Creek, .adjacent to the Causeway Landfill,
demonstrate adverse effects associated with the release to surface water.
Surface water runoff from MCRD enters salt marshes and streams which
surroi_::l Parris Islar.d. Se-vrrc.l b~d:es cc *."tcr ",rca^.d within 15 miles
downstream of MCRD, including the Cau-.TT--y T--dfi.il impoundment and the
Broad River, are used for fishing, .en.iv? ? stv arir.e wetlands and
nesting areas for the loggerhead turtle are present within 15 miles
downstrsa.il cf MCRD.
All residents within 4 miles of the scur" ?.ce?~ normally obtain drinking
water from the Beaufcrt-per Water and Sewer Authority (BJWSA). BTWSA
obtains water from a surface water intake located on the Savannah River
which Is not affected by runoff from the facility.

Environmental Restoration
DOE uses the term environmental restoration to
refer to the assessment and cleanup of inactive
waste disposal sites. With the application of
innovative technology, the Environmental
Restoration Division at SRS is testing and
demonstrating bioremediation, air strippers, and
horizontal wells to remediate contaminated
groundwater. SRS has cleaned more than 1.7 billion
gallons of contaminated groundwater and removed
more than 300,000 pounds of solvent in the A/M
area. In the past six years, SRS has successfully
remediated and closed six waste units, totaling
over eighty acres.

AIR: SRS is in compliance. SRS is considered a "Major
Source" under one perir.it number, 0030-0041.
Individual sources consist of both major and minor
source?;. All area operating permits were renewed
(5 ye~r rsr.awctl) ^nder permit number 0080-0041. On
April 14, 1594, the SRS was officially notified by
SCDHEC that the -,ite will be required to submit a
Title V Operating Air Permit application by
November 15, 1995. The air permit application is
beipc required as a result of the Clean Air Act
amendments of 1990. SRS sources (point or
fugitive) vill be required to be: included in the
sitf iii permit application if there is the
"poter.t io.1 .c emit.' any of the listed Hazardous A^r
Pollutants or any Criteria Pollutant. It is
anticipated that SRS will need to submit
information on about 13,400 sources and detailed
permit applications on about 300 sources. The
South Carol_na Department of Health and
Environmental Control (SCDHEC) conducted a sitewide
annual air compliance inspection of SRS's 17 5
permitted air emission sources in April 1994. The
inspection yielded one deficiency for two
unpermitted sources.
367
-------
A Notice of Violation (NOV) was received from
SCDHEC on July 27, 1994, for unpermitted sources
identified during annual inspections and for failed
sulfur dioxide (S02) emissions from a D-Area boiler
stack test. SRS undertook an inventory and review
of all SRS storage tanks for applicability of the
permitting requirements. Permit applications were
submitted for the unpermitted sources. The S02
emission rate was calculated based on the
laboratory analysis of the sulfur content from coal
samples. High sulfur coal supply was corrected.
SRS submitted test results frcm a blend of high
sulfur and low sulfur coal that resulted in
satisfactory S02 emissions below the permitted
level. A Settlement Agreement 94-133-A was issued
by SCDHEC on December 5, 1994.
SRS uses various chemicals in SRS operations. Some
of the chemicals are listed as toxic air pollutants
and hazardous air pollutants. As required by
SCDHEC Regulation 61-62.5, Standard 8 (toxic air
pollutants), SRS completed and submitted an air
emission inventory and air dispersion modeling data
for all site sources in March, 1994. The submitted
data demonstrated compliance by computer modeling
the accumulated ambient concentration of individual
toxic air pollutants at the property line and
comparing them to the Standard 8 maximum allowable
concentrations.
SRS is also in compliance with radionuclide
emissions relative to its NESHAP FFCA. All
milestones under the FFCA have been completed on
schedule. The first amendment to the FFCA for
Radionuclide NESHAP was signed by EPA-IV on August
16, 1993. The amendment provides SRS with an
extension to the original FFCA through February 10,
1995,- in order to accomplish monitoring and/or
sampling system upgrades to four additional SRS
emission sources.
SRS is in compliance with asbestos removal and
disposal regulations. Asbestos is removed during
maintenance and renovations of equipment and
buildings. During 19S4, SRS removed 18,553 linear
feet and 7,556 square feet of asbestos pipe and
surface insulation. An additional' 115,323 square
feet of transite panel, which contains asbestos,
also was removed. It is estimated that 26 percent
of the friable asbestos form that can be crumbled
or pulverized with hand pressure when dry has been
removed from the site since a program of removal
was begun in 1988. The site will continue to
-------
Page 4
SRS, SC
identify and remove such asbestos according to
state (SCDHEC R.61-86.1) and federal (40 CFR 61,
Subpart M) regulations and best management
practices. A Notice of Violation (NOV) was
received from SCDHEC on August 19, 1994, for lack
of notification to the state for small demolition
projects. Corrective actions have been completed
by SRS.
WATER: The SRS drinking v/ater supply is from ground water
sources. Thirteen (13) of the 28 domestic water
systems onsite are classified as non-community non-
transient (NCNT) systems and, as such, are
regulated by SCDHEC. The remaining 15 systems have
been classified as state systems by SCDHEC and
receive a lesser degree of regulatory oversight.
Generally, water treatment for all systems consists
. of chlorination and pH adjustment. Several systems
have polyphosphate for corrosion control and/or
iron sequestration, and 2 areas have iron
filtration systems.
A report describing SRS domestic water system
consolidation was approved by SCDHEC on 5/24/93.
The report recommended the consolidation of 11
large domestic water systems to 3 systems through
the installation of 3 elevated storage tanks, a new
chemical treatment facility, and looped
distribution piping. SCDHEC also approved the
project schedule, which is presently due for
completion by 9/97. The upgrades associated with
this project replace those previously approved for
SCDHEC in 1991.
WASTEWATER: SRS is in compliance with wastewater regulations.
SRS has five NPDES permits: two for industrial
wastewater discharge (SC0000175 and SC0044903) ;
two for general storm water discharge (SCROOOOOO
and SCR100000) ; and one Land Application Permit ND
0072125. During 1994, permit SC0000175 regulated
76 NPDES outfalls and permit SC0044903 regulated
seven additional NPDES outfalls at SRS. Of these 83
industrial wastewater outfalls, 67 discharged
(operated) during 1994, 10 did not discharge, and
six were net in .u-irvi-ia . All the operational
outfalls were r> amp led, while the 10 that were not
in operation continued to be monitored. All
analytical results, including those that indicated
zero discharges at the 10 non operational outfalls,
were reported to SCDHEC in the monthly discharge
monitoring reports, per the NPDES permit

requirements. NPDES permit compliance at SRS has
steadily improved during the past 10 years. In
October 1994, SCDHEC personnel conducted a two-week
audit of SRS wastewater facilities and found one
exceedance. The compliance rate for 1994 was 99.9
percent, based on over 8,000 analyses. SRS reported
that nine analyses exceeded NPDES permit limits.
SRS received a Notice of Violation from SCDHEC in
September 1994, for past exceedances of the
trichloroethylene (TCE) effluent limitations at
Outfall A-005. Corrective actions have been taken
by SRS.
Forty-eight stormwater-only point sources are
covered under general permit SCROOOOOO for
storir.vater discharges associated with industrial
activity, excluding construction activity.
As required by the general permit, a pollution
prevention plan was developed and implemented for
the identified stormwater outfalls. The plan
identifies facility areas where best management
practices ar.d/cr best available technology should
be implemented to prevent or mitigate the release
of pollutants with stormwater runoff.
All construction activity which will result in a
land disturbance of five or more acres total land
area is required to be permitted. Currently, there
are six land areas associated with construction
activity which meet the permitting limits.These are
permitted under the SRS general permit SCR100000.
The pollution prevention plan for permit SCR100000
also requires a sediment reduction and erosion
contro: plan.

monitored for leaks and records must be kept for
inventory control. Of the 38 petroleum storage
tanks, 14 meet the new tank standards. Eleven old
tanks were removed or replaced during 1994. The 13
remaining tanks are to be upgraded, replaced, or
abandoned to meet the December 22, 1998, deadline.
USTs not meeting the new tank standards are being
monitored for releases by performing monthly
inventory and annual tightness testing, as required
by regulation. In 1994, tightness testing was
performed on 15 tanks as required by SCDHEC
regulations. All pressurized piping related to
USTs have been tightness tested.
RCRA: SRS has hazardous waste management units that are
subject to either interim or final status
regulations under RCRA Sections 3004 and 3005. SRS
submitted an original Part A Application to SCDHEC
in 1979. In addition, Part B Permit Applications
have been submitted to SCDHEC and EPA. On
September 30, 1987, SCDHEC issued a permit (RCRA
Permit #SC1890008989) that granted final status
(Part B) to four hazardous waste storage buildings
and approved the post-closure plan for the M-Area
Settling Basin and vicinity. On September 30,
1992, SCDHEC modified the permit to add the
Consolidated Incineration Facility and the F/H Area
Hazardous Waste Management facilities. In January,
1993, construction was started on the Consolidated
Incineration Facility.
The March 19 91 Federal Facility Compliance
Agreement, amended April 1992 and April 1993, is a
compliance document between DOE ana EPA. The
agreement addresses Land Disposal Restrictions
(LDR) compliance involving solvents, California-
list waste, and "Thirds" Mixed Wastes. Schedules
have been agreed upon within the document to
provide compliance through construction and
operation of treatment facilities. Additional
waste management conditions are mandated for the
storage of LDR mixed wastes. On June 20, 1994, the
LDR FFCA Bridging Amendment was executed by EPA.
The revised agreement allows for alignment with the
Site Treatment Plan
-------
Page 7
SRS,SC
Act of 1992, SRS prepared the Mixed Waste Inventory
Report, a listing of mixed waste generated at SRS
or projected for generation in the next five years.
The report was submitted in April 1993 and will be
updated regularly. SRS has developed and .used the
1st and 2nd phases of the Site Treatment Plan. The
Conceptual Site Treatment Plan (CSTP) was submitted
to State and Federal officials and others in
October 1993 and the Draft Site Treatment Plan in
August, 1994. SRS is currently developing the
proposed Site Treatment Plan which is due to State
and Federal officials by March, 1995. The proposed
Site Treatment Plan will be the basis for the
preparation of a compliance order with South
Carolina. To avoid possible fines and penalties
under the FFCAct, the order must be in place by
October 6, 1995.
The hazardous waste permit issued to SRS in
September 1987 requires that the site institute a
program for investigating solid waste management
units. The RCRA Facility Investigation program in
the permit mandates the investigation and
remediation (if necessary) of contamination caused
by releases of hazardous waste/constituents from
solid waste management units at the site.
The RCRA Facility Investigation Program Plan was
expanded in 1992 to address CERCLA hazardous
substances and was renamed the RCRA Facility
Investigation/Remedial Investigation Program Plan.
The integration of RCRA and CERCLA regulatory
requirements provides a more cost effective and
focused investigation and remediation process.
CERCLA: In accordance with Section 120 of CERCLA, DOE, EPA
Region IV, and SCDHEC entered into a Federal
Facility Agreement (FFA) f wnich was executed by the
three parties January 15, 1993, and declared
effective by EPA Region IV August 16, 1993. The
FFA, which sets the terms of environmental
remediation at SRS, coordinates site cleanup
activities into one comprehensive strategy. There
are 125 units at SRS identified in the FFA that are
scheduled for investigation and remediation, if
necessary, under the terms of the agreement.
The FFA also identifies more than 300 onsite
locations being evaluated to determine if they are
subject to the integrated RCRA/CERCLA process. All
SRS releases to the environment, including those
372
-------
Page 8
SRS, SC
from the identified RCRA/CERCLA units, must be
evaluated under the FFA. Work plans detailing the
proposed investigations for the RCRA/CERCLA units
must be approved by both EPA and SCDHEC prior to
implementation. During 1994, nine field starts
were initiated in accordance with approved work
plans and the FFA Appendix E schedule. Site
evaluation reports for 24 areas were submitted to
EPA/SCDHEC during 1994.
Proposed Plans and Records of Decision issued in
1994 documented the RCRA closure of both Tank 105-C
and the Mixed Waste Management Facility (MWMF) . An
Interim Action Proposed Plan and Record of Decision
were issued for the TNX Ground Water Operable Unit
in 1994. The Par Pond Interim Action Proposed Plan
was approved and the Interim Action Par Pond Record
of Decision is expected to be issued in 1995.
An SRS Public Involvement Plan (PIP) has been
designed to facilitate public involvement in
decision making processes for permitting, closure,
and the selection of remedial alternatives. The
PIP addresses the requirements of CERCLA, RCRA, and
NEPA. Information repositories have been
established at DOE's Public Reading Room located at
the University of South Carolina campus in Aiken
and at the University of South Carolina campus in
Columbia, South Carolina.
TOXICS: SRS uses various chemicals identified as toxic or
hazardous air pollutants. These include many
common consumer products-off-the-shelf bug sprays,
correction fluids, paints, sealers, janitorial
cleaning supplies, gasoline for vehicles, etc., as
well as a number of typical industrial chemicals,
such as d^greasers, solvents, metals, batteries,
diesol fy?. etc. Under Section 312 of EPCRA, SRS
completes sn annua] Tier II Inventory Report for
all hazardous chemicals stored or used in excess of
specified quantities. Hazardous chemical storage
information is submitted to state and local
authoriti.es by March 1 for the previous calendar
year. In addition, under Section 313 of EPCRA. SRS
files a Toxic Chemical Release Inventory (TRI)
report annually by July 1. SRS calculates chemical
releases to the environment and reports aggregate
quantities for each regulated chemical that exceeds
established threshold amounts. In 1994, SRS
submitted the annual Toxic Chemical Release
Inventory Report that listed ten chemicals meeting
release reporting requirements. SRS is initiating
373
-------
Page 9
SRS, SC
source reduction programs to reduce the use of
toxic chemicals.
SRS has PCBs in site transformers, small
capacitors, and fluorescent light ballasts. Such
PCBs are managed in compliance with TSCA, DOE
orders, and WSRC-policies. Disposal of PCBs from
SRS is done at .EPA-approved disposal facilities
within the regulatory time frame. In addition, SRS
has some PCBs-radioactively contaminated during a
spill that have been stored onsite since 1977 .
TSCA regulations call for annual disposal of PCB
waste, but there is insufficient capacity for
disposal of radioactive PCB waste. In a continuing
effort to address this problem, SRS has identified
a vendor dechlorination treatment which potentially
could render the waste non-PCB. In July, 1994, SRS
requested permission from EPA Region IV to conduct
a treatability study on the waste. EPA has not yet
made a decision on the proposal. The waste was
shipped to the vendor on February 2, 1995 for
characterization only.
POLLUTION PREVENTION:
A Waste Minimization and Pollution Prevention
Awareness Plan was developed and implemented. The
plan is modified annually and transmitted from DOE
t.c EPA, in conjunction with an annual waste
mir.imize.tion accomplishment report required by the
LDR-FFCA,' A Pollution Prevention Program includes
the development of an annual Hazardous Waste
Minimization Report which is submitted to 3CDHEC by
January 20. A statewide report is then compiled by
SCDHEC and forwarded to EPA biennially. DOE has
directed the development and implementation of a
waste minimization-reduction program addressing
radi;active, mixed, hazardous wastes, and non-
hazardous waste. DOE-HQ also requires DOE-SR to
submit an annual Waste Reduction Report by March of
each year for the previous year's accomplishments.
This report was submitted to DOE-HQ in March 1994
for calendar year 1993.
The SRS Waste Minimization Program, a comprehensive
plan to minimize waste from all SRS' operations, is
designed to meet the requirements of RCRA, of DOE
orders, and of applicable executive orders. The
program focuses mainly cn source reduction, on
recycling, and on increasing employee awareness of
and participation in waste minimization. Source
reduction opportunities are identified through
374
-------
Page 10
SRS, SC
formal facility process waste assessments and
through informal reviews of facility operations and
activities. Process waste assessments, conducted by
all major waste generators, identify and prioritize
key areas for eliminating waste. They are
supplemented by additional efforts to eliminate
hazardous materials through improved housekeeping
and maintenance practices, chemical inventory
controls, and identification of nonhazardous
alternatives. Typical source reduction programs
include reduction of Radiological Controlled Area
size; improved labeling and consolidation of
maintenance materials; and replacement of
chlorof1uorocarbon (CFC)-based automotive
maintenance cleaners with nonhazardous, CFC-free
products. Waste reduction is reported annually to
state ana federal agencies. SRS has an aggressive
program to recycle and reuse excess/waste
materials. The site continually seeks to identify
new materials for inclusion in the program, which
includes the recycling of materials such as
computer toner cartridges, office and computer
paper, antifreeze, tires, furniture, construction
chemicals, metals, paint solvents, aluminum cans,
oil, lead, treated lumber, and wood pallets. An
affirmative procurement program to purchase
products made from recycled materials is also being
implemented at SRS.
ENVIRONMENTAL AUDIT;
Three comprehensive compliance audits were
performed by SCDHEC during 1994. SCDHEC also
performed numerous regulatory compliance
inspections throughout 1994.
During April 18 - 21, 1394, SCDHEC conducted the
Annual Air Compliance Inspections for 46 of SRS's
175 permitted air emission sources. The
insc =cti o.is consisted of the observaiJLo.i of visible
emissions (opacity), review of diesei logbooks for
hours of operations, and a review of general source
compliance with the operating or construction
permit requirements. During the inspections, two
potential sources of air emissions were identified
which had beer, constructed without proper SCDHEC
Bureau or Air Quality Control construction permits.
Air quality control permit applications for the
diesei fuel oil storage tanks were submitted to
SCDHEC on May 20, 1994.
During April 18 - 29, 1994 representatives of the
375
-------
Page 11
SRS, SC
South Carolina Department of Health and
Environmental Control (SCDHEC) conducted the 1994
Comprehensive Monitoring Evaluation (CME) for
compliance with hazardous waste management
regulations at the Savannah River Site (SRS). The
inspection yielded some deficiencies which were
corrected.
During October 1C - October 21, 1994, the SCDHEC
performed their annual operation and maintenance
inspections at SRS' wastewater treatment facilities
and collected grab samples and composite samples at
SRS' NPDES discharge points. SCDHEC reported that
the wastewater treatment facilities were found to
be well maintained. While sampling SRS NPDES
discharge points, an exceedance of the total
suspended solids limit was observed during a rain
storm at one outfall. The condition has been
corrected.

Superfund Hazardous Waste Site Listed Under The
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act
(CERCLA) as amended in 1986
SAVANNAH RIVER SITE (USDOE)
Aiken, South Carolina
The Savannah River Site (SRS), formerly known as the Savannah River
Plant, has produced nuclear materials for national defense on
a 192,000-ace site near Aiken, in Aiken, Allendale, and Barnwell Counties,
South Carolina, since 1951. First operated by the Atomic Energy Commission,
it is now operated by the U.S. Department of Energy (USDOE). The area around
SRS is heavily wooded and ranges from dry hilltops to swampland.
SRS operations generate a variety of radioactive, nonradioactive, and
mixed (radioactive and nonradioactive hazardous wastes. Past and present
disposal practices include seepage basins for liquids, pits and piles for
solids, and landfills for low-level radioactive wastes.
According to a 1987 USDOE report, shallow ground water on various parts
of the site has been contaminated with volatile organic compounds (degreasing
solvents), heavy metals (lead, chromium, mercury, and cadium), radionuclides
(tritium, uranium, fission products, and plutonium), and other miscellaneous
chemicals (e.g., nitrates).
Contamination has been found in the A-Area Burning/Rubble Pit, where
degreasers and solvents were deposited during 1951-73. In 1985,
trichloroethylene (TCE) was detected in nearby monitoring wells. Soil in the
A-Area Miscellaneous Chemical Basin, which reportedly received drums of waste
solvents, also contains TCE. The 3,200 residents of Jackson, South Carolina,
receive drinking water from wells within 3 miles of hazardous substances on
SRS.
A small quantity of depleted uranium was released in January 1984 into
Upper Three Runs Creek, according to USDOE. The creek and all other surface
water from SRS flow into the Savannah River, which is a major navigable river
and forms the southern border between South Carolina and Georgia. Along the
banks of the river is a 10,000-acre wetland known as the Savannah River
Swamp. A March 1987 USDOE report indicates the swamp is contaminated with
chromium, mercury, radium, thorium, and uranium, which overflowed from an old
seepage basin.
USDOE is investigating SRS under its Comprehensive Environmental
Assessment and Response Program. Under the program, USDOE is developing
plans for studying several contaminated areas. Also USDOE will close some
areas on SRS and conduct postclosure monitoring under a permit issued under
Subtitle C of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act.

COMPLIANCE STATUS
AIR: In compliance. AEDC presently has 33 Air Pollution
Control Permits issued by the TDEC. Annual
inspection was conducted Dec.5, '94. AEDC has
completed field work in preparation for obtaining
Title V permits. An emissions inventory of all
potential sources will be completed in April '95.
AEDC has initiated a number of projects to manage
existing Ozone Depleting Chemical (ODC) resources
and equipment. Projects totaling $1.8 million will
be executed this fiscal year to replace chillers,
install purge units, and repair leaks. There are
projects totaling $318,000 in FY 96 and $7.7
million in FY 97 to upgrade, convert, or replace
refrigerant systems which are essential for AEDC's
engine testing mission.
WATER: In compliance. The main base is served by the AEDC
Water Treatment Plant under PWS ID #0004408. A
sanitary survey was conducted by TDEC on JUn.
15,'31 and cne system was rated "Approved." Water
supplied co the iiiain base is supplied from Woods
Reservoir and is pretreated through conventional
alum coagulation, settling, rapid sand filtration
and chlorination. An AEDC Water Treatment Plant
Laboratory Survey was conducted by the state in
Nov.,'94 relating to the microbiological
certification program. The state granted Interim
Certification until recommendations are
implemented. Recommendations included improvements
to analytical methodologies and the development and
implementation of a quality control/ assurance
program.

The pocable water distribution system at Arnold
Village (military housing) is serviced by the City
of Estill Springs. A sanitary survey of the
distribution system at Arnold Village was conducted
by the state on Jun 15,'94 and the system was rated
"Approved". Lead action levels were exceeded in 4
of 10 residences during the lead and copper control
study performed at Arnold Village in Dec.,'93. As
a result, AEDC implemented the required (1) public
notification, (2) water quality sampling, (3)
materials evaluation, and (4) interim flushing
procedures. The City of Estill Springs, TN began
adding corrosion inhibitor in Mar.,'94. No lead or
copper level3 were met at Arnold Village in the
lead and copper control study performed in Jun.,'94
and Nov.,'94. As a result, AEDC requested reduced
monitoring (frequency and number of sites) in a
letter to TDEC dated Nov. 18,'94.
Potable water at the AEDC Golf Course is supplied
by groundwater wells under PWS ID #0004409 and
chlorinated before use. The last survey was
performed Jun. 15,'94 by the State of Tennessee and
rated it "Approved".
Potable water at the TNARNG Rifle Range is supplied
by a groundwater well under PWs ID #0004484 and
chlorinated before use. The last survey was
conducted Jun.15,;94 by the State and the system
was rated "Approved". Note: Operation of the
potable water system at Rifle Range is the
responsibility of TNARNG.
WASTE WATER: Partial compliance. NPDES permit TV0003751 covers
industrial and 2 sanitary waste water outfalls.
The revised NPDE3 permit became effective on Oct
1,'92. A waste water inspection was conducted by
TDEC on Sep.13,'94.
Sowland/Roil^ns Creek Outfall #001 is in partial
compliance. Discharges through the outfall include
contact and non-contact cooling water, sanitary and
industrial waste water and storm water. Excursions
of total iron, lead and copper have occurred.
Metal excursions have been traced to the
accumulation of sediment with high metals content
in the cooling water return ditch discharging to
Rowland Creek. Cooling water pumped from the base
cooling water source, Woods reservoir, contains
386
-------
Page 3
Arnold Engineering Development Center, TN.
large amounts of sediment. Iron content of the
sediment was measured as high a 25,000 ppm. Once
transported to the cooling water return ditch, the
sediment settled out when shear gates in the ditch
were used to divert cooling water flow to a
temperature control reservoir. Highly variable and
large volume flow rates (0-250,000 gpm) re-suspend
the sediment in the ditch causing the total
recoverable metals excursions. TDEC issued a
Commissioner's Order on Aug.1,'94 citing non-
compliance with permitted total copper, lead, and
iron limits. AEDC submitted a response to the
Commissioner's Order on Oct.4,'94 detailing a
corrective action plan for resolving total iron,
copper and lead excursions. The corrective action
plan included the following: the contracting of a
waste water consultant to study the metals problem
and develop corrective action recommendations,
review the waste water consultant's recommendations
and submit the AEDC corrective action plan to TDEC
by Feb. 21,'95 and meet with TDEC to discuss the
corrective action plan. AEDC plans to dredge
accumulated sediment from the cooling water return
drainage ditch to resolve metals excursions caused
by the re-suspended sediment. Other corrective
actions taken to date have reduced the number of
total metals excursions at the Rowland Ditch by 7 5%
from 1993 to 1994.
Bradley Creek Outfall 002 is currently in partial
compliance with respect to pH. Discharges through
outfall 002 include cooling water, industrial waste
water and storm water. A Commissioner's Order from
TDEC was issued to AEDC on Aug. 5,'94 detailing
excursions outside the permitted pH limits of 6.5
and 8.5. Replacing the monitoring instrumentation
in Oct.,'93 resolved the pH excursions below the
6.5 limit. A waste water consultant completed a
study in Jan.,'95 on Bradley Creek identifying the
source of the high pH excursions. The study
concludes the high pH shifts are the result of
naturally occurring phenomena and not process
related. The pH shifts are caused by native
aquatic macrophytes (primarily Southern Naiad). On
Feb. 21,'95 we submitted a copy of the report to
TDEC with a request that TDEC raise AEDC NPDES
permit pH limit.
UST: in compliance. AEDC currently has 4 regulated USTs

permitted under permit # TN 0-160039. Three
regulated tanks equipped with automatic leak
detection are used for fuel dispensing at the base
motor pool. The remaining tank was upgraded and
leak tested in Oct.,'91 and is used for storage of
emergency generator fuel.
RCRA: In compliance. AEDC received a HSWA Part B permit
on Nov.28,'94. The facility is fully permitted(EPA
ID #8570024044). Arnold submitted a Subpart X
application for thermal treatment of explosives in
Oct.,'94 and is awaiting TDEC response. A CAMP is
being developed to schedule all SWMUs for
corrective actions. This plan will be finalized by
the end of Feb.,'95.
A groundwater pump and treatment system began
operations in Sep.,'94 at site LF-1 to contain
groundwater contaminant plume and to remove VOCs.
A final cap will be designed in 1995 as a final
action for the landfill.
Three long torn compliance monitoring programs are
currently under state and EPA review. Sites LF-1,
LF-3, and FT-10 will be monitored for a variety of
contaminants to determine any impacts on
groundwater quality. Installation and first round
sampling will begin in 1995.
An RFI of the main test area (13 SWMUs) was
completed in 1994 and a detailed final report is
due for release in early May,'95. A confirmatory
sampling of the Camp Forrest area was completed in
Jan.,'95. A draft report should be produced this
year. A final report of the base wide background
sampling program was completed in 1994.
Three interim corrective measures (ICM) will be
completed in '95. An ICM to excavate and remove
contaminated soil at SWMU 10 will begin Mar.-
Apr.,'95. Low temperature thermal desorption was
selected as the preferred alternative to eliminate
the VOCs contained in the soil. A water removal
and treatment action will begin in Mar.,'95 at SWMU
8 (an old waste water treatment facility). The
third ICM involves the excavation and biological
treatment of soils contaminated with petroleum
hydrocarbons from an under ground fuel line leak
within the main test area, SWMU 74. This ICM will

begin Apr-May,'95.
The latest RCRA facility inspection was conducted
by TDEC on Feb.28,'95 with no violations cited.
There are 3 active landfills at AEDC which are
permitted by the state. One an asbestos landfill
(permit number IDL-16-102-0146), and a new
asbestos landfill (permit number IDL-16-102-0081)
which opened Mar.1,'94. Both are class II
landfills. The third landfill is a class IV
construction landfill (permit number DML-16-102-
0027). AEDC received a fine of $3,900 by TDEC in
Dec.,'94 for improper waste disposal of waste in
the construction landfill. No violations have

All 3 landfills were inspected by TDEC Solid Waste
field office on Dec.20,'94 and were in compliance.
CERCLA: Arnold Air station is not an NPL site and is
operating under a full Part B RCRA permit and is
complying with the requirements of RCRA as the
primary regulatory source and not CERCLA. Arnold
is currently proposed for the NPL and is awaiting
EPA's final decision.
TOXICS: In compliance. A survey of all pole mounted
transformers has been completed. All pole mounted
transformers with greater than 10 ppm have been
removed from service and replaced with PCB-free
transf ormers. A survey of all pad-mounted
transformers has been completed. A management plan
has been develoDed for pad mounted transformers
containing >50ppm PCB. This plan calls for
monitoring, replacement, or disposal, depending on
PCB concentration and transformer life expectancy.
All pad mounted PCB contaminated transformers were
removed from service in FY 94. Recently, PCB

POLLUTION PREVENTION
AEDC has initiated a proactive pollution prevention
program designed to comply with the Pollution
Prevention Act of 1990, reduce the use and release
of hazardous substances, reduce solid waste,

increase awareness of recycling and purchase of
recycled products. In support of this program,
AEDC has developed a management plan to achieve
goals for hazardous materials reduction, recycling/
reuse and pollution prevention education. Formal
pollution prevention opportunity assessments are
underway to identify reduction actions for the
management plan.
Hazardous material usage at AEDC has been reduced
due to implementation of the pharmacy concept, an
active " substitution program and implementation of
specific reduction actions outlined in EPA
17/V0C/0DC sections of the AEDC Pollution
Prevention Management Plan. Current reduction
actions include: close out of the perchlorothylene
vapor degreaser, discontinued use of lead based
paint, active substitution of 1, 1, 1
trichloroethane, and in process recycling of acid
at chemical cleaning.
A base wide pollution prevention education program
has been developed to promote awareness and educate
personnel on the importance of pollution
prevention. The training presents a broad overview
of pollution prevention activities, what specific
goals have been established and the role cf
employees in meeting these goals. The basewide
training program was started in early Feb.,'95.
A base qualified recycling program has been
developed. Phase I recycling program will begin in
FY 95. Phase I materials include cardboard, paper,
and scrap metal. Phase II Implementation includes
collection of glass and plastic. Current efforts
in recycling include recycling waste oil, paper
and fuel as an energy source.
AEDC has established an ODC center to manage all
ODC resources. The center issues refrigerants
needed by certified technicians, insures? individual
systems do not exceed regulatory leak rates,
manages recovery machines, and maintains a daily
inventory of refrigerant stocks.
Opportunity assessments have been completed and are
underway to eliminate or significantly reduce toxic
chemical use at AEDC and to reduce/recycle 2 5% more
of its solid waste generated yearly. Materials to

Air Force Materiel Command continues to accelerate
the elimination of ODCs. This is a major impact on
the installation with projects planned for
replacement/ modification of ODC based systems.
A Toxicity Reduction Evaluation (TRE) is underway
to determine the source and cause for chronic
toxicity for discharges from AEDC. Uses -of
"environmentally safe" aqueous cleaners are under
scrutiny due to the aquatic toxicity they exhibit.
ACTION NEEDED

UST: In compliance, DDMT has two permitted under ground
storage tanks. All non-regulated USTs either have
been removed or closed in place.
RCRA: DDMT was issued a Part B permit on Sep. 28,'90.
The permit was predicated on the construction of a
new Conforming Storage Facility. However, because
of delays in the new building's design and a change
in the lead agency's thinking on the need for such
a facility, DDMT modified Bldg 319 to meet Memphis
Fire Department, NFPA and OSHA requirements. The
decision to modify this existing building was made
after discussions with TDEC who actively encouraged
DDMT to vacate Bldg. 308 (the permitted facility)
due to generally unsafe condition of the building.
DDMT plans to request modification to their Part B
permit this fiscal year for permission to store
hazardous wastes for up to one year in Building
319.
DDMT was inspected by TDEC on Aug. 4,'94. The
depot was issued a NOV dated Sep. 6, '94 for
violating the Tennessee Hazardous Waste Management
Act. Specifically, DRMO Memphis had allowed two
incompatibles to be stored too closely together.
The violation was corrected the same day and the
State was notified in writing of that fact.
CERCLA: In compliance, DDMT, EPA, Region IV, and State of
Tennessee have entered into a Federal Facilities
Agreement (FFA). The RI/FS is on schedule with
field work to begin in the summer of 1995. CH2M
Hill, the RI/FS contractor, is incorporating EPA

Contingency Plan (ISCP & SPCCP) as approved by the
State of Tennessee and DLA. All PCB contaminated
transformers were removed from service and
transferred to DRMO Memphis for disposal.
POLLUTION PREVENTION
DDMT has¦initiated several actions in response to
our challenge to be in total compliance with
federal, state and local environmental laws and
regulations.
DDMT issued a Hazardous Material/Waste Management
Plan which established policy and procedures to
ensure that hazardous materials/ hazardous wastes
are properly collected, stored, turned-in and
disposed of for the protection of all DDMT and
tenant personnel and the environment.
Our ISCP and SPCCP were revised and updated in
Oct.,'94 .
We recently issued a Hazardous Waste Minimization
Plan to eliminate or reduce the quantity and
toxicity of hazardous waste generated at this
installation.
In addition, we issued an Asbestos Management Plan
but will now have to be rewritten due to proposed
OSHA regulations. We also completed a Depot-wide
asbestos survey and have contracted the design of
an open end asbestos abatement contract.
A PCB Management Plan which describes policy and
procedures for sound PCB management is in the final
stages of preparation.
We received assistance from USAEHA in writing a
Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). The
plan recommends ways to eliminate/reduce pollutants
from entering the storm water sewer system.
The Depot has a full time Hazardous Material Spill
Response Team that is drawn from the recoupment
function. During a spill response training
exercise, USAEHA noted that our response was
394

excellent and that each team member contributed to
a timely, safe and effective response.
ENVIRONMENTAL AUDIT
USAEHA conducted a multi-media audit of DDMT from
April 18-23,'93. The review covered air, ground
water, potable water, waste water management and
spill plans review, hazardous and medical waste
management review and solid waste.
During Aug 15-18,'94, USAEHA-South conducted a Pest
Management Survey which included areas involving
environmental protection. Those findings that
crossed over into the environmental office area
have been addressed.
In response to a NOV received under the NPDES
permit, USACHP&PM made an assistance visit to DDMT
for the purpose of developing a Storm V7ater
Pollution Prevention Plan. With their assistance,
DDMT now has a viable and functional plan.
In June 1994 the Environmental Protection and
Safety Office at DDMT conducted a "wall to wall"
survey to identify environmental deficiencies
resulting from hazardous materials/ hazardous waste
improper1y labeled/ stored on the installation.
Flammable storage lockers were procured and set in
place to ensure the proper storage of hazardous
materi?!?. In addition, a local "property
Identification" form was developed to facilitate
the i dert.if i ra.t icn and proper turn-in of hazardous
materia"1 ' hazardous wastp.

Act of 1980 (CERCLA)(SUPERFUND)
MEMPHIS DEFENSE DEPOT
Memphis, Tennessee
Conditions at Proposal (February 7, 1992): The Memphis Defense Depot is comprised
of 6 42 acres in south central Memphis, Shelby county, Tennessee. It is located
in a mixed residential/commercial/industrial area. The site consists of two
contiguous sections: Dunn Field, an open storage and burial area of about 5 0
acres; and the main installation. The site is currently known as the 'Defense
Distribution Region Central."
In operation since 1942, the depct i3 a major field installation of the Defense
Logistics Agency. Its primary function is to provide materiel support (including
clothing, food, medical supplies, electronic equipment, petroleum products, and
industrial chemicals) to all U.S. military services and some civilian agencies.
The depot has conducted numerous operations dealing with hazardous
substances.
A total of 75 waste disposal areas and other areas of concern have been identified
at the facility, most of them in Dunn Field. Among the wastes disposed of,
according to the Department of Defense (DOD), are oil, grease, paints, paint
thinners, methyl bromide, and pesticides. In addition, stored materials have
reportedly spilled and leaked at the mam installation, as well as at Dunn Field,
contaminating soil with volatile organic compounds, metals, ?CBS, polynuclear
aromatic hydrocarbons, and
pesticides.
Shallow ground water is contaminated with arsenic, lead, chromium, nickel,
tetrachloroethene, and trichloroethane, ar-cording to tests conducted in 19 89 by
DOD. An estimated 154,300 people obtain drinking wacer from punlic ana private
wells within 4 miles of the site. The nearest well, '«i:nir. 0.5 nine of hazardous
substances at the depot, also prcvides water for commercial food production.
These wells draw from' deeper ground water, which is not row contaminated.
There was recreational fishing on Lake Danielson, a 4-acre man-made lake on the
facility, until 1986, when DOD tests found pesticides (DDD,DDE, dieldrin, and
chiordar.q) and PCBs in lake sedurent and fish tissue. The tests also found
cadmium, chromium, lead, and -zinc in lake sediments.
In August 1990, the depot submitted the results of a 2-year environmental study
to EPA. As a result of that study, 2?A requested that tne depot complete its
study characterizing contamination at the uepot, ar.d take interim measures to
expedite cleanup of a plume .if conta:::ir.ated ground * iter underneitr. a portion of

The next command inspection is scheduled for
Sep., '95.
PROBLEM AREAS
WASTE WATER: Groundwater in the vicinity of Sodium Nitrate
storage Ponds 3 & 4 show high levels of sodium and
nitrates. Pond 4 was demolished in late 1994 with
State concurrence. Pond 3 (with synthetic liner)
currently holds the remaining inventory of sodium
nitrate which should be depleted by Apr. 30,'95.
demolition of this pond is planned to be completed
by Aug. 31,'95. Groundwater contamination has been
thoroughly delineated; a risk assessment is being
performed to determine if site conditions pose an
unacceptable risk to human health or the
environment. The corrective action options, if
needed, will be reviewed with the State upon final
results of the investigation.
RCRA: Clean Closure Equivalency Demonstration submitted
to EPA for the Nitric Acid Equalization Basin on
Sept.15'92. In 1993 AEHA installed monitoring
wells in the vicinity of where the solvent burn
tanks operated at the Burning Ground to attempt
demonstration of clean closure equivalency. Clean
closure was not achieved at the site. A post-
closure permit application will be submitted after
a risk assessment and post-closure care plan have
been prepared. Funding has been approved for the
preparation of the risk assessment, post closure
care plan, and post closure care permit
application.
UST: Site investigations have been completed for
petroleum leak, discovered at Bldg. 105, Service
Station. Revised CAP/EAR was submitted to the
State on Jan. 12, '93. Approval of the Cap was
received during Feb.,'95. Remediation at Bldg 105
is scheduled to begin in Aug.,'95.
An NOV was received in Feb.,'95 for the revised EAR
at Bldg 22 due to failure to follow the correct

1993, and expires Dec. 29,'97. During 1994, a NOV
was issued by the State for exceeding the parameter
of residual chlorine discharge. Correction actions
have been implemented.
MAAP received funds from the Tennessee National
Guard to construct a sewer line with pumping
station to the facility's main sewer plant. This
construction project will allow influent from the
southern section of the installation including the
National Guard to be pumped to the installation's
main treatment facility. The installation's main
sewage treatment facility is well below influent
capacity. This will allow the treatment facility
on the southern section of the facility to be put
on standby. The project is expected to be
completed by early summer.
The treatment systems in use at MAAP are two
trickling filter sewage treatment plants, 6 pink
water treatment plants, and a coal pile runoff
treatment system. The runoff to the coal pile
treatment system has been greatly reduced by
providing cover over the coal storage area. Due to
more restrictive limits for the coal pile runoff
system, a retaining wall has been built which has
virtually eliminated storm water from coming in
contact with the stored coal. Plans are being
prepared to eliminate this treatment system.
MAAP has filed a general application under the
Storm water regulations. Storm water monitoring is
now being conducted on a quarterly basis.
UST: In compliance with RCRA Subtitle I. Currently
there are 7 regulated underground storage tanks
which meet the more stringent rules for USTs.
There are on-going efforts for removal of non-
regulated tanks which meet the same requirement as
"•egulat^d tanks .
An Environmental Assessment was conducted under the
guidelines of the State. The purpose of this
assessment was associated with a leak from below

ground transfer lines from above ground fuel oil
storage tanks. Monitoring wells were installed to
determine the horizontal and vertical extent of
contamination. Based on the groundwater and soil
analyses, the recommended course of action was to
perform periodic sampling of the groundwater as a
precautionary measure with no additional excavation
of soils to be reguired.
RCRA: The facility is in compliance with RCRA. MAAP is a
large quantity generator, treater, and storer. A
part A was submitted for the facility. A Part B
permit was issued on Sep 28 90 for the storage of
hazardous waste. The Part B was modified due to an
addition of an explosive transfer facility. The
Part B Subpart X application was submitted to the
State for review on 19 Oct.'93. A NOD was issued
based on the lack, of an adequate groundwater
monitoring plan. An amended plan was submitted
utilizing existing and newly installed monitoring
wells. The plan met the approval of the TDEC.
Subpart X permit is expected to be issued in 1996.
MAAP is in the process of constructing an
industrial landfill (IDL 2 7-101-0085). This
landfill will meet axl new landfill requirements
including leachate collection system and synthetic
liner. This landfill has been approved at 225
acres. The existing sanitary landfill (SNL 09-101-
0144) has less than 6 months of disposal life. A
closure plan has been fixed witn the State.
The last inspection of the faciiir.y was conducted
in Jan.,'95 and was notea as being in compliance.
The State's Hazardous Waste Reduction Act of 1990
nas identified a goal of 26 % reduction of all
hazardous waste generation. It is the goal of this
facility not only to achieve the 25 % reduction but
to exceed this goai. In ia92 MAAP achieved a
reduction of nearly 90 % over a 5 year span.
CERCLA: Notification filed with EPA and the State of
Tennessee. The site was placeu on the NPL list in
iS87. A Technical Review Committee was then formed
in Feb 88 to oversee the remediation of the site;
since then the IRC has been expanded and changed to
Restoration Advisory Board (RAB) emphasizing
greater public participation. A Federal Facilities
Agreement (FFA) was signed in Oct 69 between the
State, EPA and tne Army for the remediation work.
The FFA lists 11 Solid Waste Management Units
(SWMU's) for further investigation. These 11
408

SWMU's are: Current Ammunition Destruction Area,
Former Burn-out Area, Open Burning Grounds, Current
Landfill, ''B"-Line Area, Former Borrow Pit, Surface
Drainage Ditches from Production Lines, Explosive
Settling Sumps, "0"-Line Ponds, and the salvage
Yard. 3 of the 11 were investigated and removed
from this list, the current landfill, former
burnout area, and the salvage yard. All of these
sites were studied in the Remedial Investigation
Report dated Dec 91. One site, the "0"-Line Ponds
has been through a Feasibility Study for the
remediation of the groundwater which is
contaminated with explosives. A proposed plan was
generated and presented to the public on Jul 16 92
with a Record of Decision finalized on Sep 30 92.
The major components selected for remediating the
groundwater consisted of: downgradient extraction
of contaminated groundwater, on-site treatment
using electro-chemical precipitation to remove
organics, ultra violet-oxidation breakdown of the
explosive compounds and granular activated carbon
to remove any remaining explosive compounds. The
water will be reinjected upgradient of the former
ponds. The new plant cost $7 million and is
nearing completion.
A second proposed plan for remediation of soils
contaminated with explosives was generated and
presented to the public in July 1993. A Record of
Decision was signed Sep 30 93 to extend the already
existing cap over all contaminated soil. The cap
extension is currently has been designed and a
contractor has been selected. Cap extension should
be completed by fall 1995.
A third proposed plan for remediation of explosive
contaminated ground water at the Northern Boundary
of the facility identified as 003 Groundwater was
released to the public on July 1, '94. The
extraction,treatment and then re-injection of the
treated groundwater. Since the contamination has
migrated off post, the Army is pursuing purchasing
the land within the contaminated ground water area.
Additional studies are underway for the Northern
Industrial Area soils, consisting of explosive
contaminated soils from ammunition production load
manufacturing areas (load lines). A RI Report is
currently being generated; from there a Proposed
Plan identifies the various remedial actions that
are being proposed including the selected
alternative. This document will be ready for

public review in April,'95. The ROD is expected to
be approved no later than July'95. The technology
"hat appears to provide concentration reduction of
explosive as well as being most economical is
bioremediation. Composting of the soils with a
selected carbon source appears to be most
promising.
Operable Unit 4 includes RDX explosive groundwater
in the City of Milan and is the Army's number one
priority. The Army has provided the City of Milan
$9 million to construct new drinking water systems.
The present drinking system is increasingly
becoming contaminated with the explosive RDX. One
of the 3 wells has been shutdown due to exceeding
the 2ppb EPA health Advisory for RDX. As of
February, the monthly analyses of the city wells
indicated a concentration in the remaining 2 wells
no higher than .30 ppb. It has been predicted by
groundwater models that the city's remaining 2
wells will exceed the health advisory within the
next 5 years. The location of the city's new
drinking water system is located approximately 7
miles south of the existing systems, upgradient
from the contaminated groundwater. Studies are
currently ongoing to determine the remedial action
for the explosive contaminated groundwater moving
off post toward the city.
Operable Unit 4 (western Area) considers the
explosive groundwater contaminated areas located on
the western portion of the installation including
the production lines of X and A, Remedial action
anticipated will include groundwater extraction and
treatment beginning in 1997. a ROD is expected to
be approved by Sep.,'95.
In Mar.,'94 a "Time Critical Removal Action" was
cc.'.d-ctad ^ MAA? dut to soils located
adj-cent to elevated water towers indicating lead
contamination well above the criteria for hazardous
waste. The cause of the lead contamination was due
to previous sandblasting operations of these
elevated water towers. In Mar.,'94, soils, debris,
including sandblasting media and paint were
£>: javated frcm these sites. Approximately 2
million pounds of contaminated scj.1s were removed
and disposed of off site as hazardous waste. These
sites have completed an in depth investigation to
determine if the interim action conducted will
allow these sites to be listed as "no further
action" sites. Eased on the preliminary data, it

is expected that an impermeable cover will be
constructed at each one of these excavated sites.
Although the removal action removed the hazardous
waste, the chemical analyses revealed total lead at
great enough levels that could pose a threat to the
groundwater.
TOXICS: PCB materials were used at MAAP, primarily
transformers. MAAP is presently reevaluating PC3
transformers which were previously retrofilled due
to recontamination by leaching from the core into
the retrofilled oil. MAAP will be replacing all
transformers as soon as possible.
Pesticides and Herbicides are utilized on post by
certified personnel. These materials are disposed
of on-post in accordance with label instructions.
Solvents are utilized on post. Those contaminated
with explosives are open burned on-site while non-
explosive contaminated solvent is recycled or
disposed of off-site as a hazardous waste.
POLLUTION PREVENTION
A Pollution Plan will be prepared which will have a
goal of reducing all hazardous waste and non-
hazardous waste to the minimum levels economically
and technically practical and to be in full
compliance with all Federal and State waste
regulation. Reduction methods ?re expected to come
in the form of employee suggestions for further
reducing waste in their own work area and in any
other areas about which they have ideas. Also
through procurement activities, engineering
practices, total quality management, and other bona
fide reduction method? wp will do what we can to
assure that the generation of potential pollutants
are minimized.
ENVIRONMENTAL AUDIT
Environmental audits are conducted routinely by the
plant environmental offices. In Oct.,'94 and
Environmental Compliance Assessment (ECAS) was
conducted by Army Environmental Auditors that
covered 17 environmental 'nedii. No ma^or findings
were identified. The next scheduled ECAS will be
conducted in July 1995.
PROBLEM AREAS

indicate groundwater contamination by RDX and TNT
(explosives) on and off post.
Residue from the explosive RDX have been detected
in the City of Milan drinking water supply as high
as 2.5 ppb(Jan 1994). This is above the current
EPA Health Advisory of ,2.0 ppb. A contingency plan
has been developed and presented to the general
public as well as approved by the Army, the State,
EPA Region IV, and local city officials. The Army
has provided the city with the necessary funds to
build a new drinking water system. The main area
of concern is with the presently low levels of RDX
identified in the city's water system. Question
remains - will the concentrations stay below health
advisory until the new system is built?
Problems with obtaining leases to private land to
perform soil borings, installation of monitoring
wells, and construction of treatment plants. Army
is pursuing buying the land from these individuals
in order to perform groundwater cleanup.
ACTION NEEDED
Quick turnarounds (30 days) on all submissions

MILAN ARMY AMMUNITION PLANT
Milan, Tennessee
Conditions at listing (October 1984 > : The Milan Army Ammunition
Plant (AAP) in Milan, Gibson County, Tennessee, produces munitions for
the U.S. Army. The "0" Line at Milan, a conventional munition
demoblilization facility, operated from 1942 until December 1978. The
major function of the "0" Line was to remove explosives (TNT and
TNT-RDX mixtures) from munitions by injecting a high-pressure stream of
hot water and steam into the open cavity of the munitions. Effluent
from the "0" Line operations was discharged into 11 unlined settling
ponds with an estimated capacity of 5.5 million gallons. Between 1971
and 1981, sediments were routinely dredged from the ponds and stored on
the ground. In 1981, the ponds were lined, and the accumulated
sediments placed into the ponds.
Analyses of samples collected in March 1979 from on-site water
supply and monitoring wells indicated the presence of explosives and
heavy metals. Three water supply wells serving the City of Milan and
numerous private wells are located less than 3 miles from the area of
known ground water contamination. The direction of ground water flow
has not been completely determined. AAP supply wells are located
on-site. More than 13,000 people within 3 miles of the site depend on
ground water as a source of drinking water.
Milan AAP is participating in the Installation Restoration
Program, the specially funded program established in 1978 under which
the Department of Defense has been identifying and evaluating its past
hazardous waste sites and controlling the migration of hazardous
contaminants from these sites. The Army has completed Phase I (records
search), and Phase II (preliminary survey). Phase IV (remedial action)
is being undertaken to close -he 'C' Line ponds.
Status (May 193 7 , : EPA is reviewing cleanup work complete to date
to determine if it is comparable to EPA's guidance for remedial
investigations/feasibility studies and complies with the National

Superfund Hazardous Waste Site Listed Under The
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act
(CERCLA) as amended in 1986
OAK RIDGE RESERVATION (USDOE)
Oak Ridge, Tennessee
The Oak Ridge Reservation (ORR), operated by the U.S. Department
of Energy (USDOE), covers about 58,000 acres in Oak Ridge, in Anderson
and Roane Counties, Tennessee. The area around the reservation is
predominately rural except for the City of Oak Ridge (pop 28,000). ORR
consists of three major operating facilities: Oak Ridge National
Laboratory, a research lab that includes nuclear reactors, chemical
plants, a radioisotope production labs; Oak Ridge Gaseous Diffusion
Plant, a production complex engaged primarily in the enrichment of
uranium-235; and the Y-12 Plant, located immediately adjacent to the
City of Oak Ridge, which -produces nuclear weapon components, processes
nuclear materials, and performs other related functions.
ORR operations generate a variety of radioactive, nonradioactive,
and mixed (radioactive and nonradioactive) hazardous wastes, many of
which in the past were disposed of or stored on-site. Leakage from
inactive disposal and storage facilities, coupled with spills and other
accidental releases, has contaminated many areas in and around ORR.
Metals, organics, and radionuclides have been detected in ORR
soil, ground water, and surface water. At present, ground water
contamination appears confined to ORR.
A 1983 study by USDOE estimates that 7 33,000 pounds of elemental
mercury were released to the environment in the 1950s and 1960s around
the Y-12 Plant. Most of the contamination around Y-12 is confined to
the upper 10 feet of soils and fill. Additional studies revealed that
some 170,000 pounds of mercury are contained in the sediments and
floodplain of about a 15-mile length of East Fork Poplar Creek (EFPC),
which has its headwaters at Y-12, and that some 5 00 pounds of mercury
annually leave this watershed. Mercury and cesium-137 have been
detected at higher than background levels in sediments of the Tennessee
River near Chattanooga, some 118 miles downstream of ORR. Seven water
intakes in this 118-mile stretch provide drinking water to an estimated
4 3,200 people. Wetlands in the Blyth Ferry Water Fowl Management Area
are also near the 118-mile stretch of the river.
EFPC flows through the City of Oak Ridce, exposing people to
mercury-contaminated soils in the easily accessible areas of the
floodplains of the creek. USDOE has removed soil at several locations
along the creek where mercury concentrations were particularly high.
USDOE is investigating ORR under its Comprehensive Environmental
Assessment and Response Program. Under the program, USDOE is
conducting studies involving requirements of CERCLA and of permits
issued under Subtitle C of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act
(RCRA). The permits call for closing some units on ORR, conducting
postclosure monitoring, and evaluating over 500 solid waste management
units under RCRA Sections 3004(u) and (v).

MISSION: The Oak Ridge K-25 Site, formerly the Oak Ridge
Gaseous Diffusion Plant, is one of three, large
DOE facilities on the Oak.Ridge Reservation (ORR).
The production facility separated uranium-2 35 from
uranium-238 using a gaseous diffusion process.
The production of highly enriched uranium was
discontinued when the requirements for military
applications were satisfied in 1964, and the focus
changed to the production of nuclear reactor fuel.
In 1987 gaseous diffusion at the plant permanently
ended. Since then, the role of the plant has
changed from enrichment to research, technology
and information systems development,
decontamination and decommissioning activities,
and waste management.
Currently, the K-25 Site serves as the center of
operations for Martin Marietta Energy Systems,
Inc. (Energy Systems), Environmental Management
and Enrichment Facilities programs. The Site is
also the home of DOE's Center for Environmental
Technology and Center for Waste Management with a
multifaceted mission including activities in
technology development, technology transfer,
engineering technology, uranium enrichment (UE)
support, and Energy Systems central functions of
business management, engineering, computing, and

which will be subject to Maximum Achievable
Control Technology and completing an emissions
inventory for residual risk analyses. Under Title
V, Air Permitting Program, an air emission
inventory is ongoing and will form the basis for
the Title V Permit that will be submitted in 1995.
The comprehensive Title V Permit will replace the
individual source permits.
There were 165 air sources at the K-25 Site at
year-end 1994.
The total includes 52 sources which are covered by
40 Tennessee Department of Environment and
Conservation (TDEC) air permits and 113 sources
which are exempt from permitting requirements.
WATER: DOE operates the Potable Water Facility located
south of the K-25 Site. It is in compliance with
drinking water quality standards. The supply of
water is obtained from the Clinch River. The
facility is operating under a compliance schedule
which includes the construction of a new treatment
lagoon to treat waste waters from the filter
backwash, clarifier waters, and discharge drain
from the K-1514 Raw Water Tank to comply with the
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) Permit. Detailed design was initiated in
January 1994 and construction will be complete by
September 1995.
WASTE WATER: The K-25 Site was issued a renewed NPDES Permit,
TN0002950, effective October 1, 1992. Currently,
the NPDES Permit includes seven major outfalls and
135 storm drain outfalls. Of the seven major
outfalls, the discharges through two of the major
423
-------

DOE/K-25 site, TN.
outfalls were permanently ceased during 1993, and
a third is scheduled for construction
completionand initiation of new discharge
April 1996. As required by the permit,
development of a Storm Water Pollution Prevention
Plan was completed October 1993 and is revised
annually.
Part I. E. of the K-25 Site NPDES Permit contains
four schedules of compliance: (1) cessation of
discharges through Outfalls 010 and 012; (2)
rerouting of Outfall 009 discharges; (3)
compliance with chlorine limitations for the
Category IV storm drains; and (4) termination of
Outfall 011 discharges to be replaced with a new
Outfall 014. The K-25 Site has completed the
first and third compliance schedules and expects
to meet the compliance dates of September 30,
1995, for the second and April 30, 1996, for the
fourth compliance schedule activity.
The K-25 Site experienced 99 percent-plus
compliance during 1994. Approximately
35,000 analyses were completed as required by the
NPDES Permit and only 16 noncompliances occurred.
Each noncompliance was reported in an Occurrence
Reporting System report, which identifies causes
and corrective actions to prevent future
occurrences.
Eight of the nine noncompliances that occurred at
the K-1203 Sewage Treatment Plant during CY 1994
were the result of infiltration/inflow overloads
due to excessive rainfall events. These
noncompliances were classified as upsets in
accordance with the NPDES Permit. A sanitary
sewer system upgrade project to minimize
infiltration/inflow was initiated in 1990. Phase
II of this project, which started November 1994,
includes relining of the sanitary sewer system
pipes. In January 1994, a new ultraviolet
disinfection system was placed on-line concurrent
with the chlorine disinfection system.
Additionally, operational changes have been
implemented which contribute to minimizing the
potential for NPDES Permit noncompliances.
UST: There are six regulated underground storage tanks
424

(UST) at the K-25 Site, five in service and one in
temporary closure. The Tennessee Department of
Environment and Conservation, Department of Energy-
Oversight Division (TDEC/DOE-O) conducted a
certificate inspection early in the year. The
certificate was correctly posted with all
applicable tanks listed. The most recent program
activity involved the K-806 (No. 18) emergency
generator UST located outside the site fence area
on McKinney Ridge. This tank, now in temporary
closure, will be closed according to all
applicable Tennessee regulations by February 1996.
RCRA: The K-25 Site operates with four Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) permits. The
K-14 35 TSCAI is a hazardous waste treatment unit
operating under a RCRA permit (TNHW-15) issued by
TDEC on September 28, 1987. A revised RCRA permit
based on trial burn results is anticipated to be
issued in 1995.
Modifications to K-25 Site RCRA permits submitted
during 1994 included an update of contingency-plan
information and changes to the map of site
boundaries and portals. In June 1994, a request
for a Class la Modification (requiring TDEC
approval) to Permit No. TNHW-015A was submitted to
add Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) test
methods for several heavy metals to the waste
analysis plan and remove a sump. The modification
was approved in August 1994. A request for a
Class la Modification to Permit No. TNHW-015A was
submitted in November 1994 to allow for use of
alternate analytical methods for metals and
removal of an internal dike and fencing from a .
container storage unit. TDEC approval for the
modification was received in January 1995. In
January 1994, TDEC approved a request for a Class
2 Modification to Permit No. TNHW-056 to install a
new concrete floor at the K-711 Waste Storage
Unit, install secondary containment for four
redesigned areas, and deletion of two areas. A
request for a Class 3 Modification to Permit No.
TNHW-056 was submitted in November 1993 to allow
storage of waste with free liquids and storage of
waste other than pond sludge in the K-1065 waste
storage units. In March 1994, TDEC approved the
Class 3 Modification. TDEC approved a request for
a Class la Modification to Permit No. TNHW-056 in
425
-------

DOE/K-25 site, TN.
April 1994 to allow for management of F039 waste
in container storage units. A waiver to permit
conditions was approved by TDEC in 1994 to
allowfor receipt of hazardous waste from the
"Roscoe Field's" waste site. A request for a
Clasn 2 Modification to Permit No. TNHW-057 was
made in August 1994 to install a new transfer
station- to serve the'K-1202 and K-1420-A Waste
Storage Unit and a new roof at K-1420-A. The
modification was approved by TDEC in October 1994.
A RCRA closure plan for the K-900 Bottle Smasher
was approved and issued by TDEC on July 23, 1993.
Closure of the unit was completed and the
Certification of Closure was submitted to TDEC in
May 1994. Closure of the K-1425 100-gal drain
tank was completed in August 1994. A
Certification of Closure was submitted to TDEC and
accepted by TDEC in October 1994. Closure of the
K-1423 Y-12 Demonstration Project was completed
and the Certification of Closure was submitted to
TDEC in November 1994.
In January 1994, TDEC issued a Notice of Violation
(NOV) based on observations associated with the K-
1417 Drum Storage Yard made during the September
1993 inspection. In June 1994, a Commissioner's
Order was issued for failure to meet the final
milestone deadline of June 1993 for repacking of
waste stored on the K-1417 Yard. Repackaging of
pond waste stored on the K-1417 Yard was
completed in December 1994. Movement of
repackaged waste to compliant storage is scheduled
to be completed by April 1995. In February 1994,
the EPA, Region IV, and TDEC performed an
unannounced RCRA inspection of the K-25 Site and
no findings were identified. In September 1994,
TDEC performed an inspection of the TSCAI with no
findings noted.
On December 23, 1993, an Order and Assessment of
Civil Penalty of $5,000 for the K-1435
Incinerator, Permit No. TNHW-15, was issued by the
TDEC. The penalty was issued for an NOV issued on
December 2, 1992, for exceeding permitted aqueous
waste feed rates on September 18, \L992. On
February 7, 1995, a Consent Order resolving the
Commissioner's Order was signed negating payment
426

of the $5,000 penalty.
CERCLA: The ORR, including the K-25 Site, is a
Comprehensive Environmental Response,Compensation,
and Liability Act (CERCLA) National Priority List
site. A Federal Facility Agreement (FFA) with EPA
and TDEC became effective January 1, 1992.
Currently, the K-25 Environmental Restoration
Program is actively addressing seven FFA Appendix
C sites: three are in the Remedial Design Phase
and four are in the Remedial
Investigation/Feasibility Study Phase.
TSCA: The Uranium Enrichment Polychlorinated Biphenyls
Federal Facilities Compliance Agreement (UE-PCB-
FFCA) was signed February 20, 1S92. This
agreement between DOE Headquarters (DOE-HQ) and
EPA headquarters (EPA-HQ) provided a vehicle for
resolution of PCB compliance issues at the
Portsmouth, Ohio, and Paducah, Kentucky, UE
facilities and the former UE facility at the K-25
Site in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. In July 1993, the
Portsmouth and Paducah facilities became the
United States Enrichment Corporation, a wholly-
owned enterprise of the US government independent
of DOE. Responsibility for compliance with the
PCB regulations for the Portsmouth and Paducah
facilities was retained by DOE. EPA-HQ agreed to
continue the UE-PCB-FFCA with DOE for these two
facilities but directed EPA, Region IV, to enter
into an agreement with DOE Oak Ri.dge Operations
(ORO) which would include the K-25 Site as well
as the Y-12 Plant and Oak Ridge National
Laboratory. The UE-PCB-FF'Ia continues in force
for the K-25 Site until tne new aqreement can .be
completed. The new agreement is tentatively
entitled the Oak Ridge Reservation Polychlorinated
BiDhenvls Federal Facilities Compliance Aqreement
(ORR-PCa-FFCA!.
DOFi-HQ and EPA-HQ meet quar.:eriv to discuss the
progress ot commitments under Ui£-FFCA. Several
proposals to advance efforts under tne agreement
have been proposed and accepted by EPA-HQ. In
February 1993, DOE submitted an uDdated list of
PCB compliance issues no EPA. Region IV, for
consideration in developing the ORR-PCB-FFCA.
Among these was a proDosal to aisDose of two PCB-
contaminated neat transfer systems dv flusning and
427

a proposal to allow for (decontamination and
continued use of a large firewater tank
contaminated with PCB.A reapplication for approval
to dispose of PCBs at the K-25 Site TSCAI was
submitted to EPA, Region IV, onDecember 20, 1991.
An amendment to the reapplication was submitted on
October 2, 1992, to clarify and address
improvements to the application. Although the
original "Approval to Dispose of PCBs" was -
scheduled to expire in March 19 92, it remains in
effect until EPA, Region IV, issues a new approval
based on the reapplication.
POLLUTION PREVENTION
During 1994, a number of pollution prevention
projects were implemented; thereby moving the K-25
Site closer to a model program. Three of the
major activities for C.Y 1994 were (1) initiating
semiannual reviews by site divisions, (2)
establishing performance measures, and (3)
completing pollution prevention opportunity
assessments of processes and activities generating
waste in all site divisions. There were a number
of source reduction and recycling projects
implemented to reduce waste generationt Some of
these activities were as follovs:
® draining shutdown electrical equipment in the
K-?l Switchyard and transferring oil and
equipment to off-site users (recycling one
transformer and twe oi?. circuit breakers and

Neutralization Facility (CNF) sludge, chlorinated
solvents, and TSCAI waste waters. The site
received the "Bang for the Buck" award from DOE-HQ
for achieving a distinguished program with limited
resources ana received three other DOE-HQ awards,
three E'OE-ORO awards, and nine site awards for a
numoer oi source reduction and recycling
activities.

NATIONAL PRIORITIES LIST
Superfund Hazardous Waste Site Listed Under The
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act
(CERCLA) as amended in 1986
= OAK RIDGE RESERVATION (USDOE)
Oak Ridge, Tennessee
The Oak Ridge Reservation (ORR), operated by the U.S. Department
of Energy (USDOE), covers about 58,000 acres in Oak Ridge, in Anderson
and Roane Counties, Tennessee. The area around the reservation is
predom- inately rural except for the City of Oak Ridge (pop 28,000).
ORR consists of three major operating facilities: Oak Ridge National
Laboratory, a research lab that includes nuclear reactors, chemical
plants, a radioisotope production labs; Oak Ridge Gaseous Diffusion
Plant, a production complex engaged primarily in the enrichment of
uranium-235; and the Y-12 Plant, located immediately adjacent to the
City of Oak Ridge, which produces nuclear weapon components, processes
nuclear materials, and performs other related functions.
ORR operations generate a variety of radioactive, nonradioactive,
and mixed (radioactive and nonradioactive) hazardous wastes, many of
which in the past.were disposed of or stored on-site. Leakage from
inactive disposal and storage facilities, coupled with spills and other
accidental releases, has contaminated many areas in and around ORR.
Metals, organics, and radionuclides have been detected in ORR
soil, ground water, and surface water. At present, ground water
contamination appears confined to ORR.
A 1983 study by USDOE estimates that 7 33,000 pounds of elemental
mercury were released to the environment in the 1950s and 1960s around
the Y-12 Plant. Most of the contamination around Y-12 is confined to
the upper 10 feet of soils and fill. Additional studies revealed that
some 17 0,000 pounds of mercury are contained in the sediments and
floodplain of about a 15-mile length of East Fork Poplar Creek (EFPC),
which has its headwaters at Y-12, and that some 500 pounds of mercury
annually leave this watershed. Mercury and cesium-137 have been
detected at higher than background levels in sediments of the Tennessee
River near Chattanooga, some 118 miles downstream of ORR. Seven water
intakes in this 118-mile stretch provide drinking water to an estimated
4 3,200 people. Wetlands in the Blyth Ferry Water Fowl Management Area
are also near the 118-mile stretch of the river.
EFPC flows through the City of Oak Ridge, exposing people to
mercury-contaminated soils in the easily accessible areas of the *
floodplains of the creek. USDOE has removed soil at several locations
along the creek where mercury concentrations were particularly high.
USDOE is investigating ORR under its Comprehensive Environmental
Assessment and Response Program. Under the program, USDOE is
conducting studies involving requirements of CERCLA and of permits
issued under Subtitle C of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act
(RCRA). The permits call for closing some unita on ORR, conducting
postclosure monitoring, and evaluating over 500 solid waste management
units under RCRA Sections 3004(u) and (v).

POPULATION: 5,900
COMPLIANCE STATUS
AIR: The facility is in compliance with Tennessee Air
Pollution Control Rules. To date, the facility
has 37 permitted air emission sources resulting
from operating and maintenance activities. The
most significant source is a coal fired steam
production plant.
ORNL is also in compliance with 40 CFR 61
regulations for radioactive emissions to the
atmosphere. Radioactive emissions result from
research activities, primarily from the operation
of a research reactor. Radioactive emission
sources and emission rates are reported annually
to EPA in accordance with 4 0 CFR 61.
ORNL anticipates that the facility can comply with
regulations which will result from the CAA
Amendments of 1990. Title VI of the CAA required
refrigeration systems which use chloro-
fluorocarbons (CFCs) to be replaced by non CFC
systems. This work will require up to $20,000,000
over a 11 year period. It is anticipated that
the Title V permit application will be due to TDEC
in early 1996. Actions to develop the permit
application are in progress and are on schedule.
At present, it is not anticipated that Title III
regulations will significantly impact on ORNL
facilities or operations.
WATER: Potable water is obtained from a DOE treatment
plant located on the Y-12 site. Raw water is
obtained from Melton Hill Lake on the Clinch
River. The water meets health standards after
treatment.
WASTE WATER: The NPDES permit for ORNL expired on Mar 31, 1991.
An application for renewal was submitted to TDEC
433

ORNL, TN.
in September 1990. A sepaxate Storm water Permit
Application was submitted in October 1992. The
new Nonradiological waste water Treatment Facility
(NRWTF) has passed toxicity tests at 100 %
effluent concentration in 17 of 18 tests conducted
since March 1990.
ORNL has engineering projects underway to modify
the Sewage Treatment Plant collection system
(1994-1996) and to upgrade the Coal Yard Runoff
Treatment Facility (1994-1995).
TDEC conducted an audit of the compliance sampling
requirements of the NPDES self-monitoring program
on June 6-7, 1994. ORNL received the highest
available rating in 10 of 11 areas evaluated. In
CY 1994 ORNL's Discharge Monitoring Report
compliance with its NPDES Permit was greater than
99 %.
UST: ORNL has a total of 5 3 underground storage tanks
that are subject to regulation under RCRA subtitle
1 regulations (40 CFR 280). These 53 USTs can be
categorized as follows: 17 are emergency generator
USTs (deferred until 1998, scheduled for
replacement by 1998); 26 have been permanently
closed; 3 are scheduled for environmental
assessment in 1995; 5 are currently being reviewed
by TDEC for final closure; 2 are fully regulated
UST systems which meet the 1998 final standards
for new tank installations.
RCRA: ORNL is registered as a large quantity generator,
and a treatment, storage, and disposal (TSD)
facility under EPA ID #TN1890090003. However 2
additional ORNL facilities (off-site of the main
plant) operated as small quantity generators under
EPA ID # TN8981800008 and TN8891800007 in previous
years, but in 1994 they did not generate hazardous
wastes at levels to be regulated as small quantity
generators.
ORNL's most recent Part A revision on Oct. 7,'93,
included 36 units. During 1994, 25 units operated
as interim status or permitted units, and another
11 units were proposed (either new construction or
existing buildings awaiting approval to operate).
2 revised Part B permit applications were issued
in 1994 by TDEC. Bldg 7652 continues to operate
under the 1986 Part 3 permit (TN 18900909993 and
HSWA-TN001). Tank 7830A received its Part B
permit on Oct. 15,'92 (TNHW-027). A class I
permit modification for tank 7 830A for the
434

contingency plan was completed in Dec.,'94. The
other ORNL RCRA units operate under interim
status, pending issuance of the Part 3 permits or
completion of closure. ORNL has requested that
another unit, the solid waste storage area (SWSA)
5N Burial Ground for retrievably stored, remote
handled transuranic waste be removed from RCRA
regulation and instead, be regulated under CERCLA.
Resolution of that request is pending.
SWSA 6 (the only disposal facility on ORNL's Part
A) has not accepted RCRA wastes since 1986. SWSA
6 is currently undergoing RCRA/CEP.CLA closure. A
revised Closure Plan for SWSA 6 was resubmitted in
Jan.,'94 for formal review by TDEC and ZEPA.
Comments were issued by EPA and TDEC in mid-'94.
These comments and r.ew information are being
incorporated into the plan (for resubmittal in
early '95). The revisions focus on the
integration of CERCLA remediation processes while
still addressing the RCRA closure requirements.
In '94, closure was completed for 3 units (Bldg,
7826, Bldg 7834 and Tank 7075). Closure of the
new hydrofracture surface facilities, bldg 7860,
is pending final approval of the closure plan.
RCRA mandated corrective actions were initiated as
early as 1986 and continue under the CERCLA
process.
TDEC conducted an inspection of ORNL' TSD
facilities and generator areas on May 2-4, '94 and
Nov 8-10, '94. NO violations were noted.
Resolution of the Notice of Violation issued by
TDEC in 1992 for failure to submit the Post-
closure Permit Application for SWSA 6 continued'in
1994. The Closure Plan for SWSA 6 was revised as
per discussions with TDEC for integrating RCRA and
CERCLA. The revised plan was resubmitted to TDEC
in Jan., ' 94 .
CERCLA: CERCLA activities continued during 1994. RI/FSs
and/ or CERCLA treatability studies for several
operable units in WAG 1 (e.g., Gunite and
Associated Tanks, surface impoundments OUs etc.)
have continued and/or were initiated. RI/FS field
work at WAG 5 was completed during ZY '94. A
removal action involving the remova] of Sr-90
contaminated groundwater from seeps C and D at WAG
5 was initiated by construction of an ion exchange
treatment system at both seeps. The treatment
systems became operable in Nov.,'94. several
435
-------

ORNL, TN.
other removal actions were contemplated and/or
construction was initiated during 1994, among
them: WAG 2 corehole 8 removal action and WAG WC-
14 removal action. Interim remedial actions at
WAGs 11 and 13 were also completed. Field work
associated with the WAG 6 environmental
monitoring plan was initiated during 1994.
Resolution of the CERCLA/RCRA integration question
at WAG 6 was initiated through the submittal of a
revision of the WAG 6 closure plan to the
regulators for review. In addition, the
groundwork was laid for the submittal of a RCRA
Post-closure permit application to the regulators
to tie the CERCLA remedial action requirements and
RCRA groundwater monitoring and post-closure care
requirements together in order to complete the
CERCLA/RCRA integration process.
TSCA: ORNL manages PCBs in compliance with federal
regulations. The facility operates research
equipment which contains PCS capacitors. It also
operates some miscellaneous equipment and
transformers, which contain oil contaminated with
PCBs. Both radioactive and nonradioactive PCB
wastes are stored on-site in approved storage
units. The radioactive PCBs are stored on-site or
at the Oak Ridge K-25 Site awaiting disposal at
the incinerator at K-25. Greater than one year
storage of PCB wastes and the use of hydraulic and
heat transfer equipment gaskets, and lubricating
systems that are contaminated or possible
contaminated are being considered in a Federal
Facilities Compliance Agreement (FFCA) Jaeing
prepared by EPA Region IV.
During 1994, ORNL researchers continued their
investigations of alternate disposal methods for
^CBs under the approval of EPA Reqion IV. In
apri.L 1994., YpA Region IV issued a Researcn &
Development permit to ORNL to conduct R i D on
stabilization/solidification techniques with mixed
wastes from various DOE sites. ORNT. also received
extensions for 2 R & D projects: one on biological
dechlorination research and the other for a
laboratory studv on a base-oatalvzed
dechlorination process tor removal, and treatment
of radioactively contaminated PCB wastes. ORNL
was granted authorization to conduct a field
demonstration on the use of base-catalyzed
destruction using solvated electrons on PCB-
contaminated material.

POLLUTION PREVENTION
ORNL updated and issued the Pollution Prevention
Program Plan. This included updated goals and
budget information. The plan addresses all laws,
regulations, and guidelines which contain
pollution prevention requirements. A pollution
prevention plan for the Walker Branch Watershed

Pollution Prevention Program supported Metals and
Ceramics (M&C) Division in their evaluation of 6
of their largest or problematic waste streams.
Empowered work teams were established to review
photochemical, used oil, human carcinogens and
reproductive hazards, waste acids, and building
exhaust filters. Through the evaluation of these
streams, the division has been able to reduce
their hazardous waste generation by an estimated
25 % in one year.
A pollution prevention opportunity assessment was
completed on the sanitary waste from the Oak Ridge
Reservation. The assessment identified several
options for continued reduction of sanitary waste
disposal.
The ORNL Recycling Program avoided the disposal of

wastes (for periods greater than one year),
research and development work involving PC3s, and
management of PCB contaminated items was supplied
to EPA Region IV m mid-'93. EPA was to supply
DOE with a draft agreement to enable negotiations
to proceed. Despite periodic follow ups with EPA
staff, no action has been taken by EPA to date.
Regulatory vulnerability remains high absent an
FFCA that addresses these compliance issues.
ORNL continues to operate under its NPDES permit
that expired in 1991. The permit includes certain
components including numeric limits on storm water
constituents, total suspended solids and oil and
grease, which are not in keeping with current EPA
and TDEC permitting philosophy. Despite
conscientious housekeeping and best management
practices, ORNL incurs periodic excursions of
these NPDES storm water limits. ORNL has provided
to DOE Engineering cost estimated and funding
requests for storm water collection and treatment
at ORNL. However, it is questionable whether such
pursuits would be justified in terms of
environmental benefit compared to the resources
that would be required. A major level of effort
has already been expended in satisfying the pre-
trial demands of the Friends of the Earth lawsuit
against DOE for permit excursions. A potential
exists for further litigation.
ACTION NEEDED
ORNL anxiously waits NPDES permit renewal by

Superfund Hazardous Waste Site Listed Under The
ComDrehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act
(CERCLA) as amended in 1986
= = OAK RIDGE RESERVATION (USDOE)
Oak Ridge, Tennessee
The Oak Ridge Reservation (ORR), operated by the U.S. Department
of Energy (USDOE), covers about 58,000 acres in Oak Ridge, in Anderson
and Roane Counties, Tennessee. The area around the reservation is
predom- inately rural except for the Ci'cy of Oak Ridge (pop 28 ,000).
ORR consists of three major operating facilities: Oak Ridge National
Laboratory, a research lab that includes nuclear reactors, chemical
plants, a radioisotope production labs; Oak Ridge Gaseous Diffusion
Plant, a production complex engaged primarily in the enrichment of
uranium-235; and the Y-12 Plant, located immediately adjacent to the
City of Oak Ridge, which produces nuclear weapon components, processes
nuclear materials, and performs other related functions.
ORR operations generate a variety of radioactive, nonradioactive,
and mixed (radioactive and nonradioactive) hazardous wastes, many cf
which in the past were disposed of or stored on-site. Leakage from
inactive disposal and storage facilities, coupled with spills ana other
accidental releases, has contaminated many areas in and around ORR.
Metals, organics, and radionuclides have been detected in ORR
soil, ground water, and surface water. At present, ground water
contamination appears confined to CRR.
A 1983 study by USDOE estimates that 7 33,000 pounds of elemental
mercury were released to the environment in the 1950s and 1960s around
the Y-12 Plant. Most of the contamination around Y-12 is confined to
the upper 10 feet of soils and fill. Additional studies revealed that
some 170,000 pounds of mercury are contained in the sediments and
floodplain of about a 15-mile length of East Fork Poplar Creek (EFPC),
which has its headwaters Y-12, and that some 500 pounds cf mercury
annually leave this watershed. Mercury ana cesium-137 have been
detected at higher than background levels in sediments of the Tennessee
River near Chattanooga, some 118 miles downstream of ORR. Seven water
intakes in this 118-mile stretch provide drinking water to an estimated
4 3,200 people. Wetlands in the Blyth Ferry Water Fowl Management Area
are also near the 118-mile stretch of the river.
EFPC flows through the City cf Oak Ridge, exposing people to
mercury-contaminated soils in the easily accessible areas of the
floodplams of the craeK. USDOE has removed soil at several locations
along the creek where mercury concentrations were particularly high.
USDOE is investigating ORR under its Comprehensive Environmental
Assessment and Response Program. 'Jnie-i che program, USDGZ is
conducting studies involving requirements of CERCLA and of permits
issued under Subtitle C of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act
(RCRA). The permits call for closing some units on ORR, conducting
postclosure monitoring, and evaluating over 500 solid waste management
units under RCRA Sections 30C4(u) and jvi,

The Y-12 Plant serves as a key manufacturing
technology center for the development and
demonstration of unique materials, components, and
services of importance to the DOE and the nation.
This is accomplished through the reclamation and
storage of nuclear materials, manufacture of
nuclear materials, manufacture of components for
the defense capabilities of the nation, support to
national security programs, and services provided
to other customers as approved by DOE.

COMPLIANCE STATUS
AIR: The Y-12 plant has about 64 active air permits
covering 344 air emission points. There are
currently about . 176 documented, exempt minor
sources and about 3 24 exempt, minor emission
points. 7 0 operating radiological stacks are
equipped with continuous stack samplers to sample
uranium emissions. A FFCA for using these samplers
and other emissions estimation methods to meet the
requirements of 40CFR, Part 61, Subpart H, for
sampling significant radionuclides emission points
was completed in 1992.
Major radionuclide sources, as per regulations,
are being continuously sampled to quantify
emissions. Periodic emissions estimates for the
minor sources will be mace as specified in the
compliance plan. EPA concurrence was received in
Mar. 16, '93, that all actions required under the
FFCA were complete; and the ORR facilities were in
compliance with NESHAP standards for
radionuclides. All major emission sources are
permitted by TDEC and are operating in compliance
with those permits.
Planning for compliance with anticipated and newly
issued requirements of the 1990 CAA Amendments is
a major effort. A Stratospheric Ozone Protection
442

Plan was issued. Y-12 has successfully
implemented work practices required to minimize
releases of chlorofluorocarbon refrigerants to the
atmosphere. Compliance requirements for motor
vehicle air conditioner maintenance and
refrigeration system maintenance are being met.
Studies are proceeding on finding replacements and
performing the necessary modifications to plant
refrigeration equipment to accommodate the
production ban on ozone-depleting chemicals.
Activities are scheduled to be completed by
October 1999. For this effort the Y-12 Plant, in
1994, shared in an EPA Strospheric Ozone
Protection Award with four other Martin Marietta
Corporation facilities around the country.
In anticipation of the permitting requirements' and
implementation of Maximum Achievable Technology
standards of the 1990 amendments, an effort is
underway to improve the stack and vent survey,
criteria pollutant emission inventory, and
hazardous air pollutant emission inventory. These
efforts will be required to submit the permit
applications required under Title V of the
amendments. The applications are expected to be
required in 1995.
WATER: Y-12 is designated as a "Non-transient Non-
community" water distribution system by TDEC and
is subject to the state "Regulations for Public
Water Systems and Drinking Water Quality," chapter
1200 5-1. Potable water is received from the DOE
owned water treatment facility located northeast
of Y-12. The water treatment facility is managed
by Johnson Controls Inc.
To meet the asbestos requirements under TDEC
regulations, 1-12 is filing a request for
exemption from sampling which is allowed for
systems that do not have asbestos containing
pipes. TDEC approved the exemption in Nov.,'94.
In Jul.,'93, Y-12 was granted reduced monitoring
status for lead and copper which required 2 0
samples be taken annually during the months of
July, August and September during the next 3
years.
WASTE WATER: Y-12 NPDES permit encompasses about 135 active,

monitoring that results in about 13,000 annual
samples. The number of outfalls continues to
decline as outfalls are consolidated,
eliminated,or changes are implemented at the site.
While noncompliances with the NPDES oenr.it and
spills to the environment occur, considerable
progress was made during 199 3 on minimizing these
incidents and their effect on receiving streams.
Monitoring of discharges demonstrates that Y-12
has achieved an NPDES permit compliance rate of
over 99 per cent, and biological monitoring
programs conducted on surface streams near the
plant provide evidence of the ecological recovery
of the streams. There were 11 NPDES violations in
1994, as compared to 14 in 1993 and 43 in 1992.
Only 2 of the nonconformances during 1994 were due
to exceedar.ces of waste water discharge limits.
NPDES permit expired May '90. The plant continues
to operate under the expired permit.TDEC issued a
draft of the new permit for the Y-12 plant on' Dec.
12,'94, for a 30 day public review. The new
permit is expected to be issued in 1995 with the
effective date to be 60 days after issue. Seme of
the mere significant changes in the revised draft
as compared with the expired NPDES permit include
the following:
- toxicity limitation for the headwaters of East
Fork Poplar Creek
- quarterly toxicity testing at the waste water
treatment facilities
- a compliance schedule to reduce mercury in East
Fork Poplar Creek
- chlorine limitations at all outfalls containing
cooling water
- chlorine limitations of water quality criteria
at the headwaters of East fork Poplar Creek
- a compliance schedule for correction of elevated
ammonia concentrations discharged to East Fork
Poplar Creek from a groundwater spring
- a requirement to manage the flow of East Fork
Poplar Creek such that a minimum flow of 7 mgd is
guaranteed by adding raw water from the Clinch
River to the headwaters of the creek
- sampling of storm water at a minimum of 25
locations per year, and •
- instream pH limitations on tributaries to Bear

Creek and various other tributaries on the south
side of Chestnut Ridge.
The Y-12 plant operates six waste water treatment
systems and associated collection and transfer
stations:
1. Central Pollution Control Facility - treatsnon-
nitrate waste waters and waste water contaminated
with heavy metals.
2. Plating Rinse Water Treatment Facility - treats
cyanide bearing rinse waters and miscellaneous
plating rinse waters.
3. West End Treatment Facility - treats waste
waters contaminated with nitrates and heavy
metals.
4. Steam Piant Waste Water Treatment Facility -
treats coal pile runoff, boiler blowdown, high
sulfates, ana some heavy metals.
5. Groundwater Treatment Facility - treats
contaminated groundwater (seeps) using air
stripping and carbon filtration.
6. Interim Mercury Treatment Facility - treats
waste water containing mercury using activated
carbon.
Sanitary waste water is discharged to the city of
Oak Ridge under an industrial pretreatment permit.
In 1954, Y-12 met all sampling and allowable
discharge limits for parameters listed in the
discharge permit. A new monitoring station, the
East End Sanitary Sewer Monitoring Station
(EESSMS) was completed on Jul 27,'94, to allow for
more accurate monitoring of the sanitary sewage
discharges by the Y-12 plant. The city of Oak
Ridge plans to issue new permits for industrial
customers in 1S55. During the City's annual
inspection they expressed concern about
undesirable materials entering the sanitary sewer
as a result of inflow and infiltration through
contaminated soils from the piant. To address
this concern, a line-item project has been
initiated to upgrade the Y-12 sanitary sewer
system. This project will rehabilitate over 250
manholes and repair or replace approximately
12,000 linear feet of existing sanitary sewer
line.
UST: The Y-12 UST program includes 47 USTs. This
number incorporates regulated petroleum and
445

hazardous substance USTs, and in the interest of
3est Management Practice, tanks that are deferred
or exempt. The UST Registration Certificates are
effective until Mar. 31,'95. The following
reflects the status of the Y-12 Plant USTs:
- 4 active/In-service petroleum USTs
40 Closed USTs (removed or inert filled).
Closure and/or characterization documentation has
been submitted for 3 tank sites with no further
action recommended. TDEC review is ongoing.
CAPswere submitted for 5 tank sites (12 tanks in
total). 4 of the CAPs have been approved by TDEC.
Corrective action activities have been completed
at one site. The subsequent closure report was
submitted to the TDEC for approval, and approval
is forthcoming. For the 4 remaining tank sites,
alternatives to "active remediation" are being
pursued. These alternative include the submission
of a site ranking form (SRF) and/or a site
specific standard request (SSSR) for each tank
site. These alternative, once approved by TDEC,
allow the tank owner/ operator to conduct
semiannual ground water monitoring in lieu of a
remediation scenario. A SRF has been submitted
for each of the 3 sites. TDEC approval of 2 sites
has been received, with approval of the third
pending. A SSSR has been submitted for the fourth
site, and TDEC approval is pending. Four heating
oil tanks have been closed; 3 prior to Dec.
22, '88, and one in Jan., '93. These tanks are
exempt from UST requirements because they are
excluded frcm the statutory definition cf
regulated USTs. Two emergency power generator
tanks were removed in 1974, prior to the
promulgation of RCRA Subtitle I regulations.
Concurrence from TDEC on final tank closures was
received on 4 tank sites and concurrence on 4
additional tank closures is expected.. Three tank
sites (6 tanks) have beer, :c.r.icr.ataJ r.s SWMUs and
will be investigated under CERCLA.
Hazardous substance USTs - 3 There are 2 concrete
burial vaults containing solid uraniun oxide.
These are deferred according to regulations. Any
UST containing radioactive material that is
regulated under the AtoTic. Energy Act of 19 54 is
deferred. A methanol UST permanently closed
in Jan., ' 93.

RCRA: Y-12 is in compliance with the majority of RCRA
requirements. Noncompliance issues which are
identified by anyone are aggressively pursued.
Whenever possible, corrective actions are
implemented immediately. Other issues require
compliance agreement with regulatory agencies to
schedule implementation of corrective actions.
-Y-12 generates hazardous waste and operates
hazardous waste management units for the treatment
and storage on these wastes. About 300 areas for
hazardous waste accumulation are operated in the
Y-12 plant . Additionally, Y-12 operates about 20
hazardous waste storage and/or treatment units.
The last RCRA hazardous waste compliance
inspection was conducted by the State in June
1994. No notices of violation were issued as a
result of this inspection.
There are no units at the Y-12 plant that are
actively used for disposal of hazardous wastes.
Closure actions are complete for several
previously used hazardous waste disposal units-
Closure activities are still under way for several
additional disposal units. Y-12 presently has
one active Part B postclosure permit (S-3 site).
Two additional postclosure permit applications are
due in 1995.
In Jan.'92, ")0", 3PA, and TDEC negotiated a FFA
regarding the environmental restoration at ORR.
This agreement is intended to integrate the
corrective action requirements of RCRA and CSRCLA.
In 1992, DOE appealed the applicability of RCRA
post-closure perzrits for closed RCRA units subject
to CERCLA corrective actions. In Apr.,'93, DOE,
TDEC, and Energy Systems signed an Agreed Order
regarding the RCRA post-closure permit for the S-3
site (RCRA-certified, closed treatment, storage,
and disposal -'T7"} unit subject to corrective
actions fc-r g'roundwa t i. c~ntiminaticn), thereby

facilities will be u^ed to treat inventoried mixed
waste. Construction of one new major on site

facility is planned. The final configuration of
on site facilities will be governed by the
availability of commercial resources. TDEC is
expected to approve, approve with modifications,
or disapprove the plan in spring 1995. The work-
off will take approximately 20 years, and the as-
generated treatment phase is expected to be
achieved in the year 2015 for most large-volume
waste types. Once treatment is available for
mixed waste when generated, ORR will be in
compliance with the storage prohibition under the
1984 RCRA land disposal restriction.
CERCLA: The Oak Ridge Reservation (ORR) including Y-12 was
listed on the NPL in Dec.,'89. Over 200
contaminated units have been identified at Y-
12resulting from past waste management practices.
Many of these sites have been grouped into
Operable Units (OU) based on priority and common
assessment and remediation requirements. During
1994, a RI/FS was completed at Bear Creek OU-2.
Additionally, the first phase of field work to
support a RI/FS for Upper east Fork Poplar Creek
Ou-1 was initiated. The CERCLA process at the
Abandoned Nitric Acid Pipeline was completed, and
a No-Further-Action Record of Decision (ROD) was
obtained. The feasibility study at Chestnut Ridge
OU-2 was also completed during 1994.
A major strategy change in implementation of
CERCLa within the Bear Creek Hydrologic Regime was
initiated in 1994. The remaining 3 0 Us whicn
contain the majority of contaminated sites within
the regime, were combined into one, regime-wide
unit? and an integrated RI/FS was begun to address
contamination within the regime. Such an approach
ensures consistent and complementary actions
throuqnouc tne regime and represents a significant
acceleration and streamlining of the CERCLA
process compared to its traditional
tmpLementation. Additionally, the reqime-wide
integrated RI/FS will result in several million
dollar cost savings for the first part of the
CERCLA process, as well as a significant
shortening of tne tj.me required to obtain RODs and
subsequent remedial actions within the regime.
TOXICS: Projects have been initiated to reduce and
eliminate PCBs and PCB items. These projects
448
-------
Page 8
Y-12 Plant, TN.
include annual audits, self assessments, and
internal inspections to inventory regulated PCBs;
sampling to ensure that PCB transformer pads are
cleaned and sampled according to regulations; and
sampling to ensure regulatory compliance with
testing requirements of hydraulic, heat-transfer,
and lubricating systems. Those systems found to
contain greater than 50ppm PCB are being
decontaminated and approval is being sought from
EPA to reclassify those systems.
Y-12 generates an annual PCB report detailing all
PCBs and PCB items in use, stored for disposal,
generated during the year, and disposed of
throughout the year. Several areas of the plant
have historical PCB contamination on concrete
surfaces. Complications are incurred when
attempting to decontaminate a porous material. Y-
12 is working closely with EPA to determine
resolutions to these problems.
Y-12 has many facilities which contain asbestos
materials. Compliance programs for asbestos
management are in place.
Has approximately 67 3 PCB capacitors.
An active portion of the Z-oil system at the Y-12
plant, a massive heat transfer system that once
connected several buildings, utilizes PCB
contaminated (12-15 ppm) mineral oil as a coolant.
Y-12 Plant staff initiated the identification and
removal of all PCB light ballasts. A program,
developed and initiated in 1991,. involved the
examination of every ballast within a building to
identify any PCB contamination. If a ballast did
not specifically state :No PCBs" then the ballast
was removed and disposed as PCB waste. The
project was placed on hold due to the waste
shipment moratorium and will resume when a
disposal option has been designated for PCB
ballasts.
Some PCB wastes have been stored at Y-12 in excess
of one year. This is due to specific constituents
in the waste that deem the waste not acceptable at
external PCB incinerators or landfills. This
449
-------
Page 9
Y-12 Plant, TN.
mixed waste is planned for the K-25 Site TSCA
Incinerator DOE has initiated discussions of a
TSCA FFCA to resolve the existing compliance issue
of storage in excess of one year.
Several projects have been initiated to reduce and
eliminate PCBs and PCB items. These projects
include annual audits to inventory regulated PCBs;
sampling to ensure that PCB transformer pads are
cleaned and sampled according to regulations; and
sampling to ensure regulatory compliance with
testing requirements of hydraulic heat-transfer
systems and lubricating systems. Those systems
found to contain greater than 50 ppm PCB are being
decontaminated, subject to EPA approval.
POLLUTION PREVENTION
The Pollution Prevention Program at Y-12 has
adopted a pollution prevention strategy based on 4
major elements: (1) the evaluation of processes
for pollution prevention opportunities and
associated projects, (2) pollution prevention
promotional activities, (3) tracking activities/
projects, and (4) exchanging of information and
technology.
During 1994, much effort was placed on identifying
pollution prevention opportunities and cn the
implementation of pollution prevention projects1.
Tracking systems have been developed for all 3
sites which track pollution prevention progress.
During CY 94, several source reduction/ recycling
projects were completed. Projects include
facility specific activities as well as
programmatic activities suc.i as the recycling
programs.
EPCRA/SARA TITLE III
As required under the provisions of EPCRA, section
311, 312 & 313 reports are prepared and submitted
to the appropriate comruittees/agencies. Using
information compiled through the annual hazardous
chemical inventory this reporting is accomplished.
During CY 93, the Y-12 plant reported the release
of 5 toxic chemicals via the section 313 report
for a total of 74,601 pounds. Presently reviews
450
-------
Page 10
Y-12 Plant TN.
are being conducted of toxic chemicals that might
be subject to reporting under section 313 for CY
'94. Because of DOE guidance requiring ORR to
aggregate usage, a trigger quantity of 1,000
pounds of usage during the calendar year was
utilized to determine the set of toxic chemicals
for which a detailed inventory should be conducted
in order to determine exact usage and aggregation
across the reservation.
RELEASE REPORTING
During CY '94, Y-12 staff reported 8 CERCLA
reportable quantity (RQ) spills to federal and
state agencies. The National Response Center was
notified of 7 ethylene glycol (antifreeze)
releases with the plant. Six of these involved
government vehicles with either overfilled
radiators, ruptured radiator hoses, or faulty
water pumps. The 7th spill involved an emergency
generator. In all 7 cases, the RQ of one pound
was exceeded. The 8th CERCLA RQ spill required
notification to TEMA and NRC. In this spill, the
valve assembly for a 350 gallon polytank
containing acid waste failed, releasing the
contents into a diked area. The release exceeded
the 100 pound RQ. NRC and TEMS were notified of 3
incidents that involved oil sheens on East Poplar
Fork Creek. All 3 of these incidents resulted
from the release of oil through building exits
that discharged directly into east Fork Poplar
Creek.
ENVIRONMENTAL AUDIT
Regulatory agencies conducted several assessments
during 1994. TDEC performed annual RCRA
inspections, an NPDES Compliance Inspection, and a
RCRA Groundwater Compliance Evaluation Inspection.
EPA visited the site as part of an ORR RCRA/TSCA
field trip. No major findings or areas of concern
were identified during the assessments. In
addition to EPA, TDEC, and DOE reviews, Y-12 plant
organization performed numerous assessments and
reviews of the environmental programs at the
plant. These assessments focused on the
environmental program, record keeping, sampling
procedures, and storage of toxic and hazardous

waste.
The facility was visited by the State Historic
Preservation Officer, and a programmatic agreement
was negotiated to outline a DOE-ORO compliance
plan for cultural and historic resources.
PROBLEM AREAS/ACTIONS NEEDED
1 - A TSCA FFCA for radioactive -contaminated PCBs
is required. A compliance agreement with EPA
Region 4 is being pursued.
2 - Chlorine concentrations in the upper reaches
of East Fork Poplar Creek occasionally exceed
water quality standards. Treatment systems are in
place to treat chlorinated water discharges.
Malfunctions of these treatment systems could
result in fish kills in the upper reaches of east
Fork Polar Creek. Minor oil sheens and

reduction of chlorine, rerouting of miscellaneous
sources from storm drains, and enhancement of on-
site treatment facility capabilities are
progressing.
3 - The NPDES permit will require the reduction of
mercury loading to EFPC. A project has been
initiated to reduce the annual mercury release
from the Y-12 plant by about 70% by the end of the
5 year NPDES permit period. An interim mercury
treatment facility began operation in late '94;
however, there is still a concern that the system
will not handles peak flows.
4 - A flow management project for East Fork Poplar
Creek has been initiated to add raw water to east
Fork Poplar Creek in order to maintain. 7.0 mgd .
flow at station 17. The current flow rate is
about 4 mgd. This project is required by the
current draft NPDES permit to meet Tennessee water
quality stream standards. Construction is
scheduled for start in late spring '95 and
completion in the fall of '95.
5 - Work has been initiated to upgrade the Y-12
plant sanitary sewer network.
6 - Additional postclosure permits are needed for
units previously closed under RCRA. A schedule
has been approved by TDEC for submittal of 2
additional RCRA postclosure permit applications by
July, '95.
7 - On Jan. 17, '92, Friends of the earth, Inc., a

nonprofit corporation, filed a lawsuit alleging
that DOE is violating the terms and conditions of
its NPDES permits for the Y-12 plant, ORNL, and
the K-25 site. Specifically, the complaint
alleges that discharges of certain quantities of
various pollutants into tributaries of the Clinch
River that have their sources at the Y-12 plant,
ORNL and the K-25 site have exceeded (and are
exceeding) the allowable discharge limits
established by the NPDES permits. The injunction
seeks to force DOE to comply in all aspects with
DOE's NPDES permits, declaratory judgements, and
the award of various other costs.
In October, '92, Friends of the Earth, Inc., filed
a motion for summary judgement with the court. In
Jan.'93, DOE and the U.S. Dept. of Justice filed a
cross-motion for denial of summary judgement. A
hearing was held in Federal District Court in
Knoxville, TN. in May, '93. At that time the
court ordered the parties to prepare charts or
tables summarizing their positions regarding the
number and extent of the alleged violations of the
NPDES permits and the corrective actions taken,
planned, or requested. The parties have compiled
with this order. Oral arguments before the court
regarding the filed briefs will be conducted on
Mar. 3, ' 95 .

NATIONAL PRIORITIES LIST
Superfund Hazardous Waste Site Listed Under The
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act
CERCLA) as amended in 1986
OAK RIDGE RESERVATION ( US'DOE)
Oak Ridge, Tennessee
The Oak Ridge Reservation (ORR), operated by the U.S. Department of
Energy (USDGE), covers about 53,000 acres in Oak Ridge, in Anderson and
Roane Counties, Tennessee. The area around the reservation is predom-
inately rural except for the City of Oak Ridge (pop 28,000). ORR consists
of three major operating facilities: Oak Ridge National Laboratory, a
research lab that includes nuclear reactors, chemical plants, a
radioisotope production labs; Oak Ridge Gaseous Diffusion Plant, a
production complex engaged primarily in the enrichment of uranium-2 35; and
the Y-12 Plant, located immediately adjacent to the City of Oak Ridge,
which produces nuclear weapon components, processes nuclear materials, and
performs other related functions.
ORR operations generate a variety of radioactive, nonradioactive, and
mixed (radioactive and nonradioactive) hazardous wastes, many of which in
the past were disposed of or stored on-site. Leakage from inactive
disposal and storage facilities, coupled with spills and other accidental
releases, has contaminated many areas in and around ORR.
Metals, organics, and radionuclides have been detected in ORR soil,
ground water, and surface water. At present, ground water contamination
appears confined to ORR.
A 1983 study by USDOE estimates that 733,000 pounds of elemental
mercury were released to the environment in the 1950s and 1960s around th
Y-12 Plant. Most of the contamination around Y-12 is confined to the upper
10 feet of soils and fill. Additional studies revealed that some 170,000
pounds of mercury are contained in the sediments and floodplain of about a
15-mile length of East Fork Poplar Creek (EFPC), which has its headwaters
at Y-12, and that some 500 pounds of mercury annually leave this watershed.
Mercury and cesium-137 have been detected at higher than background levels
in sediments of the Tennessee River near Chattanooga, some 118 miles
downstream of ORR. Seven water intakes in this 118-mile stretch provide
drinking water to an estimated 4 3,2 00 people. Wetlands in the Blyth Ferry
Water Fowl Management Area are also near the 118-mile stretch of the river.
EFPC flows through the City of Oak Ridge, exposing people to mercury-
contaminated soils in the easily accessible areas of the floodplains of the
creek. USDOE has removed soil at several locations along the creek where
mercury concentrations were particularly high.
USDOE is investigating ORR under its Comprehensive Environmental
Assessment and Response Program. Under the program, USDOE is conducting
studies involving requirements of CERCLA and of permits issued under
Subtitle C of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). The
permits call for closing some units on ORR, conducting postclosure
monitoring, and evaluating over 500 solid waste management units under RCRA
Sections 3004(u) and (v).

PCBs were detected in the discharge from the low
volume waste treatment pond during 1988. PCBs
were released to this pond during a transformer
fire in 1982. The PCBs resulting from that fire
were cleaned up to meet regulatory requirements of
the time and the pond was put back into service.
PCBs were not detected in the discharge from the
pond again until 1988. A corrective action plan
approved by the State and EPA was implemented,
contaminated pond sediments removed, and the
contaminated sediments disposed in a regulatory
approved facility.
Approximately 4 0 cy of sediment were also found to
contain low levels of radioactivity. Regulatory
approved treatment/disposal capacity for this
mixed PCB/radioactive waste is not presently
available. Therefore it is being stored on site
in accordance with applicable PCB storage
requirements. A one year exception report was
submitted to EPA, Region IV on February 4, 1993.
Treatment and disposal capacity continues to be
unavailable. Therefore, a second one year
exemption report was submitted to EPA, Region IV
on January 28, 1994. EPA's communication of
January 1994 requests that TVA revisit the storage
issue starting on March 31, 1995.
EPA will be notified of our findings.
POLLUTION PREVENTION
TVA has developed a white paper, waste oil, and
used battery recycling program which has proven
effective.

Restoration Program (IRP) was received in August
1937. The report recommendations were "no action"
at this time due to low levels of contamination
and because there is no established threat to the
drinking water. EPA transmitted comments in
November 1987 requiring additional study. A
follow-on study, which included construction of
four (4) additional monitoring wells, was
conducted in 1989-1990, with the study report
being issued in December 1990. A further study
has been initiated by Army Environmental Center
(AEC), formerly USATHAMA, in August, to prepare a
comprehensive RI/FS study and to investigate
several areas which were not addressed in prior
RI/FS documentation. A work plan for a Site
Investigation (SI) ana RI"/FS study was
subsequently approved and the sampling and data
gathering phase was initiated in November 1993.
The field work for the effort was completed in
July, 1994 and the P.I document is currently in
preparation. A projected completion date for the
si report is June 1995 while the projected
completion of the RI report is September 1995.
A Site Inspection Report for HRS-2 data has been
prepared relative to Volunteer AAP. This report
was issued by AEC in April 1992.
