Executive Summary
The soil remedy for the Missouri Electric Works Superfiind site in Cape Girardeau,
Missouri included excavation, processing, and treating PCB-eontaminated soils using thermal
desorption technology. After treatment and analyses to confirm that treatment standards had
been met, treated soil was used to backfill excavated areas onsite. The entire area was capped
with a contaminant-free soil. The upper foot of cap was enriched to support vegetation. The soil
remedy was complete with the acceptance of the Soil Remedial Action Report during September
2000. The trigger for this five-year review is the start of remedial action (RA) on-site
construction, which occurred June 7,1999.
The groundwater portion of the remedy at the Missouri Electric Works Superfiind site has
not been implemented. After the ROD was signed in 1990, new hydrogeologic information was
obtained by the Missouri Electric Works Steering Committee (MEWSC). This new information
indicated that there was a possibility that PCBs were present in the groundwater at depths greater
than three hundred (300+) feet. Solution features woe encountered at depths of 110,220 and
315 feet below ground surface (bgs). The solution cavities at depths of220 and 315 feet bgs
were mud-filled; the mud and water were contaminated with PCBs. A focused remedial
investigation and feasibility study for groundwater has been conducted for the site. AThe EPA
expects to issue an amendment to the 1990 Record of Decision (ROD) will be issued to address
the "new" groundwater conditions.
The assessment of this five-year review found that the soil remedy was conducted in
accordance with the requirements of the ROD. One Explanation of Significant Differences
(ESD) was issued to include onsite thermal desorption in addition to onsite incineration as
acceptable methods of treating the PCB-contaminated soils. The soil remedy is functioning as
designed.
The threats from groundwater have not been addressed. (There is no human consumption
of groundwater In the immediate area.) All components of the 1990 ROD have not been
implemented; therefore protectiveness has been achieved only for the soils. Additionally, new
policy to assess the potential threat to ecological systems or the environment have been
implemented since 1990. There is a need to perform an investigation to collect data necessaiy
for an Ecological Risk Assessment to determine whether additional efforts are necessaiy to
achieve protectiveness of the environment.

Issues:
Erosion along the eastern perimeter of the site has caused some of the treated soils and
cap soils to leave the site. The treated soils are highly susceptible to erosion; therefore it
is necessary to maintain the soil cap and vegetative cover.
Institutional controls were not placed on the site with regards to soil contamination since
all soils with PCB concentrations greater than 10 parts per million (ppm) were removed
from the site.
Institutional controls have not been placed on the site with regards to groundwater, this
needs to be done.
A wetland area south of the MEW property has been impacted by contamination from the
site.
Insufficient groundwater monitoring data has been performedcolleeted in the wetland area
to determine whether or not the contaminant plume is migrating.
Insufficient groundwater parameter data has been collected to evaluate whether or not
natural attenuation is occurring.
Recommendations and Follow-up Actions:
The erosional area of concern should be inspected annually. If the slope conditions have
deteriorated, the property owner should repair the slope.
An amendment to tThe 1990 ROD needs toshould be writtenamended to remove the
requirement of institutional controls for the site soils.
Institutional It may be necessary to implement institutional controls for groundwaterose

An ecological risk assessment and investigation needed to collect the required data should
be performed. A decision should be made at that time with regards to any additional
actions that may be required for protectiveness of the environment
Additional groundwater data will be collected to evaluate whether or not the contaminant
plume in the wetland area Is migrating.
Additional groundwater data will be collected to evaluate whether or not natural
-------
attenuation is occurring below the wetland.
Protectiveness Statements):
The soil remedy is protective of human health. Hie groundwater portion of the remedy
has not been implemented. The groundwater could representpresent a risk to human health
through ingestion or inhalation. New standards have been instituted for ecological protectiveness
since the ROD was written. Additional work, needs to be performed to determine whether or not
there is an ecological risk.
Additional sampling and monitoring of the groundwater will be performed to evaluate the
migration of the contaminant plume below the wetland area and to evaluate the potential
of natural attenuation of the contaminants of concern. An investigation will be performed
to gather the data necessary for the Ecological Risk Assessment A determination will be
made after the Ecological Risk Assessment is complete whether or not additional actions
will be required for protectiveness of the environment.
Long-term Protectiveness:
fcThe completion of the soil remedial action (destruction of the PCBs in site soil) has
resulted in the long-term protectiveness of human health by the soil remedial action has
been provided by destruction of the PCOs attached tu llii soil. Lung ienii'protectiveness

Missouri Electric Works Superfund Site
Cape Girardeau, Missouri
First Five-Year Review Report
I. Introduction
The purpose of the five-year review is to determine whether the remedy at a site is
protective of human health and the environment. The methods, findings, and conclusions of
reviews are documented in Five-Year Review reports. In addition, Five-Year Review reports
identify issues, if anv. found during the reviewrffimr, and identify recommendations to address
thcmsuch issues.
The Agency EgA is preparing this Five-Year Review report pursuant to Section 121(c) of
the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA)-§41+S
and the National Oil flftf flflfiardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP). CliRCLA §
statcsSection 121 f ct provides:
If the pPresident selects a remedial action that results in any hazardous substances,
pollutants, or contaminants remaining at the site, the President shall review such
remedial action no less often than each five^ years after the initiation of such remedial
action to assure that human health and the environment are being protected by the
remedial action being implemented In addition, if upon such review it is the judgement
of the President that action is appropriate at such site in accordance with sfBectiorrfg
I04f or f!06ofCERCLAl. the President shall take or require such action. The
President shall report to the Congress a list offacilities for which such review is
required the results of all such reviews, and any actions taken as a result ofsuch
reviews.
The AucncvEPA has interpreted this requirement tether in the NCP; 40 GI-'K 5300C.F.R.
U2Q.430(f)(4)(ii) statesorovides:
If a remedial action is selected that results in hazardous substances, pollutants, or
contaminants remaining at the site above levels that allow for unlimited use and
unrestricted exposure, the lead agency shall review such action no less often than every
five years after tbrinitiation of the selected remedial action.
The United States-Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Region 7, conducted the
fivevt'dr rFive-Year Review of the remedy implemented at the Missouri Electric Works (MEW)
Superfund Site, in Cape Girardeau, Missouri. This review was conducted by the Remedial
Project Manager (RPM) for the entire site from December 2003 through July 2004. This report
documents the results of the review. £"» 5

III. Background
Physical Characteristics
Cape Girardeau, Missouri is a thriving community of about 37,000 permanent residents.
Cape Girardeau is located in southeastern Missouri along the Mississippi River, It is a regional
hub for education, commerce and medical care. Southeast Missouri State University is located in
Cape Girardeau. -It is estimated that approximately 50,000 additional people visit Cape
Girardeau daily to work, go to school, get medical care or shop.
Missouri Electric Works, Inc. (MEW) operated on a 6.4 acre tract adjacent to U.S.
Highway 61 (South KjngsMghway)Jn_Cg^O|rarigu. Attachment 1 indicates the location of
the site within the city limits of Cape Girardeau, Missouri. The MEW-site includes all areas
which became contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) originating from thc-MEWj
operations. Attachment 2 indicates the area that has been impacted by the contamination from
the MEW site. The MEW site is located in a predominately commercial/industrial area of Cape
Girardeau, Missouri. The area surrounding the MEW site has experienced significant
development since die early 1990s when die site was listed on the National Priorities List (NFL).
I
The MO W-site is situated approximately 1.6 miles west of the Mississippi River, It is Si
located in the hills adjacent to the west valley wall of the Mississippi River flood plain. »L £
Intermittent run-off channels emanate from die north, south and east boundaries of the site and ^
eventually drain into the Cape LaCroix Creek which is located 0.7 miles east of the site. The ^ 3
Cape LaCroix Creek flows 1.1 miles to the southeast and eaters the Mississippi River. The m
property is bounded on the north by retail and warehouse properties, on the south by a residence,
commercial storage and a construction company, and on the east by a warehouse. A wetland is
located approximately 700 feet south of the MEW property. Attachment 3 indicates the
approximate location of the wetland in relation to the MEW srtepropertv and the city of Cape
Girardeau.
Land and Resource Use
4
-------
Missouri Electric Works, Inc. purchased the property in 1952. Prior to that-time, it is
believed that the land was used for agricultural purposes. Missouri Electric Works, Inc. operated
an electrical repair, service, and resell business from the location from 1954 to 1992. The facility
has not operated since 1992.
The current land use for the surrounding area is predominantly commercial. There are
recreational soccer fields located east of the MEW site. Significant new business construction
has occurred near the site. It is expected that the land use in the area mil not change
significantly. In establishing cleanup requirements for the site, EPA considered the theoretical
possibility of an on-site residence. The thermally treated soils were used to backfill the
excavations at the site. After soils treatment was complete, a vegetative cover was established to
protect the site from erosion.
History of Contamination
Missouri Electric Works, Inc. serviced, repaired, reconditioned and salvaged electrical
equipment from 1954 to 1992. Electrical equipment handled during this time consisted of oil-
filled electrical transformers, electric motors, electrical equipment controls and oil-filled
switches. PCBs, first manufactured in the 1920s, have excellent fire-retardant properties. PCBs
were often added to the dielectric fluid in electrical equipment to minimize the potential for fires.
The Toxic Substance Control Act (TSCA) of 1978 banned the future manufacture of PCBs and
required that electrical equipment containing more than 500 parts per million (ppm) PCB had to
be removed from service. This regulation resulted from studies which indicated that PCBs are a
probable human carcinogen, they are extremely stable in the environment (they do not degrade)
and they bio-accumulate in the food chain. The products of incomplete combustion of PCBs are
dioxins and fiirans.
During its operational history, Missouri Electric Works, Inc. reportedly recycled materials
from old units, selling copper wire and reusing the dielectric fluids from the transformers. The
salvaged transformer oil was filtered through Fuller's earth for reuse. An estimated 90 percent of
the transformer oil was recycled. According to business records obtained from Missouri Electric
Works, Inc., more than 16,000 transformers were repaired or scrapped at the site during its time
of operation. The total amount of transformer oil that was not recycled was estimated to be
28,000 gallons. Information gathered during Interviews of foimer employees indicates that the
majority of the non-recycled oil was disposed of on the site. In 1984, approximately 5,000
gallons of waste oil was removed by a contractor after the TSCA inspection by the Missouri
Department of Natural Resources (MDNR),
Industrial solvents were used to clean the electrical equipment being repaired or serviced.
Solvents were reused until they were no longer effective. Spills and disposal of spent solvents on
the MEW property were described by past employees during EPA-conducted interviews. .The
MEW and adjacent properties have been found to be contaminated with PCBs.
-------
Initial Response
The site was discovered in 1984 during a TSCA inspection. PCB contaminated soils and
inappropriate storage of over 100 55-gallon drums of PCB-contaminated oils were identified.
EPA performed additional investigations to characterize the amount of contamination between
1985 and 1988. EPA issued an administrative order requiring that the owner/operator of the site
no longer handle any oil-filled electrical equipment with PCB concentrations greater than 2 ppm,
that erosion barriers be placed in all drainage features to minimize the amount of PCB
contamination migrating off-site via storm water runoff, and that vegetables grown on site not be
sold or given away to anyone outside of the site owner's immediate family.
The site was proposed for inclusion on the National Priorities List (NPL) on June 24,
1988, and finalized on the NPL on February 21,1990. Former MEW customers were informed
of their potential liability beginning in June of 1988. A steering committee of former customers
known as the Missouri Electric Works Steering Committee (MEWSC) was formed. The
MEWSC performed a Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (RI/FS) during 1989 and 1990.
The RI/FS was made available to the public during June 1990. The Proposed Plan identifying
EPA's preferred remedy was presented to the public during August 1990, starting the period for
public comment.
Basis for Taking Action
Contaminants
Hazardous substances that have been released to the site in each media include:

-------
The risks to human health and the environment represented by the PCB contamination
were evaluated assuming that the site could be used for recreational, residential, or occupational
use. Exposure routes included inhalation of PCB-contamination dust or PCB vapors, ingestion
of PCB-contaminated soil, or dermal contact with PCB-contamination, Hie health risks
represented by the PCB contamination at the site are unacceptable. The carcinogenic risk
represented by the PCB soil contamination at the site for the current use scenario was estimated
to be lxl0*3, or one additional cancer for every 1,000 persons. The carcinogenic risk represented
by PCB contamination at the site for future residential use of the site was 1x10 "2, or one
additional cancer for every 100 persons,
A Human Health Risk Assessment (HHRA) of the MEW site was performed by the
MEWSC during 1990. The purpose of the Human i lealth Risk Assessing ntHHRA was to assess
the risks posed to human health by the contaminants at the MEW site. Contaminants at the Site
included: PCB-eontaminated soils and sediments, volatile organic compound (VOC)-
contaminated soils and sediments ,and VOC contamination of the mound watcrgroundwater.
The risk assessmentHHRA evaluated both current and future exposure situations. For
purposes of the Risk Assessmcnt|jHf|4» it was assumed that no remedial action wouid be
performed at the site in older to evaluate the possible future risks posed by the contamination.
The following routes of exposure were evaluated; ingestion of PCB-contaminated and VOC
contaminated soil/sediment by children and adults; inhalation of PCB-contaminated and
VOC-contaminated dust particles/vapors by children and adults; dermal (skin) exposuw to
PCB-eontaminated and V OC-contaminated soil/sediment; and ingestion of VOC-contaminated
ground water by children and adults (future use only). It was assumed that these exposures
would occur during the following activities: recreational; residential and occupational (adults
only).
The analyses performcdHHRA indicated that site presented
an unacceptable risk to human health and the environment in 1990. The principal threat from the
site was due to human exposure to the PCB-contaminated soils. The analyses were based on
"most probable case" and "worst case" exposure scenarios. Potential risks associated with
exposure to ground water are attributed to the presence of chlorinated compounds that exist at
concentrations that exceed State maximum contaminant levels (MCLs).
IV. Remedial Actions
Remedy Selection
The Record of Decision (ROD) for the Missouri Electric Wrorks Sitegjjg was sfgnedissued
by EPA on September 28,1990, Remedial Action Objectives (RAOs) were developed as a result C\ 5

of remedial technology alternatives to be considered in the ROD. EPA's national goal for the
Superfund program is to select remedies that will be protective of human health and the
environment, that will maintain protection over time and that will minimize untreated waste. In
establishing remedial goals for the MCW Sgite, EPA considered applicable or relevant and
appropriate requirements (ARARs) specific to the contaminants of concern; the fttste
AssessmcntHHRA: Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs) and Maximum Contaminant Level
Goals (MCLGs) established undo1 die Safe Drinking Water Act; and EPA guidance and policy,
specifically the TSCA PCB Spill Cleanup Policy, 40 C.F.R, Part 761,
Source Control Response Objectives
* Minimize the migration of contaminants from the proper! vsite soils;
• Reduce risks to human health by preventing direct contact with and ingestion of
contaminants in tht-site soils; and
• Minimize the migration of contaminants from the site to the adjacent wetland.
Management of Response Objectives
• Eliminate or minimize die threat posed to human health and the environment by
preventing exposure to soil, air, and sediment contaminants;
• Prevent further migration of soil contamination beyond the then current cxtentsite
boundaries: and
• Restore contaminated groundwater to State ARARs-that-hr. which are considered to be
protective of human health and the environment, within a reasonable period of time.
The major components of the source control remedy selected in the ROD include the following:
1. Preparation of the Ssite will be performed by clearing trees and vegetation in the area
where the incinerator is to be placed;
2. Excavation and on-site incineration of all soils with PCB concentrations in excess of 10 ^
ppm to a depth of four (4) feet and 100 ppm at depths greater than four (4) feet. C7 ^
Excavated soils will be consolidated on-site with provisions to minimize migration of the g m
contaminated materials; ^
3. Mobilization and set-up of the incinerator at the Ssite; ^ p
4. Conduct Tirial bura(s) to ensure the operational capabilities of the incinerator; m
5. Monitor continuously incinerator feed rates. Frequent monitoring of incinerator
emissions from the incinerator, both ash and gases, to document that destruction
efficiencies and air emissions standards are complied with. Testing of the ash residuals
from the treatment process will be performed to identify leaching characteristics, to
8
-------
identify the compounds within the ash and to verify that the ash contains less than 2 ppm
PCB.
6. Backfill excavated areas using treated soils, after analytical tests confirm that treatment
standards are met;
7. De-mobilizaton of the incinerator from site when treatment of PCB-contaminated soils is
complete; and
8. Restoration and revegetation of the Ssite.
9. Impose institutional controls, such as deed restrictions and/or zoning restrictions to limit
use of the Ssite to industrial or commercial proposes.
The major components of the migration management remedy selected in the ROD include:
1 . Perform additional investigation of the hydro-geologic regime in the vicinity of the MEW
Sgite to identify the vertical extent of contamination; confirm the presence or absence of a
continuous aquiclude within the upper 200-300 feet of the bedrock;
2. Perform pump tests to determine the flow rates and hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer
to gather additional data necessary for the design;
3. Design the extraction well network, including well locations, pump sizes, pumping
frequency, location and sizes of connecting piping;
4. Sample water extracted during the pump tests for identification of the contaminants and
associated concentrations present in the ground water;
5. Extract and treat ground watereroundwater utilizing an extraction well network,
temporary storage, followed by removal of volatile organic compounds using an air-
stripper with gas phase carbon adsorption from the air stream; and
6. Perform Five-yYear $rtc-r£eviews to assess site condition, contaminants distributions,
and any associated site hazards.
An Explanation of Significant Differences (ESD) to the ROD was issued on February 1,
1995. Technologies (thermal desorption) capable of effectively dealing with the contamination
at the MEW S|ite had been developed and demonstrated successfully. The MEWSC provided
tfrc-information supporting the ESD as a focused feasibility study in October 1994. The EPA
reviewed the information and concurred that thermal desorption would be a viable alternative.
The EPA notified the public of the proposed change, conducted a meeting in Cape Girardeau,
Missouri during December 1994 and issued the ESD. The primary changes documented in the
ESD were:
• Changing on-site incineration to on-site thermal treatment; and
* Defining on-site thermal treatment to be either incineration or thermal desorption.

Court on August 14,1996. The same group of former customers again appealed the CD entry.
The 8th Circuit Court of Appeals confirmed entry of the CD during December 1997.
The Remedial Design (RD) was conducted in conformance with the soils response
actions identified in the ROD as modified by the ESD. The RD was conditionally approved by
EPA on March 25,1999.
The MEWSC requested that EPA allow it to further investigate groundwater
contamination during late 1990. The purpose of the investigation was to "prove** the presence of
a confining layer (shale) that would inhibit the downward migration of contaminants in the
groundwater. EPA agreed to the investigation. Drilling for the new well began in January 1991.
A pilot hole was drilled to about 220 feet to verify the condition of the limestone bedrock. This
hole was continuously coxed within the bedrock; the quality of the rock was good. The location
of the new monitoring well (MW-11) was approximately 10 feet southwest of the pilot boring.
While drilling, a solution feature was detected at a depth of about 110 feet below ground surface
(B6Sbgs). Casing was "seated'* in the rock below the void; the boring grouted and re-drilled
using a smaller diameter drill bit- A second, larger solution feature about 10 feet high was
detected at a depth of about 220 ft. bp. This void was mud-filled; the mud was sampled, PCB
contamination of the mud and water was detected. Again the casing was "seated" in the rock
below the void; the boring grouted and re-drilled using a smaller diameter drill bit (this is
referred to as telescoping the hole). A third large solution feature was encountered at a depth of
about 315 ft. bgs. This void was also mud-filled. Several thousand gallons of the mud-slurry
material within the hole was pumped and then sampled. PCB contamination of the sediment-
water mixture and water (the solids were removed using a centrifuge) was detected. The hole
was telescoped again. The hole was advanced to a depth of405 ft. bgs. Groundwater was
collected and sampled. PCBs were detected at 2 parts per billion (ppb). (The MCL for PCBs in
groundwater is 0.5 ppb.) ^
-n m
The new groundwater information resulted in the identification of a significant data-gap. S7 ^
yAs a result, the Consent Decree£P provided for the clean-up of the PCB-contaminated soils, in o d
accordance with the ROD, and for a focused investigation and feasibility study of the
groundwater ("additional investigation of the hydro-geologic regime in the vicinity of the MEW --J p
Site will be performed") and treatment of the contaminated groundwater within about 70 feet of w m

The work identified hi the CD took place in two phases; the first was thermal treatment of
the PCB-contaminated soils and the second was the focused groundwater study. After several
years delay due to legal proceedings, the contract for thermal treatment of the soils was awarded
on August 25,1998. The remedial design was conditionally approved on March 25,1999. On-
site mobilization, clearing and grubbing efforts began on June 7,1999. Thermal treatment of the
PCB-contaminated soils was completed on July 25,2000. The work for the soils operable unit
(OU) was finished with the approval of the Remedial Action Report on September 29,2000. The
major components of the Soils Remedial Action (RA) were:
• Clearing and grabbing of the site;
• Construction of concrete pad for the Low Temperature Ttamal Desorption (LTTD) unit;
• Mobilization and set-up of the LTTD unit;
• Excavation of PCB-contaminated soils;
• Screening/processing of PCB-contaminated soils in preparation for thermal desoiption;
• LTTD trial runs (process had to meet specified destruction criteria and not create products
of incomplete combustion (PICs));
• Review of LTTD T|rial ftrun(s) data;
• Approval to treat soils using parameters established during trial runs;
• Excavation of deep PCB-contamination (up to 25 ft. bgs) - all soils with PCB
concentrations greater than 100 ppm removed from the site (sinkholes were detected on
site, with one being at the location of monitoring wells MW-3, MW-5 and MW-11);
• Modification of excavation plan to leave habitat for pair of nesting Red-Tailed Hred-
tailed hawks:
• Production ^treatment of PCB-contaminated soils;
• Backfill and regrading of site;
• Re-vegetation of site; and
• Pre-final/Final Inspection.
The pre-final inspection concluded that the soils RA had been conducted and completed
in accordance with the soils remedial design plans and specifications; a punch list of additional
work items was not needed.
11
-------
The second phase of the work performed pursuant to fhe CD consisted of the groundwater
investigation and feasibility study. Since the decision was made during the soils RA that all
PCBs in excess of 100 ppm would be removed, the Sgoils RA acted as a source removal for the
groundwater contamination. Upon completion of the thermal desorption activities, the existing
groundwater monitoring wells were sampled on a quarterly basis for about 2 years. During this
time, non-invasive investigations were performed to bitter define the joint patterns within the
bedrock. The purpose of the non-invasive work was an attempt to get data to formulate a model
of the underlying bedrock. This was made extremely difficult by the fact that the bedrock below
the site is karst; solution features have been carved in the bedrock by the groundwater. It is veiy
difficult, if not impossible, to track contaminants within karst bedrock. A model of the bedrock
was created. Additional monitoring wells were installed at those locations most likely to be
contaminated. These wells, along with the original wells, were monitored for 4 quarters.
Groundwater data was analyzed and the decision was made that additional monitoring wells were
needed near the northern edge of the wetland avea. Three (3) nests of wells were installed. All
monitoring wells were sampled quarterly for another year. Chlorinated compounds were
detected in the samples from the wetland wells. Two (2) more sets of nested wells were
installed farther south and west in the wetland area. A third set of nested wells were planned to
monitor groundwater east of the wetland area. These wells were not installed due to lack of
alluvium in this area, A focused remedial investigation and feasibility study werewas then
submitted to EPA.
The EPA and the State of Missouri have determined that all work identified in the CD,
with the exception of implementation of institutional controls, were performed according to
specifications and approved work plans. AThe EPA anticipates that a ROD amendment will be
issued in he near future that will addresses the groundwater and deleting the requirement for
institutional controls fi«r the soil. (PCB-contamination left on-site and at depth does not
represent an unacceptable risk; therefore institutional controls am not needed.)
System Operation/Operation and Maintenance
Representatives of the MEWSTD conducted the monitoring and maintenance activities
with regard to the vegetative cover over the treated soils. About a year after constructing the cap,
a site visit was made to observe the condition of the cap, identify any erosional features and
assess the success of vegetating the cap. Several erosion rills were identified and filled, new
grass seed was planted and erosion barriers (rock-filled gabbions) woe erected along the eastern
-most edge of the site. ^

Document Review
This five-vear rFive-Year Review consisted of a review of relevant documents including
the Remedial Action report and groundwater monitoring data-:^ Applicable clean-up standards
(as listed in the 1990 ROD) were also reviewed. New policy and guidance documents for risks
posed by PCBs, both human health and ecological, were also reviewed. The documents
reviewed are listed in Attachment 4.
Data Review
Remedial Action Report
All soils contaminated with PCBs at concentrations in excess of 10 ppm were to be
excavated and treated. Approximately 38,000 tons of PCB-contaminaled soil were excavated
and thermally treated during the soil remedial action. Confirmation composite samples were
collected within 143 50' x 50' grids. =The average PCB concentration for the confirmation
samples was 1.6 ppm; the mean PCB concentration was 0.7 ppm.
Groundwater Investi gatKffl
Groundwater monitoring, as part of the focused groundwater investigation, has been
conducted at the MOW site since June 2000. No new groundwater monitoring wells were
installed at the MEW site for approximately 2 years following the soil remedial action. The
purpose of the monitoring was to gather data sufficient to evaluate the impact of the PCB source
removal on groundwater quality.
Groundwater samples were analyzed for the following compounds: 1,1,1 -Triehloroethane
(1,1,1-TCA), Trichlorethene (TCE), Perchlorethene (PCE), 1,1-Dichloroethane (1,1-DCA), 1,1-
Dichloroethene (1,1-DCE), 1,2-Dichloroethene(I,2-DCE>, Benzene, Chlorobenzene, Toluene,
Chloroform, 1,2,4-Trichlorobenzene (1,2,4-TCB), 1,2-Dichlorobenzene (1,2-DCB), 1,3-
Dichlorobenzene (1,3-DCB), 1,4-Dichlorobenzene (1,4-DCB), Butyl benzyl phthalate, Di-n-butyl
phthalate, Bis(2-ethylhexyl phthalate, PCB unfiltered., and PCBs filtered (see Tables A-1 to A-14
in Attachment 6). Where detected, the concentrations of the these parameters have decreased or
remained constant, indicating that the majority of the source material was successfully removed.
The following contaminants were detected at or above the maximum contaminant levels (MCL)
as promulgated under the foderalJi^Mnldng Water Act. Public Law 104-182: TCE, PCE,
Benzene, Chlorobenzene, and PCBs (unfiltered).
Ecological Risk Assessment Guidance
14
-------
FiiialThe EPA issued guidance for Ccologicalgn^g^^fl]ggj^[ Risk Assessment and
Risk Management Principles for Superfund Sites wis issued" fOSWER Directive 9285.7-28 P)
gn October 7,1999s. This documenteuidance states *¥«that "Ms the Superfund program has
matured, it has given more and more consideration to the potential effects of hazardous
substances releases on ecological receptors."
Information regarding the potential toxicity and Mo-accumulation ofPCBs in the food
chain has increased significantly since the ROD was writtenissued in September 1990. There is
concern that the PCB concentrations that remain at the site, particularly in the wetland area,
could represent an ecological threat. Insufficient data is available to perform an ecological risk
assessment
Site Inspection
Inspections at the site were conducted on December 11,2003 by the RPM and during
April 2004 by MDNR representatives. The purpose of the inspections was to assess the
protectiveness of the soil remedial action and to assess the completeness of the groundwater
investigation. The area addressed by the soil remedial action was inspected to assess the integrity
of the cap, the completeness of the vegetative cover, and the stability of the erosion features. The
vegetative cover was well established. There is some erosion that is still occurring along the
eastern edge of the site. The majority of the erosion has been halted by placing rock-filled
gabbions in the erosion features. The cap appears to be intact. The pair of red-tailed hawks are
still nesting in the trees along the eastern perimeter of the site.
The inspection related to groundwater was conducted to ensure that the rate and extent of
contamination, the groundwater flow direction and the groundwater heads were identified for the
remedial investigation and feasibility study.
No institutional controls were placed on the areas addressed by the soil remedial action.
The soils were excavated to PCB-concentrations less than 10 ppm. The ROD identified leaving
PCBs at concentrations of up to 100 ppm at depths below 4 feet. Since no PCB concentrations at
depth exceeded 100 ppm, the need for deed restrictions for soil contamination no longer existed.
Interviews
Interviews were conducted with some parties connected to the site. No significant
problems regarding the site were identified during the interviews.

-------
The review of documents indicates that the soil remedial action is functioning as intended
by the ROD and ESD. However, due to the discovery of PCBs in the groundwater, at depth, no
remedial action has been taken to address the threat posed by groundwater. Since no remedial
action for groundwater has been implemented, the remedy is not functioning as intended by the
ROD and ESD.
toxicity data, cleanup levels, and
remedial action objectives (RAOs) used at the time of the remedy selection still valid?
The exposure assumptions for human health remain valid. The toxicity data and cleanup
levels for PCBs have not changed much; although there is more data on reproductive toxicity for
PCBs now than there was in 1990. The RAOs for the soil cleanup remain valid.
Changes in Standards To Be Considered
The estimate of ecological risk has been formalized since 1990 when the ROD was
si micd issued. PCBs bio-accumulate and bio-magnify in the food chain. Screening levels for
PCBs are quite low. A formal ecological risk assessment should be performed at the site to
evaluate: the threat, if any. posed by the PCBs. Unacceptable ecological risks will need to be
addressed and/or managed.
Changes in Exposure Pathways, Toxicity, and Other Contaminant Characteristics
PCBs, chlorobenzene, PCE, benzene and TCE was detected in the groundwater within
the area identified as the site. All five contaminants were detected at concentrations above State
and Federal MCLs. The presence of these contaminants in the groundwater needs to be
addressed.
The exposure assumptions used to develop the soils portion of the -Human Health Risk
Assessment included both current and future exposures (child recreational, child residential,
adult recreational, adult residential and adult worker). There have been no changes in the
toxicity factors for the contaminants of concern that were used in the Human Health Risk
Assessment. These assumptions are considered to be conservative and reasonable in evaluating
the human health risk and developing human health risk-based cleanup levels. No changes to
these assumptions, or the cleanup levels developed from them is warranted to protect human 3j
health. c? £
Baseline Risk Assessment now includes human health and ecological risk assessment.
Ecological risk was not estimated in 1990. Investigation of the wetland soils, sediments, surface ^ 3
water and soils within about 4 feet of the ground surface need to be sampled and analyses m
performed to evaluate the risk, if any, to the environment posed by the site.
16
-------
Question C: Mas am other information come to lieht that could call into question the
protectiveness of the remedy?
Several karst features were detected at, near or below the site after the ROD was
wrrttrmssued. Two (2) sink-holes were found; one off-site and the other near the location of
MW-3, MW-5 and MW-11 A. During the installation ofMW-11A, subsurface voids (solution
features) were encountered at depths of 110 feet below ground surface (bgs), 220 feet bgs and
315 feet bgs. TMs information may result in the groundwater remedial action, selected in 1990,
being impractical to implement
Technical Assessment Summary
According to the data reviewed, the site inspection and the interviews, the soil remedy is
functioning as intended by the ROD, as modified by the BSD. The groundwater remedy has not
been implemented. There have been no changes in the physical conditions of the site that would
affect the protectiveness of the soil remedy. The ARARs for soil contamination cited in the ROD
have been met. There have been no changes in the toxicity factors for the contaminants of
concern that were used in the Human Health Risk Assessment; there has been no change in the
standardized risk assessment methodology for human health. There has been a change in the
standardized methodology for ecological risk; this could impact the protectiveness of the remedy.
New groundwater data has been collected. Modification to the ROD will be needed to address
the groundwater conditions that have been detected. Risk posed by groundwater still exists.

X- Protectiveness Statement
The soil remedy is protective of human health. The groundwater portion of the remedy
has not been implemented. The groundwater could represent a risk to human health through
ingestion or inhalation. New standards have been instituted for ecological protectiveness since
the ROD was wrttteni||usd. Additional work rmcdsshould to be performed to determine whether
or not there is an ecological risk.
Additional sampling and monitoring of the groundwater will be performed to evaluate the
migration of die contaminant plume below the wetland area and to evaluate the potential of
natural attenuation of the contaminants of concern. An investigation will be performed to gather
the data necessary for the Ecological Risk Assessment. A determination will be made after the
Ecological Risk Assessment is complete whether or not additional actions will be required for
protectiveness of the environment
