I. INTRODUCTION
The purpose of a five-year review (FYR) is to evaluate the implementation and performance of a remedy
to determine if the remedy is and will continue to be protective of human health and the environment.
The methods, findings and conclusions of reviews are documented in FYR reports such as this one. In
addition, FYR reports identify issues found during the review, if any, and document recommendations to
address them.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is preparing this FYR pursuant to the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) Section 121, consistent with the
National Contingency Plan (NCP) (40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Section 300.430(f)(4)(ii)),
and considering EPA policy.
This is the fifth FYR for the Carolawn, Inc. Superfund site (the Site). The triggering action for this
statutory review is the previous FYR. The FYR has been prepared because hazardous substances,
pollutants or contaminants remain at the Site above levels that allow for unlimited use and unrestricted
exposure (UU/UE).
The Site consists of two operable units (OUs). OU1 is a 3-acre area completely enclosed by a chain-link
fence and the areal extent of all groundwater contamination beneath the Site. OU2 is an undeveloped
wooded area to the north and west of the fenced area of OU1. OU2 includes the soils, surface water and
sediment in Fishing Creek. This FYR addresses both OUs.
EPA remedial project manager (RPM) Yvonne Jones led the FYR. Participants included EPA
community involvement coordinator (CIC) Kerisa Coleman, Joel Padgett from the South Carolina
Department of Health and Environmental Control (SCDHEC), Jeff Ahrens from potentially responsible
party (PRP) contractor Geosyntec, and Kelly MacDonald and Johnny Zimmerman-Ward from Skeo
(EPA FYR support contractor). The PRP was notified of the initiation of the FYR. The review began on
11/13/2017.
Site Background
The 60-acre site is located at 5093 Morrison Road in Fort Lawn, Chester County, South Carolina (Figure
1). From 1970 to 1979, a waste storage and disposal facility operated at the Site. Operations disposed of
about 4,500 drums of waste, several bulk storage tanks and sludge in the Site's 3-acre fenced area.
Additionally, operations disposed of 660 drums and 11 storage tanks outside the fenced area in the
northern portion of the Site.
Current site features include a former groundwater treatment building, monitoring wells, a fence and
signage. Rural and agricultural areas surround much of the Site. The Lancaster & Chester Railroad and
County Road 841 border the Site to the south. Providence Fish & Game (a hunting club) and Fishing
Creek border the Site to the east. The Circle S Ranch borders the Site to the west. There are several
residences southwest of the Site. The fenced OU1 area is not currently in use; the hunting club hunts on
some areas of OU2. The club also maintains several structures near the Site for storage and hunting-
related purposes and club members temporarily park recreational vehicles (RVs) in this area; they do not
have any drinking water wells on site.
1
-------
Groundwater beneath the Site occurs along joint/fracture planes in the bedrock, forming a bedrock
aquifer. Groundwater flow is generally northeast and southeast toward Fishing Creek. Fishing Creek
forms a hydraulic boundary to the northeast, east and southeast of the Site and is the discharge location
for site groundwater. The four residences that previously used private wells in the area about 1,000 yards
southwest of the Site were provided an alternative water source in 1985. They were connected to the
Chester Metropolitan Sanitary District.
Appendix A provides a list of references used during this FYR. Appendix B provides detailed site status
information. Appendix C provides a chronology of site events.

II. RESPONSE ACTION SUMMARY
Basis for Taking Action
The PRP, the Carolawn Steering Committee (CSC), performed a remedial investigation and feasibility
study (RI/FS) for OU1 in 1989. It identified volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and lead in
groundwater as the only contaminants of concern (COCs) with the potential to pose unacceptable risk
for human consumption (Table 1). Former waste storage drums and tanks were identified as the source
of these COCs.
Based on the results of the 1994 RI and baseline risk assessment for OU2, the EPA determined that
surface and subsurface soils, surface water, and sediment in Fishing Creek did not pose unacceptable
risks to the public or the environment. Therefore, a FS and a remedial action for OU2 were not
warranted.
Response Actions
The Carolawn Company abandoned the site property in 1980. SCDHEC and the EPA conducted site
investigations during the early 1980s. Due to the elevated levels of site contamination, the EPA removed
contaminated soils, drums and liquid waste at the Site from December 1981 to February 1982. The EPA
proposed the Site for listing on the Superfund program's National Priorities List (NPL) in December
1982. The EPA finalized the Site's listing on the NPL in September 1983. At least one local residential
well showed persistently high levels of VOCs, so the EPA extended the Chester Metropolitan Sanitary
District's water main to four residences near the Site in 1985. In May 1985, the CSC entered into an
Administrative Order on Consent (AOC) to conduct a removal action that included removing storage
tanks, disposing of tank contents, and excavating and disposing of contaminated soils. The CSC
conducted the removal action in 1986.
In September 1989, the EPA issued an OU1 Record of Decision (ROD), which included the following
remedial action objectives (RAOs):
• Prevent the near-term and future exposure of human receptors to contaminated groundwater both
on and off site.
• Restore the contaminated aquifer for future use by reducing contaminant levels to those which
will adequately protect human health and the environment.
• Control contaminant migration so contaminant releases from groundwater to Fishing Creek do
not exceed cleanup criteria for human health and the environment.
• Monitor groundwater in a manner to verify effectiveness of remedial measures.
• Confirm the absence or presence of soil contamination in the storage area north of the fenced
area (OU2).
The OU1 remedy included the following components:
• Migration Control - Remediation of Contaminated Groundwater
o Installation of a groundwater interception and extraction system at the Site.
¦ The remedy provided three water discharge alternatives for the treated
groundwater: 1) the local sewer system; 2) Fishing Creek via a National Pollution
Discharge Elimination System permit or; 3) on-site irrigation,
o Implementation of appropriate institutional controls.

-------
o Plugging and abandonment of the adjacent contaminated private potable wells by Chester
County.
• Source Control - Remediation of Contaminated Soils
o Installation of confirmatory soil borings in the disposal area north of the fenced area to
verify the presence or absence of contamination and, if present, address cleanup of this
contamination in another ROD.1
• General Site Cleanup Activities
o Inspection, sampling and disposal of two inactive incinerators and two remaining drums.
Cleanup goals selected for groundwater are included below in Table 1.

chemical/physical characteristics with other contaminants present, the levels will decrease
proportionally along with the other contaminants.
To address the soils located beyond OU1, the EPA conducted RI activities for OU2 and issued a ROD
for OU2 in 1995. The 1995 OU2 ROD selected a "no action" remedy due to the absence of any
significant source of contamination in soil, surface water and sediment at the Site. The ROD stated that
should future monitoring of the Site indicate the presence of unacceptable risk to the environment, then
the EPA may initiate cleanup actions.
Status of Implementation
From December 1991 to May 1992, CSC contractors closed at least three residential wells (which were
no longer in use). The groundwater extraction and treatment system (GWETS) was installed from
December 1995 to June 1996. GWETS operation began in October 1996 and ended in July 2004 when
CSC shut down the GWETS, removed pumps and decommissioned the system. During operation, the
system extracted about 19.2 million gallons of groundwater and 16 kilograms of VOCs from the bedrock
VOC plume. It was estimated that the GWETS would have had to operate for at least another 62 years to
achieve MCLs, due to the low yield of the bedrock formation. Therefore, the EPA and SCDHEC
recommended a system optimization study to consider other remedial technologies to address
groundwater contamination.
1 No source of contamination remained within the fenced area of the Site due to earlier removal actions.
. 5
-------
In 2005, the CSC conducted a pilot study to evaluate enhanced in-situ biodegradation (EISB) as a
remedial option, which involved the injection of a soy-oil based product known as Newman Zone to
promote accelerated biodegradation of VOCs. Post-injection monitoring data indicated biodegradation
occurred. However, these conditions were not widespread, and biodegradation slowed at individual
locations due to insufficient transport away from the injection boreholes. In addition, the plume extent
and VOC concentrations did not change significantly in response to the EISB in the bedrock aquifer.
The 2008 FYR Report recommended further evaluation of remedial technologies.
In March 2009, the EPA issued a modified Unilateral Administrative Order (UAO) to the CSC that
required a focused feasibility study (FFS) to identify a groundwater remedy besides the GWETS. In
August 2010, the CSC conducted a soil vapor extraction (SVE) pilot study to evaluate it as a potential
interim remedial measure. The study indicated SVE was a feasible approach to reduce VOC mass in the
subsurface (vadose zone), which could result in reduced VOC concentrations in groundwater. Following
discussions with SCDHEC, the CSC and the Community Advisory Group, the EPA approved
construction of the SVE system, which finished in January 2012. The SVE system was intended to
operate until VOC recovery reached a point of diminishing returns and sufficient data were collected to
complete the FFS. The SVE system operated until June 2014, when it was shut down due to a continued
decrease in VOC mass removal and asymptotic VOC mass removal rates. About 160 pounds of VOC
mass were removed during SVE system operation. SVE system well and piping abandonment activities
took place in July 2016.
The CSC submitted a revised FFS in 2016, which provided an update of site conditions based on
remedial actions conducted to date and evaluated potential OU1 remedial technologies. Several
technologies were evaluated, including monitored natural attenuation (MNA) and enhanced permeability
with groundwater extraction/treatment or with in-situ biological treatment, among others. The EPA,
SCDHEC and CSC are currently discussing the remedial options with plans to discuss the remedial
options with members of the community in the coming months. The EPA will consider input from all
parties prior to selecting a new remedy for the Site and amending the 1989 ROD.
Institutional Control (IC) Review
The 1989 OU1 ROD required institutional controls at the Site, but ICs have not yet been implemented
due to the lack of a viable property owner willing to execute and record institutional controls. The
defunct Carolawn Company is still listed as the property owner. The CSC, SCDHEC and the EPA have
agreed on draft restrictive covenants; they allow no use of OU1, permit only commercial or industrial
land use in areas outside of OU1 on the site parcel, require maintenance of site remedial features,
preclude disturbance of soil below the top 12 inches without regulatory approval, and restrict
groundwater use. Figure 2 includes site and nearby parcels that may require institutional controls,
particularly due to contaminated groundwater.

Systems Operations/Operation and Maintenance (O&M)
The PRPs' contractor routinely inspects the Site to document the general condition of the facility and
security of the building and equipment. The contractor also cuts the grass near the former groundwater
treatment building every other week during the growing season. The PRPs' contractor monitors
groundwater semiannually.
The 1989 ROD estimated O&M costs for the GWETS remedy, which is no longer active. The SVE
system was installed in 2012 and operated for about 30 months at a cost of $750,000. Since 2013, the
PRP has spent approximately $1.1M to conduct groundwater monitoring, conduct fate and transport
modeling, meet with and respond to comments from regulatory agencies, and prepare the revised FFS
and biennial groundwater reports. $220K is the annual O&M costs for each year (2013 through 2017).

The remedy at the Carolawn Site is protective in the short term since there is no complete
exposure pathway to contaminated groundwater and the groundwater extraction and treatment
remedy was functioning as intended by the 1989 ROD. For the remedy to be protective in the
long term, the following actions should occur:
• An appropriate decision document should be prepared to add vinyl chloride, 1,2-
dichloroethane and tetrachloroethene to the list of cleanup goals to be addressed at this
Site.
• Determine the appropriate institutional controls to restrict groundwater use at the Site.
• Evaluate the need for ICs restricting groundwater use on residential properties
adjacent to the Site.
• Continue to evaluate available groundwater treatment technologies to determine
whether such technologies would be more effective than the GWETS in efficiently
restoring the contaminated aquifer. If another alternative is preferred, a decision
document will be issued for the Carolawn Site.

IV. FIVE-YEAR REVIEW PROCESS
Community Notification, Community Involvement and Site Interviews
Two public notices were made available by newspaper posting in the News and Reporter on 2/16/2018
and 2/21/2018 (Appendix D). They stated that the FYR was underway and invited the public to submit
any comments to the EPA; they also shared the two site repository addresses. The results of the review
and the report will be made available at the Site's information repositories, Lancaster County Library,
located at 313 South White Street in Lancaster, South Carolina, and Chester County Public Library,
located at 100 Center Street in Chester, South Carolina.
During the FYR process, interviews were conducted to document any perceived problemsor successes
with the remedy that has been implemented to date. The interviews are summarized below. Completed
interview forms are included in Appendix E.
While overall bedrock groundwater VOC concentrations are stable or decreasing at the source zone, Joel
Padgett of SCDHEC noted that bedrock VOC concentrations at downgradient monitoring wells are not
decreasing. As the downgradient wells are located immediately upgradient of Fishing Creek and
contaminant transport through bedrock is poorly understood, Mr. Padgett expressed concern regarding
the potential for groundwater contaminant flux into the creek. He also noted that downgradient extent of
groundwater contamination is undefined. As a prerequisite for future remedy development, SCDHEC
recommends assessment of groundwater transport in bedrock and of the groundwater-to-surface water
pathway. While the risk of exposure to contaminated groundwater is minimal, Mr. Padgett noted that
finalization of the Site's groundwater use restrictions is needed to prevent unacceptable exposure in the
future. SCDHEC is not aware of any site-related complaints, changes in projected site land use or
changes in state law that might affect the protectiveness of the Site's future remedy.
10
-------
Jeff Ahrens from PRP contractor Geosyntec stated that the SVE system appears to have been an
effective interim remedial measure. Based on groundwater monitoring data and groundwater flow and
transport modeling, Geosyntec recommends MNA to address remaining groundwater contamination.
Evaluations have shown that TCE and DCE concentrations in groundwater near Fishing Creek are
expected to attenuate to concentrations below their respective MCLs within about 30 years. Mr. Ahrens
noted that Geosyntec submitted a Groundwater Sampling Technique Comparison Report to the EPA in
2014. The purpose of the report was to evaluate alternative groundwater sampling techniques to provide
high-quality data while reducing field efforts required in data collection and reducing the volume of
investigation derived wastes generated. Based on the study findings, and with the EPA's approval,
Geosyntec started using passive diffusion bags to sample site groundwater in 2014. Mr. Ahrens stated
that there have been no unexpected O&M difficulties in the last five years and that routine O&M
inspections and activities ensure that the Site remains secure and well maintained.
The EPA also spoke with a resident who indicated that she has lived in the area for about 64 years and is
very familiar with the Site. She said the EPA has done an amazing job at the Site. She stated that she has
not spoken with anyone regarding the Site and feels that many are not aware of its existence. This
resident recommended that the EPA retain both repositories and continue to publish notices in the local
paper.
Data Review
Groundwater monitoring conducted during this FYR was intended to verify the effectiveness of
remedial measures. Surface water was not sampled, but estimated surface water concentrations were
calculated based on groundwater concentrations.
Groundwater
Groundwater is currently monitored semiannually for VOCs. The wells are shown on Figure 3. Several
wells are paired, with B wells having shallower well screens. The VOCs sampled that have exceeded
MCLs from October 2004 to March 2018 include 1,2-DCA, 1,1-DCE, cis-l,2-DCE, methylene chloride,
tetrachloroethylene (PCE), 1,1,2-TCA, TCE and vinyl chloride; several of these VOCs are not official
COCs. Several groundwater COCs are no longer sampled for as they were detected below cleanup goals,
including acetone, 1,1-DCA, transrl,2-DCE, 1,1,1-TCA and lead. Groundwater monitoring data from
2004 to 2018 are included in Attachment 1 in Appendix H. The three most prevalent contaminants in
groundwater at the Site are TCE, cis-l,2-DCE and 1,1-DCE. Concentrations of these contaminants by
well from 2011 to 2018 are shown in Attachment 5 of Appendix H.
Current plumes are shown in Figure 3. Groundwater flow is generally to the east in the western portion
of the Site, and to the northeast and southeast toward Fishing Creek in the eastern portion of the Site.
Therefore, plumes generally extend from the Site east toward the creek. See Attachment 7 in Appendix
H for a potentiometric surface and flow map. The plumes in areas between the creek and Site are
inferred due to a lack of wells. The extent of the 5 micrograms per liter (jag/L) TCE plume has remained
about the same over the last five years, but the extent of the 100 (ig/L TCE plume has decreased.
Concentrations in some wells have increased, including MW-13 (from 16.5 |ag/L in 2013 to 127 (ig/L in
2018) and MW-4 (from 46.5 [Xg/L in 2013 to 79.5 [ig/L in 2018). Several wells with TCE concentrations
over 100 (ig/L have decreased in the last five years, including MW-06 (from 535 |ig/L in 2013 to 98.3
|ig/L in 2018) as well as MW-5, MW-12 and MW-14. Concentrations in downgradient wells near the
creek have decreased. Concentrations in monitoring well MW-1 IB were above the TCE MCL in 2013
11
-------
but below the MCL in 2018, while 2018 concentrations in MW-1 OA/1 OB and MW-11A continue to
exceed the MCL. See a comparison of the 2013 and 2018 TCE plumes in Attachment 2 of Appendix H.
The extent of the 70 (ig/L cis-l,2-DCE plume has decreased in the last five years, with concentrations no
longer present above MCLs in the southeast area near wells MW-14, MW-11A and MW-1 IB. The
plume continues to extend to the creek to the northeast at MW-10A/10B. Concentrations have increased
in MW-10A from 2013 (62.5 ng/L) to 2018 (72.9 ng/L). See a comparison of the 2013 and 2018 cis-1,2-
DCE plumes in Attachment 3 of Appendix H.
The 1,1 -DCE plume in 2013 consisted of two monitoring wells, MW-16 and MW-17, that exceeded the
MCL of 7 |J.g/L. In 2018, 1,1-DCE concentrations have decreased to below the MCL in MW-17. At
MW-16, the 2018 concentration only slightly exceeded the MCL at 8.7 |ig/L. See a comparison of the
2013 and 2018 1,1-DCE plumes in Attachment 3 of Appendix H.
Vinyl chloride was detected above the MCL of 2 jag/L during this FYR period in several wells in which
it was not historically detected (i.e., MW-17, MW-11 A, MW-1 IB and MW-10A). The maximum
detection during this FYR period was 11.3 |ig/L in September 2013 in MW-06. The highest detection in
the most recent sampling event (March 2018) was 3.2 [ig/L in MW-10A.
Trend graphs for concentrations of TCE, cis-l,2-DCE and 1,1-DCE in the source area (MW-5, MW-6
and MW-12) are available in Attachment 6 of Appendix H. As seen in these graphs, concentrations of
these contaminants have overall decreased in the last five years.
Generally, groundwater contamination at the Site has decreased since the GWETS and particularly since
the operation of the SVE system from 2012 to 2014. However, contamination remains above MCLs for
several VOCs, which is why the EPA, the PRP and SCDHEC are continuing to discuss additional
remedial options.
Surface Water
Groundwater concentrations were above MCLs for several contaminants during the most recent
sampling event in wells next to the creek (MW-1 OA, MW-10B and MW-11 A). The PRP contractor
states that groundwater concentrations are below levels that would impact surface water in the creek
above EPA Water Quality Criteria (WQC) for human health. To verify this conclusion with current data,
the surface water concentration was predicted by applying a dilution factor (from the 2004 Remedial
System Evaluation and Final Action Plan) to the maximum detected concentrations from wells MW-
10A, MW-10B and MW-11A in March 2018. The dilution factor represents the VOC groundwater
discharge attenuation in the creek. These estimated surface water concentrations were compared to their
WQC (or the MCL if no WQC exists). All estimated surface water concentrations were less than their
regulatory standards. However, concentrations for cis-l,2-DCE and vinyl chloride have an increasing
trend (which is to be expected, as these contaminants are breakdown products of TCE). The highest
concentration of TCE in a well near the creek was observed in 2011 in MW-10B; concentrations have
declined in that well since then but have fluctuated and remained between 61.9 |j.g/L and 116 |j.g/L in the
last five years. Monitoring should continue to evaluate if increasing groundwater contaminant trends
could impact the creek in the future.

Site Inspection
The site inspection took place on 2/22/2018. Participants included EPA RPM Yvonne Jones, EPA CIC
Kerisa Coleman, Dionne Brown McDougal from the EPA, Sara MacDonald and Ben Jumper from
SCDHEC, Jeff Ahrens from PRP contractor Geosyntec, and Johnny Zimmerman-Ward and Kelly
MacDonald from Skeo (EPA FYR support contractor). The purpose of the inspection was to assess the
protectiveness of the remedy. The site inspection checklist and photographs are included in Appendices
F and G, respectively.
The site inspection began with a tour of the former groundwater treatment building; this system is no
longer used, but the building was locked, and the area was secured with a fence. The fence had a "no
trespassing" sign and a sign identifying the Site as a Superfund site. There was no evidence of
trespassing in this area. The group then walked through the Site and visited monitoring wells, which
were generally in good condition. The group also visited Fishing Creek at the northeastern part of the
Site. There was evidence of illegal dumping of household waste (e.g., insulation) in this area.
The group walked through the wooded area of the Site, on to the adjacent hunting club property. The
hunting club cabin burned down in the last five years; the club has since rebuilt and currently has at least
three structures on their property. The RVs of several hunting club members were parked adjacent to the
Site, and two of their buildings are in this area. One is raised about 15 feet off the ground, and one is on
the ground behind the raised building. The third building is northeast of this area and is used for storage
and hunting-related purposes. The hunting club has a no trespassing sign and a gate at Morrison Road
that limits access.
Skeo staff visited the Site's two information repositories, the Lancaster and Chester County libraries.
Lancaster County Library included the Site's Administrative Record and documents as recent as the
2003 FYR Report. Chester County Library had no site documents available.
V. TECHNICAL ASSESSMENT
QUESTION A: Is the remedy functioning as intended by the decision documents?
Question A Summary:
The OU2 no action remedy is functioning as intended. Historical removal actions, including removal of
contaminated soil and drums, addressed contamination in this area. However, additional action for OU2
may be required due to updated toxicity standards; see Question B for more detail.
The OU1 remedy is partially functioning as intended. Removal actions addressed contaminated soil for
OU1. The GWETS operated from 1996 to 2004 and treated millions of gallons of groundwater.
However, the system as operated was predicted to be unable to reach MCLs in a timely manner. The
EISB and SVE pilot studies both reduced contaminant mass, but VOC contamination in groundwater
persists. The CSC completed the revised FFS in 2016. The EPA, SCDHEC and CSC are currently
working together to select a final remedy to address residual groundwater contamination. The EPA will
then issue a decision document that will formally require the new remedy.
Groundwater data currently indicate that there are no impacts to surface water in Fishing Creek above
WQC. However, monitoring should continue to evaluate if increasing groundwater contaminant trends
could impact the creek in the future.
15
-------
The 1989 ROD required institutional controls, which have not been implemented due to the lack of a
viable property owner. The institutional controls are in draft form and will be recorded once there is a
viable owner.
Groundwater contamination also extends beyond the site boundary, but there are no known uses of this
groundwater. The EPA is evaluating the need for institutional controls restricting groundwater use on
properties where groundwater contamination is present. Any needed restriction requirements will be
recorded in a decision document.
QUESTION B: Are the exposure assumptions, toxicity data, cleanup levels and RAOs used at the time
of the remedy selection still valid?
Question B Summary:
The RAOs of preventing human exposure to contaminated groundwater, restoring the contaminated
aquifer, preventing migration of contaminated groundwater to Fishing Creek, monitoring groundwater to
evaluate remedial effectiveness, and confirming the absence of soil contamination in OU2 all remain
valid.
The 2013 FYR Report stated that the 1989 ROD did not include vinyl chloride, 1,2-DCA and PCE in the
list of COCs with cleanup goals and recommended including them as COCs in a decision document. In
addition, since the 2013 FYR recommendation, methylene chloride has exceeded its MCL. Several
COCs are also not currently analyzed for in samples. The EPA plans to include appropriate COCs with
cleanup goals when the 1989 ROD is amended.
This FYR evaluated the validity of the Site's groundwater cleanup goals; the goals were based on
proposed or established MCLs, except for acetone. MCLs used for groundwater cleanup goals all remain
the same or less stringent than those selected in the 1989 ROD. See Appendix I for the full Applicable or
Relevant and Appropriate Requirement (ARAR) evaluation. The protectiveness of the acetone
groundwater cleanup goal was evaluated using a screening-level risk evaluation conducted by
comparing the cleanup goal to the EPA's residential tapwater regional screening level (RSL). See the
full screening-level risk evaluation in Appendix J. Based on these evaluations, the groundwater cleanup
goals set in the 1989 ROD remain valid.
The 1989 ROD stated that the rate and level of discharge of contaminants with the groundwater into
Fishing Creek would not surpass the WQC for the COCs. Several WQC have become more or less
stringent since the 1989 ROD (Appendix I). The PRP contractor states that groundwater concentrations
are below levels that would impact surface water in the creek above EPA WQC for human health. To
verify this conclusion with current data, the surface water concentration was predicted by applying a
dilution factor (from the 2004 Remedial System Evaluation and Final Action Plan) to the maximum
detected concentrations from wells MW-10A, MW-10B and MW-11A in March 2018. The dilution
factor represents the VOC groundwater discharge attenuation in the creek. These estimated surface
water concentrations were compared to their WQC (or the MCL if no WQC exists). All estimated
surface water concentrations were less than their regulatory standards. However, concentrations for cis-
1,2-DCE and vinyl chloride have an increasing trend (which is to be expected, as these contaminants are
breakdown products of TCE). The highest concentration of TCE in a well near the creek was observed
in 2011 in MW-10B; concentrations have declined in that well since then but have fluctuated and -
remained between 61.9 ^g/L and 116 (ig/L in the last five years. Due to changes in the WQC since the
1989 ROD, long-term monitoring should use current WQC when evaluating impacts to surface water.
16
-------
Groundwater contaminants at the Site are considered volatile, and vapor intrusion risk evaluations were
conducted as part of this FYR to estimate the potential vapor intrusion risks for current land use. No
unacceptable risk was determined for any current on-site structure. The full evaluations are included in
Appendix K. If additional buildings are built over volatile groundwater contamination, this exposure
pathway should be further evaluated with multiple lines of evidence and risk should be mitigated as
needed.
In addition, 1,1,1-TCA was a COC selected in the 1989 ROD. Historically, 1,4-dioxane was used as a
stabilizer for 1,1,1-TCA. To determine whether 1,4-dioxane is present in site media, the CSC should
sample for 1,4-dioxane in groundwater and take additional action if necessary.
This FYR also evaluated the validity of the toxicity information used to select the Site's OU2 no action
remedy. The historical maximum contaminant concentrations in soil and sediment were evaluated using
a screening-level risk evaluation conducted by comparing the samples' concentrations to the EPA's
current residential soil RSLs. Except for lead, hexavalent chromium and polychlorinated biphenyl
(PCB)-1254, the maximum detected concentrations of contaminants in soil and sediment are within the
EPA's acceptable risk range for cancer risk and below an HQ of 1 for noncancer risk. Though the
maximum exceeded the residential RSL, the average lead surface soil concentration was well below the
RSL, indicating that unacceptable exposure risk from lead is unlikely. Maximum concentrations of
hexavalent chromium and PCB-1254 exceeded residential RSLs and therefore do not allow for UU/UE.
However, this screening is conservative because use of maximum concentrations and residential
exposure assumptions in the assessment may overestimate risk. There is minimal potential exposure, as
this site area is only used by hunters, and a recreational receptor is assumed to be on site less frequently
and for a shorter duration than is assumed in the residential soil RSLs. However, to ensure long-term
protectiveness, the need for institutional controls for soil in OU2 will be evaluated. See the full
screening-level risk evaluation in Appendix J.
QUESTION C : Has any other information come to light that could call into question the protectiveness
of the remedy?
No other information has come to light that could call into question the protectiveness of the remedy.

OTHER FINDINGS
Two additional recommendations were identified during the FYR. These recommendations do not affect
current and/or future protectiveness.
• If additional buildings are built over volatile groundwater contamination, this exposure pathway
should be further evaluated with multiple lines of evidence to determine if mitigation is needed.
• Continue to monitor downgradient monitoring well locations to ensure the current remedy and
the future selected remedy remains protective of Fishing Creek.

&EPA
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 4
Announces the Fifth Five-Year Review for
the Carolawn, Inc., Superfund Site,
Fort Lawn. Cheater County, South Carolina
Purpoae/Objective: The EPA is conducting a Frve-Year Review of the remedy for the
Carolawn, Inc., Superfund site (the Site) In Fort Lawn, South Carolina. The purpose of the
Five-Year Review is to make sure the selected cleanup actions effectively protect human
health and the environment.
'
Site Background: The 60-acre Site includes a 3-acre fenced area and undeveloped
woodlands north of the fenced area. From 1970 to 1979, a waste storage and disposal
faculty operated at the Site. Operations disposed of about 4,500 drums of waste, several
bulk storage tanks and sludge in the Site's 3-acre fenced area. They also disposed of 660
drums and 11 storage tanks outside the fenced area on the northern part of the Site. The
EPA placed the Site on the Superfund program's National Priorities List (NPL) in 1983
because of contaminated groundwater resulting from waste handling operations at the Site
Cleanup Actions: The EPA designated two operable units (OUs) to address the Site's
contamination. OU1 addresses the 3-acre fenced area and groundwater contamination. OU2
addresses soil, surface water and sediment contamination in Fishing Creek. The Carolawn
Steering Committee, the Site's potentially responsible parties (PRPs), leads site investigation
and deanup activities, with oversight provided by the ERA and the South Carolina Department
of Health and Environmental Control (SCDHEC). Cleanup has included removal actions to
address immediate threats to human health and the envionment Actions between 1981 and
1986 removed over 1,000 drums of hazardous waste and several tons of contaminated soil,
addressed contaminated lagoons, and removed 17 storage tanks from tie Site. The ERA also

Carolawn, Inc. Superfund Site Five-Year Review Interview Form
Site Name: Carolawn, Inc. EPA ID No.: SCD980558316
Subject Name: Joel Padgett Affiliation: SCDHEC
Subject Contact padgetip@dhec.sc.gov
Information:
Time: 10:30 a.m. Date: 03/14/2018
Interview Format: Email
Interview Category: State Agency (Carolawn 2018 5YR)
1. What is your overall impression of the project, including cleanup, maintenance and reuse
activities (as appropriate)?
A Soil Vapor Extraction (SVE) system was operated as an Interim Remedial Measure (IRM)
2012 to 2014. The system removed approximately 160 pounds of Volatile Organic
Compounds (VOCs) from unconsolidated sediments and saprolite in the source zone and
limited contaminant flux to the bedrock. Overall bedrock groundwater VOC concentrations
near the source zone are generally stable to decreasing, suggesting that natural attenuation is
occurring. However, bedrock groundwater VOC concentrations at downgradient monitoring
wells MW-10A, MW-10B, MW-11A, and MW-1 IB do not show a downward trend. Since
these wells are located immediately upgradient from Fishing Creek, there appears to be a
potential for groundwater contaminant flux into the creek.
2. What is your assessment of the current performance of the remedy in place at the Site?
Currently, there is no active remedy at the site. A Focused Feasibility Study (FFS) conducted
in 2016 presented Monitored Natural Attenuation (MNA) as a preferred remedy for
groundwater at the site. However, downgradient bedrock VOC concentrations near Fishing
Creek do not show a downward trend and contaminant transport through bedrock is poorly
understood. As a consequence, the contaminant flux to the creek is not known, and the
groundwater contaminant plume is, therefore, undefined.
3. Are you aware of any complaints or inquiries regarding site-related environmental issues or
remedial activities from residents in the past five years?
I am not aware of any complaints or inquiries regarding site-related environmental issues or
remedial activities from residents in the past five years.
4. Has your office conducted any site-related activities or communications in the past five
years? If so, please describe the purpose and results of these activities.
SCDHEC has provided review and comments to EPA and the site contractor regarding
SVE operations, groundwater monitoring reports, and the FFS. SCDHEC has also conducted
site visits and meetings with EPA, the contractor, and the Carolawn Steering Committee to
monitor the status of site remediation. The purpose of SCDHEC's participation in site-related
activities is to provide support to EPA.
5. Are you aware of any changes to state laws that might affect the protectiveness of the Site's
remedy?
Currently there is no active remedy at the site. However, I am not aware of any changes to
state laws that might affect the protectiveness of any future remedy for the site.
E-l
-------
6. Are you comfortable with the status of the institutional controls at the Site? If not, what are
the associated outstanding issues?
Deed restrictions to prohibit groundwater use were drafted in 2015, but have not been
finalized due to the lack of a viable property owner. The restrictions are necessary to prevent
any future risk of exposure to VOCs in the bedrock aquifer. Currently, the risk is
minimal since there are no residents on the Site.
7. Are you aware of any changes in projected land use(s) at the Site?
I am not aware of any changes in projected land use(s) at the Site.
8. Do you have any comments, suggestions or recommendations regarding the management or
operation of the Site's remedy?
Currently there is no active remedy at the site. As a prerequisite for future remedy
development, SCDHEC recommends assessment of groundwater transport in bedrock and
of the potential contaminant flux to Fishing Creek, thereby providing better definition of the
contaminant plume.
9. Do you consent to have your name included along with your responses to this questionnaire
in the FYR report?
Yes.

1, What is your overall impression of the project, including cleanup, maintenance and reuse
activities (as appropriate)?
Overall, groundwater monitoring data suggest that VOC concentrations in groundwater
are generally stable * decreasing, especially in wells which historically had the highest
concentrations of TCE at the Site (MW-05, MW-06 and MW-12). Each of these wells
have shown greater than an order of magnitude reduction in VOC concentrations since
the startup of the soil vapor extraction system (SVE) in 2011, The SVE system
(conducted as an Interim Remedial Measure) proved to be an effective means of VOC
source mass removal at the Site and proved to be a more effective remedial measure than
the previously operated groundwater pump and treat system which was shut down with
regulatory approval in 2004. Approximately 160 pounds (lbs) of VOCs were removed
during the period of SVE system operation (January 2012 through June 2014); for
comparison, the groundwater extraction and treatment system (GWETS) removed
approximately 35 lbs of VOCs during its 7.5 years of operation. As is typical, the mass
removal rate of the SVE system decreased with time doe to the ongoing reduction of
VOC mass in the vadose zone, and for that reason, SVE system operations were ceased
and the system was subsequently abandoned in 2016 with concurrence from EPA.
The removal of VOCs from the vadose zone ill the former source area by the SVE system
has and will continue to result in improvements to groundwater quality over time as
source depletion reduced VOC mass flux into the groundwater. Following source mass
removal, the observed trends over the last five years of groundwater monitoring indicate
that natural attenuation processes also serve an important function in meeting ARARs at
the Site,
2. What is your assessment of the current performance of the remedy in place at tie Site?
The current remedy for the site as stated in the ROD is groundwater extraction and
treatment; however, with Agency approval, the GWETS system was shut down in 2004,
and after a series of interim remedial measures (1RM), the site has been in monitored
natural attenuation (MNA) since mid-2014. Monitoring data collected during this period
indicate that VOCs in groundwater are attenuating naturally.
E-3
-------
The GWETS system was installed in 1996 and operated from 1996 to 2004 at a cost of
$2.1 million. This system removed approximately 35 lbs of VOCs over the 7.5 years of
operation. Site specific characteristics limited the effectiveness of this remedy and the
system was shut down with agency approval in 2004. The Carol awn PRP Group, with
Agency Oversight, has voluntarily conducted a series of interim remedial measures to
further reduce source mass and promote natural attenuation of VOCs remaining in
groundwater. Enhanced in-situ biological treatment was completed in the former source
area from 2004 to 2011 at a cost of $2.2 million. While successful in treating
groundwater in close proximity to the injection points, the radius of influence was limited
by site specific characteristics. As a final interim remedial measure, the PRP Group
installed and operated a soil vapor extraction (SVE) system to treat impacted soils in the
former source area. The system was installed in 2012 and operated for approximately 30
months at a cost of $750,000. The SVE system removed approximately 160 lbs of VOCs
during the period of operation (January 2012 through June 2014). Since mid-2014, the
PRP Group has spent another $600,000 to conduct groundwater monitoring, conduct
Agency-requested fate and transport modeling, meet with the Agencies, and prepare the
Revised Focus Feasibility Study and biennial groundwater reports.
. In conjunction with the observation that VOC concentrations in groundwater are
generally stable or decreasing, the SVE system appears to have been an effective Interim
Remedial Measure (IRM). As indicated in the Revised Focused Feasibility Study (RFFS)
(completed in November 2016), on-going groundwater monitoring activities support that
monitored attenuation would provide the most effective overall protection of human
health and environment and provide compliance with ARARs. MNA is supported by
reducing concentrations of VOCs in individual wells, an overall reduction in the plume
footprint with time, and evidence of intrinsic biodegradation of VOCs (including the
presence of daughter products, as well as methane and ethene production). Additionally,
groundwater flow and transport modeling evaluations showed that TCE and DCE present
in groundwater near Fishing Creek are expected to attenuate to concentrations below their
respective MCL within an approximate 30-year timeframe (and it is noted that some
wells have already shown reductions of VOCs to below MCLs at rates faster than the
model predicted timeframes). An MNA remedy received the highest ranking amongst
remedial alternatives in the RFFS (ranking highest amongst comparable alternatives in
overall protectiveness of human health and the environment; compliance with regulatory
requirements; long-term effectiveness and performance; reduction in toxicity, mobility
and volume; short-term effectiveness; implementability; cost; and sustainability) and is
Geosyntec's recommended alternative to consider in modifying the 1989 ROD.
3. What are the findings from the monitoring data? What are the key trends in contaminant
levels that are being documented over time at the Site?
As described in the 2016-2017 Biennial Groundwater Report (March 2018), groundwater
VOC data collected through September 2017 indicate that the overall extent of the VOC
plume remains relatively stable while VOC concentrations at many wells are showing
decreasing trends. For example, trichloroethene (TCE) concentrations in MW-5, MW-6
E-4
-------
and MW-12 (representing the highest TCE concentrations detected at the site) have
shown a steady decline and a greater than 90% reduction in dissolved-phase TCE from
the period of March 2011 through September 2017. Additionally, cis-l,2-dichloroethene
(cDCE) concentrations have reduced by approximately 80% in MW-6 during this period
and have reduced to concentrations below the MCL in both MW-5 and MW-12.
Additionally, TCE and cDCE concentrations in downgradient wells located in the vicinity
of Fishing Creek (MW-10A, MW-10B, MW-11A and MW-11B) show general stable
conditions with decreasing trends with some seasonal fluctuations during the last five
years of groundwater monitoring. Notably, cDCE has remained below the MCL in wells
MW-10A, MW-11 A, and MW-1 IB and TCE has mostly remained below the MCL in
MW-11A and MW-1 IB. As indicated above, MNA is supported by reducing
concentrations of VOCs in individual wells, an overall reduction in the plume footprint
with time, and evidence of intrinsic biodegradation of VOCs (including the presence of
daughter products, as well as methane and ethene production). Additionally,
groundwater flow and transport modeling evaluations showed that TCE and DCE present
in groundwater near Fishing Creek are expected to attenuate to concentrations below their
respective MCL within an approximate 30-year timeframe (and it is noted that some
wells have already shown reductions of VOCs to below MCLs at rates faster than the
model predicted timeframes).
4. Is there a continuous on-site O&M presence? If so, please describe staff responsibilities and
activities. Alternatively, please describe staff responsibilities and the frequency of site
inspections and activities if there is not a continuous on-site O&M presence.
The Site is inspected on a monthly basis by Geosyntec staff. Inspection activities include
observation of the general condition of the facility and security of the building and
equipment. Additionally, bi-weekly lawn maintenance is conducted during the growing
season.
5. Have there been any significant changes in site O&M requirements, maintenance schedules
or sampling routines since start-up or in the last five years? If so, do they affect the
protectiveness or effectiveness of the remedy? Please describe changes and impacts.
Geosyntec submitted a Groundwater Sampling Technique Comparison Study Report in
March 2014. This Comparison Study Report evaluated alternative groundwater sampling
techniques in an effort to provide high quality data which accurately represent
groundwater quality at the Site, while reducing field efforts required in data collection
and reducing the volume of investigation derived wastes (IDW) generated. The
comparison study consisted of sampling selected Site wells using passive-diffusion bags
(PDBs), low-flow sampling methods, and conventional well-volume sampling to evaluate
groundwater data for comparability. PDB sampling was concluded to be the selected
groundwater sampling technique for the Site, and was approved by the USEPA in a letter
dated 9 June 2014. As such, PDB sampling techniques have been implemented during
each groundwater monitoring event since 2014. The results of PDB sampling have
E-5
-------
demonstrated consistent results and have not affected the protectiveness or effectiveness
of the remedy.
6. Have there been unexpected O&M difficulties or costs at the Site since start-up or in the last
five years? If so, please provide details.
No.
7. Have there been opportunities to optimize O&M activities or sampling efforts? Please
describe changes and any resulting or desired cost savings or improved efficiencies.
During the period of SVE system operation, periodic system optimization of the SVE
system proved to be beneficial in maximizing VOC removal rates, and soil vapor
sampling provided information to direct extraction to the areas of highest VOC
concentrations.
As described above in response to question #5, Geosyntec performed a groundwater
sampling study to compare passive bag diffusion sampler and low-flow sampling
techniques with traditional methods in an effort to continue to provide high quality data
while reducing field efforts required in data collection and reducing the volume of
investigation derived wastes (IDW) generated. The transition to the use of PDBs for
groundwater sampling activities commenced in 2014.
8. Do you have any comments, suggestions or recommendations regarding O&M activities and
schedules at the Site?
In general, significant remedial progress has been achieved at the Site during the past five
years, particularly with respect to the SVE system's removal of VOC source mass from
the vadose zone (i.e., its primary objective as a voluntary IRM), that resulted in reducing
the VOC flux to the groundwater, which has contributed to the observed decreasing
groundwater VOC concentration trends. Based on the removal of VOC source mass and
current groundwater trends observed at the Site, Geosyntec recommends that the results
of the Revised FFS be evaluated, and a modification to the 1989 ROD be considered
which selects MNA as the selected remedy for the Site. 1
9. Do you consent to have your name included along with your responses to this questionnaire
in the FYR report?
Yes.

with a brief statement of what the remedy is designed to accomplish (e.g., to contain contaminant plume,
minimize infiltration and gas emissions).
The groundwater extraction and treatment system removed approximately 35 pounds of VOCs between 1998 and
2004. The PRP contractor performed pilot studies and drafted an FFS to adjust the remedy. EISB performed in
2005 did not affect the overall plume extent. The SVE system removed approximately 160 pounds of VOCs
between 2012 and 2014. The SVE system was decommissioned in 2016. The FFS is in draft form.
B . Adequacy of O&M '
Describe issues and observations related to the implementation and scope of O&M procedures. In particular,
discuss their relationship to the current and long-term protectiveness of the remedy.
The PRP contractor maintains the Site well.
C. Early Indicators of Potential Remedy Problems
Describe issues and observations such as unexpected changes in the cost or scope of O&M or a high frequency of
unscheduled repairs that suggest that the protectiveness of the remedy may be compromised in the future.
A final remedy for groundwater treatment is forthcoming in a future decision document.
D . Opportunities for Optimization
Describe possible opportunities for optimization in monitoring tasks or the operation of the remedy.
None.

APPENDIX I - DETAILED ARARS TABLES
Groundwater ARARs
According to the Site's 1989 ROD, several cleanup goals for groundwater COCs were based on federal
MCLs. As part of this FYR, ARARs in the ROD were compared to current ARARs (Table 1-1). There
have been no changes.

c. Lead is regulated by a treatment technique that requires systems to control the corrosiveness
of their water. If more than 10 percent of tap water samples exceed the action level, water
systems must take additional steps. For lead, the action level is 15 (ig/L.
Hg/L = micrograms per
liter
Surface Water ARARs
The 1989 ROD stated that the rate and level of groundwater discharge of contaminants into Fishing
Creek would not surpass the ambient WQC for the COCs. As part of this FYR, WQC in the ROD were
compared to current standards (Table 1-2). Several WQC have become more or less stringent. Due to
these changes, long-term monitoring should use current WQC when evaluating impacts to surface water.

APPENDIX J - SCREENING-LEVEL RISK REVIEW
Groundwater
The acetone groundwater cleanup goal was based on a lifetime health advisory rather than an ARAR. To
determine the cleanup goal's current validity, a screening-level risk evaluation was conducted by
comparing the acetone groundwater cleanup goal to the EPA's residential tapwater RSL and calculating
a corresponding risk value (Table J-l). The cleanup goal corresponds to a noncarcinogenic HQ of 0.05
(below EPA's threshold value of 1), indicating that this cleanup goal remains valid.

2017 (accessed 3/16/2018).
c. The noncarcinogenic HQ was calculated using the following equation:
HQ = Cleanup goal noncarcinogenic-based RSL.
- = no RSL available/unable to calculate risk.
Hg/L = micrograms per liter
Soil (OU2)
Forty-one surface and nine subsurface soil samples were collected from OU2 during the 1994 RI from
41 grids on and around the Site (Figure J-l). Four sediment samples were collected from Fishing Creek.
The OU2 chemicals of potential concern (COPC) are shown in Table J-2.

a. The current EPA RSLs, dated November 2017, are available at https://www.epa.gov/risk/regional-screening-levels-
rsls-generic-tables-mav-2016 (accessed 4/3/2018).
b. Screening level risk calculations were performed as follows:
cancer risk = (maximum concentration/risk-based RSL) x 1 x 10"6
noncancer hazard index = (maximum concentration/HQ-based RSL)
c. The EPA has no consensus reference dose or cancer slope factor for inorganic lead, so it is not possible to calculate
RSLs as it is for other chemicals. The EPA considers lead to be a special case because of the difficulty in
identifying the classic "threshold" needed to develop a reference dose. The EPA evaluates lead exposure by using
blood-lead modeling, such as the Integrated Exposure-Uptake Biokinetic Model. The EPA Office of Solid Waste
has also released a detailed directive on risk assessment and cleanup of residential soil lead. The directive
recommends that soil lead levels less than 400 mg/kg are generally safe for residential use. Above that level, the
document suggests collecting data and modeling blood-lead levels with the Integrated Exposure-Uptake Biokinetic
Model. For the purposes of screening, therefore, 400 mg/kg is recommended for residential soils.
With the exception of lead, hexavalent chromium and PCB-1254, the maximum detected concentrations
of COPCs in soil and sediment are within the EPA's acceptable risk range for cancer risk and below an
HQ of 1 for noncancer risk. The EPA has updated the lead risk assessment guidance and associated adult
and child lead exposure models several times and as recently as 2017 based on updated toxicity
information released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.2 Based on this new information,
the EPA is in the process of evaluating its lead policy; in the interim, use of the current policy is
recommended until it is formally updated.3 The maximum concentration of lead (430 mg/kg) slightly
exceeds the residential RSL. Generally, the EPA recommends utilizing the average lead concentration
across the Site to assess lead exposure risk. The average lead concentration was 66 mg/kg in surface
soil, 55 mg/kg in surface and subsurface soil combined, and 2 mg/kg in sediment (as calculated from
concentrations provided in Appendix A of the 1995 OU2 ROD). These values are all below the RSL of
400 mg/kg; therefore, unacceptable exposure risk from lead is unlikely.
The maximum concentration of PCB-1254 exceeded the non-cancer RSL of 1.2 mg/kg with a resulting
HQ of 4.5. PCB-1254 was detected in nine soil samples ranging in concentration from 0.028 to 5.4
mg/kg. Two of the nine samples (1-SLA and 4-SLA) contained PCB-1254 concentrations above the
non-cancer RSL. The highest concentration was detected in surface soil sample 1-SLA, which also
contained PCB-1248 and PCB-1260. Soil sampling location 4-SLA (with a concentration of 2.9 mg/kg
PCB-1254) was a surface soil sampling location located in the West Drum Area. See sample locations
below in Figure J-l.

-------
It is unknown whether concentrations of chromium are in the trivalent or hexavalent form, so this
screening level risk evaluation analyzed the maximum chromium concentration against both RSLs.
When compared to the less toxic trivalent chromium, the concentration was below EPA's target HQ of
1. However, when compared to the hexavalent chromium RSLs, the concentration corresponded to
cancer risk above EPA's acceptable risk range and noncancer risk above an HQ of 1. This sample was
from a surface soil sampling location located in the West Drum Area (4-SLA).
Though maximum concentrations of hexavalent chromium and PCB-1254 exceed residential RSLs, this
screening is conservative because use of maximum concentrations in the assessment may overestimate
risk. In addition, residential RSLs were used and this area is not currently used residentially. There is
minimal potential exposure, as this site area is only used by hunters, and a recreational receptor is
assumed to be on site less frequently and for a shorter duration than is assumed in the residential soil
RSLs. However, to ensure long-term protectiveness, the need for institutional controls or additional
remedial actions for soil in OU2 will be evaluated.

APPENDIX K - VAPOR INTRUSION RISK EVALUATION
As part of this FYR, several vapor intrusion screening-level risk evaluations were initially conducted to
evaluate the potential risk presented by this exposure pathway. These assessments were conservative and
included default parameters. The results indicated potentially unacceptable risk in several scenarios. In
response to this, in August 2018 Geosyntec Consultants (a contractor for the CSC) conducted several
vapor intrusion risk evaluations with site-specific information, including details about the exposure
frequency and occupancy of the Site. These evaluations indicated that there is currently no unacceptable
risk from vapor intrusion. The full Geosyntec report is included in the remainder of this appendix.

In response to an email correspondence on 12 July 2018 from Yvonne Jones of the United States
Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) provided as Attachment A, Geosyntec Consultants
Inc. (Geosyntec) has prepared this memo on behalf of the Caralawn Steering Committee (CSC)
to provide Site-specific information for a screening-level risk assessment for vapor intrusion (¥1)
at the Carolawn Superfund Site (Site) in Fort Lawn, South Carolina.
EXISTING BUILDINGS/STRUCTURES AND OCCUPANCY AT THE SITE
At the Site, there are currently 8 building/structures which are illustrated in the photographs
provided below. The attached Figure 1 presents the locations of these buildings/structures
relative to Site-related wells. A general description of each building/structure follows:
• The ground-water extraction treatment system (GWETS) building, located near MW-6, is
a slab-on-grade metal building situated on land formerly occupied by the Carolawn
Company, Inc. This building houses decommissioned groundwater remediation
equipment, and the building is unoccupied (Photograph i);
• An approximately 38-foot (ft) by 24-11 one-story storage garage is located near MW-8 on
hunting club property owned by Furr and Lambert. This building is reportedly used for
storage. It has a garage door, no windows, and is constructed of concrete blocks on a
concrete slab (Photograph 2);
• An approximately 10-ft by 5-ft one-story game shed located on the hunting club property
owned by Furr and Lambert (near MW-13). This building is used for hanging animal
carcasses and is constructed of metal raised above-grade on cinder blocks (Photograph 3);

3) Residential land use with maximum site concentrations from March 2018 to evaluate

The EPA's evaluation estimated carcinogenic risks within the EPA's cancer risk management
range. For most constituents, the nsoenoeer hazard quotient (HQ) estimates were also below the
EPA's threshold value of I. However, the HQ for TCK was above (he threshold value in
scenarios 1 and 3. As discussed below, Geosyntec believes that the assumptions used in EPA's
screening-level evaluation are overly-conservative, since they do not accurately reflect actual
land uses, and therefore the results present an inaccurate depiction of risk for VI at the Site,
GEOSTOTEC* RISK ASSESSMENT OF THE VI PATHWAY
Geosyntec conducted a screening-level risk evaluation of the vapor intrusion pathway using the
EPA VISL calculator in a similar manner as described above for scenarios 1 and 2; however, the
calculator was run using Site-specific knowledge of Site occupancy based on facility usage
provided by the property owner, Mr. Mike Lambert. As such, a commercial Ipai use was
applied, and occupancy exposure frequency in the VISL was changed to 40 days/year, for
buildings/structures located near MW-13 and MW-8, which remains conservative based on the
25 to 30 days/year occupancy rate estimated by Mr. Mike Lambert All other conservative
default assumptions used by EPA, remained the same. The results of the VISL calculator output
for buildings/structures near MW-13 are summarized in Table 1 below, and the results for the
storage building near MW-8 are summarized in Table 2 below. The output of the VISL
calculator tool are presented in Attachment B.

DISCUSSION
As shown is Tables 1 and 2, by adjusting the exposure frequency to be more representative of
flie Site-specific occupancy durations for these buildings/structures, the TCE HQ is reduced in
MW-13 to below the EPA's threshold value of I for buiWingg/structxrcK near MW-13.
Additionally, adjusting the She-specific occupancy frequency for the storage building near MW-
8 further reduces the risk associated with this structure; however, it is notable that EPA's HQ
threshold value of 1 was not exceeded even under the most conservative assumptions applied by
EPA.
It is notable that the assumptions applied in Geosyntec's VISL calculator assessment are
considered very conservative relative to Site conditions. For example, if the groundwater
temperature were changed in the VISL to 22°C, which represents the maximum historical
groundwater temperature at MW-I and MW-13 since 2012, the calculator would produce even
lower values relative to the HQ for these VOCs.
It is also important to consider the completeness of tht potential VI pathways at the Site. As
presented in the Vapor Intrusion Pathway memo submitted for the Site by O'Brien & Gere
Engineers, Inc. (OKJ) in April 2008 (Attachment C), the vapor intrusion pathway at the Site is
incomplete. The VISL calculator assumes a slab-on-grade building construction where poured
concrete foundations are directly in contact with soil gas. Of the buildings at the She, only two
(the raised cabin and the cabin) and/or the RY campers are expected to be occupied structures.
Of the potentially occupied structures, each of these is raised above-grade on cinder blocks or

wheels with a crawl space that is open to the atmosphere, and one is raised approximately 10 feet
above ground level. Therefore, the VI pathway is broken by this air space and application of the
slab-on-grade assumption of the VISL calculator is inappropriate.
Also, as noted in OBG's memo, groundwater at the Site is present in the fractured bedrock,
which is overlain by three vadose zone overburden units. The average depth to groundwater at
MW-8 and MW-13, respectively, is approximately 42 and 55 feet below ground surface (ft bgs)
based on data collected since 2004. The generic model of attenuation within the VISL is
designed for evaluation where the groundwater table is at 5 ft bgs or greater. Substantially
greater attenuation of vapors is likely to occur for this Site, with a groundwater table deeper than
40 ft bgs. Therefore, if a residential building were theoretically constructed on the Site, the risk
calculated by the VISL calculator using default settings may not be appropriate. It is also noted
that land use restrictions (LURs) preventing the construction of residential buildings are part of
the long-term path forward for the Site. The establishment of LURs has been delayed due to the
complications of ownership surrounding the property.

Carolawn Five-Year Review - Clarification of land use near MW-13 and MW-fl
Hello Jeff,
I hope you are doing well. To follow up on our discussion regarding the draft FYR for the Carolawn site, the risk
evaluation for the hunting club structure near MW-13 estimated a noncancer hazard quotient (HQ) forTCE above EPA's
threshold value of 1 using conservative assumptions. I attached photographs of the buildings as well as the Vapor
intrusion summary from the draft FYR. The land use scenarios selected for the VISL Calculator are conservative.
Therefore, It would be helpful to have additional insight on the use of both buildings. If possible, can you contact the
property owners to determine the frequency of use' and type of use for both buildings? for example, is the building
near MW-08 used for storage (only), residential or other land use? Commercial land use was assumed for the building
near MW-13. Is this building used for 250 days or less?
Having site-specific information will ensure we have an accurate assessment of the current site conditions. We have a
little time, for I do not plan to finalize the draft FYR before September 1, 2018.
Please share your thoughts and we will plan accordingly.
Sincerely,
>9.

APPENDIX K- VAPOR INTRUSION SCREENING-LEVEL RISK ASSESSMENT
Groundwater contaminants at the Site are considered volatile. The GWETS building is inactive, but the hunting club has
several structures near the Site used for storage and hunting-related purposes. These two structures are near MW-8 and
MW-13. As part of this FYR, vapor intrusion screening-level risk evaluations were conducted for each well to analyze
this exposure pathway and determine if it poses a concern for these structures. EPA's Vapor Intrusion Screening Level
Calculator was used with its default assumptions and detected volatile contaminant concentrations from the March 2018
sampling event to estimate carcinogenic risk and noncarcinogenic HQs.[li For MW-13, commercial land use was assumed
to be closest to a hunter's exposure (i.e., 250 days of exposure per year with eight hours of exposure per day rafter than
fee use of residential assumptions, which include 350 days per year and 24 hours of exposure per day). This screening-
level evaluation estimates that the cancer risk falls within EPA's cancer risk management range. However, the noncancer
HQ for TCE is above EPA's threshold value of 1. To ensure protectiveness, this exposure pathway at this building should
be further evaluated with multiple lines of evidence. See Table K-l.

An additional site-wide vapor intrusion screening-level risk evaluation was conducted to determine if this potential
exposure pathway poses a future concern if additional occupiable structures are built over the plumes. The EPA's Vapor
Intrusion Screening Level Calculator was used with its default assumptions and maximum detected volatile contaminant
concentrations from the March 2018 sampling event to estimate carcinogenic risk and noncarcinogenic HQs. A residential
scenario was assumed because residential use is not prohibited over the plume. This screening-level evaluation estimates
that the cancer risk falls only slightly above the EPA's cancer risk management range; however, the noncancer HQ for
TCE of 24.5 is above the EPA's threshold value of 1. This screening is conservative, as the maximum detected
concentrations for all contaminants are unlikely to occur in any one location. However, if additional buildings are built
over volatile groundwater contamination, this exposure pathway should be further evaluated with multiple lines of
evidence.

Me: Vapor Intrusion Pathway
File: 3027/34081 (#3)
Date: April 1. 2008
On behalf of the Caralwn Steeling Committee (CSC), O'Bnen & Gere Engineers, Inc. (OBG) has prepared this
memorandum to provide information regarding Vapor Intrusion (VI) Pathway screening for the Carolawn
Superfund Site, located at 5093 Momsan Road, Fort Lawn, Chester County, South Carolina. The information is
presented in advance of the United States Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Third Five Year Review in
August 2008 aid the VI screening component associated with, the Five Year Review process, VI is evaluated for
sites where volatile organic compounds (VOCs) east in soil or ground water beneath inhabitable structures. At
the Carolawn Superfund Site (Site) only one inhabitable structure is present on a parcel underlain by ground water
impacted with VOCs. This structure is located on Ac one-acre parcel (Tax Pared Map No. 146-0-0-16) situated
immediately south of the Site, downgradient of the former waste storage areas. The parcel is owned by Messrs.
Fuir and Lambert; who use the property sporadically throughout the year as a weekend recreational retreat.
Historic remedial actions conducted * Ac Site in the mid-1980s removed VQC imparted soils from the Site, thus
ground miff is tike sole VOC-containmg media from the former watte storage areas. Ground water at the Site is
present only in fractured bedrock, the three overburden units were confirmed to be dry (faring installation of 17
new ground water wells in 2004.
The Fuir and Lamb at property is located approximately 450 feet downgradient of the former waste storage areas.
Average depth to ground water bene A the Furr and Lambert property is estimated to be greater than 50 ft below
ground surface flags). The depth to ground water is based on the historical average (2004 through 2007) of ground
water measurements collected from Site monitoring wells MW-13 and MW 7, which are in the vicinity ofthe Furr
and Lambert property. MW-13 is located approximately 15 ft from the southeastern comer of the building and
MW-7 is located approximately 60 ft north ofthe building. These wells have historical average depths to ground
water of 56.9 and 51.3 ft bgs, respectively. The use of ground water measurements from 2004 to 2007 provides a
sufficient period to represent ground water level variability in the vianity of the Furr and Lambert property.
Based on the information presented above and on ground water monitoring data for 2006 and 2007, a Tier 2
generic vapor intrusion (VI) pathway sereemag (US EPA 2002) was conducted to evaluate the vapor intrusion
pathway for building on the Furr and Lambert property. The results of this evaluation are summarized below.
Tier 2 generic vapor intrusion (VI) pathway stfeentag
The Tier 2 generic vapor intrusion (VI) pathway screening (US EPA 2002) for ground water data in the vicinity of
the Furr and Lambert property indicates the following:
• The matimom measured concentrations of TCE in the past 2 year* exceed the target ground water
concentrstions for 104 rii under the generic EPA modeling conditions (US EPA 2002).

Sito-SocciSc Evaluation of the Vapor Mrasion Pathway
The ooe-story building is appnsmtfcly 45 1 x 28 ft and is wood camtmclkm. pbcod up on concrete block
footings. Because of this type of construction, thoe is * mwkpiee (appro?dmalely 2 ft high) beneath the
building fiat is open to ambient outdoor air. As a result, the crawl space is not confined and toe* not provide
conditions that allow the migration of potential soil vapors into the building above. Because of this design feature,
tho vapor intrusion pathway is incomplete and therefore no farther VI evaluation is required.

factor for vapors migrating from ground water through the vadose zone, and into a building with either skb-on-
gradc or basement construction. Because this model is not capable of calculating an attenuation factor by
accounting for transport of vapan through a crawl space open to outdoor ambient air (nor should it), the ground
water criteria in Tables 2a, 2b, and 2c are not applicable in Ms situation,
