I. INTRODUCTION
The purpose of a Five-Year Review (FYR) is to evaluate the implementation and performance of a
remedy in order 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 United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 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 CFR Section 300.430(f)(4)(ii)), and
considering EPA policy.
This is the fifth FYR for the Central Illinois Public Service (C.I.P.S.) Co. (a.k.a. Ameren) Superfund Site
(Site). The triggering action for this statutory review was the completion of the fourth FYR report. The
FYR has been prepared due to the fact that 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 one (1) Operable Unit (OU), which will be addressed in this FYR. OU1 addresses the soil and
groundwater remedy.
The C.I.P.S. Superfund Site FYR was led by David Linnear, Remedial Project Manager with EPA, in
affiliation with the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA). Participants included Michael
Haggitt (IEPA) and Janet Pope (EPA Community Involvement Coordinator). The relevant entities such
as the Potentially Responsible (PRP) were notified of the initiation of the FYR on 8/10/2018. The
review began on 8/10/2018.
Site Background
The C.I.P.S. Site property is located in Christian County at 917 South Webster Street in Taylorville,
Illinois. It is 2.4 acres in size. The property is bordered on the north by a residential area. On the south, it
is bounded by Seaman Estates subdivision, which consists of eight large wooded tracts with several
single family residences. All of the tracts surround Seaman Estates Pond. To the east is Manners Park,
which is the City's main multi-use facility. The Site is bounded immediately on the west by the Ameren
C.I.P.S. pole yard and railroad tracks. (See Figure 1)
A manufactured gas plant operated on the property from 1883 to 1932. In 1932, the plant was closed and
most of the above ground structures were torn down and the below ground tanks were filled with debris
and left in place. A septic tank contractor discovered coal tar contamination at the site in October 1985.
Coal tar is a byproduct of the coal gasification process and is comprised mainly of polynuclear aromatic
hydrocarbons (PAHs) such as naphthalene and benzo(a)anthracene as well as volatile organic
compounds (VOCs) such as benzene and toluene.
Groundwater flows from the northeast to southwest direction through a fairly well sorted sand and
gravel unconfined aquifer. The aquifer extends 90 feet below ground surface and is underlain by
bedrock comprised of limestone and dolomite. The water table lies approximately 15 feet beneath the
surface of the Site.

II. RESPONSE ACTION SUMMARY
The C.I.P.S. Site has been in the monitoring phase since 1995. Site-related contaminants have declined
in the groundwater, however, there are still some exceedances of the state standards in groundwater.
City of Taylor staffing contract issues resulted in the Site's groundwater pump and treat system being
shut down in September 2017. Ameren Illinois Company (Ameren), a successor to Ameren CIPS, and
which is a Potentially Responsible Party (PRP), plans to test and restart the pump and treat system in
July 2019, to remain compliant with the selected remedy. Monitoring has continued. Regular operation
and maintenance (O&M) activities remain and are on-going.
Basis for Taking Action
The Site investigation conducted by IEPA in 1986 concluded soil at the C.I.P.S. property and sediments
in the river downgradient from the property were contaminated with PAHs. Groundwater at the Site was
contaminated with PAHs and VOCs. The contaminants of concern (COCs) identified in the groundwater
4
-------
included PAHs (8676 ug/L), benzene (4500 ug/L), toluene (7000 ug/L), ethyl benzene (680 ug/L), and
total xylenes (5000 ug/L).
Response Actions
Following the Site investigation, Ameren conducted a removal action at the Site under IEPA's oversight
in January 1987, to excavate and dispose of approximately 12,000 cubic yards of contaminated soil
down to the water table and sediments in the drainage swale. Ameren backfilled and regraded these
areas, and resurfaced them with gravel or vegetation. Ameren also implemented a groundwater and
surface water/pond monitoring program. In addition, it provided a permanent alternative water supply to
approximately 20 residents in October 1987, and plugged and abandoned associated private drinking
water wells. Following the 1987 removal action, IEPA conducted the Remedial Investigation (RI) and
Feasibility Study (FS) in 1991.
On September 30, 1992, IEPA issued a Record of Decision (ROD), which EPA concurred with, that
selected the following cleanup remedy: constructing an on-site groundwater pump and treat system;
O&M of the system until groundwater cleanup objectives were met; expanding the monitoring for
groundwater and treatment system effluent; erecting a Site fence with signage; and placing land-use and
deed restrictions (institutional controls (ICs)) on the property. IEPA executed a Consent Decree with
Ameren in March 1994, under which Ameren agreed to perform the Remedial Design/Remedial Action
(RD/RA) for the Site (the March 1994 CD). IEPA oversees the RD/RA.
The remedial action objectives for the Site were to treat the Site-related constituents contained in the
groundwater to meet cleanup levels to protect future potential residential users of groundwater. Residual
subsurface Site-related constituents should be prevented from migrating off-site. Access to the Site and
performance of intrusive work on the property should be restricted. Accomplishing this specific
objective, accomplishes the general objective to mitigate the endangerment to the public health, welfare,
and the environment.
On September 6, 2005, IEPA issued an Explanation of Significant Differences (ESD), which EPA
concurred with, that allowed Ameren to conduct a pilot for alternative treatment methods and revised
clean-up objectives. The ESD revised the clean-up objective for benzo(a)pyrene and other COCs.
Ameren recorded an Environmental Covenant on August 30, 2012, which granted IEPA and EPA access
to the C.I.P.S. Site and restricted the installation of wells, use and handling of groundwater, and
handling of soils on the property.
Status of Implementation
Ameren completed all construction activities; and IEPA approved a final O&M Plan in February 1995.
Ameren has continued to conduct O&M activities at the Site. Ameren stopped operating the
groundwater pump and treat system, placing the system in stand-by mode status in September 2017.
Contract difficulties between the City of Taylorville and their contractor led to loss of personnel to man
and operate the Site pump and treat system in September 2017. Groundwater and surface water
monitoring has continued without interruption. The pump and treat system ran without any problems
prior to its shutdown. The PRP (Ameren) plans to test the pump and treat system to resume operation
consistent with remedy implementation. Ameren is currently obtaining services of a certified operator to
5
-------
provide O&M of the system. Anticipated startup is scheduled for July 1, 2019. Ameren continues to
conduct quarterly groundwater sampling and sampling of Seaman Estate Pond. Recent data indicated
that benzene and naphthalene still exceed groundwater cleanup objectives by several orders of
magnitude in two monitoring wells. This monitoring indicates no contaminants have migrated off-site or
outside of the capture zone.
Institutional Controls
ICs are non-engineered instruments, such as administrative and/or legal controls, that help minimize the
potential for exposure to contamination and protect the integrity of the remedy. Compliance with ICs is
required to assure long-term protectiveness for any areas which do not allow for UU/UE. Table 1
summarizes ICs for these restricted areas.

A map showing the area in which the ICs apply is included in Attachment B and depicts the current
conditions of the Site and areas which do not allow for UU/UE.
Status of Access Restrictions and ICs: Effective ICs are in place for the Site. An Illinois UECA
restrictive covenant was signed on August 20, 2012, and recorded in Christian County, Illinois on
August 30, 2012. The Site achieved Sitewide Ready for Anticipated Use status on September 26, 2012.
Current Compliance: Based on the site inspections, and discussions with the PRP and IEPA, the ICs and
required use restrictions are being complied with. EPA is not aware of Site or media uses, such as
groundwater or surface water, which are inconsistent with the stated objectives to be achieved by the
ICs. The remedy appears to be functioning as intended. No Site uses which are inconsistent with the
implemented ICs or remedy IC objectives were noted during the Site inspection. The PRP provides a
status of ICs in the quarterly O&M report.
IC Follow up Actions Needed: Currently ICs are being monitored on a quarterly basis, however, a Long-
term Stewardship (LTS) Plan does not exist and has not been included in an amendment to the Site
O&M Plan. An LTS Plan, or an amendment to the O&M Plan, will need to be completed to include
procedures for monitoring and tracking compliance with existing ICs, communicating with EPA/IEPA,
and providing an annual certification to EPA/IEPA that the ICs remain in place and are effective.
Long Term Stewardship:
Long-term protectiveness requires continued compliance with the ICs consisting of land use and
groundwater use restrictions to ensure that the remedy continues to function as intended. LTS will
ensure that the ICs are maintained, monitored and enforced.
Systems Operations/Operation & Maintenance
Ameren has been conducting O&M activities at the Site since September 6, 1995, when the Preliminary
Close Out Report was completed. All O&M activities are enforced under the March 1994 CD. The
groundwater treatment system at the Site consists primarily of two carbon units operating in series. Bag
filters for solids removal are installed prior to groundwater entering the first carbon unit. The system has
provisions to backwash the carbon units, as necessary.
Raw groundwater entering the facility is analyzed for several compounds including organics twice per
month. Ameren samples water between the carbon units twice per month to monitor organic
breakthrough. The treated water is continuously discharged and will be sampled weekly for various
compounds including organics. Ameren submits sample results and flow information to IEPA. Since the
startup of the treatment system in early 1995 until its shutdown in September 2017, a total of
1,270,137,692 gallons of groundwater have been treated.
Ameren has been conducting long-term monitoring of groundwater, surface water and fish in the
Seaman Estate's pond to ensure there is no risk to human health and the environment. Ameren provides
7

annual O&M reports to the agencies to document the work conducted, as well as any problems,
corrective actions taken, and changes to reporting requirements.

Protective
The remedy is protective of human health and the environment
because the removal of the contaminated soil and the Site
fence effectively prevent exposure to residual soil
contaminants and operation of the groundwater pump and treat
system, in conjunction with the alternative water supply and
ICs, limits exposure to contaminated groundwater. The August
2012 Restrictive Environmental Covenant ensures that the Site
remedy components, including ICs, are maintained,
monitored, and enforced to ensure long-term protectiveness.
There were no issues and recommendations identified which affected the protectiveness of the remedy
during the 2014 FYR.
IV. FIVE-YEAR REVIEW PROCESS
Community Notification, Involvement & Site Interviews
The results of the review and the report will be made available at the Site information repository. The
information repository for the Site is located at the Taylorville Public Library, 121 W. Vine St.,
Taylorville, IL. Copies of the FYR reports can also be obtained at
http://www.epa.gov/superfund/central-illinois-publicservice.
During the FYR process, EPA conducted interviews with the PRP and IEPA to document any perceived
problems or successes with the remedy that has been implemented to date. Results of these interviews
indicated that no significant changes have occurred since the last FYR.

-------
Data Review
The C.I.P.S. Site has been in the environmental monitoring phase since 1995. Site-related contaminants
have declined in the groundwater and cleanup goals for environmental media have not been met for all
COCs. Ameren regularly conducts groundwater monitoring at the Site. Ameren monitors 11 wells on-
site and eight wells off-site associated to the plume quarterly. Ameren also monitors nine additional off-
site wells annually because of the proximity to the baseball field across the street. Additionally, the
monitoring program includes the Seaman Estates' Pond for surface water, fish tissue, and sediments.
Surface water, sediment, and fish tissue samples show concentrations of PAHs and pesticides are
sporadic and show no apparent trends. Concentrations of PAHs in surface water within the pond were
below practical quantitation limits. There were no reportable detections of any PAHs at any sediment
sampling location for 2018. There were no reportable detections of any PAHs at either water sampling
location in 2018. There were no PCBs or pesticides detected above PGLs in fish tissue samples from
Seaman Estate Pond in 2018.
Several VOCs and SVOCs remain above cleanup criteria in the groundwater monitoring wells system.
GW-3 and GW-4R historically have remained above cleanup levels. The COCs are benzene and
naphthalene. Since the 2017 pump and treat shutdown, levels dropped significantly but are trending
upward as expected (see chart below).

Site Inspection
The agencies inspected the Site on 3/12/2019. David Linnear (EPA), Michael Haggitt (IEPA), Paul Lake
(IEPA) and Donald Richardson (Ameren Illinois Company) attended the inspection. The purpose of the
inspection was to gather data to use in the assessment of the protectiveness of the remedy, including
9
-------
condition of the fencing and posted signs to restrict access, and condition of the Site. Fencing was in
good condition with appropriate signage. Site access continues to be adequately restricted.
The inspection revealed changes since the last FYR. On February 4, 2019, Ameren discovered the floor
of the pump and treat facility was filled with about six-inches of water due to a potable water line
rupture over the weekend. The city turned off the potable water to the facility. Ameren submitted a
sample of the water on the floor to Teklab for analyses. Since the groundwater pumps were offline, no
untreated groundwater was mixed in the potable water spill. Approximately 40,000-gallons of potable
water had been spilled. Analytical results were compared to the discharge limits contained in the
RODThese results were sent to Mike Haggitt of IEPA on February 8, 2019. Later that day, Mike Haggitt
approved discharge of the water. The water was discharged on February 15, 2019.
Staffing contract difficulties between the City of Taylorville, who assumed a portion of the 0& M
responsibilities, and their contractor led to loss of personnel to man and operate the Site pump and treat
system in September 2017. The City of Taylorville was unable to maintain the staffing contract due to
fiscal budget difficulties. Groundwater and surface water monitoring continued without interruption.
The pumping system ran without any problems before it shut down in September 2017. The PRP
(Ameren) plans to test and restart the pump and treat system in July 2019. If testing of the system shows
any issues, EPA expects repairs would be made to address them. The team looked at monitoring wells,
and found them to be in good condition with no signs of vandalism or tampering evident.
Interviews
During the 3/12/2019 interviews, Ameren and IEPA stated they have maintained annual visits at the Site
and indicated that no problems have occurred regarding site security and no concerns have been raised
by the local commercial and residential population. Further, no telephone calls have been received
regarding the Site.
V. TECHNICAL ASSESSMENT
Question A: Is the remedy functioning as intended by the decision documents?
No. The required groundwater pump and treat system has been shut down since September 2017 and the
remedy is therefore not functioning as intended by the decision documents. Ameren plans to test and
restart the system in July 2019. Review of the available information indicates the remedy will again
function as it was intended once the restart occurs. The remedy included soil excavation, a pump and
treat system, groundwater monitoring, installation of site access controls, and ICs. The Site has been in
the monitoring phase since 1995. Site-related contaminants have declined in groundwater although
cleanup goals for environmental media have not been met for all COCs. Because levels remain above
cleanup goals, the selected remedy must continue operating. No further remedial or removal actions are
necessary.
Effective ICs are in place for the Site. An Illinois UECA restrictive covenant was signed on August 20,
2012, and recorded in Christian County, Illinois on August 30, 2012. Discussions with Site O&M
personnel indicate that no issues or problems have arisen with respect to enforcing the restrictive
covenants for the Site. However, a LTS Plan or amendment to the O&M Plan to include LTS
procedures, needs to be developed and implemented.
10
-------
Question B: Are the exposure assumptions, toxicity data, cleanup levels, and remedial action
objectives (RAOs) used at the time of remedy selection still valid?
Yes. There have been no major changes in the physical conditions of the site that would affect the
protectiveness of the remedy. The Site is being used as anticipated, i.e., it is not being used, so the
exposure assumptions that were made do not need to be changed.
There has been no change to the standardized risk assessment methodology or contaminant
characteristics that would affect the protectiveness of the remedy. There have been no changes in
toxicity factors or cleanup levels. As per the ICs, the property is currently zoned for industrial use;
however, there is currently no formal use of the property. No unacceptable risks would be sustained.
Question C: Has any other information become available that could call into question the
protectiveness of the remedy?
No. There is no new information that has come to light that could affect the protectiveness of the
remedy. No other events have affected the protectiveness of the remedy and there is no other
information which calls into question the protectiveness of the remedy.

VII. PROTECTIVENESS STATEMENT
OU1 & Sitewide Protectiveness Statement
Protectiveness Determination:
Short-term Protective
Protectiveness Statement:
The remedy is currently protective of human health and the environment because the removal
of the contaminated soil and the site fence effectively prevent exposure to residual soil
contaminants, and the provision of an alternative water supply and implementation of ICs limit
exposure to contaminated groundwater. Effective ICs in the form of an Illinois UEC A restrictive
covenant are in place. However, in order for the remedy to be protective in the long-term, the
following actions need to be taken to ensure protectiveness: restart the groundwater pump and
treat system, and develop an LTS Plan or amend the O&M Plan to include LTS procedures.
