2.1 Site DescriptionThe PWTS is a 30-acre site located at 403 Davis Street in the city of Picayune, PearlRiver County, Mississippi. The site is located near the center of Section 15,Township 16 South, Range 17 West at longitude 89° 41' 30 " and latitude 30° 31' 30".Figure 2-1 shows the location of the PWTS. The plant is located within an industrialcomplex that once included a sawmill, veneer mill, a wooden box factory, and a tungoil extraction facility. Abandoned buildings and concrete foundations of these formerfacilities are located near the northern and southern property lines. The only industrypresently operating at the industrial complex is a paint blending company located tothe north of the site.

Figure 2-2 shows the layout of the site when it was operational. The main processarea is located near the eastern portion of the site. The main process area includes thecreosote, pentachlorophenol (PCP), and diesel storage tank area, oil/water separatortanks, the treatment vessels, and the treatment building. The closed cooling waterimpoundment and the biological treatment storage tanks are located to the north ofthe main process area. The wastewater treatment plant is located to the south of themain process area. The central portion of the site is the product storage area. Theclosed trench impoundments are located in the western portion of the site.

2.2 Operational HistoryThe facility utilized a pressurized wood treating process to produce wood products(primarily utility poles and foundation piling). The wood preserving plant wasconstructed in 1945-1946 by Crosby Forest Products, Inc. Crosby Wood Preserving,Inc. purchased the plant and other manufacturing operations in 1963. Wood Treating,Inc. (WTI) purchased the wood preserving facility and approximately 30 acres of landin 1973 and operated the plant until it was closed in 1999.

WTI closed two hazardous waste management units that were former surfaceimpoundments utilized to manage the waste (process waste water and/or sludge)generated during the treatment operations. The first impoundment area is the formercondenser cooling water pond, which is located in the eastern portion of the site. Thecooling water pond is believed to have been constructed when the facility beganoperations in 1946. The former cooling pond reportedly covered an area ofapproximately 5,000 square feet and had a maximum depth of about 8 feet. Thesecond impoundment area is the former trench impoundments. The trenchimpoundments are located in the western portion of the site and were constructedbetween 1975 and 1980. The former trench impoundments consisted of three trenchesthat reportedly were 400 feet long, 25 feet wide, and 7 feet deep.

Section 2Site Description and Operational History

3 4 ,,015The cooling water pond and the trench impoundments were closed under theResource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and a Hazardous WastePost-Closure Permit was issued in August 1989. The impoundments were closed byremoving all pumpable sludges, solidification of the remaining sludges, and cappingthe impoundments with a "very impermeable" cap (Rollins 1987). The volume withinthe closed cooling water pond is estimated to be 30,000 cubic feet. The closed trenchimpoundments cover an area of about 27,000 square feet and contain an estimatedtotal volume of 93,160 cubic feet.

Groundwater contamination was discovered beneath the two closed impoundmentsin 1985. Subsequently, a groundwater quality assessment plan consisting of 37 soilborings and 29 monitoring wells was implemented. A Corrective Action Plan (CAP)was implemented for remediation of the groundwater contamination. In October1991, WTI installed six recovery wells as part of a groundwater pump and treatsystem. WTI operated the corrective action system to recover nonaqueous phaseliquids (NAPL) and contaminated groundwater.

The Mississippi Department of Natural Resource (MDNR) and the MississippiDepartment of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) inspected the PWTS several timesbetween 1981 and 1998. Deficiencies and RCRA violations noted during theinspections included: failure to control entry into the surface impoundments andtrenches; old sand filter bed not in compliance with RCRA; incomplete closure plansfor hazardous waste disposal units; failure to properly locate and sample monitoringwells; failure to properly inspect impoundments for leaks, deterioration, or failure;failure to maintain operating records; failure to operate groundwater pumpingsystems for recovery and treatment of contaminated groundwater; and failure toinstall a drip pad in the process area.

In April 1988, EPA issued a RCRA Facility Assessment (RFA) report that identified 10solid waste management units (SWMUs) and one area of concern (AOC). EPA issueda Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments (HSWA) permit to WTI on September 22,1989. On June 10,1994, WTI submitted final amendments to the RCRA FacilityInvestigation (RFI) Plan and EPA approved the plan on July 12,1994. On January 9,1995, WTI issued the Draft RCRA Facility Investigation Report.

On November 11,1996, the facility submitted the final Phase 1 RFI. On April 1,1997,the facility submitted an Interim Measures Remediation Plan (IMRP) to address theconcerns raised by EPA during the RFI. WTI proposed reclamation of useable fluidsand sludge from the wood process, and on-site bioremediation of the contaminatedsoils. EPA approved the IMRP on July 29,1997; however, in December 1997, WTIrequested a postponement of the remedial activities due to litigation with theprevious owner and operator. In January 1998, EPA notified WTI thatimplementation of the Phase II RFI work plan should begin within 30 days; however,on February 25,1998 WTI requested a postponement of the Phase II RFI until asettlement could be reached between the current and former owners.

Section 2Site Description and Operational History

3 4lawsuit was filed by the insurers of the facility to contest the insurance coverage. Thefacility ceased operations in 1999.

2.3 Wood Treating ProcessPrior to 1982, the chemicals used in the wood treatment process were coal tar creosoteand PCP in a petroleum carrier. After 1982, only creosote was used. The followingdescription of wood treating operations was obtained from the Groundwater QualityAssessment (Rollins 1987).

The wood preserving process requires a conditioning cycle followed by the impregnation cycle.The conditioning cycle removes sufficient natural moisture and saps to allow injection of therequired quantity of preservative chemical. This plant has used a steam/vacuum conditioningcycle. In this cycle, the wood to be preserved is placed in the pressure impregnation retort andis heated to 245° F by saturated steam far a period of 10-16 hours. Condensate, contaminatedwith residual preservative from the retort and sap extractives from the wood, is continuouslybled from the retort.

At the end of the steaming period, the retort is vented to the atmosphere and a vacuum of 23inches mercury minimum, is applied as rapidly as possible for a period of 2-3 hours. Prior to1985, a direct contact barometric condenser ivas used to condense any condensable vaporsremoved during this time. The cooling water for the condenser was stored in an unlinedcooling water surface impoundment constructed in 1946. The cooling water collected allcondensable organic vapors which left the retort during the vacuum phase. In 1985, processequipment was changed to replace the barometric condenser with a surface condenser. Thelarge volume of direct contact cooling water was replaced by a small volume of non-contactcooling water in a tank and a cooling tower. The condensable vapors are now collected in acondensate tank and pumped to the wastewater treatment system.

After completion of this conditioning cycle, the retort isfilkd with preservative and the woodis impregnated by raising preservative pressures to 150-200 psig. The wood is removed fromthe retort and the cycle begins again.

The wastewater stream from the steaming cycle and the condenser cooling water arecontaminated process wastewaters. Sludge generated from the treatment of processivastewaters is defined as hazardous waste by 40 CFR 261.32 as K001: "Bottom sedimentsludge from the treatment of wastewater from wood preserving processes that use creosoteand/or pentachlorophenol. "

This plant has tivo areas which were used to manage process ivastewater and/or sludge fromthe treatment of these waters. The recycled cooling water was stored in an unlined surfaceimpoundment. This impoundment was not designed or operated as a "wastewater treatment"unit. Some sludges did accumulate in the bottom oftiie impoundment. The State ofMississippi has ruled that this impoundment contained K001.

Section 2Site Description and Operational History

3 4 .,017Since the early 1970's, the steaming condensate process wastewater stream has been treated bygravity oil/water separation followed by chemical flocculation and sedimentation. Theflocculated wastewater has been discharged to the City of Picayune sanitary sewer system. In1975, the northern most "trench impoundment" was dug. The flocculation sludge from tiiewastewater treatment system, along with some creosote tank bottoms from the woodpreserving operations, were placed in this impoundment. Subsequently, betiveen 1975 and1980, tiuo additional trench impoundments were dug. They were also used for tliestorage/disposal of the same wastes. No wastes were added to these impoundments after 1980.

Changes were made in 1980 which allow recycling of the flocculation sludge to the creosotepreservative system. Process equipment changes were completed in 1985 to allow removal ofthe barometric condenser which eliminated the need for the cooling water impoundment.

All impoundments at the site were closed by removal of all pumpable sludges, solidification ofthe remaining sludges, and placement of a very impermeable cap over the impoundment sitesin accordance an approved closure plan.

Waste Generation

The treatment cycle generated a wastewater stream from the steaming cycle andcondensed vapors that are contaminated with creosote. The wastewater stream wastreated on-site in the facility's wastewater treatment plant. Other waste streamsources include drips, spills, and other loses of preservative, and spent preservativethat was no longer suitable for use in the treatment process. The operations producedthe following listed hazardous waste as defined by RCRA Part 26l of 40 CFR:

• K001 — Bottom sediment sludge from the treatment of wastewater from woodpreserving processes that use creosote and/or PCP,

• U051 — Commercial chemical products, manufacturing chemical intermediates, oroff-specification commercial chemical products containing creosote),

• F032—Wastewater (except those that have not come into contact with processcontaminants), process residuals, preservative drippage, and spent formulationsfrom wood preserving processes generated at plants that currently use or havepreviously used chlorophenolic formulations, and

• F034 — Wastewater (except those that have not come into contact with processcontaminants), process residuals, preservative drippage, and spent formulationsfrom wood preserving processes generated at plants that currently use or havepreviously used creosote formulations.

Section 2Site Description and Operational History

3 4 ,;0182.4 Site Geology and Hydrogeology2.4.1 Regional GeologyThe site is located in the Pine Meadows Belt of the East Gulf Coastal PlainPhysiographic Province. The Pine Meadows Belt consists of Pleistocene Terracesfeaturing low, seaward facing scarps and shallow swales bordered by slightly higherground having the appearance of natural levees. Surface deposits in this belt aredescribed as loam, sand, gravel, and clay.

Geologic formations of concern are the Pamlico Sand of Pleistocene age, which ismapped as a surface outcrop in the immediate vicinity of the site; the underlyingCitronelle Formation and/or reworked Citronelle terrace material of Pliocene orPleistocene age and the Graham Ferry formation of Pliocene age. The Pamlico Sand isreported to vary in thickness from 1 to 75 feet and is composed of gray and tan sandwith occasional lagoonal deposits of clay and silt. The Citronelle formation isreported to consist of red sands, gravels, and gravel-sand-clay mixture with some thinclay strata. The thickness ranges from a thin mantle to approximately 160 feet thick.The Graham Ferry formation is identified as a series of deltaic deposits between thePleistocene Citronelle and the Miocene Pascagoula. Being deltaic, it contains bothmarine and continental deposits and ranges in thickness from approximately 100 to1,000 feet. It includes silty clay, shale, silty sand, clean sand, and gravelly sand. ThePascagoula formation, which underlies the Graham Ferry formation, is similar inlithology and the two formations are sometimes mapped as a common unit. Massiveclay beds of very low permeability are common to both units.

2.4.2 Site Geology and TopographyMaximum relief within the entire site area is less than 7 feet with an average elevationof 59 feet National Geodetic Vertical Datum (NGVD). Site runoff is collected insurface ditches and is eventually discharged into Mill Creek, a small tributary to thePearl River at a point approximately one-half mile southwest of the site. The PearlRiver is located approximately 3 miles to the southwest of the site.

The near surface geologic profile is relatively consistent throughout the site andconsists of three distinct horizons. The first extends from the surface to depthsranging from 10.5 to 51 feet and averages 37.2 feet in thickness. This upper layerconsists primarily of fine-grained soils (silts and clays) with seams/layers of fine sandand fine silty sand. This material is tentatively identified as a lagoonal deposit withinthe Pamlico Sand but may also be recent alluvium.

The next layer, which ranges in thickness from approximately 20 to 64 feet, isidentified as the Citronelle formation of Pleistocene age. The unit is composedentirely of granular sediments from fine to medium quartz sands to coarse gravellysands and is the uppermost aquifer at the site.

Section 2Site Description and Operational History

3 4 -019Underlying the Citronelle formation at depths ranging from 69 to 75 feet is acontinuous, massive bed of homogeneous, high plasticity clay with a measuredpermeability of 2.12 x 1O9 centimeters per second (cm/sec). This is assumed to be thetop of the Graham Ferry formation of Pliocene age. H. M. Rollins Company, Inc.drilled up to 20 feet into this layer with no change in lithology. Logs of deep-waterwells located within the immediate vicinity of the site show that the clay layer has athickness of 100 to 300 feet.

2.4.3 Regional Hydrogeology

Southern Mississippi has extensive groundwater resources in the Citronelle aquiferand the Miocene aquifer system. The aquifer system that underlies the Citronelleaquifer in the general vicinity of the site is generally referred to as the "Mioceneaquifers."

The Citronelle occurs at a higher elevation in a band across south Mississippi and isoften the local water table. The Citronelle aquifer has an average thickness of 45 feetand an average conductivity of 150 feet/day. The quality of the groundwater isgenerally good, with soft to moderate hardness and a low mineral content; however,the water characteristically has a low pH. The Citronelle aquifer is considered to bean important source of domestic and light industrial water in those areas where itexists in sufficient thickness. A massive continuous clay member of the Graham Ferryformation separates the Miocene aquifers from the overlying Citronelle aquifer.

The Miocene aquifer system is the most widely used aquifer in south Mississippi andsupplies the City of Picayune. The City of Picayune maintains five municipal waterwells that serve approximately 10,683 persons (EPA 2001a). The City of Picayunedrinking water wells are completed at depths of 1,042 feet or greater. The four nearestwells are City of Picayune Wells 1, City of Picayune Well 2, City of Picayune Well 3,which are located within 0.25 to 0.5 mile east of the site. City of Picayune Well 4 islocated 1.75 miles northeast of the site and City of Picayune Well 5 is located 0.6 milesouth of the facility. In addition to the City of Picayune's municipal water wells,Dixie Utilities and the Nicholson Water & Sewer Association provide potable water tothe community. These two utilities have a total of four wells located within 2 to3 miles of the site and completed at depths ranging from 365 to 490 feet.

The 2001 Preliminary Assessment/Site Inspection Report (EPA 2001a) estimated that1,776 persons obtain potable water from private wells located within a 4-mile radiusof the site. Data compiled by the U.S. Geological Survey show that of the 285 wellslocated within a 4-mile radius of the site, only six are producing from the Citronelleaquifer. A public ordinance prohibits the existence of private drinking water wellswithin a 3-mile radius of the site.

Section 2Site Description and Operational History

3 4 ,0202.4.4 Site HydrogeologyThe uppermost aquifer at this site is the Citronelle aquifer. Groundwater flow withinthis aquifer is toward the west with a gradient of approximately 0.001 feet/feet. Thehydraulic conductivity is approximately 200 feet/day (Pine Belt Environmental, Inc.1996). Pine Belt Environmental, Inc. calculated an average linear groundwater flowrate of 0.7 foot/day, assuming a porosity of 30 percent. There is also a slightdownward vertical groundwater flow component within this aquifer.

A massive clay member of the Graham Ferry formation separates the Citronelleaquifer from the underlying Miocene aquifers. The presence of the Graham FerryFormation was confirmed in 11 borings across the site during the 1986-1987 siteinvestigations. H. M. Rollins Company, Inc. tested samples of the clay from theGraham Ferry Formation and determined that the permeability of the soil is2.12 xlO-9 cm/sec.

2.5 Previous InvestigationsGroundwater

WTI installed the initial groundwater monitoring system (MW-1 through MW-4) inNovember 1982. MDNR requested that a fifth well (MW-5) be installed between wellsMW-3 and MW-4. The first semi-annual sampling of wells MW-1 through MW-5indicated a "statistically significant" increase in Total Organic Carbon (TOC) andTotal Organic Halogen (TOH) in wells MW-4 and MW-5 (Rollins 1987). This increasewas confirmed by replicate analyses and MDNR was notified on July 16,1985. AGroundwater Quality Assessment Plan (GWQAP) was submitted to MDNR onJuly 30,1985 and approved on September 16,1985.

WTI installed four additional monitoring wells (MW-6, MW-7, MW-8, and MW-9)down gradient of the closed cooling pond during August of 1985. The analyticalresults of groundwater from wells MW-1 through MW-9 during August 1985 showedgroundwater contamination down gradient of the closed cooling pond and the closedtrench impoundments. As part of the GWQAP, 21 additional monitoring wells(MW-10 through MW-20, MW-21S, MW-21D, and MW-22 through MW-29) wereinstalled between January 1986 and February 1987. Figure 2-3 shows the locations ofthe 30 monitoring wells. Analytical groundwater data collected from the monitoringwell network confirmed the presence of site related contaminants in the groundwater.Figure 2-4 shows the estimated extent of the soluble plume as mapped byH. M. Rollins Company in 1987.

In January 1992, WTI began the groundwater extraction/treatment system at the site.The groundwater monitoring system consisted of 30 wells divided into ComplianceMonitoring Wells (sampled quarterly), Corrective Action Effectiveness MonitoringWells (sampled semi-annually), and Boundary Monitoring Wells (sampled semi-

The post-closure ground water monitoring report dated October 21,1996reported that approximately 144 million gallons of contaminated groundwater hadbeen recovered, treated, and discharged to the City of Picayune municipal watertreatment system. Approximately 2,925 gallons of creosote oil had been returned tothe wood treating process. The extraction/treatment system was apparentlysuccessful in reducing the Closed Cooling Water Pond groundwater plume.Figures 2-5 and 2-6 show the extent of the naphthalene plume as mapped by Pine BeltEnvironmental, Inc. based on the 1994 and 1996 data, respectively.

In January 2003, EPA contracted CDM to collect groundwater samples from theexisting wells at the site. The plan was to sample all of the 30 monitoring wellsinstalled by WTI. During the site reconnaissance phase, the field crew discovered thatsix of the 30 monitoring wells (MW-1, MW-16, MW-23, MW-24, MW-27, and MW-29)had been destroyed. In addition, the owner of the property located to the west of thesite, where wells MW-13 and MW-14 are located, would not allow access on theproperty, so samples could not be collected from these two wells. The sampling crewcollected groundwater samples from the 22 remaining monitoring wells. Freeproduct was found in wells MW-6 and MW-8; therefore, the groundwater samplescollected from these two wells were not sent to the Contract Laboratory Program(CLP) laboratory. The groundwater samples from the 20 monitoring wells sampledwere sent to a CLP laboratory for semi-volatile organic compound (SVOC) andvolatile organic compound (VOC) analysis. The groundwater collected from wellsMW-3, MW-7, MW-9, MW-15, MW-19, MW-22, and MW-28 was also analyzed forTarget Analyte List (TAL) metals at a CLP laboratory. The analytical results aregenerally similar to the historic groundwater data except at well MW-18, whichshows significant naphthalene contamination [2,200 micrograms per liter (ng/L)]migrating off-site southward from the closed trench impoundments. Tables 2-1through 2-3 present the groundwater analytical data collected during the January2003 investigation. Figure 2-7 shows the extent of the extent of the naphthaleneplume based on the January 2003 data.

Soil/Sediment/Surf ace Water

As part of the RCRA Facility Investigation Report (Pine Belt Environmental, Inc.1995), Pine Belt Environmental, Inc. collected several soil samples from six of theidentified SWMUs, the one identified AOC, and the background area. Theinvestigation findings are presented below:

SWMU No. 1 - Treated Wood Storage Area

SWMU No. 1 is the treated product storage area that was used as temporary storageof treated wood until it was shipped to the customer. Two areas had been used sincethe plant began operations in 1946. Treated wood was placed directly on the groundin the storage areas without protection from the elements or secondary containment.The storage areas were referred to as the western storage area and the eastern storagearea due to their relative location with respect to the Davis Street extension, which

Section 2Site Description and Operational History

3 4 032bisects the site. The western storage area is approximately 5 acres and the easternstorage area is approximately 1 acre.

A central east-west access road bisects the western storage area. Treated wood wasstacked on both sides of this road. Surface water in the western area tends to flownorth and south away from the access road to east-west ditches/swales, which directsthe flow of surface water to the west towards the Davis Street extension. A north-south aligned ditch along the western side of the Davis Street extension then directsthe water southward. Localized ponding of surface water occurred in the storageareas during rainfall events.

The soils in SWMU No. 1 were explored using a hand auger to core to 5 feet belowground surface (bgs) at a total of 28 grid cells. Two samples, one from 0-1 feet andone from 4-5 feet, from seven of the most visually contaminated borings weresubmitted for chemical analysis. The samplers noted that recent fill soil had beenplaced in the area.

One sediment sample was collected within the drainage ditch on the western side ofthe Davis Street extension approximately 2 feet north of the southernmost culvert.The sample was collected from a depth of 0-6 inches below the ground surface. Atthe time of the sampling, creosote treated poles were stored adjacent to and extendingover the ditch sampling area. Some accumulation of "drippings" was noted by thesamplers in the ditch bank areas but none was visible within the ditch.

Three surface water samples were collected within the SWMU No. 1 drainage wayswithin 30 minutes of a rain event. One sample was collected on the south side of thesouthern-most drainage ditch on the western side of the Davis Street extension, justsouth of the southernmost culvert. A second sample was collected in the same ditch,near the location where the northern east-west running portion of the ditch on thenorth side of SWMU No. 1 intersects the Davis Street extension ditch. The thirdsample was collected within the swale located on the south side of SWMU No. 1.

Low levels of wood treating constituents were detected in the soils. PCP was the onlyphenolic compound detected in the soils and PCP concentrations ranged from<0.33 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) to 2.68 mg/kg. Low levels (i.e., less than 10mg/kg) of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) including benzo(a)pyrene andindeno(l,2,3-c,d)pyrene were also detected in several of the surface soil samples. Onesurface soil sample (1N13), located in the northern portion of the eastern storage area,had PAH concentrations approximately two orders of magnitude higher than theother soil samples. In general, PCP and PAHs were detected only in the surface (0-1 foot) soils.

The sediment sample had a total PAH concentration of 178.7 mg/kg. Analysis of thesurface water in the western Davis Street extension ditch also indicated the presence

3 4 ,;033of wood treating constituents, with PCP concentrations ranging from 0.033 mg/L(north end of ditch) to 0.16 mg/L (south end of ditch near the southern property line).

SWMIT No. 5 - Pressure Treatment Process Area

The pressure treatment process area consisted of three horizontal steel cylinders(retorts) each approximately 120 feet long and 8 feet in diameter. The three retortswere parallel to each other and were separated by approximately 10 feet. The retortswere used to condition the wood and impregnate the wood with creosotepreservative. Each retort had a sump at both ends, which collected the residual oiland water from the process when the doors to the retorts were opened. Extensive soilstaining was observed during the RFA.

The soils in SWMU No. 5 were explored by coring 24 hand auger borings to a depthof 5 feet bgs. Two soil samples (0-1 foot interval and 4-5 foot interval) from each ofthe four most visually contaminated soil cores were submitted for chemical analysis.

Extensive surficial and shallow subsurface contamination was found beneath andbetween the retorts. Pine Belt Environmental, Inc. estimated that the area contained220 cubic yards of sludge overlying a coarse grained fill. The fill in the immediateprocess area was saturated with wood treating oil. Each of the concrete lined sumpshad about 1 foot of sludge in them. The large sump in the treating building had 5 feetof sludge in it: The analytical results indicated significant concentrations of PAHs,and phenolics were also present in this area. Most of the data indicate that PAHcontamination is significantly greater than the PCP concentrations; suggestingcreosote constituents to be the source. Elevated concentrations were also detected atthe 4-5 foot depth indicating a downward migration of the contamination.

No. 6 - Storage Tank/Work Tank Area

The storage tank/ work tank area is located north of, and adjacent to, the retorts. Thearea is surrounded by a wooden levee and contained six vertical above groundstorage tanks of various capacities and four horizontal above ground storage tanks.Many of the tanks were used for storage and water treatment operations when PCPwas used at the facility. One of the large tanks was used for creosote and one open-topped tank was used to evaporate treated wastewater. Extensive visualcontamination, in the form of spilled or leaked creosote around the tanks, stainedsoils, and an organic sheen on ponded storm water in the area, was noted during theRFA.

The soils in SWMU No. 6 were explored by coring six hand auger borings to a depthof 5 feet bgs. From each core, the samples collected from 0-1 foot and 4-5 footintervals were submitted for chemical analysis.

The surface soil in SWMU No. 6 was heavily contaminated with PAH constituentsrepresentative of creosote. Pine Belt Environmental, Inc. estimated that the areacontained 356 cubic yards of sludge in this area. The soil also contains PCP but at

SWMU No. 8 - Sand Filter Bed Unit

The sand filter bed unit was reportedly used for three weeks in 1972 to separate anddry sludge from the wastewater treatment plant process. Discharge from the unit waspiped to the sanitary sewer. The unit failed to dry the sludge and the operation wasterminated. The RFA indicated that sludges remained on the surface of the unit fortwo years, allowing leachate to seep into the underlying soils.

The exact location of the former sand filter bed was not obvious during the RCRAfacility investigation; however, the sampling crew noted what appeared to be a driedlayer of sludge cake in the north-south ditch that flows through SWMU No. 8.

The soils in SWMU No. 8 were explored by coring four hand auger borings to a depthof 5 feet bgs. The four samples collected from the 0-1 foot interval were compositedinto one sample and the four samples collected from the 4-5 foot interval werecomposited into a second sample. The composited samples were submitted forchemical analysis.

Three sediment samples were collected from the north-south ditch that runs throughthis SWMU. The samples were collected from a depth of 0-6 inches below the groundsurface. The first sample (8-SS1) sample was collected at the northernmost portion ofthe north-south running ditch near the junction of the ditch with the east-westrunning ditch located just north of SWMU No. 1. The second sample (8-SS2) wascollected near the southern property line. The third sample (8-SS3) was collectedapproximately 100 feet south of sample 8-SS2. All of the sediment samples exhibitedcreosote odors and samples 8-SS1 and 8-SS2 were visibly stained.

The composited surface (0-1 foot) sample had a PCP concentration of 520 mg/kg anda total PAH concentration of 3,411 mg/kg. The composited subsurface (4-5 foot)sample had a PCP concentration of 39 mg/kg and a total PAH concentration of320.6 mg/kg.

SWMU No. 9 - "Old Pit" (Old Flocculation Tank)

The RFA designated SWMU No. 9 as the "old pit"; however, WTI was unaware of anypits in the area described. Pine Belt Environmental, Inc. concluded that the "old pit"referred to in the RFA was the old flocculation tank area. The area consisted of threeabove ground reinforced concrete tanks. All of the tanks have concrete bottoms andare open at the top. SWMU No. 9 was located in the water treatment area and wassurrounded by a cinder block wall approximately 2 feet high. Releases were notobserved from this unit during the RFA; however, the potential for a release wasconsidered high.

Section 2Site Description and Operational History

3 4 ,U35The soils in SWMU No. 9 were explored by coring four hand auger borings to a depthof 5 feet bgs. The most visibly contaminated soil samples collected from the 0-1 footinterval and the 4-5 foot interval were submitted for chemical analysis. In addition,sludge samples were collected from each of the three tanks.

The 0-1 foot surface soil sample had a total PAH concentration of 1,693 mg/kg andthe 4-5 foot soil sample had a total PAH concentration of 5.69 mg/kg. PCP was notdetecte'd in either soil sample. The sludge in the tanks was contaminated with PAHconstituents with the northernmost tank (Tank #1) having the highest concentrations(43,189 mg/kg phenanthrene and others) and the southernmost tank (Tank #2)having the lowest concentrations (680 mg/kg total PAH).

SWMU No. 10- Cooling Pond Ditch

The cooling pond ditch is located northeast of, and adjacent to, the closed coolingpond. The ditch was not observed during the visual inspection of the RFA due todense vegetation in that area. The cooling pond ditch was included as a SWMU basedon file information regarding discharges to this ditch in 1977. These dischargesceased when the facility began discharging the wastewater to the local publicly-owned treatment works (POTW). The cooling pond ditch transports rainwater fromthe area of the Closed Cooling Pond as well as other areas of the plant.

The soils in SWMU No. 10 were explored by collecting six soil samples to a depth of1 foot bgs. Two of the samples were collected from one ditch bank, two werecollected from the other ditch bank, and two were collected from the center of theditch. The two soil samples collected from each area were composited and submittedfor chemical analysis. Five sediment samples were also collected within the ditch andsubmitted for chemical analysis.

Visual evidence of what appeared to be creosote contaminants was observed in theditch water, side slopes, and bottom particularly in the area of the ditch immediatelynorth of the Closed Cooling Pond. The visually contaminated soil extended to adepth of 0.5 to 1 foot bgs. There also appeared to be oil seeping out of the south ditchbank (north side of the Closed Cooling Pond) in this area. Analytical results indicatepredominantly PAH contamination at total concentrations of 1,200 mg/kg or less.The soil/sediment samples were also analyzed for metals. The arsenic concentrations,which ranged from 16 to 255 mg/kg, are noteworthy. Background arsenicconcentrations ranged from 5.6 to 12 mg/kg.

AOC "A" - Boiler Tank Slowdown Area

Pine Belt Environmental, Inc. investigated three areas adjacent to the current boilerand two older boiler systems. The bark-fired wood waste boiler was installed in 1981.WTI also periodically used a gas-fired boiler. There was not an indication of a releasein this area but an investigation was requested because of the unknown compositionof the boiler water.

Section 2Site Description and Operational History

3 4 036The soils in AOC "A" were explored by collecting three surface soil samples (0-1 feetbgs) from three areas likely to have received boiler water blowdown. The threesamples were submitted for chemical analysis. The analytical results do not indicateany significant anomalies compared to the background results.

Background Samples

Three background samples were collected: one from the southeastern portion of thesite, one near monitoring well MW-1 (north site area), and one near monitoring wellMW-3 (western most portion of the site).

2.6 EPA Remedial ActionsOn October 19,1999, EPA conducted a reconnaissance and sampling investigation toevaluate and characterize the risks posed by the facility. The EPA inspectors observedthat the site was not completely fenced and contained several areas of concern.Trespassers, primarily school children on their way to and from school, wereobserved on the site. The interior surfaces of the operations building were thicklycoated with creosote, and contained 2 to 3 feet of standing water mixed with creosote.Areas throughout the site contained stained soils and puddles of sludge. Wasteproduct was observed around the biostorage tanks, central processing area, on-sitedrainage ditches, and off site in Mill Creek. Several of the on-site tanks were leakingcreosote and liquid waste product.

During the October 1999 emergency response action, product was removed from alltanks, vats, and ditches where waste product leaked or had the potential to leak. TheEPA removed approximately 53,000 gallons of liquid waste from the site. Atemporary containment berm was also constructed around the central processingunit.

In December 1999, the IT Corporation (IT) conducted a removal action at the PWTS.During this removal action, approximately 44,449 gallons of non-hazardous waterwas transported off of the site. In May 2000, IT returned to the site and constructed awater treatment system and began to treat water in June 2000. A total of387,400 gallons of water were treated on-site. In addition, small drums and containersfound on the facility property were inventoried and grouped by means of hazardcategorization, while the larger tanks were demolished and recycled. The remainingsludges on-site in the vicinities of the tanks were stabilized using fly ash. After thesludges were stabilized, all of the containers and treated materials were stagedtogether and covered with a polyethylene liner. Approximately 175 cubic yards ofasbestos was also removed from some of the tanks and pressure vessels, and disposedof in the Central Landfill in McNeil, Mississippi.

3.3.2.3 Conduct Hydrogeological Investigations: Groundwater

3.3.2.3.1 Groundwater Investigation Objectives

The primary objectives of the ground water investigation program at the PWTS are asfollows:

(1) Define the nature and extent of groundwater contamination at the site.

(2) Develop the site hydrogeological characteristics to be used to predict the fateand transport of groundwater contaminants.

(3) Collect data for the development of the FS that will provide a detailed analysisof remedial alternatives for the PWTS.

(4) The ultimate goal of the project is to provide sufficient data to allow EPA toproduce a well-supported Record of Decision (ROD) for the PWTS.

These objectives will be fulfilled by collecting groundwater using DPT and temporarymonitoring wells. The proposed locations of the DPT groundwater sampling stationsand temporary monitoring wells are provided in Figure 3-3.

This hydrogeological investigation was planned to investigate groundwatercontamination from the water table down to and including the top of the GrahamFerry formation confining layer (estimated to be located at a depth of 69-75 feet bgs).The vertical extent of this investigation will be to the top of the Graham Ferryformation confining layer since the Citronelle aquifer is underlain by a continuous,massive bed of homogeneous, high plasticity clay with a measured permeability of2.12 x 1O9 cm/sec. Logs of deep-water wells located within the immediate vicinity ofthe site show that the clay layer has a thickness of 100 to 300 feet.

3.3.2.3.2 Groundwater Investigation

Direct-Push Groundwater Investigation

A groundwater investigation will be conducted using DPT methods to determine thenature and extent of contamination. The proposed locations of the DPT groundwatersampling points are shown in Figure 3-3.

For this investigation, CDM selected nine groundwater sampling stations tosupplement the existing groundwater monitoring network. At each station,groundwater samples will be collected from two zones within the Citronelle aquifer.One sample will be collected in the upper portion of the aquifer at a depth of 40 to45 feet bgs. The second sample will be collected at the top of the Graham Ferryformation confining layer anticipated to be located at about 70 feet bgs. The

The purpose of the Human Health Baseline Risk Assessment (HHBRA) is to analyzethe potential adverse effects on humans, which may result, either now or in thefuture, from the presence of hazardous chemicals at the site or released from the site.CDM will prepare the HHBRA utilizing principal guidance documents including, butnot limited to, the documents list in the References (Section 6 of this Work Plan).Other EPA guidance, technical directives, and memos will be used and referencedwhere appropriate.

3.7.1.1 Data Collection and Evaluation

CDM will tabulate the data collected during the RI to show the frequency ofdetection, the arithmetic mean (using only samples with detected contamination"hits"), the range of detects, the range of background concentrations, and the samplecollection dates. Estimated ("J" values) will be included. Tentatively identifiedcompounds ("N" values) will be included on the list of chemicals of potential concern(COPCs) if there is reason to believe that the chemicals may be linked to past site use.

COPCs will be developed using the screening criteria as described in Risk AssessmentGuidance for Superfund (RAGS) (EPA 1989) and EPA Region 4 Guidance (EPA1998a). CDM will use the EPA Region 9 Preliminary Remediation Goals (PRGs)toxicity screening tables (most current version) for groundwater, surface water, andsediment data. For the soil data, CDM will use the EPA Region 9 PRGs. Chemicalsdetected at least once in a medium will be evaluated for that medium. Screeningcriteria include: toxicity screen using EPA Region 9 PRGs tables, background sampleconcentration comparison (inorganics only, two times the mean backgroundconcentration used as the screening criterion), and unless present at highconcentrations (per the EPA Region 4 toxicologist), essential nutrients (calcium,chloride, iodine, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and sodium) will not beincluded for further evaluation. The COPCs will be used in the subsequent exposureassessment, toxicity assessment, risk characterization, and development of RemedialGoal Options (RGOs).

3.7.1.2 Exposure Assessment and Documentation

CDM will identify potential exposure points and contaminant migration pathways aspart of the exposure assessment. Reasonable maximum exposures (RMEs) will bedeveloped for both current and future land-use assumptions. RMEs forenvironmental media will be calculated according to EPA Region 4 guidance usingthe lesser of the 95 percent upper confidence limit (UCL) on the arithmetic average fora log normal distribution or the maximum detected value (EPA 1992b, EPA 1997a).Where a COPC is not detected, one-half the sample quantitation limit will be used asa proxy concentration to calculate the exposure point concentration. If both the proxyconcentration and the UCL exceed the maximum detected value, the maximumdetected value will be used as the RME concentration. The Central TendencyExposure (CTE) may also need to be considered. If this is determined to be the case

Exposure factors will be obtained from EPA's Standard Default Exposure Factors,Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response (OSWER) Directive 9285.6-03 (EPA1991). CDM will identify exposure pathways based on the sources, release types, andlocations of chemicals at the site; the likely environmental fates of these chemicals;and the locations and activities of the at-risk populations. Exposure pointconcentrations and routes of exposure (e.g., ingestion, inhalation, dermal contact) willbe identified for each exposure pathway and medium.

3.7.1.3 Toxicity Assessment and Documentation

CDM will produce a toxicity assessment of the COPCs using data derived from theIntegrated Risk Information System (IRIS) and Health Effects Assessment SummaryTables (HEAST) for inclusion in the baseline risk assessment report (EPA 1998b, EPA1997a). Where information is not available in IRIS or HEAST, EPA will be consultedand other reputable data sources will be searched.

The assessment will summarize the types of adverse health effects associated withchemical exposure; the relationships between the magnitude of exposure and adverseeffects; and the uncertainties concerning contaminant's toxicity (e.g., weight ofevidence for chemical's carcinogenicity). Toxicity information for each chemical willbe summarized in the BRA report with a reference to the source of information.

Carcinogenic toxicity tables will be developed containing the following informationfor each COPC: weight of evidence and for oral, inhalation, and dermal pathways,tumor site(s), unit risk values, and slope factors will be provided as appropriate.Noncarcinogenic toxicity tables will be developed containing the followinginformation for each COPC: critical effect/target organ affected and chronic referencedoses. All data provided will be properly referenced in each table.

The objective of the risk characterization is to integrate the information developed inthe exposure assessment and the toxicity assessment into an evaluation of thepotential current and future health risks associated with the COPCs at the site.Potential cancer risk will be calculated by multiplying the estimated lifetime-averageddaily intake that is calculated for a chemical through an exposure route by theexposure route-specific (oral, inhalation, or dermal) cancer slope factor. For eachscenario, the cancer risks will be added to calculate total risks for each chemical, foreach exposure route, and for all chemicals and exposure routes.

The potential for non-carcinogenic health effects will be evaluated by the calculationof hazard quotients (HQs) and hazard indices (His). An HQ is the ratio of theexposure duration-averaged estimated daily intake through a given exposure route tothe chemical and route-specific (oral, inhalation, or dermal) reference dose. HQs will

Section 3Scope of Work

3 4 ^ 0 5 8be totaled to calculate His for each receptor scenario. His will be calculated based onall chemicals and exposure routes.

Adverse effects from exposure to lead contaminated materials are not determined bymethodology described above; no reference dose for lead currently exists. Therefore,non-cancer effects from the potential exposure to lead contaminated soils will beevaluated for children by using the Integrated Exposure Uptake Biokinetic Model(IEUBK Model). For adults, adverse effects to lead will be evaluated by using theadult lead model presently under review (EPA 1996) and by consultation with EPARegion 4 toxicologists.

3.7.1.5 Risk-Based Remediation Goal Options

CDM will calculate RGOs for the COCs based on site-specific information. Region 4EPA defines COCs as chemicals (i.e., COPCs) that contribute to a use scenario thatexceeds a 1 x 1O1 excess cancer risk or an HI of 1 (EPA 1997b). Chemicals that exceeda state or federal applicable or relevant and appropriate requirement (ARAR) are alsoCOCs. Chemicals are not COCs if their individual contribution to a pathway is lessthan 1 x 10~5 for carcinogenic risk or less than 0.1 for non-carcinogenic risk, asestimated in the risk characterization.

The media, exposure scenarios, and exposure assumptions will be the same as thoseused in the BRA. The analysis will include exposures under both current and futureuse conditions. For carcinogens, concentrations corresponding to 1 x 10-*, 1 x 1O5, and1 x 1O6 risk levels will be presented. For non-carcinogens, concentrations thatcorrespond to HQs of 0.1,1, and 3 will be presented. Where appropriate, the risk-based remediation goals will be compared to the risks associated with ARARs at thesite.

3.7.1.6 Baseline Risk Assessment Report

Following completion of the risk assessment subtasks, CDM will prepare a BRAreport. The BRA report will document in detail the results of the baseline riskassessment and the conclusions drawn from these results. All supporting data,information, and calculations will be included in the report and all documents andpublications used in its preparation will be properly referenced. The report will bedeveloped by closely following RAGS guidance (EPA 1989) and tables presented inthe risk assessment (e.g., COPC list, exposure tables, toxicity tables, estimated cancerrisks, estimated non-cancer risks) will follow RAGS Part D guidance (EPA 1997c)where possible. CDM will deliver three copies of the draft BRA report. Within15 days after receipt and reconciliation of EPA comments on the draft BRA report,CDM will prepare and deliver three copies of the final BRA report addressing EPA'scomments.

A qualitative uncertainty analysis will be provided which presents major assumptionsand uncertainties associated with the risk assessment, including general uncertainties

The predicted direction of each assumption or uncertainty on theevaluation of risk (i.e., overestimate, underestimate, or uncertain) will be indicated.The focus will be on those chemicals and exposure pathways that pose a potentialcancer risk of greater than 1E-06 or have a total HI greater than 1. Quantitativeestimates of uncertainty (e.g., Monte Carlo simulation) will not be performed.

3.7.2 Subtask 7.2—Ecological Risk AssessmentCurrent EPA guidance recommends an 8-step process for designing and conductingconsistent and technically defensible ecological risk assessments for the SuperfundProgram (EPA 1997c).

For this proposal, CDM has included the costs through Step 3a. At the conclusion ofStep 3a, a decision point meeting will be held to determine if further ecologicalinvestigation work is necessary to complete the baseline ecological risk assessment(BERA). An addendum to this work plan and additional budget will be required ifthe remaining steps of the BERA are necessary.

Steps 1 and 2 constitute a screening-level ecological risk assessment (SERA), whichcompares existing site data to conservative screening level values to identify thosechemicals which can confidently be eliminated from further evaluation, and those forwhich additional evaluation is warranted. Step 3 of the 8-step process is initiated asthe planning and scoping phase for implementing a BERA. Step 3 includes severalactivities, including refinement of the list of COPCs, further characterization ofecological effects, refinement of information regarding contaminant fate andtransport, complete exposure pathways, ecosystems potentially at risk, selectingassessment endpoints, and developing a conceptual model with working hypothesesor questions that the site investigation will address. The refinement of the list ofCOPCs is referred to as Step 3a, and is typically submitted to the Ecological TechnicalAssistance Group for review and comment before completing the remainder of Step 3.In Step 3a, additional types of information are considered to further refine the list ofchemicals to be carried through the BERA, so that the chemicals most likely to resultin risks to ecological receptors remain the focus of the evaluations. Step 3b is referredto as the problem formulation.

In Step 4, a SAP is developed and used to gather further data to support the BERA.The SAP contains both the DQOs and the work plan developed for the field effort.The budget for the preparation of the SAP is included in Section 3.1.2 of this workplan.

Step 5 is the field verification of the Step 4 sampling design. This consists of a sitevisit or site reconnaissance, to determine that the field activities can take place asoutlined in the Step 4 work plan and SAP.

Step 6 of the process is the actual data collection for the BERA, which results inanother scientific/management decision point that documents the results of the fieldeffort.

Step 7 is the summary and analysis of the data, and prediction of the likelihood ofadverse effects based on the data analysis, which is presented as the RiskCharacterization. It also includes consideration of uncertainties and ecologicalsignificance of risks in view of the types and magnitude of effects, spatial andtemporal patterns, and likelihood of recovery.

Step 8 results in a scientific/management decision point discussing significant risks,recommended cleanup (if any), and future efforts.

Steps 1 through 3a are further detailed below.

3.7.2.1 Screening Level Problem Formulation

The screening level problem formulation will consist of several subsections providingbackground information necessary to complete the screening level ecological riskassessment. These sections will include the following:

• a description of the environmental setting including habitat descriptions, potentialecological receptors, sensitive ecosystems, and threatened and endangered speciesand habitat survey results;

• identification of contaminants at the site;

• identification of fate and transport mechanisms;

• a discussion of the ecotoxicity potential for the contaminants of potentialecological concern (COPEC);

• a description of the complete exposure pathways and a conceptual site model; and

• identification of assessment and measurement endpoints.

3.7.2.2 Screening-Level Ecological Effects Evaluation

The next step in the process is the screening-level ecological effects evaluation and theestablishment of contaminant exposure levels that represent conservative thresholdsfor adverse ecological values. A literature search will be conducted to identify studiesthat quantify toxicity to evaluate the likelihood of toxic effects occurring at the site.Screening ecotoxicity values will be selected that ideally represent a no-observed-adverse-effect-level (NOAEL) for reproduction in the species of concern, based onlong-term exposure to a contaminant. If this is not possible, uncertainty factors willbe incorporated into the literature-derived value in the derivation of a final toxicity

3.7.2.3 Screening-Level Exposure Estimates

The exposure estimate will be based on the highest detected on-site contaminantconcentration for each environment. Exposure parameters will be identified using themost conservative assumptions for area-use factors, bio-availability, life stage, bodyweight, food ingestion rate, and dietary consumption.

3.7.2.4 Screening-Level Risk Calculation

A quantitative screening-level risk value will be estimated using the exposureestimates and screening ecotoxicity values that will be developed. For the screening-level risk calculation, the HQ approach will be used. This approach compares pointestimates of screening ecotoxicity values and exposure values to derive an HQ. AnHQ value greater than 1 indicates the potential for risks to the receptor evaluated.

3.7.2.5 Uncertainty Analysis

As with human health risk assessment, there are many uncertainties associated withestimating exposure and risks to ecological organisms. The uncertainty analysis willaddress the major assumptions that affect the degree of confidence in the estimate ofrisk. Variables such as exposure locations, strength of the exposure assumptions usedin calculating doses, and the strength of the toxicological evidence supporting thetoxicity values, will be evaluated in the uncertainty analysis and their respectiveinfluence on the risk estimates will be discussed. Quantitative measures ofuncertainty (e.g., Monte Carlo analyses) will not be preformed.

3.7.3 Refinement of BERA COPCs

The COPCs identified in the SERA are reevaluated (Step 3a) to identify thosechemicals most likely to contribute to ecological risks, and to eliminate fromconsideration those chemicals having little or no potential to contribute to risks.Factors considered in the revaluation of COPCs included the following:

• Consideration of chemicals that are site-related.

• An evaluation of the frequency of detection for each chemical.

• A comparison to reference site concentrations.

• A review of alternative screening level values.

• Calculation of HQs.

3 4 00623.7.3.1 Scientific/Management Decision Point

Following completion of the Steps l-3a of the ecological risk assessment process, anevaluation of the information available is required to determine if a risk managementdecision can be made regarding the potential for ecological risks. There will be threepossible decisions at this point in the process. These include the following:

• There is adequate information to conclude that ecological risks are negligible andtherefore there is no need for remediation on the basis of ecological risk;

a The information is not adequate to make a decision at this point, and theecological risk assessment process will continue to a supplemental effort to collectdata from the site; or

• The information indicates a potential for adverse ecological effects, and the riskassessment will continue to the Problem Formulation (Step 3b).

Section 3Scope of Work

3 4 -10633.10 Task 10—Remedial Alternatives ScreeningCDM will develop a range of distinct hazardous waste management alternatives thatwill remediate or control contamination at the site to protect human health and theenvironment. The potential alternatives will encompass the following:

• A range of alternatives in which treatment is used to reduce the toxicity, mobility,or volume of wastes. The range will vary in the types of treatment, the amounttreated, and the manner in which long-term residuals or untreated wastes aremanaged.

— Alternatives involving both containment and treatment components

— Alternatives involving containment with little or no treatment

— A no-action alternative

Alternatives that involve minimal efforts to reduce potential exposures (e.g., sitefencing, deed restrictions) will be presented as "limited action" alternatives.

The subtasks described below will be performed in sequential order to determine theappropriate range of alternatives for the site. The results of these subtasks will besummarized in a remedial alternatives technical memorandum to EPA. This technicalmemorandum will include an alternatives array summary that may be modified byEPA to ensure evaluation of a complete and appropriate range of viable alternativesduring the remedial alternatives evaluation phase (Task 11). The technicalmemorandum will document the methods, rationale, and results of the alternativesscreening process.

3.10.1 Subtask 10.1 —Remedial Alternatives ObjectivesEstablishmentBased on the information collected during the RI, CDM will review and, if necessary,refine the remedial action objectives. These objectives will specify the contaminantsfound and media of concern, exposure pathways and receptors, and an acceptablecontaminant level or range of levels for each exposure route (i.e., remediation goaloptions).

CDM will also develop the general response actions, defining contaminantcontainment, treatment, excavation, pumping, or other actions, singly or incombination, to satisfy the remedial action objectives. Areas and volumes of media towhich general response actions may apply will be identified, taking into account therequirements for protectiveness as identified in the remedial action objectives. Thechemical and physical characteristics of the site and the baseline risk assessment andremediation goals will also be taken into account.

3 4 00643.10.2 Subtask 10.2—Technology Identification and ScreeningCOM will identify and evaluate those technologies applicable to each generalresponse action to eliminate those that cannot be implemented at the site. Based onthe developed general response actions, hazardous waste treatment technologies willbe identified and screened to ensure that only those technologies applicable to thecontaminants present, their physical matrix, and other site characteristics will beconsidered. This screening will be based primarily on a technology's ability toeffectively address the contaminants at the site, but will also take into account theimplementability and cost of the technology. The results of treatability studies (ifavailable) will be used to assist in the screening. Technologies that are innovative, orreduce the mobility, toxicity, or volume, or lead to a permanent remedy will beemphasized in the alternatives. CDM will select representative process options, asappropriate, to carry forward into alternative development.

3.10.3 Subtask 10.3—Alternatives Configuration and ScreeningSelected technologies and process options retained in this FS will be combined intomedia-specific or site-wide alternatives. The developed alternatives will be definedwith respect to size and configuration of the representative process options, relativetime for remediation, rates of flow or treatment, spatial requirements, distances fordisposal, required permits, imposed limitations, and other relevant factors. If manydistinct, viable options are identified, the alternatives will be screened with respect totheir effectiveness, implementability, and cost to consider only the most promisingprocess options. As appropriate, the screening will preserve the range of treatmentand containment alternatives that was initially developed. The action-specific ARARswill be updated as the remedial action alternatives are refined.

3.11 Task 11 — Remedial Alternatives EvaluationCDM will perform a detailed analysis of the alternatives that passed through thedevelopment and screening process (Tasks 10 and 11). Each alternative will beanalyzed with respect to the following nine EPA-mandated evaluation criteria:

• Overall Protection of Human Health and the Environment—addresses whether ornot a remedy provides adequate protection and describes how risks posedthrough each pathway are eliminated, reduced, or controlled through treatment,engineering controls, or institutional controls

• Compliance with ARARs — addresses whether or not a remedy will meet all of theARARs of federal and state environmental statutes and/or provide grounds forinvoking a waiver

• Long-Term Effectiveness and Permanence — refers to the ability of a remedy tomaintain reliable protection of human health and the environment over time oncecleanup goals have been met
