A Sources of Contamination and Primary Contaminants

13 At the DMC Study Area Respondent has manufactured and currently manufactures metal boxes and displays among other items Respondent has used various solvents during its operations including without limitation TCE (from the 1940s through the present) 111-TCA (from 1973-1976) and methylene chloride (used from 1976 through the present) In 1982 solvent usage was approximately 1000 gallons per month and the wastewater stream was approximately 4000 gallons per month

14 In 1951 Respondent installed a 750-gallon settling tank to receive wastewater and paint sludge from wet paint spray booths and a caustic stripper tank Approximately 500 gallons per year of sludge were pumped from the tank Supernatant in the tank was discharged into a ditch located in the DMC Study Area Approximately 1200 gallons of water per week moved through the settling tank to the ditch as a result of cleaning operations of the wet paint spray booths

15 An aeration pond was constructed in 1960 to receive non-contact cooling water from the degreasing and spot-welding operations and storm water from drains located around the parking lot and roof

16 In 1974 Respondent replaced the 750-gallon tank with a 5000-gallon tank which continued to receive wastewater and sludge from the wet paint spray booths and caustic stripper Water was eventually drained into a leaching field located in the DMC Study Area

17 From approximately 1974 through 1978 Respondent used unlined sludge drying beds in its wastewater treatment operations Accumulated paint sludge from the settling tank was directed into one of two drying beds approximately twice a year The sludge was dug out of the drying beds by hand approximately once a year drummed and taken to the DurhamMiddlefield landfill for disposal

18 Based on analytical data from extraction well EX-6 on the DMC Study Area a methylene chloride spill occurred in the area sometime in the mid-1990s

19 The primary contaminants in soil at the DMC Study Area include chlorinated VOCs such as TCE PCE and methylene chloride and non-chlorinated VOCs such as ethylbenzene toluene total xylenes and MTBE Primary contaminants in overburden (shallow) groundwater at the DMC Study Area include chlorinated VOCs such as TCE PCE and methylene chloride and non-chlorinated VOCs such as benzene ethylbenzene toluene and total xylenes Chlorinated VOCs detected in deeper bedrock groundwater wells at the DMC Study Area include TCE PCE 111-TCA 11-DCA 11-dichloroethene (11-DCE) 12-dichloroethene (12-DCE) cisshy12-dichloroethene (cis- 12-DCE) methylene chloride and vinyl chloride

20 A primary source of groundwater contamination in the Site-wide Groundwater Study Area includes spills past waste disposal practices andor other Site activities at the DMC Study Area The overburden soils impacted by this Study Area are another likely source of groundwater contamination in the bedrock aquifer

21 The primary contaminants in the Site-wide Groundwater Study Area are VOCs primarily chlorinated solvents (PCE TCE and 111-TCA) VOCs detected included solvents used in the industrial processes at the DMC Study Area Daughter compounds that likely result from the degradation of the primary chlorinated solvents were also detected in bedrock groundwater including cis-12-DCE trans-12-dichloroethene 11-DCE 11-DCA and vinyl chloride

B Exposure Pathways and Risks

22 Exposure to the contaminants described above in Paragraph 19 at the DMC Study Area presents a significant risk to human health if left untreated As described in the Section G of the ROD EPAs generally acceptable risk range for site-related exposure is 10-4 to 10-6 (1E-04 to

1E-06 or 1 in 10000 to 1 in a million) In assessing the potential for non-cancer adverse effects a hazard quotient (HQ) is calculated An HQ less than or equal to 1 (1E+00) indicates that toxic noncarcinogenic effects from a given chemical are unlikely

23 The unacceptable levels of cancer risk and non-cancer hazard caused by the actual or threatened release from the Site of the hazardous substances identified in Paragraphs 19 and 21 result in the following increased risks

a The excess lifetime cancer risk estimate for the current and future commercial worker for exposure to contaminants contained in untreated groundwater (by ingestion and dermal contact) from the DMC Study Area supply well (DMC 1) is 2E-04 and the estimated non-cancer risk is a hazard index of 5

b The excess lifetime cancer risk estimate for the future resident that may come to be located at the DMC Study Area and potentially exposed to contaminants contained in indoor air (by inhalation) following untreated vapor migration from overburden groundwater is 8E-03 and the estimated non-cancer risk is a hazard index of 4

c The estimated non-cancer risk for the future construction worker for exposure to contaminants contained in untreated shallow groundwater (by dermal contact) at the DMC Study Area is a hazard index of 30 and

d The excess lifetime cancer risk estimates for current and future residential exposure to contaminants contained in untreated groundwater (by ingestion dermal contact and inhalation) in the Site-wide Groundwater Study Area as household water range from 2E-04 to 3E-02 and the estimated non-cancer risks range from 2 to 900

24 Shallow and deeper groundwater at the DMC Study Area exhibits elevated concentrations of the contaminants described above in Paragraph 19 The levels of untreated groundwater contaminants exceed federal and state drinking water levels The levels of untreated groundwater contaminants also exceed state and federal levels related to the volatilization of contaminants into indoor air Soil at the DMC Study area exceeds direct contact and pollutant mobility criteria established by the States Remediation Standard Regulations The presence of these elevated levels of contaminants if not addressed poses an unacceptable level of risk to human health

25 A zone of groundwater contamination extends off of the DMC Study Area primarily to the south and southwest VOC concentrations in untreated groundwater exceeding federal and state drinking water levels extend off of the DMC Study Area and have impacted residential drinking wells in this area The presence of VOCs poses an unacceptable level of risk to human health namely through residential household water exposure to untreated groundwater

26 A range of health effects is associated with exposure to the primary contaminants

detected at the DMC Study Area and in the Site-wide Groundwater Study Area Benzene and vinyl chloride are known human carcinogens methylene chloride 11 -DCE PCE and TCE are probable or possible human carcinogens The effects of exposure to other contaminants (ethylbenzene 111-TCA and toluene) include eye nose and throat irritation nausea loss of coordination liver and kidney damage central nervous system damage and teratogenic effects

C Selected Remedy

27 The ROD sets forth the selected remedy for the Site which is detailed and described therein

28 This Order requires soil and groundwater sampling to support the remedial design of the excavation and off-site disposal of hot spot areas of soil contamination which is a portion of the remedy for the DMC Study Area Such remedial action will significantly reduce the risk posed to construction workers through direct contact of contaminants in groundwater immediately upon completion of the excavation and will reduce the concentrations of contaminants in groundwater by removing ongoing sources of contamination

29 This Order also requires that a sub-slab depressurization system be installed under the main manufacturing building at the DMC Study Area to mitigate the potential threat of the intrusion of contaminated vapors into the building

D Identification of Respondent

30 Respondent is a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Connecticut with its principal place of business in Durham Connecticut

31 Respondent is the owner of the property at 201 Main Street Durham Connecticut and has been the owner of such property since 1922

IV PERFORMANCE STANDARDS for REMEDIAL DESIGN SAMPLING

This section defines the Performance Standards for Remedial Design Sampling at the DMC Study Area

The Respondent shall conduct Remedial Design Sampling in order to provide all information required to design construct operate monitor and maintain the remedy at the DMC Study Area in compliance with Section L of the ROD all applicable or relevant and appropriate (ARAR) standards cited in the ROD and all Performance Standards for the components of the DMC Study Area remedy Remedial Design Sampling activities include sampling of groundwater and soil analysis and validation of data and tabulation and evaluation of data The Respondent shall comply with all requirements of the Order and this SOW

The DMC Study Area remedy addresses contamination in overburden (shallow) groundwater at the DMC Study Area through soil excavation as described in the ROD The focus of this remedy is removing the Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and possible Dense Non-Aqueous Phase Liquid (DNAPL) contamination in the overburden soils that are likely acting as continual sources of groundwater contamination These sources are located at the degreasing and former solvent storage area at the Northwest Corner Area the WS-20 Area and potentially in the Eastern Area

The Respondent shall conduct groundwater and soil sampling to determine the extent of groundwater hot spots and the extent of soil contamination acting as a source to ongoing groundwater contamination Groundwater hot spots are considered those areas demonstrating high concentrations of VOCs and the likely presence of DNAPL Initial investigations shall focus around the Northwest Corner Area the WS-20 Area and the Eastern Area

The Respondent shall collect data that supports remedial activities and allows for the design of a soil excavation remedy that (i) removes source areas to the maximum extent practicable (with the goal of meeting Interim Cleanup Levels for groundwater in the DMC Study Area as outlined in Table 42 of the ROD) and (ii) removes any soils exceeding CT RSR PMCs and DECs The Respondent shall conduct groundwater and soil sampling work reasonably concurrently The Respondent shall perform groundwater sampling to determine the extent of groundwater hot spots and provide information required to develop a post-remedial long-term groundwater monitoring plan The Respondent shall perform soil sampling to fully define the vertical and lateral extent of

Statement of Work for DMC UAO Version FINAL Durham Meadows Superfund Site Date July 26 2007 Durham Connecticut Page 3 of 30

soil with VOCs in excess of the CT RSR PMCs and DECs as well as to determine the extent of soil which if removed would be considered RCRA listed waste whether any soil contains RCRA characteristic waste based on TCLP analysis and potentially applicable disposal requirements and limitations such as RCRA land disposal restrictions

Additional investigation including additional soil sampling in the Eastern Area may be required after reviewing data from groundwater well sampling

C Soil Sampling

Substantially concurrent with groundwater sampling Respondent shall conduct soil borings and soil sampling on a grid pattern at the Northwest Corner Area and the WS-20 Area to define the extent of soil contamination exceeding the CT RSR PMCs and DECs As stated above additional soil sampling in the Eastern Area may be required after reviewing data from groundwater well sampling

The Respondent shall collect soil samples in a grid pattern Soil samples shall continue outwards as defined below in all directions (both laterally and vertically) until samples do not exceed CT RSR PMCs and DECs or until a building foundation is encountered If samples from the final row of the grid areas defined below exceed either CT RSR PMCs or DECs additional soil sampling shall be required unless a building foundation is encountered The Respondent shall submit the proposed grid and locations of soil borings and soil sampling to EPA for review and approval EPA approval shall be required prior to the Respondent implementing soil boring and soil sampling activities

At the Northwest Corner Area the Respondent shall collect samples in a grid The initial round of soil sampling shall include three rows of borings The first row of samples shall start five feet from the outer northern wall of the building The row shall contain five or six sampling locations spaced 30 feet apart the number of sampling locations in each row should be determined based on past data allowing a buffer zone to ensure the lateral edges of the contaminated zone to the east and west are fully defined The row shall begin at approximately the western edge of the building and extend at least 150 feet to the east The row shall be repeated northward every 15 feet subject to obtaining access from abutters (The second row shall be 20 feet from the building wall and the third row shall be 35 feet from the building wall) The borings shall extend to the east and west as necessary to define the lateral extent of exceedances of the CT RSR PMCs and DECs

At the WS-20 Area the Respondent shall advance radial soil borings centered around well WS-20 with radial spokes extending in the four compass directions Samples shall be taken in 10 foot intervals with the first iteration being four borings and the successive iterations being eight borings with iterations spaced 10 feet apart The initial round of soil sampling shall include

Statement of Work for DMC UAO Version FINAL Durham Meadows Superfund Site Date July 26 2007 Durham Connecticut Page 6 of 30

both rings (the inner ring 10 feet removed from WS-20 with four borings and the outer ring 20 feet removed from WS-20 with eight borings)

At each boring location the Respondent shall collect three to four samples The Respondent shall determine sample depths by where higher VOC concentrations may be anticipated at the interface between the fill and the ablation till at the interface between the ablation till and the till at the water table and just above the bedrock surface (EPA Remedial Investigation Figures 34-2 and 34-3 indicate that the fill layer is typically two feet deep the ablation till varies from approximately three to eight feet in depth and till is on the order of 10 foot depth The water table depth is approximately 10 feet and bedrock depth approximately

20 feet) Where the ablation tilltill interface is close to the water table separate samples may not be required and three samples per boring location may be sufficient Observation and field screening of sample cores indicating soil with staining or high levels of VOCs may take precedence in selecting sample collection depth locations as described above

The Respondent may elect to conduct one additional round of Remedial Design sampling to more accurately delineate soil exceeding the CT RSR PMCs and DECs as long as such sampling does not delay the remedial action The Respondent shall propose the additional round of sampling to EPA and CT DEP The Respondent shall not conduct an additional round of sampling without receiving EPA approval

Respondent may also elect to collect concurrent samples during work being performed under this SOW provided such samples are analyzed within the appropriate holding times and otherwise comply with this SOW Any concurrent samples collected during the sampling planned as part of this SOW shall not require EPA approval but Respondent shall provide written notice of such sampling at least three days after such sampling occurs

Any additional or concurrent sampling shall be tighter (ie within an area between a sampling location meeting the CT RSR PMCs and DECs and another sampling location not meeting such soil standards) and no closer than five feet outward from a soil sample location not meeting the CT RSR PMCs or DECs Sampling depths intervals and protocols shall be similar to those required by this SOW The Respondent shall provide the results of all data to EPA and CT DEP

The Respondent shall advance all soil borings using direct-push techniques The Respondent shall visually observe the soil for the presence of DNAPL and perform continuous screening of soil samples and dye testing as necessary as

Statement of Work for DMC UAO Version FINAL Durham Meadows Superfund Site Date July 26 2007 Durham Connecticut Page 7 of 30

described in Section IVB Respondent shall use standard EPA Region I QAQC and data validation procedures as well as CT DEPs Guidance for Collecting and Preserving Soil and Sediment Samples for Laboratory Determination of Volatile Organic Compounds dated February 28 2006 The Respondent shall provide copies of all raw data field notes boring logs detection limits and data validation information to EPA and CT DEP

The Respondent shall analyze each soil sample for VOCs using EPA SW-846 8260

The Respondent shall have the option to perform laboratory analysis of soil samples iteratively so long as all samples are analyzed within the prescribed 14 day holding time and standard EPA Region I QAQC and data validation procedures are met For the WS-20 area the inner ring samples shall be analyzed first results would then determine which samples obtained from the second ring of borings if any need to be analyzed based upon a comparison to the CT RSR PMCs and DECs Similarly for the main manufacturing building area samples obtained from the first row near the building shall be analyzed first Results will dictate which samples from the second row if any should be analyzed based upon a comparison to the CT RSR PMCs and DECs In the same manner results of the second row samples shall determine which samples from the third row of borings if any will need to be analyzed

The Respondent may determine compliance with CT RSR PMCs through SPLP or TCLP analysis

Based on the results of the soil VOC analysis if Respondent so elects the Respondent shall submit a plan for the collection of additional soil samples for laboratory analysis for disposal parameters (TCLP metals pH flashpoint reactive cyanide reactive sulfide [EPA SW-846 methods]) from a subset of the soil borings

A Sources of Contamination and Primary Contaminants

13 At the DMC Study Area Respondent has manufactured and currently manufactures metal boxes and displays among other items Respondent has used various solvents during its operations including without limitation TCE (from the 1940s through the present) 111-TCA (from 1973-1976) and methylene chloride (used from 1976 through the present) In 1982 solvent usage was approximately 1000 gallons per month and the wastewater stream was approximately 4000 gallons per month

14 In 1951 Respondent installed a 750-gallon settling tank to receive wastewater and paint sludge from wet paint spray booths and a caustic stripper tank Approximately 500 gallons per year of sludge were pumped from the tank Supernatant in the tank was discharged into a ditch located in the DMC Study Area Approximately 1200 gallons of water per week moved through the settling tank to the ditch as a result of cleaning operations of the wet paint spray booths

15 An aeration pond was constructed in 1960 to receive non-contact cooling water from the degreasing and spot-welding operations and storm water from drains located around the parking lot and roof

16 In 1974 Respondent replaced the 750-gallon tank with a 5000-gallon tank which continued to receive wastewater and sludge from the wet paint spray booths and caustic stripper Water was eventually drained into a leaching field located in the DMC Study Area

17 From approximately 1974 through 1978 Respondent used unlined sludge drying beds in its wastewater treatment operations Accumulated paint sludge from the settling tank was directed into one of two drying beds approximately twice a year The sludge was dug out of the drying beds by hand approximately once a year drummed and taken to the DurhamMiddlefield landfill for disposal

18 Based on analytical data from extraction well EX-6 on the DMC Study Area a methylene chloride spill occurred in the area sometime in the mid-1990s

19 The primary contaminants in soil at the DMC Study Area include chlorinated VOCs such as TCE PCE and methylene chloride and non-chlorinated VOCs such as ethylbenzene toluene total xylenes and MTBE Primary contaminants in overburden (shallow) groundwater at the DMC Study Area include chlorinated VOCs such as TCE PCE and methylene chloride and non-chlorinated VOCs such as benzene ethylbenzene toluene and total xylenes Chlorinated VOCs detected in deeper bedrock groundwater wells at the DMC Study Area include TCE PCE 111-TCA 11-DCA 11-dichloroethene (11-DCE) 12-dichloroethene (12-DCE) cisshy12-dichloroethene (cis- 12-DCE) methylene chloride and vinyl chloride

20 A primary source of groundwater contamination in the Site-wide Groundwater Study Area includes spills past waste disposal practices andor other Site activities at the DMC Study Area The overburden soils impacted by this Study Area are another likely source of groundwater contamination in the bedrock aquifer

21 The primary contaminants in the Site-wide Groundwater Study Area are VOCs primarily chlorinated solvents (PCE TCE and 111-TCA) VOCs detected included solvents used in the industrial processes at the DMC Study Area Daughter compounds that likely result from the degradation of the primary chlorinated solvents were also detected in bedrock groundwater including cis-12-DCE trans-12-dichloroethene 11-DCE 11-DCA and vinyl chloride

B Exposure Pathways and Risks

22 Exposure to the contaminants described above in Paragraph 19 at the DMC Study Area presents a significant risk to human health if left untreated As described in the Section G of the ROD EPAs generally acceptable risk range for site-related exposure is 10-4 to 10-6 (1E-04 to

1E-06 or 1 in 10000 to 1 in a million) In assessing the potential for non-cancer adverse effects a hazard quotient (HQ) is calculated An HQ less than or equal to 1 (1E+00) indicates that toxic noncarcinogenic effects from a given chemical are unlikely

23 The unacceptable levels of cancer risk and non-cancer hazard caused by the actual or threatened release from the Site of the hazardous substances identified in Paragraphs 19 and 21 result in the following increased risks

a The excess lifetime cancer risk estimate for the current and future commercial worker for exposure to contaminants contained in untreated groundwater (by ingestion and dermal contact) from the DMC Study Area supply well (DMC 1) is 2E-04 and the estimated non-cancer risk is a hazard index of 5

b The excess lifetime cancer risk estimate for the future resident that may come to be located at the DMC Study Area and potentially exposed to contaminants contained in indoor air (by inhalation) following untreated vapor migration from overburden groundwater is 8E-03 and the estimated non-cancer risk is a hazard index of 4

c The estimated non-cancer risk for the future construction worker for exposure to contaminants contained in untreated shallow groundwater (by dermal contact) at the DMC Study Area is a hazard index of 30 and

d The excess lifetime cancer risk estimates for current and future residential exposure to contaminants contained in untreated groundwater (by ingestion dermal contact and inhalation) in the Site-wide Groundwater Study Area as household water range from 2E-04 to 3E-02 and the estimated non-cancer risks range from 2 to 900

24 Shallow and deeper groundwater at the DMC Study Area exhibits elevated concentrations of the contaminants described above in Paragraph 19 The levels of untreated groundwater contaminants exceed federal and state drinking water levels The levels of untreated groundwater contaminants also exceed state and federal levels related to the volatilization of contaminants into indoor air Soil at the DMC Study area exceeds direct contact and pollutant mobility criteria established by the States Remediation Standard Regulations The presence of these elevated levels of contaminants if not addressed poses an unacceptable level of risk to human health

25 A zone of groundwater contamination extends off of the DMC Study Area primarily to the south and southwest VOC concentrations in untreated groundwater exceeding federal and state drinking water levels extend off of the DMC Study Area and have impacted residential drinking wells in this area The presence of VOCs poses an unacceptable level of risk to human health namely through residential household water exposure to untreated groundwater

26 A range of health effects is associated with exposure to the primary contaminants

detected at the DMC Study Area and in the Site-wide Groundwater Study Area Benzene and vinyl chloride are known human carcinogens methylene chloride 11 -DCE PCE and TCE are probable or possible human carcinogens The effects of exposure to other contaminants (ethylbenzene 111-TCA and toluene) include eye nose and throat irritation nausea loss of coordination liver and kidney damage central nervous system damage and teratogenic effects

C Selected Remedy

27 The ROD sets forth the selected remedy for the Site which is detailed and described therein

28 This Order requires soil and groundwater sampling to support the remedial design of the excavation and off-site disposal of hot spot areas of soil contamination which is a portion of the remedy for the DMC Study Area Such remedial action will significantly reduce the risk posed to construction workers through direct contact of contaminants in groundwater immediately upon completion of the excavation and will reduce the concentrations of contaminants in groundwater by removing ongoing sources of contamination

29 This Order also requires that a sub-slab depressurization system be installed under the main manufacturing building at the DMC Study Area to mitigate the potential threat of the intrusion of contaminated vapors into the building

D Identification of Respondent

30 Respondent is a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Connecticut with its principal place of business in Durham Connecticut

III SELECTED REMEDY

The ROD describes the remedy for the Site For the DMC Study Area specifically the ROD provides for soil excavation and off-site disposal of hot spot areas in order to address risks to human health from contamination in overburden (shallow) groundwater and to address source contamination Institutional controls primarily in the form of Environmental Land Use Restrictions (ELURs) as defined in the CT Remediation Standard Regulations (RSRs) andor by local ordinance will also be required to prevent unrestricted future use or use of contaminated groundwater EPA has selected other remedies for other portions of the Site

Components of the remedy to be performed by the Respondent pursuant to the Order and this SOW include Remedial Design Sampling of soil and groundwater at the DMC Study Area to more fully define the lateral and vertical extent of soil contamination and the installation of a sub-slab system to depressurize the area under the entire foundation of the main manufacturing building at the DMC Study Area

Sections IV and V discuss the Performance Standards and Sampling Plan for Remedial Design Sampling activities at the DMC Study Area Sections VI and VII discuss the Performance Standards and Plans to address activities related to the installation of a sub-

IV PERFORMANCE STANDARDS for REMEDIAL DESIGN SAMPLING

This section defines the Performance Standards for Remedial Design Sampling at the DMC Study Area

The Respondent shall conduct Remedial Design Sampling in order to provide all information required to design construct operate monitor and maintain the remedy at the DMC Study Area in compliance with Section L of the ROD all applicable or relevant and appropriate (ARAR) standards cited in the ROD and all Performance Standards for the components of the DMC Study Area remedy Remedial Design Sampling activities include sampling of groundwater and soil analysis and validation of data and tabulation and evaluation of data The Respondent shall comply with all requirements of the Order and this SOW

The DMC Study Area remedy addresses contamination in overburden (shallow) groundwater at the DMC Study Area through soil excavation as described in the ROD The focus of this remedy is removing the Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and possible Dense Non-Aqueous Phase Liquid (DNAPL) contamination in the overburden soils that are likely acting as continual sources of groundwater contamination These sources are located at the degreasing and former solvent storage area at the Northwest Corner Area the WS-20 Area and potentially in the Eastern Area

The Respondent shall conduct groundwater and soil sampling to determine the extent of groundwater hot spots and the extent of soil contamination acting as a source to ongoing groundwater contamination Groundwater hot spots are considered those areas demonstrating high concentrations of VOCs and the likely presence of DNAPL Initial investigations shall focus around the Northwest Corner Area the WS-20 Area and the Eastern Area

The Respondent shall collect data that supports remedial activities and allows for the design of a soil excavation remedy that (i) removes source areas to the maximum extent practicable (with the goal of meeting Interim Cleanup Levels for groundwater in the DMC Study Area as outlined in Table 42 of the ROD) and (ii) removes any soils exceeding CT RSR PMCs and DECs The Respondent shall conduct groundwater and soil sampling work reasonably concurrently The Respondent shall perform groundwater sampling to determine the extent of groundwater hot spots and provide information required to develop a post-remedial long-term groundwater monitoring plan The Respondent shall perform soil sampling to fully define the vertical and lateral extent of

Statement of Work for DMC UAO Version FINAL Durham Meadows Superfund Site Date July 26 2007 Durham Connecticut Page 3 of 30

soil with VOCs in excess of the CT RSR PMCs and DECs as well as to determine the extent of soil which if removed would be considered RCRA listed waste whether any soil contains RCRA characteristic waste based on TCLP analysis and potentially applicable disposal requirements and limitations such as RCRA land disposal restrictions

A General Requirements

Prior to implementation of any on-site field work the Respondent shall submit to EPA for its approval a field schedule that allows for EPA andor CT DEP oversight and split sampling

The Respondent shall conduct a survey of all sampling locations

The Respondent shall determine whether acquisition of access to neighboring properties is needed and take steps to acquire such access as necessary Initially access to the property located north of DMCs main manufacturing building will be required the Respondent shall make best efforts to obtain access and notify EPA immediately if access is denied

The Respondent shall determine the placement of utilities in areas to be sampled or where monitoring wells will be installed and take the appropriate steps to ensure the safety of the field team and on-site DMC workers The Respondent shall ensure that utilities are not disrupted during field sampling by creating andor updating a utility map prior to the start of any field work

To the extent that the Respondent generates investigation-derived waste the Respondent shall characterize and dispose of such waste in accordance with local State and Federal regulations Prior to any off-site transport of waste facilities selected for off-site disposal must be deemed acceptable by EPA as required pursuant to 40 CFR 300440

The Respondent shall provide copies of all raw data field notes boring logs detection limits data validation information or any other data collected to EPA and CT DEP

B Groundwater Sampling

The Respondent shall inspect all existing overburden groundwater monitoring wells within the DMC Study Area in order to determine whether they are in a condition adequate to perform low-flow groundwater sampling The Respondent

Statement of Work for DMC UAO Version FINAL Durham Meadows Superfund Site Date July 26 2007 Durham Connecticut Page 4 of 30

shall replace any unusable existing groundwater monitoring well with a new well located reasonably close to such unusable existing well The Respondent shall submit their evaluation of the viability of existing wells construction details of any unusable existing wells and the approximate location and construction details of any replacement wells to EPA for review and approval EPA approval shall be required prior to the Respondent sampling any existing or replacement groundwater monitoring wells or installing any replacement wells

In addition to replacing any unusable existing wells five groundwater wells shall be required to investigate the Eastern Area EPA in conjunction with CT DEP shall determine the exact location of the required groundwater wells in the Eastern Area

The Respondent shall conduct all new or replacement well installation in a manner that ensures continuous soil samples can be collected for screening during drilling (such as with direct push technology or a hollow stem auger) and where appropriate sampled During well installation soil shall be visually examined for evidence of DNAPL If DNAPL is visible in soil the Respondent shall conduct dye testing on the affected soil (using Sudan IV or similar dye) The Respondent shall also perform continuous screening of soil samples using a photoionization detector (PID) During screening the soil will be split open and the PID probe placed in the opening and covered with a gloved hand Any specific soil interval that indicates a PIC reading gt100 parts per million total detectible organic vapors will undergo further dye testing (using Sudan IV or similar dye)

Upon EPA approval the Respondent shall conduct groundwater sampling of the usable existing wells the replacement wells and the five new wells in the Eastern Area in a single sampling event

Groundwater sampling shall be conducted using low flow sampling techniques as described in EPA Region I Low Stress (low flow) Purging and Sampling Procedure for the Collection of Ground Water Samples from Monitoring Wells dated July 30 1996 Groundwater samples shall be analyzed for VOCs by EPA method 5242 or SW-846 method 8620 All groundwater sampling results shall be validated pursuant to Attachment A

During groundwater sampling the Respondent shall visually observe for the presence of DNAPL Dye testing (using Sudan IV or similar dye) or screening of the wells with an interface probe shall be performed where DNAPL is visually observed in groundwater (The absence of DNAPL observations or negative test results however does not rule out the presence of DNAPL)

Statement of Work for DMC UAO Version FINAL Durham Meadows Superfund Site Date July 26 2007

Additional investigation including additional soil sampling in the Eastern Area may be required after reviewing data from groundwater well sampling

C Soil Sampling

Substantially concurrent with groundwater sampling Respondent shall conduct soil borings and soil sampling on a grid pattern at the Northwest Corner Area and the WS-20 Area to define the extent of soil contamination exceeding the CT RSR PMCs and DECs As stated above additional soil sampling in the Eastern Area may be required after reviewing data from groundwater well sampling

The Respondent shall collect soil samples in a grid pattern Soil samples shall continue outwards as defined below in all directions (both laterally and vertically) until samples do not exceed CT RSR PMCs and DECs or until a building foundation is encountered If samples from the final row of the grid areas defined below exceed either CT RSR PMCs or DECs additional soil sampling shall be required unless a building foundation is encountered The Respondent shall submit the proposed grid and locations of soil borings and soil sampling to EPA for review and approval EPA approval shall be required prior to the Respondent implementing soil boring and soil sampling activities

At the Northwest Corner Area the Respondent shall collect samples in a grid The initial round of soil sampling shall include three rows of borings The first row of samples shall start five feet from the outer northern wall of the building The row shall contain five or six sampling locations spaced 30 feet apart the number of sampling locations in each row should be determined based on past data allowing a buffer zone to ensure the lateral edges of the contaminated zone to the east and west are fully defined The row shall begin at approximately the western edge of the building and extend at least 150 feet to the east The row shall be repeated northward every 15 feet subject to obtaining access from abutters (The second row shall be 20 feet from the building wall and the third row shall be 35 feet from the building wall) The borings shall extend to the east and west as necessary to define the lateral extent of exceedances of the CT RSR PMCs and DECs

At the WS-20 Area the Respondent shall advance radial soil borings centered around well WS-20 with radial spokes extending in the four compass directions Samples shall be taken in 10 foot intervals with the first iteration being four borings and the successive iterations being eight borings with iterations spaced 10 feet apart The initial round of soil sampling shall include

Statement of Work for DMC UAO Version FINAL Durham Meadows Superfund Site Date July 26 2007 Durham Connecticut Page 6 of 30

both rings (the inner ring 10 feet removed from WS-20 with four borings and the outer ring 20 feet removed from WS-20 with eight borings)

At each boring location the Respondent shall collect three to four samples The Respondent shall determine sample depths by where higher VOC concentrations may be anticipated at the interface between the fill and the ablation till at the interface between the ablation till and the till at the water table and just above the bedrock surface (EPA Remedial Investigation Figures 34-2 and 34-3 indicate that the fill layer is typically two feet deep the ablation till varies from approximately three to eight feet in depth and till is on the order of 10 foot depth The water table depth is approximately 10 feet and bedrock depth approximately

20 feet) Where the ablation tilltill interface is close to the water table separate samples may not be required and three samples per boring location may be sufficient Observation and field screening of sample cores indicating soil with staining or high levels of VOCs may take precedence in selecting sample collection depth locations as described above

The Respondent may elect to conduct one additional round of Remedial Design sampling to more accurately delineate soil exceeding the CT RSR PMCs and DECs as long as such sampling does not delay the remedial action The Respondent shall propose the additional round of sampling to EPA and CT DEP The Respondent shall not conduct an additional round of sampling without receiving EPA approval

Respondent may also elect to collect concurrent samples during work being performed under this SOW provided such samples are analyzed within the appropriate holding times and otherwise comply with this SOW Any concurrent samples collected during the sampling planned as part of this SOW shall not require EPA approval but Respondent shall provide written notice of such sampling at least three days after such sampling occurs

Any additional or concurrent sampling shall be tighter (ie within an area between a sampling location meeting the CT RSR PMCs and DECs and another sampling location not meeting such soil standards) and no closer than five feet outward from a soil sample location not meeting the CT RSR PMCs or DECs Sampling depths intervals and protocols shall be similar to those required by this SOW The Respondent shall provide the results of all data to EPA and CT DEP

The Respondent shall advance all soil borings using direct-push techniques The Respondent shall visually observe the soil for the presence of DNAPL and perform continuous screening of soil samples and dye testing as necessary as

Statement of Work for DMC UAO Version FINAL Durham Meadows Superfund Site Date July 26 2007 Durham Connecticut Page 7 of 30

described in Section IVB Respondent shall use standard EPA Region I QAQC and data validation procedures as well as CT DEPs Guidance for Collecting and Preserving Soil and Sediment Samples for Laboratory Determination of Volatile Organic Compounds dated February 28 2006 The Respondent shall provide copies of all raw data field notes boring logs detection limits and data validation information to EPA and CT DEP

The Respondent shall analyze each soil sample for VOCs using EPA SW-846 8260

The Respondent shall have the option to perform laboratory analysis of soil samples iteratively so long as all samples are analyzed within the prescribed 14 day holding time and standard EPA Region I QAQC and data validation procedures are met For the WS-20 area the inner ring samples shall be analyzed first results would then determine which samples obtained from the second ring of borings if any need to be analyzed based upon a comparison to the CT RSR PMCs and DECs Similarly for the main manufacturing building area samples obtained from the first row near the building shall be analyzed first Results will dictate which samples from the second row if any should be analyzed based upon a comparison to the CT RSR PMCs and DECs In the same manner results of the second row samples shall determine which samples from the third row of borings if any will need to be analyzed

The Respondent may determine compliance with CT RSR PMCs through SPLP or TCLP analysis

Based on the results of the soil VOC analysis if Respondent so elects the Respondent shall submit a plan for the collection of additional soil samples for laboratory analysis for disposal parameters (TCLP metals pH flashpoint reactive cyanide reactive sulfide [EPA SW-846 methods]) from a subset of the soil borings

A Sources of Contamination and Primary Contaminants

13 At the DMC Study Area Respondent has manufactured and currently manufactures metal boxes and displays among other items Respondent has used various solvents during its operations including without limitation TCE (from the 1940s through the present) 111-TCA (from 1973-1976) and methylene chloride (used from 1976 through the present) In 1982 solvent usage was approximately 1000 gallons per month and the wastewater stream was approximately 4000 gallons per month

14 In 1951 Respondent installed a 750-gallon settling tank to receive wastewater and paint sludge from wet paint spray booths and a caustic stripper tank Approximately 500 gallons per year of sludge were pumped from the tank Supernatant in the tank was discharged into a ditch located in the DMC Study Area Approximately 1200 gallons of water per week moved through the settling tank to the ditch as a result of cleaning operations of the wet paint spray booths

15 An aeration pond was constructed in 1960 to receive non-contact cooling water from the degreasing and spot-welding operations and storm water from drains located around the parking lot and roof

16 In 1974 Respondent replaced the 750-gallon tank with a 5000-gallon tank which continued to receive wastewater and sludge from the wet paint spray booths and caustic stripper Water was eventually drained into a leaching field located in the DMC Study Area

17 From approximately 1974 through 1978 Respondent used unlined sludge drying beds in its wastewater treatment operations Accumulated paint sludge from the settling tank was directed into one of two drying beds approximately twice a year The sludge was dug out of the drying beds by hand approximately once a year drummed and taken to the DurhamMiddlefield landfill for disposal

18 Based on analytical data from extraction well EX-6 on the DMC Study Area a methylene chloride spill occurred in the area sometime in the mid-1990s

19 The primary contaminants in soil at the DMC Study Area include chlorinated VOCs such as TCE PCE and methylene chloride and non-chlorinated VOCs such as ethylbenzene toluene total xylenes and MTBE Primary contaminants in overburden (shallow) groundwater at the DMC Study Area include chlorinated VOCs such as TCE PCE and methylene chloride and non-chlorinated VOCs such as benzene ethylbenzene toluene and total xylenes Chlorinated VOCs detected in deeper bedrock groundwater wells at the DMC Study Area include TCE PCE 111-TCA 11-DCA 11-dichloroethene (11-DCE) 12-dichloroethene (12-DCE) cisshy12-dichloroethene (cis- 12-DCE) methylene chloride and vinyl chloride

20 A primary source of groundwater contamination in the Site-wide Groundwater Study Area includes spills past waste disposal practices andor other Site activities at the DMC Study Area The overburden soils impacted by this Study Area are another likely source of groundwater contamination in the bedrock aquifer

21 The primary contaminants in the Site-wide Groundwater Study Area are VOCs primarily chlorinated solvents (PCE TCE and 111-TCA) VOCs detected included solvents used in the industrial processes at the DMC Study Area Daughter compounds that likely result from the degradation of the primary chlorinated solvents were also detected in bedrock groundwater including cis-12-DCE trans-12-dichloroethene 11-DCE 11-DCA and vinyl chloride

B Exposure Pathways and Risks

22 Exposure to the contaminants described above in Paragraph 19 at the DMC Study Area presents a significant risk to human health if left untreated As described in the Section G of the ROD EPAs generally acceptable risk range for site-related exposure is 10-4 to 10-6 (1E-04 to

1E-06 or 1 in 10000 to 1 in a million) In assessing the potential for non-cancer adverse effects a hazard quotient (HQ) is calculated An HQ less than or equal to 1 (1E+00) indicates that toxic noncarcinogenic effects from a given chemical are unlikely

23 The unacceptable levels of cancer risk and non-cancer hazard caused by the actual or threatened release from the Site of the hazardous substances identified in Paragraphs 19 and 21 result in the following increased risks

a The excess lifetime cancer risk estimate for the current and future commercial worker for exposure to contaminants contained in untreated groundwater (by ingestion and dermal contact) from the DMC Study Area supply well (DMC 1) is 2E-04 and the estimated non-cancer risk is a hazard index of 5

b The excess lifetime cancer risk estimate for the future resident that may come to be located at the DMC Study Area and potentially exposed to contaminants contained in indoor air (by inhalation) following untreated vapor migration from overburden groundwater is 8E-03 and the estimated non-cancer risk is a hazard index of 4

c The estimated non-cancer risk for the future construction worker for exposure to contaminants contained in untreated shallow groundwater (by dermal contact) at the DMC Study Area is a hazard index of 30 and

d The excess lifetime cancer risk estimates for current and future residential exposure to contaminants contained in untreated groundwater (by ingestion dermal contact and inhalation) in the Site-wide Groundwater Study Area as household water range from 2E-04 to 3E-02 and the estimated non-cancer risks range from 2 to 900

24 Shallow and deeper groundwater at the DMC Study Area exhibits elevated concentrations of the contaminants described above in Paragraph 19 The levels of untreated groundwater contaminants exceed federal and state drinking water levels The levels of untreated groundwater contaminants also exceed state and federal levels related to the volatilization of contaminants into indoor air Soil at the DMC Study area exceeds direct contact and pollutant mobility criteria established by the States Remediation Standard Regulations The presence of these elevated levels of contaminants if not addressed poses an unacceptable level of risk to human health

25 A zone of groundwater contamination extends off of the DMC Study Area primarily to the south and southwest VOC concentrations in untreated groundwater exceeding federal and state drinking water levels extend off of the DMC Study Area and have impacted residential drinking wells in this area The presence of VOCs poses an unacceptable level of risk to human health namely through residential household water exposure to untreated groundwater

26 A range of health effects is associated with exposure to the primary contaminants

detected at the DMC Study Area and in the Site-wide Groundwater Study Area Benzene and vinyl chloride are known human carcinogens methylene chloride 11 -DCE PCE and TCE are probable or possible human carcinogens The effects of exposure to other contaminants (ethylbenzene 111-TCA and toluene) include eye nose and throat irritation nausea loss of coordination liver and kidney damage central nervous system damage and teratogenic effects

C Selected Remedy

27 The ROD sets forth the selected remedy for the Site which is detailed and described therein

28 This Order requires soil and groundwater sampling to support the remedial design of the excavation and off-site disposal of hot spot areas of soil contamination which is a portion of the remedy for the DMC Study Area Such remedial action will significantly reduce the risk posed to construction workers through direct contact of contaminants in groundwater immediately upon completion of the excavation and will reduce the concentrations of contaminants in groundwater by removing ongoing sources of contamination

29 This Order also requires that a sub-slab depressurization system be installed under the main manufacturing building at the DMC Study Area to mitigate the potential threat of the intrusion of contaminated vapors into the building

D Identification of Respondent

30 Respondent is a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Connecticut with its principal place of business in Durham Connecticut

31 Respondent is the owner of the property at 201 Main Street Durham Connecticut and has been the owner of such property since 1922

32 Respondent has operated a manufacturing facility on the DMC Study Area since 1922

33 By letter dated November 30 1993 EPA notified Respondent of its potential liability with respect to the Site

34 By letter dated April 7 2006 EPA notified Respondent of a sixty-day period to participate in formal negotiations to reach a settlement to conduct or finance response actions at the Site and to reimburse EPA for its response costs

35 In performing response actions at the Site EPA has incurred and will continue to incur response costs at or in connection with the Site

IV CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND DETERMINATIONS

Based on the Findings of Fact set forth above and the Administrative Record supporting this Order EPA has determined that

IV PERFORMANCE STANDARDS for REMEDIAL DESIGN SAMPLING

This section defines the Performance Standards for Remedial Design Sampling at the DMC Study Area

The Respondent shall conduct Remedial Design Sampling in order to provide all information required to design construct operate monitor and maintain the remedy at the DMC Study Area in compliance with Section L of the ROD all applicable or relevant and appropriate (ARAR) standards cited in the ROD and all Performance Standards for the components of the DMC Study Area remedy Remedial Design Sampling activities include sampling of groundwater and soil analysis and validation of data and tabulation and evaluation of data The Respondent shall comply with all requirements of the Order and this SOW

The DMC Study Area remedy addresses contamination in overburden (shallow) groundwater at the DMC Study Area through soil excavation as described in the ROD The focus of this remedy is removing the Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and possible Dense Non-Aqueous Phase Liquid (DNAPL) contamination in the overburden soils that are likely acting as continual sources of groundwater contamination These sources are located at the degreasing and former solvent storage area at the Northwest Corner Area the WS-20 Area and potentially in the Eastern Area

The Respondent shall conduct groundwater and soil sampling to determine the extent of groundwater hot spots and the extent of soil contamination acting as a source to ongoing groundwater contamination Groundwater hot spots are considered those areas demonstrating high concentrations of VOCs and the likely presence of DNAPL Initial investigations shall focus around the Northwest Corner Area the WS-20 Area and the Eastern Area

The Respondent shall collect data that supports remedial activities and allows for the design of a soil excavation remedy that (i) removes source areas to the maximum extent practicable (with the goal of meeting Interim Cleanup Levels for groundwater in the DMC Study Area as outlined in Table 42 of the ROD) and (ii) removes any soils exceeding CT RSR PMCs and DECs The Respondent shall conduct groundwater and soil sampling work reasonably concurrently The Respondent shall perform groundwater sampling to determine the extent of groundwater hot spots and provide information required to develop a post-remedial long-term groundwater monitoring plan The Respondent shall perform soil sampling to fully define the vertical and lateral extent of

Statement of Work for DMC UAO Version FINAL Durham Meadows Superfund Site Date July 26 2007 Durham Connecticut Page 3 of 30

soil with VOCs in excess of the CT RSR PMCs and DECs as well as to determine the extent of soil which if removed would be considered RCRA listed waste whether any soil contains RCRA characteristic waste based on TCLP analysis and potentially applicable disposal requirements and limitations such as RCRA land disposal restrictions

A General Requirements

Prior to implementation of any on-site field work the Respondent shall submit to EPA for its approval a field schedule that allows for EPA andor CT DEP oversight and split sampling

The Respondent shall conduct a survey of all sampling locations

The Respondent shall determine whether acquisition of access to neighboring properties is needed and take steps to acquire such access as necessary Initially access to the property located north of DMCs main manufacturing building will be required the Respondent shall make best efforts to obtain access and notify EPA immediately if access is denied

The Respondent shall determine the placement of utilities in areas to be sampled or where monitoring wells will be installed and take the appropriate steps to ensure the safety of the field team and on-site DMC workers The Respondent shall ensure that utilities are not disrupted during field sampling by creating andor updating a utility map prior to the start of any field work

To the extent that the Respondent generates investigation-derived waste the Respondent shall characterize and dispose of such waste in accordance with local State and Federal regulations Prior to any off-site transport of waste facilities selected for off-site disposal must be deemed acceptable by EPA as required pursuant to 40 CFR 300440

The Respondent shall provide copies of all raw data field notes boring logs detection limits data validation information or any other data collected to EPA and CT DEP

B Groundwater Sampling

The Respondent shall inspect all existing overburden groundwater monitoring wells within the DMC Study Area in order to determine whether they are in a condition adequate to perform low-flow groundwater sampling The Respondent

Statement of Work for DMC UAO Version FINAL Durham Meadows Superfund Site Date July 26 2007 Durham Connecticut Page 4 of 30

shall replace any unusable existing groundwater monitoring well with a new well located reasonably close to such unusable existing well The Respondent shall submit their evaluation of the viability of existing wells construction details of any unusable existing wells and the approximate location and construction details of any replacement wells to EPA for review and approval EPA approval shall be required prior to the Respondent sampling any existing or replacement groundwater monitoring wells or installing any replacement wells

In addition to replacing any unusable existing wells five groundwater wells shall be required to investigate the Eastern Area EPA in conjunction with CT DEP shall determine the exact location of the required groundwater wells in the Eastern Area

The Respondent shall conduct all new or replacement well installation in a manner that ensures continuous soil samples can be collected for screening during drilling (such as with direct push technology or a hollow stem auger) and where appropriate sampled During well installation soil shall be visually examined for evidence of DNAPL If DNAPL is visible in soil the Respondent shall conduct dye testing on the affected soil (using Sudan IV or similar dye) The Respondent shall also perform continuous screening of soil samples using a photoionization detector (PID) During screening the soil will be split open and the PID probe placed in the opening and covered with a gloved hand Any specific soil interval that indicates a PIC reading gt100 parts per million total detectible organic vapors will undergo further dye testing (using Sudan IV or similar dye)

Upon EPA approval the Respondent shall conduct groundwater sampling of the usable existing wells the replacement wells and the five new wells in the Eastern Area in a single sampling event

Groundwater sampling shall be conducted using low flow sampling techniques as described in EPA Region I Low Stress (low flow) Purging and Sampling Procedure for the Collection of Ground Water Samples from Monitoring Wells dated July 30 1996 Groundwater samples shall be analyzed for VOCs by EPA method 5242 or SW-846 method 8620 All groundwater sampling results shall be validated pursuant to Attachment A

During groundwater sampling the Respondent shall visually observe for the presence of DNAPL Dye testing (using Sudan IV or similar dye) or screening of the wells with an interface probe shall be performed where DNAPL is visually observed in groundwater (The absence of DNAPL observations or negative test results however does not rule out the presence of DNAPL)

Statement of Work for DMC UAO Version FINAL Durham Meadows Superfund Site Date July 26 2007

Additional investigation including additional soil sampling in the Eastern Area may be required after reviewing data from groundwater well sampling

C Soil Sampling

Substantially concurrent with groundwater sampling Respondent shall conduct soil borings and soil sampling on a grid pattern at the Northwest Corner Area and the WS-20 Area to define the extent of soil contamination exceeding the CT RSR PMCs and DECs As stated above additional soil sampling in the Eastern Area may be required after reviewing data from groundwater well sampling

The Respondent shall collect soil samples in a grid pattern Soil samples shall continue outwards as defined below in all directions (both laterally and vertically) until samples do not exceed CT RSR PMCs and DECs or until a building foundation is encountered If samples from the final row of the grid areas defined below exceed either CT RSR PMCs or DECs additional soil sampling shall be required unless a building foundation is encountered The Respondent shall submit the proposed grid and locations of soil borings and soil sampling to EPA for review and approval EPA approval shall be required prior to the Respondent implementing soil boring and soil sampling activities

At the Northwest Corner Area the Respondent shall collect samples in a grid The initial round of soil sampling shall include three rows of borings The first row of samples shall start five feet from the outer northern wall of the building The row shall contain five or six sampling locations spaced 30 feet apart the number of sampling locations in each row should be determined based on past data allowing a buffer zone to ensure the lateral edges of the contaminated zone to the east and west are fully defined The row shall begin at approximately the western edge of the building and extend at least 150 feet to the east The row shall be repeated northward every 15 feet subject to obtaining access from abutters (The second row shall be 20 feet from the building wall and the third row shall be 35 feet from the building wall) The borings shall extend to the east and west as necessary to define the lateral extent of exceedances of the CT RSR PMCs and DECs

At the WS-20 Area the Respondent shall advance radial soil borings centered around well WS-20 with radial spokes extending in the four compass directions Samples shall be taken in 10 foot intervals with the first iteration being four borings and the successive iterations being eight borings with iterations spaced 10 feet apart The initial round of soil sampling shall include

Statement of Work for DMC UAO Version FINAL Durham Meadows Superfund Site Date July 26 2007 Durham Connecticut Page 6 of 30

both rings (the inner ring 10 feet removed from WS-20 with four borings and the outer ring 20 feet removed from WS-20 with eight borings)

At each boring location the Respondent shall collect three to four samples The Respondent shall determine sample depths by where higher VOC concentrations may be anticipated at the interface between the fill and the ablation till at the interface between the ablation till and the till at the water table and just above the bedrock surface (EPA Remedial Investigation Figures 34-2 and 34-3 indicate that the fill layer is typically two feet deep the ablation till varies from approximately three to eight feet in depth and till is on the order of 10 foot depth The water table depth is approximately 10 feet and bedrock depth approximately

20 feet) Where the ablation tilltill interface is close to the water table separate samples may not be required and three samples per boring location may be sufficient Observation and field screening of sample cores indicating soil with staining or high levels of VOCs may take precedence in selecting sample collection depth locations as described above

The Respondent may elect to conduct one additional round of Remedial Design sampling to more accurately delineate soil exceeding the CT RSR PMCs and DECs as long as such sampling does not delay the remedial action The Respondent shall propose the additional round of sampling to EPA and CT DEP The Respondent shall not conduct an additional round of sampling without receiving EPA approval

Respondent may also elect to collect concurrent samples during work being performed under this SOW provided such samples are analyzed within the appropriate holding times and otherwise comply with this SOW Any concurrent samples collected during the sampling planned as part of this SOW shall not require EPA approval but Respondent shall provide written notice of such sampling at least three days after such sampling occurs

Any additional or concurrent sampling shall be tighter (ie within an area between a sampling location meeting the CT RSR PMCs and DECs and another sampling location not meeting such soil standards) and no closer than five feet outward from a soil sample location not meeting the CT RSR PMCs or DECs Sampling depths intervals and protocols shall be similar to those required by this SOW The Respondent shall provide the results of all data to EPA and CT DEP

The Respondent shall advance all soil borings using direct-push techniques The Respondent shall visually observe the soil for the presence of DNAPL and perform continuous screening of soil samples and dye testing as necessary as

Statement of Work for DMC UAO Version FINAL Durham Meadows Superfund Site Date July 26 2007 Durham Connecticut Page 7 of 30

described in Section IVB Respondent shall use standard EPA Region I QAQC and data validation procedures as well as CT DEPs Guidance for Collecting and Preserving Soil and Sediment Samples for Laboratory Determination of Volatile Organic Compounds dated February 28 2006 The Respondent shall provide copies of all raw data field notes boring logs detection limits and data validation information to EPA and CT DEP

The Respondent shall analyze each soil sample for VOCs using EPA SW-846 8260

The Respondent shall have the option to perform laboratory analysis of soil samples iteratively so long as all samples are analyzed within the prescribed 14 day holding time and standard EPA Region I QAQC and data validation procedures are met For the WS-20 area the inner ring samples shall be analyzed first results would then determine which samples obtained from the second ring of borings if any need to be analyzed based upon a comparison to the CT RSR PMCs and DECs Similarly for the main manufacturing building area samples obtained from the first row near the building shall be analyzed first Results will dictate which samples from the second row if any should be analyzed based upon a comparison to the CT RSR PMCs and DECs In the same manner results of the second row samples shall determine which samples from the third row of borings if any will need to be analyzed

The Respondent may determine compliance with CT RSR PMCs through SPLP or TCLP analysis

Based on the results of the soil VOC analysis if Respondent so elects the Respondent shall submit a plan for the collection of additional soil samples for laboratory analysis for disposal parameters (TCLP metals pH flashpoint reactive cyanide reactive sulfide [EPA SW-846 methods]) from a subset of the soil borings

A Sources of Contamination and Primary Contaminants

13 At the DMC Study Area Respondent has manufactured and currently manufactures metal boxes and displays among other items Respondent has used various solvents during its operations including without limitation TCE (from the 1940s through the present) 111-TCA (from 1973-1976) and methylene chloride (used from 1976 through the present) In 1982 solvent usage was approximately 1000 gallons per month and the wastewater stream was approximately 4000 gallons per month

14 In 1951 Respondent installed a 750-gallon settling tank to receive wastewater and paint sludge from wet paint spray booths and a caustic stripper tank Approximately 500 gallons per year of sludge were pumped from the tank Supernatant in the tank was discharged into a ditch located in the DMC Study Area Approximately 1200 gallons of water per week moved through the settling tank to the ditch as a result of cleaning operations of the wet paint spray booths

15 An aeration pond was constructed in 1960 to receive non-contact cooling water from the degreasing and spot-welding operations and storm water from drains located around the parking lot and roof

16 In 1974 Respondent replaced the 750-gallon tank with a 5000-gallon tank which continued to receive wastewater and sludge from the wet paint spray booths and caustic stripper Water was eventually drained into a leaching field located in the DMC Study Area

17 From approximately 1974 through 1978 Respondent used unlined sludge drying beds in its wastewater treatment operations Accumulated paint sludge from the settling tank was directed into one of two drying beds approximately twice a year The sludge was dug out of the drying beds by hand approximately once a year drummed and taken to the DurhamMiddlefield landfill for disposal

18 Based on analytical data from extraction well EX-6 on the DMC Study Area a methylene chloride spill occurred in the area sometime in the mid-1990s

19 The primary contaminants in soil at the DMC Study Area include chlorinated VOCs such as TCE PCE and methylene chloride and non-chlorinated VOCs such as ethylbenzene toluene total xylenes and MTBE Primary contaminants in overburden (shallow) groundwater at the DMC Study Area include chlorinated VOCs such as TCE PCE and methylene chloride and non-chlorinated VOCs such as benzene ethylbenzene toluene and total xylenes Chlorinated VOCs detected in deeper bedrock groundwater wells at the DMC Study Area include TCE PCE 111-TCA 11-DCA 11-dichloroethene (11-DCE) 12-dichloroethene (12-DCE) cisshy12-dichloroethene (cis- 12-DCE) methylene chloride and vinyl chloride

20 A primary source of groundwater contamination in the Site-wide Groundwater Study Area includes spills past waste disposal practices andor other Site activities at the DMC Study Area The overburden soils impacted by this Study Area are another likely source of groundwater contamination in the bedrock aquifer

21 The primary contaminants in the Site-wide Groundwater Study Area are VOCs primarily chlorinated solvents (PCE TCE and 111-TCA) VOCs detected included solvents used in the industrial processes at the DMC Study Area Daughter compounds that likely result from the degradation of the primary chlorinated solvents were also detected in bedrock groundwater including cis-12-DCE trans-12-dichloroethene 11-DCE 11-DCA and vinyl chloride

B Exposure Pathways and Risks

22 Exposure to the contaminants described above in Paragraph 19 at the DMC Study Area presents a significant risk to human health if left untreated As described in the Section G of the ROD EPAs generally acceptable risk range for site-related exposure is 10-4 to 10-6 (1E-04 to

1E-06 or 1 in 10000 to 1 in a million) In assessing the potential for non-cancer adverse effects a hazard quotient (HQ) is calculated An HQ less than or equal to 1 (1E+00) indicates that toxic noncarcinogenic effects from a given chemical are unlikely

23 The unacceptable levels of cancer risk and non-cancer hazard caused by the actual or threatened release from the Site of the hazardous substances identified in Paragraphs 19 and 21 result in the following increased risks

a The excess lifetime cancer risk estimate for the current and future commercial worker for exposure to contaminants contained in untreated groundwater (by ingestion and dermal contact) from the DMC Study Area supply well (DMC 1) is 2E-04 and the estimated non-cancer risk is a hazard index of 5

b The excess lifetime cancer risk estimate for the future resident that may come to be located at the DMC Study Area and potentially exposed to contaminants contained in indoor air (by inhalation) following untreated vapor migration from overburden groundwater is 8E-03 and the estimated non-cancer risk is a hazard index of 4

c The estimated non-cancer risk for the future construction worker for exposure to contaminants contained in untreated shallow groundwater (by dermal contact) at the DMC Study Area is a hazard index of 30 and

d The excess lifetime cancer risk estimates for current and future residential exposure to contaminants contained in untreated groundwater (by ingestion dermal contact and inhalation) in the Site-wide Groundwater Study Area as household water range from 2E-04 to 3E-02 and the estimated non-cancer risks range from 2 to 900

24 Shallow and deeper groundwater at the DMC Study Area exhibits elevated concentrations of the contaminants described above in Paragraph 19 The levels of untreated groundwater contaminants exceed federal and state drinking water levels The levels of untreated groundwater contaminants also exceed state and federal levels related to the volatilization of contaminants into indoor air Soil at the DMC Study area exceeds direct contact and pollutant mobility criteria established by the States Remediation Standard Regulations The presence of these elevated levels of contaminants if not addressed poses an unacceptable level of risk to human health

25 A zone of groundwater contamination extends off of the DMC Study Area primarily to the south and southwest VOC concentrations in untreated groundwater exceeding federal and state drinking water levels extend off of the DMC Study Area and have impacted residential drinking wells in this area The presence of VOCs poses an unacceptable level of risk to human health namely through residential household water exposure to untreated groundwater

26 A range of health effects is associated with exposure to the primary contaminants

detected at the DMC Study Area and in the Site-wide Groundwater Study Area Benzene and vinyl chloride are known human carcinogens methylene chloride 11 -DCE PCE and TCE are probable or possible human carcinogens The effects of exposure to other contaminants (ethylbenzene 111-TCA and toluene) include eye nose and throat irritation nausea loss of coordination liver and kidney damage central nervous system damage and teratogenic effects

C Selected Remedy

27 The ROD sets forth the selected remedy for the Site which is detailed and described therein

28 This Order requires soil and groundwater sampling to support the remedial design of the excavation and off-site disposal of hot spot areas of soil contamination which is a portion of the remedy for the DMC Study Area Such remedial action will significantly reduce the risk posed to construction workers through direct contact of contaminants in groundwater immediately upon completion of the excavation and will reduce the concentrations of contaminants in groundwater by removing ongoing sources of contamination

29 This Order also requires that a sub-slab depressurization system be installed under the main manufacturing building at the DMC Study Area to mitigate the potential threat of the intrusion of contaminated vapors into the building

D Identification of Respondent

30 Respondent is a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Connecticut with its principal place of business in Durham Connecticut

31 Respondent is the owner of the property at 201 Main Street Durham Connecticut and has been the owner of such property since 1922

32 Respondent has operated a manufacturing facility on the DMC Study Area since 1922

33 By letter dated November 30 1993 EPA notified Respondent of its potential liability with respect to the Site

34 By letter dated April 7 2006 EPA notified Respondent of a sixty-day period to participate in formal negotiations to reach a settlement to conduct or finance response actions at the Site and to reimburse EPA for its response costs

35 In performing response actions at the Site EPA has incurred and will continue to incur response costs at or in connection with the Site

IV PERFORMANCE STANDARDS for REMEDIAL DESIGN SAMPLING

This section defines the Performance Standards for Remedial Design Sampling at the DMC Study Area

The Respondent shall conduct Remedial Design Sampling in order to provide all information required to design construct operate monitor and maintain the remedy at the DMC Study Area in compliance with Section L of the ROD all applicable or relevant and appropriate (ARAR) standards cited in the ROD and all Performance Standards for the components of the DMC Study Area remedy Remedial Design Sampling activities include sampling of groundwater and soil analysis and validation of data and tabulation and evaluation of data The Respondent shall comply with all requirements of the Order and this SOW

The DMC Study Area remedy addresses contamination in overburden (shallow) groundwater at the DMC Study Area through soil excavation as described in the ROD The focus of this remedy is removing the Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and possible Dense Non-Aqueous Phase Liquid (DNAPL) contamination in the overburden soils that are likely acting as continual sources of groundwater contamination These sources are located at the degreasing and former solvent storage area at the Northwest Corner Area the WS-20 Area and potentially in the Eastern Area

The Respondent shall conduct groundwater and soil sampling to determine the extent of groundwater hot spots and the extent of soil contamination acting as a source to ongoing groundwater contamination Groundwater hot spots are considered those areas demonstrating high concentrations of VOCs and the likely presence of DNAPL Initial investigations shall focus around the Northwest Corner Area the WS-20 Area and the Eastern Area

The Respondent shall collect data that supports remedial activities and allows for the design of a soil excavation remedy that (i) removes source areas to the maximum extent practicable (with the goal of meeting Interim Cleanup Levels for groundwater in the DMC Study Area as outlined in Table 42 of the ROD) and (ii) removes any soils exceeding CT RSR PMCs and DECs The Respondent shall conduct groundwater and soil sampling work reasonably concurrently The Respondent shall perform groundwater sampling to determine the extent of groundwater hot spots and provide information required to develop a post-remedial long-term groundwater monitoring plan The Respondent shall perform soil sampling to fully define the vertical and lateral extent of

Statement of Work for DMC UAO Version FINAL Durham Meadows Superfund Site Date July 26 2007 Durham Connecticut Page 3 of 30

soil with VOCs in excess of the CT RSR PMCs and DECs as well as to determine the extent of soil which if removed would be considered RCRA listed waste whether any soil contains RCRA characteristic waste based on TCLP analysis and potentially applicable disposal requirements and limitations such as RCRA land disposal restrictions

A General Requirements

Prior to implementation of any on-site field work the Respondent shall submit to EPA for its approval a field schedule that allows for EPA andor CT DEP oversight and split sampling

The Respondent shall conduct a survey of all sampling locations

The Respondent shall determine whether acquisition of access to neighboring properties is needed and take steps to acquire such access as necessary Initially access to the property located north of DMCs main manufacturing building will be required the Respondent shall make best efforts to obtain access and notify EPA immediately if access is denied

The Respondent shall determine the placement of utilities in areas to be sampled or where monitoring wells will be installed and take the appropriate steps to ensure the safety of the field team and on-site DMC workers The Respondent shall ensure that utilities are not disrupted during field sampling by creating andor updating a utility map prior to the start of any field work

To the extent that the Respondent generates investigation-derived waste the Respondent shall characterize and dispose of such waste in accordance with local State and Federal regulations Prior to any off-site transport of waste facilities selected for off-site disposal must be deemed acceptable by EPA as required pursuant to 40 CFR 300440

The Respondent shall provide copies of all raw data field notes boring logs detection limits data validation information or any other data collected to EPA and CT DEP

B Groundwater Sampling

The Respondent shall inspect all existing overburden groundwater monitoring wells within the DMC Study Area in order to determine whether they are in a condition adequate to perform low-flow groundwater sampling The Respondent

Statement of Work for DMC UAO Version FINAL Durham Meadows Superfund Site Date July 26 2007 Durham Connecticut Page 4 of 30

shall replace any unusable existing groundwater monitoring well with a new well located reasonably close to such unusable existing well The Respondent shall submit their evaluation of the viability of existing wells construction details of any unusable existing wells and the approximate location and construction details of any replacement wells to EPA for review and approval EPA approval shall be required prior to the Respondent sampling any existing or replacement groundwater monitoring wells or installing any replacement wells

In addition to replacing any unusable existing wells five groundwater wells shall be required to investigate the Eastern Area EPA in conjunction with CT DEP shall determine the exact location of the required groundwater wells in the Eastern Area

The Respondent shall conduct all new or replacement well installation in a manner that ensures continuous soil samples can be collected for screening during drilling (such as with direct push technology or a hollow stem auger) and where appropriate sampled During well installation soil shall be visually examined for evidence of DNAPL If DNAPL is visible in soil the Respondent shall conduct dye testing on the affected soil (using Sudan IV or similar dye) The Respondent shall also perform continuous screening of soil samples using a photoionization detector (PID) During screening the soil will be split open and the PID probe placed in the opening and covered with a gloved hand Any specific soil interval that indicates a PIC reading gt100 parts per million total detectible organic vapors will undergo further dye testing (using Sudan IV or similar dye)

Upon EPA approval the Respondent shall conduct groundwater sampling of the usable existing wells the replacement wells and the five new wells in the Eastern Area in a single sampling event

Groundwater sampling shall be conducted using low flow sampling techniques as described in EPA Region I Low Stress (low flow) Purging and Sampling Procedure for the Collection of Ground Water Samples from Monitoring Wells dated July 30 1996 Groundwater samples shall be analyzed for VOCs by EPA method 5242 or SW-846 method 8620 All groundwater sampling results shall be validated pursuant to Attachment A

During groundwater sampling the Respondent shall visually observe for the presence of DNAPL Dye testing (using Sudan IV or similar dye) or screening of the wells with an interface probe shall be performed where DNAPL is visually observed in groundwater (The absence of DNAPL observations or negative test results however does not rule out the presence of DNAPL)

Additional investigation including additional soil sampling in the Eastern Area may be required after reviewing data from groundwater well sampling

C Soil Sampling

Substantially concurrent with groundwater sampling Respondent shall conduct soil borings and soil sampling on a grid pattern at the Northwest Corner Area and the WS-20 Area to define the extent of soil contamination exceeding the CT RSR PMCs and DECs As stated above additional soil sampling in the Eastern Area may be required after reviewing data from groundwater well sampling

The Respondent shall collect soil samples in a grid pattern Soil samples shall continue outwards as defined below in all directions (both laterally and vertically) until samples do not exceed CT RSR PMCs and DECs or until a building foundation is encountered If samples from the final row of the grid areas defined below exceed either CT RSR PMCs or DECs additional soil sampling shall be required unless a building foundation is encountered The Respondent shall submit the proposed grid and locations of soil borings and soil sampling to EPA for review and approval EPA approval shall be required prior to the Respondent implementing soil boring and soil sampling activities

At the Northwest Corner Area the Respondent shall collect samples in a grid The initial round of soil sampling shall include three rows of borings The first row of samples shall start five feet from the outer northern wall of the building The row shall contain five or six sampling locations spaced 30 feet apart the number of sampling locations in each row should be determined based on past data allowing a buffer zone to ensure the lateral edges of the contaminated zone to the east and west are fully defined The row shall begin at approximately the western edge of the building and extend at least 150 feet to the east The row shall be repeated northward every 15 feet subject to obtaining access from abutters (The second row shall be 20 feet from the building wall and the third row shall be 35 feet from the building wall) The borings shall extend to the east and west as necessary to define the lateral extent of exceedances of the CT RSR PMCs and DECs

At the WS-20 Area the Respondent shall advance radial soil borings centered around well WS-20 with radial spokes extending in the four compass directions Samples shall be taken in 10 foot intervals with the first iteration being four borings and the successive iterations being eight borings with iterations spaced 10 feet apart The initial round of soil sampling shall include

Statement of Work for DMC UAO Version FINAL Durham Meadows Superfund Site Date July 26 2007 Durham Connecticut Page 6 of 30

both rings (the inner ring 10 feet removed from WS-20 with four borings and the outer ring 20 feet removed from WS-20 with eight borings)

At each boring location the Respondent shall collect three to four samples The Respondent shall determine sample depths by where higher VOC concentrations may be anticipated at the interface between the fill and the ablation till at the interface between the ablation till and the till at the water table and just above the bedrock surface (EPA Remedial Investigation Figures 34-2 and 34-3 indicate that the fill layer is typically two feet deep the ablation till varies from approximately three to eight feet in depth and till is on the order of 10 foot depth The water table depth is approximately 10 feet and bedrock depth approximately

20 feet) Where the ablation tilltill interface is close to the water table separate samples may not be required and three samples per boring location may be sufficient Observation and field screening of sample cores indicating soil with staining or high levels of VOCs may take precedence in selecting sample collection depth locations as described above

The Respondent may elect to conduct one additional round of Remedial Design sampling to more accurately delineate soil exceeding the CT RSR PMCs and DECs as long as such sampling does not delay the remedial action The Respondent shall propose the additional round of sampling to EPA and CT DEP The Respondent shall not conduct an additional round of sampling without receiving EPA approval

Respondent may also elect to collect concurrent samples during work being performed under this SOW provided such samples are analyzed within the appropriate holding times and otherwise comply with this SOW Any concurrent samples collected during the sampling planned as part of this SOW shall not require EPA approval but Respondent shall provide written notice of such sampling at least three days after such sampling occurs

Any additional or concurrent sampling shall be tighter (ie within an area between a sampling location meeting the CT RSR PMCs and DECs and another sampling location not meeting such soil standards) and no closer than five feet outward from a soil sample location not meeting the CT RSR PMCs or DECs Sampling depths intervals and protocols shall be similar to those required by this SOW The Respondent shall provide the results of all data to EPA and CT DEP

The Respondent shall advance all soil borings using direct-push techniques The Respondent shall visually observe the soil for the presence of DNAPL and perform continuous screening of soil samples and dye testing as necessary as

Statement of Work for DMC UAO Version FINAL Durham Meadows Superfund Site Date July 26 2007 Durham Connecticut Page 7 of 30

described in Section IVB Respondent shall use standard EPA Region I QAQC and data validation procedures as well as CT DEPs Guidance for Collecting and Preserving Soil and Sediment Samples for Laboratory Determination of Volatile Organic Compounds dated February 28 2006 The Respondent shall provide copies of all raw data field notes boring logs detection limits and data validation information to EPA and CT DEP

The Respondent shall analyze each soil sample for VOCs using EPA SW-846 8260

The Respondent shall have the option to perform laboratory analysis of soil samples iteratively so long as all samples are analyzed within the prescribed 14 day holding time and standard EPA Region I QAQC and data validation procedures are met For the WS-20 area the inner ring samples shall be analyzed first results would then determine which samples obtained from the second ring of borings if any need to be analyzed based upon a comparison to the CT RSR PMCs and DECs Similarly for the main manufacturing building area samples obtained from the first row near the building shall be analyzed first Results will dictate which samples from the second row if any should be analyzed based upon a comparison to the CT RSR PMCs and DECs In the same manner results of the second row samples shall determine which samples from the third row of borings if any will need to be analyzed

The Respondent may determine compliance with CT RSR PMCs through SPLP or TCLP analysis

Based on the results of the soil VOC analysis if Respondent so elects the Respondent shall submit a plan for the collection of additional soil samples for laboratory analysis for disposal parameters (TCLP metals pH flashpoint reactive cyanide reactive sulfide [EPA SW-846 methods]) from a subset of the soil borings

III FINDINGS OF FACT EPA has determined that

3 The Durham Meadows Superfund Site is located in the Town of Durham Middlesex County Connecticut and includes an area of groundwater contamination generally centered on Main Street The Site includes historic Main Street in Durham center and contains industrial and residential properties The Site is generally bounded by Talcott Lane to the north Brick Lane Ball Brook and Allyn Brook to the East Allyn Brook to the south and wetlands west of Maple Avenue to the west

4 The Site includes Respondents manufacturing facility located at 201 Main Street

5 Hazardous substances have been released at or from the Site Such substances include without limitation volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as trichloroethene (also known as trichloroethylene or TCE) 111-trichloroethane (also known as 111-TCA or TCA) xylene benzene methylene chloride toluene and tetrachloroethene (PCE) VOCs have been detected in soil and groundwater at the DMC property and at other locations within the Site and in residential drinking water wells within the Site

6 Pursuant to Section 105 of CERCLA 42 USC sect 9605 EPA placed the Durham Meadows Superfund Site on the National Priorities List (NPL) set forth at 40 CFR Part 300 Appendix B by publication in the Federal Register on October 4 1989

7 As a result of the release or threatened release of hazardous substances EPA has undertaken response actions at or in connection with the Site under Section 104 of CERCLA 42 USC sect 9604 and will undertake response actions in the future The State has also taken actions at or in connection with the Site to respond to hazardous waste or hazardous materials

8 EPA performed a remedial investigation pursuant to CERCLA and the NCP The remedial investigation report (RI Report) dated June 2005 summarized Site conditions and related potential human health and ecological risks

9 EPA performed a baseline human health risk assessment pursuant to CERCLA and the

NCP The baseline risk assessment report dated June 2005 summarized potential human health risks associated with Site-related contamination

10 EPA pursuant to CERCLA and the National Contingency Plan 40 CFR Part 300 performed a feasibility study of potential cleanup options and a feasibility study report (FS Report) was issued in June 2005 The FS Report presented the remedial alternatives evaluated to address Site conditions and potential risks

11 Based on the information and conclusions contained in the RI and FS Reports EPA also prepared a Technical Impracticability Evaluation Report (TI Evaluation) issued June 2005 pursuant to EPAs Technical Impracticability Guidance and the National Contingency Plan 40 CFR Part 300 The purpose of the TI Evaluation was to evaluate the practicability of returning groundwater to its beneficial use

12 Based on the information and conclusions contained in the baseline human health risk assessment RI and FS Reports as well as the TI Evaluation EPA issued a proposed plan (the Proposed Plan) on July 9 2005 The Proposed Plan presented EPAs recommended cleanup approach for the Site and summarized the options and information considered for the publics review and comment A notice and comment period published in the Federal Register followed the release of the Proposed Plan and concluded on August 12 2005 After the notice and comment period concluded EPA considered all comments received before finalizing selection of the remedial action plan The remedial action plan was finalized in a detailed Record of Decision (ROD) for the Site which was issued on September 30 2005 The ROD documents the selected cleanup remedy for the Site Appendix D of the ROD summarizes EPAs response to comments received during the notice and comment period for the Proposed Plan The RI Report FS Report the baseline risk assessment report the TI Evaluation and the ROD are part of the administrative record for this Order The ROD is incorporated into this Order and these Findings of Fact by reference

A Sources of Contamination and Primary Contaminants

13 At the DMC Study Area Respondent has manufactured and currently manufactures metal boxes and displays among other items Respondent has used various solvents during its operations including without limitation TCE (from the 1940s through the present) 111-TCA (from 1973-1976) and methylene chloride (used from 1976 through the present) In 1982 solvent usage was approximately 1000 gallons per month and the wastewater stream was approximately 4000 gallons per month

14 In 1951 Respondent installed a 750-gallon settling tank to receive wastewater and paint sludge from wet paint spray booths and a caustic stripper tank Approximately 500 gallons per year of sludge were pumped from the tank Supernatant in the tank was discharged into a ditch located in the DMC Study Area Approximately 1200 gallons of water per week moved through the settling tank to the ditch as a result of cleaning operations of the wet paint spray booths

15 An aeration pond was constructed in 1960 to receive non-contact cooling water from the degreasing and spot-welding operations and storm water from drains located around the parking lot and roof

16 In 1974 Respondent replaced the 750-gallon tank with a 5000-gallon tank which continued to receive wastewater and sludge from the wet paint spray booths and caustic stripper Water was eventually drained into a leaching field located in the DMC Study Area

17 From approximately 1974 through 1978 Respondent used unlined sludge drying beds in its wastewater treatment operations Accumulated paint sludge from the settling tank was directed into one of two drying beds approximately twice a year The sludge was dug out of the drying beds by hand approximately once a year drummed and taken to the DurhamMiddlefield landfill for disposal

18 Based on analytical data from extraction well EX-6 on the DMC Study Area a methylene chloride spill occurred in the area sometime in the mid-1990s

19 The primary contaminants in soil at the DMC Study Area include chlorinated VOCs such as TCE PCE and methylene chloride and non-chlorinated VOCs such as ethylbenzene toluene total xylenes and MTBE Primary contaminants in overburden (shallow) groundwater at the DMC Study Area include chlorinated VOCs such as TCE PCE and methylene chloride and non-chlorinated VOCs such as benzene ethylbenzene toluene and total xylenes Chlorinated VOCs detected in deeper bedrock groundwater wells at the DMC Study Area include TCE PCE 111-TCA 11-DCA 11-dichloroethene (11-DCE) 12-dichloroethene (12-DCE) cisshy12-dichloroethene (cis- 12-DCE) methylene chloride and vinyl chloride

20 A primary source of groundwater contamination in the Site-wide Groundwater Study Area includes spills past waste disposal practices andor other Site activities at the DMC Study Area The overburden soils impacted by this Study Area are another likely source of groundwater contamination in the bedrock aquifer

21 The primary contaminants in the Site-wide Groundwater Study Area are VOCs primarily chlorinated solvents (PCE TCE and 111-TCA) VOCs detected included solvents used in the industrial processes at the DMC Study Area Daughter compounds that likely result from the degradation of the primary chlorinated solvents were also detected in bedrock groundwater including cis-12-DCE trans-12-dichloroethene 11-DCE 11-DCA and vinyl chloride

B Exposure Pathways and Risks

22 Exposure to the contaminants described above in Paragraph 19 at the DMC Study Area presents a significant risk to human health if left untreated As described in the Section G of the ROD EPAs generally acceptable risk range for site-related exposure is 10-4 to 10-6 (1E-04 to

1E-06 or 1 in 10000 to 1 in a million) In assessing the potential for non-cancer adverse effects a hazard quotient (HQ) is calculated An HQ less than or equal to 1 (1E+00) indicates that toxic noncarcinogenic effects from a given chemical are unlikely

23 The unacceptable levels of cancer risk and non-cancer hazard caused by the actual or threatened release from the Site of the hazardous substances identified in Paragraphs 19 and 21 result in the following increased risks

a The excess lifetime cancer risk estimate for the current and future commercial worker for exposure to contaminants contained in untreated groundwater (by ingestion and dermal contact) from the DMC Study Area supply well (DMC 1) is 2E-04 and the estimated non-cancer risk is a hazard index of 5

b The excess lifetime cancer risk estimate for the future resident that may come to be located at the DMC Study Area and potentially exposed to contaminants contained in indoor air (by inhalation) following untreated vapor migration from overburden groundwater is 8E-03 and the estimated non-cancer risk is a hazard index of 4

c The estimated non-cancer risk for the future construction worker for exposure to contaminants contained in untreated shallow groundwater (by dermal contact) at the DMC Study Area is a hazard index of 30 and

d The excess lifetime cancer risk estimates for current and future residential exposure to contaminants contained in untreated groundwater (by ingestion dermal contact and inhalation) in the Site-wide Groundwater Study Area as household water range from 2E-04 to 3E-02 and the estimated non-cancer risks range from 2 to 900

24 Shallow and deeper groundwater at the DMC Study Area exhibits elevated concentrations of the contaminants described above in Paragraph 19 The levels of untreated groundwater contaminants exceed federal and state drinking water levels The levels of untreated groundwater contaminants also exceed state and federal levels related to the volatilization of contaminants into indoor air Soil at the DMC Study area exceeds direct contact and pollutant mobility criteria established by the States Remediation Standard Regulations The presence of these elevated levels of contaminants if not addressed poses an unacceptable level of risk to human health

25 A zone of groundwater contamination extends off of the DMC Study Area primarily to the south and southwest VOC concentrations in untreated groundwater exceeding federal and state drinking water levels extend off of the DMC Study Area and have impacted residential drinking wells in this area The presence of VOCs poses an unacceptable level of risk to human health namely through residential household water exposure to untreated groundwater

26 A range of health effects is associated with exposure to the primary contaminants

detected at the DMC Study Area and in the Site-wide Groundwater Study Area Benzene and vinyl chloride are known human carcinogens methylene chloride 11 -DCE PCE and TCE are probable or possible human carcinogens The effects of exposure to other contaminants (ethylbenzene 111-TCA and toluene) include eye nose and throat irritation nausea loss of coordination liver and kidney damage central nervous system damage and teratogenic effects

C Selected Remedy

27 The ROD sets forth the selected remedy for the Site which is detailed and described therein

28 This Order requires soil and groundwater sampling to support the remedial design of the excavation and off-site disposal of hot spot areas of soil contamination which is a portion of the remedy for the DMC Study Area Such remedial action will significantly reduce the risk posed to construction workers through direct contact of contaminants in groundwater immediately upon completion of the excavation and will reduce the concentrations of contaminants in groundwater by removing ongoing sources of contamination

29 This Order also requires that a sub-slab depressurization system be installed under the main manufacturing building at the DMC Study Area to mitigate the potential threat of the intrusion of contaminated vapors into the building

III SELECTED REMEDY

The ROD describes the remedy for the Site For the DMC Study Area specifically the ROD provides for soil excavation and off-site disposal of hot spot areas in order to address risks to human health from contamination in overburden (shallow) groundwater and to address source contamination Institutional controls primarily in the form of Environmental Land Use Restrictions (ELURs) as defined in the CT Remediation Standard Regulations (RSRs) andor by local ordinance will also be required to prevent unrestricted future use or use of contaminated groundwater EPA has selected other remedies for other portions of the Site

Components of the remedy to be performed by the Respondent pursuant to the Order and this SOW include Remedial Design Sampling of soil and groundwater at the DMC Study Area to more fully define the lateral and vertical extent of soil contamination and the installation of a sub-slab system to depressurize the area under the entire foundation of the main manufacturing building at the DMC Study Area

Sections IV and V discuss the Performance Standards and Sampling Plan for Remedial Design Sampling activities at the DMC Study Area Sections VI and VII discuss the Performance Standards and Plans to address activities related to the installation of a sub-

IV PERFORMANCE STANDARDS for REMEDIAL DESIGN SAMPLING

This section defines the Performance Standards for Remedial Design Sampling at the DMC Study Area

The Respondent shall conduct Remedial Design Sampling in order to provide all information required to design construct operate monitor and maintain the remedy at the DMC Study Area in compliance with Section L of the ROD all applicable or relevant and appropriate (ARAR) standards cited in the ROD and all Performance Standards for the components of the DMC Study Area remedy Remedial Design Sampling activities include sampling of groundwater and soil analysis and validation of data and tabulation and evaluation of data The Respondent shall comply with all requirements of the Order and this SOW

The DMC Study Area remedy addresses contamination in overburden (shallow) groundwater at the DMC Study Area through soil excavation as described in the ROD The focus of this remedy is removing the Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and possible Dense Non-Aqueous Phase Liquid (DNAPL) contamination in the overburden soils that are likely acting as continual sources of groundwater contamination These sources are located at the degreasing and former solvent storage area at the Northwest Corner Area the WS-20 Area and potentially in the Eastern Area

The Respondent shall conduct groundwater and soil sampling to determine the extent of groundwater hot spots and the extent of soil contamination acting as a source to ongoing groundwater contamination Groundwater hot spots are considered those areas demonstrating high concentrations of VOCs and the likely presence of DNAPL Initial investigations shall focus around the Northwest Corner Area the WS-20 Area and the Eastern Area

The Respondent shall collect data that supports remedial activities and allows for the design of a soil excavation remedy that (i) removes source areas to the maximum extent practicable (with the goal of meeting Interim Cleanup Levels for groundwater in the DMC Study Area as outlined in Table 42 of the ROD) and (ii) removes any soils exceeding CT RSR PMCs and DECs The Respondent shall conduct groundwater and soil sampling work reasonably concurrently The Respondent shall perform groundwater sampling to determine the extent of groundwater hot spots and provide information required to develop a post-remedial long-term groundwater monitoring plan The Respondent shall perform soil sampling to fully define the vertical and lateral extent of

Statement of Work for DMC UAO Version FINAL Durham Meadows Superfund Site Date July 26 2007 Durham Connecticut Page 3 of 30

soil with VOCs in excess of the CT RSR PMCs and DECs as well as to determine the extent of soil which if removed would be considered RCRA listed waste whether any soil contains RCRA characteristic waste based on TCLP analysis and potentially applicable disposal requirements and limitations such as RCRA land disposal restrictions

A General Requirements

Prior to implementation of any on-site field work the Respondent shall submit to EPA for its approval a field schedule that allows for EPA andor CT DEP oversight and split sampling

The Respondent shall conduct a survey of all sampling locations

The Respondent shall determine whether acquisition of access to neighboring properties is needed and take steps to acquire such access as necessary Initially access to the property located north of DMCs main manufacturing building will be required the Respondent shall make best efforts to obtain access and notify EPA immediately if access is denied

The Respondent shall determine the placement of utilities in areas to be sampled or where monitoring wells will be installed and take the appropriate steps to ensure the safety of the field team and on-site DMC workers The Respondent shall ensure that utilities are not disrupted during field sampling by creating andor updating a utility map prior to the start of any field work

To the extent that the Respondent generates investigation-derived waste the Respondent shall characterize and dispose of such waste in accordance with local State and Federal regulations Prior to any off-site transport of waste facilities selected for off-site disposal must be deemed acceptable by EPA as required pursuant to 40 CFR 300440

The Respondent shall provide copies of all raw data field notes boring logs detection limits data validation information or any other data collected to EPA and CT DEP

B Groundwater Sampling

The Respondent shall inspect all existing overburden groundwater monitoring wells within the DMC Study Area in order to determine whether they are in a condition adequate to perform low-flow groundwater sampling The Respondent

Statement of Work for DMC UAO Version FINAL Durham Meadows Superfund Site Date July 26 2007 Durham Connecticut Page 4 of 30

shall replace any unusable existing groundwater monitoring well with a new well located reasonably close to such unusable existing well The Respondent shall submit their evaluation of the viability of existing wells construction details of any unusable existing wells and the approximate location and construction details of any replacement wells to EPA for review and approval EPA approval shall be required prior to the Respondent sampling any existing or replacement groundwater monitoring wells or installing any replacement wells

In addition to replacing any unusable existing wells five groundwater wells shall be required to investigate the Eastern Area EPA in conjunction with CT DEP shall determine the exact location of the required groundwater wells in the Eastern Area

The Respondent shall conduct all new or replacement well installation in a manner that ensures continuous soil samples can be collected for screening during drilling (such as with direct push technology or a hollow stem auger) and where appropriate sampled During well installation soil shall be visually examined for evidence of DNAPL If DNAPL is visible in soil the Respondent shall conduct dye testing on the affected soil (using Sudan IV or similar dye) The Respondent shall also perform continuous screening of soil samples using a photoionization detector (PID) During screening the soil will be split open and the PID probe placed in the opening and covered with a gloved hand Any specific soil interval that indicates a PIC reading gt100 parts per million total detectible organic vapors will undergo further dye testing (using Sudan IV or similar dye)

Upon EPA approval the Respondent shall conduct groundwater sampling of the usable existing wells the replacement wells and the five new wells in the Eastern Area in a single sampling event

Groundwater sampling shall be conducted using low flow sampling techniques as described in EPA Region I Low Stress (low flow) Purging and Sampling Procedure for the Collection of Ground Water Samples from Monitoring Wells dated July 30 1996 Groundwater samples shall be analyzed for VOCs by EPA method 5242 or SW-846 method 8620 All groundwater sampling results shall be validated pursuant to Attachment A

During groundwater sampling the Respondent shall visually observe for the presence of DNAPL Dye testing (using Sudan IV or similar dye) or screening of the wells with an interface probe shall be performed where DNAPL is visually observed in groundwater (The absence of DNAPL observations or negative test results however does not rule out the presence of DNAPL)

Statement of Work for DMC UAO Version FINAL Durham Meadows Superfund Site Date July 26 2007

Additional investigation including additional soil sampling in the Eastern Area may be required after reviewing data from groundwater well sampling

C Soil Sampling

Substantially concurrent with groundwater sampling Respondent shall conduct soil borings and soil sampling on a grid pattern at the Northwest Corner Area and the WS-20 Area to define the extent of soil contamination exceeding the CT RSR PMCs and DECs As stated above additional soil sampling in the Eastern Area may be required after reviewing data from groundwater well sampling

The Respondent shall collect soil samples in a grid pattern Soil samples shall continue outwards as defined below in all directions (both laterally and vertically) until samples do not exceed CT RSR PMCs and DECs or until a building foundation is encountered If samples from the final row of the grid areas defined below exceed either CT RSR PMCs or DECs additional soil sampling shall be required unless a building foundation is encountered The Respondent shall submit the proposed grid and locations of soil borings and soil sampling to EPA for review and approval EPA approval shall be required prior to the Respondent implementing soil boring and soil sampling activities

At the Northwest Corner Area the Respondent shall collect samples in a grid The initial round of soil sampling shall include three rows of borings The first row of samples shall start five feet from the outer northern wall of the building The row shall contain five or six sampling locations spaced 30 feet apart the number of sampling locations in each row should be determined based on past data allowing a buffer zone to ensure the lateral edges of the contaminated zone to the east and west are fully defined The row shall begin at approximately the western edge of the building and extend at least 150 feet to the east The row shall be repeated northward every 15 feet subject to obtaining access from abutters (The second row shall be 20 feet from the building wall and the third row shall be 35 feet from the building wall) The borings shall extend to the east and west as necessary to define the lateral extent of exceedances of the CT RSR PMCs and DECs

At the WS-20 Area the Respondent shall advance radial soil borings centered around well WS-20 with radial spokes extending in the four compass directions Samples shall be taken in 10 foot intervals with the first iteration being four borings and the successive iterations being eight borings with iterations spaced 10 feet apart The initial round of soil sampling shall include

Statement of Work for DMC UAO Version FINAL Durham Meadows Superfund Site Date July 26 2007 Durham Connecticut Page 6 of 30

both rings (the inner ring 10 feet removed from WS-20 with four borings and the outer ring 20 feet removed from WS-20 with eight borings)

At each boring location the Respondent shall collect three to four samples The Respondent shall determine sample depths by where higher VOC concentrations may be anticipated at the interface between the fill and the ablation till at the interface between the ablation till and the till at the water table and just above the bedrock surface (EPA Remedial Investigation Figures 34-2 and 34-3 indicate that the fill layer is typically two feet deep the ablation till varies from approximately three to eight feet in depth and till is on the order of 10 foot depth The water table depth is approximately 10 feet and bedrock depth approximately

20 feet) Where the ablation tilltill interface is close to the water table separate samples may not be required and three samples per boring location may be sufficient Observation and field screening of sample cores indicating soil with staining or high levels of VOCs may take precedence in selecting sample collection depth locations as described above

The Respondent may elect to conduct one additional round of Remedial Design sampling to more accurately delineate soil exceeding the CT RSR PMCs and DECs as long as such sampling does not delay the remedial action The Respondent shall propose the additional round of sampling to EPA and CT DEP The Respondent shall not conduct an additional round of sampling without receiving EPA approval

Respondent may also elect to collect concurrent samples during work being performed under this SOW provided such samples are analyzed within the appropriate holding times and otherwise comply with this SOW Any concurrent samples collected during the sampling planned as part of this SOW shall not require EPA approval but Respondent shall provide written notice of such sampling at least three days after such sampling occurs

Any additional or concurrent sampling shall be tighter (ie within an area between a sampling location meeting the CT RSR PMCs and DECs and another sampling location not meeting such soil standards) and no closer than five feet outward from a soil sample location not meeting the CT RSR PMCs or DECs Sampling depths intervals and protocols shall be similar to those required by this SOW The Respondent shall provide the results of all data to EPA and CT DEP

The Respondent shall advance all soil borings using direct-push techniques The Respondent shall visually observe the soil for the presence of DNAPL and perform continuous screening of soil samples and dye testing as necessary as

Statement of Work for DMC UAO Version FINAL Durham Meadows Superfund Site Date July 26 2007 Durham Connecticut Page 7 of 30

described in Section IVB Respondent shall use standard EPA Region I QAQC and data validation procedures as well as CT DEPs Guidance for Collecting and Preserving Soil and Sediment Samples for Laboratory Determination of Volatile Organic Compounds dated February 28 2006 The Respondent shall provide copies of all raw data field notes boring logs detection limits and data validation information to EPA and CT DEP

The Respondent shall analyze each soil sample for VOCs using EPA SW-846 8260

The Respondent shall have the option to perform laboratory analysis of soil samples iteratively so long as all samples are analyzed within the prescribed 14 day holding time and standard EPA Region I QAQC and data validation procedures are met For the WS-20 area the inner ring samples shall be analyzed first results would then determine which samples obtained from the second ring of borings if any need to be analyzed based upon a comparison to the CT RSR PMCs and DECs Similarly for the main manufacturing building area samples obtained from the first row near the building shall be analyzed first Results will dictate which samples from the second row if any should be analyzed based upon a comparison to the CT RSR PMCs and DECs In the same manner results of the second row samples shall determine which samples from the third row of borings if any will need to be analyzed

The Respondent may determine compliance with CT RSR PMCs through SPLP or TCLP analysis

Based on the results of the soil VOC analysis if Respondent so elects the Respondent shall submit a plan for the collection of additional soil samples for laboratory analysis for disposal parameters (TCLP metals pH flashpoint reactive cyanide reactive sulfide [EPA SW-846 methods]) from a subset of the soil borings

A Sources of Contamination and Primary Contaminants

13 At the DMC Study Area Respondent has manufactured and currently manufactures metal boxes and displays among other items Respondent has used various solvents during its operations including without limitation TCE (from the 1940s through the present) 111-TCA (from 1973-1976) and methylene chloride (used from 1976 through the present) In 1982 solvent usage was approximately 1000 gallons per month and the wastewater stream was approximately 4000 gallons per month

14 In 1951 Respondent installed a 750-gallon settling tank to receive wastewater and paint sludge from wet paint spray booths and a caustic stripper tank Approximately 500 gallons per year of sludge were pumped from the tank Supernatant in the tank was discharged into a ditch located in the DMC Study Area Approximately 1200 gallons of water per week moved through the settling tank to the ditch as a result of cleaning operations of the wet paint spray booths

15 An aeration pond was constructed in 1960 to receive non-contact cooling water from the degreasing and spot-welding operations and storm water from drains located around the parking lot and roof

16 In 1974 Respondent replaced the 750-gallon tank with a 5000-gallon tank which continued to receive wastewater and sludge from the wet paint spray booths and caustic stripper Water was eventually drained into a leaching field located in the DMC Study Area

17 From approximately 1974 through 1978 Respondent used unlined sludge drying beds in its wastewater treatment operations Accumulated paint sludge from the settling tank was directed into one of two drying beds approximately twice a year The sludge was dug out of the drying beds by hand approximately once a year drummed and taken to the DurhamMiddlefield landfill for disposal

18 Based on analytical data from extraction well EX-6 on the DMC Study Area a methylene chloride spill occurred in the area sometime in the mid-1990s

19 The primary contaminants in soil at the DMC Study Area include chlorinated VOCs such as TCE PCE and methylene chloride and non-chlorinated VOCs such as ethylbenzene toluene total xylenes and MTBE Primary contaminants in overburden (shallow) groundwater at the DMC Study Area include chlorinated VOCs such as TCE PCE and methylene chloride and non-chlorinated VOCs such as benzene ethylbenzene toluene and total xylenes Chlorinated VOCs detected in deeper bedrock groundwater wells at the DMC Study Area include TCE PCE 111-TCA 11-DCA 11-dichloroethene (11-DCE) 12-dichloroethene (12-DCE) cisshy12-dichloroethene (cis- 12-DCE) methylene chloride and vinyl chloride

20 A primary source of groundwater contamination in the Site-wide Groundwater Study Area includes spills past waste disposal practices andor other Site activities at the DMC Study Area The overburden soils impacted by this Study Area are another likely source of groundwater contamination in the bedrock aquifer

21 The primary contaminants in the Site-wide Groundwater Study Area are VOCs primarily chlorinated solvents (PCE TCE and 111-TCA) VOCs detected included solvents used in the industrial processes at the DMC Study Area Daughter compounds that likely result from the degradation of the primary chlorinated solvents were also detected in bedrock groundwater including cis-12-DCE trans-12-dichloroethene 11-DCE 11-DCA and vinyl chloride

B Exposure Pathways and Risks

22 Exposure to the contaminants described above in Paragraph 19 at the DMC Study Area presents a significant risk to human health if left untreated As described in the Section G of the ROD EPAs generally acceptable risk range for site-related exposure is 10-4 to 10-6 (1E-04 to

1E-06 or 1 in 10000 to 1 in a million) In assessing the potential for non-cancer adverse effects a hazard quotient (HQ) is calculated An HQ less than or equal to 1 (1E+00) indicates that toxic noncarcinogenic effects from a given chemical are unlikely

23 The unacceptable levels of cancer risk and non-cancer hazard caused by the actual or threatened release from the Site of the hazardous substances identified in Paragraphs 19 and 21 result in the following increased risks

a The excess lifetime cancer risk estimate for the current and future commercial worker for exposure to contaminants contained in untreated groundwater (by ingestion and dermal contact) from the DMC Study Area supply well (DMC 1) is 2E-04 and the estimated non-cancer risk is a hazard index of 5

b The excess lifetime cancer risk estimate for the future resident that may come to be located at the DMC Study Area and potentially exposed to contaminants contained in indoor air (by inhalation) following untreated vapor migration from overburden groundwater is 8E-03 and the estimated non-cancer risk is a hazard index of 4

c The estimated non-cancer risk for the future construction worker for exposure to contaminants contained in untreated shallow groundwater (by dermal contact) at the DMC Study Area is a hazard index of 30 and

d The excess lifetime cancer risk estimates for current and future residential exposure to contaminants contained in untreated groundwater (by ingestion dermal contact and inhalation) in the Site-wide Groundwater Study Area as household water range from 2E-04 to 3E-02 and the estimated non-cancer risks range from 2 to 900

24 Shallow and deeper groundwater at the DMC Study Area exhibits elevated concentrations of the contaminants described above in Paragraph 19 The levels of untreated groundwater contaminants exceed federal and state drinking water levels The levels of untreated groundwater contaminants also exceed state and federal levels related to the volatilization of contaminants into indoor air Soil at the DMC Study area exceeds direct contact and pollutant mobility criteria established by the States Remediation Standard Regulations The presence of these elevated levels of contaminants if not addressed poses an unacceptable level of risk to human health

25 A zone of groundwater contamination extends off of the DMC Study Area primarily to the south and southwest VOC concentrations in untreated groundwater exceeding federal and state drinking water levels extend off of the DMC Study Area and have impacted residential drinking wells in this area The presence of VOCs poses an unacceptable level of risk to human health namely through residential household water exposure to untreated groundwater

26 A range of health effects is associated with exposure to the primary contaminants

detected at the DMC Study Area and in the Site-wide Groundwater Study Area Benzene and vinyl chloride are known human carcinogens methylene chloride 11 -DCE PCE and TCE are probable or possible human carcinogens The effects of exposure to other contaminants (ethylbenzene 111-TCA and toluene) include eye nose and throat irritation nausea loss of coordination liver and kidney damage central nervous system damage and teratogenic effects

C Selected Remedy

27 The ROD sets forth the selected remedy for the Site which is detailed and described therein

28 This Order requires soil and groundwater sampling to support the remedial design of the excavation and off-site disposal of hot spot areas of soil contamination which is a portion of the remedy for the DMC Study Area Such remedial action will significantly reduce the risk posed to construction workers through direct contact of contaminants in groundwater immediately upon completion of the excavation and will reduce the concentrations of contaminants in groundwater by removing ongoing sources of contamination

29 This Order also requires that a sub-slab depressurization system be installed under the main manufacturing building at the DMC Study Area to mitigate the potential threat of the intrusion of contaminated vapors into the building

D Identification of Respondent

30 Respondent is a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Connecticut with its principal place of business in Durham Connecticut

31 Respondent is the owner of the property at 201 Main Street Durham Connecticut and has been the owner of such property since 1922

32 Respondent has operated a manufacturing facility on the DMC Study Area since 1922

33 By letter dated November 30 1993 EPA notified Respondent of its potential liability with respect to the Site

34 By letter dated April 7 2006 EPA notified Respondent of a sixty-day period to participate in formal negotiations to reach a settlement to conduct or finance response actions at the Site and to reimburse EPA for its response costs

35 In performing response actions at the Site EPA has incurred and will continue to incur response costs at or in connection with the Site

IV PERFORMANCE STANDARDS for REMEDIAL DESIGN SAMPLING

This section defines the Performance Standards for Remedial Design Sampling at the DMC Study Area

The Respondent shall conduct Remedial Design Sampling in order to provide all information required to design construct operate monitor and maintain the remedy at the DMC Study Area in compliance with Section L of the ROD all applicable or relevant and appropriate (ARAR) standards cited in the ROD and all Performance Standards for the components of the DMC Study Area remedy Remedial Design Sampling activities include sampling of groundwater and soil analysis and validation of data and tabulation and evaluation of data The Respondent shall comply with all requirements of the Order and this SOW

The DMC Study Area remedy addresses contamination in overburden (shallow) groundwater at the DMC Study Area through soil excavation as described in the ROD The focus of this remedy is removing the Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and possible Dense Non-Aqueous Phase Liquid (DNAPL) contamination in the overburden soils that are likely acting as continual sources of groundwater contamination These sources are located at the degreasing and former solvent storage area at the Northwest Corner Area the WS-20 Area and potentially in the Eastern Area

The Respondent shall conduct groundwater and soil sampling to determine the extent of groundwater hot spots and the extent of soil contamination acting as a source to ongoing groundwater contamination Groundwater hot spots are considered those areas demonstrating high concentrations of VOCs and the likely presence of DNAPL Initial investigations shall focus around the Northwest Corner Area the WS-20 Area and the Eastern Area

The Respondent shall collect data that supports remedial activities and allows for the design of a soil excavation remedy that (i) removes source areas to the maximum extent practicable (with the goal of meeting Interim Cleanup Levels for groundwater in the DMC Study Area as outlined in Table 42 of the ROD) and (ii) removes any soils exceeding CT RSR PMCs and DECs The Respondent shall conduct groundwater and soil sampling work reasonably concurrently The Respondent shall perform groundwater sampling to determine the extent of groundwater hot spots and provide information required to develop a post-remedial long-term groundwater monitoring plan The Respondent shall perform soil sampling to fully define the vertical and lateral extent of

Statement of Work for DMC UAO Version FINAL Durham Meadows Superfund Site Date July 26 2007 Durham Connecticut Page 3 of 30

soil with VOCs in excess of the CT RSR PMCs and DECs as well as to determine the extent of soil which if removed would be considered RCRA listed waste whether any soil contains RCRA characteristic waste based on TCLP analysis and potentially applicable disposal requirements and limitations such as RCRA land disposal restrictions

A General Requirements

Prior to implementation of any on-site field work the Respondent shall submit to EPA for its approval a field schedule that allows for EPA andor CT DEP oversight and split sampling

The Respondent shall conduct a survey of all sampling locations

The Respondent shall determine whether acquisition of access to neighboring properties is needed and take steps to acquire such access as necessary Initially access to the property located north of DMCs main manufacturing building will be required the Respondent shall make best efforts to obtain access and notify EPA immediately if access is denied

The Respondent shall determine the placement of utilities in areas to be sampled or where monitoring wells will be installed and take the appropriate steps to ensure the safety of the field team and on-site DMC workers The Respondent shall ensure that utilities are not disrupted during field sampling by creating andor updating a utility map prior to the start of any field work

To the extent that the Respondent generates investigation-derived waste the Respondent shall characterize and dispose of such waste in accordance with local State and Federal regulations Prior to any off-site transport of waste facilities selected for off-site disposal must be deemed acceptable by EPA as required pursuant to 40 CFR 300440

The Respondent shall provide copies of all raw data field notes boring logs detection limits data validation information or any other data collected to EPA and CT DEP

B Groundwater Sampling

The Respondent shall inspect all existing overburden groundwater monitoring wells within the DMC Study Area in order to determine whether they are in a condition adequate to perform low-flow groundwater sampling The Respondent

Statement of Work for DMC UAO Version FINAL Durham Meadows Superfund Site Date July 26 2007 Durham Connecticut Page 4 of 30

shall replace any unusable existing groundwater monitoring well with a new well located reasonably close to such unusable existing well The Respondent shall submit their evaluation of the viability of existing wells construction details of any unusable existing wells and the approximate location and construction details of any replacement wells to EPA for review and approval EPA approval shall be required prior to the Respondent sampling any existing or replacement groundwater monitoring wells or installing any replacement wells

In addition to replacing any unusable existing wells five groundwater wells shall be required to investigate the Eastern Area EPA in conjunction with CT DEP shall determine the exact location of the required groundwater wells in the Eastern Area

The Respondent shall conduct all new or replacement well installation in a manner that ensures continuous soil samples can be collected for screening during drilling (such as with direct push technology or a hollow stem auger) and where appropriate sampled During well installation soil shall be visually examined for evidence of DNAPL If DNAPL is visible in soil the Respondent shall conduct dye testing on the affected soil (using Sudan IV or similar dye) The Respondent shall also perform continuous screening of soil samples using a photoionization detector (PID) During screening the soil will be split open and the PID probe placed in the opening and covered with a gloved hand Any specific soil interval that indicates a PIC reading gt100 parts per million total detectible organic vapors will undergo further dye testing (using Sudan IV or similar dye)

Upon EPA approval the Respondent shall conduct groundwater sampling of the usable existing wells the replacement wells and the five new wells in the Eastern Area in a single sampling event

Groundwater sampling shall be conducted using low flow sampling techniques as described in EPA Region I Low Stress (low flow) Purging and Sampling Procedure for the Collection of Ground Water Samples from Monitoring Wells dated July 30 1996 Groundwater samples shall be analyzed for VOCs by EPA method 5242 or SW-846 method 8620 All groundwater sampling results shall be validated pursuant to Attachment A

During groundwater sampling the Respondent shall visually observe for the presence of DNAPL Dye testing (using Sudan IV or similar dye) or screening of the wells with an interface probe shall be performed where DNAPL is visually observed in groundwater (The absence of DNAPL observations or negative test results however does not rule out the presence of DNAPL)

Statement of Work for DMC UAO Version FINAL Durham Meadows Superfund Site Date July 26 2007

Additional investigation including additional soil sampling in the Eastern Area may be required after reviewing data from groundwater well sampling

C Soil Sampling

Substantially concurrent with groundwater sampling Respondent shall conduct soil borings and soil sampling on a grid pattern at the Northwest Corner Area and the WS-20 Area to define the extent of soil contamination exceeding the CT RSR PMCs and DECs As stated above additional soil sampling in the Eastern Area may be required after reviewing data from groundwater well sampling

The Respondent shall collect soil samples in a grid pattern Soil samples shall continue outwards as defined below in all directions (both laterally and vertically) until samples do not exceed CT RSR PMCs and DECs or until a building foundation is encountered If samples from the final row of the grid areas defined below exceed either CT RSR PMCs or DECs additional soil sampling shall be required unless a building foundation is encountered The Respondent shall submit the proposed grid and locations of soil borings and soil sampling to EPA for review and approval EPA approval shall be required prior to the Respondent implementing soil boring and soil sampling activities

At the Northwest Corner Area the Respondent shall collect samples in a grid The initial round of soil sampling shall include three rows of borings The first row of samples shall start five feet from the outer northern wall of the building The row shall contain five or six sampling locations spaced 30 feet apart the number of sampling locations in each row should be determined based on past data allowing a buffer zone to ensure the lateral edges of the contaminated zone to the east and west are fully defined The row shall begin at approximately the western edge of the building and extend at least 150 feet to the east The row shall be repeated northward every 15 feet subject to obtaining access from abutters (The second row shall be 20 feet from the building wall and the third row shall be 35 feet from the building wall) The borings shall extend to the east and west as necessary to define the lateral extent of exceedances of the CT RSR PMCs and DECs

At the WS-20 Area the Respondent shall advance radial soil borings centered around well WS-20 with radial spokes extending in the four compass directions Samples shall be taken in 10 foot intervals with the first iteration being four borings and the successive iterations being eight borings with iterations spaced 10 feet apart The initial round of soil sampling shall include

Statement of Work for DMC UAO Version FINAL Durham Meadows Superfund Site Date July 26 2007 Durham Connecticut Page 6 of 30

both rings (the inner ring 10 feet removed from WS-20 with four borings and the outer ring 20 feet removed from WS-20 with eight borings)

At each boring location the Respondent shall collect three to four samples The Respondent shall determine sample depths by where higher VOC concentrations may be anticipated at the interface between the fill and the ablation till at the interface between the ablation till and the till at the water table and just above the bedrock surface (EPA Remedial Investigation Figures 34-2 and 34-3 indicate that the fill layer is typically two feet deep the ablation till varies from approximately three to eight feet in depth and till is on the order of 10 foot depth The water table depth is approximately 10 feet and bedrock depth approximately

20 feet) Where the ablation tilltill interface is close to the water table separate samples may not be required and three samples per boring location may be sufficient Observation and field screening of sample cores indicating soil with staining or high levels of VOCs may take precedence in selecting sample collection depth locations as described above

The Respondent may elect to conduct one additional round of Remedial Design sampling to more accurately delineate soil exceeding the CT RSR PMCs and DECs as long as such sampling does not delay the remedial action The Respondent shall propose the additional round of sampling to EPA and CT DEP The Respondent shall not conduct an additional round of sampling without receiving EPA approval

Respondent may also elect to collect concurrent samples during work being performed under this SOW provided such samples are analyzed within the appropriate holding times and otherwise comply with this SOW Any concurrent samples collected during the sampling planned as part of this SOW shall not require EPA approval but Respondent shall provide written notice of such sampling at least three days after such sampling occurs

Any additional or concurrent sampling shall be tighter (ie within an area between a sampling location meeting the CT RSR PMCs and DECs and another sampling location not meeting such soil standards) and no closer than five feet outward from a soil sample location not meeting the CT RSR PMCs or DECs Sampling depths intervals and protocols shall be similar to those required by this SOW The Respondent shall provide the results of all data to EPA and CT DEP

The Respondent shall advance all soil borings using direct-push techniques The Respondent shall visually observe the soil for the presence of DNAPL and perform continuous screening of soil samples and dye testing as necessary as

Statement of Work for DMC UAO Version FINAL Durham Meadows Superfund Site Date July 26 2007 Durham Connecticut Page 7 of 30

described in Section IVB Respondent shall use standard EPA Region I QAQC and data validation procedures as well as CT DEPs Guidance for Collecting and Preserving Soil and Sediment Samples for Laboratory Determination of Volatile Organic Compounds dated February 28 2006 The Respondent shall provide copies of all raw data field notes boring logs detection limits and data validation information to EPA and CT DEP

The Respondent shall analyze each soil sample for VOCs using EPA SW-846 8260

The Respondent shall have the option to perform laboratory analysis of soil samples iteratively so long as all samples are analyzed within the prescribed 14 day holding time and standard EPA Region I QAQC and data validation procedures are met For the WS-20 area the inner ring samples shall be analyzed first results would then determine which samples obtained from the second ring of borings if any need to be analyzed based upon a comparison to the CT RSR PMCs and DECs Similarly for the main manufacturing building area samples obtained from the first row near the building shall be analyzed first Results will dictate which samples from the second row if any should be analyzed based upon a comparison to the CT RSR PMCs and DECs In the same manner results of the second row samples shall determine which samples from the third row of borings if any will need to be analyzed

The Respondent may determine compliance with CT RSR PMCs through SPLP or TCLP analysis

Based on the results of the soil VOC analysis if Respondent so elects the Respondent shall submit a plan for the collection of additional soil samples for laboratory analysis for disposal parameters (TCLP metals pH flashpoint reactive cyanide reactive sulfide [EPA SW-846 methods]) from a subset of the soil borings

contamination from the source areas

v State shall mean the State of Connecticut

w United States shall mean the United States of America

x Work shall mean all activities Respondent is required to perform under this Order and any activities required to be undertaken pursuant to Sections VII through XXIV and Sections XXVI and XXVIII of this Order

III FINDINGS OF FACT EPA has determined that

3 The Durham Meadows Superfund Site is located in the Town of Durham Middlesex County Connecticut and includes an area of groundwater contamination generally centered on Main Street The Site includes historic Main Street in Durham center and contains industrial and residential properties The Site is generally bounded by Talcott Lane to the north Brick Lane Ball Brook and Allyn Brook to the East Allyn Brook to the south and wetlands west of Maple Avenue to the west

4 The Site includes Respondents manufacturing facility located at 201 Main Street

5 Hazardous substances have been released at or from the Site Such substances include without limitation volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as trichloroethene (also known as trichloroethylene or TCE) 111-trichloroethane (also known as 111-TCA or TCA) xylene benzene methylene chloride toluene and tetrachloroethene (PCE) VOCs have been detected in soil and groundwater at the DMC property and at other locations within the Site and in residential drinking water wells within the Site

6 Pursuant to Section 105 of CERCLA 42 USC sect 9605 EPA placed the Durham Meadows Superfund Site on the National Priorities List (NPL) set forth at 40 CFR Part 300 Appendix B by publication in the Federal Register on October 4 1989

7 As a result of the release or threatened release of hazardous substances EPA has undertaken response actions at or in connection with the Site under Section 104 of CERCLA 42 USC sect 9604 and will undertake response actions in the future The State has also taken actions at or in connection with the Site to respond to hazardous waste or hazardous materials

8 EPA performed a remedial investigation pursuant to CERCLA and the NCP The remedial investigation report (RI Report) dated June 2005 summarized Site conditions and related potential human health and ecological risks

9 EPA performed a baseline human health risk assessment pursuant to CERCLA and the

NCP The baseline risk assessment report dated June 2005 summarized potential human health risks associated with Site-related contamination

10 EPA pursuant to CERCLA and the National Contingency Plan 40 CFR Part 300 performed a feasibility study of potential cleanup options and a feasibility study report (FS Report) was issued in June 2005 The FS Report presented the remedial alternatives evaluated to address Site conditions and potential risks

11 Based on the information and conclusions contained in the RI and FS Reports EPA also prepared a Technical Impracticability Evaluation Report (TI Evaluation) issued June 2005 pursuant to EPAs Technical Impracticability Guidance and the National Contingency Plan 40 CFR Part 300 The purpose of the TI Evaluation was to evaluate the practicability of returning groundwater to its beneficial use

12 Based on the information and conclusions contained in the baseline human health risk assessment RI and FS Reports as well as the TI Evaluation EPA issued a proposed plan (the Proposed Plan) on July 9 2005 The Proposed Plan presented EPAs recommended cleanup approach for the Site and summarized the options and information considered for the publics review and comment A notice and comment period published in the Federal Register followed the release of the Proposed Plan and concluded on August 12 2005 After the notice and comment period concluded EPA considered all comments received before finalizing selection of the remedial action plan The remedial action plan was finalized in a detailed Record of Decision (ROD) for the Site which was issued on September 30 2005 The ROD documents the selected cleanup remedy for the Site Appendix D of the ROD summarizes EPAs response to comments received during the notice and comment period for the Proposed Plan The RI Report FS Report the baseline risk assessment report the TI Evaluation and the ROD are part of the administrative record for this Order The ROD is incorporated into this Order and these Findings of Fact by reference

A Sources of Contamination and Primary Contaminants

13 At the DMC Study Area Respondent has manufactured and currently manufactures metal boxes and displays among other items Respondent has used various solvents during its operations including without limitation TCE (from the 1940s through the present) 111-TCA (from 1973-1976) and methylene chloride (used from 1976 through the present) In 1982 solvent usage was approximately 1000 gallons per month and the wastewater stream was approximately 4000 gallons per month

14 In 1951 Respondent installed a 750-gallon settling tank to receive wastewater and paint sludge from wet paint spray booths and a caustic stripper tank Approximately 500 gallons per year of sludge were pumped from the tank Supernatant in the tank was discharged into a ditch located in the DMC Study Area Approximately 1200 gallons of water per week moved through the settling tank to the ditch as a result of cleaning operations of the wet paint spray booths

15 An aeration pond was constructed in 1960 to receive non-contact cooling water from the degreasing and spot-welding operations and storm water from drains located around the parking lot and roof

16 In 1974 Respondent replaced the 750-gallon tank with a 5000-gallon tank which continued to receive wastewater and sludge from the wet paint spray booths and caustic stripper Water was eventually drained into a leaching field located in the DMC Study Area

17 From approximately 1974 through 1978 Respondent used unlined sludge drying beds in its wastewater treatment operations Accumulated paint sludge from the settling tank was directed into one of two drying beds approximately twice a year The sludge was dug out of the drying beds by hand approximately once a year drummed and taken to the DurhamMiddlefield landfill for disposal

18 Based on analytical data from extraction well EX-6 on the DMC Study Area a methylene chloride spill occurred in the area sometime in the mid-1990s

19 The primary contaminants in soil at the DMC Study Area include chlorinated VOCs such as TCE PCE and methylene chloride and non-chlorinated VOCs such as ethylbenzene toluene total xylenes and MTBE Primary contaminants in overburden (shallow) groundwater at the DMC Study Area include chlorinated VOCs such as TCE PCE and methylene chloride and non-chlorinated VOCs such as benzene ethylbenzene toluene and total xylenes Chlorinated VOCs detected in deeper bedrock groundwater wells at the DMC Study Area include TCE PCE 111-TCA 11-DCA 11-dichloroethene (11-DCE) 12-dichloroethene (12-DCE) cisshy12-dichloroethene (cis- 12-DCE) methylene chloride and vinyl chloride

20 A primary source of groundwater contamination in the Site-wide Groundwater Study Area includes spills past waste disposal practices andor other Site activities at the DMC Study Area The overburden soils impacted by this Study Area are another likely source of groundwater contamination in the bedrock aquifer

21 The primary contaminants in the Site-wide Groundwater Study Area are VOCs primarily chlorinated solvents (PCE TCE and 111-TCA) VOCs detected included solvents used in the industrial processes at the DMC Study Area Daughter compounds that likely result from the degradation of the primary chlorinated solvents were also detected in bedrock groundwater including cis-12-DCE trans-12-dichloroethene 11-DCE 11-DCA and vinyl chloride

B Exposure Pathways and Risks

22 Exposure to the contaminants described above in Paragraph 19 at the DMC Study Area presents a significant risk to human health if left untreated As described in the Section G of the ROD EPAs generally acceptable risk range for site-related exposure is 10-4 to 10-6 (1E-04 to

1E-06 or 1 in 10000 to 1 in a million) In assessing the potential for non-cancer adverse effects a hazard quotient (HQ) is calculated An HQ less than or equal to 1 (1E+00) indicates that toxic noncarcinogenic effects from a given chemical are unlikely

23 The unacceptable levels of cancer risk and non-cancer hazard caused by the actual or threatened release from the Site of the hazardous substances identified in Paragraphs 19 and 21 result in the following increased risks

a The excess lifetime cancer risk estimate for the current and future commercial worker for exposure to contaminants contained in untreated groundwater (by ingestion and dermal contact) from the DMC Study Area supply well (DMC 1) is 2E-04 and the estimated non-cancer risk is a hazard index of 5

b The excess lifetime cancer risk estimate for the future resident that may come to be located at the DMC Study Area and potentially exposed to contaminants contained in indoor air (by inhalation) following untreated vapor migration from overburden groundwater is 8E-03 and the estimated non-cancer risk is a hazard index of 4

c The estimated non-cancer risk for the future construction worker for exposure to contaminants contained in untreated shallow groundwater (by dermal contact) at the DMC Study Area is a hazard index of 30 and

d The excess lifetime cancer risk estimates for current and future residential exposure to contaminants contained in untreated groundwater (by ingestion dermal contact and inhalation) in the Site-wide Groundwater Study Area as household water range from 2E-04 to 3E-02 and the estimated non-cancer risks range from 2 to 900

24 Shallow and deeper groundwater at the DMC Study Area exhibits elevated concentrations of the contaminants described above in Paragraph 19 The levels of untreated groundwater contaminants exceed federal and state drinking water levels The levels of untreated groundwater contaminants also exceed state and federal levels related to the volatilization of contaminants into indoor air Soil at the DMC Study area exceeds direct contact and pollutant mobility criteria established by the States Remediation Standard Regulations The presence of these elevated levels of contaminants if not addressed poses an unacceptable level of risk to human health

25 A zone of groundwater contamination extends off of the DMC Study Area primarily to the south and southwest VOC concentrations in untreated groundwater exceeding federal and state drinking water levels extend off of the DMC Study Area and have impacted residential drinking wells in this area The presence of VOCs poses an unacceptable level of risk to human health namely through residential household water exposure to untreated groundwater

26 A range of health effects is associated with exposure to the primary contaminants

detected at the DMC Study Area and in the Site-wide Groundwater Study Area Benzene and vinyl chloride are known human carcinogens methylene chloride 11 -DCE PCE and TCE are probable or possible human carcinogens The effects of exposure to other contaminants (ethylbenzene 111-TCA and toluene) include eye nose and throat irritation nausea loss of coordination liver and kidney damage central nervous system damage and teratogenic effects

C Selected Remedy

27 The ROD sets forth the selected remedy for the Site which is detailed and described therein

28 This Order requires soil and groundwater sampling to support the remedial design of the excavation and off-site disposal of hot spot areas of soil contamination which is a portion of the remedy for the DMC Study Area Such remedial action will significantly reduce the risk posed to construction workers through direct contact of contaminants in groundwater immediately upon completion of the excavation and will reduce the concentrations of contaminants in groundwater by removing ongoing sources of contamination

29 This Order also requires that a sub-slab depressurization system be installed under the main manufacturing building at the DMC Study Area to mitigate the potential threat of the intrusion of contaminated vapors into the building

D Identification of Respondent

30 Respondent is a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Connecticut with its principal place of business in Durham Connecticut

31 Respondent is the owner of the property at 201 Main Street Durham Connecticut and has been the owner of such property since 1922

32 Respondent has operated a manufacturing facility on the DMC Study Area since 1922

33 By letter dated November 30 1993 EPA notified Respondent of its potential liability with respect to the Site

34 By letter dated April 7 2006 EPA notified Respondent of a sixty-day period to participate in formal negotiations to reach a settlement to conduct or finance response actions at the Site and to reimburse EPA for its response costs

35 In performing response actions at the Site EPA has incurred and will continue to incur response costs at or in connection with the Site

III SELECTED REMEDY

The ROD describes the remedy for the Site For the DMC Study Area specifically the ROD provides for soil excavation and off-site disposal of hot spot areas in order to address risks to human health from contamination in overburden (shallow) groundwater and to address source contamination Institutional controls primarily in the form of Environmental Land Use Restrictions (ELURs) as defined in the CT Remediation Standard Regulations (RSRs) andor by local ordinance will also be required to prevent unrestricted future use or use of contaminated groundwater EPA has selected other remedies for other portions of the Site

Components of the remedy to be performed by the Respondent pursuant to the Order and this SOW include Remedial Design Sampling of soil and groundwater at the DMC Study Area to more fully define the lateral and vertical extent of soil contamination and the installation of a sub-slab system to depressurize the area under the entire foundation of the main manufacturing building at the DMC Study Area

Sections IV and V discuss the Performance Standards and Sampling Plan for Remedial Design Sampling activities at the DMC Study Area Sections VI and VII discuss the Performance Standards and Plans to address activities related to the installation of a sub-

slab depressurization system for the main manufacturing building at the DMC Study Area

IV PERFORMANCE STANDARDS for REMEDIAL DESIGN SAMPLING

This section defines the Performance Standards for Remedial Design Sampling at the DMC Study Area

The Respondent shall conduct Remedial Design Sampling in order to provide all information required to design construct operate monitor and maintain the remedy at the DMC Study Area in compliance with Section L of the ROD all applicable or relevant and appropriate (ARAR) standards cited in the ROD and all Performance Standards for the components of the DMC Study Area remedy Remedial Design Sampling activities include sampling of groundwater and soil analysis and validation of data and tabulation and evaluation of data The Respondent shall comply with all requirements of the Order and this SOW

The DMC Study Area remedy addresses contamination in overburden (shallow) groundwater at the DMC Study Area through soil excavation as described in the ROD The focus of this remedy is removing the Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and possible Dense Non-Aqueous Phase Liquid (DNAPL) contamination in the overburden soils that are likely acting as continual sources of groundwater contamination These sources are located at the degreasing and former solvent storage area at the Northwest Corner Area the WS-20 Area and potentially in the Eastern Area

The Respondent shall conduct groundwater and soil sampling to determine the extent of groundwater hot spots and the extent of soil contamination acting as a source to ongoing groundwater contamination Groundwater hot spots are considered those areas demonstrating high concentrations of VOCs and the likely presence of DNAPL Initial investigations shall focus around the Northwest Corner Area the WS-20 Area and the Eastern Area

The Respondent shall collect data that supports remedial activities and allows for the design of a soil excavation remedy that (i) removes source areas to the maximum extent practicable (with the goal of meeting Interim Cleanup Levels for groundwater in the DMC Study Area as outlined in Table 42 of the ROD) and (ii) removes any soils exceeding CT RSR PMCs and DECs The Respondent shall conduct groundwater and soil sampling work reasonably concurrently The Respondent shall perform groundwater sampling to determine the extent of groundwater hot spots and provide information required to develop a post-remedial long-term groundwater monitoring plan The Respondent shall perform soil sampling to fully define the vertical and lateral extent of

Statement of Work for DMC UAO Version FINAL Durham Meadows Superfund Site Date July 26 2007 Durham Connecticut Page 3 of 30

soil with VOCs in excess of the CT RSR PMCs and DECs as well as to determine the extent of soil which if removed would be considered RCRA listed waste whether any soil contains RCRA characteristic waste based on TCLP analysis and potentially applicable disposal requirements and limitations such as RCRA land disposal restrictions

A General Requirements

Prior to implementation of any on-site field work the Respondent shall submit to EPA for its approval a field schedule that allows for EPA andor CT DEP oversight and split sampling

The Respondent shall conduct a survey of all sampling locations

The Respondent shall determine whether acquisition of access to neighboring properties is needed and take steps to acquire such access as necessary Initially access to the property located north of DMCs main manufacturing building will be required the Respondent shall make best efforts to obtain access and notify EPA immediately if access is denied

The Respondent shall determine the placement of utilities in areas to be sampled or where monitoring wells will be installed and take the appropriate steps to ensure the safety of the field team and on-site DMC workers The Respondent shall ensure that utilities are not disrupted during field sampling by creating andor updating a utility map prior to the start of any field work

To the extent that the Respondent generates investigation-derived waste the Respondent shall characterize and dispose of such waste in accordance with local State and Federal regulations Prior to any off-site transport of waste facilities selected for off-site disposal must be deemed acceptable by EPA as required pursuant to 40 CFR 300440

The Respondent shall provide copies of all raw data field notes boring logs detection limits data validation information or any other data collected to EPA and CT DEP

B Groundwater Sampling

The Respondent shall inspect all existing overburden groundwater monitoring wells within the DMC Study Area in order to determine whether they are in a condition adequate to perform low-flow groundwater sampling The Respondent

Statement of Work for DMC UAO Version FINAL Durham Meadows Superfund Site Date July 26 2007 Durham Connecticut Page 4 of 30

shall replace any unusable existing groundwater monitoring well with a new well located reasonably close to such unusable existing well The Respondent shall submit their evaluation of the viability of existing wells construction details of any unusable existing wells and the approximate location and construction details of any replacement wells to EPA for review and approval EPA approval shall be required prior to the Respondent sampling any existing or replacement groundwater monitoring wells or installing any replacement wells

In addition to replacing any unusable existing wells five groundwater wells shall be required to investigate the Eastern Area EPA in conjunction with CT DEP shall determine the exact location of the required groundwater wells in the Eastern Area

The Respondent shall conduct all new or replacement well installation in a manner that ensures continuous soil samples can be collected for screening during drilling (such as with direct push technology or a hollow stem auger) and where appropriate sampled During well installation soil shall be visually examined for evidence of DNAPL If DNAPL is visible in soil the Respondent shall conduct dye testing on the affected soil (using Sudan IV or similar dye) The Respondent shall also perform continuous screening of soil samples using a photoionization detector (PID) During screening the soil will be split open and the PID probe placed in the opening and covered with a gloved hand Any specific soil interval that indicates a PIC reading gt100 parts per million total detectible organic vapors will undergo further dye testing (using Sudan IV or similar dye)

Upon EPA approval the Respondent shall conduct groundwater sampling of the usable existing wells the replacement wells and the five new wells in the Eastern Area in a single sampling event

Groundwater sampling shall be conducted using low flow sampling techniques as described in EPA Region I Low Stress (low flow) Purging and Sampling Procedure for the Collection of Ground Water Samples from Monitoring Wells dated July 30 1996 Groundwater samples shall be analyzed for VOCs by EPA method 5242 or SW-846 method 8620 All groundwater sampling results shall be validated pursuant to Attachment A

During groundwater sampling the Respondent shall visually observe for the presence of DNAPL Dye testing (using Sudan IV or similar dye) or screening of the wells with an interface probe shall be performed where DNAPL is visually observed in groundwater (The absence of DNAPL observations or negative test results however does not rule out the presence of DNAPL)

At each boring location the Respondent shall collect three to four samples The Respondent shall determine sample depths by where higher VOC concentrations may be anticipated at the interface between the fill and the ablation till at the interface between the ablation till and the till at the water table and just above the bedrock surface (EPA Remedial Investigation Figures 34-2 and 34-3 indicate that the fill layer is typically two feet deep the ablation till varies from approximately three to eight feet in depth and till is on the order of 10 foot depth The water table depth is approximately 10 feet and bedrock depth approximately

20 feet) Where the ablation tilltill interface is close to the water table separate samples may not be required and three samples per boring location may be sufficient Observation and field screening of sample cores indicating soil with staining or high levels of VOCs may take precedence in selecting sample collection depth locations as described above

The Respondent may elect to conduct one additional round of Remedial Design sampling to more accurately delineate soil exceeding the CT RSR PMCs and DECs as long as such sampling does not delay the remedial action The Respondent shall propose the additional round of sampling to EPA and CT DEP The Respondent shall not conduct an additional round of sampling without receiving EPA approval

Respondent may also elect to collect concurrent samples during work being performed under this SOW provided such samples are analyzed within the appropriate holding times and otherwise comply with this SOW Any concurrent samples collected during the sampling planned as part of this SOW shall not require EPA approval but Respondent shall provide written notice of such sampling at least three days after such sampling occurs

Any additional or concurrent sampling shall be tighter (ie within an area between a sampling location meeting the CT RSR PMCs and DECs and another sampling location not meeting such soil standards) and no closer than five feet outward from a soil sample location not meeting the CT RSR PMCs or DECs Sampling depths intervals and protocols shall be similar to those required by this SOW The Respondent shall provide the results of all data to EPA and CT DEP

The Respondent shall advance all soil borings using direct-push techniques The Respondent shall visually observe the soil for the presence of DNAPL and perform continuous screening of soil samples and dye testing as necessary as

described in Section IVB Respondent shall use standard EPA Region I QAQC and data validation procedures as well as CT DEPs Guidance for Collecting and Preserving Soil and Sediment Samples for Laboratory Determination of Volatile Organic Compounds dated February 28 2006 The Respondent shall provide copies of all raw data field notes boring logs detection limits and data validation information to EPA and CT DEP

The Respondent shall analyze each soil sample for VOCs using EPA SW-846 8260

The Respondent shall have the option to perform laboratory analysis of soil samples iteratively so long as all samples are analyzed within the prescribed 14 day holding time and standard EPA Region I QAQC and data validation procedures are met For the WS-20 area the inner ring samples shall be analyzed first results would then determine which samples obtained from the second ring of borings if any need to be analyzed based upon a comparison to the CT RSR PMCs and DECs Similarly for the main manufacturing building area samples obtained from the first row near the building shall be analyzed first Results will dictate which samples from the second row if any should be analyzed based upon a comparison to the CT RSR PMCs and DECs In the same manner results of the second row samples shall determine which samples from the third row of borings if any will need to be analyzed

The Respondent may determine compliance with CT RSR PMCs through SPLP or TCLP analysis

Based on the results of the soil VOC analysis if Respondent so elects the Respondent shall submit a plan for the collection of additional soil samples for laboratory analysis for disposal parameters (TCLP metals pH flashpoint reactive cyanide reactive sulfide [EPA SW-846 methods]) from a subset of the soil borings

NCP The baseline risk assessment report dated June 2005 summarized potential human health risks associated with Site-related contamination

10 EPA pursuant to CERCLA and the National Contingency Plan 40 CFR Part 300 performed a feasibility study of potential cleanup options and a feasibility study report (FS Report) was issued in June 2005 The FS Report presented the remedial alternatives evaluated to address Site conditions and potential risks

11 Based on the information and conclusions contained in the RI and FS Reports EPA also prepared a Technical Impracticability Evaluation Report (TI Evaluation) issued June 2005 pursuant to EPAs Technical Impracticability Guidance and the National Contingency Plan 40 CFR Part 300 The purpose of the TI Evaluation was to evaluate the practicability of returning groundwater to its beneficial use

12 Based on the information and conclusions contained in the baseline human health risk assessment RI and FS Reports as well as the TI Evaluation EPA issued a proposed plan (the Proposed Plan) on July 9 2005 The Proposed Plan presented EPAs recommended cleanup approach for the Site and summarized the options and information considered for the publics review and comment A notice and comment period published in the Federal Register followed the release of the Proposed Plan and concluded on August 12 2005 After the notice and comment period concluded EPA considered all comments received before finalizing selection of the remedial action plan The remedial action plan was finalized in a detailed Record of Decision (ROD) for the Site which was issued on September 30 2005 The ROD documents the selected cleanup remedy for the Site Appendix D of the ROD summarizes EPAs response to comments received during the notice and comment period for the Proposed Plan The RI Report FS Report the baseline risk assessment report the TI Evaluation and the ROD are part of the administrative record for this Order The ROD is incorporated into this Order and these Findings of Fact by reference

A Sources of Contamination and Primary Contaminants

13 At the DMC Study Area Respondent has manufactured and currently manufactures metal boxes and displays among other items Respondent has used various solvents during its operations including without limitation TCE (from the 1940s through the present) 111-TCA (from 1973-1976) and methylene chloride (used from 1976 through the present) In 1982 solvent usage was approximately 1000 gallons per month and the wastewater stream was approximately 4000 gallons per month

14 In 1951 Respondent installed a 750-gallon settling tank to receive wastewater and paint sludge from wet paint spray booths and a caustic stripper tank Approximately 500 gallons per year of sludge were pumped from the tank Supernatant in the tank was discharged into a ditch located in the DMC Study Area Approximately 1200 gallons of water per week moved through the settling tank to the ditch as a result of cleaning operations of the wet paint spray booths

15 An aeration pond was constructed in 1960 to receive non-contact cooling water from the degreasing and spot-welding operations and storm water from drains located around the parking lot and roof

16 In 1974 Respondent replaced the 750-gallon tank with a 5000-gallon tank which continued to receive wastewater and sludge from the wet paint spray booths and caustic stripper Water was eventually drained into a leaching field located in the DMC Study Area

17 From approximately 1974 through 1978 Respondent used unlined sludge drying beds in its wastewater treatment operations Accumulated paint sludge from the settling tank was directed into one of two drying beds approximately twice a year The sludge was dug out of the drying beds by hand approximately once a year drummed and taken to the DurhamMiddlefield landfill for disposal

18 Based on analytical data from extraction well EX-6 on the DMC Study Area a methylene chloride spill occurred in the area sometime in the mid-1990s

19 The primary contaminants in soil at the DMC Study Area include chlorinated VOCs such as TCE PCE and methylene chloride and non-chlorinated VOCs such as ethylbenzene toluene total xylenes and MTBE Primary contaminants in overburden (shallow) groundwater at the DMC Study Area include chlorinated VOCs such as TCE PCE and methylene chloride and non-chlorinated VOCs such as benzene ethylbenzene toluene and total xylenes Chlorinated VOCs detected in deeper bedrock groundwater wells at the DMC Study Area include TCE PCE 111-TCA 11-DCA 11-dichloroethene (11-DCE) 12-dichloroethene (12-DCE) cisshy12-dichloroethene (cis- 12-DCE) methylene chloride and vinyl chloride

20 A primary source of groundwater contamination in the Site-wide Groundwater Study Area includes spills past waste disposal practices andor other Site activities at the DMC Study Area The overburden soils impacted by this Study Area are another likely source of groundwater contamination in the bedrock aquifer

21 The primary contaminants in the Site-wide Groundwater Study Area are VOCs primarily chlorinated solvents (PCE TCE and 111-TCA) VOCs detected included solvents used in the industrial processes at the DMC Study Area Daughter compounds that likely result from the degradation of the primary chlorinated solvents were also detected in bedrock groundwater including cis-12-DCE trans-12-dichloroethene 11-DCE 11-DCA and vinyl chloride

B Exposure Pathways and Risks

22 Exposure to the contaminants described above in Paragraph 19 at the DMC Study Area presents a significant risk to human health if left untreated As described in the Section G of the ROD EPAs generally acceptable risk range for site-related exposure is 10-4 to 10-6 (1E-04 to

1E-06 or 1 in 10000 to 1 in a million) In assessing the potential for non-cancer adverse effects a hazard quotient (HQ) is calculated An HQ less than or equal to 1 (1E+00) indicates that toxic noncarcinogenic effects from a given chemical are unlikely

23 The unacceptable levels of cancer risk and non-cancer hazard caused by the actual or threatened release from the Site of the hazardous substances identified in Paragraphs 19 and 21 result in the following increased risks

a The excess lifetime cancer risk estimate for the current and future commercial worker for exposure to contaminants contained in untreated groundwater (by ingestion and dermal contact) from the DMC Study Area supply well (DMC 1) is 2E-04 and the estimated non-cancer risk is a hazard index of 5

b The excess lifetime cancer risk estimate for the future resident that may come to be located at the DMC Study Area and potentially exposed to contaminants contained in indoor air (by inhalation) following untreated vapor migration from overburden groundwater is 8E-03 and the estimated non-cancer risk is a hazard index of 4

c The estimated non-cancer risk for the future construction worker for exposure to contaminants contained in untreated shallow groundwater (by dermal contact) at the DMC Study Area is a hazard index of 30 and

d The excess lifetime cancer risk estimates for current and future residential exposure to contaminants contained in untreated groundwater (by ingestion dermal contact and inhalation) in the Site-wide Groundwater Study Area as household water range from 2E-04 to 3E-02 and the estimated non-cancer risks range from 2 to 900

24 Shallow and deeper groundwater at the DMC Study Area exhibits elevated concentrations of the contaminants described above in Paragraph 19 The levels of untreated groundwater contaminants exceed federal and state drinking water levels The levels of untreated groundwater contaminants also exceed state and federal levels related to the volatilization of contaminants into indoor air Soil at the DMC Study area exceeds direct contact and pollutant mobility criteria established by the States Remediation Standard Regulations The presence of these elevated levels of contaminants if not addressed poses an unacceptable level of risk to human health

25 A zone of groundwater contamination extends off of the DMC Study Area primarily to the south and southwest VOC concentrations in untreated groundwater exceeding federal and state drinking water levels extend off of the DMC Study Area and have impacted residential drinking wells in this area The presence of VOCs poses an unacceptable level of risk to human health namely through residential household water exposure to untreated groundwater

26 A range of health effects is associated with exposure to the primary contaminants

detected at the DMC Study Area and in the Site-wide Groundwater Study Area Benzene and vinyl chloride are known human carcinogens methylene chloride 11 -DCE PCE and TCE are probable or possible human carcinogens The effects of exposure to other contaminants (ethylbenzene 111-TCA and toluene) include eye nose and throat irritation nausea loss of coordination liver and kidney damage central nervous system damage and teratogenic effects

C Selected Remedy

27 The ROD sets forth the selected remedy for the Site which is detailed and described therein

28 This Order requires soil and groundwater sampling to support the remedial design of the excavation and off-site disposal of hot spot areas of soil contamination which is a portion of the remedy for the DMC Study Area Such remedial action will significantly reduce the risk posed to construction workers through direct contact of contaminants in groundwater immediately upon completion of the excavation and will reduce the concentrations of contaminants in groundwater by removing ongoing sources of contamination

29 This Order also requires that a sub-slab depressurization system be installed under the main manufacturing building at the DMC Study Area to mitigate the potential threat of the intrusion of contaminated vapors into the building

D Identification of Respondent

30 Respondent is a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Connecticut with its principal place of business in Durham Connecticut

31 Respondent is the owner of the property at 201 Main Street Durham Connecticut and has been the owner of such property since 1922

32 Respondent has operated a manufacturing facility on the DMC Study Area since 1922

33 By letter dated November 30 1993 EPA notified Respondent of its potential liability with respect to the Site

34 By letter dated April 7 2006 EPA notified Respondent of a sixty-day period to participate in formal negotiations to reach a settlement to conduct or finance response actions at the Site and to reimburse EPA for its response costs

35 In performing response actions at the Site EPA has incurred and will continue to incur response costs at or in connection with the Site

IV PERFORMANCE STANDARDS for REMEDIAL DESIGN SAMPLING

This section defines the Performance Standards for Remedial Design Sampling at the DMC Study Area

The Respondent shall conduct Remedial Design Sampling in order to provide all information required to design construct operate monitor and maintain the remedy at the DMC Study Area in compliance with Section L of the ROD all applicable or relevant and appropriate (ARAR) standards cited in the ROD and all Performance Standards for the components of the DMC Study Area remedy Remedial Design Sampling activities include sampling of groundwater and soil analysis and validation of data and tabulation and evaluation of data The Respondent shall comply with all requirements of the Order and this SOW

The DMC Study Area remedy addresses contamination in overburden (shallow) groundwater at the DMC Study Area through soil excavation as described in the ROD The focus of this remedy is removing the Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and possible Dense Non-Aqueous Phase Liquid (DNAPL) contamination in the overburden soils that are likely acting as continual sources of groundwater contamination These sources are located at the degreasing and former solvent storage area at the Northwest Corner Area the WS-20 Area and potentially in the Eastern Area

The Respondent shall conduct groundwater and soil sampling to determine the extent of groundwater hot spots and the extent of soil contamination acting as a source to ongoing groundwater contamination Groundwater hot spots are considered those areas demonstrating high concentrations of VOCs and the likely presence of DNAPL Initial investigations shall focus around the Northwest Corner Area the WS-20 Area and the Eastern Area

The Respondent shall collect data that supports remedial activities and allows for the design of a soil excavation remedy that (i) removes source areas to the maximum extent practicable (with the goal of meeting Interim Cleanup Levels for groundwater in the DMC Study Area as outlined in Table 42 of the ROD) and (ii) removes any soils exceeding CT RSR PMCs and DECs The Respondent shall conduct groundwater and soil sampling work reasonably concurrently The Respondent shall perform groundwater sampling to determine the extent of groundwater hot spots and provide information required to develop a post-remedial long-term groundwater monitoring plan The Respondent shall perform soil sampling to fully define the vertical and lateral extent of

Statement of Work for DMC UAO Version FINAL Durham Meadows Superfund Site Date July 26 2007 Durham Connecticut Page 3 of 30

soil with VOCs in excess of the CT RSR PMCs and DECs as well as to determine the extent of soil which if removed would be considered RCRA listed waste whether any soil contains RCRA characteristic waste based on TCLP analysis and potentially applicable disposal requirements and limitations such as RCRA land disposal restrictions

A General Requirements

Prior to implementation of any on-site field work the Respondent shall submit to EPA for its approval a field schedule that allows for EPA andor CT DEP oversight and split sampling

The Respondent shall conduct a survey of all sampling locations

The Respondent shall determine whether acquisition of access to neighboring properties is needed and take steps to acquire such access as necessary Initially access to the property located north of DMCs main manufacturing building will be required the Respondent shall make best efforts to obtain access and notify EPA immediately if access is denied

The Respondent shall determine the placement of utilities in areas to be sampled or where monitoring wells will be installed and take the appropriate steps to ensure the safety of the field team and on-site DMC workers The Respondent shall ensure that utilities are not disrupted during field sampling by creating andor updating a utility map prior to the start of any field work

To the extent that the Respondent generates investigation-derived waste the Respondent shall characterize and dispose of such waste in accordance with local State and Federal regulations Prior to any off-site transport of waste facilities selected for off-site disposal must be deemed acceptable by EPA as required pursuant to 40 CFR 300440

The Respondent shall provide copies of all raw data field notes boring logs detection limits data validation information or any other data collected to EPA and CT DEP

B Groundwater Sampling

The Respondent shall inspect all existing overburden groundwater monitoring wells within the DMC Study Area in order to determine whether they are in a condition adequate to perform low-flow groundwater sampling The Respondent

Statement of Work for DMC UAO Version FINAL Durham Meadows Superfund Site Date July 26 2007 Durham Connecticut Page 4 of 30

shall replace any unusable existing groundwater monitoring well with a new well located reasonably close to such unusable existing well The Respondent shall submit their evaluation of the viability of existing wells construction details of any unusable existing wells and the approximate location and construction details of any replacement wells to EPA for review and approval EPA approval shall be required prior to the Respondent sampling any existing or replacement groundwater monitoring wells or installing any replacement wells

In addition to replacing any unusable existing wells five groundwater wells shall be required to investigate the Eastern Area EPA in conjunction with CT DEP shall determine the exact location of the required groundwater wells in the Eastern Area

The Respondent shall conduct all new or replacement well installation in a manner that ensures continuous soil samples can be collected for screening during drilling (such as with direct push technology or a hollow stem auger) and where appropriate sampled During well installation soil shall be visually examined for evidence of DNAPL If DNAPL is visible in soil the Respondent shall conduct dye testing on the affected soil (using Sudan IV or similar dye) The Respondent shall also perform continuous screening of soil samples using a photoionization detector (PID) During screening the soil will be split open and the PID probe placed in the opening and covered with a gloved hand Any specific soil interval that indicates a PIC reading gt100 parts per million total detectible organic vapors will undergo further dye testing (using Sudan IV or similar dye)

Upon EPA approval the Respondent shall conduct groundwater sampling of the usable existing wells the replacement wells and the five new wells in the Eastern Area in a single sampling event

Groundwater sampling shall be conducted using low flow sampling techniques as described in EPA Region I Low Stress (low flow) Purging and Sampling Procedure for the Collection of Ground Water Samples from Monitoring Wells dated July 30 1996 Groundwater samples shall be analyzed for VOCs by EPA method 5242 or SW-846 method 8620 All groundwater sampling results shall be validated pursuant to Attachment A

During groundwater sampling the Respondent shall visually observe for the presence of DNAPL Dye testing (using Sudan IV or similar dye) or screening of the wells with an interface probe shall be performed where DNAPL is visually observed in groundwater (The absence of DNAPL observations or negative test results however does not rule out the presence of DNAPL)

Statement of Work for DMC UAO Version FINAL Durham Meadows Superfund Site Date July 26 2007

Additional investigation including additional soil sampling in the Eastern Area may be required after reviewing data from groundwater well sampling

C Soil Sampling

Substantially concurrent with groundwater sampling Respondent shall conduct soil borings and soil sampling on a grid pattern at the Northwest Corner Area and the WS-20 Area to define the extent of soil contamination exceeding the CT RSR PMCs and DECs As stated above additional soil sampling in the Eastern Area may be required after reviewing data from groundwater well sampling

The Respondent shall collect soil samples in a grid pattern Soil samples shall continue outwards as defined below in all directions (both laterally and vertically) until samples do not exceed CT RSR PMCs and DECs or until a building foundation is encountered If samples from the final row of the grid areas defined below exceed either CT RSR PMCs or DECs additional soil sampling shall be required unless a building foundation is encountered The Respondent shall submit the proposed grid and locations of soil borings and soil sampling to EPA for review and approval EPA approval shall be required prior to the Respondent implementing soil boring and soil sampling activities

At the Northwest Corner Area the Respondent shall collect samples in a grid The initial round of soil sampling shall include three rows of borings The first row of samples shall start five feet from the outer northern wall of the building The row shall contain five or six sampling locations spaced 30 feet apart the number of sampling locations in each row should be determined based on past data allowing a buffer zone to ensure the lateral edges of the contaminated zone to the east and west are fully defined The row shall begin at approximately the western edge of the building and extend at least 150 feet to the east The row shall be repeated northward every 15 feet subject to obtaining access from abutters (The second row shall be 20 feet from the building wall and the third row shall be 35 feet from the building wall) The borings shall extend to the east and west as necessary to define the lateral extent of exceedances of the CT RSR PMCs and DECs

At the WS-20 Area the Respondent shall advance radial soil borings centered around well WS-20 with radial spokes extending in the four compass directions Samples shall be taken in 10 foot intervals with the first iteration being four borings and the successive iterations being eight borings with iterations spaced 10 feet apart The initial round of soil sampling shall include

Statement of Work for DMC UAO Version FINAL Durham Meadows Superfund Site Date July 26 2007 Durham Connecticut Page 6 of 30

both rings (the inner ring 10 feet removed from WS-20 with four borings and the outer ring 20 feet removed from WS-20 with eight borings)

At each boring location the Respondent shall collect three to four samples The Respondent shall determine sample depths by where higher VOC concentrations may be anticipated at the interface between the fill and the ablation till at the interface between the ablation till and the till at the water table and just above the bedrock surface (EPA Remedial Investigation Figures 34-2 and 34-3 indicate that the fill layer is typically two feet deep the ablation till varies from approximately three to eight feet in depth and till is on the order of 10 foot depth The water table depth is approximately 10 feet and bedrock depth approximately

20 feet) Where the ablation tilltill interface is close to the water table separate samples may not be required and three samples per boring location may be sufficient Observation and field screening of sample cores indicating soil with staining or high levels of VOCs may take precedence in selecting sample collection depth locations as described above

The Respondent may elect to conduct one additional round of Remedial Design sampling to more accurately delineate soil exceeding the CT RSR PMCs and DECs as long as such sampling does not delay the remedial action The Respondent shall propose the additional round of sampling to EPA and CT DEP The Respondent shall not conduct an additional round of sampling without receiving EPA approval

Respondent may also elect to collect concurrent samples during work being performed under this SOW provided such samples are analyzed within the appropriate holding times and otherwise comply with this SOW Any concurrent samples collected during the sampling planned as part of this SOW shall not require EPA approval but Respondent shall provide written notice of such sampling at least three days after such sampling occurs

Any additional or concurrent sampling shall be tighter (ie within an area between a sampling location meeting the CT RSR PMCs and DECs and another sampling location not meeting such soil standards) and no closer than five feet outward from a soil sample location not meeting the CT RSR PMCs or DECs Sampling depths intervals and protocols shall be similar to those required by this SOW The Respondent shall provide the results of all data to EPA and CT DEP

The Respondent shall advance all soil borings using direct-push techniques The Respondent shall visually observe the soil for the presence of DNAPL and perform continuous screening of soil samples and dye testing as necessary as

Statement of Work for DMC UAO Version FINAL Durham Meadows Superfund Site Date July 26 2007 Durham Connecticut Page 7 of 30

described in Section IVB Respondent shall use standard EPA Region I QAQC and data validation procedures as well as CT DEPs Guidance for Collecting and Preserving Soil and Sediment Samples for Laboratory Determination of Volatile Organic Compounds dated February 28 2006 The Respondent shall provide copies of all raw data field notes boring logs detection limits and data validation information to EPA and CT DEP

The Respondent shall analyze each soil sample for VOCs using EPA SW-846 8260

The Respondent shall have the option to perform laboratory analysis of soil samples iteratively so long as all samples are analyzed within the prescribed 14 day holding time and standard EPA Region I QAQC and data validation procedures are met For the WS-20 area the inner ring samples shall be analyzed first results would then determine which samples obtained from the second ring of borings if any need to be analyzed based upon a comparison to the CT RSR PMCs and DECs Similarly for the main manufacturing building area samples obtained from the first row near the building shall be analyzed first Results will dictate which samples from the second row if any should be analyzed based upon a comparison to the CT RSR PMCs and DECs In the same manner results of the second row samples shall determine which samples from the third row of borings if any will need to be analyzed

The Respondent may determine compliance with CT RSR PMCs through SPLP or TCLP analysis

Based on the results of the soil VOC analysis if Respondent so elects the Respondent shall submit a plan for the collection of additional soil samples for laboratory analysis for disposal parameters (TCLP metals pH flashpoint reactive cyanide reactive sulfide [EPA SW-846 methods]) from a subset of the soil borings

15 An aeration pond was constructed in 1960 to receive non-contact cooling water from the degreasing and spot-welding operations and storm water from drains located around the parking lot and roof

16 In 1974 Respondent replaced the 750-gallon tank with a 5000-gallon tank which continued to receive wastewater and sludge from the wet paint spray booths and caustic stripper Water was eventually drained into a leaching field located in the DMC Study Area

17 From approximately 1974 through 1978 Respondent used unlined sludge drying beds in its wastewater treatment operations Accumulated paint sludge from the settling tank was directed into one of two drying beds approximately twice a year The sludge was dug out of the drying beds by hand approximately once a year drummed and taken to the DurhamMiddlefield landfill for disposal

18 Based on analytical data from extraction well EX-6 on the DMC Study Area a methylene chloride spill occurred in the area sometime in the mid-1990s

19 The primary contaminants in soil at the DMC Study Area include chlorinated VOCs such as TCE PCE and methylene chloride and non-chlorinated VOCs such as ethylbenzene toluene total xylenes and MTBE Primary contaminants in overburden (shallow) groundwater at the DMC Study Area include chlorinated VOCs such as TCE PCE and methylene chloride and non-chlorinated VOCs such as benzene ethylbenzene toluene and total xylenes Chlorinated VOCs detected in deeper bedrock groundwater wells at the DMC Study Area include TCE PCE 111-TCA 11-DCA 11-dichloroethene (11-DCE) 12-dichloroethene (12-DCE) cisshy12-dichloroethene (cis- 12-DCE) methylene chloride and vinyl chloride

20 A primary source of groundwater contamination in the Site-wide Groundwater Study Area includes spills past waste disposal practices andor other Site activities at the DMC Study Area The overburden soils impacted by this Study Area are another likely source of groundwater contamination in the bedrock aquifer

21 The primary contaminants in the Site-wide Groundwater Study Area are VOCs primarily chlorinated solvents (PCE TCE and 111-TCA) VOCs detected included solvents used in the industrial processes at the DMC Study Area Daughter compounds that likely result from the degradation of the primary chlorinated solvents were also detected in bedrock groundwater including cis-12-DCE trans-12-dichloroethene 11-DCE 11-DCA and vinyl chloride

B Exposure Pathways and Risks

22 Exposure to the contaminants described above in Paragraph 19 at the DMC Study Area presents a significant risk to human health if left untreated As described in the Section G of the ROD EPAs generally acceptable risk range for site-related exposure is 10-4 to 10-6 (1E-04 to

1E-06 or 1 in 10000 to 1 in a million) In assessing the potential for non-cancer adverse effects a hazard quotient (HQ) is calculated An HQ less than or equal to 1 (1E+00) indicates that toxic noncarcinogenic effects from a given chemical are unlikely

23 The unacceptable levels of cancer risk and non-cancer hazard caused by the actual or threatened release from the Site of the hazardous substances identified in Paragraphs 19 and 21 result in the following increased risks

a The excess lifetime cancer risk estimate for the current and future commercial worker for exposure to contaminants contained in untreated groundwater (by ingestion and dermal contact) from the DMC Study Area supply well (DMC 1) is 2E-04 and the estimated non-cancer risk is a hazard index of 5

b The excess lifetime cancer risk estimate for the future resident that may come to be located at the DMC Study Area and potentially exposed to contaminants contained in indoor air (by inhalation) following untreated vapor migration from overburden groundwater is 8E-03 and the estimated non-cancer risk is a hazard index of 4

c The estimated non-cancer risk for the future construction worker for exposure to contaminants contained in untreated shallow groundwater (by dermal contact) at the DMC Study Area is a hazard index of 30 and

d The excess lifetime cancer risk estimates for current and future residential exposure to contaminants contained in untreated groundwater (by ingestion dermal contact and inhalation) in the Site-wide Groundwater Study Area as household water range from 2E-04 to 3E-02 and the estimated non-cancer risks range from 2 to 900

24 Shallow and deeper groundwater at the DMC Study Area exhibits elevated concentrations of the contaminants described above in Paragraph 19 The levels of untreated groundwater contaminants exceed federal and state drinking water levels The levels of untreated groundwater contaminants also exceed state and federal levels related to the volatilization of contaminants into indoor air Soil at the DMC Study area exceeds direct contact and pollutant mobility criteria established by the States Remediation Standard Regulations The presence of these elevated levels of contaminants if not addressed poses an unacceptable level of risk to human health

25 A zone of groundwater contamination extends off of the DMC Study Area primarily to the south and southwest VOC concentrations in untreated groundwater exceeding federal and state drinking water levels extend off of the DMC Study Area and have impacted residential drinking wells in this area The presence of VOCs poses an unacceptable level of risk to human health namely through residential household water exposure to untreated groundwater

26 A range of health effects is associated with exposure to the primary contaminants

detected at the DMC Study Area and in the Site-wide Groundwater Study Area Benzene and vinyl chloride are known human carcinogens methylene chloride 11 -DCE PCE and TCE are probable or possible human carcinogens The effects of exposure to other contaminants (ethylbenzene 111-TCA and toluene) include eye nose and throat irritation nausea loss of coordination liver and kidney damage central nervous system damage and teratogenic effects

C Selected Remedy

27 The ROD sets forth the selected remedy for the Site which is detailed and described therein

28 This Order requires soil and groundwater sampling to support the remedial design of the excavation and off-site disposal of hot spot areas of soil contamination which is a portion of the remedy for the DMC Study Area Such remedial action will significantly reduce the risk posed to construction workers through direct contact of contaminants in groundwater immediately upon completion of the excavation and will reduce the concentrations of contaminants in groundwater by removing ongoing sources of contamination

29 This Order also requires that a sub-slab depressurization system be installed under the main manufacturing building at the DMC Study Area to mitigate the potential threat of the intrusion of contaminated vapors into the building

D Identification of Respondent

30 Respondent is a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Connecticut with its principal place of business in Durham Connecticut

31 Respondent is the owner of the property at 201 Main Street Durham Connecticut and has been the owner of such property since 1922

32 Respondent has operated a manufacturing facility on the DMC Study Area since 1922

33 By letter dated November 30 1993 EPA notified Respondent of its potential liability with respect to the Site

34 By letter dated April 7 2006 EPA notified Respondent of a sixty-day period to participate in formal negotiations to reach a settlement to conduct or finance response actions at the Site and to reimburse EPA for its response costs

35 In performing response actions at the Site EPA has incurred and will continue to incur response costs at or in connection with the Site

IV CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND DETERMINATIONS

III SELECTED REMEDY

The ROD describes the remedy for the Site For the DMC Study Area specifically the ROD provides for soil excavation and off-site disposal of hot spot areas in order to address risks to human health from contamination in overburden (shallow) groundwater and to address source contamination Institutional controls primarily in the form of Environmental Land Use Restrictions (ELURs) as defined in the CT Remediation Standard Regulations (RSRs) andor by local ordinance will also be required to prevent unrestricted future use or use of contaminated groundwater EPA has selected other remedies for other portions of the Site

Components of the remedy to be performed by the Respondent pursuant to the Order and this SOW include Remedial Design Sampling of soil and groundwater at the DMC Study Area to more fully define the lateral and vertical extent of soil contamination and the installation of a sub-slab system to depressurize the area under the entire foundation of the main manufacturing building at the DMC Study Area

Sections IV and V discuss the Performance Standards and Sampling Plan for Remedial Design Sampling activities at the DMC Study Area Sections VI and VII discuss the Performance Standards and Plans to address activities related to the installation of a sub-

IV PERFORMANCE STANDARDS for REMEDIAL DESIGN SAMPLING

This section defines the Performance Standards for Remedial Design Sampling at the DMC Study Area

The Respondent shall conduct Remedial Design Sampling in order to provide all information required to design construct operate monitor and maintain the remedy at the DMC Study Area in compliance with Section L of the ROD all applicable or relevant and appropriate (ARAR) standards cited in the ROD and all Performance Standards for the components of the DMC Study Area remedy Remedial Design Sampling activities include sampling of groundwater and soil analysis and validation of data and tabulation and evaluation of data The Respondent shall comply with all requirements of the Order and this SOW

The DMC Study Area remedy addresses contamination in overburden (shallow) groundwater at the DMC Study Area through soil excavation as described in the ROD The focus of this remedy is removing the Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and possible Dense Non-Aqueous Phase Liquid (DNAPL) contamination in the overburden soils that are likely acting as continual sources of groundwater contamination These sources are located at the degreasing and former solvent storage area at the Northwest Corner Area the WS-20 Area and potentially in the Eastern Area

The Respondent shall conduct groundwater and soil sampling to determine the extent of groundwater hot spots and the extent of soil contamination acting as a source to ongoing groundwater contamination Groundwater hot spots are considered those areas demonstrating high concentrations of VOCs and the likely presence of DNAPL Initial investigations shall focus around the Northwest Corner Area the WS-20 Area and the Eastern Area

The Respondent shall collect data that supports remedial activities and allows for the design of a soil excavation remedy that (i) removes source areas to the maximum extent practicable (with the goal of meeting Interim Cleanup Levels for groundwater in the DMC Study Area as outlined in Table 42 of the ROD) and (ii) removes any soils exceeding CT RSR PMCs and DECs The Respondent shall conduct groundwater and soil sampling work reasonably concurrently The Respondent shall perform groundwater sampling to determine the extent of groundwater hot spots and provide information required to develop a post-remedial long-term groundwater monitoring plan The Respondent shall perform soil sampling to fully define the vertical and lateral extent of

Statement of Work for DMC UAO Version FINAL Durham Meadows Superfund Site Date July 26 2007 Durham Connecticut Page 3 of 30

soil with VOCs in excess of the CT RSR PMCs and DECs as well as to determine the extent of soil which if removed would be considered RCRA listed waste whether any soil contains RCRA characteristic waste based on TCLP analysis and potentially applicable disposal requirements and limitations such as RCRA land disposal restrictions

A General Requirements

Prior to implementation of any on-site field work the Respondent shall submit to EPA for its approval a field schedule that allows for EPA andor CT DEP oversight and split sampling

The Respondent shall conduct a survey of all sampling locations

The Respondent shall determine whether acquisition of access to neighboring properties is needed and take steps to acquire such access as necessary Initially access to the property located north of DMCs main manufacturing building will be required the Respondent shall make best efforts to obtain access and notify EPA immediately if access is denied

The Respondent shall determine the placement of utilities in areas to be sampled or where monitoring wells will be installed and take the appropriate steps to ensure the safety of the field team and on-site DMC workers The Respondent shall ensure that utilities are not disrupted during field sampling by creating andor updating a utility map prior to the start of any field work

To the extent that the Respondent generates investigation-derived waste the Respondent shall characterize and dispose of such waste in accordance with local State and Federal regulations Prior to any off-site transport of waste facilities selected for off-site disposal must be deemed acceptable by EPA as required pursuant to 40 CFR 300440

The Respondent shall provide copies of all raw data field notes boring logs detection limits data validation information or any other data collected to EPA and CT DEP

B Groundwater Sampling

The Respondent shall inspect all existing overburden groundwater monitoring wells within the DMC Study Area in order to determine whether they are in a condition adequate to perform low-flow groundwater sampling The Respondent

Statement of Work for DMC UAO Version FINAL Durham Meadows Superfund Site Date July 26 2007 Durham Connecticut Page 4 of 30

shall replace any unusable existing groundwater monitoring well with a new well located reasonably close to such unusable existing well The Respondent shall submit their evaluation of the viability of existing wells construction details of any unusable existing wells and the approximate location and construction details of any replacement wells to EPA for review and approval EPA approval shall be required prior to the Respondent sampling any existing or replacement groundwater monitoring wells or installing any replacement wells

In addition to replacing any unusable existing wells five groundwater wells shall be required to investigate the Eastern Area EPA in conjunction with CT DEP shall determine the exact location of the required groundwater wells in the Eastern Area

The Respondent shall conduct all new or replacement well installation in a manner that ensures continuous soil samples can be collected for screening during drilling (such as with direct push technology or a hollow stem auger) and where appropriate sampled During well installation soil shall be visually examined for evidence of DNAPL If DNAPL is visible in soil the Respondent shall conduct dye testing on the affected soil (using Sudan IV or similar dye) The Respondent shall also perform continuous screening of soil samples using a photoionization detector (PID) During screening the soil will be split open and the PID probe placed in the opening and covered with a gloved hand Any specific soil interval that indicates a PIC reading gt100 parts per million total detectible organic vapors will undergo further dye testing (using Sudan IV or similar dye)

Upon EPA approval the Respondent shall conduct groundwater sampling of the usable existing wells the replacement wells and the five new wells in the Eastern Area in a single sampling event

Groundwater sampling shall be conducted using low flow sampling techniques as described in EPA Region I Low Stress (low flow) Purging and Sampling Procedure for the Collection of Ground Water Samples from Monitoring Wells dated July 30 1996 Groundwater samples shall be analyzed for VOCs by EPA method 5242 or SW-846 method 8620 All groundwater sampling results shall be validated pursuant to Attachment A

During groundwater sampling the Respondent shall visually observe for the presence of DNAPL Dye testing (using Sudan IV or similar dye) or screening of the wells with an interface probe shall be performed where DNAPL is visually observed in groundwater (The absence of DNAPL observations or negative test results however does not rule out the presence of DNAPL)

Statement of Work for DMC UAO Version FINAL Durham Meadows Superfund Site Date July 26 2007

Additional investigation including additional soil sampling in the Eastern Area may be required after reviewing data from groundwater well sampling

C Soil Sampling

Substantially concurrent with groundwater sampling Respondent shall conduct soil borings and soil sampling on a grid pattern at the Northwest Corner Area and the WS-20 Area to define the extent of soil contamination exceeding the CT RSR PMCs and DECs As stated above additional soil sampling in the Eastern Area may be required after reviewing data from groundwater well sampling

The Respondent shall collect soil samples in a grid pattern Soil samples shall continue outwards as defined below in all directions (both laterally and vertically) until samples do not exceed CT RSR PMCs and DECs or until a building foundation is encountered If samples from the final row of the grid areas defined below exceed either CT RSR PMCs or DECs additional soil sampling shall be required unless a building foundation is encountered The Respondent shall submit the proposed grid and locations of soil borings and soil sampling to EPA for review and approval EPA approval shall be required prior to the Respondent implementing soil boring and soil sampling activities

At the Northwest Corner Area the Respondent shall collect samples in a grid The initial round of soil sampling shall include three rows of borings The first row of samples shall start five feet from the outer northern wall of the building The row shall contain five or six sampling locations spaced 30 feet apart the number of sampling locations in each row should be determined based on past data allowing a buffer zone to ensure the lateral edges of the contaminated zone to the east and west are fully defined The row shall begin at approximately the western edge of the building and extend at least 150 feet to the east The row shall be repeated northward every 15 feet subject to obtaining access from abutters (The second row shall be 20 feet from the building wall and the third row shall be 35 feet from the building wall) The borings shall extend to the east and west as necessary to define the lateral extent of exceedances of the CT RSR PMCs and DECs

At the WS-20 Area the Respondent shall advance radial soil borings centered around well WS-20 with radial spokes extending in the four compass directions Samples shall be taken in 10 foot intervals with the first iteration being four borings and the successive iterations being eight borings with iterations spaced 10 feet apart The initial round of soil sampling shall include

Statement of Work for DMC UAO Version FINAL Durham Meadows Superfund Site Date July 26 2007 Durham Connecticut Page 6 of 30

both rings (the inner ring 10 feet removed from WS-20 with four borings and the outer ring 20 feet removed from WS-20 with eight borings)

At each boring location the Respondent shall collect three to four samples The Respondent shall determine sample depths by where higher VOC concentrations may be anticipated at the interface between the fill and the ablation till at the interface between the ablation till and the till at the water table and just above the bedrock surface (EPA Remedial Investigation Figures 34-2 and 34-3 indicate that the fill layer is typically two feet deep the ablation till varies from approximately three to eight feet in depth and till is on the order of 10 foot depth The water table depth is approximately 10 feet and bedrock depth approximately

20 feet) Where the ablation tilltill interface is close to the water table separate samples may not be required and three samples per boring location may be sufficient Observation and field screening of sample cores indicating soil with staining or high levels of VOCs may take precedence in selecting sample collection depth locations as described above

The Respondent may elect to conduct one additional round of Remedial Design sampling to more accurately delineate soil exceeding the CT RSR PMCs and DECs as long as such sampling does not delay the remedial action The Respondent shall propose the additional round of sampling to EPA and CT DEP The Respondent shall not conduct an additional round of sampling without receiving EPA approval

Respondent may also elect to collect concurrent samples during work being performed under this SOW provided such samples are analyzed within the appropriate holding times and otherwise comply with this SOW Any concurrent samples collected during the sampling planned as part of this SOW shall not require EPA approval but Respondent shall provide written notice of such sampling at least three days after such sampling occurs

Any additional or concurrent sampling shall be tighter (ie within an area between a sampling location meeting the CT RSR PMCs and DECs and another sampling location not meeting such soil standards) and no closer than five feet outward from a soil sample location not meeting the CT RSR PMCs or DECs Sampling depths intervals and protocols shall be similar to those required by this SOW The Respondent shall provide the results of all data to EPA and CT DEP

The Respondent shall advance all soil borings using direct-push techniques The Respondent shall visually observe the soil for the presence of DNAPL and perform continuous screening of soil samples and dye testing as necessary as

Statement of Work for DMC UAO Version FINAL Durham Meadows Superfund Site Date July 26 2007 Durham Connecticut Page 7 of 30

described in Section IVB Respondent shall use standard EPA Region I QAQC and data validation procedures as well as CT DEPs Guidance for Collecting and Preserving Soil and Sediment Samples for Laboratory Determination of Volatile Organic Compounds dated February 28 2006 The Respondent shall provide copies of all raw data field notes boring logs detection limits and data validation information to EPA and CT DEP

The Respondent shall analyze each soil sample for VOCs using EPA SW-846 8260

The Respondent shall have the option to perform laboratory analysis of soil samples iteratively so long as all samples are analyzed within the prescribed 14 day holding time and standard EPA Region I QAQC and data validation procedures are met For the WS-20 area the inner ring samples shall be analyzed first results would then determine which samples obtained from the second ring of borings if any need to be analyzed based upon a comparison to the CT RSR PMCs and DECs Similarly for the main manufacturing building area samples obtained from the first row near the building shall be analyzed first Results will dictate which samples from the second row if any should be analyzed based upon a comparison to the CT RSR PMCs and DECs In the same manner results of the second row samples shall determine which samples from the third row of borings if any will need to be analyzed

The Respondent may determine compliance with CT RSR PMCs through SPLP or TCLP analysis

Based on the results of the soil VOC analysis if Respondent so elects the Respondent shall submit a plan for the collection of additional soil samples for laboratory analysis for disposal parameters (TCLP metals pH flashpoint reactive cyanide reactive sulfide [EPA SW-846 methods]) from a subset of the soil borings

V REMEDIAL DESIGN SAMPLING PLAN

As described in this SOW the Respondent shall develop a final Remedial Design Sampling Plan for the remedy for the DMC Study area that meets the Performance Standards specified in Section IV of this SOW Section VA describes the Respondents responsibilities for selecting a contractor Section VB describes the Respondents responsibilities for submitting deliverables during Remedial Design Sampling activities Section VC describes the Respondents responsibilities for conducting Remedial Design Sampling Project Meetings

1E-06 or 1 in 10000 to 1 in a million) In assessing the potential for non-cancer adverse effects a hazard quotient (HQ) is calculated An HQ less than or equal to 1 (1E+00) indicates that toxic noncarcinogenic effects from a given chemical are unlikely

23 The unacceptable levels of cancer risk and non-cancer hazard caused by the actual or threatened release from the Site of the hazardous substances identified in Paragraphs 19 and 21 result in the following increased risks

a The excess lifetime cancer risk estimate for the current and future commercial worker for exposure to contaminants contained in untreated groundwater (by ingestion and dermal contact) from the DMC Study Area supply well (DMC 1) is 2E-04 and the estimated non-cancer risk is a hazard index of 5

b The excess lifetime cancer risk estimate for the future resident that may come to be located at the DMC Study Area and potentially exposed to contaminants contained in indoor air (by inhalation) following untreated vapor migration from overburden groundwater is 8E-03 and the estimated non-cancer risk is a hazard index of 4

c The estimated non-cancer risk for the future construction worker for exposure to contaminants contained in untreated shallow groundwater (by dermal contact) at the DMC Study Area is a hazard index of 30 and

d The excess lifetime cancer risk estimates for current and future residential exposure to contaminants contained in untreated groundwater (by ingestion dermal contact and inhalation) in the Site-wide Groundwater Study Area as household water range from 2E-04 to 3E-02 and the estimated non-cancer risks range from 2 to 900

24 Shallow and deeper groundwater at the DMC Study Area exhibits elevated concentrations of the contaminants described above in Paragraph 19 The levels of untreated groundwater contaminants exceed federal and state drinking water levels The levels of untreated groundwater contaminants also exceed state and federal levels related to the volatilization of contaminants into indoor air Soil at the DMC Study area exceeds direct contact and pollutant mobility criteria established by the States Remediation Standard Regulations The presence of these elevated levels of contaminants if not addressed poses an unacceptable level of risk to human health

25 A zone of groundwater contamination extends off of the DMC Study Area primarily to the south and southwest VOC concentrations in untreated groundwater exceeding federal and state drinking water levels extend off of the DMC Study Area and have impacted residential drinking wells in this area The presence of VOCs poses an unacceptable level of risk to human health namely through residential household water exposure to untreated groundwater

26 A range of health effects is associated with exposure to the primary contaminants

detected at the DMC Study Area and in the Site-wide Groundwater Study Area Benzene and vinyl chloride are known human carcinogens methylene chloride 11 -DCE PCE and TCE are probable or possible human carcinogens The effects of exposure to other contaminants (ethylbenzene 111-TCA and toluene) include eye nose and throat irritation nausea loss of coordination liver and kidney damage central nervous system damage and teratogenic effects

C Selected Remedy

27 The ROD sets forth the selected remedy for the Site which is detailed and described therein

28 This Order requires soil and groundwater sampling to support the remedial design of the excavation and off-site disposal of hot spot areas of soil contamination which is a portion of the remedy for the DMC Study Area Such remedial action will significantly reduce the risk posed to construction workers through direct contact of contaminants in groundwater immediately upon completion of the excavation and will reduce the concentrations of contaminants in groundwater by removing ongoing sources of contamination

29 This Order also requires that a sub-slab depressurization system be installed under the main manufacturing building at the DMC Study Area to mitigate the potential threat of the intrusion of contaminated vapors into the building

D Identification of Respondent

30 Respondent is a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Connecticut with its principal place of business in Durham Connecticut

Additional investigation including additional soil sampling in the Eastern Area may be required after reviewing data from groundwater well sampling

C Soil Sampling

Substantially concurrent with groundwater sampling Respondent shall conduct soil borings and soil sampling on a grid pattern at the Northwest Corner Area and the WS-20 Area to define the extent of soil contamination exceeding the CT RSR PMCs and DECs As stated above additional soil sampling in the Eastern Area may be required after reviewing data from groundwater well sampling

The Respondent shall collect soil samples in a grid pattern Soil samples shall continue outwards as defined below in all directions (both laterally and vertically) until samples do not exceed CT RSR PMCs and DECs or until a building foundation is encountered If samples from the final row of the grid areas defined below exceed either CT RSR PMCs or DECs additional soil sampling shall be required unless a building foundation is encountered The Respondent shall submit the proposed grid and locations of soil borings and soil sampling to EPA for review and approval EPA approval shall be required prior to the Respondent implementing soil boring and soil sampling activities

At the Northwest Corner Area the Respondent shall collect samples in a grid The initial round of soil sampling shall include three rows of borings The first row of samples shall start five feet from the outer northern wall of the building The row shall contain five or six sampling locations spaced 30 feet apart the number of sampling locations in each row should be determined based on past data allowing a buffer zone to ensure the lateral edges of the contaminated zone to the east and west are fully defined The row shall begin at approximately the western edge of the building and extend at least 150 feet to the east The row shall be repeated northward every 15 feet subject to obtaining access from abutters (The second row shall be 20 feet from the building wall and the third row shall be 35 feet from the building wall) The borings shall extend to the east and west as necessary to define the lateral extent of exceedances of the CT RSR PMCs and DECs

At the WS-20 Area the Respondent shall advance radial soil borings centered around well WS-20 with radial spokes extending in the four compass directions Samples shall be taken in 10 foot intervals with the first iteration being four borings and the successive iterations being eight borings with iterations spaced 10 feet apart The initial round of soil sampling shall include

Statement of Work for DMC UAO Version FINAL Durham Meadows Superfund Site Date July 26 2007 Durham Connecticut Page 6 of 30

both rings (the inner ring 10 feet removed from WS-20 with four borings and the outer ring 20 feet removed from WS-20 with eight borings)

At each boring location the Respondent shall collect three to four samples The Respondent shall determine sample depths by where higher VOC concentrations may be anticipated at the interface between the fill and the ablation till at the interface between the ablation till and the till at the water table and just above the bedrock surface (EPA Remedial Investigation Figures 34-2 and 34-3 indicate that the fill layer is typically two feet deep the ablation till varies from approximately three to eight feet in depth and till is on the order of 10 foot depth The water table depth is approximately 10 feet and bedrock depth approximately

20 feet) Where the ablation tilltill interface is close to the water table separate samples may not be required and three samples per boring location may be sufficient Observation and field screening of sample cores indicating soil with staining or high levels of VOCs may take precedence in selecting sample collection depth locations as described above

The Respondent may elect to conduct one additional round of Remedial Design sampling to more accurately delineate soil exceeding the CT RSR PMCs and DECs as long as such sampling does not delay the remedial action The Respondent shall propose the additional round of sampling to EPA and CT DEP The Respondent shall not conduct an additional round of sampling without receiving EPA approval

Respondent may also elect to collect concurrent samples during work being performed under this SOW provided such samples are analyzed within the appropriate holding times and otherwise comply with this SOW Any concurrent samples collected during the sampling planned as part of this SOW shall not require EPA approval but Respondent shall provide written notice of such sampling at least three days after such sampling occurs

Any additional or concurrent sampling shall be tighter (ie within an area between a sampling location meeting the CT RSR PMCs and DECs and another sampling location not meeting such soil standards) and no closer than five feet outward from a soil sample location not meeting the CT RSR PMCs or DECs Sampling depths intervals and protocols shall be similar to those required by this SOW The Respondent shall provide the results of all data to EPA and CT DEP

The Respondent shall advance all soil borings using direct-push techniques The Respondent shall visually observe the soil for the presence of DNAPL and perform continuous screening of soil samples and dye testing as necessary as

Statement of Work for DMC UAO Version FINAL Durham Meadows Superfund Site Date July 26 2007 Durham Connecticut Page 7 of 30

described in Section IVB Respondent shall use standard EPA Region I QAQC and data validation procedures as well as CT DEPs Guidance for Collecting and Preserving Soil and Sediment Samples for Laboratory Determination of Volatile Organic Compounds dated February 28 2006 The Respondent shall provide copies of all raw data field notes boring logs detection limits and data validation information to EPA and CT DEP

The Respondent shall analyze each soil sample for VOCs using EPA SW-846 8260

The Respondent shall have the option to perform laboratory analysis of soil samples iteratively so long as all samples are analyzed within the prescribed 14 day holding time and standard EPA Region I QAQC and data validation procedures are met For the WS-20 area the inner ring samples shall be analyzed first results would then determine which samples obtained from the second ring of borings if any need to be analyzed based upon a comparison to the CT RSR PMCs and DECs Similarly for the main manufacturing building area samples obtained from the first row near the building shall be analyzed first Results will dictate which samples from the second row if any should be analyzed based upon a comparison to the CT RSR PMCs and DECs In the same manner results of the second row samples shall determine which samples from the third row of borings if any will need to be analyzed

The Respondent may determine compliance with CT RSR PMCs through SPLP or TCLP analysis

Based on the results of the soil VOC analysis if Respondent so elects the Respondent shall submit a plan for the collection of additional soil samples for laboratory analysis for disposal parameters (TCLP metals pH flashpoint reactive cyanide reactive sulfide [EPA SW-846 methods]) from a subset of the soil borings

IV PERFORMANCE STANDARDS for REMEDIAL DESIGN SAMPLING

This section defines the Performance Standards for Remedial Design Sampling at the DMC Study Area

The Respondent shall conduct Remedial Design Sampling in order to provide all information required to design construct operate monitor and maintain the remedy at the DMC Study Area in compliance with Section L of the ROD all applicable or relevant and appropriate (ARAR) standards cited in the ROD and all Performance Standards for the components of the DMC Study Area remedy Remedial Design Sampling activities include sampling of groundwater and soil analysis and validation of data and tabulation and evaluation of data The Respondent shall comply with all requirements of the Order and this SOW

The DMC Study Area remedy addresses contamination in overburden (shallow) groundwater at the DMC Study Area through soil excavation as described in the ROD The focus of this remedy is removing the Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and possible Dense Non-Aqueous Phase Liquid (DNAPL) contamination in the overburden soils that are likely acting as continual sources of groundwater contamination These sources are located at the degreasing and former solvent storage area at the Northwest Corner Area the WS-20 Area and potentially in the Eastern Area

The Respondent shall conduct groundwater and soil sampling to determine the extent of groundwater hot spots and the extent of soil contamination acting as a source to ongoing groundwater contamination Groundwater hot spots are considered those areas demonstrating high concentrations of VOCs and the likely presence of DNAPL Initial investigations shall focus around the Northwest Corner Area the WS-20 Area and the Eastern Area

The Respondent shall collect data that supports remedial activities and allows for the design of a soil excavation remedy that (i) removes source areas to the maximum extent practicable (with the goal of meeting Interim Cleanup Levels for groundwater in the DMC Study Area as outlined in Table 42 of the ROD) and (ii) removes any soils exceeding CT RSR PMCs and DECs The Respondent shall conduct groundwater and soil sampling work reasonably concurrently The Respondent shall perform groundwater sampling to determine the extent of groundwater hot spots and provide information required to develop a post-remedial long-term groundwater monitoring plan The Respondent shall perform soil sampling to fully define the vertical and lateral extent of

Statement of Work for DMC UAO Version FINAL Durham Meadows Superfund Site Date July 26 2007 Durham Connecticut Page 3 of 30

soil with VOCs in excess of the CT RSR PMCs and DECs as well as to determine the extent of soil which if removed would be considered RCRA listed waste whether any soil contains RCRA characteristic waste based on TCLP analysis and potentially applicable disposal requirements and limitations such as RCRA land disposal restrictions

A General Requirements

Prior to implementation of any on-site field work the Respondent shall submit to EPA for its approval a field schedule that allows for EPA andor CT DEP oversight and split sampling

The Respondent shall conduct a survey of all sampling locations

The Respondent shall determine whether acquisition of access to neighboring properties is needed and take steps to acquire such access as necessary Initially access to the property located north of DMCs main manufacturing building will be required the Respondent shall make best efforts to obtain access and notify EPA immediately if access is denied

The Respondent shall determine the placement of utilities in areas to be sampled or where monitoring wells will be installed and take the appropriate steps to ensure the safety of the field team and on-site DMC workers The Respondent shall ensure that utilities are not disrupted during field sampling by creating andor updating a utility map prior to the start of any field work

To the extent that the Respondent generates investigation-derived waste the Respondent shall characterize and dispose of such waste in accordance with local State and Federal regulations Prior to any off-site transport of waste facilities selected for off-site disposal must be deemed acceptable by EPA as required pursuant to 40 CFR 300440

The Respondent shall provide copies of all raw data field notes boring logs detection limits data validation information or any other data collected to EPA and CT DEP

B Groundwater Sampling

The Respondent shall inspect all existing overburden groundwater monitoring wells within the DMC Study Area in order to determine whether they are in a condition adequate to perform low-flow groundwater sampling The Respondent

Statement of Work for DMC UAO Version FINAL Durham Meadows Superfund Site Date July 26 2007 Durham Connecticut Page 4 of 30

shall replace any unusable existing groundwater monitoring well with a new well located reasonably close to such unusable existing well The Respondent shall submit their evaluation of the viability of existing wells construction details of any unusable existing wells and the approximate location and construction details of any replacement wells to EPA for review and approval EPA approval shall be required prior to the Respondent sampling any existing or replacement groundwater monitoring wells or installing any replacement wells

In addition to replacing any unusable existing wells five groundwater wells shall be required to investigate the Eastern Area EPA in conjunction with CT DEP shall determine the exact location of the required groundwater wells in the Eastern Area

The Respondent shall conduct all new or replacement well installation in a manner that ensures continuous soil samples can be collected for screening during drilling (such as with direct push technology or a hollow stem auger) and where appropriate sampled During well installation soil shall be visually examined for evidence of DNAPL If DNAPL is visible in soil the Respondent shall conduct dye testing on the affected soil (using Sudan IV or similar dye) The Respondent shall also perform continuous screening of soil samples using a photoionization detector (PID) During screening the soil will be split open and the PID probe placed in the opening and covered with a gloved hand Any specific soil interval that indicates a PIC reading gt100 parts per million total detectible organic vapors will undergo further dye testing (using Sudan IV or similar dye)

Upon EPA approval the Respondent shall conduct groundwater sampling of the usable existing wells the replacement wells and the five new wells in the Eastern Area in a single sampling event

Groundwater sampling shall be conducted using low flow sampling techniques as described in EPA Region I Low Stress (low flow) Purging and Sampling Procedure for the Collection of Ground Water Samples from Monitoring Wells dated July 30 1996 Groundwater samples shall be analyzed for VOCs by EPA method 5242 or SW-846 method 8620 All groundwater sampling results shall be validated pursuant to Attachment A

During groundwater sampling the Respondent shall visually observe for the presence of DNAPL Dye testing (using Sudan IV or similar dye) or screening of the wells with an interface probe shall be performed where DNAPL is visually observed in groundwater (The absence of DNAPL observations or negative test results however does not rule out the presence of DNAPL)

Statement of Work for DMC UAO Version FINAL Durham Meadows Superfund Site Date July 26 2007

Additional investigation including additional soil sampling in the Eastern Area may be required after reviewing data from groundwater well sampling

C Soil Sampling

Substantially concurrent with groundwater sampling Respondent shall conduct soil borings and soil sampling on a grid pattern at the Northwest Corner Area and the WS-20 Area to define the extent of soil contamination exceeding the CT RSR PMCs and DECs As stated above additional soil sampling in the Eastern Area may be required after reviewing data from groundwater well sampling

The Respondent shall collect soil samples in a grid pattern Soil samples shall continue outwards as defined below in all directions (both laterally and vertically) until samples do not exceed CT RSR PMCs and DECs or until a building foundation is encountered If samples from the final row of the grid areas defined below exceed either CT RSR PMCs or DECs additional soil sampling shall be required unless a building foundation is encountered The Respondent shall submit the proposed grid and locations of soil borings and soil sampling to EPA for review and approval EPA approval shall be required prior to the Respondent implementing soil boring and soil sampling activities

At the Northwest Corner Area the Respondent shall collect samples in a grid The initial round of soil sampling shall include three rows of borings The first row of samples shall start five feet from the outer northern wall of the building The row shall contain five or six sampling locations spaced 30 feet apart the number of sampling locations in each row should be determined based on past data allowing a buffer zone to ensure the lateral edges of the contaminated zone to the east and west are fully defined The row shall begin at approximately the western edge of the building and extend at least 150 feet to the east The row shall be repeated northward every 15 feet subject to obtaining access from abutters (The second row shall be 20 feet from the building wall and the third row shall be 35 feet from the building wall) The borings shall extend to the east and west as necessary to define the lateral extent of exceedances of the CT RSR PMCs and DECs

At the WS-20 Area the Respondent shall advance radial soil borings centered around well WS-20 with radial spokes extending in the four compass directions Samples shall be taken in 10 foot intervals with the first iteration being four borings and the successive iterations being eight borings with iterations spaced 10 feet apart The initial round of soil sampling shall include

Statement of Work for DMC UAO Version FINAL Durham Meadows Superfund Site Date July 26 2007 Durham Connecticut Page 6 of 30

both rings (the inner ring 10 feet removed from WS-20 with four borings and the outer ring 20 feet removed from WS-20 with eight borings)

At each boring location the Respondent shall collect three to four samples The Respondent shall determine sample depths by where higher VOC concentrations may be anticipated at the interface between the fill and the ablation till at the interface between the ablation till and the till at the water table and just above the bedrock surface (EPA Remedial Investigation Figures 34-2 and 34-3 indicate that the fill layer is typically two feet deep the ablation till varies from approximately three to eight feet in depth and till is on the order of 10 foot depth The water table depth is approximately 10 feet and bedrock depth approximately

20 feet) Where the ablation tilltill interface is close to the water table separate samples may not be required and three samples per boring location may be sufficient Observation and field screening of sample cores indicating soil with staining or high levels of VOCs may take precedence in selecting sample collection depth locations as described above

The Respondent may elect to conduct one additional round of Remedial Design sampling to more accurately delineate soil exceeding the CT RSR PMCs and DECs as long as such sampling does not delay the remedial action The Respondent shall propose the additional round of sampling to EPA and CT DEP The Respondent shall not conduct an additional round of sampling without receiving EPA approval

Respondent may also elect to collect concurrent samples during work being performed under this SOW provided such samples are analyzed within the appropriate holding times and otherwise comply with this SOW Any concurrent samples collected during the sampling planned as part of this SOW shall not require EPA approval but Respondent shall provide written notice of such sampling at least three days after such sampling occurs

Any additional or concurrent sampling shall be tighter (ie within an area between a sampling location meeting the CT RSR PMCs and DECs and another sampling location not meeting such soil standards) and no closer than five feet outward from a soil sample location not meeting the CT RSR PMCs or DECs Sampling depths intervals and protocols shall be similar to those required by this SOW The Respondent shall provide the results of all data to EPA and CT DEP

The Respondent shall advance all soil borings using direct-push techniques The Respondent shall visually observe the soil for the presence of DNAPL and perform continuous screening of soil samples and dye testing as necessary as

Statement of Work for DMC UAO Version FINAL Durham Meadows Superfund Site Date July 26 2007 Durham Connecticut Page 7 of 30

described in Section IVB Respondent shall use standard EPA Region I QAQC and data validation procedures as well as CT DEPs Guidance for Collecting and Preserving Soil and Sediment Samples for Laboratory Determination of Volatile Organic Compounds dated February 28 2006 The Respondent shall provide copies of all raw data field notes boring logs detection limits and data validation information to EPA and CT DEP

The Respondent shall analyze each soil sample for VOCs using EPA SW-846 8260

The Respondent shall have the option to perform laboratory analysis of soil samples iteratively so long as all samples are analyzed within the prescribed 14 day holding time and standard EPA Region I QAQC and data validation procedures are met For the WS-20 area the inner ring samples shall be analyzed first results would then determine which samples obtained from the second ring of borings if any need to be analyzed based upon a comparison to the CT RSR PMCs and DECs Similarly for the main manufacturing building area samples obtained from the first row near the building shall be analyzed first Results will dictate which samples from the second row if any should be analyzed based upon a comparison to the CT RSR PMCs and DECs In the same manner results of the second row samples shall determine which samples from the third row of borings if any will need to be analyzed

The Respondent may determine compliance with CT RSR PMCs through SPLP or TCLP analysis

Based on the results of the soil VOC analysis if Respondent so elects the Respondent shall submit a plan for the collection of additional soil samples for laboratory analysis for disposal parameters (TCLP metals pH flashpoint reactive cyanide reactive sulfide [EPA SW-846 methods]) from a subset of the soil borings

IV PERFORMANCE STANDARDS for REMEDIAL DESIGN SAMPLING

This section defines the Performance Standards for Remedial Design Sampling at the DMC Study Area

The Respondent shall conduct Remedial Design Sampling in order to provide all information required to design construct operate monitor and maintain the remedy at the DMC Study Area in compliance with Section L of the ROD all applicable or relevant and appropriate (ARAR) standards cited in the ROD and all Performance Standards for the components of the DMC Study Area remedy Remedial Design Sampling activities include sampling of groundwater and soil analysis and validation of data and tabulation and evaluation of data The Respondent shall comply with all requirements of the Order and this SOW

The DMC Study Area remedy addresses contamination in overburden (shallow) groundwater at the DMC Study Area through soil excavation as described in the ROD The focus of this remedy is removing the Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and possible Dense Non-Aqueous Phase Liquid (DNAPL) contamination in the overburden soils that are likely acting as continual sources of groundwater contamination These sources are located at the degreasing and former solvent storage area at the Northwest Corner Area the WS-20 Area and potentially in the Eastern Area

The Respondent shall conduct groundwater and soil sampling to determine the extent of groundwater hot spots and the extent of soil contamination acting as a source to ongoing groundwater contamination Groundwater hot spots are considered those areas demonstrating high concentrations of VOCs and the likely presence of DNAPL Initial investigations shall focus around the Northwest Corner Area the WS-20 Area and the Eastern Area

The Respondent shall collect data that supports remedial activities and allows for the design of a soil excavation remedy that (i) removes source areas to the maximum extent practicable (with the goal of meeting Interim Cleanup Levels for groundwater in the DMC Study Area as outlined in Table 42 of the ROD) and (ii) removes any soils exceeding CT RSR PMCs and DECs The Respondent shall conduct groundwater and soil sampling work reasonably concurrently The Respondent shall perform groundwater sampling to determine the extent of groundwater hot spots and provide information required to develop a post-remedial long-term groundwater monitoring plan The Respondent shall perform soil sampling to fully define the vertical and lateral extent of

Statement of Work for DMC UAO Version FINAL Durham Meadows Superfund Site Date July 26 2007 Durham Connecticut Page 3 of 30

soil with VOCs in excess of the CT RSR PMCs and DECs as well as to determine the extent of soil which if removed would be considered RCRA listed waste whether any soil contains RCRA characteristic waste based on TCLP analysis and potentially applicable disposal requirements and limitations such as RCRA land disposal restrictions

A General Requirements

Prior to implementation of any on-site field work the Respondent shall submit to EPA for its approval a field schedule that allows for EPA andor CT DEP oversight and split sampling

The Respondent shall conduct a survey of all sampling locations

The Respondent shall determine whether acquisition of access to neighboring properties is needed and take steps to acquire such access as necessary Initially access to the property located north of DMCs main manufacturing building will be required the Respondent shall make best efforts to obtain access and notify EPA immediately if access is denied

The Respondent shall determine the placement of utilities in areas to be sampled or where monitoring wells will be installed and take the appropriate steps to ensure the safety of the field team and on-site DMC workers The Respondent shall ensure that utilities are not disrupted during field sampling by creating andor updating a utility map prior to the start of any field work

To the extent that the Respondent generates investigation-derived waste the Respondent shall characterize and dispose of such waste in accordance with local State and Federal regulations Prior to any off-site transport of waste facilities selected for off-site disposal must be deemed acceptable by EPA as required pursuant to 40 CFR 300440

The Respondent shall provide copies of all raw data field notes boring logs detection limits data validation information or any other data collected to EPA and CT DEP

B Groundwater Sampling

The Respondent shall inspect all existing overburden groundwater monitoring wells within the DMC Study Area in order to determine whether they are in a condition adequate to perform low-flow groundwater sampling The Respondent

Statement of Work for DMC UAO Version FINAL Durham Meadows Superfund Site Date July 26 2007 Durham Connecticut Page 4 of 30

shall replace any unusable existing groundwater monitoring well with a new well located reasonably close to such unusable existing well The Respondent shall submit their evaluation of the viability of existing wells construction details of any unusable existing wells and the approximate location and construction details of any replacement wells to EPA for review and approval EPA approval shall be required prior to the Respondent sampling any existing or replacement groundwater monitoring wells or installing any replacement wells

In addition to replacing any unusable existing wells five groundwater wells shall be required to investigate the Eastern Area EPA in conjunction with CT DEP shall determine the exact location of the required groundwater wells in the Eastern Area

The Respondent shall conduct all new or replacement well installation in a manner that ensures continuous soil samples can be collected for screening during drilling (such as with direct push technology or a hollow stem auger) and where appropriate sampled During well installation soil shall be visually examined for evidence of DNAPL If DNAPL is visible in soil the Respondent shall conduct dye testing on the affected soil (using Sudan IV or similar dye) The Respondent shall also perform continuous screening of soil samples using a photoionization detector (PID) During screening the soil will be split open and the PID probe placed in the opening and covered with a gloved hand Any specific soil interval that indicates a PIC reading gt100 parts per million total detectible organic vapors will undergo further dye testing (using Sudan IV or similar dye)

Upon EPA approval the Respondent shall conduct groundwater sampling of the usable existing wells the replacement wells and the five new wells in the Eastern Area in a single sampling event

Groundwater sampling shall be conducted using low flow sampling techniques as described in EPA Region I Low Stress (low flow) Purging and Sampling Procedure for the Collection of Ground Water Samples from Monitoring Wells dated July 30 1996 Groundwater samples shall be analyzed for VOCs by EPA method 5242 or SW-846 method 8620 All groundwater sampling results shall be validated pursuant to Attachment A

During groundwater sampling the Respondent shall visually observe for the presence of DNAPL Dye testing (using Sudan IV or similar dye) or screening of the wells with an interface probe shall be performed where DNAPL is visually observed in groundwater (The absence of DNAPL observations or negative test results however does not rule out the presence of DNAPL)

Statement of Work for DMC UAO Version FINAL Durham Meadows Superfund Site Date July 26 2007

Additional investigation including additional soil sampling in the Eastern Area may be required after reviewing data from groundwater well sampling

C Soil Sampling

Substantially concurrent with groundwater sampling Respondent shall conduct soil borings and soil sampling on a grid pattern at the Northwest Corner Area and the WS-20 Area to define the extent of soil contamination exceeding the CT RSR PMCs and DECs As stated above additional soil sampling in the Eastern Area may be required after reviewing data from groundwater well sampling

The Respondent shall collect soil samples in a grid pattern Soil samples shall continue outwards as defined below in all directions (both laterally and vertically) until samples do not exceed CT RSR PMCs and DECs or until a building foundation is encountered If samples from the final row of the grid areas defined below exceed either CT RSR PMCs or DECs additional soil sampling shall be required unless a building foundation is encountered The Respondent shall submit the proposed grid and locations of soil borings and soil sampling to EPA for review and approval EPA approval shall be required prior to the Respondent implementing soil boring and soil sampling activities

At the Northwest Corner Area the Respondent shall collect samples in a grid The initial round of soil sampling shall include three rows of borings The first row of samples shall start five feet from the outer northern wall of the building The row shall contain five or six sampling locations spaced 30 feet apart the number of sampling locations in each row should be determined based on past data allowing a buffer zone to ensure the lateral edges of the contaminated zone to the east and west are fully defined The row shall begin at approximately the western edge of the building and extend at least 150 feet to the east The row shall be repeated northward every 15 feet subject to obtaining access from abutters (The second row shall be 20 feet from the building wall and the third row shall be 35 feet from the building wall) The borings shall extend to the east and west as necessary to define the lateral extent of exceedances of the CT RSR PMCs and DECs

At the WS-20 Area the Respondent shall advance radial soil borings centered around well WS-20 with radial spokes extending in the four compass directions Samples shall be taken in 10 foot intervals with the first iteration being four borings and the successive iterations being eight borings with iterations spaced 10 feet apart The initial round of soil sampling shall include

Statement of Work for DMC UAO Version FINAL Durham Meadows Superfund Site Date July 26 2007 Durham Connecticut Page 6 of 30

both rings (the inner ring 10 feet removed from WS-20 with four borings and the outer ring 20 feet removed from WS-20 with eight borings)

At each boring location the Respondent shall collect three to four samples The Respondent shall determine sample depths by where higher VOC concentrations may be anticipated at the interface between the fill and the ablation till at the interface between the ablation till and the till at the water table and just above the bedrock surface (EPA Remedial Investigation Figures 34-2 and 34-3 indicate that the fill layer is typically two feet deep the ablation till varies from approximately three to eight feet in depth and till is on the order of 10 foot depth The water table depth is approximately 10 feet and bedrock depth approximately

20 feet) Where the ablation tilltill interface is close to the water table separate samples may not be required and three samples per boring location may be sufficient Observation and field screening of sample cores indicating soil with staining or high levels of VOCs may take precedence in selecting sample collection depth locations as described above

The Respondent may elect to conduct one additional round of Remedial Design sampling to more accurately delineate soil exceeding the CT RSR PMCs and DECs as long as such sampling does not delay the remedial action The Respondent shall propose the additional round of sampling to EPA and CT DEP The Respondent shall not conduct an additional round of sampling without receiving EPA approval

Respondent may also elect to collect concurrent samples during work being performed under this SOW provided such samples are analyzed within the appropriate holding times and otherwise comply with this SOW Any concurrent samples collected during the sampling planned as part of this SOW shall not require EPA approval but Respondent shall provide written notice of such sampling at least three days after such sampling occurs

Any additional or concurrent sampling shall be tighter (ie within an area between a sampling location meeting the CT RSR PMCs and DECs and another sampling location not meeting such soil standards) and no closer than five feet outward from a soil sample location not meeting the CT RSR PMCs or DECs Sampling depths intervals and protocols shall be similar to those required by this SOW The Respondent shall provide the results of all data to EPA and CT DEP

The Respondent shall advance all soil borings using direct-push techniques The Respondent shall visually observe the soil for the presence of DNAPL and perform continuous screening of soil samples and dye testing as necessary as

Statement of Work for DMC UAO Version FINAL Durham Meadows Superfund Site Date July 26 2007 Durham Connecticut Page 7 of 30

described in Section IVB Respondent shall use standard EPA Region I QAQC and data validation procedures as well as CT DEPs Guidance for Collecting and Preserving Soil and Sediment Samples for Laboratory Determination of Volatile Organic Compounds dated February 28 2006 The Respondent shall provide copies of all raw data field notes boring logs detection limits and data validation information to EPA and CT DEP

The Respondent shall analyze each soil sample for VOCs using EPA SW-846 8260

The Respondent shall have the option to perform laboratory analysis of soil samples iteratively so long as all samples are analyzed within the prescribed 14 day holding time and standard EPA Region I QAQC and data validation procedures are met For the WS-20 area the inner ring samples shall be analyzed first results would then determine which samples obtained from the second ring of borings if any need to be analyzed based upon a comparison to the CT RSR PMCs and DECs Similarly for the main manufacturing building area samples obtained from the first row near the building shall be analyzed first Results will dictate which samples from the second row if any should be analyzed based upon a comparison to the CT RSR PMCs and DECs In the same manner results of the second row samples shall determine which samples from the third row of borings if any will need to be analyzed

The Respondent may determine compliance with CT RSR PMCs through SPLP or TCLP analysis

Based on the results of the soil VOC analysis if Respondent so elects the Respondent shall submit a plan for the collection of additional soil samples for laboratory analysis for disposal parameters (TCLP metals pH flashpoint reactive cyanide reactive sulfide [EPA SW-846 methods]) from a subset of the soil borings

III SELECTED REMEDY

The ROD describes the remedy for the Site For the DMC Study Area specifically the ROD provides for soil excavation and off-site disposal of hot spot areas in order to address risks to human health from contamination in overburden (shallow) groundwater and to address source contamination Institutional controls primarily in the form of Environmental Land Use Restrictions (ELURs) as defined in the CT Remediation Standard Regulations (RSRs) andor by local ordinance will also be required to prevent unrestricted future use or use of contaminated groundwater EPA has selected other remedies for other portions of the Site

Components of the remedy to be performed by the Respondent pursuant to the Order and this SOW include Remedial Design Sampling of soil and groundwater at the DMC Study Area to more fully define the lateral and vertical extent of soil contamination and the installation of a sub-slab system to depressurize the area under the entire foundation of the main manufacturing building at the DMC Study Area

Sections IV and V discuss the Performance Standards and Sampling Plan for Remedial Design Sampling activities at the DMC Study Area Sections VI and VII discuss the Performance Standards and Plans to address activities related to the installation of a sub-

IV PERFORMANCE STANDARDS for REMEDIAL DESIGN SAMPLING

This section defines the Performance Standards for Remedial Design Sampling at the DMC Study Area

The Respondent shall conduct Remedial Design Sampling in order to provide all information required to design construct operate monitor and maintain the remedy at the DMC Study Area in compliance with Section L of the ROD all applicable or relevant and appropriate (ARAR) standards cited in the ROD and all Performance Standards for the components of the DMC Study Area remedy Remedial Design Sampling activities include sampling of groundwater and soil analysis and validation of data and tabulation and evaluation of data The Respondent shall comply with all requirements of the Order and this SOW

The DMC Study Area remedy addresses contamination in overburden (shallow) groundwater at the DMC Study Area through soil excavation as described in the ROD The focus of this remedy is removing the Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and possible Dense Non-Aqueous Phase Liquid (DNAPL) contamination in the overburden soils that are likely acting as continual sources of groundwater contamination These sources are located at the degreasing and former solvent storage area at the Northwest Corner Area the WS-20 Area and potentially in the Eastern Area

The Respondent shall conduct groundwater and soil sampling to determine the extent of groundwater hot spots and the extent of soil contamination acting as a source to ongoing groundwater contamination Groundwater hot spots are considered those areas demonstrating high concentrations of VOCs and the likely presence of DNAPL Initial investigations shall focus around the Northwest Corner Area the WS-20 Area and the Eastern Area

The Respondent shall collect data that supports remedial activities and allows for the design of a soil excavation remedy that (i) removes source areas to the maximum extent practicable (with the goal of meeting Interim Cleanup Levels for groundwater in the DMC Study Area as outlined in Table 42 of the ROD) and (ii) removes any soils exceeding CT RSR PMCs and DECs The Respondent shall conduct groundwater and soil sampling work reasonably concurrently The Respondent shall perform groundwater sampling to determine the extent of groundwater hot spots and provide information required to develop a post-remedial long-term groundwater monitoring plan The Respondent shall perform soil sampling to fully define the vertical and lateral extent of

Statement of Work for DMC UAO Version FINAL Durham Meadows Superfund Site Date July 26 2007 Durham Connecticut Page 3 of 30

soil with VOCs in excess of the CT RSR PMCs and DECs as well as to determine the extent of soil which if removed would be considered RCRA listed waste whether any soil contains RCRA characteristic waste based on TCLP analysis and potentially applicable disposal requirements and limitations such as RCRA land disposal restrictions

A General Requirements

Prior to implementation of any on-site field work the Respondent shall submit to EPA for its approval a field schedule that allows for EPA andor CT DEP oversight and split sampling

The Respondent shall conduct a survey of all sampling locations

The Respondent shall determine whether acquisition of access to neighboring properties is needed and take steps to acquire such access as necessary Initially access to the property located north of DMCs main manufacturing building will be required the Respondent shall make best efforts to obtain access and notify EPA immediately if access is denied

The Respondent shall determine the placement of utilities in areas to be sampled or where monitoring wells will be installed and take the appropriate steps to ensure the safety of the field team and on-site DMC workers The Respondent shall ensure that utilities are not disrupted during field sampling by creating andor updating a utility map prior to the start of any field work

To the extent that the Respondent generates investigation-derived waste the Respondent shall characterize and dispose of such waste in accordance with local State and Federal regulations Prior to any off-site transport of waste facilities selected for off-site disposal must be deemed acceptable by EPA as required pursuant to 40 CFR 300440

The Respondent shall provide copies of all raw data field notes boring logs detection limits data validation information or any other data collected to EPA and CT DEP

B Groundwater Sampling

The Respondent shall inspect all existing overburden groundwater monitoring wells within the DMC Study Area in order to determine whether they are in a condition adequate to perform low-flow groundwater sampling The Respondent

Statement of Work for DMC UAO Version FINAL Durham Meadows Superfund Site Date July 26 2007 Durham Connecticut Page 4 of 30

shall replace any unusable existing groundwater monitoring well with a new well located reasonably close to such unusable existing well The Respondent shall submit their evaluation of the viability of existing wells construction details of any unusable existing wells and the approximate location and construction details of any replacement wells to EPA for review and approval EPA approval shall be required prior to the Respondent sampling any existing or replacement groundwater monitoring wells or installing any replacement wells

In addition to replacing any unusable existing wells five groundwater wells shall be required to investigate the Eastern Area EPA in conjunction with CT DEP shall determine the exact location of the required groundwater wells in the Eastern Area

The Respondent shall conduct all new or replacement well installation in a manner that ensures continuous soil samples can be collected for screening during drilling (such as with direct push technology or a hollow stem auger) and where appropriate sampled During well installation soil shall be visually examined for evidence of DNAPL If DNAPL is visible in soil the Respondent shall conduct dye testing on the affected soil (using Sudan IV or similar dye) The Respondent shall also perform continuous screening of soil samples using a photoionization detector (PID) During screening the soil will be split open and the PID probe placed in the opening and covered with a gloved hand Any specific soil interval that indicates a PIC reading gt100 parts per million total detectible organic vapors will undergo further dye testing (using Sudan IV or similar dye)

Upon EPA approval the Respondent shall conduct groundwater sampling of the usable existing wells the replacement wells and the five new wells in the Eastern Area in a single sampling event

Groundwater sampling shall be conducted using low flow sampling techniques as described in EPA Region I Low Stress (low flow) Purging and Sampling Procedure for the Collection of Ground Water Samples from Monitoring Wells dated July 30 1996 Groundwater samples shall be analyzed for VOCs by EPA method 5242 or SW-846 method 8620 All groundwater sampling results shall be validated pursuant to Attachment A

During groundwater sampling the Respondent shall visually observe for the presence of DNAPL Dye testing (using Sudan IV or similar dye) or screening of the wells with an interface probe shall be performed where DNAPL is visually observed in groundwater (The absence of DNAPL observations or negative test results however does not rule out the presence of DNAPL)

Statement of Work for DMC UAO Version FINAL Durham Meadows Superfund Site Date July 26 2007

Additional investigation including additional soil sampling in the Eastern Area may be required after reviewing data from groundwater well sampling

C Soil Sampling

Substantially concurrent with groundwater sampling Respondent shall conduct soil borings and soil sampling on a grid pattern at the Northwest Corner Area and the WS-20 Area to define the extent of soil contamination exceeding the CT RSR PMCs and DECs As stated above additional soil sampling in the Eastern Area may be required after reviewing data from groundwater well sampling

The Respondent shall collect soil samples in a grid pattern Soil samples shall continue outwards as defined below in all directions (both laterally and vertically) until samples do not exceed CT RSR PMCs and DECs or until a building foundation is encountered If samples from the final row of the grid areas defined below exceed either CT RSR PMCs or DECs additional soil sampling shall be required unless a building foundation is encountered The Respondent shall submit the proposed grid and locations of soil borings and soil sampling to EPA for review and approval EPA approval shall be required prior to the Respondent implementing soil boring and soil sampling activities

At the Northwest Corner Area the Respondent shall collect samples in a grid The initial round of soil sampling shall include three rows of borings The first row of samples shall start five feet from the outer northern wall of the building The row shall contain five or six sampling locations spaced 30 feet apart the number of sampling locations in each row should be determined based on past data allowing a buffer zone to ensure the lateral edges of the contaminated zone to the east and west are fully defined The row shall begin at approximately the western edge of the building and extend at least 150 feet to the east The row shall be repeated northward every 15 feet subject to obtaining access from abutters (The second row shall be 20 feet from the building wall and the third row shall be 35 feet from the building wall) The borings shall extend to the east and west as necessary to define the lateral extent of exceedances of the CT RSR PMCs and DECs

At the WS-20 Area the Respondent shall advance radial soil borings centered around well WS-20 with radial spokes extending in the four compass directions Samples shall be taken in 10 foot intervals with the first iteration being four borings and the successive iterations being eight borings with iterations spaced 10 feet apart The initial round of soil sampling shall include

Statement of Work for DMC UAO Version FINAL Durham Meadows Superfund Site Date July 26 2007 Durham Connecticut Page 6 of 30

both rings (the inner ring 10 feet removed from WS-20 with four borings and the outer ring 20 feet removed from WS-20 with eight borings)

At each boring location the Respondent shall collect three to four samples The Respondent shall determine sample depths by where higher VOC concentrations may be anticipated at the interface between the fill and the ablation till at the interface between the ablation till and the till at the water table and just above the bedrock surface (EPA Remedial Investigation Figures 34-2 and 34-3 indicate that the fill layer is typically two feet deep the ablation till varies from approximately three to eight feet in depth and till is on the order of 10 foot depth The water table depth is approximately 10 feet and bedrock depth approximately

20 feet) Where the ablation tilltill interface is close to the water table separate samples may not be required and three samples per boring location may be sufficient Observation and field screening of sample cores indicating soil with staining or high levels of VOCs may take precedence in selecting sample collection depth locations as described above

The Respondent may elect to conduct one additional round of Remedial Design sampling to more accurately delineate soil exceeding the CT RSR PMCs and DECs as long as such sampling does not delay the remedial action The Respondent shall propose the additional round of sampling to EPA and CT DEP The Respondent shall not conduct an additional round of sampling without receiving EPA approval

Respondent may also elect to collect concurrent samples during work being performed under this SOW provided such samples are analyzed within the appropriate holding times and otherwise comply with this SOW Any concurrent samples collected during the sampling planned as part of this SOW shall not require EPA approval but Respondent shall provide written notice of such sampling at least three days after such sampling occurs

Any additional or concurrent sampling shall be tighter (ie within an area between a sampling location meeting the CT RSR PMCs and DECs and another sampling location not meeting such soil standards) and no closer than five feet outward from a soil sample location not meeting the CT RSR PMCs or DECs Sampling depths intervals and protocols shall be similar to those required by this SOW The Respondent shall provide the results of all data to EPA and CT DEP

The Respondent shall advance all soil borings using direct-push techniques The Respondent shall visually observe the soil for the presence of DNAPL and perform continuous screening of soil samples and dye testing as necessary as

Statement of Work for DMC UAO Version FINAL Durham Meadows Superfund Site Date July 26 2007 Durham Connecticut Page 7 of 30

described in Section IVB Respondent shall use standard EPA Region I QAQC and data validation procedures as well as CT DEPs Guidance for Collecting and Preserving Soil and Sediment Samples for Laboratory Determination of Volatile Organic Compounds dated February 28 2006 The Respondent shall provide copies of all raw data field notes boring logs detection limits and data validation information to EPA and CT DEP

The Respondent shall analyze each soil sample for VOCs using EPA SW-846 8260

The Respondent shall have the option to perform laboratory analysis of soil samples iteratively so long as all samples are analyzed within the prescribed 14 day holding time and standard EPA Region I QAQC and data validation procedures are met For the WS-20 area the inner ring samples shall be analyzed first results would then determine which samples obtained from the second ring of borings if any need to be analyzed based upon a comparison to the CT RSR PMCs and DECs Similarly for the main manufacturing building area samples obtained from the first row near the building shall be analyzed first Results will dictate which samples from the second row if any should be analyzed based upon a comparison to the CT RSR PMCs and DECs In the same manner results of the second row samples shall determine which samples from the third row of borings if any will need to be analyzed

The Respondent may determine compliance with CT RSR PMCs through SPLP or TCLP analysis

Based on the results of the soil VOC analysis if Respondent so elects the Respondent shall submit a plan for the collection of additional soil samples for laboratory analysis for disposal parameters (TCLP metals pH flashpoint reactive cyanide reactive sulfide [EPA SW-846 methods]) from a subset of the soil borings

III SELECTED REMEDY

The ROD describes the remedy for the Site For the DMC Study Area specifically the ROD provides for soil excavation and off-site disposal of hot spot areas in order to address risks to human health from contamination in overburden (shallow) groundwater and to address source contamination Institutional controls primarily in the form of Environmental Land Use Restrictions (ELURs) as defined in the CT Remediation Standard Regulations (RSRs) andor by local ordinance will also be required to prevent unrestricted future use or use of contaminated groundwater EPA has selected other remedies for other portions of the Site

Components of the remedy to be performed by the Respondent pursuant to the Order and this SOW include Remedial Design Sampling of soil and groundwater at the DMC Study Area to more fully define the lateral and vertical extent of soil contamination and the installation of a sub-slab system to depressurize the area under the entire foundation of the main manufacturing building at the DMC Study Area

Sections IV and V discuss the Performance Standards and Sampling Plan for Remedial Design Sampling activities at the DMC Study Area Sections VI and VII discuss the Performance Standards and Plans to address activities related to the installation of a sub-

IV PERFORMANCE STANDARDS for REMEDIAL DESIGN SAMPLING

This section defines the Performance Standards for Remedial Design Sampling at the DMC Study Area

The Respondent shall conduct Remedial Design Sampling in order to provide all information required to design construct operate monitor and maintain the remedy at the DMC Study Area in compliance with Section L of the ROD all applicable or relevant and appropriate (ARAR) standards cited in the ROD and all Performance Standards for the components of the DMC Study Area remedy Remedial Design Sampling activities include sampling of groundwater and soil analysis and validation of data and tabulation and evaluation of data The Respondent shall comply with all requirements of the Order and this SOW

The DMC Study Area remedy addresses contamination in overburden (shallow) groundwater at the DMC Study Area through soil excavation as described in the ROD The focus of this remedy is removing the Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and possible Dense Non-Aqueous Phase Liquid (DNAPL) contamination in the overburden soils that are likely acting as continual sources of groundwater contamination These sources are located at the degreasing and former solvent storage area at the Northwest Corner Area the WS-20 Area and potentially in the Eastern Area

The Respondent shall conduct groundwater and soil sampling to determine the extent of groundwater hot spots and the extent of soil contamination acting as a source to ongoing groundwater contamination Groundwater hot spots are considered those areas demonstrating high concentrations of VOCs and the likely presence of DNAPL Initial investigations shall focus around the Northwest Corner Area the WS-20 Area and the Eastern Area

The Respondent shall collect data that supports remedial activities and allows for the design of a soil excavation remedy that (i) removes source areas to the maximum extent practicable (with the goal of meeting Interim Cleanup Levels for groundwater in the DMC Study Area as outlined in Table 42 of the ROD) and (ii) removes any soils exceeding CT RSR PMCs and DECs The Respondent shall conduct groundwater and soil sampling work reasonably concurrently The Respondent shall perform groundwater sampling to determine the extent of groundwater hot spots and provide information required to develop a post-remedial long-term groundwater monitoring plan The Respondent shall perform soil sampling to fully define the vertical and lateral extent of

Statement of Work for DMC UAO Version FINAL Durham Meadows Superfund Site Date July 26 2007 Durham Connecticut Page 3 of 30

soil with VOCs in excess of the CT RSR PMCs and DECs as well as to determine the extent of soil which if removed would be considered RCRA listed waste whether any soil contains RCRA characteristic waste based on TCLP analysis and potentially applicable disposal requirements and limitations such as RCRA land disposal restrictions

A General Requirements

Prior to implementation of any on-site field work the Respondent shall submit to EPA for its approval a field schedule that allows for EPA andor CT DEP oversight and split sampling

The Respondent shall conduct a survey of all sampling locations

The Respondent shall determine whether acquisition of access to neighboring properties is needed and take steps to acquire such access as necessary Initially access to the property located north of DMCs main manufacturing building will be required the Respondent shall make best efforts to obtain access and notify EPA immediately if access is denied

The Respondent shall determine the placement of utilities in areas to be sampled or where monitoring wells will be installed and take the appropriate steps to ensure the safety of the field team and on-site DMC workers The Respondent shall ensure that utilities are not disrupted during field sampling by creating andor updating a utility map prior to the start of any field work

To the extent that the Respondent generates investigation-derived waste the Respondent shall characterize and dispose of such waste in accordance with local State and Federal regulations Prior to any off-site transport of waste facilities selected for off-site disposal must be deemed acceptable by EPA as required pursuant to 40 CFR 300440

The Respondent shall provide copies of all raw data field notes boring logs detection limits data validation information or any other data collected to EPA and CT DEP

B Groundwater Sampling

The Respondent shall inspect all existing overburden groundwater monitoring wells within the DMC Study Area in order to determine whether they are in a condition adequate to perform low-flow groundwater sampling The Respondent

Statement of Work for DMC UAO Version FINAL Durham Meadows Superfund Site Date July 26 2007 Durham Connecticut Page 4 of 30

shall replace any unusable existing groundwater monitoring well with a new well located reasonably close to such unusable existing well The Respondent shall submit their evaluation of the viability of existing wells construction details of any unusable existing wells and the approximate location and construction details of any replacement wells to EPA for review and approval EPA approval shall be required prior to the Respondent sampling any existing or replacement groundwater monitoring wells or installing any replacement wells

In addition to replacing any unusable existing wells five groundwater wells shall be required to investigate the Eastern Area EPA in conjunction with CT DEP shall determine the exact location of the required groundwater wells in the Eastern Area

The Respondent shall conduct all new or replacement well installation in a manner that ensures continuous soil samples can be collected for screening during drilling (such as with direct push technology or a hollow stem auger) and where appropriate sampled During well installation soil shall be visually examined for evidence of DNAPL If DNAPL is visible in soil the Respondent shall conduct dye testing on the affected soil (using Sudan IV or similar dye) The Respondent shall also perform continuous screening of soil samples using a photoionization detector (PID) During screening the soil will be split open and the PID probe placed in the opening and covered with a gloved hand Any specific soil interval that indicates a PIC reading gt100 parts per million total detectible organic vapors will undergo further dye testing (using Sudan IV or similar dye)

Upon EPA approval the Respondent shall conduct groundwater sampling of the usable existing wells the replacement wells and the five new wells in the Eastern Area in a single sampling event

Groundwater sampling shall be conducted using low flow sampling techniques as described in EPA Region I Low Stress (low flow) Purging and Sampling Procedure for the Collection of Ground Water Samples from Monitoring Wells dated July 30 1996 Groundwater samples shall be analyzed for VOCs by EPA method 5242 or SW-846 method 8620 All groundwater sampling results shall be validated pursuant to Attachment A

During groundwater sampling the Respondent shall visually observe for the presence of DNAPL Dye testing (using Sudan IV or similar dye) or screening of the wells with an interface probe shall be performed where DNAPL is visually observed in groundwater (The absence of DNAPL observations or negative test results however does not rule out the presence of DNAPL)

Statement of Work for DMC UAO Version FINAL Durham Meadows Superfund Site Date July 26 2007

Additional investigation including additional soil sampling in the Eastern Area may be required after reviewing data from groundwater well sampling

C Soil Sampling

Substantially concurrent with groundwater sampling Respondent shall conduct soil borings and soil sampling on a grid pattern at the Northwest Corner Area and the WS-20 Area to define the extent of soil contamination exceeding the CT RSR PMCs and DECs As stated above additional soil sampling in the Eastern Area may be required after reviewing data from groundwater well sampling

The Respondent shall collect soil samples in a grid pattern Soil samples shall continue outwards as defined below in all directions (both laterally and vertically) until samples do not exceed CT RSR PMCs and DECs or until a building foundation is encountered If samples from the final row of the grid areas defined below exceed either CT RSR PMCs or DECs additional soil sampling shall be required unless a building foundation is encountered The Respondent shall submit the proposed grid and locations of soil borings and soil sampling to EPA for review and approval EPA approval shall be required prior to the Respondent implementing soil boring and soil sampling activities

At the Northwest Corner Area the Respondent shall collect samples in a grid The initial round of soil sampling shall include three rows of borings The first row of samples shall start five feet from the outer northern wall of the building The row shall contain five or six sampling locations spaced 30 feet apart the number of sampling locations in each row should be determined based on past data allowing a buffer zone to ensure the lateral edges of the contaminated zone to the east and west are fully defined The row shall begin at approximately the western edge of the building and extend at least 150 feet to the east The row shall be repeated northward every 15 feet subject to obtaining access from abutters (The second row shall be 20 feet from the building wall and the third row shall be 35 feet from the building wall) The borings shall extend to the east and west as necessary to define the lateral extent of exceedances of the CT RSR PMCs and DECs

At the WS-20 Area the Respondent shall advance radial soil borings centered around well WS-20 with radial spokes extending in the four compass directions Samples shall be taken in 10 foot intervals with the first iteration being four borings and the successive iterations being eight borings with iterations spaced 10 feet apart The initial round of soil sampling shall include

Statement of Work for DMC UAO Version FINAL Durham Meadows Superfund Site Date July 26 2007 Durham Connecticut Page 6 of 30

both rings (the inner ring 10 feet removed from WS-20 with four borings and the outer ring 20 feet removed from WS-20 with eight borings)

At each boring location the Respondent shall collect three to four samples The Respondent shall determine sample depths by where higher VOC concentrations may be anticipated at the interface between the fill and the ablation till at the interface between the ablation till and the till at the water table and just above the bedrock surface (EPA Remedial Investigation Figures 34-2 and 34-3 indicate that the fill layer is typically two feet deep the ablation till varies from approximately three to eight feet in depth and till is on the order of 10 foot depth The water table depth is approximately 10 feet and bedrock depth approximately

20 feet) Where the ablation tilltill interface is close to the water table separate samples may not be required and three samples per boring location may be sufficient Observation and field screening of sample cores indicating soil with staining or high levels of VOCs may take precedence in selecting sample collection depth locations as described above

The Respondent may elect to conduct one additional round of Remedial Design sampling to more accurately delineate soil exceeding the CT RSR PMCs and DECs as long as such sampling does not delay the remedial action The Respondent shall propose the additional round of sampling to EPA and CT DEP The Respondent shall not conduct an additional round of sampling without receiving EPA approval

Respondent may also elect to collect concurrent samples during work being performed under this SOW provided such samples are analyzed within the appropriate holding times and otherwise comply with this SOW Any concurrent samples collected during the sampling planned as part of this SOW shall not require EPA approval but Respondent shall provide written notice of such sampling at least three days after such sampling occurs

Any additional or concurrent sampling shall be tighter (ie within an area between a sampling location meeting the CT RSR PMCs and DECs and another sampling location not meeting such soil standards) and no closer than five feet outward from a soil sample location not meeting the CT RSR PMCs or DECs Sampling depths intervals and protocols shall be similar to those required by this SOW The Respondent shall provide the results of all data to EPA and CT DEP

The Respondent shall advance all soil borings using direct-push techniques The Respondent shall visually observe the soil for the presence of DNAPL and perform continuous screening of soil samples and dye testing as necessary as

Statement of Work for DMC UAO Version FINAL Durham Meadows Superfund Site Date July 26 2007 Durham Connecticut Page 7 of 30

described in Section IVB Respondent shall use standard EPA Region I QAQC and data validation procedures as well as CT DEPs Guidance for Collecting and Preserving Soil and Sediment Samples for Laboratory Determination of Volatile Organic Compounds dated February 28 2006 The Respondent shall provide copies of all raw data field notes boring logs detection limits and data validation information to EPA and CT DEP

The Respondent shall analyze each soil sample for VOCs using EPA SW-846 8260

The Respondent shall have the option to perform laboratory analysis of soil samples iteratively so long as all samples are analyzed within the prescribed 14 day holding time and standard EPA Region I QAQC and data validation procedures are met For the WS-20 area the inner ring samples shall be analyzed first results would then determine which samples obtained from the second ring of borings if any need to be analyzed based upon a comparison to the CT RSR PMCs and DECs Similarly for the main manufacturing building area samples obtained from the first row near the building shall be analyzed first Results will dictate which samples from the second row if any should be analyzed based upon a comparison to the CT RSR PMCs and DECs In the same manner results of the second row samples shall determine which samples from the third row of borings if any will need to be analyzed

The Respondent may determine compliance with CT RSR PMCs through SPLP or TCLP analysis

Based on the results of the soil VOC analysis if Respondent so elects the Respondent shall submit a plan for the collection of additional soil samples for laboratory analysis for disposal parameters (TCLP metals pH flashpoint reactive cyanide reactive sulfide [EPA SW-846 methods]) from a subset of the soil borings

III SELECTED REMEDY

The ROD describes the remedy for the Site For the DMC Study Area specifically the ROD provides for soil excavation and off-site disposal of hot spot areas in order to address risks to human health from contamination in overburden (shallow) groundwater and to address source contamination Institutional controls primarily in the form of Environmental Land Use Restrictions (ELURs) as defined in the CT Remediation Standard Regulations (RSRs) andor by local ordinance will also be required to prevent unrestricted future use or use of contaminated groundwater EPA has selected other remedies for other portions of the Site

Components of the remedy to be performed by the Respondent pursuant to the Order and this SOW include Remedial Design Sampling of soil and groundwater at the DMC Study Area to more fully define the lateral and vertical extent of soil contamination and the installation of a sub-slab system to depressurize the area under the entire foundation of the main manufacturing building at the DMC Study Area

Sections IV and V discuss the Performance Standards and Sampling Plan for Remedial Design Sampling activities at the DMC Study Area Sections VI and VII discuss the Performance Standards and Plans to address activities related to the installation of a sub-

IV PERFORMANCE STANDARDS for REMEDIAL DESIGN SAMPLING

This section defines the Performance Standards for Remedial Design Sampling at the DMC Study Area

The Respondent shall conduct Remedial Design Sampling in order to provide all information required to design construct operate monitor and maintain the remedy at the DMC Study Area in compliance with Section L of the ROD all applicable or relevant and appropriate (ARAR) standards cited in the ROD and all Performance Standards for the components of the DMC Study Area remedy Remedial Design Sampling activities include sampling of groundwater and soil analysis and validation of data and tabulation and evaluation of data The Respondent shall comply with all requirements of the Order and this SOW

The DMC Study Area remedy addresses contamination in overburden (shallow) groundwater at the DMC Study Area through soil excavation as described in the ROD The focus of this remedy is removing the Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and possible Dense Non-Aqueous Phase Liquid (DNAPL) contamination in the overburden soils that are likely acting as continual sources of groundwater contamination These sources are located at the degreasing and former solvent storage area at the Northwest Corner Area the WS-20 Area and potentially in the Eastern Area

The Respondent shall conduct groundwater and soil sampling to determine the extent of groundwater hot spots and the extent of soil contamination acting as a source to ongoing groundwater contamination Groundwater hot spots are considered those areas demonstrating high concentrations of VOCs and the likely presence of DNAPL Initial investigations shall focus around the Northwest Corner Area the WS-20 Area and the Eastern Area

The Respondent shall collect data that supports remedial activities and allows for the design of a soil excavation remedy that (i) removes source areas to the maximum extent practicable (with the goal of meeting Interim Cleanup Levels for groundwater in the DMC Study Area as outlined in Table 42 of the ROD) and (ii) removes any soils exceeding CT RSR PMCs and DECs The Respondent shall conduct groundwater and soil sampling work reasonably concurrently The Respondent shall perform groundwater sampling to determine the extent of groundwater hot spots and provide information required to develop a post-remedial long-term groundwater monitoring plan The Respondent shall perform soil sampling to fully define the vertical and lateral extent of

Statement of Work for DMC UAO Version FINAL Durham Meadows Superfund Site Date July 26 2007 Durham Connecticut Page 3 of 30

soil with VOCs in excess of the CT RSR PMCs and DECs as well as to determine the extent of soil which if removed would be considered RCRA listed waste whether any soil contains RCRA characteristic waste based on TCLP analysis and potentially applicable disposal requirements and limitations such as RCRA land disposal restrictions

A General Requirements

Prior to implementation of any on-site field work the Respondent shall submit to EPA for its approval a field schedule that allows for EPA andor CT DEP oversight and split sampling

The Respondent shall conduct a survey of all sampling locations

The Respondent shall determine whether acquisition of access to neighboring properties is needed and take steps to acquire such access as necessary Initially access to the property located north of DMCs main manufacturing building will be required the Respondent shall make best efforts to obtain access and notify EPA immediately if access is denied

The Respondent shall determine the placement of utilities in areas to be sampled or where monitoring wells will be installed and take the appropriate steps to ensure the safety of the field team and on-site DMC workers The Respondent shall ensure that utilities are not disrupted during field sampling by creating andor updating a utility map prior to the start of any field work

To the extent that the Respondent generates investigation-derived waste the Respondent shall characterize and dispose of such waste in accordance with local State and Federal regulations Prior to any off-site transport of waste facilities selected for off-site disposal must be deemed acceptable by EPA as required pursuant to 40 CFR 300440

The Respondent shall provide copies of all raw data field notes boring logs detection limits data validation information or any other data collected to EPA and CT DEP

B Groundwater Sampling

The Respondent shall inspect all existing overburden groundwater monitoring wells within the DMC Study Area in order to determine whether they are in a condition adequate to perform low-flow groundwater sampling The Respondent

Statement of Work for DMC UAO Version FINAL Durham Meadows Superfund Site Date July 26 2007 Durham Connecticut Page 4 of 30

shall replace any unusable existing groundwater monitoring well with a new well located reasonably close to such unusable existing well The Respondent shall submit their evaluation of the viability of existing wells construction details of any unusable existing wells and the approximate location and construction details of any replacement wells to EPA for review and approval EPA approval shall be required prior to the Respondent sampling any existing or replacement groundwater monitoring wells or installing any replacement wells

In addition to replacing any unusable existing wells five groundwater wells shall be required to investigate the Eastern Area EPA in conjunction with CT DEP shall determine the exact location of the required groundwater wells in the Eastern Area

The Respondent shall conduct all new or replacement well installation in a manner that ensures continuous soil samples can be collected for screening during drilling (such as with direct push technology or a hollow stem auger) and where appropriate sampled During well installation soil shall be visually examined for evidence of DNAPL If DNAPL is visible in soil the Respondent shall conduct dye testing on the affected soil (using Sudan IV or similar dye) The Respondent shall also perform continuous screening of soil samples using a photoionization detector (PID) During screening the soil will be split open and the PID probe placed in the opening and covered with a gloved hand Any specific soil interval that indicates a PIC reading gt100 parts per million total detectible organic vapors will undergo further dye testing (using Sudan IV or similar dye)

Upon EPA approval the Respondent shall conduct groundwater sampling of the usable existing wells the replacement wells and the five new wells in the Eastern Area in a single sampling event

Groundwater sampling shall be conducted using low flow sampling techniques as described in EPA Region I Low Stress (low flow) Purging and Sampling Procedure for the Collection of Ground Water Samples from Monitoring Wells dated July 30 1996 Groundwater samples shall be analyzed for VOCs by EPA method 5242 or SW-846 method 8620 All groundwater sampling results shall be validated pursuant to Attachment A

During groundwater sampling the Respondent shall visually observe for the presence of DNAPL Dye testing (using Sudan IV or similar dye) or screening of the wells with an interface probe shall be performed where DNAPL is visually observed in groundwater (The absence of DNAPL observations or negative test results however does not rule out the presence of DNAPL)

Statement of Work for DMC UAO Version FINAL Durham Meadows Superfund Site Date July 26 2007

Additional investigation including additional soil sampling in the Eastern Area may be required after reviewing data from groundwater well sampling

C Soil Sampling

Substantially concurrent with groundwater sampling Respondent shall conduct soil borings and soil sampling on a grid pattern at the Northwest Corner Area and the WS-20 Area to define the extent of soil contamination exceeding the CT RSR PMCs and DECs As stated above additional soil sampling in the Eastern Area may be required after reviewing data from groundwater well sampling

The Respondent shall collect soil samples in a grid pattern Soil samples shall continue outwards as defined below in all directions (both laterally and vertically) until samples do not exceed CT RSR PMCs and DECs or until a building foundation is encountered If samples from the final row of the grid areas defined below exceed either CT RSR PMCs or DECs additional soil sampling shall be required unless a building foundation is encountered The Respondent shall submit the proposed grid and locations of soil borings and soil sampling to EPA for review and approval EPA approval shall be required prior to the Respondent implementing soil boring and soil sampling activities

At the Northwest Corner Area the Respondent shall collect samples in a grid The initial round of soil sampling shall include three rows of borings The first row of samples shall start five feet from the outer northern wall of the building The row shall contain five or six sampling locations spaced 30 feet apart the number of sampling locations in each row should be determined based on past data allowing a buffer zone to ensure the lateral edges of the contaminated zone to the east and west are fully defined The row shall begin at approximately the western edge of the building and extend at least 150 feet to the east The row shall be repeated northward every 15 feet subject to obtaining access from abutters (The second row shall be 20 feet from the building wall and the third row shall be 35 feet from the building wall) The borings shall extend to the east and west as necessary to define the lateral extent of exceedances of the CT RSR PMCs and DECs

At the WS-20 Area the Respondent shall advance radial soil borings centered around well WS-20 with radial spokes extending in the four compass directions Samples shall be taken in 10 foot intervals with the first iteration being four borings and the successive iterations being eight borings with iterations spaced 10 feet apart The initial round of soil sampling shall include

Statement of Work for DMC UAO Version FINAL Durham Meadows Superfund Site Date July 26 2007 Durham Connecticut Page 6 of 30

both rings (the inner ring 10 feet removed from WS-20 with four borings and the outer ring 20 feet removed from WS-20 with eight borings)

At each boring location the Respondent shall collect three to four samples The Respondent shall determine sample depths by where higher VOC concentrations may be anticipated at the interface between the fill and the ablation till at the interface between the ablation till and the till at the water table and just above the bedrock surface (EPA Remedial Investigation Figures 34-2 and 34-3 indicate that the fill layer is typically two feet deep the ablation till varies from approximately three to eight feet in depth and till is on the order of 10 foot depth The water table depth is approximately 10 feet and bedrock depth approximately

20 feet) Where the ablation tilltill interface is close to the water table separate samples may not be required and three samples per boring location may be sufficient Observation and field screening of sample cores indicating soil with staining or high levels of VOCs may take precedence in selecting sample collection depth locations as described above

The Respondent may elect to conduct one additional round of Remedial Design sampling to more accurately delineate soil exceeding the CT RSR PMCs and DECs as long as such sampling does not delay the remedial action The Respondent shall propose the additional round of sampling to EPA and CT DEP The Respondent shall not conduct an additional round of sampling without receiving EPA approval

Respondent may also elect to collect concurrent samples during work being performed under this SOW provided such samples are analyzed within the appropriate holding times and otherwise comply with this SOW Any concurrent samples collected during the sampling planned as part of this SOW shall not require EPA approval but Respondent shall provide written notice of such sampling at least three days after such sampling occurs

Any additional or concurrent sampling shall be tighter (ie within an area between a sampling location meeting the CT RSR PMCs and DECs and another sampling location not meeting such soil standards) and no closer than five feet outward from a soil sample location not meeting the CT RSR PMCs or DECs Sampling depths intervals and protocols shall be similar to those required by this SOW The Respondent shall provide the results of all data to EPA and CT DEP

The Respondent shall advance all soil borings using direct-push techniques The Respondent shall visually observe the soil for the presence of DNAPL and perform continuous screening of soil samples and dye testing as necessary as

Statement of Work for DMC UAO Version FINAL Durham Meadows Superfund Site Date July 26 2007 Durham Connecticut Page 7 of 30

described in Section IVB Respondent shall use standard EPA Region I QAQC and data validation procedures as well as CT DEPs Guidance for Collecting and Preserving Soil and Sediment Samples for Laboratory Determination of Volatile Organic Compounds dated February 28 2006 The Respondent shall provide copies of all raw data field notes boring logs detection limits and data validation information to EPA and CT DEP

The Respondent shall analyze each soil sample for VOCs using EPA SW-846 8260

The Respondent shall have the option to perform laboratory analysis of soil samples iteratively so long as all samples are analyzed within the prescribed 14 day holding time and standard EPA Region I QAQC and data validation procedures are met For the WS-20 area the inner ring samples shall be analyzed first results would then determine which samples obtained from the second ring of borings if any need to be analyzed based upon a comparison to the CT RSR PMCs and DECs Similarly for the main manufacturing building area samples obtained from the first row near the building shall be analyzed first Results will dictate which samples from the second row if any should be analyzed based upon a comparison to the CT RSR PMCs and DECs In the same manner results of the second row samples shall determine which samples from the third row of borings if any will need to be analyzed

The Respondent may determine compliance with CT RSR PMCs through SPLP or TCLP analysis

Based on the results of the soil VOC analysis if Respondent so elects the Respondent shall submit a plan for the collection of additional soil samples for laboratory analysis for disposal parameters (TCLP metals pH flashpoint reactive cyanide reactive sulfide [EPA SW-846 methods]) from a subset of the soil borings

V REMEDIAL DESIGN SAMPLING PLAN

As described in this SOW the Respondent shall develop a final Remedial Design Sampling Plan for the remedy for the DMC Study area that meets the Performance Standards specified in Section IV of this SOW Section VA describes the Respondents responsibilities for selecting a contractor Section VB describes the Respondents responsibilities for submitting deliverables during Remedial Design Sampling activities Section VC describes the Respondents responsibilities for conducting Remedial Design Sampling Project Meetings
