BACKGROUND

The Robintech Incorporated/National Pipe Company site (site) is an inactive filled lagOon in a primarily industrial area in the Town of Vestal, Broome County, New York. The site occupies 12.7 acres and is bordered by Commerce Road and several warehouses and light industrial buildings to the east; Old Vestal Road, several residences to the south; an amusement facility and fuel storage tanks to the west; and Conrail railroad tracks and. Parkway Vending Inc., to the north. The site is located approximately half way down, a west-facing hill that slopes toward the Susquehanna River.

The area has two distinct aquifers which are sources of water supply. The upper aquifer is' comprised of the overburden material above bedrock. Ground water is 6 - 20 feet below ground surface in this aquifer. The lower aquifer is shale bedrock with a weathered zone 7-10 feet thick. Fractures along the horizontal bedding planes and vertical joints in the shale allow for ground water flow. Ground water flow is primarily to the west, with minor components trending to the northwest and southwest, and is recharged by rainfall. There are no private drinking water wells in the vicinity of the site. The ground water in the area is used for municipal well water serving approximately 7300 people.

Robinson Technical Products, Inc. used the first floor of the main building for the manufacture of aircraft engine mounts and automobile accelerator control cables as early as 1966. The second floor was used for the assembly of electronic cable. In 1970, the company was renamed Robintech, Inc. and the first floor' production activities were replaced with PVC pipe extrusion operations. Ten production wells were installed in 1983 to supply cooling water for this process. In 1982, the site was purchased by its current owner, Buffton Corporation and was occupied by its subsidiaries National. Pipe Company and Electro-Mech Incorporated. Electro-Mech continued the assembly of electronic cable while National Pipe continued the PVC pipe extrusion operations until 1991 when all of National Pipe's assets were sold to LCP National Plastics (LCP). LCP is currently occupying National Pipe's portion of the site. An on-site lagoon was used from 1968 until 1974 for disposal of chromic acid plating solution, caustic reverse plating etch,, machine cutting oils and toluene. Over 1500 gallons pf liquid waste were dumped into the lagoon.

In 1984, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation collected an effluent sample which found certain organic constituents including 1,1,1 -trichloroethane, trichlofoethene and toluene, above standards that were not covered under the existing permit. Further investigation revealed the source to be ground water beneath the site'. The ground water was being pumped from the on-site production wells, used as cooling water in the PVC pipe extrusion process, and then discharged at the permitted effluent point. The site was place on EPA's National Priorities List in 1986. An Administrative Order on Consent for a Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Study (PJ/FS) was issued in 1987 to General Indicator Group Inc, Buffton, Buffton Electronics and National Pipe Company.

1

Subsequent investigations determined that there were three areas ofthe site with heavily volatile organic compounds (VOCs)-contaminated soils that were causing the ground' water contamination. In addition, the Remedial Investigation reported high levels of lead

• in soil and sediments. -

Following the completion of the RI/FS in 1992, a Record of Decision (ROD) was signed selecting pumping and treatment of the contaminated bedrock and overburden ground water in three areas of the site. However, this remedy proved unsuccessful in the overburden aquifer and a second ROD was signed. The new remedy included excavation of contaminated unsaturated and saturated soils, treatment via low temperature thermal desorption, and redepositiori, along with continued pumping ofthe bedrock aquifer. The excavation was complete in 2001 and ground water monitoring commenced.

Due to the presence ofthe amusement facility in the proximity ofthe groundwater • . contamination, a vapor intrusion investigation has been initiated. The Division of

Environmental Science and Assessment (DESA), Hazardous Waste Support Branch (HWSB), Superfund Support Team (SST) was requested by the Environmental Remedial and Response Division (ERRD) to install permanent, sub-slab ports and collect sub-slab air samples from the amusement facility, Skate Estate.

2.0 SAMPLING PROCEDURES

The sampling procedures were in accordance with the guidelines set forth in the Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP) which is located in Appendix B.

3.0 DESCRIPTION OF EVENTS .

The vapor intrusion investigation began with the installation of sub-slab ports in the Skate Estate building on June 21, 2006. The sampling team consisted of three (3) members from the U.S. EPA, DESA, HWSB, SST. The ports were installed according to REAC Standard Operating Procedure 2082: Construction and Installation of Permanent Sub-Slab Soil Gas Wells which can be found as Appendix D in the QAPP which is attached to this.document as Appendix B. The ports were installed by inserting stainless steel tubing through a hole made into the main floor ofthe building. Each port was placed ' approximately one inch below the concrete slab. The port was sealed with new concrete and left to set for twenty four hours. Each location was denoted, SSP and a number The Skate Estate building consists of the employee are including an office and eatery on the west side, the main skating area in the center and a unfurnished, storage hallway on the east. Four sub-slab ports were installed in the storage hallway and one was installed in a closet off the office. Table 1 on the following page describes the location and depth of each port installed. A sketch of the port locations can be found in Appendix I .

Over the twenty four hour period of June 28 - 29, 2006, sub-slab samples were collected from every location with a sample port. Initially, one six liter SUMMA™ canister was designated as the trip blank and remained unopened during the extent ofthe sampling event. An ambient air sample was collected to eliminate the possibility of exterior air cross-contamination from east of the building. The EPA staff connected each SUMMA™1

canister to the sub-slab port via Teflon tubing. A photograph log ofthe sample collection and locations can be found as Appendix J. After twenty four hours passed, on June 29, 2006, the sub-slab canister samples were closed, the final pressures were recorded and the canisters were sent to Eastern Analytical Services (EAS) laboratory. Table 2 indicates the SUMMA™ canisters that were used for each sample as well as the sample type and canister pressures. The shipment information can be found in the Trip Report in Appendix

The samples were analyzed by EAS for a list of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) according to U.S. EPA Compendium Method TO-15: Determination of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) in Air Collected in Specialty-Prepared Canisters and Analyzed by Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) from the Compendium of Method'; for the Determination of Toxic Organic Compounds in Ambient Air which can be found as Appendix C ofthe quality assurance project plan which can be found as Appendix B of this document. The list of VOCs comprises only those that are acontaminant of concern (COC) or are a breakdown of a COC. Table 3 on the following page reveals the results of this initial round of sub-slab sample collection.

The primary contaminants of concern at the site are trichloroethene (TCE) and 1,1,1-trichloroethane (TCA) based on previous operations at the site. The results were ' compared to the EPA Region III Risk Based Concentrations for Ambient Air which can be found in Appendix K for all compounds except TCE and tetrachloroethene (PCE). EPA Region IPs risk assessors have determined the sub-slab action level for TCE to be 50

• /ig/m3 and 1000 g/m3 for PCE. TCE was detected in all five sub-slab samples and found to be above 50 //g/m3 in all four east storage hallway sub-slab samples. TCA was also • found in all samples, but exceeded the Region III RBCs in sample SSP-02 only. PCE was found above 1000 g/m3 in all but one sample, SSP-02. Sample location SSP-02, located in the northeast corner of the Skate Estate building, closest to the site, had the most compounds above the action levels. The location is also closest to Skate Estate's heating and air conditioning units! Sample location, SSP-01, located in the office space only showed PCE to be above action limit. The highest PCE and TCE concentrations were found in sample SSP-03, located on the northern/central area ofthe east side ofthe -building. These results, can be seen in the highlighted portion of Table 3 on page 5. Due to the concentrations found at the Skate Estate building and the sensitive population that inhabits the building for a portion of time, the collection of indoor air samples was recommended.

As a result of this sampling event, the EPA/DESA/HWSB/SST was. requested to conduct an additional round of sub-slab sampling in the same port locations in conjunction with indoor air samples. During the twenty four hour period, September 20 - 21, 2006, the EPA.sampling team conducted an additional round of sub-slab sampling from all ports and collected indoor air samples from five locations in the Skate Estate building. The sub-slab samples .were denoted with the same identification, SSP and a number, while the indoor air were called, IA and a number. One indoor air sample was collected from the office, two samples were taken from the skating area and two indoor air samples were collected in the east storage hallway, near the ports. Initially, one six liter SUMMA™ canister was designated as the trip blank and remained unopened during the extent ofthe sampling event.. A background, ambient air sample was collected from northeast ofthe Skate Estate building.' Table 4 on the following page indicates the SUMMA™ canisters that were used for each sample as well as the sample type and canister pressures. A -photograph log ofthe canister sample locations can be found as Appendix J and a sketch of the locations can be found in Appendix I .

The sub-slab results were found to be lower during this round of sampling than the previous sampling round. A comparison of the two rounds of sub-slab sampling can be found in Table 8 on page 18. The results were compared to the EPA Region III Risk Based Concentrations for Ambient Air which can be found in Appendix K for all compounds except TCE which is 50 ^g/m3 in the sub-slab and 5.0 /zg/m3 in the indoor air, and PCE which is 1000 /Jg/m3 in the sub-slab and 100 jig/m3 for the indoor air. TCE was found to be above 50 g/m3 in two of the four sub-slab samples, SSP-04 and SSP-05. TCA was only found in three sub-slab samples, all below the Region III RBCs. PCE was found above 1000 /*g/m3 in two samples, SSP-04 and SSP-05. Sample locations SSP-04 and SSP-05, located in the southeast corner of the Skate Estate building contained the highest PCE and TCE concentrations. During this round of sampling six indoor air samples were also collected including a field duplicate sample. One sample was collected from the office while two samples-were collected from the skating area. In addition, three indoor air samples with the duplicate, were collected from the east storage hallway near the ports. PCE was found above 100 ^g/m3 in all of the indoor air samples. The Skate Estate was active during the sampling and the indoor air levels in the skating area may have been influenced by patron's dry cleaned clothing. PCE was also found above the action level in the indoor air samples collected in the east storage hallway near the ports. Benzene was found above the Region III RBCs in every indoor air sample. Benzene was found in the ambient air sample and was not found in any of the sub-slab samples. These results can be seen in the highlighted portion of Table 5 on page 8.

The U.S. EPA Region II utilizes a matrix system to assess the vapor intrusion pathway at Superfund sites. The matrix compares the indoor .air results to the sub-slab to detennine whether the contamination originates from the contaminated ground water or soil. Both results are then compared to an action level. For example, if the indoor air sample is contaminated with benzene above the action level, however, the sub-slab sample did not detect benzene, the matrix determines that the contamination does not originate from below the building. If the sub-slab sample is contaminated, but the indoor air sample is hot, there is no health threat. Therefore, the sub-slab sample, and the indoor air sample must contain the same contaminant to prove attribution to the site. Benzene was only found in the indoor air and ambient air samples and therefore can be attributed to exterior contamination. PCE was found in both the sub-slab and indoor air which indicates a complete vapor intrusion pathway.

Based on these results, theJEPA/DESA/HWSB/SST was-requested'to expand the vapor intrusion investigation to residences in the vicinity of the site. In addition, the EPA conducted an additional round of sub-slab and indoor air sampling at the Skate Estate. On March 12, 2007, the EPA installed sub-slab ports in the basements of three residences in the vicinity of the site. The residences comprise one single family home and one duplex containing two residences. One port was installed in each according to REAC Standard Operating Procedure 2082: Construction and Installation of Permanent Sub-Slab Soil Gas Wells which can be found as Appendix D in the QAPP which is attached to this document as-Appendix B. A sketch ofthe port locations can be found in Appendix I along with a completed questionnaire for each residence. During the twenty four hour

period, March 13- 14, 2007, the EPA sampling team collected three sub-slab samples and five indoor air sampling at the skate estate. They also collected a sub-slab sample from each ofthe newly installed ports as well as indoor air samples from the basement and first floor of each residence. Two ambient air samples were collected, one from the northeast ofthe Skate Estate and one from south of the duplex building. Table 6 below indicates the SUMMA™ canisters that were used for each sample as well as the sample type and pressures.

RNP2.2019

During this round of sampling, three properties were included with the Skate Estate, 3420, ' 3422 and 3424 Old Vestal Road. None of the contaminants of concern were found in the

sub-slab result for any of the residences. The only indoor air contaminant from the residences above the action level of was benzene. Benzene was also detected in the ambient air sample. Only three sub-slab ports were sampled at Skate Estate during this

. round, SSP-01, SSP-04 and SSP-05. As can be seen on Table 8 on page 18, the levels have fluctuated. TCE was found above 50 jUg/m3 in sub-slab samples, SSP-04 and SSP-05. TCA was found above the RBC in sample SSP-05, while PCE was found above 1000

Ug/m3 in sample SSP-04. Benzene exceeded the RBC level in every indoor air sample and the ambient air sample. PCE was found in all five indoor air samples at lower levels than the previous sampling round. See Table 9 on page 1.8 for a comparison to the September 2006 indoor air data. PCE was detected above the action level in the.three indoor air samples collected in the skating area only.

4.0 RESULTS

Data Usability -

-No data were rejected during the validation process, therefore, all data are usable. The only qualifier utilized during the validation procedure was a "J" which indicates the result is estimated. In the March 2007 data, tetrachloroethene and toluene in six samples were estimated due to the laboratory, control duplicate recovery and surrogate recovery being outside of the control limits. This can be seen in the CLP Data Assessment of Appendix

( ' H. All results can be found in the data packages with the Data Assessments in ~_ Appendices C, D and E and Tables 3, 5 and 7.

As a part of the laboratory's Quality Assurance/ Quality Control (QA/QC) criteria, the laboratory conducted VOC analysis on SUMMA™ canisters known as trip blank samples. The blanks are used during data validation to assess for cross-contamination. The trip blank canisters were not opened during the sampling event and they accompany the . samples to the laboratory. Trip blank samples were collected during the June and September 2006 sampling events. The sample collected in September 2006, contained a low level of benzene. This indicates either a leak in the canister or improper cleaning.

' Benzene is not a contaminant of concern and this result did not affect the rest of the data.

Indoor air sample field duplicates entails two canisters placed next to each other and opened simultaneously. No duplicate samples were collected during the initial, June 2006

• sampling event. In September 2006, the indoor air sample duplicate was collected at location IA-4 and it was denoted, IA-5. Duplicate results are within the EPA Region II acceptance criteria. In March 2007, the indoor air duplicate sample was collected in the basement of 3420 Old Vestal'Rd. These results are also within the EPA Region II duplicate criteria. This can be seen on Tables 5 and 7 on pages 8 and 12, respectively.

Another measure of quality assurance/quality control is the collection of ambient air samples. An ambient air sample was collected during each round of sampling. These samples ensure that the contamination found in the sub-slab or, more so the indoor ait-samples, does not originate from the outside atmosphere. Therefore, the levels in the ambient air should be lower than the levels in the indoor air to prove attribution to the contaminated soil or ground water. In June 2006, only sub-slab samples were collected from Skate Estate. The ambient air sample was collected from east ofthe Skate Estate building. Benzene, TCE and PCE were detected in the sample at low levels. As previously stated, the benzene found in the indoor air samples was influenced by the level in the ambient air. An active facility, LCP, is located to the east of the Skate Estate building. In September 2006, the ambient air sample was placed further to the north ofthe Skate Estate. This sample also detected benzene, TCE, PCE and trichlorofluoromethane. Only benzene was also detected in the indoor air samples. During the March 2007 sampling event, two ambient air samples were collected, one from north of Skate Estate and one from south of the residences. The Skate Estate ambient air sample contained chloroethane, trichlorofluoromethane, benzene, TCE, toluene and PCE. Toluene was found at a level of about half of that found in the indoor air samples. Benzene was detected at a level comparable to the indoor air sample levels. The ambient air sample collected south of the residential properties detected chloroethane, trichlorofluoromethane, 1,1-dichloroethene, cis-1,2-dichloroethene, benzene, TCE, toluene and PCE at low levels. These results can be found in Tables 3, 5 and 7 on pages 5, 8 and 12, respectively.

June 2006

The principal volatile organic contaminants of concern (COC) at the Robintech Inc./National Pipe Company site are trichloroethene (TCE), 1,1,1-trichloroethane (TCA) and tetrachloroethene (PCE). During EPA's initial round of port installation and sub-slab sampling at the Skate Estate property, all three COCs were detected in all five sub-slab samples. The highest results were found- to be TCA and 1,1 -dichlorbethane in sample SSP-02 located at the northeast end of the building. The Highest PCE and TCE results were found in sample SSP-04 located in the south end Of the building. Due to the high results found during the sub-slab sampling event, an indoor air assessment was required.. This data can be seen from on Table 3 on page 5 and the raw data can be found in Appendix C.

September 2006 .

The September 2006 sampling event was a follow up to the EPA's initial round of sampling at the site. The sub-slab samples were collected from the same ports and indoor air samples were collected from the office, skating area and east storage hallway with the ports. , During this sampling event, the sub-slab results were found to be lower than the sub-slab results collected in June 2006. See Table 8 on page 18 for a comparison. The highest PCE and TCE results were found in samples SSP-04 and SSP-05 on the southeast

16

RNP2.2021

side of the building. Location SSP-02 showed the highest TCA and 1,1-dichloroethane results. The indoor air sampling revealed PCE and benzene contamination above the action levels. As previously discussed, benzene was also high in the ambient air and therefore, cannot.be considered to have originated from the sub-slab. PCE was higher in the indoor air samples collected from the skating area than in the east hallway area with the ports. The floor of the skating area is covered with a thick skating floor while the east hallway is a bare, concrete slab. The elevated PCE results in the skating area may have been caused by indoor air cross-contamination, possibly from dry cleaned clothing. Due to the elevated PCE levels in the indoor air in the east hallway in respect to the elevated sub-slab PCE results, there is a complete vapor intrusion pathway at this site. These data can be seen from on Table 5 on page 8 and the raw data can be found in Appendix D.

March 2007

A final round of sub-slab and indoor air sampling was conducted at the Skate Estate as well as in three residences in the vicinity of the site in March of 2007. Sub-slab samples were only collected from ports SSP-04 and SSP-05. The sub-slab results found at the Skate Estate during this sampling event varied from those found during previous sampling events. See Table 8 on page 18 for a comparison. The PCE in the sub-slab sample, SSP-04 was at a level similar to that of June 2006. The TCA results in SSP-04 and SSP-05 were the highest of all three rounds of sampling, while the TCE levels had dropped. In the indoor air samples, TCA and TCE levels were consistent with previous sampling rounds. See Table 9 on page 18 for a comparison. The PCE results in the indoor air samples collected in the skating area were still above the, action level. However, the indoor air samples from the east hallway with the ports were not above 100 /*g/m3. These data can -be seen on Table 7 on page 12 and the raw data can be found in Appendix E.

The residential properties were sampled for sub-slab air and indoor air from the basement and first floor. None ofthe sub-slab results were elevated, therefore, there is no vapor intrusion pathway in any of the residences. The only compound above the action level in the indoor air was benzene. Once again, benzene was found in every ambient air sample. The site and residences are located on a busy, high traffic road and this may be the cause ofthe elevated benzene in the ambient air. These data can be seen on Table 7 on page 12 and the raw data can be found in Appendix E.

CONCLUSION:

As can be seen from Tables 3, 5 and 7, the contaminants of concern, trichloroethene, 1,1,1-trichloroethane and tetrachloroethene (PCE), were found at levels above the action level in the sub-slab samples collected from-the Skate Estate. PCE was the only compound also found in the indoor air samples above the action level. The U.S. EPA Region II utilizes a matrix system to assess the vapor intrusion pathway at Superfund sites. The matrix compares the indoor air results to the sub-slab to determine whether the contamination originates from the contaminated ground water or soil. Both results are then compared to an action level. For example,, i f the indoor air sample is contaminated with PCE above the action level, however, the sub-slab sample did not detect PCE, the matrix determines that the contamination originated from an exterior source. If the sub-slab sample is contaminated, but the indoor air sample is not, there is ho health threat. Therefore, the sub-slab sample and the indoor air sample must contain the same contaminant to. prove attribution to the site. Since PCE was detected above 1000 ^g/m3

in the sub-slab and above 100 Mg/m3 in the indoor air near the.sub-slab ports in September .2006, there is a complete vapor intrusion pathway at the Skate Estate building. A human health risk assessment is recommended. There were no compounds found above the action levels in both the sub-slab and indoor air samples collected from three residences in the vicinity of the site.
