No. 3 1.0 INTRODUCTION Section 1.0 Revision No.: 0 Date: February 17, 1994 Page 1 of 2 In support of EPA Region IV, Black & Veatch Waste Science, Inc. (BVWS) has prepared this Work Plan (WP) describing the design activities to be performed for the remediation of soils at the Carolina Transformer Superfund site. This work plan is in response to EPA Work Assignment No. 18-4NC2, Revision No. 3 dated December 20, 1993 and executed by BVWS on January 20, 1994. The design activities are in general compliance with the Record of Decision Remedial Alternatives Selection document for the site executed by EPA Region IV Regional Administrator Greer Tidwell on August 29, 1991. The Carolina Transformer site is located in Cumberland County, North Carolina, approximately one mile northeast of Fayetteville. The site address is 301 North Eastern Boulevard, which is just north of the intersection of U.S. Highway 301 and River Road. The approximate U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) coordinates of the site are latitude 35° 03' 08"N and longitude 78° 50' 07"W and the site is approximately 4.5 acres in size. Surrounding the site are several private homes, small industrial and commercial establishments, agricultural land, and a sand and gravel operation north of the site. The Carolina Transformer Company began recycling electrical transformers in 1967. During the course of its activities, the company handled and stored large numbers of electrical transformers at the site which contained dielectric fluids laden with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Operations ceased in the early 1980's, and all facilities on the property are currently vacant. Evidence of contamination of 2 local drinking water wells by chlorobenzene, a PCB carrier solvent, was first documented by the North Carolina Department of Natural Resources and Community Development, Division of Environmental Management (DEM) in 1978. Subsequent analyses by DEM and EPA Region IV detected PCBs and chlorobenzenes in groundwater, soil, surface water, and sediment samples. Based on sampling results, an immediate removal action was initiated by EPA Region IV on August 13, 1984 and completed on August 22, 1984. Cleanup consisted of 51832.711/WP February 17, 1994 Draft Work Plan Carolina Transformer Site -Remedial Design ARCs IV -EPA Contract No. 68-W9-0055 Work Assignment No. 18-4NC2; Rev.

The excavated areas were backfilled with approximately 588 tons of clean soils. Approximately 975 tons of PCB-contaminated material was removed and disposed of at the Emelle, Alabama facility operated by Chemical Waste Management. EPA commenced the remedial investigation of the site in August 1989 and completed the four-phased investigation in August 1990. The Baseline Risk Assessment and subsequent Feasibility Study were completed by March 1991 and the Record of Decision was issued in August 1991. This Remedial Design Work Plan is intended to delineate the design and support activities necessary for excavation and soil treatment to comply with the Record of Decision for the site. Groundwater remediation. has not been incorporated into Revision 3 of the EPA Work Assignment, and is not addressed within this Work Plan. The remedial design will provide a technical specification-based method for excavation of contaminated soils, building demolition, and debris disposal, and a performance-based system for soils remediation. The main components of the proposed work efforts further described in Volume 1 of this Work Plan consist of the following: n Project planning n Preparation of the design report and solicitation package for excavation and demolition, including a preliminary design presentation, a draft remedial design report, and final design ):1 ):1 Performance specification remedial design and solicitation package for the soil treatment system Technical support Work assignment management The rationale for each of the main components is also detailed in Volume 1. The major deliverables, schedules, and supporting technical issues are contained in Volume 1 of this Work Plan. Volume 2 of this plan contains all level-of-effort (LOE) information broken out by task, cost data associated with the LOE including other direct costs (ODCs), all supporting cost information, and subcontractor cost estimates. 51832.711/WP February 17, 1994 ,, ft I 1.

The site address is 301 North Eastern Boulevard, which is just north of the intersection of U.S. Highway 301 and River Road (Figure 2-1). The approximate USGS coordinates of the site are latitude 35° 03' 0S"N and longitude 78° 50' 07"W. The site consists of approximately 4.5 acres as determined by a property survey conducted in February 1992. The site is relatively flat with topographic relief of only 6 feet. Elevations range from approximately 87 feet above mean sea level (msl) along the northwestern boundary to approximately 93 feet above ms! along the southeastern boundary. Access to the site is available from Middle Road along the southeastern portion of the site, as shown on Figure 2-2. The area along the northern boundary is a wooded/swampy area adjacent to an agricultural field and several private residences. The western boundary of the site is adjacent to a dirt road that provides access to two private residences. The southern boundary abuts Larry's Sausage Company, Lundy Packing Company (operating the site as the Fayetteville Livestock Market), and Middle Road. The eastern boundary adjoins an agricultural field and an abandoned home site. A building foundation and several vacant structures are located onsite. These structures are situated within the northeastern portion of the site. The western portion of the site is relatively open. 2.1.2 Demography and Land Use Cumberland County North Carolina encompasses approximately 661 square miles and, according to 1990 census data, has a population of 274,566 people. This number correlates somewhat with the figures used in the Baseline Risk Assessment Report filed in March 1991. That report used the 1980 census data and the population 51832.711/WP February 17, 1994 :I I 'I I: I, I D u 'D m ... ~---uses 7 s o . . .

The projections presented in the Baseline Risk Assessment Report indicated that the population of the County would increase to 261,839 by 1990 and to 275,972 by 2000. Indications are the population growth is well ahead of the previous projections and had almost attained the year 2000 projections in 1990. The total number of housing units in the county is 98,360, according to 1990 census data . The number of people residing within a one mile radius of the site is approximately 650, with an average household of 2 people, according to the Cumberland County Joint Planning Commission. The site is zoned heavy industrial, and land directly north, east, and south of the site is zoned planned industrial, according to a master land use plan developed by the Cumberland County Joint Planning Commission. The land east of the site is zoned planned commercial according to the same master plan. Current land use is varied and consists of a mixture of commercial, residential, and agricultural uses. 2.1.3 Hydrogeo/ogy The Carolina Transformer site may be underlain by as many as three aquifers. These aquifers, in ascending order, are the Cape Fear Formation, the Middendorf Formation, and the alluvial deposits predominant in this region. The sands and clays of the Cape Fear and the Middendorf Formations serve as aquifers in the Fayetteville area. Wells completed in these formations can be screened across large intervals which could cover sands and intervening clays. The sands in these zones provide much higher sustainable yields and are the most productive strata in the region. The fractured bedrock in the area is utilized for industrial water supply wells. A deep bedrock well was used by Larry's Sausage Company adjacent to the site. This well is 303 feet deep and is completed into the bedrock from 212 feet to its total depth . Onsite, a soil boring was drilled to 120 feet in total depth during the post-RI investigation in February 1993. A confining clay layer was first encountered at 15 feet below land surface and extended the total depth of the boring. The shallow alluvial aquifer under the site is located at a depth of five to eight feet below land surface and includes a fine to coarse grained sand layer which varies in thickness from six to fifteen feet. This shallow aquifer appears to flow in a 51832.711/WP February 17, 1994 I I 'I I I ., .I ·1 j I .1 I I Draft Work Plan Carolina Transformer Site -Remedial Design ARCs IV -EPA Contract No. 68-W9-0055 Work Assignment No. 18-4NC2; Rev.

The gray to blue-gray clay layer located under the upper sands ( and found consistently both on and off the site) has demonstrated low permeability during laboratory testing and apparently acts as a confining layer separating the shallow aquifer from deeper water bearing zones. The alluvial deposits of the shallow aquifer could provide significant yields for wells; however, information reviewed indicates that this aquifer is not presently used as a water supply in the area. The site is situated in the Coastal Plain physiographic province of North Carolina. Soils in this area are formed from crystalline materials such as granites, gneisses, and schists. The soils consist primarily of brown to tan, fine to coarse grained sands, tan silty sands, clayey sands, sandy clays, and clays. The surficial soils at the site consist of the Wickham Series and the Roanoke Series. Wickham Series soils cover most of the former facility area. These soils are well drained soils formed in loamy alluvial sediments on terraces of the Cape Fear River and its tributaries. The loamy horizon of this series is generally 40 to 60 inches thick, is underlain by sandy alluvial sediments, and is well suited for cultivation. The sandy alluvial sediments are poorly drained soils formed in stratified clayey sediments on terraces of the Cape Fear River and its tributaries. The Roanoke soils are somewhat poorly drained and typically have a surface layer of grayish brown loam about eight inches thick. The subsoil averages about 4 7 inches in thickness. Surface water runoff is slow, resulting in ponding in some areas during wet periods and the seasonal high water table is at or near the surface. 2.1.4 Hydrology The Carolina Transformer site is situated directly at or very near the headwaters of an unnamed tributary that flows approximately one-half mile from the site to the Cape Fear River. The Cape Fear River is located approximately 0.75 miles west of the site, and is a Class C surface water body in the vicinity of the site, according to DEM. The site lies within the 100-year floodplain for the Cape Fear River. Locks Creek is located less than one mile east of the site, and is also a Class C surface water body. The majority of surface runoff flows from the site into an 18-inch culvert which runs along the southwest edge of the site. The culvert carries flow to a natural 51832.711/WP February 17, 1994 ·1 ,I a ' ,I 'I I I I I I Draft Work Plan Carolina Transformer Site -Remedial Design ARCs IV -EPA Contract No. 68-W9-0055 Work Assignment No. 18-4NC2; Rev.

This tributary flows from the southwest corner of the site to the Cape Fear River. The remaining site drainage flows to other drainage ditches along Middle Road, west to the Cape Fear River, and east to Locks Creek. 2.2 DATABASE REVIEW 2.2. 1 Site History Carolina Transformer Company was founded in 1958, according to a February 1985 Dunn and Bradstreet report. The first parcel of the site was deeded to Carolina Transformer by Lizzie Talbot McDaniel on February 7, 1959. Carolina Transformer Company was incorporated on May 6, 1959; however, 1965 was the first year the Cumberland County Tax Office records identified the Carolina Transformer property for tax purposes. The first indication of business operations at the site was the presence of two large buildings depicted on the 1957 USGS quadrangle map. In 1967, Carolina Transformer Company sold 4.75 acres of their property to R. L. Hon barrier. According to the North Carolina Secretary of State's Corporate Division records, in 1979, Mr. Kenneth Strothers started a new transformer company named Faytransco located in Fayetteville, North Carolina. According to EPA records, Carolina Transformer Company relocated in April 1982 and changed its name to Faytransco, Inc. In 1985 Faytransco was shut down and dissolved. On November 29, 1984, the entire site was sold to Cumberland Electrical Repair, Inc. by Carolina Transformer. A deed dated April 15, 1985 indicates that Cumberland Electrical Repair, Inc., operated at the site for only about four and one half months before being ordered by the courts to return the property to Carolina Transformer Company. Carolina Transformer began recycling electrical transformers and capacitors in 1967 and continued operations until 1982. During an interview on May 23, 1985, Mr. Thomas Stevens of DEM indicated that at one time Carolina Transformer Company was one of the largest firms of its type in the U.S., having clients throughout the 51832.711/WP February 17, 1994 I I ,, I I I ., I ., I ,, j ·1 .

Section 2.0 Revision No.: 0 Date: February 17, 1994 Page 5 of 13 During the course of the transformer rebuilding business, Carolina Transformer handled and stored large numbers of electrical transformers at the site which contained oil and dielectric fluids laden with PCBs. At no time during the operating period did Carolina Transformer Company apparently operate as a PCB storage and disposal site for owners of PCB transformers or PCB articles. However, it appears that as part of their rebuilding and repair operations, PCB-laden fluids were drained from transformers and not properly stored and managed. In the late 1970's, the North Carolina Department of Natural Resources and Community Development and EPA Region IV collected and analyzed numerous well water samples from nearby homes. Samples were collected during three site investigations from 1978 to 1979. The results of the analyses showed no evidence of PCBs but did uncover evidence of chlorobenzene and other chemical compounds in several of the wells. Surface water and soil/sediment samples were collected, in addition to well samples, from suspected contaminated areas onsite. Analyses of these samples confirmed the presence of PCBs. After the company made no attempts to remove or control the contaminants identified during the various site investigations, the EPA began an immediate removal action on August 13, 1984. Cleanup consisted of dewatering the contaminated swampy area of the site where PCB-contaminated surface water pooled and soaked into the soils. Approximately 975 tons of PCB-contaminated material were excavated, removed from the site, and transported to the Chemical Waste Management disposal facility in Emelle, Alabama. The excavated areas were backfilled with uncontaminated soils. The site has been vacant since 1986, and several environmental investigations have been conducted since then . 2.2.2 Remedial Investigation Results A three-phase field sampling and analysis program was conducted by Environmental Services Division, Hazardous Waste Section (ESD-HWS), EPA Region IV between August 1989 and January 1990. A draft RI report was issued in June 1990. 51832.711/WP February 17, 1994 I I t I I I I I 1.

No. 3 2.2.2. 1 Phase 1 RI Section 2.0 Revision No.: 0 Date: February 17, 1994 Page 6 of 13 The Phase 1 field investigation activities were conducted in August 1989 and included the collection of surface and subsurface soils (both onsite and offsite ), sediment samples, surface water and groundwater samples, waste samples, and wipe samples. All samples collected were analyzed for purgeable organics, acid and base/neutral extractable organic compounds, pesticides, PCBs, and metals. In addition, selected soil, sediment, and waste samples were analyzed for dioxins and furans. During the Phase 1 investigation, ESD-HWS partitioned the site into 100 foot by 100 foot grid areas and collected soil samples from the approximate center of each grid. Eleven temporary wells were installed at the approximate center of selected grids. The wells were sampled, and piezometers were ·installed to monitor the groundwater flow direction. Offsite, a grid system was established consisting of 27 grid areas. Samples were collected at depth intervals of O to 6 inches below land surface and 6 to 12 inches below land surface from each of 25 of the grid areas at the approximate center of the grid. Additionally, seven temporary wells were installed at the approximate center of selected grids. Vadose zone samples were collected from each temporary well. Five potable wells located to the north and the east of the site were also sampled. Sixteen sediment samples were collected from on and around the site. Two sediment samples were collected from Locks Creek, and nine samples were collected from the drainage ditch which traverses the site and outlets in the wooded area southwest of the site. Two samples were collected from the low lying area west of the site and one sample was taken from a marsh area north of the site. Two samples were also collected from the drainage ditches beside Middle Road. A total of thirteen surface water samples were collected during the Phase 1 RI field work. The sampling locations were the same as for the sediment samples, except that no surface water samples were collected from the Middle Road drainage ditches and only one sample was collected from Locks Creek. 51832.7)1/WP February 17, 1994 I I •• j I I I :I I I I ., I I .I I I I I Draft Work Plan Carolina Transformer Site -Remedial Design ARCs IV -EPA Contract No. 68-W9-0055 Work Assignment No. 18-4NC2; Rev.

Three of the tanks, five transformers, and the pit were sampled. One of the tanks and one of the transformers were empty, and so were not sampled. Three buildings are present 6nsite, which were used as storage and work areas. Three samples were scraped from the soil and debris remaining on the floor of the main building. One composite soil/debris sample was scraped from the floors of the three bays in the maintenance building, and one soil/debris sample was collected from the small brick building used to burn insulation off wire and other electrical components to recover the metals. Three wipe samples were also collected from the walls inside the main building. 2.2.2.2 Phase 2 RI The field activities associated with Phase 2 of the RI investigation were conducted in November 1989. These activities included the collection of onsite surface and subsurface soil samples. All samples collected were analyzed for PCBs. Using data assimilated during the Phase 1 RI work, the site was divided into 50 foot by 50 grids for sampling purposes. A total of 123 samples were collected from 62 grid locations. Samples were collected from O to 2 inches below land surface and 8 to 10 inches below land surface at each grid location. 55 of these samples were collected for PCB analysis using a screening method designed for an onsite laboratory. 2.2.2.3 Phase 3 RI Five permanent monitoring wells were installed around the site during this phase of the RI investigation. These well locations were surveyed, and a potentiometric surface was developed. The general direction of the groundwater flow was determined to be to the northeast toward Locks Creek. Samples were collected from each of the wells, and were analyzed for purgeable organic compounds, acid base/neutral extractable organic compounds, pesticides, PCBs, and metals. An additional 55 soil samples were collected from 24 offsite locations. These samples were predominantly taken in and adjacent to the drainage ditch south of the site. 51832.711/WP February 17, 1994 I I I I l ·1 - I I I I I I Draft Work Plan Carolina Transformer Site -Remedial Design ARCs IV -EPA Contract No. 68-W9-0055 Work Assignment No. 18-4NC2; Rev.

All soil samples were analyzed for PCBs only. Results of the RI indicated significant contamination resulting from past site activities and that further action was warranted. 2.2.3 Baseline Risk Assessment The Baseline Risk Assessment for the site was completed in March 1991 by BVWS under EPA Contract 68-W9-0055, Work Assignment No. 06-4LN3. The assessment used data compiled during the RI investigations listed above and evaluated the risks to human health and the environment from contaminants present at the site. Contaminants presenting an elevated risk to human health and the environment were identified and are listed in Table 2-1. Elevated risks were determined by comparison of the Hazard Index computed for each exposure scenario to a threshold value of 1. Carcinogenic risks were deemed excessive when the computed value for a risk scenario exceeded the EPA benchmark range for Superfund sites of 1 x 10·4 to 1 x 10·6. Human health risks scenarios were quantitatively analyzed and ecological risk scenarios were qualitatively analyzed. The baseline risk assessment determined that elevated levels of several organic and inorganic contaminants detected in the groundwater _presented excessive chronic and carcinogenic risks to human health. Excessive carcinogenic risks from exposure to onsite and offsite soils and sediments were also determined, and are due principally to elevated concentrations of PCBs and dioxins/furans. The surface water contamination was determined to be the result of cross-media contamination from the contaminated soils and sediments in the area. 2.2.4 Feasibility Study BVWS completed the Draft Feasibility Study for the Carolina Transformer site in March 1991 under EPA Contract 68-W9-0055, Work Assignment No. 06-4LN3.

No. 3 2-2_5 Record Of Decision (ROD) Section 2.0 Revision No.: 0 Date: February 17, 1994 Page 11 of 13 The Record Of Decision Remedial Alternative Selection for the Carolina Transformer site was signed by Greer Tidwell, Regional Administrator for EPA Region IV, on August 29, 1991. The major components of the selected remedies for groundwater and soil are as follows: Excavation of the contaminated soil/sediment and use of a solvent extraction process to separate organic contaminants such as PCBs, dioxins/furans, volatile organics, and polynuclear aromatic compounds from the soil and sediment. The process will convert inorganic contaminants such as lead and copper to lower solubility hydroxides, thereby reducing their mobility. TCLP will be run on the treated soil and sediment prior to the return to its original location to determine if it meets RCRA Toxicity Characteristic Rule. Soil and Sediments not meeting the Toxicity Rule will be solidified. The contaminant rich waste stream will be transported offsite for treatment. Demolition of the roofs and walls of the three onsite buildings. The debris will be crushed and transported to an offsite landfill. If the remaining slabs are found to be contaminated they will be treated with a solvent washing system to extract the PCBs. P Removal of the debris and solid waste from the site, which will be transported to an offsite landfill for disposal or treatment in accordance with RCRA 40CFR 264, Subpart O and 40CFR 761, (a)(4) .... P Installation of groundwater extraction wells in conjunction with a two component treatment system to remove metals and organic contaminants. Additional monitoring wells will be installed into the lower aquifer to confirm its status. If it is found to be contaminated, the groundwater 51832.711/WP February 17, 1994 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Draft Work Plan Carolina Transformer Site -Remedial Design ARCs IV -EPA Contract No. 68-W9-0055 Work Assignment No. 18-4NC2; Rev.

The treated groundwater will be discharged to the Fayetteville Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW), or the unnamed tributary to the Cape Fear River. Only the first three items are addressed in this Work Plan. Groundwater issues will be addressed in a separate WA. 2.2.6 Post-RI/Pre-RD Investigation A field investigation was conducted by BVWS during February 1993 as part of the initial scoping for this work assignment in order. to augment the data previously collected during the RI process. One shallow monitoring well, two shallow soil borings, and one deep soil boring were drilled and samples were collected and analyzed during the post-RI investigation. The soil and groundwater samples were analyzed for volatile organics, acid base/neutral extractable organics, pesticides, PCBs, and total metals. Total organic carbon analyses were performed on selected soils samples. In addition, soil samples were collected for physical analyses including permeability, moisture content, grain size distribution, and Atterburg Limits. The results of this work effort indicate that surface and subsurface soils are contaminated with PCBs and the groundwater in the shallow aquifer contains elevated levels of PCBs and various metals. A low permeability clay layer was enco.untered both onsite and offsite at a depth of approximately 15 to 20 feet below land surface. Indications are this clay layer may be in excess of 105 feet thick and serves to retard if not completely mitigate the downward migration of contaminants into any lower aquifers in the area. Due to the thickness of this confining clay unit and the lack of water- producing zones encountered within this unit, it was decided by EPA Region IV to not complete any deep wells. 51832.711/WP February 17, 1994 I I I I I I I I I I I I· I I I I I I I Draft Work Plan Carolina Transformer Site -Remedial Design ARCs IV -EPA Contract No. 68-W9-0055 Work Assignment No. 18-4NC2; Rev.

No. 3 3.0 REMEDIATION GOALS AND DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS 3.1 REMEDIATION OBJECTIVES In support of EPA Region IV, BVWS will perform services for the design of soils excavation and remediation required at the Carolina Transformer Superfund site in order to comply with EPA Work Assignment No. 18-4NC2, Revision No. 3 and the Record of Decision Remedial Alternatives Selection document for the site executed on August 29, 1991. The remedial design will provide for a technical specification- based method for soil excavation and a performance specification-based system for soil treatment. 3.2 SOILS/SEDIMENT EXCAVATION AND BUILDING DEMOLITION Objectives for the excavation of soils and sediments at the site include the following: n n Demolition of roofs and walls of the three onsite buildings, and subsequent crushing and transportation to an offsite landfill. Treating the foundation slabs with a solvent washing system to extract PCBs, if contamination is present. Removal of the debris and solid waste from the site, and subsequent transportation to an offsite landfill for disposal and/or treatment in accordance with RCRA 40 CFR 264 Subpart O and 40 CFR 761 (a) ( 4). Excavation of contaminated soils and sediments with PCB concentrations exceeding 1 ppm, and stockpiling the soils onsite and on adjoining property if necessary. The remedial design efforts of this phase will focus on developing a set of technical specifications for the building demolition and soil and sediment excavation. These specifications will include the minimum requirements for the building demolition and soil excavation activities. 51832.711/WP Februaiy 17, 1994 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Draft Work Plan Carolina Transformer Site -Remedial Design ARCs IV -EPA Contract No. 68-W9-0055 Work Assignment No. 18-4NC2; Rev.

No. 3 3_2_3 Easements It is anticipated that easement purchases will be required to meet remediation goals. Easements will likely be required for offsite contaminated areas, as well as for areas used in stockpiling excavated soils. This process is anticipated to be time consuming and will be initiated .by BVWS early in the design process. 3.2.4 Leachate and Infiltration Control of Stockpiled Soils Excavated soils will remain stockpiled while samples are being analyzed. This presents the need for leachate and infiltration control. It is anticipated that this control will include placing excavated soils onto an impermeable liner within a bermed area, and covering the stockpiles and/or installing a leachate collection system. 3.3 SOILS/SEDIMENT TREATMENT Objectives for the treatment of soils and sediments at the site include the following: n Treat excavated soils/sediments with a solvent extraction process that is capable of removing the organic contaminants. The extraction process must also be capable of converting the inorganic contaminants (metals) to lower solubility hydroxides in order to reduce their mobility. Return treated soils and sediments to their original locations upon satisfactory treated as determined by the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) analysis. Soils and sediments not meeting the requirements after TCLP analysis will be solidified and transported offsite to a licensed facility for disposal as a hazardous waste. The waste stream generated from the solvent extraction process will be transported offsite for disposal as a hazardous waste at a licensed facility. The remedial design efforts will focus on developing a performance type specification for the soil and sediment washing process to be implemented in order to achieve the 51832. 71 !/WP February 17, 1994 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Draft Work Plan Carolina Transformer Site -Remedial Design ARCs IV -EPA Contract No. 68-W9-0055 Work Assignment No. 18-4NC2; Rev.
