I I I I \ I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I JACQUELYN RUTGERS CLARKSON, Sc.D. I • ' DIRECTOR OF RISK ASSESSMENT SERVICES/ VICE PRESIDENT I EDUCATION: Sc.D., Environmental Epidemiology, Tulane 1 University, New Orleans M.S.P.H., Health Systems Management and Epidemiology, Tulane University, New Orleans B.S. History and Psychology, Louisiana Stat~ University SUMMARY: I Dr. Clarkson has over 22 years_ of experience\in the assessment of public health and ecological effects of toxic chemical exposures. Her expfrtise includes the fields of environmental epidemiology, public health management and communication, risk assessment, and • I environmental toxicology. Her research and field experience includes the performance of human health and ecological risk assessment activiti6s during investigations of waste sites, and I assessment of potential health effects from chemical spills and accidental releases, the I investigation of disease clusters (e.g. cancer c/usters; adverse reproductive outcomes such as miscarriages, stillbirths, or bi11h defects; respi,ratory ailments, etc.), and the development and presentation of risk communication programs! Dr. Clarkson has written and published numerous technical papers concerning public health effJcts, risk communication, and human health and ecological risk assessments .. She has also gi v6n many presentations and conducted numerous workshops on these subjects' at regional and nktional conferences. I EXPERIENCE: Montgomery Watson Director of Risk Assessment: For the past ten lyears, Dr. Clarkson has coordinated all risk assessment services for Montgomery Watson Industrial/Hazardous Waste offices worldwide. I These services include human and ecological risk assessments, probabilistic risk assessment, risk communication, risk management, and envirorimental epidemiology investigations. She provides direction to improve the technical capabilities of the industrial and hazardous waste services group and to identify and develop inn6vation and guidance for all risk assessment projects. She also functions as a specialist to p\-ovide Risk Communication expertise to all I branch offices. I I . Principal Environmental Epidemiologist: Dr. (Clarkson has experience directing numerous I human and ecological risk assessment studies for both inactive waste sites and operational projects for both government and industrial cli6nts. In addition, she is a veteran of over 1,000 I public meetings where she has been responsible for communicating possible environmental health risks to the public. Her expertise in risk ~ommunication is based on practical experience which includes knowing which communication techniques have been successful. D I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Since 1982, Dr. Clarkson has designed, con'.ducted, directed, and reviewed numerous human health and ecological risk assessments for state and federal National Priority List (NPL)-sites, I abandoned/inactive waste sites and operatin'g facilities throughout the U.S. For the past eight years, this work has included projects for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). She has completed risk assessments for the USA CE :Baltimore, Omaha, Huntsville, Sacramento, and Alaska divisions. These assessments involv'ed soil, groundwater, sediment, surface water and biota sampling and analysis, and hydrogeolrigic investigations. She was also responsible for the management and the communication of thes~ risks. I Dr. Clarkson has conducted and directed public health and environmental risk assessment work I for numerous Department of Defense (DOD) sites throughout the U.S., including Federal Facilities Agreement (FFA), Installation Restoration Program (IRP), and NPL-sites throughout I the U.S. She has designed, directed, conducted, and/or reviewed human health and ecological risk assessment activities during multiple phhses of Remedial Investigation Feasibility Studies (Rl/FS) activities for numerous sites at Fort ~tory and Fort Eustis in Virginia, the Northeast Cape in Alaska, Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada, Toole Army Depot in Utah, Tracy Army Installation, Sierra Army Depot and Moffet ~aval Air Station in northern California, and Point Mugu Naval Installation, Port Hueneme Navfll Installation, China Lake Naval Air Station, George Air Force Base in southern Californi~, Savanna Army Depot Activity Old Burning Ground, IL, Joliet Army Ammunition Plant, -f oliet, IL, Marion Engineer Depot and Scioto Ordnance Plant, Marion, OH, and the Presidio. George Air Force Base included three separate ' I operable units consisting of over 65 individual sites, for which human health and ecological risk assessments were performed. Several ofthes~ FFA sites have included various areas used for I munitions demilitarization such as open burning/open detonation (OB/OD). The Rl/FS and risk assessment activities have also been conductdd at other types of sites including abandoned landfills, chemical burial sites, a fire-fighting 1training site, and former chemical storage areas. Some of these sites have included ecological ~tudies in sensitive wetlands. Chemicals of concern I include UXO, EOW, various metals, solvents) pesticides, dioxins, polycyclic aromatic • I hydrocarbons (PAHs), and other petroleum hydrocarbons. , Her work at Hill AFB in Utah included desigj and methodology development for risk I assessment and risk communication services for several Hill AFB Operable Units in support of ' investigations of groundwater contamination fpr these operations. Dr. Clarkson has assessed the potential risks associated with TCE in the soil; the potential for metals to accumulate in cattle and fields in a nearby agricultural area, and thJ potential for chemicals to migrate from disposal pits and landfills and adversely affect nearby Jff-site residents. This work at Hill AFB also included a risk assessment of a Thermal Treatrilent Unit. This study was designed to determine the concentrations of air polluta~ts derived fro/n open burning and detonation. In the risk I assessment, which was in support of a RCRA Part B Permit, potential health effects to people working at the facility and to nearby residents ~ere assessed. I Dr. Clarkson has also performed risk assessmeL work at the Defense Depot in Ogden, Utah ' I (DDOU) on low-level groundwater and soil contaminants from solvent and pesticides at this site. I She utilized models for screening groundwater and analyzing vadose zone leaching. She also evaluated risk to on-site workers using air disp6rsion and soil emissions modeling. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I She has performed several risk assessments for the evaluation of selected NPL-sites in the San Fernando Valley in Southern California. The basin-wide assessment for this 300,000-acre site of suburban, commercial, and industrial zoned\land was extensive. The groundwater in this basin provides 15 percent of the water supply for the City of Los Angeles. This extensive assessment I aided in management of this water resource and saved the City millions of dollars in planning and management costs. . · I Dr. Clarkson has been working on risk asseJment projects in Alaska since 1990. The risk assessments prepared for Kaneckaneck Hos~ital in Dillingham and the Northeast Cape on St. I Lawrence Island were project work for US ACE Alaska. For both of these projects, potential risks to human and ecological receptors wer~ evaluated. Other work includes a human and I ecological risk assessment for the Anchorage International Airport and development of the North ' Slope background metals database for ARCO Oil Company. I I Since 1991, Dr. Clarkson has been involved in the performance and overall management of 16 ' sites at Homestead Air Force Base, a large NPL-site in Florida for the USACE Omaha. These assessments have evaluated a variety of potential contaminants, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and heavy metals such as arsenic. She has actively participated in the ' negotiation of cleanup goals with the USEPA1, Region IV, State of Florida, and Dade County environmental regulators. She has also provided risk assessment technical support for feasibility studies and record of decision (ROD) documdnts and risk communication guidance for public ' meetings. Dr. Clarkson has conducted preliminary risk evaluations (PREs) for 5 additional P NSI sites which resulted in the elimination bf three sites from further investigation. This work saved the government potentially $300k in unhecessary remedial investigation studies and reporting. For the past year, ,she has been diretting human health and ecological risk assessments I for another Region IV site at Dobbins Air Reserve Base in Georgia. She has also provided ' technical support in the preparation of six NFRAP (no further response action planned) decision documents for this base. Dr. Clarkson designed and directed extensive risk assessment and risk communication work for a remedial investigation of a f~rmer petroleum r~finery site in Louisiana, of which two-thirds of the 1,000-acre site was composed of forested Jetlands and assessment activities included ecological studies. This risk ~ssessment work kaved the client upwards of $10 to $20 million cleanup costs, because the risk assessment supported long-term, low cost management of the 800-acre wetlands instead of more aggressive remedial options. She has also been involved in a study for a risk-based variance request at a petr6chemical manufacturing site in Louisiana. Her work for this project included risk assessment rind modeling for groundwater and air emissions. ' Dr. Clarkson has recently completed the first RBCA approved closure for a petroleum site in the State of Louisiana. This project included grouridwater modeling and risk assessment activities. This work saved the client about $500k in remcival costs because risk-based closure supported a no further action remedial option. Other risk assessment experief!Ce has included toxicological support for determining acceptable risk-based concentrations of PCBs in soil and p~ving at Gulf Coast utility and development sites and a baseline risk assessment of intrinsic toxic61ogical and chemical properties of selected contaminants. Dr. Clarkson has designed and ilicorporated the use of soil-gas data in a health- I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I based risk assessment of landfill and non-landfill areas at an agricultural storage facility in ' Fresno, California. She has also directed a risk assessment for a proposed groundwater reclamation and reuse project in which solvdnts had contaminated the aquifer. In her principal ' role in the Palo Alto (CA) Incinerator project, she analyzed emission data gathered by the State of California and Montgomery Watson to as~ess the risk from cadmium and other substances created during the incineration of municipal \ivastes. In addition to her risk assessment role, she provided guidance on commuriication strategies for meetings with the surrounding community and with incinerator workers on possible risks associated with site operations. Her expertise was also used to.perform a riJ assessment for an ongoing municipal wastewater ' and residuals handling prnject in which a slu?ge incinerator was proposed for a residential area. Her work in these studies involved site and laboratory research techniques to determine tox\cological profiles of the contaminants of toncern in the risk assessment. Dr. Clarkson has also developed a qualitative risk assessment for a municipal landfill site and a tailings area involving techniques for sampling leachates; 1stream, ground, well, and surface water; and determining potential huma~ exposure pathw~ys. She has also designed and directed a baseline risk assessment to determine risk to human population and the environment at a former electronic manufacturing facility"in California. Dr. Clarkson has conducted numerous epidemiologic investigations related to potential public I health risks and exposure to toxic chemicals. 1For example, in response to concerns expressed by I residents of St. Gabriel, Louisiana over what they perceived to be an elevated rate of miscarriage in their community and a possible relationship to air contaminants, an epidemiological investigation was conducted' (St. Gabriel Missarriage Investigation, East Bank of Iberville Parish, Louisiana). This investigation determined if the rates of miscarriage and still births were in ' excess of those expected on the basis of historical records of results of other studies of fetal loss. On the basis on analysis of these date and critJria established before the investigation, the rates found were judged not to be elevated and further study of miscarriages in the area was not recommended. The results of the study were dommunicated to the residents in a series of meetings, with ample time for questions. The 1resolution of this investigation was considered successful by all involved parties. \ ' Dr. Clarkson has served as a technical advisor lin the risk assessment and risk communication to the San Francisco Watershed-Management Plah Project. Montgomery Watson assisted the City and County of San Francisco Water Departmeiit in the development of comprehensive management plans for the Peninsula and Alambda Watersheds. These lands provide water for ' 2.3 million homes and businesses in San Francisco, and portions of San Mateo, Santa Clara, and Alameda counties. Dr. Clarkson provided exp6rtise in the areas of risk assessment, risk communication, and risk ma;agement. She is hlso providing similar technical support to the Contra Costa Watershed Management Project. I She performed a qualitative risk assessment for drinking water sources in the Los Vaqueros Water District, in Contra Costa County, California which helped to prioritize limited resources for:remedial decision-making. Both of these projects included risk evaluation of potential watershed 1concerns such as Cryptosporidium, Giardia, and other microbiological pathogens; semi-volatile 1organics; and pesticides. ' I I R I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I For the past four years, Dr. Clarkson has b~en conducting work for Ciba-Geigy on a national human exposure assessment of atrazine and simazine in ground and surface drinking water. Work entailed collection of monitoring dat4 from drinking water supplies and entry into a Population-Linked Exposure (PLEX) database in order to provide a direct link between the I potentially exposed population and the concentration of atrazine and simazine in a drinking water source. The update and analysis of this datlbase is to continue through 1998. This database is helping to focus risk man~gement strategie~ at the local or community level so that real public health risk can be abated. The construction \of the database allows for the continued monitoring of potable drinking water supplies for exposure over time and therefore, PLEX represents an I excellent public health decision-making too! for multiple risk management decisions. This comprehensive picture of ttiazine exposure for the U.S. population is without precedent. In addition, Dr. Clarkson is currently providing litigation support in environmental epidemiology and risk assessment for several other Ciba-Geigy cases. . I Dr. Clarkson has performed numerous publit health assessments for the purposes of reviewing state and federal regulations. This work included the review of epidemiologic information I pertaining to human exposure to dioxin and presenting testimony at the Louisiana Department of I • Environmental Quality Administrative Heatings on dioxin water regulations. She was contracted by the legal firm representing all pulp and pdper mills in Louisiana. She was also retained by the American Mining Congress to provide inforrilation evaluating regulations of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency proposed ~timary drinking regulations for sulfates. She performed a critical literature review of health effects of sulfates in drinking water and her I evaluation forms the basis of the position statement for the position statement for the American Mining Congress. Dr. Clarkson has directed numerous risk asse,ssment projects throughout the world for various industrial facilities, particularly in the Netherlands, Belgium, and the United Kingdom. She has provided technical support to the EPA ofTai!.van in its development of soil remediation guidelines and in the development of water rdsource data systems for public health decision making. She is also working .with Montgomery Watson offices in the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand on projects invol~ing the development of strategies for contaminated land.

He is intehrntionally known for his work on the subsurface behavior of heavy metals and radionuclides! and has developed innovative approaches for in-situ remediation in soil and ground water. Mr. Rouse has authored more than 50 publications, dealing primarily with the subject of n~tural and man-aided attenuation of heavy metal radiochemical, and cyanide contamination Jnd vadose zone monitoring. He has made a number of presentations to technical meetings and dught numerous short courses. He has been qualified as an expert witness approximately 30 tiriies, in the area of heavy metal and radiochemical migration and remediation. EXPERIENCE: Hexavalent Chromium Remediation in Soil and Ground Water Indiana, Michigan, Maryland, Californi~, South Australia, Texas, Florida, Georgia, New Zealand Mr. Rouse has been involved in investigations, design, and operation of in-situ remediation ' systems for soil and ground water contamination at more than a dozen sites at the indicated locations. These are in geological environriiental ranging from low permeability silts and clays to uniform, permeable glacial outwash sandd, and includes karst limestone. Geohydrological and Geochemical Evalultions of Prior Mining Activities I Arizona, South Dakota, Idaho, Colorado, New Mexico, Florida, Canada, Australia Mr. Rouse has directed a, number of exteLive evaluations of the impact of past and present mining operations on surface and ground wdter. One of these involved is the evaluation of Ian 18-mile section of Whitewood Creek in western South Dakota, the site of approximately 17 million tons of arsenic-bearing tailings. As a result 0 R I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I of these efforts, U.S. EPA Region VIII isLed a Record of Decision that allows the tailings to remain in place. I I Another study involved a 550 square mile; area in eastern Arizona, drained by ·Pinto and Pinal Creeks. The study spanned 3 years and involved drilling more than 50 wells, sampling the new • I wells and 50 existing wells, and operating 3I streams gaging stations. Other studies have involved the Bunker Hill (Idaho), Silver Bow Creek (Montana), San Juan Mountains (Colorado), Grants Mineral Beltj (New Mexico), and Central Florida phosphate areas, as well as sites in Canada and Australia. I In-Situ Fixation of Uranium and Molybd~num • I Canon City, Colorado I Past uranium milling activities had resulted,in the presence of mobile uranium and molybdenum in a sandstone and siltstone unsaturated zohe. A remedial scheme was designed, constructed, and operated involving th~ percolation of }eductant solution to geochemically immobilize the metals in place. , I Geohydrological Evaluation and Remedia1tion of Cyanide Western South Dakota and Idaho Mr. Rouse has investigated the source and migration of cyanide from gold leaching operations, ' and has achieved cyanide remediation through chemical oxidation and bioremidation. I I Evaluation and Permitting of Fly Ash Disposal in Coal Mine Pit Eastern Texas Mr. Rouse directed the geohydrological evaluation of the potential impacts of returning power- plant fly ash to adjacent coal mine pit spoil aieas. The result was the first permit to conduct such disposal in Texas. Binding Arbitration of Water Quality Control California Mr. Rouse serves as a water,quality specialist 1 in binding arbitration between two major industrial clients over potential impacts one firm's operation might have on the water supply of the second firm. · D I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I PUBLICATIONS: "In-Situ Remediation o( Chromium Contaminated Soil and Groundwater" (March 1999), I Proceedings of the 1999 Contaminated Site Remediation Conference 'Challenges Posed by I Urban and Industrial Contaminants"', Edited by C.

Montgomery Watson is presently involved with an extensive Ecologickl Risk Assessment at the Former Homestead Air Force Base. The ERA is evaluating :the impacts of the storm water conveyance system (OU-9 Boundary Canal), the tributary! feeder canals, and the Outfall Canal. The Outfall Canal is the primary conveyance of storm water from the former AFB to Biscayne Bay I National Park. Furthermore, prior fo 1983, the Outfall Canal received treated effluent from the former base :wastewater treat1ent plant. lhe area under investigation is presently receiving attention from various citizen groups and regulatory agencies, due to the uncertainty regarding the redevelopmeht of the former AFB. Stakeholders have failed to reach consensus regarding the extent ahd sources 'for environmental impacts as a result of I contaminated sediments and sediment transport into Biscayne Bay. Primary chemicals of concern include semi-volatile organic 6ompounds, mercury, cadmium, chromium, copper, and silver. I I . Montgomery Watson spearheaded.the formulation of a technical advisory group composed of USEPA Region 4, FDEP, Miami Dade Environmental Resource Management (DERM), USEPA Emergency Response Team, arid Air Force Representatives. The goal of the team is to develop an ecological risk assessmbnt in accor,dance with the USPEA 1997 Ecological Risk Assessment Process Guidance Doc~ment. It should also be noted that the two primary USEPA authors (Mark Sprenger and Da~id Charters) are members. I . Montgomery Watson has provided re~edial inve~tigation and baseline risk assessment through record of decision at 22 Oper~ble Units. Operable Units have included former landfills, hardfill areas, a former base s6wage treatment plant and incinerator ash disposal area, entomology shops, electroplating fricilities, fire protection training areas, underground storage tank sites, and aircraft washrricks. Contaminants of concern include VOCs, pesticides, metals, primarily arsenic, and!polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbon compounds. I Montgomery Watson is presently involv~d with a natural attenuation study of the Flightline Apron that formerly utilized 26 lateral fuel distribution lines for the refueling and defueling of military aircraft. The fuel distributiJn lines were decommissioned in 1994; however, leaks from these lines have resulted in ~eas of localized contamination above regulatory limits. Restoration of the site will includ~ an interim remedial action program to remediate two source areas, short-term extraction ahd treatment of approximately 300,000 gallons of groundwater, and two years of natural attinuation monitoring and reporting. · I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Montgomery Watson is an active participant in the community relations, developing public ' announcement and fact sheets for distribution. to the community and the restoration advisory board. Montgomery Watson! is also a member of the Base Closure Team (BCT) which comprised of Air Force, AFCEE, USEPA, state of Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP), land Miami-Dade Department of Environmental Restoration Management personnel. I · Cape Canaveral Air Station, Florida! Montgomery Watson is presently invol~ed with the interim remedial actions at eight launch complexes at Cape Canaveral Air Station, Florida. The primary purpose of the removal actions is to minfmize immediate threilt of exposure to PCB impacted soils by ecologi~al ' receptors. Tasks include the delineation of PCB (TSCA vs. non-TSCA) excavation, transportation, and disposal of more thin 20,000 tons of contaminated soils. In addition, a gopher tortoise surveys and relocation plan was de~eloped for this effort due to the number of burrows identified at four of the coniplexes. The relocation plan is pending submittal to the state and fish and wildlife agency fdr approval. Engineering Evaluation/Cost Analysi) (EE/CA) Lead Contaminated Soil I Savanna Army Depot Activity (SVDA) Savanna, Illinois The SVDA is a U.S. Government property selected for closure by the Base Realignment and ' Closure (BRAC) Commission under Public Laws 100-526 and 101-510. The property was purchased by the U.S. Army in 1917 andJhas been used as a proof and test facility for artillery guns .and ammunition; ordnance storage ,facilities; facilities for loading and renovating shells and bombs; receive, store, issue and demilitarize ·conventional ammunition and general I supplies; manufacture,' procure, and m<\intain ammunition peculiar equipment; and repair parts for worldwide U.S. Department of E>efense support. I I In an agreement with the Illinois Envi~onmental Protection Agency (!EPA) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), Region V, a Demonstration Project (DP) was conducted in 1995 whereby approximat61y 20,000 cy of contaminated sandy soil from an Open Burning Ground were excavated, sc'.reened to remove ordnance debris, and stockpiled in a Soil Redeposition Area (SRA). I Five areas were excavated and processedlas part of the DP. Three areas designated El, E2, and E3, were excavated within a portioh of the OBG site. Additional excavations were conducted in an area designated S l to I construct a building in which to conduct sifting operations, and a designated Roadw1y Modification Area (RMA) associated with construction of the Sifting Plant. Soils rkmoved from El, E2, E3, S l, and the RMA were ' ' segregated and stockpiled in the SRA. The SRA is partitioned to separate soils according to their source area and is covered with a tarp. I 2 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I ' ' I I I I Toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP) results from random testing of the SRA soils performed by the United States Airny Corps of Engineers (USA CE) during August 1996 I indicated lead levels above the USEPA TCLP criteria for hazardous waste (5 mg/L) and the I ' ~ IEPA 35 lAC Part 721. Based on the 1996 sampling results 17,000 cy of the 20,000 cy were classified as a characteristic hazardous lvaste. The,USEPA and the IEPA have stated that the SRA pile constitutes a non-compliant! Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) waste pile. In order to comply with Agbncy directives, the Army proposed a non-time-critical ' removal action to reduce the potential tt\rcat from the SRA lead-soil pile. The initial project concept (by anothL consultant) involved the on-site stabilization of 17,000 cy of soil to reduce the TCLP ield concentration such that the soil no longer exhibited the characteristic of a hazardous wastd, and would not be classified as a hazardous waste. After stabilization, the soil would be disposed off-site at a solid waste landfill. On behalf of the SVDA and USACE,\ Montgomery Watson performed remedial activities which included: • Montgomery Watson reviewed the existing analytical results, and performed additional sampling and analy~is at one of the five soil stockpiles. Based on these activities, and the interpretatioh of data presented by Montgomery Watson, four of the five soil stockpiles were ciassified as solid waste, and therefore did not require stabilization prior to disposal. I The volurrie of soil classified as a hazardous waste was reduced from 17,000 cy to 6,300 cy. This revised approach was approved by ' the USEP A and IEP A. I I . • Prepared an EE/CA Approval lylemorandum. I • Prepared an EE/CA as required for non-time-critical removal actions. The EE/CA identified, screened, and evaiudted removal action alternatives. • Provided community relations and admiriistrati ve record support to the SVDA, including support during the 30iday public comment period. • Prepared an Action MemorandJm after completion of the public comment period. The initial project cost estimate was $2l800,000. ~ased on Mo~tgomery Watson's value engineering actions, the revised project tost estimate was $1,900,000, a savings of nearly $) ,000,000. · · I · I 3 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Site Cleanup and Expedited Removal American Chemical Service, Inc. I Superfund Site ! Griffith, Indiana I Montgomery Watson has been invo!Jed in the project for the last five years, conducting remedial investigations and feasibility studies, ·negotiating a Record of Decision, and ' providing strategic planning for the PRP Group. An RI/FS Work Plan had been developed I . by U.S. EPA's contractor, however, Montgomery Watson was able to negotiate a reduce work scope by convincing the agency !that the site could be adequately defined by a .lesser level of effort. At a later date, the U.S. EPA issued a Proposed Plan to remediate the site, subsequent to which the Record of Dbcision was issued. The PRPs were then given the ' opportunity to perform the remedy. Montgomery Watson assisted the PRPs through the following actions: \ , • I • Prepared comments on the Proposed Plan. . I • Performed treatabilty studies to evaluate selected technologies. • Performed supplemental soil sampling. • Prepared a Good Faith Offer/Statement of Work. • Negotiated with U.S. EPA. j I I Montgomery Watson was retained by a group of PRPs to complete the remedial design/remedial action (RD/RA) phas~s for the cleanup of a solvent reclaiming facility in ' Indiana. The remedy selected by EPA includes excavation and low temperature thermal ' desorption of waste, excavation and disposal of buried drums, dewatering and soil vapor extraction of contaminated soils, and e)(traction and treatment of contaminated groundwater ' followed by discharge to a wetlands or surface water body. Montgomery Watson's strategy is to expedite the implementation of th~ relatively low cost components of the remedy, such I as installing a fence and the groundwater pump and treat system, and then conduct field ' scale treatability tests to evaluate whether or not the high cost components of the remedy ' (i.e., excavation and low temperature thermal desorption) are really feasible for the site. The treatability tests will also provide information to develop a better estimate for the true cost for the excavation and low temp~rature thermal treatment. A recent phase of work involved designing and implementing] a 16-foot deep by 1,200-foot long groundwater interceptor trench and a state-of-the-art groundwater treatment system. To expedite the ' groundwater pump and treat system, Montgomery'Watson completed this activity using a Design/Build approach. By utilizing the Design/Build approach, Montgomery Watson will save the client ' approximately $400,000 in design and construction management costs. Montgomery Watson saved the client approximately [$100,000 by convincing the agency that extensive investigation of the lower aquifer was not warranted. ' 4 I I I I I I I I I g n 0 D D m I I I . I I RI/FS and a CERCLA Removal Action Industrial Facility Groundwater Problem Beloit Corporation and Hamischfeg~r Industries, Inc. I Beloit Corporation's Research and Development and Manufacturing Facility located in Rockton, Illinois is a NPL site due t6 the presence of VOCs detected at several private ' ' wells in an adjacent subdivision. Three phases of an investigation have resulted in identifying and characterizing a soufce and plume of VOCs limited to the industry's property. Groundwater flow was shown not to occur toward the private wells. The lead agency hypothesized the presence of alpooled DNAPL to explain movement of VOCs at a right angle to the groundwater gradient. A removal action is currently being implemented ' ' to control the source and contain the plume. The removal action will become a part of the final ROD. I ' • Successfully negotiated with lthe lead agency to accept the use of cost effective field screening of VOCs to help evaluate potential source areas through soil gas ' and groundwater screening. Effectively 'screening several potential source areas and limiting the number of expensive wells and CLP lab samples. • The remedial investigation idJntified and characterized a source and groundwater -' ~ plume of VOCs on our client's property, and documented that no pooled DNAPL existed at the site. • Successfully, negotiated use of a removal action to initiate a removal action for groundwater containment, pre~ared and submitted the Engineering Evaluation and Cost Evaluation (EE/CA) -o)ily the third one in Region V. The EE/CA is a streamlined FS for a removal a'ction. Elimination of the potential for a pool!d DNAPL,reduces our client's investigation costs and improves the potential for limiteq remedial ,actions. Implementation of a removal action allows our client to initiate a remedy several years before completion of the RI/FS, I ' ROD, and RD/RA process. The benefit of the removal action is: to reduce the costs and simplify the review and approval process of what will probably be the primary final , I remedy; and to reduce our client's liability for potential off site VOC impacts. I We utilized technical and regulatory stra,tegy tools to limit our client's liability for actual or potential off site groundwater contamination. Use of a removal action is being used to implement a groundwater remedy much\rapidly and for lower cost than under the RD/RA process. This initiates early control and cleanup of a groundwater plume that was potentially moving off-site.
