Tobin Director, Waste Management Division U.S. EPA Region IV 345 Courtland St., N.E. Atlanta, GA 30365 May 18, 1988 I Re: Sodyeco Superfund Site I I .. I I I I I I .. I I Dear Mr. Tobin: In a conference call on Friday, May 13, 1988, between myself and John Dickinson, Jeff Crane, and Giezelle Bennett of EPA, we concluded that the RCRA permit modification process would cause undue delay in initiating the CERCLA remediation. Mr. Dickinson requested that we write to you about this matter. In September, 1987 EPA issued the Record of Decision (ROD) for the Sodyeco Superfund Site, now c~lled the Mount Holly Plant of Sandoz Chemicals Corporation. The ROD specified, in general terms, the remedial activities to be performed and a recommended schedule for work to proceed. The ROD also specified that the work was to be conducted under an amendment to the RCRA Part B permit. It had been our understanding both from language in the ROD and from discussions with RCRA staff that activities specified in the ROD would proceed under our RCRA permit once it was issued. Unfortunately, the RCRA Permit, which is very close to becoming effective, would need to be modified if it is to specifically address the ROD remediations. Sandoz is in favor of proceeding with remedial activities as expeditiously as possible, but in any event at a pace that is technically feasible under the RCRA program without a RCRA permit modification. We do feel that it is important to secure some type of approval from EPA's RCRA staff of the planned remedial activities before they are initiated. However, since much of the remediation is going to be performance based (using ARAR clean-up standards), we believe approval of the general remedial methods and goals should be sufficient for both parties. Sandoz has continued CERCLA work both through collection of additional evaluation of remedial alternatives. since issuance of the ROD, field data and in Surface water samples I .. I I I I I I I .. I I I I 2 continue to show no indicator parameters present in either Long Creek or the Catawba River. A repeat soil sample taken in area C in the area that was believed to be the most contaminated showed much lower contamination levels than previously found. The soil treatment options listed in the FS have been further studied. Each of the four options appears to have some inherent problems. The effectiveness of soil flushing is not easily verifiable, and concerns about this concept have been expressed by the State. The in-situ steam stripping effectiveness is also hard to verify for our particular circumstances. Thermal treatment is likely to be slow and difficult to implement because of permitting considerations and constraints. The logistics and mechanics of material handling associated with soil washing make it less attractive. Since the issuance of the ROD, two other treatment options have been looked at. Biological treatment (which was listed as composting in the FS) appears to be an effective option. Biological treatment was evaluated this winter in a treatability study that we feel strongly supports this concept. In-situ vacuum extraction also appears to be a viable option based on clean-ups of chemical leaks into soil accomplished with this technology. Sandoz has obtained proposals and quotes for utilizing each of these technologies to remediate the soil in area C of our site. We believe either of the methods in this paragraph would be acceptable and could be initiated, with your agency's approval, ahead of the ROD schedule. A preliminary schedule for the program is as follows: I. Groundwater Recoverv Svstem Plans Submitted EPA/State Approval Start Installation Soil Treatment (Areas C & D) Plans Submittted EPA/State Approval Start Implementation III.

Dear Mr. Archer: JThank yru for yrur letter of May 18, 1988, in which Sandoz expressed ·willingness to proceed with remedial activities (as rutlined in the Record of Decision) prior to the RCRA pennit appeal being settled. We have reviewed the program and schedules contained in the letter and hereby approve both. We are also approving yrur prcpcsal to evaluate biological treatment and in-situ vacuum extraction, since both of these technologies were considered in the Feasibility Study. We have discussed yrur prcposed program and schedules with Mr. Jerone Rhodes of North Carolina, and he concurs with rur decision to approve Sandoz's May 18, 1988, prcposal. Sandoz shruld follo,; th~.Remedial Design and Remedial Action (RDRA) guidance manual in develq:iing the program in detail. If yru have any questions abrut the RDRA guidance manual, contact Gizelle Bennett at ( 404) 347-7791. The primary contact for this work is John Dickinson of my staff. Please contact him at (404) 347-3433, if yru have any questions abcut this project. . We appreciate Sandoz' s willingness to proceed with site remediation activ-ities while the RCRA pennit appeal is being settled. It is rur under--standing that Sandoz will drcp the appeal upon receipt of final approval of the RCRA Facility Investigaticn (RFI) guidance plan of study for solid waste management units not included in the RI/FS under CERCIA. This acticn wruld be beneficial to EPA and Sandoz because the pennit cruld then provide a fonnal mechanism for approving the remedial action under RCRA at the site.

Box 3 3 7 2 6 Raleigh, N. C. 27636-3726 Attn: Ms. Debbie Migmogmo Dear Ms. Migmogmo: August 3, 1988 Sandoz Chemicals Corporation is proceeding with a "Superfund" cleanup at our Mt. Holly, N. C. plant. As a part of the EPA Record of Decision (ROD) approving our plan, Sandoz must consult with the Fish & Wildlife Service to make sure that endangered or threatened species are not adversely impacted by the project. A short description of the actions we plan to take follows. I have also included copies of relevant pages from the ROD and the Remedial Investigation . The remedial plan for A and Bare merely to put an engineered asphalt cap over the areas. Area A already has manufacturing buildings and asphalt paving, so the action here is to maintain the pavement in good condition. Area C is presently used as a gravel-surfaced parking area for trucks and trailers. Area C will be remediated by an innovative technique whereby bacteria biodegrade the contaminants. Details of this system are given in an enclosed attachment. The soil from Area C will be backfilled to its original location after the cleanup. Area D will be remediated with an innovative surfactant/ bacterial method. The soil will be used as fill after it has been cleaned. Area E. The only disturbance in this area will be that seven shallow wells will be drilled. This is a field/second growth woods area near Highway 27 transected by a drainage swale. The swale is typically dry during summer. Areas A-Dare highly disturbed areas on an industrial site. It is most unlikely that there would be pctential habitats for endangered or threatened species. Area Eis part of an old farm . It has the pctential to be wildlife habitat. However, we I .. I I I I I I I .. I I I I I I .. I I • 2 emphasize that the only activity that will go on here is that recovery and observation wells will be drilled. This will provide a very local and temporary disturbance lasting no more than 2 weeks. Impacts such as sedimentation or denudation of the ground will be mitigated. We expect the impact of the well drilling to be quite minimal. I trust that the information included in this packet is sufficient for you to make a determination concerning potential impacts on threatened or endangered species. However, if you need further information, of if I may help you in any way, please do not hesitate to call me at 704-827-9651. I would appreciate it if you could give this matter your immediate attention as we are under a time constraint from EPA. Thanks for your cooperation. JPS:aj Enclosure Sincerely, i-lI~1 J.

Ingestion is not likely but may result from the practice of poor personal hygiene. In general, the PAH' s are crystalline solids and are not highly volatile. The PAH' s of low molecular weight are an exception. Anthracene and phenanthene volatilize or sublime to form vapors in the atmosphere. In addition to the vapor, inhalation of contaminated particu-late matter is another potential hazard. High concentrations of solvents and PAH contaminants in the soil indicates that caution should be exercised during excavation in this area.

Personnel should be aware that the personal protective equipment limits dexterity and visibility, and may increase the difficulty of performing some tasks. Prudent care should be exercised when moving about machinery of any kind while wearing protective equipment. The protective equipment worn may place a physical strain on the wearer, particularly during periods of warm weather. Under these conditions, heat stress and exhaustion may occur. Heat stress may produce symptoms such as nausea, headache, weakness, dizziness, or extreme perspiration. Heat stroke, a critical situation, is characterized by a sudden lack of perspiration and requires immediate medical attention. All personnel should be monitored for heat stress by the SSO or his designee following the guidelines established for heat stress 7. 7 of this HSP and in Attachment F. See monitoring Attachment in Section F for more information concerning heat and cold stress symptoms and emergency measures. Personnel should be cognizant of wind directions and attempt to coordinate field activities and gasoline powered equipment such that exhaust fumes are located downwind. The slopes of the berms located on-site should be considered only marginally stable. Care should be taken when moving about the area. It is anticipated that contaminated soils will be relocated using a front-end loader or backhoe. As material is removed, the excavation area may become locally unstable and material may flow or slough down from higher levels. Workers and monitoring personnel should keep a safe distance from the work area. 23 I I f I I I I I n I I I I I r' I Personnel must insure that safe clearances from utility lines are maintained prior to and during excavation or other activities. Care must be taken to prevent accidental contact of equipment with the power lines.

Well WQ-6 is considered the shallow well of well cluster WQ-29. AREA D Analyte samples sampled concentrations detected in the soil and groundwater from Area D are shown in Figure 7. Boring D-1-3 was twice. The volume of contaminated soil is about 40 cubic yards with about 75 cubic yards of cover soil. All aquifer zones of well cluster WQ-33, which are located approximately 75 feet south of D-2-2, are contaminated with volatile organics . These results indicate that contaminants in Area D have migrated downward into the alluvium, gravel and upper bedrock zone to an 84 foot depth. Groundwater flowing through Area D discharges into the Catawba River. 2.5 OBJECT OF THIS REMEDIATION The contaminated area, Area C, originally was formed by three trenches used for disposal of laboratory and production samples, distillation tars, and waste solvents. The contaminants of concern are trichloroethylene, tetrachloroethylene, chlorobenzene, ethylbenzene, 1,2-dichlorobenzene, toluene, Xylene, anthracene, fluorene, and phenanthrene. In the spring of 1981 the contents of pits C-1 and C-2 were dug up and removed to a secure landfill in Pinewood, SC.

This area will then be inoculated with a high biomass irrigant. the area will be aerated by 2 tractor As soon as applicable, driven rototiller. The aeration-irrigation/inoculation cycle will be repeated 2 or 3 times per week. The irrigant will be incubated in two 20,000 gallon mobile tanks, operated at a 15,000 gallon working capacity. The cultured, acclimated bacteria will be grown in a nutrient rich, aerated broth. Soil pH enhancements, if required, will be delivered via the broth. Standard operation and maintenance will consist of tilling/aeration of the treatment area, irrigation/inoculation, and recharging the incubation chambers. This will occur Setween two and three times per week. Additional aeration or soil manipulation will be accomplished by plow and/or disc harrow. 3.2 SOIL WASHING PROCEDURES Figure 8 represents a process flow diagram of the proposed cleanup methodology for the small project in Area D. Initially, MOTEC proposes to use an aqueous soil washing technique to reduce the contamination level in the soil. If further contaminant reduction is required, the soil will be subjected to a landfarming operation to continue biological degradation. The washing process intimately combines soil and bacteria and saturates the slurry with oxygen. Additional oxygenation and inoculation will be supplied during landfarming . 12 I I •• I I I I I I .. I I I I I I •• I I The soil washing process uses a biobroth and surfactant, either natural or commercial preparation, to enhance contaminant solubilization. After tl1e soil is slurried in the water stream containing surfactant (biological or commercially-prepared), it is vigoriously mixed in a Mobilcrete(R) soil mixer. A solids separation unit then removes large, easily settled particles. The slurry stream, containing the bulk of the contamination is sent to the LSC system. The stream is then conveyed to a hydrocyclone where liquids are removed. The LSC system accomplishes the bulk of the biodegradation work. Decontaminated water will be recycled for use in the sbil washing process. Past expericence has indicated that evaporative losses in the aeration system will alleviate water discharge. Thus, the aggregate treatment system (soil washer and LSC system) will function in a ''closed-loop'' mode. MOTEC projects a negative net water balance . The damp soils, still containing a significant population and oxygen level will be spread on the to undergo further degradation. A projected time to 14 days should reduce the contaminant levels biological drying area frame of 7 to target parameters. Additional inoculation and moisture will be supplied by irrigation with biobroth. Aeration, if required, will be effected by a tractor driven rototiller.

Tl1e areas surrounding the Sodyeco Site are primarily undeveloped woodland, sparse residential and light industrial areas. To the north of the plant (and NC Highway 27) is an area of primarily undeveloped woodland. A convenience store, located immediately north of Highway 2 7, is not owned by Sandoz. The area to the east is primarily agricutural with sparse residential and light industrial areas. The area west of the Catawba River, which forms the wes,tern site boundary, encompasses the outskirts of the town of Mount Holly and includes a power substation, sewage disposal plant, industrial facilities and some residential areas. Approximately ·20-30 residents are estimated to reside within a one-quarter mile radius of the site. Because the Sandoz Chemicals Corporation is one of the largest employers in the area, many residents, including residents of Mount Holly and Belmont, commute daily to the plant. The most recent census (1980) gives a population of ·4,530 for the city of Mount Holly and 4,607 for the city of Belmont. 2.2 SITE HISTORY The Southern Dyestuff Company I Sodyeco) began operations at the current location in 19 3 G.

In the early 1960's, the company's product lines expanded to include vat dyes and disperse dyes. Since that time, the company has produced specialty chemical products for the agrochemical, electronic, explosive, lithographic, pigment, plastic, rubber and general chemical industries. Sandoz purchased the Sodyeco Plant from Martin Marietta in 1983 . 4 . iiiiii I I - AlfEAA NfEAE ·,-----·-· .

I I The Sodyeco Site contains five CERCLA facilities, identified as A, B, C, D and E ( Figure 3) . The following is a description of these CERCLA areas: AREA A This landfill's use began in the late 1930's. Waste materials disposed of at this facility included sulfur dye clarification residues, off-specification sulfur and disperse dyes, filter cloths, empty metal and cardboard drums and: cartons, small amounts of nonacidic, non-£ lammable discarded' chemicals and chemical wastes, and construction debris. The landfill was closed sometime between 1973 and 1974. Most of the area above the facility is now covered with asphalt and buildings. AREA B -,This landfill operated between 1973 and 1978 and received wastes that had previously been disposed in Area A. The area is presently covered with gravel and used as a truck staging area . AREA C -This area originally consisted of three covered trenches that contained the remains of laboratory and production samples, distillation tars, and waste solvents. The two northern pits were excavated in March 1981 and the contents were trucked offsite to a landfill in Pinewood, South Carolina. Removal of the remaining pit was conducted in 19 83. After excavation activities, Area C was regraded and grassed. AREA D -This area formerly contained two wastewater settling ponds. The ponds were taken from service in 19 6 6; one was cleaned out in 1973 and the other between 1976 and 1977. This area currently holds a lined fresh water pond and a fuel oil storage tank. A French drain is located immediately downgradient of the area to intercept shallow groundwater . 5 I .. I I I I I I I ..

Contaminated groundwater was also detected in water supply wells adjacent to the plant. Residents of five homes were vacated and the plant water supply was changed from groundwater to surface water (Catawba River). In June 1982, a hazardous waste site investigation of the Sodyaco Site was conducted by EPA. and sediment· samples Results of surface water, groundwater revealed the pressence of organic contaminants in the groundwater and small amounts in the surface water . The objectives of the site investigation were to determine: * The population, enviionmental and welfare concerns at risk; * The routes of exposure; * The amount, concentration, hazardous environmental fate and transport, substances present; * Hydrogeological factors; properties, locations, and the form of the * The extent to which the substances have migrated or are expected· to migrate from the area of their original location 'and whether future migration may pose a threat to public health, welfare or the environment; * The contribution of the contamination to an air, land, water, and/or food chain contamination problem. 6 I ..

The Piedmont underlain by igneous and is subdivided into other northeast trending geologic belts. One of these, which contains the Sodyeco Site, is termed the Charlotte Belt. This characterized by residual soils developed from the chemical weathering of rock which was similar to the currently underlying the site. belt is in-place bedrock Groundwater recharge in this area is derived almost entirely from local precipitation. Generally, the depth to the water table depends on the topography and rock weathering. The water table varies from the ground surface in valleys (streams) to more than 100 feet below the ground surface in sharply rising hills . A groundwater divide is located approximately 50 feet north of CERCLA Area A and approximately 900 feet north of Area c.· In general, groundwater flow is northerly, north of the divide, and south-southwesterly, south of the divide. Average groundwater flow rates from the CERCLA areas to Long Creek were calculated to be approximately 180 gallons er day (gpd) from Area A, approximately 200 gpd from Area B and approximately 70-140 gpd for Area C. Estimated flow from CERCLA Areas D and E to the Catawba River were approximately 3,000 gpd and 10,000 gpd respectively. The primary hydrologic features influencing the Sodyeco site are the Catawba River (regional drainage feature) and Long Creek (major tributary to the river). Surface drainage from the western side of the site is directly to the river, from the northeastern area to the river via several small streams, and from the eastern and southeastern areas to Long Creek and then to the river. 7 I .. I I I I I I D I I I .. I I The five CERCLA areas are not within the 100-year flood elevation of Long Creek and the maximum recorded level in the Catawaba River since development of downstream Lake Wylie in 1904. 2.4 SITE CONTAMINATION The Sodyeco Site contains five CERCLA areas designated as A, B, C, D and E. Soil, groundwater, surface-water and sediment samples have been collected in and around each area and analyzed. All samples ha~e been analyzed for the following volatile organic indicator para.meters that were chosen based upon previous HSL scans at the Sodyeco Site: * Trichloroethylene * Tetrachloroethylene * Chlorobenzene * Ethylbenzene * o-Dichlorobenzene * Toluene * Xylenes Surface-water and sediment samples were also analyzed for three polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons: * Anthracene * Fluorene * Phenanthrene In addition to the above analyses, two surface water samples from the Catawba River and two surface water samples from Long Creek ( upstream and downstream in each) were analyzed for the Hazardous Substance List (HSL) parameters. Since acetone was detected in many samples, acetone results are also reported. Acetone is believed to have been a laboratory and decontamination process contaminant.

The City of Mount Holly is located across the Catawba River west of the plant. The plant site consists of roughly 13 0 0 acres ( Figure 2). It extends over 2000 feet north of State Highway 27, south past Long Creek, over 500 feet east of Belmeade Drive and is bounded on the west by the Catawba River. Of the approximately 13 00 acres at the Sodyeco Site, about 2 0 percent is occupied treatment facility. undeveloped . by production units and the waste water The majority of the remaining acreage is The Sodyeco Site contains an operating manufacturing facility consisting of and material production uni ts, a waste water treatment area, storage areas. The facility is partially fenced along open road frontage areas and a security clearance is required for entrance. The area in the vicinity of the Sodyeco plant is gently rolling, with elevations ranging from about 570 feet NGVD (National Geometric Vertical Datum of 1929) near the river to 670 feet east of the plant area. The original topography of the plant has changed considerably during its operation as the result of various grading and landfilling operations in conjunction with the construction of new facilities. As a result of previous studies, identified, whose use dates back to to the CERCLA areas, a RCRA permit 3 five CERCLA areas were the l930's.

In many standard analyses, control samples are used. A control sample is a stable material containing the analyte of interest, preferably in a matrix or substrate similar to that for which the analytical method was designed. Dur- ing the control sample analysis, if the calculated result is outside the previously established confidence limit for the analysis, the results must be reported to a supervisor. The supervisor and technician will trouble shoot the analysis and correct any problems before resuming testing. "Spiked" samples are used in place of or in addition to control samples; i.e., a sample is fortified with a known amount of analyte and analyzed before and after fortifica- tion. Percent recovery is calculated and compared to estab- lished acceptance limits for the analysis. Again, results outside the acceptance limits will result in trouble-shoot- ing and correction of problems with the analysis or identi- fication of matrix interferences. Another type of quality control check is the use of reference materials available from agencies such as EPA or NBS. If available, at least one reference material will be analyzed for PNA during this project. 25 I I I I I I I • I I I I I I •• I I In addition to the above QA analyses, duplicate sample ana- lyses are run; i.e., 10% of the samples are run in duplicate. Data are used to calculate precision for each procedure where applicable. 9.2 Field Blanks/Reagent Blanks Field blanks will be used to monitor possible contamination of samples during sampling. These blanks will consist of sample containers containing all reagents added to sample, such as preservatives treated exactly as field samples. Field blanks will be included in each set of samples obtained in a day and at least one filed blank per analysis will be prepared. Reagent blanks are run with each set of samples analyzed and include all reagents normally used during the analysis. They are used to document the absence of contamination in the reagents used in the analytical procedure including all sample preparation such as digestion, extraction, etc. The combination of field blanks and reagent blanks helps to locate any source of contamination and; thus, expedites remediation of contamination problems. 9.3 Internal Standards/Surrogate Standards Internal and Surrogate Standards are used in the GC/PID analysis of PNA. Specifics of their use are described in the procedure. 9.4 Split Samples Samples used for verification of cleanup will be first an- alyzed by GC/FID at MOTEC. Sort which has attained cleanup target levels will then be sampled and analyzed by an outside 26 I I I I I I • I I I I I I •• I I certified contract laboratory using GC/MS. A percentage of these samples may be split for analysis by a third party as deemed necessary by RES. 9.5 Reagent Checks/Calibration Standards Reagent checks and calibration standards are described in the individual analytical procedures. 9.6 Zero and Span Gasses Zero and Span Gasses are not applicable to the procedures required for this project. 9.7 Control Charts Control charts are used to assess precision and accuracy of the analyses used. Use is described in Section 12 . 27 I I I I I I I • I I I I I 10.0 PERFORMANCE AND SYSTEM AUDITS Performance evaluation samples and system auditing will be performed.

"I'' statistic is calculated according to the fol- lowing equation for duplicate samples. I., U -Bl/CA + B) The percent relative standard deviation ( RSD) is calculated for replicate samples. RSD = 100 XS where n S = Standard deviation n-1 X = Arithmetic mean value for replicates Xi= Individual values n = Number of measurements A Shewhart control chart is used to assess acceptability as described in the "Handbook for Analytical Quality Con- trol in Water and Wastewater Laboratories," USEPA 600/4- 79-019, 1979. Initially, acceptance ranges are set using values for pre- cision contained in individual method references . Only values of I or RSD resulting from samples containing five times the detection limit of analytic are used in order to avoid including data with inherently large errors. 32 I I I I I I • I I I D D I ~-I I 12.2 Accuracy Accuracy is assessed by analysis of spiked samples and con- trol samples. A percent recovery (PR) is calculated for each according to the equations below.· PR= 100 X observed value known value OR For controls PR= 100 X (observed -background) For spiked samples spike added The percent recovery is also plotted on a Shewhart Control Chart and acceptability is determined each time a spiked sample or control sample is analyzed. Initial limits are set using data for accuracy contained in the reference met- hod. Only spike concentrations at least twice the background value are used. 12.3 Biodegradation Rates Biodegradation rates are determined by plotting concentra- tions of target compounds, oxygen uptake, or biological cell growth versus time. Appropriate models such as, Monod or Haldane kinetic models for batch microbiological process- es or zero or first order kinetic decay models for soil biodegradation are applied through computer programs. Least squares line-fitting procedures are generally used and F- t est statistics are used to establish significance levels. 33 I I I I I I I • I I I I I I ~.

Addition-ally corrective actions will be taken whenever a performance or system audit indicates deviation from acceptable proc-edures. Such corrective actions will include: 1. Check of calculations, including preparation of standards and reagents. 2 . A rerun of the analysis in question. 3. Inclusion of additional quality control samples. 4. A step-by-step review of procedures involved in the test with the analyst. Correction of any de viations from accepted proceddures. S.

Kinnison, 1984, "A Sampling Strategy for Cleanup of Dioxin in Soil", will be used to select sampling points for verification of cleanup. This design will be modified for estimation of ini-tial contamination levels in order to identify major variations between sections of soil piles. Soils to be analyzed for nutrients, pH, and/or organics during biofarming will be sampled by compositing 7-10 uniformly spaced soil cores into single samples biweekly from each biofarming plot (if used). These samples will be used for monitoring only. Verification of cleanup levels will be performed as in the first paragraph. Samples during laboratory studies will be performed by removing single_ aliguots from well mixed media ( after phase separation if appropriate). 4.2 Sampling Procedures Soil samples will be taken from soil piles or biofarming plots following the procedure established by MOTEC. Soil samples will be taken from bottles in laboratory experiments following procedures in MOTEC labs. 4.J The table on the following page describes projected sampling and required analyses . 10 ---,,-------'I ----- ,-.. ,-.. 4.3 PROJECTED SAMPLE TYPES AND REQUIRED ANALYSIS SAMPLE DESCRIPTION MEDIUM 1 ) Composite from soil Soil to be treated 2 ) Composite from Soil treated soil 3 ) Composite from Soil treated soil 4 ) Incubator Aq. 5) Soil samples Soil ANALYSIS TO BE PERFORMED GC/FID PNA Scan GC/FID PNA Scan (MoTec) GC/MS(?)

All storage is located in controlled access areas. Both refrigerated and room temp- erature storage facilities are available. All samples are located under an inventory system which expedites retrieval and tracking. 4 • 5 Glass containers with teflon lined caps used for PAH samples are factory cleaned. Caps are dried in air in a clean, organic free area. All sampling equipment will be decon- taminated in the field.

The process selected for remediation is designed to remediate the contaminants in situ by introducing a high biomass inoculant directly onto the soils and aerating via a tractor driven rototiller. The target components will be reduced to ARAR levels as defined by the EPA. Analytical data will be used to assess: 1) nutrient status dur- ing all biological degradation phases, 2) PAH and sol vent target compounds in soil, and 3) biomass concentrations during biological incubation. All data except PAH analyses for final verification of concentrations in residual soil will be produced by MOTEC and used by MOTEC to optimize and control operations during re- mediation. Verification data to document that cleanup goals have been attained will be provided by laboratory qualified under the EPA CLP program and also certified in the state of North Carolina . 4 I ..

I I INTRODUCTION The Quality Assurance Project Plan which follows addresses the elements of the quality assurance program which will impact dir- ectly or indirectly on the quality of data generated during this project. Some of the data generated will be used for making decisions where differences are large and obvious (thus requiring less precision and accuracy). Other data will be used to make decisio- ns where differences are expected to be small, thus maximizing the importance of accuracy and precision. Test methods and sam- pling plans have been selected to comply with the requirements of the end use. Documentation of all procedures is stressed so that evaluation of the data will allow accurate decision making during this and future projects based on the work performed. 5 --r --- PROJECT SCIENCE I- .

I I I I I I I f I SANDOZ CHEMICALS PREFINAL/FINAL DESIGN OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN { OP ,-fv'lfi/N) The proposal of work and submitted by MOTEC, design parametars. INC. outlines the To summarize, MOTEC scope will construct a berm surrounding area C. The berm will control run-off and runon water. The treatment area will be sloped to a concrete sump. The interior of the bermed area will be circumscribed with a drainage ditch to further enchance drainage of the treatment area. Since activities inside the berm will decrement the eleva- tion, the original berm height will be 18-24 inches. This will suffice normal operation for the duration of the pro- ject . The contaminated area will be deep plowed to approximately 12 inches deep. This area will then be inoculated with a high biomass irrigant. As soon as applicable, the area will be aerated by a tractor driven rototillar. The aeration -irrigation/inoculation cycle will be repeated 2 or 3 times per week. The irrigant will be incubated in two 20,000 gallon moble tanks, operated at a 15,000 gallon working capacity. The cultured acclimated bacteria 1·1ill be grown in a nutrient rich, aerated broth. Soi 1 pH enhancements, if required, will be delivered via the broth. MOTEC personnel will operate the site. They have technical training appropriate to this project and have 40 hours of h~alth and safety training as required by OSHA. Standard ope~ation and maintenance will consist of tilling/ aeration of the tratment area, irrigation/inoculation, and recharging the incubation chambers. This will occur between 1 I •• I I I I I I I 18 I I I I I I I f I two and three times per week. Additional aeration or manipulation of the material will be accomplished by plow and/or disc harrow. MOTEC projects a 4-6 week treatment period for the dectected contaminants. A volume of 1300 yd' in each lift is calcu- lated from Sandoz' s specifications. This will require five lifts for the approximately 6000 yd' to be decontaminated. This leads to a 20-30 week treatment period, excluding wea- ther contingencies. MOTEC has proposed to treat a minimum of 6000 yd' for $119,280.00. This will be charged as the work is performed. POTENTIAL OPERATING PROBLEMS Potential Operating Problems are only mechanical problems with aerator/tilling equipment, water pumps, and aerators in the incubators. These will be repaired by field personnel when possible. Local electricians and/or mechanics will be utilized to handle major problems. Biogeneration is an established protocol and no difficulties are for seen. The bacteria do not breakdown, wear out, or go on strike. All they require is adequate nutrition, oxygen, and reasonable temperatures. Two weather conditions which will impede operations are excess moisture and ·cold temperatures. The treatment area is bermed to preclude run-on and sloped, ditched, and sumped to enhance drainage and removal of excess water. This water will be returned, whenever possible, to the incubator. If the treatment area ever becomes inundated with water the biological action will be curtailed. Tl1e bacteria used by MOT EC have the capability to use nitrate ions in the 2 I •• I I I I I I I .. I I I I I I I f I soil as an albeit at a high nitrate oxygen source and thus operate anaerobically, low kinetic rate. Therefore, MOTEC will add levels to the initial inoculations to insure adequate levels in the event the system become anaerobic. Low temperatures present a complication which can only be overcome by patience and the vernal equinox. Very low rates of success or kinetic degradation are achieved between De- cember and February. ROUTINE MONITORING Monitoring will be an on-going process throughoL1t the pro- ject. Tests will be conducted to ascertain biological acti- vity, acidity of the soil, nutrient levels in the incubator, and contaminant levels in the soil. Biological activity in the incubator will be ascertained before each inoculation . This is monitored by a Dissolved Oxygen Uptake Rate (DOUR) determination. and stirring probe will be used. An oxygen meter The actual numbers of bacteria in the inoculum will be mea- sured monthly by sending a sample to the manufacturer. An exact culture count will be performed and reported. The incubator liquor will be monitored for nutrient levels and pH. If soil pH levels demand adjustment the pH of the irrigant will be altered accordingly and this liquor will carry the caustic to the soils. (NOTE: Soi ls usually become acidic, requiring a basic adjustment). LABORATORY TESTING Finally, the level of contaminant will be monitored on a biweekly schedule. A baseline level determination will 3 I •• I I I I I I I .. I I I I I I I ,, I be made by a systematic grid sampling after the initial plowing. The approximately 2 0 0 x 2 0 0 treatment area will have 4 systematically spaced samples taken, and analyzed by GC/FID. composited, Every two weeks a new composite will be taken and analyzed. When the internal analysis shows that treatment levels have been attained, an independent lab will do verification sam- pling and analysis. (Internal QA/QC procedures will be delineated in the QAPP document). Upon verification of decontamination, the soil will be re- moved and stock piled. The treatment area will then be deep plowed and the second and subsequent lifts will be treated. EQUIPMENT The equipment required will include a tractor with rototil- ler, disc, and plow. The bioacti vi ties wi 11 utilize incu- bater tanks, aerators, water pumps, and irrigation equipment. The excavation/soil relocation will be done by front end loader, bulldozer, and possibly dump truck, depending upon location of "treated" stockpile. The bulldozer will con- struct the diversion-containment berm. RECORDS A daily operating log activity. A sample is will be maintained for each day's included as Figure 1. A copy will be maintained by operating personnel, one given to Sandoz officials, and one sent to MOTEC'S Mt. Juliet office. This log will delineate the total site activities. Lab records are outlined in the QA/QC document. 4 I I . • I 0' I I I I I I I I I I I I t I FIGURE 1 ____________________ DATE. _______ TIME. _______ _ SUPERVISDR/TECHNICIAN. ___________ W.EATHER TEMP _______ _ EMPLOYEES HRS.

Plans and Specifications These are covered in the "Groundwater Recovery Systems Work Plan" by Law Environmental and "Prefinal/Final Design" prepared by MoTec, Inc. 2. Offsite RCRA Facilities No recovered groundwater or soil residues will be removed from the Mt. Holly Plant site. Groundwater will be pumped to the onsite waste water treatment facility. In the case of area C, the treated soil will be stockpiled in an area that is as close as practical to the treatment area. When work is finished at the treatment area, the stockpiled material will be replaced in the area from which it was excavated. In the case of area D, the soils cannot be placed back in their original positions because of problems with the steep slopes involved. Clean fill from Sandoz' onsite borrow area will be used to replace the excavated soil. Once the contaminated soil is cleaned to the ARAR specified in the ROD, it is Sandoz' understanding that the soil can be utilized as 'fill. It is our intent to drain the treated soil and then use it as a part of the pre-load cover that is being applied to the former gypsum lagoons, Z02 and Z02B. Even though this soil will have been treated to the ARAR standard, we consider that it is good practice to use it in an area that will be controlled and monitored. 3. Compliance with the Requirements of Other Environmental Laws Section 6.6 of the ROD gives a list of environmental laws and comments on their applicability. In the following paragraphs, each of these laws is further addressed: Resource Conservation and Recovery Act As discussed in the ROD, the recommended remedy will be incorporated into Sandoz' RCRA Part B permit. Area D soils will be treated with a soil washing/biological treatment system, rather than incineration. Treatment will be to ARAR standards. No soil materials will be removed from the Mt. Holly site. Clean Water Act Recovered groundwater and effluent from soil washing (area D) and from the bio-remedial at area C will be I I I I I I .. I I I I I I .. I I 2 directed to the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). Water discharges from soil treatment are low-volume, as much of the treatment water is recycled. Only "blowdown" or extraordinary amounts of rainwater will be discharged to the WWTP. Discharge of waters to the WWTP is a part of treatment schemes endorsed by EPA in the ROD. The WWTP has been shown to provide adequate treatment. Floodplain Management Executive Order 11988 The CERCLA areas do not lie within a floodplain and thus are not subject to the requirements of E.O. 11988. Department of Transportation No materials will leave the Sandoz/Mt. Holly site. DOT regulations are not applicable. Occupational Safety and Health Administration A "Site Safety Plan" has been developed by Sandoz' contractor (MoTec, Inc.) in order to demonstrate our conformance to all applicable safety rules, including OSHA and the Sandoz Chemicals Safety Procedure policy. Please refer to the appropriate sections of the "Prefinal/Final Design" document for further details . Safe Drinking Water Act The cleanup will meet the goals of the SDWA since the Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCL's) were used in determining the ARAR limits, National Pollution Discharge Elimination System Please see the relevant comments under the Clean Water Act. Endangered Species Act The Sandoz Mt. Holly Plant is an industrial site. We believe that no endangered or threatened species inhabit sites A-D. Site Eis a portion of an abandoned farm field and could possibly afford wildlife habitat. However, activity here will be confined to drilling a few wells, and so the disturbance will be minimal and temporary. Less than an acre will be affected in area E. Sandoz has contacted the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for their professional determination . We also point out that the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service endorsed the draft ROD in a letter dated September 16, 1987. This letter was included as an attachment to the final ROD. I I I I I I p I I I I I I I 3 Ambient Air Quality Standards At sites A, Band Ethe cleanup will proceed essentially by pumping contaminated groundwater to the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). Although some air stripping is inevitable, the indicator compounds have been shown to degrade in the WWTP. The small quantities stripping from the WWTP will not contravene Ambient Air Quality Standards. At sites C and D the contaminated soils will be tilled. Most of the indicator compounds sorb well to soil, and we predict very small releases to the atmosphere. Contraventions of Air Quality Standards should not occur. Sites C and D will be monitored during the early phases of the project to assure that Air Quality Standards are not violated. A report will be filed to the EPA project officer. State Drinking Water Standards Please refer to the comments under "Safe Drinking Water Act". 4. Equipment Startup and Operator Training MoTec will provide trained, experienced operators for their systems at areas C and D. In sections 6.1 -6.3 of the Site Safety Plant in the "Prefinal/Final Design", health and safety training is specifically discussed. 5. Operator and Maintenance (OP+ MAIN) Plan This is fully discussed for soil treatment in the relevant portion of MoTec's "Prefinal/Final Design" document. The groundwater recovery system will be inspected monthly with appropriate maintenance as needed. 6. Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP) This is fully discussed in the relevant portion of MoTec's ''Prefinal/Final Design" document, and in the Groundwater Recovery Systems Work Plan 7. Major Design Changes The change to a biological treatment for area C is a major change. However, as discussed in Mr. Patrick Tobin's letter of June 6, 1988, Sandoz was given approval to study biological treatment as a potentially acceptable remediation technique. Based on our investigations, we believe that this method will bring the contaminant levels I .. I I I I I I I .. I I I I I I .. I. I. 8. 4 at the site to well below the ARAR's. It will conform to the goals of reduction of mobility, volume, and toxicity by in situ bacterial degradation of the organic contaminants. In area D we have gone to a soil washing/biotreatment option. This is superior to hauling to an incinerator as no offsite movement of materials takes place. This conforms to the goal of reducing the mobility of the materials, as well as eliminating the possibility of incidents during transportation and processing. The surfactant/biotreatment process will bacterially degrade the organic contaminants, thus conforming to the goals of reduction of volume and toxicity. We also point out that soil washing was an approved technique as called out in the ROD. Community Relations As discussed in the ROD, there were no additional public concerns left unresolved. Therefore, Sandoz will limit its community relations efforts to the following actions: Fact sheets will be written and made available to individuals expressing an interest in the project. These fact sheets will be updated as appropriate as the project progresses • Contacts will be made with key public officials to inform them of project status. Sandoz will respond to inquiries as they occur. The EPA project officer will be copied on all such responses. 9. Construction Inspection 10. It is understood that Sandoz will have the primary responsibility for this item. Sandoz will maintain inspection oversight on a regular basis throughout the project. Progress Reports Progress reports will be prepared monthly during soil treatment and well construction and forwarded to the EPA project officer. These reports will be made according to the format in the "Superfund Remedial. • . Guidance" (3.3.2) • 11. Prefinal and Final Inspections An inspection meeting will be held at EPA's discretion upon mobilization of equipment to the site for areas C and D soil treatment. Areas A, B, and E will have separate
