RE VIS ED FIN AL
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), under the authority of the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA),
as amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA), has initiated
procedures to conduct a Remedial Investigation (RI) and Feasibility Study (FS) for the Sigmon' s
Septic Tank site in Statesville, Iredell County, North Carolina, This work plan forthe RI/FS has
been prepared by Black & Veatch Special Projects Corp. (Black & Veatch) under Contract
Number 68-W-99-043 with EPA Region 4 and under specific authorization of EPA Region 4
through Work Assignment Number 040-RICO-A44F.
This work plan describes the tasks that the project team will perform in providing technical and
administrative assistance to the EPA. This work plan also presents the project schedule along with
the projected costs associated with each task.
1.1 Site Location and Background
A brief description and history of the Sigmon's Septic Tank site is included in the EPA's statement
of work (SOW) for this work assignment dated May 7, 2001. A copy of the SOW is included
in Appendix A. Detailed descriptions of the project site, including previous investigations, are
contained in the project files, copies of which are currently in Black & Veatch's possession.
1.2 Purpose and Scope of Work
The purpose of this work assignment is to perform RI/FS activities for the Sigmon's Septic Tank
site and to select a remedy to eliminate, reduce, or control risks to human health and the
environment. RI/FS activities associated with the site will consist of the tasks indicated in the EPA
SOW described below. The RI activities will be conducted during an initial sampling event, with
a contingency built into the budget and schedule for a second sampling event, if needed. The
requirement for and nature of the second event would be determined based on the results of the
initial sampling event. The schedule, budget, and technical planning documents describe the first
sampling event in detail. The proposed schedule is developed for the initial sampling event and all
of the required deliverables, with a three month contingency added on to account for the possible
second sampling event. The proposed budget includes both the first and second sampling events;
this will eliminate the need for a future amendment of the work assignment in the event thatthe
second sampling event is needed. The technical planning documents list the assumed activities to
be conducted in the second sampling event, but do not provide specific locations of those samples.
More information on the tasks proposed to be performed in the first sampling event, and the

activities assumed for the second sampling event are presented in more detail in the subsequent
tasks of work plan volumes 1 & 2 and the Field Sampling Plan.
The EPA SOW, datedMay7,2001, defined the tasks to be included in theRI/FS Work Planas
follows:
• Project Planning and Support.
• Community Relations.
• Data Acquisition.
• Sample Analysis.
• Analytical Support and Data Validation.
• Data Evaluation.
• Risk Assessment.
• Remedial Investigation Report
• Remedial Alternatives Screening.
• Remedial Alternatives Evaluation.
• FS Report and RI/FS Report.
• Post RI/FS Support.
• Negotiation Support.
• Work Assignment Closeout.
During the work assignment (WA) scoping meeting held on August 8,2001, and the technical
scoping meeting held on October 4, 200 I, EPA Region 4 requested that Black & Veatch complete
the following tasks prior to submission and approval of the work plan.
• Conduct the site visit for the Sigmon's Septic Tank Site on September 26, 2001.
• Present the technical approach to EPA on October 4, 2001.
• Submit the Draft Work Plan and additional planning documents, including Health and
Safety Plans (HASPs), Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP), Field Sampling Plan
(FSP), and Baseline Risk Assessment Work Plan, on October 18, 2001.
• Prepare and submit the Screening Level Ecological Risk Assessment Steps I and 2
(using the Expanded Site Inspection data) with the planning documents.
Additionally, Black & Veatch prepared a budget outlining the proposed activities to be
accomplished under the initial funding in an Interim Work Plan submitted August 15, 200 I. The
Interim Work Plan was approved and funding provided by EPA without comment on August 22,
200 I. The Interim Work Plan's technical approach included the Project Planning and Support
tasks listed above and three months of monthly administration and reporting. However, completion
of the Screening Level Ecological Risk Assessment Steps I and 2 and the Baseline Risk
Assessment Work Plan were not included in the Interim Work Plan. Two additional tasks were
added in the interim period outside of the Interim Work Plan's scope: the learning of the Visual
Sample Plan (VSP) and assistance with the geophysical site survey. Due to delays in acquiring site
assess and the terrorist attacks on the United States, the site visit was postponed significantly.

2.4 Task 3 -Data Acquisition
This task w~ll include perfonning the RI/FS field investigation necessary to characterize the nature
and extent of contamination at the site. Complete details of the field investigation program mll be
presented in the HASP, SAP (QAPP, FSP, and Data Management Plan), and the Baseline Risk
Assessment Work Plan, to be prepared and submitted as deliverables concurrently mth this Work
Plan under Task 1 -Project Planning and Support in accordance mth the SOW. All techniques,
procedures and materials used to install the monitoring wells and collect samples will be in
accordance with the United States Environmental Protection Agency, Region 4, Science and
Ecosystem Support Division (SESD), Environmental Investigations Standard Operating Procedures
and Oualitv Assurance Manual, May 1, 1996, Revised 1997.
Several specific data acquisition activities have already been conducted at the site in order to
prepare a more thorough Sampling and Analysis Plan for the sampling field investigation to be
conducted at the site. During the site visit conducted on September 26, 2001, specific field
information was collected in order to address Steps 1 and 2 of the ecological risk assessment as
scoped under Task 7 -Risk Assessment of the SOW and as described in Section2.8 ofthis Work
Plan. Additionally, a technical scoping meeting held on October 4, 2001, allowed Black & Veatch,
EPA, and North Carolina Department of Environmental and Natural Resources (NCDENR)
personnel to discuss the draft technical approach prepared by Black & Veatch. Additionally, the
geophysical site survey conducted the week of May 20, 2002, generated data denoting subsurface
anomalies that line up with the former lagoons.
These activities were used to determine specific field sampling activities to be conducted and to
discern what types of media needed to be sampled and the locations from which samples need to
be collected in order to meet the data objectives of the RI/FS.
The field investigation activities are broken down into two sampling events. The purpose of the first
(initial) sampling event is to collect groundwater, surface water, sediment, surface soil, and
subsurface soil samples in order to characterize the site. The first event is discussed in detail in the
FSP and all samples are shown on all figures and tables. The second sampling event in this
investigation is planned only as contingency to provide additional data if required by the results from
the initial event. The estimated number of samples to be collected in the second event are included
in the FSP, but the locations of the samples are not included in the figures or tables (with the
exception of sediment and surface water samples).

hand-augered soil samples are presented in Section 3 of the FSP.
• Surveying the locations of all five hand-augered soil samples, four potable wells, nine
monitoring wells, and seven surface water and sediment samples.
• Installing and lithologically logging 7 soil borings to delineate the horizontal and vertical extent
of soil contamination in the vicinity of the waste pile and lagoons. At one boring, up to seven
subsurface soil samples will be collected with the surface soil sample. At 5 of the remaining
borings, three subsurface soil samples will be collected with the surface soil sample. Only one
subsurface soil sample will be collected at the remaining boring. All of the soil samples will
be analyzed for volatile organics [Modified SW-846 Method 5035 (using Encore™ T-
handles and Encore™-sampler-s), and 8260B-soil]; semi volatile organics (Modified EPA
Method 625); pesticides/PCBs (Modified EPA Method 608); and metals (Modified EPA
Method 200 series). The locations of the soil boring samples are presented in Section 3 of
the FSP. All drilling services will be performed by a procured drilling subcontractor.
• Surveying the locations of all 7 soil borings. All field surveying will be performed by a

8.0 Exceptions to Assignment, Anticipated Problems, and
Special Requirements
The first field sampling event proposed in the FSP is comprehensive in that it addresses all media
at the site. However, a second field sampling event may be necessary as more information about
the site becomes known based on the results of the first sampling event. For example, one of this
field effort's primary tasks is to generate data to better understand groundwater flow direction. If
the installation of the l l monitoring wells does not adequately define the nature and extent of the
contaminated groundwater flow, then additional wells may need to be installed. In addition, the
first sampling event includes the installation of one monitoring well in the fractured rock aquifer. If
contamination is detected in the bedrock aquifer, then the installation ofadditional wells in that
aquifer may be warranted. The first sampling event includes sampling of the on-site and offsite
ponds, a spring, and several intermittent streams. It was assumed in the August 8, 2001, work
assignment scoping meeting and the October 4,200 l, technical scoping meeting that ecological
concerns are minimal and that these concerns will not drive the field investigation. If the results of
this event show that contamination has migrated towards the perennial stream, then additional
surface water and sediment samples may be needed to fully characterize the nature and extent. The
locations of the samples in the second event (ifneeded) would be determined based on the results
of the first sampling event.
It was agreed by the technical reviewers that this "incremental approach" represents the most cost
effective strategy for the RI. The second sampling event is included in the scope and budget of this
work plan; amendments to the budget are not anticipated. However, the need for the second
sampling event may impact the time frames described in this plan.
Other issues that may also effect projected LOE hours, budget, or time frames include items noted
in Section 2 and Section 3 as being not fully defined. Another potential issue at this time is the
ability to obtain access for the performance of field activities. Access rights may be a problem and
pose special considerations.
Black and Veatch will work closely with the EPA W AM to minimize any possible impacts to the
overall project schedule and budget. Ifunforeseen factors arise, or if the current scope of work
is changed, adjustments will be made to accommodate those changes. It is understood that such
changes require the approval of the EPA contracting officer.

2.0 Introduction
.0.1 Site Description ·
The Sigmon's Septic Tank Site is located at 1268 Eufola Road, approximately 5 miles southwest of
Statesville, in rural Iredell County, North Carolina. The Sigmon's Septic Tanks Service, a wholly
owned subsidiary of AAA Enterprises, pumped septic tank wastes and heavy sludges from residential,
commercial, and industrial customers, installed and repaired septic tanks, and provided a variety of
industrial waste removal services. From 1970 to 1978, the wastewaters were discharged to the City of
Statesville wastewater treatment plant. From approximately 1973 to 1974, the sludges were land
applied to area farmlands. From 1978 to 1992, Sigmon's Septic Tank Service disposed of septic
wastes in eight to ten unlined lagoons on the south section of the 15-acre property. The total lagoon
area (encompassing all the lagoons) dimensions are 213 feet long by 250 feet wide or approximately
1.2 acres.
.0.2 Purpose
The purpose of this Statement of Work (SOW) is to set forth the requirement for conducting a
Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (RI/FS) to select a remedy to eliminate, reduce, or control
risks to human health and the environment. This SOW is designed to provide the framework for
conducting the Rl/FS activities. The goal is to develop the minimum amount of data necessary to
support the selection of an approach for site remediation and then to use this data that results in a
well-supported Record of Decision (ROD) within 15 months after approval of the Project
Management and Work Plans. The estimated completion date for this work assignment is May 2003.
.0.3 General Requirements
.0.3.1 The contractor.shall conduct the RI/FS in accordance with this SOW and all other relevant
guidance used by EPA in conducting an Rl/FS. The J?ri~ c~l)lact f\J! l),is work

contaminant identification, exposure assessment, toxicity assessment, and risk characterization. The Risk
Assessment will be used to determine whether remediation is necessary at the site, provide justification for
performing remedial action, and determine what exposure pathways need to be remediated .
. 7.1 Human Health Risk Assessment. The contractor shall evaluate and assess the risk to human health
posed by site contaminants.
.7.1.1 Draft Human Health Risk Assessment Report. Prepare a draft Human Health Risk
Assessment Report that addresses the following:
(I) Hazard Identification (sources). The contractor shall review available information on the
hazardous substances present at the site and identify the major contaminants of concern.
(2) Dose-Response Assessment. Contaminants of concern should be selected based on their
intrinsic toi:ico!ogical properties.
(3) Prepare Conceptual Exposure/Paihway Analysis. Critical exposure pathways (e.g.,
drinking water) shall be identified and analyzed. The proximity of contaminants to
exposure pathways and their potential to migrate into critical exposure pathways shall be
assessed.
(4) Characterization of Site and Potential Receptors. The contractor shall identify and
characterize human populations in the exposure pathways.
(5) Exposure Assessment. The exposure assessment will identify the magnitude of actual or
potential human exposures, the frequency and duration of these exposures, and the routes
by which receptors are exposed. The exposure assessment shall include an evaluation of
the likelihood of such exposures occurring and shall provide the basis for the
development of acceptable exposure levels. In developing the exposure assessment, the
contractor shaU develop reasonable maximum estimates of exposure for both current land
use conditions and potential land use conditions at the site.
(6) Risk Characterization. During risk characterization, chemical-specific toxicity
information, combined with quantitative and qualitative information from the exposui-e
assessment, shall be compared to measured levels of contaminant exposure levels and the
levels predicted through environmental fate and transport modeling. These comparisons
shall determine whether concentrations of contaminants at or near the site are affecting
or could potentially affect human health.
(7) Identification of Limitations/Uncertainties. The contractor shall identify critical
assumptions (e.g., background concentrations and conditions) and uncertainties in the
report.
(8) Site Conceptual Model. Based on contaminant identification, exposure assessment,
toxicity assessment, and risk characterization, the contractor shall develop a conceptual
model of the site .
. 7.1.2 Final Human Health Risk Assessment Report. After the draft Human Health Risk
Assessment Report has been reviewed and commented on by EPA, the contractor will
incorporate EPA comments and submit the final Human Health Risk Assessment Report .
. 7.2 Ecological Risk Assessment. The contractor shall evaluate and assess the risk to the environment
posed by site contaminants .

surface water) shall be identified and analyzed. The proximity of contaminants to
exposure pathways and their potential to migrate into critical exposure pathways shall be.
assessed.
(4) Characterization of Site and Potential Receptors. The contractor shall identify and
characterize environmental exposure pathways.
II
(5) Select Chemicals, Indicator Species, and End Points. In preparing the assessment, the
contractor will select representative chemicals, indicator species (species that are
especially sensitive to environmental contaminants), and end points on which to
concentrate.
(6) Exposure Assessment. The exposure assessment will identify the magnitude of actual or
environmental exposures, the frequency and duration of these exposures, and the routes
by which receptors are exposed. The exposure assessment shall include an evaluation of
the likelihood of such exposures occurring and shall provide the basis for the
development of acceptable exposure levels. In developing the exposure assessment, the
contractor shall develop reasonable maximum estimates of exposure for both current land
use conditions and potential land use conditions at the site.
(7). Toxicity Assessment/Ecological Effects Assessment. The toxicity and ecological effects
assessment will address the types of adverse environmental effects associated with
chemical exposures, the relationships between magnitude of exposures and adverse
effects, and the related uncertainties for contaminant toxicity (e.g., weight of evidence for
a chemical's carcinogenicity).
(8) Risk Characterization. During risk characterization, chemical-specific toxicity
information, combined with quantitative and qualitative information from the exposure
assessment, shall be compared to measured levels of contaminant exposure levels and the
levels predicted ihrough environmental fate and transport modeling. These comparisons
shall determine whether concentrations of contaminants at or near the site are affecting
or could potenti_ally affect the environment.
(9) Identification of Limitations/Uncertainties. The contractor shall identify critical
assumptions (e.g., background concentrations and conditions) and uncertainties in the
report.
(I 0) Site Conceptual Model. Based on contaminant identification, exposure assessment,

2.9 Remedial Investigation Report
The Contractor shall develop and deliver a Remedial Investigation (RI) report that accurately establishes the
site characteristics such as media contaminated, extent of contamination, and the physical boundaries of the
contamination. Pursuant to this objective, the contractor shall obtain only the minimally essential amount of
detailed data necessary to detennine the key(s) contaminant(s) movement and extent of contamination. The
key contaminant(s) must be selected based on persistence and mobility in the environment and the degree of
hazard. The key contaminant(s) identified in the RI shall be evaluated for receptor exposure and an estimate
of the key contaminant(s) level reaching human or environmental receptors must be made. The contractor
shall use existing standards and guidelines such as drinking-water standards, water-quality criteria, and
other criteria accepted by the EPA as appropriate for the situation may be used .to evaluate effects on human
receptors who may be exposed to the key contaminant(s) above appropriate standards or guidelines .
. 9.1 Draft RI Report. In acco.rdance with the schedule developed in the RI/FS work plan, the contractor
shall submit a draft RI Report which includes the following, ·
.9. I. I Site Background. The contractor shall assemble and review available facts about the regional

comments and submit the final RI Report.
2.10 Remedial Alternatives Screening
The contractor shall investigate only those hazardous waste management alternatives that will remediate or
control contaminated media (soil, surface water, ground water, sediments) remaining at the site, as deemed
necessary in the RI, to provide adequate protection of human health and the environment. The potential
alternatives should encompass, as appropriate, a range of alternatives in which treatment is used to reduce
the toxicity, mobility, or volume of wastes but vary in the degree to which long-term management of
residuals or untreated waste is required, one or more altern~tives involving containment with little or no
treatment; and a no-action alternative. Alternatives that involve minimal efforts to reduce potential
exposures (e.g., site fencing, deed restrictions) should be presented as "limited action" alternatives ..
. 10.1 Prepare Draft Technical Memorandum. The contractor shall prepare a draft Technical Memorandum
presenting the potential alternatives and including the following information:
.10.1. I Establish Remedial Action Objectives. Based on existing information, the contractor shall
identify site-specific remedial action objectives which should be developed to protect human
health and the environment. The objectives should specify the contaminant(s) and media of
concern, the exposure route(s) and receptor(s), and an acceptable contaminant level or range
of levels for each exposure route (i.e., preliminary remediation goals) .
. 10.1.2 Establish General Response Actions. The contractor will develop general response actions
for each medium of interest by defining contaminant, treatment, excavation, pumping, or
other actions, singly or in combination to satisfy remedial action objectives. The response
actions should take into account requirements for protectiveness as i~entified in the remedial
action objectives and the chemical and physical characteristics of the site .
. 10.1.3 Identify & Screen Applicable Remedial Technologies. The contractor shall identify and
screen technologies based on the developed general response actions. Hazardous waste
treatment technologies should be identified and screened to ensure that only those
technologies applicable to the contaminants present, their physical matrix, and other site
characteristics wil1 be considered. This screening will be based primarily on a technology's
ability to effectively address the contaminants at the site, but will also take into account a
technology's implementability and cost. The contractor will select representative process
options, as appropriate, to carry forward into alternative development. The contractor will
identify the need for treatability testing for those technologies that are probable candidates for
consideration during the detailed analysis .
. 10.1.4 Develop Remedial Alternatives in accordance with NCP .
. 10.1.5 Screen Remedial Alternatives for Effectiveness, Implementability, and Cost. The contractor
shall screen alternatives to identify the potential technologies or process options that will be
combined into media-specific or sitewide alternatives. The developed alternatives shall be
defined with respect to size and configuration of the representative process options; time for
remediation; rates of flow or treatment; spatial requirements; distances for disposal; and
required pennits, imposed limitations, and other factors necessary to evaluate the
alternatives. If many distinct, viable options are available and developed, the Research
Engineer will screen the alternatives that undergo the detailed analysis to provide the most
promising process options. The alternatives should be screened on a general basis with
respect to their effectiveness; implementability, and cost.
15
.10.2 Prepare Final Technicaf Memorandum. After EPA review of the draft Technical Memorandum, the
contractor will incorporate EPA comments and submit the final Technical Memorandum.
2.11 Remedial Alternatives Evaluation
The contractor will conduct a detailed evaluation of alternatives .
. 11.1 Perform Remedial Alternatives Evaluation. The evaluation shall include: (I) a technical description
of eacli alternative that outlines the waste management strategy involved and identifies the key
ARARs associated with each alternative; and (2) a discussion that profiles the performance of that
. alternative with respect to each of the evaluation criteria. The Research Engineer shall provide a
table summarizing the results of this analysis. Once the individual analysis is complete, the
alternatives will be compared and contrasted ·to one another with respect to each of the ev.a!uation
criteria.
2.12 FS Report and RI/FS Report
The Contractor shall develop a Feasibility (FS) Report consisting of a detailed analysis of alternatives and
cost-effectiveness analysis in accordance with NCP 300.68(h)(3)(i)(2). The report shall contain a summary
of alternative remedial actions in accordance with Chapter 3, NCP 300.68(h)(3)(i)(2)(A); 2) Cost Analysis in
accordance with Chapter 7, NCP 300.68(h)(3)(i)(2)(B); 3) Institutional analysis in accordance with Chapter
4, NCP 300.68(h)(3)(i)(2)(C); 4) Public-health analysis in accordance with Chapter 5, NCP
300.68(h)(3)(i)(2)(D); 5) Environmental analysis in accordance with Chapter 6, NCP 300.68(h)(3)(i)(2)(E) .
. 12.1 · Prepare Draft FS Report. The contractor shall prepare a draft FS and submit to EPA according to the
schedule in the RI/FS work plan. The FS Report should contain the following:
.12.1. l Summarizes Feasibility Study Objectives
.12.1.2 Summarizes Remedial Objective
.12.1.3 Articulate General Response Action
. 12.1.4 Identification & Screening of Remedial Technologies
.12.1.5 Remedial Alternatives Description
.12.1.6 Detailed Analysis of Remedial Alternatives. The contractor's technical feasibility
· considerations shall include the careful study of any problems that may prevent a remedial
alternative from mitigating site problems. Therefore, the site characteristics from the RI
must be kept in mind as technical feasibility of the alternative is studied. Specific items to be
addressed are reliability (operation over time), safety; operation and maintenance, ease with
which the alternative can be implemented, and time needed for implementation .
. 12.1.7 Summary and Conclusions
.12.2 Prepare Final FS Report. After EPA review of the draft FS Report, the contractor will incorporate
EPA comments and submit the final FS Report.
2.13 Post RI/FS Support
