[GE/Shepfierc/Jproposed pian nears
A final RI report should be done in about a
month at the GE/Shepherd Fann site in East Flat
Rock, N.C., where EPA expects to propose a soil
and groundwater cleanup in late July.
High levels of volatiles, including
tetrachloroethane, trichloroethane and 1,2-
dichloroethane are in groundwater. Soil is contami-
nated with PCBs and metals.
EPA is conducting the Rl/FS and risk assessment
in-house. Once the FS is done, the agency will start
negotiations with General Electric Co, -probably
this fall or winter -for design and construction.
The agency decided to have its own employees
from the Environmental Services Div. in Athens,
Ga., study the site after failing to reach an agree-
ment with GE to conduct the study (Supe,fund Week
8/26/94).
The site includes GE's SO-acre General Electric
Co. Lighting Systems Dept. at 3010 Spartanburg
Highway, about 3.5 miles southeast of
Hendersonville, N.C., and the Shepherd Fann
property about a half-mile southwest of the plant.
The fann was used for disposal of GE wastes. Since
then, the Spring Haven Trailer Park has been built
on the fann -part of it on the waste disposal area.

Techslloy aquifer cleanup eyed
EPA has proposed extraction and treatment at an
existing on-site treatment plant (if it works) for
contaminated groundwater at the Techalloy Co. Inc.
site in Perris, Calif.
The site is being handled under RCRA, and EPA
said it expects a work plan from the company in
about two months. Three extraction wells would be
drilled, and extracted water would be treated at a
plant at the still active wire making company at
2500 "A" Street in Riverside County.
Groundwater has cadmiwn, chromium, nickel and
benzene. If the existing treatment plant is ineffective,
Techalloy build another plant with a vapor recom-
prcssion evaporator (similar to distillation).
If no additional wells are needed and the water
can be treated at the existing plant, only about
$500,000 in capital costs would be required for the
cleanup.
Techalloy is paying for design and construction
of the remedy under a consent decree lodged in
1988.
Production of stainless steel and nickeVcopper
alloy wires for the aerospace and other uses date
back to 1965. Until 1985, wastewater was dis-
charged to three on-site evaporation ponds. In 1989
Techalloy cleaned up contaminated soil and sludges
and capped the ponds.

v~;~~es of t~o~um· w~te 6~ot .sposed of on-site in accordance
· with existing requirements withouq,r,emptions, said NRC. The
commission said off-site disposal options are very expensive and
disposal locations are hard to find.
"A principal cause of the delays has been limited access to low-level
waste disposal facilities," said NRC in response to the report. 'These
difficulties are expected to continue or worsen over the next 5 to 10 years
unless access to disposal facilities improvesi' the report continued.
And because decommissioning costs often exceed an owner's
ability to pay, NRC officials may have no choice but to tum over such
sites to the Superfund program, said the report.
GAO said that litigation, coordination and negotiations between
affected parties and governments have been major factors in cleanup
delays at decommissioned sites, though it acknowledged that such
factors are largely beyond NRC's control.
" ... nearly half of the SDMP sites face management and disposal
issues that must be coordinated with other federal and state agencies that
have jurisdiction over specific aspects of the cleanups," said the report.
GAO offered no recommendations.
According to the report,, NRC has so far evaluated about 29,000
(75%) ofabout 38,500 terminated licenses.
The review of the remaining 9,500 sites is slated for completion
sometime next year, though several more years will be needed for
verification of the study and any additional inspections.

Non-residential goals to be rule ... (From p. 1)
Other guidance and policies EPA is now starting include are:
• a state deferral guidance for sites that haven't made the NPL. To
be targeted for state deferral, sites must have viable and cooperative
PRPs who agree to pay for and do cleanups. A site can't be part of this
effort if the affected community has what EPA deems to be valid
objections to state deferral. Also, a site can't already be on the NPI...
• a "prospective purchaser guidance" that allows the agency more
flexibility than a previous 1989 guidance in granting covenants not to
sue purchasers of contaminated property prior to purchase. EPA
exempts purchasers in return for PRP contributions toward cleanup or
if such an agreement will create jobs, redevelop property or otherwise
benefit a community. Contact: Lori Broughton, EPA, 703-603-8959.
• a policy in which EPA won't seek cleanup contributions or .
response cost reimbursements from property owners whose groundwa-
ter is contaminated from migration of contaminants from sources
beyond their properties. EPA will consider de minimis settlements to
protect these purchasers from third-party suits. This policy is for
owners who dicln 't cause, contribute to or make contamination worse.
Contact: Ellen Kandel!, EPA, 703-603-8996.
• allocation pilots to settle based on "fair shares" of cleanup costs
with use of a neutral allocator who will assign shares of responsibility
among the PRPs (Superfund Week 5126). EPA expects to pay for
orphan shares of defunct and insolvent PRPs but said it can only do this
at a few sites because additional appropriations from Congress weren't
made. Contact: Gary Worthmann, EPA, 202-260-3091.
• an "overview of ability to pay" guidance to help agency officials
in early identification of PRPs and to speed de minimis settlements with
minor PRPs. This could include sites for which RODs haven't been
issued.

comments prepared on the Draft Baseline Risk Assessment
for the General Electric/Shepherd Farm Site, Report Dated
April 14, 1995
After reviewing the above mentioned document, I offer the
following comments:
1. Pages 2-1 and 2-2: It is stated that the only surface soil
samples taken from this site were composite samples.
According to Risk Assessment Guidance for superfund Volume
1. Part A, sE!ction 4.6.3, "· .composite samples may dilute
or otherwise misrepresent concentrations at specific points
and, therefore, should be avoided as the only inputs to a
risk assessmE!nt". Since it appears that the only surface
soil samples taken at the site were composite samples, it is
recommended that discrete sampling be conducted for surface
soil, and th11 95% Upper Confidence Limit (or the maximum
detected concentration, whichever is lower) be used as the
exposure concentration.
2. Page 3-2: The areas described on this page are not marked
on Figure 1.1. Please remedy this situation.
3. Page 3-14, f:i.rst line: Are there mechanisms in place to
prevent the :site from becoming residential? If not, a
residential •=xposure scenario must be completed.
4. Page 3-14, potentially significant exposure routes: It is
inconsistent to account for dermal contact of surface water
but not account for dermal contact with groundwater while
showering. Dermal contact while showering must be accounted
for in this :c-isk assessment for both the GE and Shepherd
Farm Sites.
5. Page 3-16, Table 3-2: According to Table 2-4, manganese was
not retained as a COPC for the surface soil. However, in
Table 3-2, manganese is considered a COPC. Please explain
this inconsistency.
6. Page 3-24, Inhalation rate: Please explain where the
inhalation rate of 16 m3/day for children came from.
7. Page 5-2, first paragraph: The risk accepted in the state
of North Carolina is 1.0E-06.

Dear Kay:
Response to Notice of Viplation
No. 2 Fuel Oil Spill
General Electric Lighting Systems Facility
Hendersonville, North Carolina
This letter is written in response to the Notice of Violation {NOV)
issued to General Electric Lighting Systems (GELS) by the North
Carolina Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources -
Division of Environmental Management (NCDEll&NR) dated February 15,
1995. The purpose of this letter is as follows:
* Document GELS's receipt and intent to comply with the
February 15, 1995 NOV (a copy of the NOV is attached),
* Detail the actions taken to date by GELS to clean up and
assess the spill site,
* Provid·e a generalized scope and schedule for the assessment
of the spill site.
A schedule for the spill assessment is provided.
Project Information
On January 6, 1995, No. 2 fuel oil spilled from a 250-gallon
above-ground storage tank {AST). The 250-gallon AST is fed from two
30,000-gallon tanks which are located approximately 600 feet to the
east on GELS property. The spill resulted from the failure of two
valves with are designed to activate and close when the tank is full.
GELS estimates that approximately 6,500 gallons of No. 2 fuel oil
spilled prior to the manual shut-off of another valve.
The spilled fuel oil did not leave GELS property and did not enter
into the waters of the State of North Carolina. GELS notified the
NCDEH&NR, as a precautionary measure notified the U.S. EPA and the
National Response Center, of the spill on January 6, 1995.
March 8, 1995
Ms. Kay Dechant

•
The majority of the spill area is in an electrical supply substation.
A small amount of fuel oil seeped into a concrete lined tunnel which
is used for running various conduits to the other side of the internal
plant access road (Demonstration Street). The tunnel contains a sump
pump which pumped the collected fuel oil and water to the other side
of Demonstration Street and into a drainage ditch. A map showing the
spill area is attached.
GELS began cleanup of the spill on January 7, 1995, and cleanup
activities continued through February 1, 1995. Soil and gravel from
the spill areas of the substation were excavated to depths ranging
from six inches to 1.5 feet below ground surface (bgs). The removed
soils from the substation were placed in 55-gallon drums for storage
on-site. The drainage ditch was excavated four inches bgs. The
excavated soils from the drainage ditch were stockpiled on plastic
sheeting, covered with plastic, and are locat~d on-site.
Approximately 80 cubic yards of soil have been excavated to date. In
areas where free product was accessible, it was pumped into 55-gallon
drums and stored on-site. Approximately 13,000 gallons of water and
liquid fuel oil have been recovered to date. GELS has replaced the
two valves on the AST and it is back in operation. The collected
liquid wastes will be sent off-site for separation, fuels blending and
treatment. The collected soils will be thermally treated off-site.·
It appears that the surface soil profile in the substation area
contains residual amounts of fuel oil to depths ranging from the
surface to two feet bgs. The areas directly underneath and in close
proximity to the electrical equipment cannot be excavated any further
due to the sensitive nature of the electrical equipment. Additional,
areas with subsurface electrical conduits were not excavated for the
same reason. The more accessible areas of the site have been
excavated to depths ranging from six inches to 1.5 feet bgs. Due to
the sensitive nature of the surrounding substation equipment, the bulk
of the soils had to be manually excavated. Additional assessment is
necessary to determine the vertical and horizontal extent of
contamination.
On February 7, 1995, Mr. Michael Bush of GELS, Ms. Kay Dechant and Mr.
Don Link of NCDEH&NR and Mr. Robert MacPhee of Law Engineering met at
the GELS site to review the status of the project and site conditions.
At that meeting, Ms. Dechant and Mr. Link requested the extent of soil
contamination at the site be assessed and a report submitted to the
NCDEH&NR. An NOV was issued to GELS on February 15, 1995, and was
received by GELS on February 20, 1995.
March 8, 1995
Ms. Kay Dechant

Assessment
•
The following generalized scope has been prepared to investigate the
vertical and horizontal extent of the contamination at the spill site
area:
* Collect up to six soil samples from the surface soils (0-1
feet bgs) at the perimeter of the spill area to determine
horizontal extent of contamination,
* Collect two surface soil samples (0-1 feet bgs) from areas
of the spill which were unable to be completely excavated do
to the electrical substation equipment.
* Perform two "Geoprobe'' borings in the areas where surface
soils were saturated with fuel oil to a.depth of ten feet
bgs to determine vertical extent of soil contamination. The
borings will be sample from 3.5 to 5.0, and 8.5 to 10.0 feet
bgs.
* Analyze all the above-mentioned soil samples for volatile
and semivolatile Total Petroleum Fuel Hydrocarbons (TPFH,
EPA method 5030/3550). Additionally, analyze the two worst
case surface soils samples for metals using the Toxic
Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) and halogenated
volatile organics (EPA method 8010).
* Submit a report to NCDEH&NR detailing our sample procedures
along with our results and recommendations.
Upon completion of the assessment, the remedial options [or the
remaining soils will be evaluated. It should be noted that due to the
sensitivity of the surrounding electrical equipment and utilities, the
lack of space, and the inability to effectively use power equipment
within the substation, further remediation of the site will be
problematic. It should also be noted that the spill site is located
between two former UST excavation sites. Both of the former UST sites
have monitoring wells associated with them.
Schedule
The above assessment will be initiated within two weeks of the date of
this letter. The assessment will be completed in one to two days.
The laboratory analysis of the samples will be completed within three
weeks of the date of collection. The report will be completed with
three weeks from the date of receipt of the laboratory results. If
additional data is necessary to determine the vertical or horizontal
extent of contamination, NCDEH&NR will be notified and a report will
be completed after all data becomes available.

RE: GE Lighting Systems
Number 2 fuel oil spill on January 6, 1995
Dear Mr. Link:
Reports concerning this release were made by telephone on January 6, 1995 to the National Response Center, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and your office. This follow-up report provides information on the release, recent developments and action plans.
The boiler's No. 2 fuel oil system is comprised of 2-30,000 gallons above ground storage tanks which feed a 500 gallon "day•• tank. The day tank is located adjacent to the boiler house and is equipped with spill containment, and automatic control systems, including an automatic overfill protection system. on January 6, 1995, our preliminary investigations indicate that both of the automatic overfill valves stuck partially open. All indications are that the sensors sent the proper signals to the pump, and valves. The pump power turned off and the valves attempted to close. However, the two valves did not completely close. The failure of these valves to close appears to have been due to the cold weather, since ice was formed in the valve actuator. Additional safety systems and precautions are being evaluated.
As a result of equipment malfunction, No. 2 fuel oil was spilled onto soil, gravel and concrete in an area outside our main boiler house between approximately 7:00 p.m. on 1/5/95 and 3:00 a.m. on 1/6/95. The amount of No. 2 fuel oil spilled is estimated to be 6,500 gallons. This quantity was derived from inventory measurements taken before and after the spill. Other observations indicate that the quantity of No. 2 fuel oil released was approximately 2,000 gallons. Therefore, the actual quantity released may be substantially less. The spill was confined to GE property and did not enter the waters of the State.
_'i) i< i. .
~Ink
aary 10, Page 2.
1995
Immediate actions were taken to assess, respond to and contain the
release. No No. 2 fuel was found in the storm drains leading from the
spill area. However, as a precautionary measure, floating
oil-collecting booms were immediately installed to the storm drain
from this area. An internal GE emergency response team assessed the
situation and provided proper safeguards in responding .to the release.
Since portions of the spill area included an electrical switching
stations and electrical sub-station, GE's Facility Electrical Engineer
was called in to isolate power sources so safe clean-up could begin.
Duke Power Co., the owner and operator of the sub-station equipment,
was called and supervised the clean-up in the sub-station area. Oil
and soil were removed from the area from the morning of 1/6/95
non-stop through the afternoon of 1/7/95. During the removal, storm
water from the area was either collected or separated from any oil.
The collected material will be sampled and properly disposed. The incident did not endanger employees or the local residents. No
individuals were exposed to concentrations that constitute a health
risk and no medical assistance was required.
This report is not an admission of liability and any such liability is
specifically denied. This report is being made to assure compliance
with any reporting obligation and to continue our cooperative
relationship with the State in these matters. GE plans to continue to
remove soil from the spill area during the week of January 9, 1995.
GE will develop a sampling plan for the soils in the spill area. I
will call and review the sampling plan with you. If you should have
any questions please feel free to contact me at [phone].

G. Bennett told me in a phone conversation today that an oil spill occurred at this site.
She said that the spill was being handled by Kay DeChant out of the Asheville Regional Office.
I telephoned Ms. DeChant to find out the status. Ms. DeChant works for the
Groundwater Section. She told me that the spill occurred in January. Between 2,000 and 6,500
gallons ofNo. 2 fuel oil were released from an above ground storage tank. Some of the oil
contaminated an electrical substation. Most of the contaminated ~oil was excavated. However,
the substation is still contaminated. This seems to be a major problem.
Ms. DeChant said that she would mail me a copy of the GE report on the spill and keep
me posted on any new developments.

WNC Superfund site · selection up · in air
By Susan Dryman
HENOERSO~UE BUAEJ.U
HENDERSONVILLE -Just how long
does it take for the Environmental Protec-
tion Agency to decide whether a contami-
nated site will go on the national Superfund
list to be cleaned up?
Few people, if anyone in the East Flat
Rock community around the proposed Gen-
eral Electric Lighting Systems plant seems
to know for sure.
GE's corporate spokesmen don'L
And neither does the EPA.
It was a question on most everyone's
lips Thursday night during an informational
meeting at East Henderson High School.
EPA identified the General Electric
plant and a nearby dry pond two and a half
years ago for possible inclusion on the Na-
tional Priorities List, or Superfund.
The sites are not on the official list. But
almost all proposed sites end up there.
Superfund is a trust fund set up in 1980
No one seems to know if, or when,
East Flat Rock site will be cleaned up
to clean hazardous waste sites in the United
States. EPA administers the fund.
N3 of Aug. 23, 1,232 sites were on the
list. Including GE, 64 sites were being con-
sidered for the list, according to the Federal
Register, a government publication that in•
eludes such documentation.
The EPA will begin testing the East
Flat Rock sites the week of Sept. 12 to see if
they should be on the Superfund list.
But whether the sites would end up ac-
tually on the clean-up list is unknown and
will remain unknown until at least April,
1995.
At Thursday's information meeting,
several resident-'! questioned what was tak-
ing so long.
EPA officials that were sent to the
meeting from the agency's Atlanta offices
said deciding whether to put a site on the
Superfund list takes a long time because it's an involved process. ' ·
. But EPA officials in Atlanta and Wash•
ington could not say Friday whether the lo-
cal process is taking longer than it Should.
None of the officials in six offices inter-
viewed Friday knew how long it should truce.
"I don't have that detennination," said
Jehu Barnes, who works in the agency's
Washington office scheduling sites for inclu-
sion on the list.
"It seems the time it takes to effect a
clean-up isn't available ... I don't know if
· that's something they necessarily want to
··-·-.-·----,----
publicize," said Suzanne Crider, information
specialist with .the Superfund hotline in Ar-
lington, Va.
"There was a site proposed in Feb.,
1992 and now it's 1994 and it's still on the
proposed list," she said. "Illinois proposed a
site in 1985 and it didn't make it on the list
until 1989 ... making. a general statement,
EPA is required to update within a year of
proposing. The average time is probably a
year, year-and-a-half to two years, but there
are other factors to be considered." ·
GE opposed the designation two years
ago and offered to clean the sites itself un-
der federal supervision but without Super•
fund designation. Since then, the company
has accepted the process and agreed to co-
operate fully, said spokesman Tom Haas.
A "class" will be available Sepl 16 for
an}'one interested in learning more about
the Superfund process. "Superfund 101
Training Course" will be from 6:30 p.m. to
10:30 p.m. at East Henderson High School.

Dear Sirs:
By this letter and attachments, General Electric Lighting Systems
(GELS) is notifying the North Carolina Superfund Section of additional
information on a previously reported inactive waste disposal site.
GELS notified the North Carolina Superfund Section on January 9, 1989
of this site, called "Landfill B''· ( See attachment 1. ) Landfill B
was reported to be a controlled landfill for the disposal of
construction debris. Attachment 2 is the USGS map of the area,
Attachment 3 is the plant map showing the location of Landfill B.
Also enclosed is a completed notification form (attachment 4), and
sampling data (attachments 5 and 6). The entire site area is located
on GELS property.
On August 17, 1994, approximately 12 small capacitors were observed in
the surface soil of this area. The site had been recently graded and
a section of its fence removed to be converted to a grass field. The
small capacitors were observed after the area was graded. The small
capacitors were removed from the area and stored in an on-site TSCA
storage area in preparation for proper disposal.
As a courtesy, GELS notified the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(USEPA), Superfund Branch and Toxic Management Branch of the findings.
The area was re-fenced on August 19, 1994 and "No Trespassing" signs
were posted.
The GELS plant site, including Landfill B, is currently undergoing a
Superfund Remedial Investigation/ Feasibility Study (RI/FS) by USEPA
Region IV, pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA), as amended. USEPA
representatives and Mr. David J. Lown, Environmental Engineer, NC
DEH&NR Superfund Section, inspected the site on August 25, 1995.

CERTIFIED MAIL
Dear Mr. Nicholson:
As a result of questions raised during our ground water investigation we
have identified two former landfills sites on GE property. Dur investigation
into these landfills involved the questioning of retired employees, with
responsibility over these particular areas, and analytical results. The exact
content of these landfills is unknown, no disposal record or analytical result
has identified any particular type of waste. The following information was
obtained:
1) "LANDFILL A" ( See attached map for location.)
An area behind the main plant approximatly 300 feet long, 100 feet
wide and 10 feet deep which we believe recievied some wastes we generated. The
disposal into this area occured from 1955 until ap·~oximatly the mid
nineteen-sixties. We have sampled the ground water for volatile halogenated
organics, both upgraident and downgraident, and have found no contributions to
our ground water problems coming from this area. There has also been an EPA
priority pollutant analysis conducted on the groundwater directly downgraident
to this site, again nothing was found that would indicate that this area is
contributing to ground water contamination.
2) "LANDFILL B" ( See attached map for location.)
An area located adjecent to the reclamation yard approximatly 300
feet long, 100 feet wide and 10 feet deep. Per the retired reclaimation unit
manager and forman this area was used to dispose of construction and
demolition debris in the early nineteen-seventies, It was reported to be a
controlled landfill for construction debris, no other wastes were given
approval to be disposed of. The area was filled in to make possible a roadway.

Notes on the Kick-Off Public Meeting
G.E./Shepherd Farm NPL Superfund Site
East Flat Rock, Henderson County
The Kick-Off Public Meeting for this site was held at the East
Henderson High School on August 25, 1994. EPA personnel present
included the following:
Giezelle Bennett, Remedial Project Manager
Dan Thoman, Project Manager, Environmental Services
Robert Safay, Scientist, Agency for Toxic Substances and
Disease Registry
Peter Raack, EPA Attorney
Diane Barrett, Community Relations Specialist.
G.E. is not going to do the RI/FS. Previously, COM prepared
a RI/FS Workplan for the site. I made several comments on this
workplan, most of which were concerned with groundwater flow in the
bedrock aquifer. G.E. decided not to go ahead with the plan
because it was too expensive. (According to Dan Thoman, the CDM
plan would have cost $1.2 million; the EPA plan will cost only $600
thousand.) Instead, EPA will be doing the RI/FS phase of the
project. Dan Thoman prepared the EPA Workplan.
Before going to the meeting, I told Mike Kelly that I was
concerned because I had not been able to examine EPA's workplan and
the previous workplan did not adequately address the hydrology of
bedrock aquifer. Mike suggested that I prepare two written
statements, one of which I was to read into the record at the
meeting. One stated that I was in agreement with EPA's workplan
and the second statement indicated that more needed to be done to
characterize the bedrock aquifer. While I did not read a
statement, the comments I made at the meeting were in line with the
second statement. I did not read a statement because an official
record of the comments made at the meeting was not kept.
EPA presented me with a copy of the RI/FS Workplan three hours
before the public meeting began. I asked Dan Thoman and Giezelle
Bennett to explain to me what work was being planned to
characterize flow of groundwater in the fractured bedrock aquifer.
They told me that there were no plans to characterize the fracture-
flow. They said that it was not necessary for two reasons:
1. At this stage there is no indication that the water-table
aquifer contamination is a major problem, why should we
be concerned about the bedrock aquifer? Depending on the
Memorandum
August 29, 1994
Page 2
• •
results of the RI, additional work on the bedrock aquifer
may be necessary in the future.
2. A fracture-trace analysis of the G.E. property had been
completed previously by Law Environmental; at this time
there is no need for additional work.
The EPA intends to sample a limited number of private water-
supply wells and some of the previously installed monitoring wells.
Only a few wells will be installed in the surficial aquifer. They
maintain that the past groundwater sampling was extensive; this
limited sampling should be sufficient to characterize the extent of
contamination in the groundwater for the RI/FS phase.
At the public meeting, Dan Thoman presented his plan for the
study of the groundwater. After the presentation, a group of
citizens began to question Mr. Thoman about the flow of groundwater
in the fractures of the bedrock aquifer. They expressed concern
that the plan did not adequately address the movement of
contaminants through the fractured bedrock.· It was after these
citizens made their comments that I announced that the State was
also concerned about the movement of contaminants through the
fractured bedrock and that we would work with EPA to make certain
that this issue was resolved. The citizens said that they were
grateful for our position.

I phoned G. Bennett on Thursday, August 18 to ask about the
status of the RI/FS Workplan. Ms. Bennett told me that she had
given my comments on the previous workplan to Dan Tolman
(spelling?), EPA Athens, who is in the process of preparing a new
workplan. Ms. Bennett said that Tolman will call me after he's had
an opportunity to review my comments.

I phoned G. Bennett to ask when I would be able to review the
RI Workplan for this site; I was told previously that I would see
it early this week. She said it was not ready and that she would
send it to me as soon as possible.
I asked if the new workplan would address the comments that I
had made on the previous workplan. More specifically, I asked what
was being done to characterize the bedrock aquifer. She replied
that she was not certain, but that no deep monitoring wells are
being planned.
When I asked if I could speak to the person preparing the
workplan for EPA, she gave me a name, but declined to give me a
phone number.
Finally I told her that I needed to know what, if anything,
was going to be done to address my comments before the August 25
public meeting to present the Workplan. I told her that if I did
not get a chance to review the Workplan or, at least, some
indication that my comments on the previous plan were being
addressed, I would have to state my concerns at the public meeting
in Hendersonville. Ms. Bennett said that she wanted an opportunity
to think about this, and that she would get back to me.

ANNOUNCE
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 4 office in Atlanta, Georgia announces
the "Kick-off" meeting to begin the Remedial Investigation for the G.E./Shepherd Farm Site in
East Flat Rock, North Carolina. The public meeting will be held on August 25, 1994, in the
East Henderson High School auditorium from 7:00 PM until 10:00 PM. The purpose of this
public meeting is to introduce the public to the Superfund remedial process, announce the
activities that will be conducted during this process, and give an anticipated time frame for
getting these tasks accomplished.
The Superfund process in a "nutshell" involves the following steps. First, we will conduct
a Remedial Investigation. This investigation involves collecting numerous samples of soil,
surface water, sediment, and groundwater at different locations to determine what
contaminants are present, how far they have spread, and estimate the quantity of these
contaminants. All samples will be analyzed by a certified laboratory and a report prepared.
A Feasibility Study will then be conducted to determine the various possible methods available
for addressing the contaminants. After the best remedy is selected the Remedial Design
portion of the process begins. This step involves all phases of designing the remedy and
health and safety measures. After the design has been completed, th& Remed:al Action phase
begins which consists of construction of the selected remedy. Public input is critical to the
process. We need and want your comments during the entire process, and specifically during
public comment periods. Public participation is necessary to the Superfund program in order
to make it successful. A more detailed description of the Superfund process will be provided
during the public meeting.
We encourage citizens interested in this Site to attend the August 25th meeting. If you
would like to contact us prior to the meeting, please call either Giezelle Bennett, Remedial
Project Manager or Diane Barrett, Community Relations Coordinator at 1-800-435-9233 .

RE: Additional Comments on the Draft Work Plan, Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Study (RI/FS)
General Electric/Shepherd Farm Site East Flat Rock, Henderson County
Dear Ms. Bennett:
Curt Fehn wanted to know specifically what type of studies should be conducted before installation of monitoring wells (Comment 14 of my letter to you dated March 23, 1994). Cohen and Mercer (1993, DNAPL Site Evaluation, p. 1-2) state that "Site characterization should be a continuous, iterative process, whereby each phase of investigation and remediation is used to refine the _conceptual model of the site." They go on to say, "Noninvasive methods can often be used during the early phases of field work to optimize cost-effectiveness of a DNAPL site characterization program" (p. 1-3).
Installing monitoring wells without an adequate understanding of the site geologic setting can lead to problems with the interpretation of the site groundwater hydrology and ultimately result in poor remediation design. The hydrogeology of the GE/Shepherd Site is probably complex. Groundwater flow in the bedrock is through fractures and velocities can be high, particularly in the vicinity of a pumping well. Unfractured bedrock is not conducive io groundwater flow. Monitoring wells installed in unfractured rock will not provide information on the movement of contaminants from the Site.
The purpose of the Remedial Action is to protect the public health and the environment. Most water supply wells are producing from the fractured bed rock and the most likely pathway for the exposure of the public to the contaminants is from wells that tap fractured rocks.
Major fracture zones that are likely to be conduits for groundwater flow are not likely to be discovered with randomly located drill holes. Because of their dimensions, fracture zones are most likely to be delineated as part of a carefully planned exploration program.

To assess the distribution of permeability pathways, it would be prudent to do a thorough investigation of the geology of the site before monitoring wells are installed. The GE RI Work Plan states that all the field work will be done in one phase. I do not belic;ve that the site can be fully characterized in one phase.
Below is specifically the type of activities that should take place before monitoring wells are installed:
1. Because the geology of the Inner Piedmont Belt is complex, it is impc;1ant to obtain the services of a qualified geologist who has experience in mapping and interpreting data from this part of North Carolina.
2. A review of the literature and available data on the geology and hydrogeology of the North Carolina Inner Piedmont Geologic Belt and the area surrounding the site is in order. The review should also include areas that are similar to the region being studied.
Some of the questions that should be considered during this review should include the following:
A What is an appropriate hydrogeologic model for this area? In addition to bedrock fractures, what type of geologic features, e.g. lithologic units, faults, folds, lithologic contacts, abandoned stream channels, etc., are likely to act as conduits for groundwater flow in this region?
B. Based on regional information, what is the likely orientation of the geologic features that control groundwater migration?
C. What exploration techniques might be appropriate for studying the geologic features of this region?
D. What types of data are presently available for the site? This should include a review of topographic maps, aerial photographs, landsat image, geophysical surveys, and unpublished information at the State and U.S. geological surveys.
E. If there is sufficient data available, a preliminary photo-lineament study of the site should be conducted. This interpretation should be compared to available geologic, geophysical, and topographic information?
Ms. Giezelle Bennet.
March 29, 1994
Page 3
3. After a thorough review of the available data in the office, field investigations of the site and the region surrounding the site should be undertaken. One purpose of the literature and data review is to maximize the amount of information that is gained from the time spent in the field. What features are being explored for and where are they most likely to be found?
For studies of the bedrock, it is necessary to find outcrops in the region surrounding the site. Available geologic maps may contain information on the locations of outcrops. Find out where the outcrops are and visit them. In addition to lithologic information, record structural information and any information available on fractures. After enough information has been collected to establish dominant trends from regional information, it · is necessary to collect specific data for the site.
4. A detailed geologic map must be prepared for the site. This map should show the location of all outcrops. In addition to lithologic information, the map should portray structural data and information on the density and orientation of fractures. How do the features at the site compare to the regional. geology?
5. Depending on the geology of the site and the nature of possible groundwater · migration pathways, it may be appropriate to conduct a geophysical investigation. Because of the interpretive nature of geophysical data, the goals of the survey and techniques used should be carefully considered.
6. After possible groundwater migration pathways have been identified, the next step is verification of the geologic model. For example, if a fracture trend has been projected across the site and no outcrops are available, then the trend needs to be confirmed. Drilling is one way of doing the verification, however backhoe trenching may be a cheaper and more effective way of finding a fracture zone. In the Piedmont the saprolite zone can usually be found within a few feet of the land surface. The saprolitization process is such that the original textures of the bedrock from which the saprolite is derived are usually preserved. The saprolite exposed in the trench should confirm or disprove the fracture interpreted from other techniques. The orientation of the fractures can be mapped in the saprolite. (Interpretation of the textures present in saprolite should be approached cautiously. Open fractures in the bedrock, may be filled with clay, silt, or other mineral phases in the saprolite zone.)
7. The groundwater hydraulics of the suspect features must be determined by field testing. Piezometers must be installed with screens at the location of the feature being analyzed. To ensure that the piezometers are properly installed, the orientation of permeable zones must be determined from outcrops, backhoe trenches, or if nothing else is appropriate, geophysical techniques.
Ms. Giezelle Benne.
March 29, 1994 • Page 4

9.
Monitoring wells should be installed at locations that will ensure the detection of contaminants leaving the site. This will include locating wells within highly permeable groundwater migration pathways identified by the process described above.
Prior to designing the groundwater remediation system and the final groundwater monitoring system, carefully designed pump tests can provide essential information on the aquifer characteristics of the site.
This is just a brief outline of the types of data that should be collected during the Remedial Investigation. It is important to remember that the site characterization is a continuous process that should continue throughout the Remedial Design process, however, information gathered during the early phases of Site Investigation will greatly enhance the final design, save money and time, and ensure that the protection of the public health and the environment. If I can provide additional information, please call me at [phone].

RE: Comments on the Draft Work Plan, Remedial Investigation and
Feasibility Study (RI/FS)
General Electric/Shepherd Farm Site
East Flat Rock, Henderson County
Dear Ms. Bennett:
The North Carolina Superfund Section has received and reviewed the recent RI/FS
Work Plan and has prepared the following comments:
1. Page 2-13. Paragraph 2. ''The thickness of the residual soil ... the transition
zone ... partially weathered rock ... at the GE subsite ... ".
Comment: Please provide isopach and structural contour maps of these
features at all subsites. This information can be useful in determining
groundwater permeability pathways.
2. Page 2-13. Paragraph 3. "Numerous gently to moderately dipping fractures
were observed in the cores."
Comment: What is the orientation of these fractures and how do they
compare to the orientation of fractures and structural features from outcrops
in the region? The literature must be thoroughly reviewed for any available
information data on these features.
After the compilation of all available data, the services of a North Carolina
Licensed Geologist with the appropriate qualifications to do field mapping of
structural features should be obtained. This information will be important for
interpreting aquifer test data and determining migration pathways for
groundwater flow.

3. Page 2-14. Section 2.2.3 GEOLOGY. Paragraph 1, Sentence 1 and
Paragraph 2, Sentence 1.
Comment: While the Site might be considered part of Blue Ridge
Physiographic Province, it is not located in the Blue Ridge Geologic Belt
(See the North Carolina Geologic Map, 1985). The GE Site is located in the
Inner Piedmont Geologic Belt. To understand how contaminants might
migrate from the Site, particularly along groundwater pathways, it is essential
that the geologic setting of the Site be understood.
4. Page 2-16. Paragraph 1. Sentence 2. The effective porosity of the fractured
bedrock is estimated at 10 percent and groundwater velocities are estimated
at 0.4 to 2 feet/ day in the fracture rock aquifer.
Comment: The estimate of the effective porosity for fractured rock is
probably too high. Dominenco and Swartz (1990, Physical and Chemical
Hydrogeology; page 26) indicate that the porosity of fracture rocks ranges from
0 to 10 percent; however, the effective porosity of fractured crystalline rock
ranges from 0.00005 to 0.01 percent. At best, this may represent a difference
of 4 orders of magnitude with the estimate used at the Site.
Depending on the effective porosity used, the groundwater velocity in the
fractured rock is probably several orders of magnitude higher than indicated.
5. Page 2-16. Paragraph 2. "Groundwater flow in the fractured media zone is
controlled by the geometry, orientation, and interconnections within the
bedrock fractures. Because these properties are usually quite variable in
fractured rock aquifers, a complex three-dimensional flow field most likely
exists at this site."
6.
Comment: Detailed information on the orientation of fractures and geologic
structure in region is needed. This information should be collected and
interpreted by a qualified geologist with extensive experience in geologic field
mapping of highly metamorphosed, structurally complex, geologic terrains.

Shepherd Farm Site
Listing Site Inspection Report Findings
Flat Rock, North Carolina
-----~----------------March, 1991
Introduction
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) conducted extensive sampling in May I 990,
as part of its Listing Site Inspection (LSI) at
Shepherd Farm Site in Flat Rock, North Carolina.
The objectives for the LSI were to locate possible
sources of contamination; collect soil, sediment and
groundwater samples; identify all potential path-
ways of contaminant migration; and to evaluate the
site for clean-up under the Superfund program. Ap-
proximately 50 samples were collected from surface
and subsurface soils, residential wells, sediments,
and temporary groundwater monitoring wells.
Site Background
The Shepherd Farm site is located in rural Flat
Rock, Henderson County, North Carolina. From
1957 to 1970, Mr. Shepherd picked up waste from
General Electric and took it to his farm, where it was
dumped and burned. In 1972, Mr. Shepherd began a
trailer park on a portion of his property. Twenty-two
acres including the original trailer park were pur-
chased from Mr. Shepherd in 1981 for development
of the Spring Haven Trailer park. A portion of the
trailer park is located on the southern edge of the
former disposal area. The Shepherd Farm site is
located 2,500 feet southwest of the General Electric
facility.
Listing Site Inspection Results
One source was identified at the Shepherd Farm
site. The former disposal area is located in a dry
pond and wooded area west of the Shepherd home.
Wastes deposited reportedly included cardboard,
wood, nontoxic buffing compound and electrical
parts possibly containing PCB. Also, waste solvents
may have been deposited.
During the LSI 34 soil samples, 5 groundwater
samples from temporary wells, 4 groundwater
samples from private wells and 7 sediment samples
were collected. Several heavy metals were detected
in the soil and sediment samples but at levels below
health concerns.
Four of the soil samples containing PCB were
above the I ppm action level for remedial action at
a Superfund site. This action level is based on actual
ingestion of the soil over a set period of time.
Four private drinking water wells were also
sampled. The only contaminant of concern found in
the private wells was tctrachloroethylene (TCE). At
present, EPA does not have a drinking water stand-
ard for TCE. Scientific evidence docs indicate that
TCE may pose a health risk. The residents using
these wells were notified of the sample results and
were hooked up to Hendersonville City Water Sys-
tem in October I 990.
The primary contaminant migration pathways of
concern are groundwater and surface water.
Future EPA Action
The Environmental Protection Agency is using
the results from this investigation along with data
gathered in previous investigations to evaluate the
Shepherd Farm Site for possible inclusion to the
National Priorities List (NPL) and other remedial
options.
Report Availability
The analytical results of the LSI have been docu-
mented in a final report which is now available at an
information repository established at the Henderson
County Public Library, Main Branch, 301 N.
Washington Street. This repository will allow open
and convenient public access to site related docu-
ments.
A public meeting will be held at 7:30 p.m.,
March 21, 1991, Blue Ridge Community College
Auditorium, Blue Ridge Tech Road, to present the
findings of the LSI and to answer any questions the
community might have.

RE: Telecon with Diane Eskanasy, DEM Groundwater Section-
Asheville Regional Office concerning the Gene Shepherd Farm
I was contacted by Ms. Eskanasy on this date concerning
wells in the vicinity of the Gene Shepherd Farm. She said that the
Cinnamin Woods community well had been sampled in June of 1989 by
Dan Jones, a Sanitarian with the Henderson County Health
Department. Analysis of the water indicated a trace of xylene, and
5.7-ppb of napthalene. According to Ms. Eskanasy, these levels
were not considered high enough to cause an immediate health
threat, however, the wells were scheduled to be resampled 6 months
from the previous sampling date. She indicated that she would
resample the well sometime at the end of November. To date, 8
wells have been sampled by G.E., and 8 residences will be connected
to city water. G.E. applied for an NPDES permit for discharge of

Neal was interested in determining what would happen with
the Shepherd farm site now that it is past the PA stage. I
indicated that the site was recommended for further action,
but that the final evaluation of the site would be through
EPA. I also said that he could find the references for the
PA in our files. He stated that if both the GE site and the
Shepherd Farm site rank out by HRS, and if GE is determined
to be the PRP at Shepherd Farm, then remedial efforts would
be directed at both simultaneously. Mr. Neal said that he
is working on the GE site and that Micheal Bush of GE is
working on the Shepherd Farm Site. I mentioned to Mr. Neal
that if GE does decide to remediate the site(s), they should
discuss their plan with the State Superfund Branch.
