If you want to forward this to Michael please do.
As for the IC issue, I checked the ROD and it states:
1 . "Usage restrictions on capped areas" so we can change "propose" to "implement IC as per the ROD for capped
areas11
•
2. But I'm not to sure about groundwater ... it states, (pages 108 and 109 of the ROD) that '1he GW remedy, will
include GW extraction for 15 years and then the performance will be monitored on a regular basis and adjusted if
warranted" (etc, etc.) then it states '1o ensure clean-up continues to be maintained, the aquifer will be monitored at
those wells where pumping has ceased on an occurrence of at least every 2 years following discontinuation of GW
extraction" ... (etc. etc) then "if it is determined, on the basis of the preceding criteria and the system performance
data, that certain portions of the aquifer cannot be restored" .... then it suggests "IC may be provided/maintained to
restrict access to those portions of the aquifer which remain above remediation goals." Not sure if GW IC's can be
implemented until at least 15 years of GW extraction? Or until pumping is discontinued?
As for the GW remediation goals:
The ROD did have a summary table and it stated that the basis for goal of vinyl chloride was the "CRQL (NC MCL
0.015 ug/1)" and for PCE was "CRQL (NC MCL 0.7 ug/1)".
That's what I found out from the ROD, I'll talk with you about it tomorrow and decide what to change.
See you bright and early!

GE/ Shepard Farm
Five Year Review Comments
If institutional controls are going to be a recommendation, the
recommendation should be specific to which controls should be put
in place and stated as a action. ( note. we should probably discuss
this recommendation to determine if we can actually accomplish
the goal)
Historically I don't think we have been changing the remediation
goals post ROD. I need to verify what is the policy for this.
I assume GE is discharging their production water to the POTW
currently. Are we concerned that there is a problem with the water
the POTW is accepting or we just needing verification that there is
not a problems.
Need new date for triggering action
It appears we are recommending evaluation of the situation, and
offering conclusions at the same time.
It appears that we are using the document we are currently
preparing as a justification reference for the trigger date selected.
"according to the five year ......... (PCOR)" should be deleted.
"The" should be replace with This.
Reference to landfi II B else where in the document suggest that
hazardous constituents were disposed of in landfill B.
Was the surface water discharge, the ponds or something else.
What was the treatment for the creek sediments.
What is a "listing" site inspection.
Was the Seldon Clark property found not to be contaminated.
Briefly state what the change was in the ESD.
• •
Pg. 3. Table I, item 15. Briefly state what the change was in the ESD.
Pg. 4., para 2. Can not discern on figure, the railroad tracks, creek, or the
highway. (Not sure this can be corrected)
Pg. 4., para 5. Could the 26 acres of landspread plots be contributing
contamination to the creek.
Pg. 7, para 1. Has the recreational area been certified safe to be used as such.
Pg. 10, para I. Is their a regulatory reference that can be included here as
confirmation that the USTs have been removed.
Pg. 14, para 2 Was the landfill areas backfilled after verification.
Pg. 14, para 3. Rephrase last sentence to reflect actually what happened. Or
simple state that excavation continued until the conformational
sampling verified the achievement of the remediation goal.
Pg. 15, para I. 3"' sent. "bio" should be inserted after in-situ.

Subject: GE/Shepherd Farm NPL Site -
5 Year Review
Michael,
Please find attached the text portion of the Five-Year Review Report for
the GE/Shepherd Farm NPL Site. A complete hard copy was sent via
overnight
carrier yesterday afternoon. I realize that this is on a very short
turnaround,
but if we could get comments from you by phone or email by Wednesday
(4/2l)morning,
I believe that the document can be safely revised and returned for
signature
by the April 26 deadline.
Two items of note:
1. Photo documentation will be included in final copy.
2. I still need a firm trigger date and justification for its use. I
thought
that we had it nailed but Giezelle indicated that maybe we don't.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any comments or questions.
Thanks for your help,

GE 5-yr Review Comments
It is stated in the Executive Summary and elsewhere in the document that since
the quantitation limits for PCE and vinyl chloride have changed that the
remediation goal should also change. Please check with the attorney on this. In
the past, we have not lowered remediation goals, especially on PRP-lead sites
where we have a signed CD, because the PRP could argue that we are asking
them to meet a moving target.
Site Chronology -Generally this table only includes EPA actions or actions that
are in CERCLIS -it starts with site discovery, and includes things like the PA, SI,
NPL listing, etc. This table seems too detailed and a lot of it is based on
assumptions.
In Section 3.2, need to include the word "residential". Does "rural" imply
residential?
In Section 4.2 under Landfill A, last paragraph, first sentence -Please change to
"A total of 11,698 cubic yards of material were excavated from Landfill A."
In Section 4.2 under OSI, need to include Shepherd Farm soils in the first
sentence.
In Section 4.2, the second paragraph under Groundwater -The remedial action
was not initiated with the construction of the AGRS. GE constructed it on their
own prior to the RI/FS. It was merely modified for the remedial action.
In Section 4.2, the second paragraph under Groundwater, last sentence -The
effluent air is not sampled to ensure POTW requirements are met.
In Section 4.2, the last paragraph under Groundwater, first sentence -The
groundwater pump and treat system was only considered the AGRS until the
ROD was signed. After that date, it was the GRS -groundwater remediation
system.
In Section 4.3, 4th bullet, Add the following to the end of the second sentence -
"and to ensure that residents are not drinking contaminated water in their private
well."
In Section 5.1, add the word "Review" between "Year'' and "Report" in the last
line.
In Section 5.5, under Soil -Pre-remedial data usually refers to PA or SI data, not
data before the remedial action, i.e., RI data.
• •
' 12. Under Final Remedial Action Report for Soil, need to add that confirmation
sampling was also performed to determine if the top foot of soil was PCB-free at
Shepherd Farm.
13. Under site inspection, need to include the names of the NC DENR personnel.
14. In the Site Inspection section, metals that are above NC standards are
mentioned. These metals need to be specified; their concentration, the NC gw
standard, the remediation goal, and the POTW standard.
15. In Section 8 -How is GE the party responsible for institutional controls at the
Shepherd Farm Site?
16. Note -In previous 5-yr reviews, the O&M costs for the last 5 years are specified.
Since the tables and figures are not included in this draft, there is no way to
determine if this information is included.
17. Note -There are a number of typos that need correcting.

Comments on the Draft Five Year Review
General Electric/Shepherd Farm Superfund Site
General Comments:
1. The former Sheldon Clark Subsite was deleted by EPA and is therefore not relevant to the
remedial action and five year review. All references to the Sheldon Clark Subsite should be
deleted from the report.
2. The site description in Section 3 is outdated and incorrectly describes historic features and
operations as present day features and operations. This section needs to be modified to
reflect current conditions. Please refer to Section 1.1.1 of the Final Groundwater Remedial
Design Report (GeoTrans, 2000) for a more current description of the site conditions.
3. One of the recommendations in the Five Year Review is for GE to implement institutional
controls. Note that GE can assist in the implementation of the institutional control, but does
not have the mechanism to implement controls on property of other landowners, such as the
Spring Haven community. This recommendation should be deleted or modified to reflect this
comment.
4. One of the recommendations in the Five Year Review is for GE to abandon the residential
well at the former Womack residence. Similar to General Comment 3, GE can assist in the
implementation of such action, but GE is not the property owner and is not responsible for the
residential well. This recommendation should be deleted or modified to reflect this comment.
5. Figures were not available for review.
Specific Comments:
1. Page 4, Section 3.1, Paragraph 3. The report states that a guard is on duty at all times. The
current security schedule is as follows: A security guard is on duty from 4 PM - 8 AM on all
business days and 24 hours on non-business days. From 8 AM - 4 PM on business days a
receptionist is on duty who oversees the security system.
2. Page 4, Section 3.1, Paragraph 4. The report states that the plant includes a chlorine building.
Chlorine is no longer used at the facility and the chlorine building has been converted into an
oil storage building.
3. Page 4, Section 3.1, Paragraph 5. Landfill A should be referred to as former Landfill A.
Landfill A has been excavated.
4. Page 4, Section 3.1, Paragraph 5. The report states that there is a landspreading area. GE has
not used the back lot for landspreading in many years and the area should not be referred to
as such as the practice no longer occurs. The area referenced is an open grassy field that was
formerly used for landspreading.
5. Page 4, Section 3.1, Paragraph 5. The report states that there is an inactive sludge pond. The
inactive sludge impoundment is now the landfill and should not be referred to as a sludge
impoundment.

6. Page 4, Section 3.1, Paragraph 5. The report states that southeast of the warehouse is an
active wastewater treatment pond. This is not a true statement. The pond is not an active
wastewater treatment pond. It was used as such in the past but is currently used for
stormwater.
7. Page 4, Section 3.1, Paragraph 5. The report states that there is an underground drain line
used for transport of wastewater. This is not a true statement. The underground drain line
was formerly used to transport wastewater, but now conveys stormwater.
8. Page 4, Section 3.1, Paragraph 5. The report states that there is an active landfill for
construction debris. This feature is no longer present.
9. Page 7, Section 3.1, Paragraph I. The report refers to a I-acre wastewater pond. This is not
a true statement. The small pond conveys stormwater.
10. Page 7, Section 3.1, Paragraph I. Landfill B should be referred to as former Landfill B.
Landfill B has been excavated.
11. Page 7, Section 3.1, Paragraphs 3-5. The Seldon Clark Subsite is not part of the
GE/Shepherd Farm Site and does not need to be described in this report.
12. Page 7, Section 3.1, Paragraphs 4-5 and Page 9, Section 3.1, Paragraph I. These paragraphs
include a general description of site location, topography, geology, and hydrogeology and
should be inserted after the first paragraph of Section 3.1, or provided as a separate
subsection.
13. Page 9, Section 3.1, Paragraph I. There is no information about wetlands in the surface water
section. Since the remedy design accounted for impacts to wetlands, it would be appropriate
to add a description of the wetland and bunched arrowhead in this section.
14. Page 9, Section 3.3, Paragraph 2. There is no mention of the excavation and removal of PCB
material from Landfills A and B nor backfill with clean material before any paving occurred.
These should be referred to as former landfills for clarification. A reference to these landfills
being excavated would be appropriate in this section.
15. Page 10, Paragraph 2. The paragraph describes the history of the Shepherd Farm property.
Please add the fact that Mr. Shepherd operated a disposal company at the property.
16. Page 13, Section 4.2, Paragraph I. Please change the word consists to consisted in the first
sentence.
17. Page 14, Section 4.2, Paragraph 2. Please change yard to yards and was to from in the first
sentence.
18. Page 14, Section 4.2. Paragraph 3. Please revise the last sentence to state that the cleanup
criteria of 10 ppm total PCBs was achieved using confirmation sampling.
19. Page 14, Section 4.2, Paragraph 5. Please revise the paragraph to make it clear that all soils
from the Shepherd Farm Site were added to the OSI.

20. Page 15, Section 4.2, Paragraph 3. No water goes through GAC and it does not effect the
treatment of the water in anyway. The release of carbon and accumulation of water in the
VGAC may have reduced the removal efficiency of the VGAC for the air effluent from the
air stripper. Please revise accordingly.
21. Page 16, Section 4.2, Paragraph 2. The report describes the AGRS, which was installed and
operated prior to the GRS. Operation of the GRS should be added.
22. Page 16, Section 4.2, Bullet 5. There are 6 surface water stations.
23. Page 21, Section 5.5, Paragraph l. Please revise the paragraph to make it clear that all of the
data discussed and included in the tables and figures is RI data and therefore historic data.
24. Page 21, Section 5.5, Paragraph 2. Groundwater sampling is now done on a semi-annual
basis (March and September). Treatment system sampling continues to be performed
quarterly (December, March, June and September). Revise accordingly.
25. Page 34, Section 5.5, Paragraph 5. Please remove the information regarding the Seldon Clark
Subsite as it is not part of the Site.

Action for Soil. The Remedial Action of Shepherd Farm Soil Revised Final Report was

Subsite was approved by the EPA on October 4, 2000.

28. Page 55, section 5.6, Bullet 2. Please change lend to lends.
29. Page 55, Section 5.6, Paragraph l. This paragraph should be revised as follows. "Three
additional items were noted during the interview process. The first was regarding the
treatment of metals. Extracted groundwater is treated for VOCs, used in the GE facility,
treated for metals with other process water, and discharged to the POTW. Of the five metal
RTCs, only manganese concentrations exceed the North Carolina groundwater standards in
the extracted groundwater and none of the metal concentrations exceed the POTW limit.
Therefore, treatment of the groundwater for metals is unnecessary and GE intends to seek
approval from the POTW to discontinue metals treatment of the extracted groundwater."
This verbage should be reflected in the Executive Summary (page viii).
30. Page 56, Section 6.1, Paragraph 2. Please note that the carbon unit in no way affects the
removal of VOCs and SVOCs from the groundwater. All effluent water concentrations have
been non-detect. The carbon unit only affects the removal of RTCs from air effluent from the
airstripper.

Michael, Dave & Stephanie. I have reviewed the GE/Shepherd Farm draft
Five Year Review Report that you submitted via e-mail on 4/15/04 (no
figures, attachments and few tables). I am providing comments based on
clarity and consistency regarding the Five Year Review process guidance.
My review did not evaluate any technical aspects of the report. See
below for my 10 comments ...
1. The document needs to include a signature page.
2. Five Year Review Summary Form -The form indicates that there are
multiple OUs. However, only one OU is identified in WasteLAN and the
ROD. Therefore, please change the answer to multiple OU question from
yes, to No.
3. Five Year Review Summary Form -Include a date for Construction
Completion or insert "N/A"
4. Introduction, last paragraph on page -Because what's stated in the
PCOR isn't correct, change the second sentence to, "The triggering
action for this statutory review is the date construction activities
first began at the Site in relation to the Remedial Action.11
5. Site Chronology -Is the date for "Final Remedial Action for soil
contamination at the GE Subsite" the completion date or start date?
Please clarify and add a line item for the start date (if this is the
completion date), since there seems to be confusion regarding the
accurate trigger date.
6. Executive Summary, Five Year Review Summary Form, and Section 7.0 -
The Issues sections talk about clean-up levels for PCE and vinyl
chloride. The values listed in those sections, 0.7 ug/L PCE and 0.5
ug/L vinylchloride do not match the concentrations found in Table 2, ROD
cleanup goals. However, I later read in section 5.4 that these values
are the ones that would be consistent with current ARARs/detection
limits, not ROD clean-up values. Please clarify these sections to
reflect ROD established clean-up values versus current ARARs. For
example, instead of saying "3. It is now technically possible to obtain
lower quantitation limits in water samples for two site specific
compounds, tetrachloroethene (PCE) and vinyl chloride. Therefore,
clean-up goals of 0.7 ug/1 for PCE and 0.5 ug/1 for vinyl chloride
should be changed to reflect these new values." A clearer wording would
be, "3. It is now technically possible to obtain lower quantitation
limits in water samples for two site specific compounds,
tetrachloroethene (PCEI and vinyl chloride. Therefore, the clean-up
goals for PCE and vinyl chloride should be changed to reflect current
ARARs to the extent that detection limits allow. This would change the
ROD established clean-up goal of PCE from 1 ug/L to 0.7 ug/1 (state
ARARI and the ROD established cleanup goal of vinyl chloride from 1 ug/L
to 0.5 ug/1 (current detection limit, which is higher than state ARAR of
0 .15 ug/L)."
7. Section 5.2 -
through newspaper
to a few people?
state so here.
Was the community notified about the 5YR process
ad, fact sheets, etc or just through telephone calls
If a fact sheet or other media ad was used, please
8. Section 5.6 -Include any state or federal representatives in the
bullet list of participants in the Site inspection.
9. Sections 5.6 and 6.1 -You discuss O&M of the groundwater system,
12/20/2004 5:05 PM
R~: GE/Shepherd Farm NPL Site -5 Year Review. •
2 of 3
but what about the DSI cap? Are there any O&M activities associated
with it? Does it appear to be in good shape?
10. Section 10.0 -Because of uncertainties regarding when this report
will actually be signed and because you listed it due in 4 years, unless
you intend to do a review sooner than required, replace this section wit
h, "The next Five-Year Review for the GE/Shepherd Farm site is required
to be completed within five years from the EPA Region 4 Waste Management
Division Director's (or his designee) signature/approval date of this
document."
Thanks for the opportunity to review!

5 Year Review
Michael,
Please find attached the text portion of the Five-Year Review Report for
the GE/Shepherd Farm NPL Site. A complete hard copy was sent via
overnight
carrier yesterday afternoon. I realize that this is on a very short
turnaround,
but if we could get comments from you by phone or email by Wednesday
(4/21)morning,
I believe that the document can be safely revised and returned for
signature
by the April 26 deadline.
Two items of note:
1. Photo documentation will be included in final copy.
2. I still need a firm trigger date and justification for its use. I
thought
that we had it nailed but Giezelle indicated that maybe we don't.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any comments or questions.
Thanks for your help,
Dave

I remember writing a memo to the file and to HQ detailing the reason why
the 5-yr review was not due in 2002 as stated in the PCOR, but I cannot
find it on my computer. It is in the file somewhere. But the 4/26/99
date is the only one in CERCLIS. There are two RAs in CERCLIS; the GE
landfill and the pump-and-treat system. So, if you go back and use the
1997 date, the file will really be arbitrary.
Anyway, that's my 2 cents worth.

Hi Dave. The 4/26/04 date came from the earliest RA start date entered
in WasteLAN/CERCLIS (4/26/99). CERCLIS was HQs and EPA management's
primary source for tracking tool on when reports are due. I've come to
realize that that may not be the most accurate source. The 1997 dates
that you mentioned aren't in CERCLIS. The National Contingency Plan
(NCP) (40 CFR §300.430(f) (41 (iii I states: "If a remedial action is
selected that results in hazardous substances, pollutants, or
contaminants remaining at the site above levels that allow for unlimited
use and unrestricted exposure, the lead agency shall review such action
no less often than every five years after the initiation of the selected
remedial action.' EPA HQ recommends using the date of on-site
construction (i.e. mobilization date), which is typically later than the
contract award date. So it looks like October 14, 1997 would be the
trigger date if this is a statutory review, as seemed to be indicated by
the PCOR language that you mentioned. So, unless Giezelle or Michael
have more site-specific insight, I would recommend using October 14,
1997 as the trigger date if that is the date of the "initiation of the
selected remedy11 •

Subject: Trigger Date for GE/Shepherd
Farm NPL Site 5-Year
Review
Michael/Samantha,
I hate to bring this topic up again but I feel that EPA needs to make
the
call regarding the official trigger date for the GE/Shepherd Farm NPL
Site.
The Preliminary Close-Out Report (Sep 2000) states that the trigger date
was "five years after the award of the first RA contract and was to be
completed
prior to November 2002." I have contacted GeoTrans, GE's consultant, to
determine the actual award date for the contract for soil remediation
activities
at Shepherd Farm. This date is likely between August and October 1997.
Additionally, October 14, 1997 is the date on which remedial action
began
with soil excavation activities at the Shepherd Farm Subsite.

Re: Trigger Date for Gr/Shepherd Farm NPL Site .ar Review •

Regardless of which of the above trigger dates is used, the 5-Year
Review
is considerably late. Do we have a source for the April 26, 2004
submittal
date or was that data arbitrarily picked by Phil V? What date would EPA
prefer that NC DENR include in the 5-Year Review Report?
Thank you for your assistance,

Hey Dave,
The trigger date stated in the PCOR was "five years after the award of the
first RA contract and was to be completed prior to Nov. 2002". I couldn't
get in touch with Giezelle and could not find the date of the award of the
contract for the RA or what she thought the trigger date was. Next week I
can call the contractor and find out from them what the award date was. The
date in Table 1, Oct. 14, 1997, is the actual start of the RA at the
Shepherd Farm site, it was the beginning of the residential relocation and
excavation began on that date too (stated in the RA of Shepherd Farm Soil
Report, Sept 1998).
Glad the day went well--I'm so sorry that you had such a long day (lots of
comp time I guess). Thanks for getting me all the info so quick! I got
Diane"s fax and she said there were no concerns. But she thought that
instead of just attaching the info that it should be summarized in the text
of the report and interview pages added in an Attachment. Also she added
that once the review if final, Dr. Gary Hill wants a copy sent to him(?).
He sounds really mad in her interview (spoke of legal action against EPA
when 10 year waiver has ended).
Thanks and I'll talk with you soon--probably Monday and I think I might come
in on Tues to get your comments on the last draft and the new stuff and let
you read over things (hopefully) one last time before we send the draft out.
Stephanie

Stephanie,
What was the actual trigger date given in the PCOR? And it was the date
of the award of the contract to the RA contractor, right? Now, what is the
source of the Oct 14, 1997 given in Table l? Is it the actual date that
the soil RA began at Shepherd Farm (i.e., mobilization, set up, first
shovel-full ... )?
The trip went well.

Please note that "O&M" is referred to throughout this checklist. At sites where Long-Term
Response Actions are in progress, O&M activities may be referred to as "system operations" since
these sites are not considered to be in the O&M phase while being remediated under the Superfund
program.

Samantha,
Your guess is as good as mine as to the source of the dates used in the Agreement.
Regardless, we will use
the dates listed in CERCLIS for our trigger dates and subsequent reviews. In regards
to the trigger date for
the GE/Shepherd Farm Site, I instructed Stephanie to use the April 30 (now April 26)
deadline in order to
agree with the information in the CERCLIS database. We will also use the May 15,
2005 deadline for the Davis
Park Road TCE Site. As far as the lack of a fourth site, the NC DENR Superfund
Section will perform those
5-year reviews as directed by Region 4. If Region 4 does not have a fourth site for
this Agreement, we will
wait for FY2006, hope for a renewal of the Agreement, and perform those 5-year
reviews as needed by Region 4.
