1.1 PURPOSE OF REPORT
SECTION 1
INTRODUCTION
Risk Assessment Report
FCX-OU2 Statesville Site
Section: 1
Revision: 3
Date: June 1994
A baseline risk assessment has been prepared to evaluate the nature and extent of the threat to
public health caused by the release or potential release of hazardous substances from the FCX-
Statesville Superfund Site in Statesville, North Carolina.
1.2 SITE BACKGROUND
The following information was excerpted verbatim from the FCX Phase II Remedial
Investigation, 1992, conducted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Environmental
Services Division (EPA-ESD).
1.2.1 Facility and Locale
The FCX-Statesville Site (FCXS) is located on Highway 90 approximately 1.5 miles west of
downtown Statesville at the intersection of Phoenix Street and West Front Street (Figures 1-1
and 1-2). The area is characterized by the presence of light and heavy industry, small
businesses, residential neighborhoods, and a school, in the immediate vicinity. The coordinates
of the site are latitude 35° 47' 11" north, longitude 80° 54' 58" west. (Ref. 5)
The site shown in Figure 1-3, comprises about 5.5 acres and is bounded by the Norfolk-Southern
Railroad and Burlington Industries (formerly Beaunit Mills) to the north, the Carnation Milk
Company to the west, a small business/residential area immediately south of West Front Street,
and a pre-fabricated utility shed sales lot on the east side of Phoenix Street.
1.2.2 Site Description
The Site, defined as the area south of the Norfolk-Southern Railroad, east of the Carnation Milk
Company property, west of Phoenix Street, and north of West Front Street, is currently
abandoned. Figure 1-3 shows the location and identification of site buildings and structures,
as well as prominent off-site structures.

Section: 1
Revision: 3
Date: June 1994
The dominant on-site structure is the warehouse located on the western half of the property. It
consists of two attached structures, an upper building, constructed in 1969 or 1970, and a
smaller, lower building constructed in 1982. (Ref. 6) The area south of the warehouse is totally
paved except for a narrow grass strip along the sidewalk. The eastern half of the Site is
dominated by a large concrete pad, six to seven inches thick, 62-feet wide and 190-feet long,
extending approximate! y 190-feet from the eastern end of the warehouse along the north property
line. The next level below the pad is covered almost entirely with approximately six to twelve
inches of crushed, compacted gravel. Several smaller areas within this area, mostly tractor
trailer pads and parking area, are paved with either concrete or asphalt.
The area described, except for the paved area between the warehouse and the street, is
completely fenced, mostly with chain-link fencing. The fence is in good condition and access
is gained, via Phoenix Street, through a 36-foot wide gate along the eastern end of the Site. The
gate is locked with a heavy chain and padlock.
A small, vacant two-story brick building is located at the southeastern comer of the site just
beyond the eastern fence. This building served as offices while FCXS was in operation. Most
of the area between the eastern fence and Phoenix Street is covered with grass except for area
occupied by the building.
There are two known underground tanks present at the site, a 7,500-gallon gasoline storage tank
and a 10,000-gallon diesel fuel storage tank. These are located in the front parking area near
the fuel pumps, near where the upper and lower sections of the warehouses join. These tanks
were checked during the remedial investigation and were determined to be essentially empty.
The east tank contained 0.67-feet of water; the west tank contained 0.05-feet of petroleum
product floating above 0.22-feet of water. There has been no reported leakage from the tanks
nor does groundwater data from nearby monitoring wells indicate that any significant leakage
has occurred. (Ref. 7)
A total of twelve groundwater monitoring wells, shown on Figure 1-3, are also present at the
site. Four were installed in 1976 as part of a pre-purchase environmental evaluation conducted
for Southern States Cooperative (Ref. 6). Four were installed in 1989 in conjunction with the
removal action conducted by US-EPA (Ref. 8)(Ref. 9), and four were installed in June 1991 for
the remedial investigation.
1.2.3 Previous Investigations
During the summer of 1991, primarily in the months of June, July, and September, Operable
Unit (OU) of the remedial investigation at the FCX-StatesviHe, North Carolina, was conducted.

investigations, and in the absence of any site-specific remediation, future risks are based on the
assumption that current soil and groundwater chemical concentrations will persist.
1.4 ORGANIZATION OF RISK ASSESSMENT REPORT
This baseline risk assessment summarizes and interprets data collected during site investigations
to identify and characterize site contaminants; describe contaminant exposure pathways and
receptors; and assess actual or potential adverse impacts on human health from contaminants
associated with FCXS. This risk assessment report includes four major components:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Site Operational History (Section 2)
Identification of Contaminants of Potential Concern (Section 3)
Exposure Assessment (Section 4)
Toxicity Assessment (Section 5)
Ecological Assessment (Section 6)
Risk Characterization (Section 7)
Remediation Goal Options (Section 8)
Section 3, "Identification of Contaminants of Potential Concern," presents a summary of the
evidence of environmental contamination at the site and selects the contaminants of concern to
be evaluated in the risk assessment. For elements and compounds that may occur naturally, site-
related environmental concentrations are compared to available background data to assist in the
selection of contaminants of potential concern.
Section 4, the "Exposure Assessment", presents the important contaminant migration pathways,
exposure routes, estimated daily intakes for human receptors, and site characteristics affecting
the contaminant migration. This information is then combined to develop a conceptual exposure
model for the site and to select exposure pathways. Section 3 also presents a series of
mathematical exposure equations which are used to calculate the estimated daily intakes of
contaminants by the receptors.
Section 5, "Toxicity Assessment", presents the results of the tox1c1ty assessment. Human
toxicity data for both noncarcinogenic and carcinogenic effects are presented for the
contaminants of concern. Dose-response criteria are identified for chronic health effects for
each contaminant and for each potential exposure route (e.g., oral, dermal).
Section 6, "Ecological Assessment", describes the potential impacts on aquatic and terrestrial
life due to contamination at the FCXS site. The evaluation includes site-specific contamination

data, information on animal and plant species present, and exposure and toxicological
information about potential effects of the contaminants of concern of the indigenous biota.
Section 7, "Risk Characterization," integrates the information developed in the three preceding
sections. Carcinogenic and noncarcinogenic human health risks are quantified and presented for
the contaminants of concern. Significant human health risks are discussed in conjunction with
uncertainties.
Section 8, "Remediation Goal Options," presents site specific remediation goals for the
chemicals in each media pathway that exceeded risks as determined in Section 7.
The methods used in conducting this risk assessment are those presented in the U.S. EPA Risk
Assessment Guidance for Superfund --Volume I (Human Health Evaluation Manual) (U.S. EPA,
1989 band c), and the Volume I Supplemental Guidance (U.S. EPA, 1991c). Other guidance
documents used in the preparation of this report include, the U.S. EPA Superfund Exposure
Assessment Manual (U.S. EPA, 1988), and the U.S. EPA Exposure Factors Handbook (U.S.
EPA, 1989a).

SECTION 2
SITE HISTORY
2.1 SITE OWNERSHIP AND OPERATIONAL HISTORY
Risk Assessment Report
FCX-OU2 Statesville Site
Section: 2
Revision: 3
Date: June 1994
The information presented in this section is excerpted from the FCX Phase II Remedial
Investigation 1992, conducted by the U.S.EPA-ESD.
2.1.1 Chronological Development of the Site
Based on the available file information, it appears that FCXS began operations at the site as an
agricultural supply distribution center about 1940 and continued to operate the site until
bankruptcy in September 1986. Prior commercial use of the site, if any, is not known. It
appears that two main activities were conducted at the site. Initial operations consisted of the
formulation, repackaging, warehousing and distribution of farm chemicals, primarily pesticides
and fertilizer, and the milling and sales of feed grains. This activity was initially restricted to
the eastern two-thirds of the site. Figure 2-1 shows the approximate locations and identifications
of site buildings present during this time. The year of the photograph on which Figure 2-1 was
based is estimated to be 1950-1951, estimated from the types of vehicles present on-site. Initial
operations also consisted of the cleaning and treatment of seed grains, apparently with mercury-
containing compounds. (Ref. 6)(Ref. ?)(Ref. 10)
At some time after 1950-1951, the site underwent several structural and operational changes.
The western half of the horse-shoe shaped building in the center of the site was demolished and
the upper (western) portion of the current warehouse was constructed, extending near to the
property line with the adjoining Carnation Milk Company property. The smaller building
adjoining the feed milling and bagging buildings, at the intersection of Phoenix Street and the
railroad tracks near the northeastern corner of the site, was also removed. Repackaging of liquid
pesticides ceased in I 966. Dust repackaging was discontinued in 1969. This was the status of
the site in 1969 based on historical aerial photography. Figure 2-2 shows the locations and
identifications of the site buildings in 1969. The only known significant operational and
structural changes that occurred after this time were the repackaging of rat bait in the early
1980's and construction of the lower portion of the warehouse in 1982. (Ref. ?)(Ref. 10)

Risk Assessment Report
FCX-OU2 Statesville Site
Section: 2
Revision: 3
Date: June 1994
The facility was EPA licensed to manufacture or repackage pesticides including, at various
times, DDT, DDD, Lindane, Chlordane, Malathion, Aldrin, Heptachlor, and a tobacco spray,
probably MA-30. Notable spillage is reported to have occurred at the transfer areas (Ref. 7).
2.1.2 On-Site Pesticide Burial, 1966
Potentially the most important historical activity at the site, from an environmental standpoint,
was the alleged burial of DDT, DDD, and possibly liquid chlordane in 1966. Approximately
10,000 pounds of these compounds were allegedly buried in two (2) adjacent trenches
approximately JO-feet deep (Ref. 4)(Ref. 5). Figure 2-3 shows the area investigated by EPA
in 1989 in an attempt to locate these trenches. The material was supposedly a mixture of
powders and liquids in a variety of packaging, including paper bags, glass jars and other types
of typical consumer packaging. After burial was completed, the trenches were covered with six
feet of on-site soils and a reinforced 8-inch thick concrete slab was poured over the area. This
was followed by construction of the upper portion of the current warehouse. According to a
former FCXS employee, the possibility exists that the trenches were obliterated soon after burial
during extensive construction related grading. During this time other packages were taken to
the old Statesville landfill (Ref. 6)(Ref. 7)(Ref. 8)(Ref. 10).
2.1.3 Additional On-Site Burial
During the site reconnaissance on February 12, 1991 conducted by EPA-BSD, a fom1er
employee of the construction company responsible for much of the past site demolition and
construction was interviewed. He indicated that he and other employees were instructed to place
various bagged and bottled pesticides in a hole located in the current vicinity of the northeast
comer of the lower portion of the warehouse. The hole was apparently located within
approximately 35-feet of the railroad tracks. Possible locations could range from the inside
comer of the lower section of the warehouse to a location beneath the large concrete slab east
of the building. This area is shown in Figure 2-3. An additional reconnaissance was conducted
in April 1991. At that time, interviews with FCXS employees indicated that an additional pit,
possibly a product mixing pit, was originally located within the horseshoe-shaped building (see
Figure 2-1). The approximate location beneath. the current warehouse floor is shown in
Figure 2-3 and coincides with an elevator-type structure visible in the historical photographs.

Risk Assessment Report
FCX-OU2 Statesville Site
Section: 1
Revision: 3
Date: June 1994
The site was ranked and included on the National Priority List of Superfund Sites because of
pesticide contamination observed in groundwater beneath the site. In addition to the pesticides
detected in samples from on-site monitoring wells, significant chlorinated solvent contamination
had also been observed.
The sampling program for the remedial investigation consisted of extensive on-site and off-site
soil sampling, for both surface and subsurface soil (199 samples), as well as groundwater
sampling from on-site monitoring and off-site process and potable wells (17 samples). Surface
water and sediment samples (21 samples) were also collected from locations within the
potentially affected wet-weather and perennial drainage pathways associated with run-off from
the site. An exploratory boring effort was also conducted at selected locations in an attempt to
locate pesticide burial trenches reported to be present beneath the floor of the warehouse.
A Record of Decision (ROD) was signed in September 1993 for OU!. A remedial alternative,
extraction and treatment was selected for groundwater. The pump and treatment system was
designed to protect human health and prevent groundwater from discharging to surface water
bodies to protect ecological health. The soil remediation was finalized due to continued field
work to delineate extent of contamination.
After completion of OU! of the remedial investigation at the FCX-Statesville site, two major
aspects of the investigation were found to warrant further investigation. Groundwater
monitoring during OU! indicated that groundwater at the site boundary, south of the warehouse
and lying along West Front Street, was contaminated with both pesticides and chlorinated
solvents. Additionally, efforts during OU! to locate the trenches purported to exist beneath the
warehouse were not successful. OU2 of the remedial investigation at the site was conducted
I) to expand the groundwater investigations conducted during Phase I in an attempt to delineate
the extent of pesticide contamination off-site and 2) to make an additional attempt to locate the
buried trenches.
A Phase ill investigation will be conducted to delineate any off-site sources for soil and
groundwater contamination in June, 1994.
1.3 SCOPE OF WORK
The scope of this risk assessment evaluates the Phase I and Phase II Remedial Investigations
(EPA-ESD, 1992) conducted at the FCXS Superfund Site. The data collected and used in the
Risk Assessment include samples of groundwater,, surface water, sediment, and surface soil.
Additional soil samples ranging in depth from Oto 18 inches taken from the area in July 1993
are also included in the risk assessment. Current and future risks are based on these

Risk Assessment Report
FCX-OU2 Statesville Site
Section: 2
Revision: 3
Date: June 1994
The FCXS site was evaluated using the EPA Hazard Ranking System and proposed for inclusion
on the National Priority List (NPL) on June 24, 1988. The site scored 37.93, based solely on
the groundwater pathway. The site was placed on the NPL on February 21, 1990. (Ref. 11)
2.2 SUMMARY OF PAST INVESTIGATIONS
The site has no past enforcement records, however, there have been several sampling
investigations, of varying scope, at the FCXS Site. These investigations were conducted by the
North Carolina Department of Human Resources (NCDHR), US-EPA, and Fred C. Hart for
Southern States Cooperative, one-time potential purchasers of the site. Following is a summary
of the investigations. Designations for wells sampled for these investigations are not necessarily
consistent from one investigation to another. Data may be compared using well locations as
shown in the figures, however.
2.2.1 Fred C. Hart Associates, Inc., February 1986 (Ref. 6)
During February 1986, Fred C. Hart conducted a pre-purchase environmental evaluation of the
site for Southern States Cooperative, Inc. Four groundwater samples were collected from wells
installed as a part of the evaluation, and five composite soil samples were collected from
locations around the site. All samples were analyzed for priority pollutant volatile organic
compounds. Sample locations and analytical summaries for these samples are shown in
Figures 2-4 and 2-5.
Analyses of composite surficial soil samples (unknown interval) detected nine (9) pesticides, of
which chlordane and 4,4-DDT were found in the highest concentrations, 8,000 micrograms per
kilogram (µg/kg) and 2,600 µg/kg, respectively. Pesticides and volatile compounds were
detected in the groundwater samples. Gamma-BHC was the prominent pesticide found in three
of the wells, including the upgradient well. Other isomers of BHC, as well as a possible
metabolite of endrin ketone, were also detected. Trichlorofluoromethane and tetrachloroethylene
were the volatile organic compounds detected at the highest concentrations. Well MW-3 was
the most contaminated with pesticides; well MW-2 was the well most contaminated with volatile
organic compounds.

Revision: 3
Date: June 1994
The groundwater data may be somewhat suspect as the wells were installed with little regard for
quality control and quality assurance. Reportedly, the wells were constructed with friction-fitted
PVC, taped together with duct tape, and the drilling equipment was not adequately cleaned
between wells.
2.2.2 NCDHR. May 1986 (Ref. 7)(Ref. 10)
The NCDHR conducted a Site Inspection in May 1986. The on-site monitoring wells and a
deep, water supply well west of the site on Carnation Milk Company property were sampled,
as well as six soil sample locations. Figure 2-6 contains an organic compound analytical
summary with sample locations for this investigation.
Most of the soil sample locations at this time were in the same areas as those sampled by Fred
C. Hart in February 1986. One sample was collected south of West Front Street in the yard of
a residence. Lindane was once again identified in a sample from well MW-3. Fluorocarbons
were identified in well MW-4, the upgradient well, and chlorinated solvents were identified in
well MW-2 and in the deep well on Carnation property, east and west of the warehouse,
respectively. Caprolactum, a component of nylon manufacturing, was detected in all on-site
monitoring well samples.
The soil sampling data revealed that, in addition to chlordane, DDT and dieldrin were also found
at several locations in the vicinity of the warehouse. These compounds were also detected in
the soil sample from the yard of the residence across West Front Street from the warehouse.
Groundwater and soil samples were also analyzed for drinking water metals. Barium,
chromium, and mercury were detected in one or more of the monitoring wells; however, none
of the occurrences were over the Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCL) for the analities. The
soil data were reported incorrectly as milligrams per liter (mg/L) and, although it does not
indicate any significant occurrence, no conclusions can be drawn from this information.
2.2.3 EPA {WESTON•SPER) Emergency Response. January 1989 (Ref. 8)
In January 1989, WESTON•SPER, Atlanta, Georgia, conducted an emergency response
sampling investigation for EPA at the FCXS site to determine the nature of pesticide
contamination at locations previously sampled by Fred C. Hart and the NCDHR and to attempt
to locate the two on-site burial trenches allegedly used for pesticide disposal in 1966. No
pesticides were detected in any samples collected outside the warehouse building. The detection
limits for these samples, however, were somewhat higher than those for the previous studies.

Revision: 3
Date: June 1994
Further, no evidence of the alleged burial was observed in any of the approximately 30 borings
completed through the floor of the upper warehouse building. Subsequent conversations with
a past FCXS employee indicate that the borings may have been located too far to the east to
intercept the trenches.
2.2.4 EPA (WESTON•SPER) Emergency Response. August 1989 (Ref. 13)
Four (4) groundwater monitoring wells were installed at two locations at the Site in
August 1989. At each location, two (2) wells were installed as a shallow (45-foot depth) and
deep (125-foot depth) cluster. These wells and the four (4) Fred C. Hart wells were sampled
for a variety of volatile organic compounds and pesticides. Figure 2-7 shows the locations of
these samples and the analytical summary for the compounds detected in the samples.
The most significant contamination identified was the mixture of various purgeable halogenated
hydrocarbons (halocarbons). This contamination was observed at the greatest concentrations in
well MW-5D, a deep well located near the center of the Site near West Front Street, and
well MW-1, a shallow well located in the parking lot against the south face of the warehouse.
All wells showed some degree of halocarbon contamination, with tetrachloroethylene being the
compound identified at the highest concentrations in most samples. Pesticides, primarily BHC
isomers were detected in all wells, except for wells MW-6S and MW-6D.
2.2.5 EPA (0.H. Materials) Emergency Response. January 1990 (Ref. 14)
During the week of January 8, 1990, 0. H. Materials sampled all eight of the on-site monitoring
wells for the Emergency Response and Removal Branch, EPA, Atlanta. The results of this
sampling are summarized and shown on Figure 2-8. The results indicate the presence of
pesticides in all wells, except for the cluster of wells in the site's northeast comer. Other
important observations are the presence of trichlorofluoromethane in the well located near the
northwest comer of the site and the presence of significant concentrations of tetrachloroethene,
1, 1-dichloroethene, and I, 1-dichloroethane in many of the wells located in the vicinity of the
southeast comer of the warehouse, as well as the cluster of wells in the northeast comer of the
site.
2.2.6 NUS Screening Site Inspection, Burlington Industries. 1990 (Ref. 15)
During the week of August 20, 1990, NUS Corporation conducted a screening site inspection
at the Burlington Industries facility located immediately north of the FCXS site. During this
inspection, two groundwater samples were collected from wells MW-6S and MW-6D, located
near the northeast comer of the FCXS site. The location and analytical data for each well are

Risk Assessment Report
FCX-OU2 Statesville Site
Section: 2
Revision: 3
Date: June 1994
shown on Figure 2-9. Of note in these samples is the presence of toluene and dichloroethene
in the deep well, MW-6D.
2.2.7 U.S. EPA. Region IV. In-House Remedial Investigation, Phase I. 1991 (Ref. I)
During the summer and early fall of 1991, Region IV, U.S. EPA conducted Phase I of its in-
house remedial investigation at the FCX-Statesville site. The investigation involved extensive
sampling of on-and off-site soils, groundwater, surface water, and sediment.
Two-hundred and thirty-seven (237) environmental samples were collected from the various
media for this characterization. Several significant findings were reported and are summarized
in the following subsections.
2.2.7.1 Pesticide Contamination of On-site Soils
The results of soil sampling indicate that significant soil contamination exists at the site. The
contamination is predominantly DDT and its degradation products, DDD and DDE. The most
highly contaminated area is beneath the floor of 'the upper section of the warehouse in the
general area where an in-ground pesticide mixing pit was previously located. Concentrations
of DDT as high as 830,000 µg/kg were reported for this area. Figure 2-10 shows the
distribution and concentrations of DDT at the site. DDD and DDE concentrations were lower
than those observed for DDT, and their respective distribution patterns were somewhat more
restricted. Based on these results, it appears that significant contamination is generally restricted
to the upper two feet of soil but may be four feet or greater in the area of highest contamination.
Chlordane (and its constituents) and dieldrin were also detected but do not appear to be present
at levels observed for the DDT compounds, nor do they appear to be widespread. Only minor,
isolated occurrences of DDT compounds and chlordane were observed in samples collected from
off-site areas. These do not appear to be significant in any way.
2.2. 7 .2 Pesticide Groundwater Contamination
Samples from on-site monitoring wells indicated that both the surficial (saprolite) and bedrock
portions of the groundwater system beneath the site are contaminated with pesticides, primarily
lindane and the other BHC compounds, as well as endrin, ketone, and chlordane. Figure 2-11
shows the distribution and concentrations of pesticides detected in groundwater samples from on-
site monitoring wells.

2.2. 7 .3 Chlorinated Solvent Groundwater Contamination
Risk Assessment Report
FCX-OU2 Statesville Site
Section: 2
Revision: 3
Date: June 1994
A variety of chlorinated solvents was detected in groundwater samples from on-site monitoring
wells and the process well located on the Carnation property west of the site. The most
significant contaminant observed was tetrachloroethylene, with concentrations in excess of
100 micrograms per liter (µg/L) being detected. Figure 2-12 shows the concentrations of the
identified compounds.
2.2.7.4 Chlorinated Solvent Contamination of Surface Water
Analytical results from surface water and sediment samples collected during the Phase I
investigation did not appear to indicate a significant problem with any form of contamination
known to be associated with the FCXS site. Significant chlorinated solvent contamination,
however, was detected in a surface water sample collected at a location immediately north of
Burlington Industries. Specifically, tetrachloroethylene was detected in a seep sample collected
at the head of a stream at a concentration similar to that observed in samples from on-site
monitoring wells. This is indicative of a significant groundwater contamination problem, located
not only beneath the FCXS site, but also beneath much of the entire Burlington Industries
facility. Figure 2-13 shows the location of this sample and its concentration.
2.2. 7 .5 Exploratory Boring Results
An extensive effort was put forth to locate the alleged pesticide-burial trenches. This effort
consisted of the borings associated with the 27 soil s.ampling locations within the warehouse, as
well as nine deep, power-augered exploratory borings. Little or no significant material was
found to indicate the presence of buried pesticide material, either in bags or glass containers.
2.2.8 U.S. EPA. Region IV. In-house Remedial Investigation, Phase II. 1992 (Ref. 2)
Phase II of the FCXS remedial investigation was primarily an expanded groundwater
investigation and trench location effort. Existing, on-site permanent monitoring wells and a
network of twelve (12) temporary monitoring wells, located both on-site and off-site, were
sampled to provide further groundwater characterization within the warehouse in an effort to
locate trenches which were alleged to exist under the warehouse floor.

2.2.8.1 Groundwater
Risk Assessment Report
FCX-OU2 Statesville Site
Section: 2
Revision: 3
Date: June rn94
Groundwater samples were collected to satisfy two primary objectives. The first objective was
to provide data from an additional round of sampling for all of the permanent monitoring wells.
These samples were collected during the week of May 11, 1992.
The second objective was to provide additional on-site and off-site characterization of pesticide
and chlorinated solvent contamination identified during the initial phase of the remedial
investigation. Results of Phase I groundwater sampling indicated that both the overburden and
bedrock portions of the underlying aquifer are contaminated with pesticides and chlorinated
purgeable organic compounds. Because EPA is currently pursuing delineation of the chlorinated
solvent plume with Burlington Industries, the suspected source of the contamination, the Phase
II groundwater sampling program was designed primarily to evaluate the extent of pesticide
contamination. Samples for purgeable organic compound analyses were also collected, however,
to obtain additional information on the extent of the chlorinated solvents. Figure 2-14 shows
the locations of existing permanent monitoring wells and temporary monitoring wells.
Most of the temporary monitoring wells were installed to provide additional data to be used to
evaluate the lateral extent of contaminants in the overburden portion of the aquifer. One of the
temporary wells, however, was installed to provide data for evaluating contamination previously
identified in permanent well, MW-3. Pesticide contamination observed in MW-3 was
significantly higher than detected in any of the other permanent wells. Temporary well, T-11,
was installed immediately upgradient to determine if the contamination was actual groundwater
contamination or was, perhaps, due to the presence of contaminated well installation. As with
all of the temporary wells installed on-site for this investigation, precautions were taken to
prevent the accidental or inadvertent introduction of contaminated surficial material into the
saturated zone during sampling. Prior to augering for well installation at each location, the first
three feet of soil were removed by augering. This interval was cased-off by pushing 12-inch
diameter PVC pipe into the ground. All loose material was removed from inside the pipe prior
to the continuation of drilling for well installation· to minimize the impact of any surficial
material on the groundwater sample.
At all locations, temporary well borings were completed into the saturated zone. A minimum
of 10-feet of penetration below the water table was usually accomplished. Drilling was
conducted using hollow-stem auger methods utilizing a natural soil plug. After drilling to the
completion depth a drill rod with a small roller cone bit was used to knock out the soil plug.
The temporary wells were installed after the drill rod and bit were removed. Each well was
constructed using a 2-inch diameter Schedule 40 PVC riser attached to a I-foot long pre-packed,

screened section. The screen was constructed with No. 10 slotted Schedule 40 inner and outer
sleeve throughout the I-foot length. The sand contained within the annular space was sized to
be retained by the slots.
A sample was also collected from a bedrock well one mile south of the site which supplies water
to a local private water system. This sample was collected to determine if the site has had any
noticeable impact on the deep aquifer. The location of this well is shown on Figure 2-15.
2.2.8.2 Soil
The results of the Phase I investigation did not specifically dictate additional soil sampling during
Phase Il. A contingency existed, however, to allow for collection and analysis of soil samples
if conditions warranted, such as the discovery of obvious waste material or pesticide product
during the trench exploration. Additionally, soil samples to be analyzed for total organic carbon
(TOC) were requested by Water Management Branch staff to model fate and transport of
pesticide contaminants in soil and groundwater. Rationales for all of the soil samples collected
for Phase Il of the investigation are described below. Their locations are shown in Figure 2-16.
The two soil samples, FS2-Tll-SLA and FS2-Tll-SLB, were collected during hollow-stem
augering for installation of temporary well T-11, near permanent monitoring well MW-3.
Pesticide-like odors were evident emanating from the auger returns at this location from depths
significantly deeper than the deepest Phase I samples collected at nearby locations. Composite
samples were collected directly from the auger flights from two different depths, approximated
by the driller, to be from 2-feet to 25-feet and from 30-feet to 35-feet below groundwater,
respectively.
Soil sample FS2-05-SD was composited from several power-auger boring locations inside the
warehouse. While conducting this aspect of the investigation, a white, powdery material was
observed mixed with the red clay returns at several ~djacent boring locations. It was presumed
that the material could either be weathered feldspathic gneiss bedrock or relict powered pesticide
material buried at that location. Soil samples FS2-T5-SLA, -SLB, and SLC, were collected for
TOC analyses only and were collected during the installation of off-site temporary wells T-5 and
T-6. Three subsurface soil samples were collected at each location to provide a vertical profile
of total organic carbon within the upper seven (7) feet of soil, where the bulk of organic carbon
would be available for partitioning with organic pesticides.

2.2.8.3 Sediment
Risk Assessment Report
FCX-OU2 Statesville Site
Section: 2
Revision: 3
Date: June 1994
During a preliminary review of the Phase I data, the Office of Health Assessment expressed
some concern over the source and general occurrence of the polyaromatic hydrocarbon
compounds (P AHs) identified in many of the Phase I soil and sediment samples collected from
locations along and near the railroad tracks. The existing data were not sufficient to demonstrate
that the presence of these compounds was due to the proximity of the treated cross-ties to the
railroad tracks and siding, or if their occurrence was possibly due to past site-related
contamination. Two samples were collected from areas adjacent to the railroad tracks, one east
of the site and south of Valley Wholesale, and one 'west of the site and north of the Carnation
building, to provide additional data to evaluate the source of the PAH compounds. Figure 2-17
shows the sample locations. Arsenic and carcinogenic polyaromatic hydrocarbon concentrations
are presented in Figures 2-18 and 2-19.
2.2.8.4 Contaminant Source Investigation
Although approximately sixty (60) hand-augered and power-augered borings had been conducted
at locations inside the warehouse in a cumulative effort extending back to 1989 with no physical
evidence of buried material observed in any material returned to the surface, an additional
attempt was made to locate the buried material.
The Phase II effort consisted of the advancement of approximately twenty (20) to twenty-five
(25) additional borings in areas adjacent to and within the areas previously investigated. All new
borings were completed to depths of twenty-one (21) to twenty-four (24) feet below the
warehouse floor surface.
Factoring in the greatest thickness of fill anticipated beneath the warehouse floor in any location,
these boring depths should have been more than adequate to fully penetrate, if intercepted, any
trench present to depths of at least fifteen (15) feet below original grade in the areas
investigated. In addition, many of the previous boring and sampling locations which had not
been completed to these depths were re-visited and reamed out to the same depths. Although
no material such as paper bags, glass bottles, plastics, or other materials consistent with pesticide
packaging was found, a suspicious white material, described in Section 2.2.8.2, was identified
and submitted for analysis. Figure 2-20 shows the soil boring locations conducted for this
investigation.

2.2.9 July 1993 Soil Sampling
Risk Assessment Report
FCX-OU2 Statesville Site
Section: 2
Revision: 3
Date: June 1994
These soil samples were taken to characterize the deep soils at the site, especially those soils
beneath the upper warehouse where the majority bf the pesticide contamination was identified
during the Phase I and II remedial investigation. Soil samples were also collected and analyzed
for dioxins. The samples having pesticide contamination results were collected at a depth greater
than 18 inches; as a result, they were not included in this risk assessment. However, they are
summarized in Table 3-5B. The sampling points 18 inches or shallower were incorporated and
some contain dioxin contamination but no additional pesticide contamination. Thirty-eight
samples, excluding duplicate samples, were select~d from nineteen locations in Areas 1,2, and
3. Sample locations in the three areas for the dioxin/furan samples are shown in Figure 2-21.

Risk Assessment Report
FCX-OU2 Statesville Site
Section: 3
Revision: 3
Date: June 1994 ·
SECTION 3
CONTAMINANTS OF POTENTIAL CONCERN
3.1 INTRODUCTION
The objective of this section is to characterize the extent of site contamination in all affected
media on which the risk assessment is based using sampling data completed in Phase I and II
of the Remedial Investigation (RI) for the FCX-Statesville Site. The results of the data
evaluation are used in both the human health and ecological risk scenarios for the potential
receptors. It should be noted that potential chemicals of concern may differ between the human
health and the ecological risk assessments because' of differences in expected potential exposure
and toxicity to designated target receptors. Tables 3-1 to 3-5B summarize, by medium, the
analytical results of the site-related chemicals.
The data were summarized following the criteria outlined in the Work Plan (WESTON, 1992).
Only those chemicals positively· identified in at. least one sample in a given medium were
included in the summary tables for that medium. As a screening criterion for the inorganic
compounds in each medium, the maximum sample concentration had .to exceed twice the
background mean concentration for inclusion in the quantitative risk assessment (EPA, 1992).
Where detection frequency was not applicable as a screening criterion, a concentration-toxicity
screening was developed for noncarcinogenic organic and inorganic compounds. The objective
of these screening procedures is to determine those chemicals which are most likely to contribute
significant risks.
A Phase I RI for the FCXS was conducted in June 1991 (EPA, 1991). Various media were
sampled including: groundwater, surface soi], subsurface soil, surface water, and sediment.
The soil samples were divided into these "areas":
Area I -off-site residential area
Area 2 -on-site FCXS -area south and east of the building
Area 3 -on-site FCXS -area underneath the FCXS building
Areas 1, 2, and 3 are shown in Figure 2-21.
The surface soil samples were collected at 0-12 inches and subsurface soil samples were
collected at depths greater than I 8 inches.
The Phase II investigation was conducted during April 1992. Eleven temporary wells were
installed and additional soil and sediment samples; were collected as described in Section 2.2. 8.

The additional soil samples were collected during July 1993 and were analyzed for dioxin in the
surface soil at (0-18 inches) intervals, and pesticides, semi-volatiles, and dioxins in subsurface
samples (deeper than 18 inches). The additional subsurface soil data are shown in Table 3-5B.
The surface soil data are inCOIJJOrated into the existing area data sets.
3.2 CHEMICALS OF POTENTIAL CONCERN
A number of volatile, semi-volatile, pesticides, and inorganic chemicals were detected in various
media at FCXS. The list of site-related potential chemicals of concern was developed based on
background data and/or an evaluation of the toxicity and concentration of compounds as
described by EPA (1989, 1992). .
3.2.1 Screening Criteria
The discussion that follows describes the screening criteria that were used subsequently to
develop the contaminants of concern for various media at FCXS.
3.2.1.1 Screening Against Background
In order to discern site-related contamination from ambient concentrations, the maximum on-site
concentration had to be at least two times greater than the arithmetic average of the respective
background samples (EPA, 1992). The "two-times rule" was applied to all inorganic chemicals
for which there were data, including carcinogens such as arsenic, beryllium, cadmium,
chromium, lead, and nickel.
3.2.1.2 Concentration-Toxicity Screening
A concentration-toxicity screening was used for all site-related potential chemicals of concern,
including both inorganic and organic (volatile and semi-volatile) chemicals as discussed by EPA
(1989). In order to calculate a conservative estimite of risk, carcinogenic compounds were not
screened using this method. Noncarcinogenic organic compounds or any inorganic chemicals
that were not screened out using the "two-times rule" described above were included in the
concentration-toxicity screening. The screening procedure described below was conducted for
potential chemicals of concern in individual media (i.e., groundwater, surface water, sediment,
and soil).
The concentration-toxicity screening was developed by first calculating an individual chemical
score for those chemicals for which toxicity values were available. In order to be consistent,
oral reference doses.(RfDs) were preferentially used in the concentration-toxicity screening. The
individual risk factor was calculated for each chemical by multiplying the single high detect by

the inverse of the respective RID (i.e., I/RID) (EPA, 1989). This screening method is
illustrated in Table 3-6.
In· the next step, risk ratios were calculated by dividing the individual risk score by the sum of
the risk scores for all compounds being screened in a particular medium. The risk ratio is the
fraction an individual chemical represents of the total risk for the medium under consideration.
Any chemical that contributed less than 1 % of the total risk was deleted from the list of potential
chemicals of concern.
3.2.1.3 Essential Nutrients
Several chemicals that are considered to be essential nutrients (e.g., calcium, magnesium, iron,
potassium, and sodium) were detected in various media at the FCXS site. Essential nutrients
were dropped from the list of potential chemicals of concern if they were less than twice the site
background concentrations or toxic only at very liigh doses.
3.2.1.4 Health Criteria
Those chemicals for which there were no health criteria were dropped from the list of potential
chemicals of concern due to the fact that they cannot be quantitatively assessed in the risk
assessment. Lead, however, was retained since it is ·known as a possible human carcinogen.
Its health impacts are analyzed using the Lead Uptake/Biokinetic Model Version 0.5
(UBK Model).
3.2.2 Media Screening
Groundwater, surface water, sediment, surface soil, and subsurface soil were sampled at the
FCXS site for organics, pesticides/PCBs, and inorganic chemicals. The analytical results of the
sampling are summarized in Table 3-1 for groundwater, Table 3-2 for surface water, Table 3-3
for sediment, Table 3-4 for surface soil, and Table 3-5 for subsurface soil. Tables 3-1 through
3-5 provide the frequency of detection, the range of detected concentrations, and the arithmetic
mean of the detections for site-related samples. The selection process for contaminants of
concern in individual media is discussed below. The tables were reproduced from the Phase I
and II Remedial Investigation Analytical Data (EPA, 1992), and the July 1993 investigation
(EPA, 1993).

3.2.2.1 Groundwater
Risk Assessment Report
FCX-OU2 Statesville Site
Section: 3
Revision: 3
Date: June 1994
Table 3-1 presents the 46 volatile, semi-volatile, pesticide, and inorganic chemicals that were
detected in 28 permanent and temporary monitoring wells at the FCXS site. Monitoring Well
04 was considered the background well. According to the Phase I Remedial Investigation Report
for the FCX-Statesville Superfund Site (1992), groundwater beneath the western portion of the
site is flowing generally in an east-southeasterly direction. Under the eastern portion of the site,
however, the contour pattern changes significantly, indicating a shift in flow direction to near
southerly. Since MW-4 is located northwest of the FCX building, it is considered upgradient
of the _site. Thus, according to groundwater flow direction, it should not be site-related and, as
a result, was designated the background well. • No chemicals were removed as potential
chemicals of concern based on a comparison to backfround.
Five naturally occurring essential nutrients were eliminated because they were detected at low
concentrations and have low toxicity. These essential nutrients included:
• Calcium
• Iron
• Magnesium
• Potassium
• Sodium
Based on the concentration-toxicity screening analysis (Table 3-6), seven additional chemicals
were removed as potential contaminants of concern:
•
•
•
1, 1-Dichloroethane •
Endrin •
Strontium •
•
1,2,4-Trichlorobenzene
1, 1, 1-Trichloroethane
Trichlorofluoromethane
Xylene
Based on the screening procedures described above for groundwater, 34 potential contaminants
of concern were selected. Of the 34, 25 were quantitatively evaluated in the risk assessment
(Table 3-7). The eight chemicals that were not quantitatively evaluated in the risk assessment
because health criteria were not available included:
• Aluminum • Delta-BHC • Chloromethane • Cobalt • Gamm'a-Chlordene
• Titanium • Endrin Ketone
• Yttrium • Oxychlordane

The IO organic and 17 inorganic chemicals detected in surface water are presented in Table 3-2.
Five naturally occurring essential nutrients were eliminated because they have low toxicity and
were detected at low concentrations: 1
•
•
Calcium
Iron
• Magnesium
•
•
Potassium
Sodium
Noncarcinogenic organic and all inorganic chemicals that exceeded background levels were
further screened using the concentration-toxicity method (EPA, 1989). Carbon disulfide and
trans-1,2-dichloroethene were dropped from the list of contaminants of potential concern as a
result.
Based on the screening procedures described above, 20 potential contaminants of concern for
surface water are present. Of the 20, only 17 ,can be quantitatively evaluated in the risk
assessment because health criteria are not available for aluminum, cobalt, and titanium (Table
3-7).
3.2.2.3 Sediment
The 20 organic and 21 inorganic potential chemicals of concern detected in sediment · are
presented in Table 3-3. Of the 21 inorganic chemicals detected, the following compounds did
not exceed background screening levels:
• Aluminum

As shown in Table 3-5, subsurface soil samples were analyzed for volatile organics, semi-
volatile organics, pesticides/PCBs, and inorganics.
Three of the 22 inorganic chemicals detected in subsurface soils, aluminum, arsenic, and lead,
were eliminated from the list of potential chemicals of concern through a comparison to
background levels.
Naturally-occurring essential nutrients, including calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron, and
sodium exceeded background levels but were eliminated using the essential nutrients method
because they are only toxic at high concentration levels. Titanium, yttrium, and cobalt can not
be quantitatively evaluated because they lack health criteria.

Revision: 3
Date: June 1994
Noncarcinogenic organic chemicals (volatile and semi-volatile) and the noncarcinogenic inorganic
chemicals that exceeded background levels were then screened using the concentration-toxicity
screening method (EPA, 1989). Seven chemicals were removed based on this method:
• Selenium
• Strontium
• Acetone
• Benzo(GHI)perylene
• Endrin
• Fluoranthene
• Pyrene
Therefore, 31 potential contaminants of concern for subsurface soil are listed in Table 3-7.
However, remediation cleanup goals for subsurface soil will be established based on modeling
to protect groundwater and on other accepted goals, as available. Therefore, subsurface soil data
will not be quantitatively evaluated in the risk assessment.
3.3 CONCLUSIONS
Contaminated media at the FCXS site were screened using a comparison to background
(according to EPA, 1991) for inorganic chemicals and a concentration-toxicity screening for
noncarcinogenic organic and all inorganic chemicals that exceeded background. Naturally-
occurring essential nutrients were also screened from the list of potential contaminants of
concern, unless their concentrations exceeded the two times rule for inorganics. Chemicals that
lack toxicity values were not included as chemicals of concern (however, lead was assessed in
the UBK Lead Model). The chemicals of concern for the FCXS site are presented in Table 3-7.

obtained values ranging from 10·5 to 10·• ft/min. The hydraulic conductivities from this study
are comparable and the values obtained during t_his study of Phases 2, 4, and 5 were expected
to be slightly higher as many of these wells are adjacent to local hydraulic gradient highs.
Transmissivity values generated from the data ranged from 0.198 to 30.1 ft2/day. This high
value is greater than ten times any other value in Table 3-5 and is not consistent with the other
values, based upon average hydraulic conductivity values obtained by CGC (1992), WESTON
(1993) and the other values obtained during this study. Without this value, the average
transmissivity is 1.41 ft2/day. Transmissivity val_ues were found to be highest in Phase 5 wells
and lowest in Phase 4. Values were not calculated for wells screened in rock, as the thickness
of the aquifer at those locations could not be obtained.
Groundwater velocities obtained from Phase 2 wells ranged from 4.57 x 10·3 to 5.23 x 10·3 per
day. Velocities in Phase 4 ranged from 1.54 x 10-3 to 6.12 x 104 per day and in Phase 5 the
values for velocities ranged from 0.234 to 3.75 x 10·2 per day. Groundwater velocities
calculated for the Phase 6 Expansion by CGC (1992) indicated an average velocity of 1.44 x 10·3
per day. WESTON (1993) calculated a range of values from 5.4 x 10·2 to 6.4 x 104 per day.
A majority of the groundwater velocities calculated during this study are comparable to those
determined by CGC and WESTON.
Based upon groundwater activities obtained for overburden materials at Phases 2, 4, and 5, the
time required for groundwater to flow from an individual phase to a potential receptor can be
calculated. This time value was calculated for the potential receptor (i.e., domestic well) nearest
each individual Phase of the landfill. A minimum and maximum value was obtained for the time

The time required for groundwater to travel from each Phase to the nearest potential receptor
varies according to the Phase. For Phase 2, the minimum and maximum times required to travel . I
to the nearest potential receptor were 131 and 150, years a difference of only 19 years. The
average of these two values was 140.5 years. In Phase 4, only one travel time could be
calculated. The time required for groundwater t9 flow from Phase 4 to the nearest potential
receptor is 4,625 years. For Phase 5, the nearest potential receptor used in the calculation was
well No. 14 (see Table 2-1). WESTON notes that groundwater flow from the southeastern edge
of the Phase 5 fill area based upon the potentiometric map of April 30, 1994 (Figure 8,
Appendix A) may potentially flow to the southeast towards well no. 14. This is a very
conservative use of a potential receptor, however the potential does exist. Therefore, based on
the data in Table 3-6, the minimum and maximum travel times were found to be 14 and 10
years, respectively. The average of these two is 57.5 years. It shoulg be noted that these
calculations are based on direct travel of groundwater flow and do not consider important
effects, such as tortuosity, retardation, and other hydrogeologic factors.

SECTION 4
EXPOSURE ASSESSMENT
Risk Assessment Report
FCX•OU2 Statesville Site
Section: 4
Revision: 3
Date: June 1994
The exposure assessment uses the site description and contaminant characterization presented in
the previous sections to identify potentially exposed human populations (actual and potential
exposure pathways) and to calculate estimated daily intakes of the contaminants of concern.
Behavioral and physiological factors influencing exposure frequency and levels are presented in
a series of exposure scenarios as a basis for quantifying contaminant intake levels by receptor
populations for each identified exposure pathway. The results of the exposure analysis are
applied in the assessment of health risks in subsequent sections.
The exposure assessment process involves four main steps:
• characterization of the exposure setting
• identification of the exposure scenarios
• quantification of the exposure
• identification of uncertainties in the exposure assessment
This section incorporates site-specific information such as climate, geology, hydrogeology,
population demographics, land use, water use, agricultural practices, etc., to predict the pollutant
levels to which receptors could be exposed. Once these exposure levels are determined, they
will be compared with the appropriate health effects criteria (Section 5) to characterize health
risks (Section 7).
4.1 CHARACTERIZATION OF EXPOSURE SETTING
Sections 4.1.1 through 4.1.4 were taken verbatim from the FCXS Phase II Remedial
Investigation.
4.1.1 Climate
The climate in Iredell County, North Carolina is classified as fairly mild and is influenced by
the mountain ranges to the northeast and the Atlantic Ocean to the southeast. Prevailing winds
are from the southwest, although northeast winds do frequently occur in the autumn. Relative
humidity averages about 70% throughout the year. Monthly total precipitation generally ranges
from about 3-inches during October and November to about 5-inches during July and August.
The following are summaries of the area's temperatures, precipitation, and stom1 events (7):

FCX-OU2 Statesville Site
Section: 4
Revision: 3
Date; June 1994
The FCXS site is located in Iredell County, in the Upper Piedmont Plateau of North Carolina.
The topography of the area can be generally characterized as gently rolling and ·sloping with
slopes on-site ranging up to 1.5%. Slopes in the immediate area range from 2% to 6%,
however. Elevations within a 4-mile radius of the site range from 740 to 970 feet above mean
sea level (15)(18).
Surface waters identified within a 5-mile radius of th_e Site include both Third and Fourth Creek,
as well as their tributaries. The closest of the creeks in Third Creek, which is approximately . .
1.5 miles southeast of the Site (two miles stream distance). As can be seen in Figure 4-1, all
surface water within this area discharges into the South Yadkin River approximately 15 miles
to the east. This river is a major drainage feature for the Piedmont region east and south of the
Site (9).

4.1.3 Geology and Soils
4.1.3.1 Regional Geology and Area Soils
Risk Assessment Report
FCX-OU2 Statesville Site
Section: 4
Revision: 3
Date: June 1994
The FCXS site is located in the Piedmont Physiographic Province, within the lithologies and
structural feature referred to as the Blue Ridge-Inner Piedmont Belt (19). Rock types within this
region are primarily gneiss and schists, as well as graduations of the two types. These rocks
are typically fractured to varying degrees and may display a prominent gneissic schistose
structure. In addition to this metamorphic suite of rocks, granitic intrusions are also common
in this region. Available geologic maps indicate that the FCXS site is located very near the
contract between a granitic intrusion and a rock unit characterized as a hornblende gneiss.
Figure 4-2 is typical of these maps.
Soils in the general area of the Site belong to the: Lloyd Association. These soils, located on
broad ridges with short side slopes, are characterized as deep, well drained soils with a subsoil
of dark-red clay. The underlying lithology is typically a mix of acidic and basic rocks. (18)
4.1.3.2 Site-Specific Geology and Soils
While conducting soil sampling and while installing monitoring wells for the remedial
investigation, there was ample opportunity to ~xamine surficial and subsurface soils and
geological materials. Observation of these materials indicate that the site is located within the
large, irregular band of hornblende gneiss shown near the center of the geologic map in
Figure 4-2. The literature indicated that hornblende gneiss typically weathers to a deep red or
brown soil at the surface in this region. Based on' the deep red to brown soils observed at the
site, it is presumed that the site is underlain by the hornblende gneiss. (18)(19)
The site is located near the eastern edge of the hornblende gneiss, near its contact with the
granitic intrusive body just to the east. Numerous pegmatitic stringers, characterized by white
to light tan weathered coarse crystalline material, including quartz and large weathered feldspar
crystals, were encountered in several of the boreholes drilled during monitoring well installations
on site, as well as in several of the power-augered holes placed through the warehouse floor.
Pegamatites or pegmatitic stringers are typically found in country rock material, near contacts
between igneous intrusive bodies and the surrounding country rock.
Soils and weathered overburden of varying thickness, collectively referred to as residuum, overly
the gneiss. The soil is classified as a fine sandy loam which has been eroded. In the immediate
area, the residuum ranges in thickness from only a few feet to over 100 feet, averaging 35-feet
thick. Boring logs for wells installed at the FCXS site during the remedial investigation and

previous investigations indicate that residuum at the Site is up to 60 to 70 feet thick. (19) (20)
During drilling associated with pennanent monitoring well construction for the Phase I
investigation, depths to rock ranging from 45 feet to 60 feet were encountered. The shallower
depths of overburden were encountered near the top of the ridge, the area located between the
FCXS site and Burlington Industries.
4.1.4 Groundwater
4.1.4.1 Regional Hydrogeology
A general, hydrogeological scenario has been developed for the Piedmont region of North
Carolina and other geologically similar areas. Typically, a layer of residuum, comprised of
surficial soil and saprolite, overlies a fractured, unweathered bedrock. The type of bedrock, the
nature of the weathering interval, and the degree of fracturing varies from one area to another.
In the most general.tenns, the saprolite serves as a groundwater reservoir, created primarily by
the accumulation of infiltrated precipitation. This reservoir supplies groundwater to the
fractures, as well as faults and other secondary penneability features in the bedrock.
Groundwater systems in these areas, therefore, are generally one, interconnected system, with
the majority of groundwater within this system usually occurring at depths less than 150 feet.
The groundwater surface within the residuum is nonnally a subdued replica of the surface
topography, (i.e., groundwater flow generally occurs from higher elevations to lower
elevations). Flow is typically perpendicular to potentiometric contour lines and towards the
direction of streams and rivers, where groundwater discharge occurs. (19)(20)
Yields for wells in the areas are highly variable and depend on a number of factors. In general,
saprolite wells have lower yields than wells installed in the fractured bedrock. Within the
bedrock, yields are a function of the number and size of fractures, faults and other penneability
features encountered by the well bore, as well as pumping level. The average yield for drilled
wells 6-inches in diameter in the area is less than 19-gallons per minute, although the deep well
located on the Carnation Milk Company property reportedly yields in excess of 500-gallons per
minute. Many home water supply wells yield less than I-gallon per minute. (19)
4.1.4.2 Aquifer Use
Although there are several public water supplies w_ithin Iredell County, including the Statesville
public water supply, the West Iredell Water Company, and the Iredell County Waste
Corporation, there are apparently no consumers within a 4-mile radius of the site which rely on
a groundwater-based public water supply. There are numerous homes, however, representing
as many as 4,500 people within the 4-mile radius of the site, which have individual private water

4.2 EXPOSURE SCENARIOS
The FCX-Statesville site was an agricultural supply distribution center operation from 1940 until
1986. Notable spillage was reported to have occurred at unknown transfer areas. Moreover, an
alleged on-site burial in 1966 of DDT, DDD, 'and possibly liquid chlordane is especially
significant. Also, interviews with past employees confinned improper disposal of pesticides and
chemical containers.
Despite extensive sampling in Phase I and II of t,he Remedial Investigation conducted by the
United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA), buried pesticides were not located.
However, various media were determined to be contaminated: groundwater, surface water,
sediment, surface soil, and subsurface soils.
Although the FCX site is currently abandoned, there are residential areas in the vicinity. As a
result, the FCX site could be developed for future residential use. Based on current and possible
future land use, five exposure scenarios are proposed:
• Off-site Resident
• On-site Trespasser
• Future On-site Resident without Building
• Future On-site Worker with Building
• Future On-site Worker without Building
These scenarios represent the individuals with maximum potential exposure to site-related
chemicals of concern.
The five scenarios and their respective potential exposure pathways are listed in Table 4-1. The
relationship between the fate and transport of site-related chemicals of concern and the receptors ·
is described in the conceptual site model section. The following narrative discusses the rationale
for pathways and routes of exposure for each scenario.
4.2.1 Current Trespasser
Current trespassers are evaluated because they may be exposed to chemicals of concern if they
gain access to the site. While on site, it is assumed that the trespasser would be exposed to
surface soil contaminants. The most likely candidate for a trespasser is assumed to be the off-

site (7-12 yr) resident. The routes of exposure considered for the current trespasser are the
incidental ingestion and dermal contact with surface soil, surface water, and sediment.
Exposure to chemicals of concern in groundwater is not evaluated in the current trespasser
scenario because there is no current use of groundwater at the site. Potable city water is
currently being supplied and used at the site.
4.2.2 Current Off-Site Resident
Current off-site residents are evaluated because they may be exposed to chemicals of concern
that have migrated off-site. Current off-site residents are evaluated for ingestion and dermal
contact of surface soil. Only the child resident (7-12) will be evaluated for incidental ingestion
and dermal contact of surface water and sediment, and for exposure to on-site soils (Area 2).
4.2.3 Future On-Site Worker
The future worker is evaluated because of potentjal exposure to on-site soils. This scenario
assumes the current facility will be demolished in the future. Therefore, the workers' exposure
scenario includes ingestion and dermal contact with surface soils surrounding the building and
with surface soils beneath the facility (Areas 2 and 3).
4.2.4 Future Resident
Three individuals, an adult, a child resident (1-6), and a child resident (7-12), are evaluated in
the future use exposure scenario. This exposure, assumes the current facility will undergo
residential development. For sites where future rdsidential development or development on a
nearby tract is plausible, exposure to air, soil/sediment, surface water, and groundwater will be
evaluated if the potential exists for exposure to these media. The routes of exposure evaluated
for surface water and sediment will include dermal contact and incidental ingestion. Only the
child (age 7-12) resident will be assumed to receivd exposure from sediment and surface water
during play activities. The groundwater pathways evaluated for the future resident include
ingestion of drinking water and inhalation of volatile contaminants while showering. The surface
soil exposure pathway will include Area 2 and Area 3 for incidental ingestion and dermal
contact.
4.3 CONCEPTUAL SITE MODEL
The conceptual site model for the FCX site incorporates information on the potential chemical
sources, affected media, release mechanisms, routes of migration, and known or potential human

receptors. The purpose of the conceptual site model is to provide a framework in which to
identify potential exposure pathways occurring at the site and to aid in identifying data gaps.
Information presented in previous reports on the site characterization, contamination
characterization, local land and water uses, and potential receptors is used to identify potential
exposure pathways at the site.
An exposure pathway consists of four elements (EPA, 1989a). When all of these elements are
present the pathway is considered complete. The assessment of pathways by which human
receptors may be exposed to contaminants includes an examination of existing migration
pathways (e.g., soil, air, water) and exposure routes (e.g., inhalation, ingestion, dennal
absorption), as well as those that may be reasonably expected in the future.
After the sources of contaminants are identified, the next step in the development of the
conceptual model is to determine mechanisms of release into envirol)mental media. The primary
release mechanisms are leaching and leaks from former buried wastes. Secondary release
mechanisms include infiltration and human activity (i.e., excavation in the future residential
scenario).
Contaminated groundwater and soil are believed to be the major sources of potential exposure
for human receptors, followed by surface water .and sediment. The following paragraphs
describe the pathways by which human receptors can be exposed to contaminated media. The
conceptual site model is presented in Figure 4-3.
•
•
Groundwater -Groundwater can tie contaminated through the infiltration of
chemicals of concern from the surface and subsurface soils. Exposure to
contaminated groundwater is not evaluated in the current off-site resident scenario
because city water is currently supplied to the area. However, groundwater use
is evaluated for the future on-site re$ident and will incorporate all groundwater
sample data collected on-site and off-site. Groundwater-related pathways
evaluated for the future on-site adult and child residents will include ingestion and
inhalation of VOCs while showering.
Soil -Surface soil represents a major secondary source of contamination. A
current off-site resident and on-site trespasser may be exposed to surface soils.
The inhalation route for surface soil exposure is not applicable due to the large
amount of paved and vegetatively covered area at the site. A potential future use
may involve demolition of the FCX facility, which may result in the release of
contaminants contained in the surface soil under the building. Therefore, a future

worker will be evaluated for surface soil exposure with and without the building.
The future on-site resident would be potentially exposed to surface soil if the
building were removed as well.
• Surface Water and Stream Sediment -Extensive exposures to the drainage area
and Third Creek are unrealistic. ; Therefore, only the off-site child (7-12)
resident, the trespasser (7-12), and the future child resident (7-12) playing in the
creek will be evaluated. Yet, assuming the contaminant concentrations remain
constant (conservative approach), only the current scenario needs to be quantified
since exposure assumptions would be identical in the future scenario. Surface
water and sediment may provide sources of exposure for the child at play, but do
not represent major secondary sources.
4.4 EXPOSURE DOSE MODELS AND ASSUMPTIONS
This subsection presents the mathematical models that are used to calculate the intakes (i.e.,
doses) of substances of concern by each receptor through the applicable exposure routes (see
above, Conceptual Site Model). The exposure models are presented in tabular form. Each table
defines the variables for the exposure route and includes the assumptions (i.e., exposure
parameters) used in the model for each scenario. Additional information regarding the
assumptions is presented in the text. EPA Region IV Supplemental Guidance for Risk
Assessment (EPA, 1992) is used where appropriate.
The exposure point concentrations were calculated according to EPA Guidance (EPA, 1991a).
An upper 95 % confidence limit (UCL) was calculated and compared to the maximum detected
concentration of each chemical of concern per media. If a chemical was reported as a non-detect
in a sample, it was assumed to be present at one-half of the sample quantitation limit which was
included in the UCL determination. The method of calculating the UCL is shown in Appendix
H. The exposure point concentrations are presented in the Appendices A through F.
Doses, expressed as chronic daily intakes in milligrams of contaminant per kilogram of body
weight on a daily basis (mg/kg-day), are calculated for each exposure route applicable to the
current off-site residents, trespassers, and future on-site residents and workers. For all the
scenarios, doses are averaged over the number of days of exposure (years of exposure x 365
days/year) to evaluate chronic noncarcinogenic health effects, and over a lifetime (70 years x
365 days/year) to evaluate potential carcinogenic effects.

Revision: 3
Date: June 1994
The current trespasser scenario assumes a child (7-12) plays on-site 45 days/yr to be consistent
with EPA guidance for the age group. The future on-site worker is assumed to work at FCX
for 25 years.
The future resident scenario assumes that the FCX site is converted to residential use and that
an individual lives on the site for 30 years. This value represents the 90th percentile for time
spent at one residence. In addition, it is assumed that the residents take two weeks vacation per
year spending 350 days per year at home (EPA, 1991a). The future on-site worker is assumed
to work at one workplace.
Three age groups are evaluated for the residential scenario, and one age group, (a teenager) is
evaluated for the trespasser scenario. For the residential scenario, the three age groups include
a child 1-6, a child 7-12, and an adult. A body ,weight of 15 kg was used for the child 1-6
(EPA, 1991a). A body weight of27 kg was used for the child age 7-12 and was calculated from
the mean (50th percentile) body weight of male and female children reported for this age group
(EPA, 1985). A body weight of 70 kg was used for both the adult future worker and the adult
current and future resident (EPA, 1991a).
4.4.l Incidental Soil Ingestion
Incidental soil ingestion can result from placing soil-covered hands or objects in the mouth. Soil
ingestion is a potential route of exposure for the current trespasser, the off-site residents, the
future on-site residents, and on-site workers. Incid6ntal ingestion of sediment for current off-site
and future on-site child residents will have the sai'ne assumptions for potential exposure. The
exposure dose models and assumptions for the soil/sediment ingestion pathways are presented
in Table 4-2. However, sediment exposure point concentrations will be used when evaluating
the sediment pathway.
It has been estimated that children ages 1-6 incidentally ingest 200 mg of soil on a daily basis
and that individuals over the age of six ingest 100 mg of soil per day (EPA, 1991a). Therefore,
an incidental soil ingestion rate of 200 mg of soil per day was used for the child age 1-6, and
an ingestion rate of 100 mg/day was used for the children ages 7-12 and the adult resident. The
soil ingestion rates for the age groups take into account the ingestion of outdoor soil and indoor
dust and represent reasonable upper-bound residential exposure conditions. An incidental soil
ingestion rate of 50 mg/day was used for the future worker following current EPA guidance
(EPA, 1991a).

4.4.2 Dermal Absorption from Soil
The dermal absorption of substances, resulting from contact with surface soil, is a potential route
of exposure for all four receptors. The equation and assumptions used to calculate dermal
absorption doses are presented in Table 4-3.
The exposed skin surface areas for both scenarios a\-e based on the following body part-and-age
specific skin surface areas for males:
• Current Trespasser or 7-12 child:
-Arms, hands, one-half legs, feet (100% of exposure events)
• Future Worker:
-Hands, forearms (100% of exposure events)
• Adult Resident (On-Site and Off-Site):
-Arms, hands, lower legs, ~eet (50 % of exposure events)
-One-half arms, hands (50 % of exposure events)
• Child Resident 1-6 (On-Site and Off-Site):
-Arms, hands, one-half legs, feet (50 % of exposure events)
-One-half arms, hands (50 ')\, of exposure events)
The skin surface areas for the future worker are based on data for adults and include only hands
and forearms because all other areas are expected to be covered while working at the FCX site.
The skin surface areas presented in Table 4-3 for the children and adult future residents are
time-weighted because more exposure to surface soil is expected during the wanner months than
during the cooler months. Dermal exposure for the child 7-12 is 100% arms, hands, lower legs,
and feet due to activity level.
Absorption of soil-bound substances through the skin involves three complex processes. First,
the substance must desorb from the soil to an extent that the compound is available for
absorption. Second, the substance must penetrate' the first layer of skin and penneate through
the remaining layers. Third, the substance must be taken up by the microcirculation within the
skin. Only when all of these processes occur can' a substance be absorbed.
Information regarding the percentage of chemicals that can be absorbed from soil through the
skin was obtained from EPA Region IV. According to Regional guidance, a dermal absorption

should be used to evaluate inorganic chemicals (EPA, 1992).
4.4.3 Drinking Water Ingestion
Drinking water ingestion is considered to be a potential exposure route only for the adult and
children future residents because groundwater is not currently used for the Fex site. The
drinking water ingestion rates used for children and adult residents assume that all of his/her
daily water intake occurs at home. The equations and assumptions that were used to calculate
drinking water ingestion doses are presented in Table 4-4. The drinking water ingestion rate for
the adult resident is 2 L/day (EPA, 1991a). In the absence of data for children, it is assumed
that the child resident will ingest one-half (IL/day) of the adult amount.
4.4.4 Inhalation While Showering
Volatile organic compounds (VOes) may be released to indoor air through a variety of home
activities, including showering, cooking, dish washing, and laundering. Some researchers
believe that inhalation doses of voes through typical home water uses may be as great or
greater than doses from the ingestion of water. Based on experimental results for the transfer
of trichloroethene from water to air in the shower stall, McKone and Knezovich (1991) report
that inhalation exposures in showers could be equivalent to an ingestion contact of 1-4 liters.
Inhalation while showering is evaluated to account for dose of voes received from non-
ingestion uses. of water for the future adult and child residents. The dose from inhalation of
voes while showering is based on the maximum 'ingestion equivalent (2 liters) described by
McKone and Knezovich (1991). The groundwater ingestion model assumptions were multiplied
by the voe concentrations in groundwater to derive the voe exposure rate. For the purpose
of evaluating inhalation exposures, a voe is defined as any organic compound with a Henry's
Law constant of lE-05 atm-m3/mole or greater and with a molecular weight of less than
200 g/mole (EPA, 1991b).
4.4.5 Incidental Water Ingestion While Wading
It is possible that while wading in a stream a child might intentionally or unintentionally swallow
a small quantity of water. Ingestion of water while wading is only evaluated for the child age
7-12 because it is assumed that a child age 1-6 would be too young for this type of activity. The
model and assumptions that were used to calculate doses through ingestion of surface water are
presented in Table 4-5.

The amount of water that is ingested is likely to vary considerably, depending on the behavioral
patterns of the child. Some children may not ingest any water, while others might drink directly
from the stream. In the absence of information or guidance concerning the ingestion of water
for a shallow stream, it is assumed that the quantity of water ingested by a child is equal to 0.05
L/hour, the ingestion rate that has been recommended by EPA for the incidental ingestion of
water while swimming (EPA, 1989a). This ingestion rate is highly conservative because the
stream located on the FCX site is much shallower than a typical swimming pool.
4.4.6 Dermal Absorption While Wading
Dermal absorption of chemicals while wading is evaluated only for the 7-12 year old child
trespasser, current off-site resident, and future resident. 'Dermal absorption of chemicals in
water may occur when substances are absorbed across the skin. Table 4-6 presented the model
and assumptions used to calculate doses through dermal absorption while wading. The exposed
skin surface area of 4,453cm2 for the child age 7-12 was calculated as described above for the
dermal absorption of contaminants from soil.
4.4. 7 Incidental Sediment Ingestion
Refer to Section 4.4.1.
4.4.8 Dermal Absorption from Sediment
Dermal absorption from sediments is only evaluated for the 7-12 year old child for the reasons
stated for the incidental ingestion of water while wading pathway. The child age 7-12 is
expected to have dermal exposure to sediments as he/she walks through or plays in the stream
located on the FCX site. The exposure dose model and assumptions for estimating the dermal
I dose exposure rate from sediment are presented in Table 4-7.
The exposed skin areas used to evaluate dermal contact with sediment are the same as those
described above for dermal contact with soil. The: dermal absorption factors described above
for the soil pathway will also be used to estimate the doses from contact with sediment.
4.5 UNCERTAINTIES IN EXPOSURE ASSESSMENT
The estimated average daily exposure levels to chemical contaminants at the FCX Site were
generated with a number of uncertainties. These uncertainties are generally inherent in risk
assessments associated with remedial investigations, particularly because of the type of and

amount of data that can be collected in the short durations of sampling episodes. The most
important of these uncertainties are summarized below:
•
•
•
•
Although exposure levels were based on measured concentrations in the media of
concern, these values are uncertain due to limited sampling and analytical
variation. To account for this uncertainty, the upper 95th percentile confidence
limit of the mean concentration value was used in dose calculations. This
assumption may result in a conservative estimate of the actual dose.
When deriving concentrations of chemicals, chemicals that were not detected in
a given sample were assumed to be at one-half the quantitation limit (QL). This
assumption may lead to an overestimation of dose especially when the QL is
significantly high.
The assumption that soil concentrations will remain constant over time
overestimates the lifetime exposure because chemicals dissolve in rainwater and
migrate from the soil, degrade as a result of biological action, and otherwise are
subject to a variety of fate processes.
Dermal uptake of chemicals from soil is especially difficult to estimate since this
factor is dependent of the characteristics of both the specific chemical and the
soil. The values of absorbance ~mployed to estimate dermal uptake are
conservative, possibly leading to an overestimation of dose.

TOXICITY ASSESSMENT

This section identifies the health-related guidelines used in Section 6 to evaluate the potential
health risks posed by exposures estimated in Section 4.
I
5.1 CARCINOGENIC VERSUS NONCARCINOGENIC HEALTH EFFECTS CRITERlA
In evaluating potential health risks, both carcinogenic and noncarcinogenic health effects must
be considered. Excessive exposure to any pollutants can potentially produce noncarcinogenic
health effects, while the potential for carcinogenic effects is limited to exposure to certain
substances. The potential for producing carcinogenic effects is limited to substances that have
been shown to be carcinogenic in animals and/or· humans. Therefore, it was necessary to
identify and select noncancer toxicity values for each of the selected compounds evaluated and
to identify and select cancer toxicity values on! y for those compounds that demonstrate
carcinogenicity. Both sets of toxicity values (cancer slope factors and reference doses) are
derived through an evaluation of the relationship between the dose of a contaminant administered
or received and the incidence of adverse health effects in the exposed population. The EPA has
performed this evaluation on numerous chemicals and has published the corresponding toxicity
values, which have undergone extensive peer review. In accordance with EPA's Risk
Assessment Guidance for Superfund (EPA, 1989a), these EPA documents were used as the
source of toxicity values for this risk assessment. In order of priority, the following sources
were consulted:
•
•
•
The Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS)
The Health Effects Assessment Sum~ary Tables (HEAST)
Th_e Environmental Criteria and Assessment Office (ECAO)
5.1.1 Carcinogenic Health Criteria
Criteria used in the evaluation of carcinogenic risks in Section 6 are cancer slope factors (CSFs)
developed by the U.S. EPA. In developing CSFs, the U.S. EPA assumes the risk of cancer is
linearly related to dose. All cancer data. obtained from epidemiological studies or laboratory
animal studies are relatively high doses; these high. doses are extrapolated down to extremely
small doses, with a cancer risk remaining until the dose is zero. The linear approach assumes
that even a small number of molecules (possibly even a single molecule) of a carcinogen may
cause changes in a single cell that could result in the cell dividing in an uncontrolled manner,

eventually leading to cancer. It should be emphasized that the approach used to develop slope
factors leads to a plausible upper limit to the risk, and does not necessarily provide a realistic
prediction. The true risk is unknown, and may be as low as zero. The range of risks, defined
as the upper limit as detem1ined by the model and the lower limit of zero, needs to be
understood by the appropriate decision makers (U.S. EPA, 1989a).
There is some dispute as to whether the extrapolation from high to low doses is a realistic
approach. It has been argued that at low doses cells may have the ability to detoxify carcinogens
or repair cell-induced damage. Although it is important to recognize the possibility that some
carcinogens may have a threshold for toxicity, ttjis issue is not evaluated in this analysis.
Because carcinogens are usually the driving force in the assessment of risk, it is important that
this and other risk assessments use the currently accbpted health-related benchmarks, so that the
predicted risks can be reasonably compared to othet risk assessments.
5.1.2 Noncarcinogenic Health Criteria
The criteria used to evaluate the potential for non~arcinogenic health effects are generically
referred to in this document as reference doses (RfDs). The term RID was developed by U.S.
EPA to refer to a daily intake of a chemical to which an individual can be chronically exposed
without any expectation of noncarcinogenic adverse health effects occurring (e.g., organ damage,
biochemical alterations, birth defects). The term is used in this assessment to apply to any
established or derived criterion fitting this description.
Unlike the approach used in evaluating carcinogenic risks, for noncarcinogenic health effects it
is assumed that a threshold dose exists below which there is no potential for toxicity. A no-
observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) is that dose <1.t which no toxic effects are observed in any
of the test subjects. A variety of regulatory agencies have used the threshold approach for
noncarcinogenic substances in the development of health effects criteria, including worker-related
threshold limit values (TLVs), air quality standards, Food and Drug Administration (FDA) food
additive regulations, and drinking water standards.
5.2 CANCER SLOPE FACTORS (CSFs)
Each chemical that has evidence of carcinogenicity in animals and/or humans and is classified
as a carcinogen by U.S. EPA is considered in this evaluation to be carcinogenic (IRIS, 1993).
The U.S. EPA has developed a weight-of-evi4ence classification system for potential
carcinogens. Using this system, chemicals are classified as either Group A, Bl, B2, C, D, or
E. Group A chemicals are classified as human carcinogens with sufficient evidence from

epidemiologic studies to support a casual association between human exposure and cancer.
Group Bl and B2 chemicals are classified as probable· human carcinogens. Group Bl applies
to chemicals with limited evidence of carcinogenicity in humans from epidemiologic studies, and
Group B2 applies to chemicals with inadequate evidence of carcinogenicity in humans but
sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity in animals. Group C applies to chemicals with limited
evidence of carcinogenicity in animals. Group D chemicals are not classifiable as to human
carcinogenicity (inadequate or no evidence). Group E applies to chemicals that show no
evidence of carcinogenicity in humans where there are at least two adequate animal tests· in
different species or there are both epidemiologic arid animal studies showing no evidence for
carcinogenic potential. The carcinogenic chemicals of concern and their corresponding U.S.
EPA carcinogenicity categories and CSFs are presented in Table 5-1.
5.3 REFERENCE DOSES FOR NONCARCINOGENIC EFFECTS
RIDs, like CSFs, are developed for specific exposure routes. RIDs have been derived by U.S.
EPA for a number of chemicals for the ingestion and/or inhalation routes, but none have been
developed for the dermal route (see Section 5.4).
In developing an RID, an experimental exposure level is selected from the toxicological database
for a chemical of interest that represents the highest level tested at which "no adverse effect"
was demonstrated. This NOAEL is the key piece of information used as the basis for the
scientific evaluation of the risk posed to humans by a systemic toxicant. When more than one
toxic effect is produced by a chemical, the critical level used for the development of an RID is
the lowest reported NOAEL.
In general terms, the RID is a benchmark dose derived from the NOAEL by consistent
application of order-of-magnitude uncertainty factors and additional modifying factors to account
for professional assessment of the scientific uncertainties of the study and database from which
the NOAEL was developed.
When available, route-specific RIDs were used for each pollutant. Table 5-1 presents the RIDs
for each of the indicator pollutants. Route-specific RIDs were generally available for the
ingestion route of exposure. Dermal route-specific RIDs were calculated based on Region IV
EPA guidance as described in Section 5 .4.
5.4 DERMAL SLOPE FACTORS AND REFERENCE DOSES
The dermal exposure at this site requires dermal RIDs and CSFs. Since the U.S. EPA has not
developed dermal RIDs or CSFs, these critical toxicity values were derived based on available

oral Rills and CSFs. This derivation involves converting the oral Rills and CSFs to absorbed
dose (using oral absorption factors) rather than the _administered dose since dermal intakes are
calculated as absorbed doses. Based on U.S. EPA' health effects assessment documents, oral
absorption factors are 0.8 for volatile organics, 0.5 for semi-VOCs, pesticides, and dioxins, and
0.2 for inorganic compounds. Approximate values (or dermal Rills and CSFs were derived by
simple extrapolation from oral RfDs and CSFs. For Rills, this was done by multiplying the oral
RID by the oral absorption factor. For CSFs, this :was done by dividing the oral CSF by the
oral absorption factor. This approach has a high level of associated uncertainty, as does any
route to route extrapolation. The results of these extrapolations are presented in Table 5-1.
5.5 UNCERTAINTIES IN TOXICITY ASSESSMENT
Some of the uncertainties associated with the toxicity assessment include:
•
•
•
•
•
•
The slope factor for the evaluation of ~iox.ins is based on 2,3,7,8-TCDD, and the
rest of the dioxins are assigned an equivalency factor to adjust them to
2,3,7,8-TCDD.
Since specific data concerning synergi~tic or antagonistic effects are not available,
EPA and other Federal agencies require additional individual chemical risk
values.
EPA may change its determination of. the toxicity of a chemical as more data is
obtained.
The slope factors derived by EPA usirig a linearized multi-stage model reflect an
upper-bound limit of the potency of the chemical. As a result, the calculated
cancer risk represents a plausible upper limit to the risk. The actual risk is
unknown, but it is likely to be lower than the predicted risk (EPA, 1989a; EPA,
1989b) and may be as low as zero.
There is uncertainty due to the use of default gastrointestinal absorption factors
to derive dermal slope factors and reference doses from oral toxicity. This leads
to uncertainty in the risk estimates from the dermal exposure route.
Dermal exposure to PAHs can potentially result in skin tumors as a result of
direct (topical) contact with the skin, as well as systemic tumors due to dermal
absorption into the bloodstream. Many PAHs have been shown to cause skin
tumors in laboratory animals following topical (local) application, and though

quantitative data are not available for humans, prolonged occupational exposure
to PAH mixtures has been associated with skin cancer (ATSDR, 1989).
However, in the absence of an EPA-iecommended approach for.deriving dermal
slope factors for localized tumorigenic effects, the evaluation of risk posed by
dermal contact with PAHs is limited i.n this assessment to that posed by systemic
absorption. Therefore, this risk assessment was limited to evaluating the potential
for development of systemic tumors. There is inherent uncertainty associated
with assessing carcinogenic risks from dermal exposure to PAHs.
As an interim procedure, until more definitive Agency guidance is established,
Region IV has adopted a toxicity equivalency factor (TEP) methodology for
carcinogenic PAHs based on each compound's relative potency to the potency of
benzo(a)pyrene (BaP). As a result, the following TEFs were used to convert each
cPAH concentration to an equivalent concentration of BaP: benzo(a)anthracene,
benzo(b)fluoranthene, benzo(k)fluoranthene, and indeno(l ;2,3-cd)pyrene -0.1;
benzo(a)pyrene and dibenzo(a,h)anthracene -1.0; and chrysene -0.01.

SECTION 6
ECOLOGICAL RISK ASSESSMENT
This ecological risk assessment provides an assessment of potential impacts to ecological
receptors due to potential exposures to the chemicals of concern released from the FCX -
Statesville (FCX) Site. The objectives of this ecological risk assessment are to identify and
estimate the potential ecological impacts associated with the FCX Site.
The technical guidance for performance of the ecological risk assessment comes primarily from
the following sources: Ecological Risk Assessment (U.S. EPA, 1986), Ecological Assessment
of Hazardous Waste Sites: A Field and Laboratories Reference (U.S. EPA, 1989a). Risk
Assessment Guidance for Supeifund -Volume II, Environmental Evaluation Manual (U.S. EPA,
1989b), and Summary Repon on Issues in Ecological Risk Assessment (U.S. EPA, 1991). Other
information sources were used to assist in this report preparation and are included in the
references section.
6.2 SITE DESCRIPTION
The FCX Site is located on Highway 90 approximately 1.5 miles west of downtown Statesville,
Iredell County, North Carolina. The area is characterized by the presence of light and heavy
industry, small businesses, and residential neighborhoods. The Site comprises 5.5 acres and is
bounded by the Norfolk-Southern Railroad and Burlington Industries (formerly Beaunit Mills)
to the north, the Carnation Milk Company to the west, a small business/residential area
immediately south of West Front Street, and a pre-fabricated utility shed sales lot on the east
side of Phoenix Street. The Site is predominantly covered with buildings or low penneability
surfaces (pavement and compacted gravel). Grass is located on a narrow strip along the
sidewalk and between the eastern fence and Phoenix Street.
6.2.1 Site History
FCX operated as an agricultural supply and distribution center from 1940 to 1986. The FCX
facility was licensed to operate as a formulating, packaging, warehousing, and distribution center
for farm chemicals, (primarily pesticides and fertilizers), as well as a milling and distribution
center of feed grains. Repackaging of liquid pesticides ceased in 1966. Dust repackaging was

discontinued in 1969. In 1966, approximately 10;000 pounds of DDT, DDD, and possibly
liquid chlordane were allegedly buried in two trenches approximately IO-feet deep. In 1989,
EPA unsuccessfully attempted to locate these trencht':s (the trenches were allegedly covered with
six feet of on-site soils, and an 8-inch reinforced concrete floor was poured over the area for the
warehouse). Currently the Site is unoccupied.
6.2.2 Study Area
This assessment focuses on the impacts of chemicals found in the surface water, sediments, and
surface soil to ecological receptors. Operable Unit; 3 will address any ecological groundwater
concerns. Sample locations for surface water and sediment were collected from a drainage ditch
' which runs north of the Site along the railroad tracks, from the unnamed tributary, and from
Third Creek (Figure 2-13). The ditch does not drai~ directly into any perennial or intennittent
stream. The unnamed tributary to the Third Creek: is the closest downgradient surface water.
It is located 3,300 feet south of FCX. It feeds the Third Creek, which is classified as a class
C water, with the best usage listed as fish and wildlife propagation, secondary recreation,
agriculture, and other uses. There is not a good migration pathway for on-site runoff to reach
the unnamed tributary unless a major rain event flooded the ditch and.the runoff flowed overland
(i.e., across the street), although this is an unlikely sJenario. A more viable pathway for surface
water and sediment contamination may result from gfoundwater discharging to surface water via
natural springs in the vicinity. Surface soil sample~ were collected in three areas as described
in Section 2. The sample interval of 0 to 12 inches is applicable to on-site and off-site
ecological concerns.
6.3 DATA EVALUATION
The objective of this section is to characterize the extent of site contamination in all affected
media on which the risk assessment is based using sampling data completed in Phase I and II
of the Remedial Investigation (RI) for the FCX-Statesville Site. A Phase I RI for the FCXS was
conducted in June 1991 (EPA, 1991). Various media were sampled including: groundwater,
surface soil, subsurface soil, surface water, and sediment. The soil samples were divided into

Section: 6
Revision: 3
Date: June 1994
Areas 1, 2, and 3 are shown in Figure 2-10. The results of the data evaluation are used in both the human health and ecological risk scenarios for ,the potential receptors. It should be noted
that potential chemicals of concern may differ between the human health and the ecological risk
assessments because of differences in expected potential exposure and toxicity to designated
target receptors. Tables 3-1 to 3-5B summarize, by medium, the analytical results of the site-
related chemicals.
6.3.1 Chemicals of Potential Concern
Groundwater, surface water, sediment, surface soil, and subsurface soil were sampled at the
FCXS site for organics, pesticides/PCBs, and inorganic chemicals. The analytical results of the
sampling are summarized in Table 3-1 for groundwater, Table 3-2 for surface water, Table 3-3 ' for sediment, Table 3-4 for surface soil, and Table 3-5 for subsurface soil. The selection
process for contaminants of concern in individual media is discussed in Section 3. The data
summary tables were reproduced from the Phase I and II Remedial Investigation Analytical Data
(EPA, 1992), and the July 1993 investigation (EPA, 1993).
6.4 EXPOSURE ASSESSMENT
6.4.1 Habitat Evaluation
The initial steps in the exposure assessment are to identify the habitats that may be affected by
chemicals of potential concern and to determine :appropriate receptor organisms for those
habitats. Currently, minimal terrestrial habitats exist on-site, and it is unlikely that the future
use would include a natural habitat rather than habitats associated with residential areas. The
FCXS site consists primarily of buildings, asphalt pavement, and packed gravel. Grasses occupy
the remaining area (Area 2, between the sidewalk and street, and east of the fence). There are
no on-site bodies of water.
6.4.2 Endangered or Threatened of Special Concern Species
The U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service has, at present, no officially
proposed endangered or threatened species for the Site area (Iredell County). Three species are
"candidate" species. These are:
Bog turtle
Tall larkspur
Clemmys muhlenbergi

Revision: 3
Date: June 1994
The species listed for Iredell County are not expected to occur at the FCX Site due to
inappropriate habitats. Therefore, the species were pot considered to be at risk. No site-specific
information on endangered or threatened species was available from the State of North Carolina.
6.4.3 Exposure Pathways
As part of the Remedial Investigation, groundwater, _surface soils, subsurface soil, surface water, and sediment samples were taken at and near the Site. Due to the minimal habitat available, a
qualitative assessment of exposure and possible adverse effects for the Site was evaluated on! y
for surface water and sediment. Aquatic life may be exposed to contaminants of concern by
direct contact with contaminated surfa~e water and sediment and by ingestion of contaminated
sediments in food. However, surface water runoff into downgradient surface water bodies is unlikely (as mentioned in Section 2.2.2). In addition, exposure and toxicity data (dose-response
data) are seldom available to assess exposure via all of these pathways.
6.5 TOXICITY ASSESSMENT
To qualitatively determine whether surface water contaminants might pose a risk to aquatic life,
North Carolina Surface Water Quality Standards _and U.S. EPA Region IV Waste Division
(WD), freshwater surface water screening values (January, 1993) were compared to Site concentrations (Table 6-1). EPA screening values,are based upon the Ambient Water Quality
Criteria.
Site sediment concentrations compared to U.S. EPA Region IV WD sediment screening values
(January, 1993) are shown in Table 6-2. EPA sediment screening values are based upon a
NOAA report on biological effects of sediment-sorbed contamination (NOAA, 1990) describes
an environmental Effects Range-Low (ER-L) value as a concentration that is the lower 10th

percentile of a range of sediment concentrations in which biological effects had been observed
at many sites across the United States. The Effects Range-Median (ER-M) value is the 50th
percentile of the range of effects data.
6.6 RISK CHARACTERIZATION
The concentrations of detected pesticides exceed the sediment screening values, indicating a possible adverse effect on aquatic biota. However, most of the detected pesticides were found · at the northeast corner of the pad and/or the head of the south tributary. Pesticides were not
detected in sediments farther downstream in the south tributary or in Third Creek; it seems that
pesticide contaminants have not migrated that far (which seems logical, in view of the limited
potential for migration via the surface water runoff pathway). In this case, the biota of downstream surface water bodies would not be at risk via exposure to sediments contaminants.
6.7 SUMMARY
Due to the minimal habitats present on-site (e.g. surface soil pathway), a qualitative ecological
assessment was performed using surface water and sediment data. After comparing mean
surface water concentrations to N. C. State Standards and Region IV chronic screening values, only two chemicals, dieldrin and alpha chlordane, exceeded the values by one order of
magnitude at sample location 020-SW (Table 6-1). Consequently, these pesticides may have an adverse effect on aquatic biota.
In the sediments, contaminants exceeded the Region IV screening values for pesticides, only
slightly in the metals, and not at all for the semi-volatiles (Table 6-2). Pesticides were at least
an order of magnitude higher than the screening values, indicating a potential for adverse effects
on the aquatic biota. The maximum detections for the inorganics were only slightly elevated over the ER-M, indicating a low potential for adverse effects. All semi-volatile compounds
detected in sediments were between the ER-L and the ER-M, showing limited potential for
adverse effects to the aquatic biota.
6.8 UNCERTAINTIES
• The Region IV guidance is only a screening tool and not a standard.
• No site-specific information on endangered or threatened species was available
from the State of North Carolina.

RISK CHARACTERIZATION
Risk Assessment Report
FCX-OU2 Statesville Site
Section: 7
Revision: 3
Date: June 1994
The objective of this risk characterization is to apply the toxicity infonnation to the Site-specific
reasonable maximum exposure data. The result is a hypothetical upper bound regulatory risk.
This hypothetical risk value includes the overestimations inherent in the exposure assessment,
the hazard assessment, and the toxicity assessment.
Human health risks for carcinogenic and noncarcinogenic contaminants are discussed separately
because of the different toxicologic endpoints. and the different methods employed in
characterizing the risks. Hypothetical human ! health risks associated with exposure to
carcinogenic contaminants are calculated by multiplying contaminant exposure levels (i.e.,
chronic daily intakes) by the corresponding cancer slope factors. That is, for exposure to a
particular contaminant through a particular exposure route, Hypothetical Risk = Chronic Daily
Intake x Slope Factor. The total combined hypothetical cancer risk is then .estimated by
summing the risk estimates derived for each chemical and each exposure route. This approach
is specified in U.S. EPA guidelines on chemical mixtures, i.e., risks from separate chemicals
are required to be added (EPA, 1989c). This approach assumes independence of action by the
contaminants (i.e., that there are no synergistic or antagonistic interactions) and that all of the
chemicals have the same toxicological endpoint (cancer). Child and adult risks are summed to
provide a hypothetical estimate of total lifetime risk.
According to EPA policy, an acceptable total individual risk resulting from exposures at a
Superfund Site may range between IO"' to 10·•.
For noncarcinogenic contaminants, a hazard index (HI) approach is followed. In this approach,
a hazard quotient (HQ) is the ratio of the chronic; daily intake (CDI) of a parti,cular chemical
through a particular exposure route to the reference dose (RID) for that chemical. An HI is the
sum of the HQs for a particular exposure route, or the sum across multiple exposure routes for
an individual receptor. In other words, this approach assumes that multiple exposures could
result in an adverse effect and that the magnitude of the effect is proportional to the sum of the
ratios of the estimated exposures to the acceptable exposures. The assumption of additivity is
applicable to contaminants that induce the same type of effect. When the calculated HI exceeds
a value of 1.0 for any individual contaminant, or the HI exceeds 1.0 for multiple contaminants
or multiple exposure routes, there may be conceri for a potential, health risk. If the HI is

greater than unity, contaminants may be re-evaluated by critical effect, and separate Hls may
be calculated by type of effect.
7.1 HYPOTHETICAL RISK RESULTS
Hypothetical carcinogenic risk was evaluated for:
• Current off-site residents
• Current on-site trespassers
• Future on-site residents
• Future worker with the facility present
• Future worker with the facility demolished
The exposure assumptions were presented in Section 4.0. The risk calculations are presented
in Appendices A-F: The groundwater calculatio~s are in Appendix A; the surface water
calculations are in Appendix B; the sediment calculations are in Appendix C; the Area 1
calculations are in Appendix D; the Area 2 calculations are in Appendix E; and the Area 3
calculations are in Appendix F. Table 7-1 provides a summary of the carcinogenic risks found
in the Appendices.
7.1.1 Carcinogenic Risk
The carcinogenic risks for current off-site residents :were determined from exposure to off-site I surface soil, Area 1 (Appendix D). The total cariogenic risk for an off-site child resident (sum of ingestion and dermal contact) is 3E-5. This risk represents an excess incremental probability
of developing cancer of 3 chances in 100,000. The total carcinogenic risk to the off-site child
resident age 7-12 (most likely candidate to trespass) is the sum of the risks to off-site surface soil, surface water, sediment, and on-site surface soil which equals lE-5 or 1 chance in 100,000.
The total carcinogenic risk for an off-site adult is lE-5 which represents 1 chance in 100,000.
However, the risk to the off-site resident (6E-5) is reaching the upper limit for acceptable risk
levels.
The hypothetical future residents were assumed to be, exposed to the surface soil, surface water,
sediment, and groundwater. For the future residential scenario to be possible, the FCX facility
would have to be demolished, thereby exposing surface soil in Areas 2 and 3 to the residents.

Section: 7
Revision: 3
Date: June 1994
The total carcinogenic risks for the hypothetical future resident summed over the child 1-6, the
child 7-12, and the adult, are 9E-4. The risks represent an excess incremental probability of
developing cancer of 9 chances in 10,000 for the future resident. The risks include the
incremental ingestion and dermal contact of surface soil from Areas 2 and 3, ingestion and
inhalation of groundwater, and incidental ingestion 'and dermal contact with surface water and
sediment. Approximately 90 % of the Area 3 soil risk is from exposure to dioxins/furans
(sampled under the present facility which would be demolished in a future residential scenario),
while 80% of the risk in Area 2 comes from expos,ure to carcinogenic PAHs. However, the
railroad tracks present at the northern boundary of Area 2 are most likely the source of the
PAHs. Carcinogenic PAHs are common contaminarits in wood preservers used for railroad ties
(Murphy, 1979).
The total carcinogenic risks for ingestion, and inhalation of volatile compounds present in
groundwater for hypothetical future child (1-6), child 1(7-12), and adult residents are 4E-4. Forty
percent of the risks are contributed to risk assocjated with volatile organic contaminants,
primarily 1, 1-dichloroethene and tetrachloroethane. Approximately 35 % of the risk is attributed
to beryllium which was detected in five groundwater samples. The remaining 25 % of the risk
is associated with the pesticides. Risk to hypothetical future on-site residents with the volatile
organics and beryllium risks removed is approximately 3E-5.
Future on-site workers have two possible exposure scenarios; (1) if the facility remains and (2)
if the facility is demolished. With the buildings present, the future worker would be exposed
to Area 2 soil presenting a risk of developing cancer of 1 chance in 100,000, lE-5. If the
building is removed, there is the possible exposure to Areas 2 and 3. The risk associated with
incidental ingestion and dermal contact to those soils is 4E-5, or 4 chances in 100,000.
Air monitoring was conducted in the FCX facility in three locations during two consecutive 24
hour periods. The results were evaluated against the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) established limits. These federal limits are referred to as pennissible
exposure limits (PELs) determined with a time weighted average (40 hr/week, 8 hr/day
scenario), which are referenced criteria for EPA remedial activity. None of the sample data
exceeded the PELs. However, further evaluation will be given in the event the on-site building
remains in the future.

7 .1.2 Noncarcinogenic Risks
Risk Assessment Report
FCX-OU2 Statesville Site
Section: 7 -
Revision: 3
Date: June 1994
Noncarcinogenic risks were evaluated for the same population as in Section 7. I. I:
• Current off-site residents
• Current on-site trespassers
• Future on-site residents
• Future worker with the facility present
• Future worker with the facility demolish'ed
The HI for the current off-site population (adults, child age 1-6 and child age 7-12, and the
future workers) exceeded the acceptable HI limit of 1.0 (Table 7-2). The current off-site adult
resi~ent had the lowest HI at 0.06 while the highest was estimated for the current off-site child
resident/trespasser at 1.0. In all, the total for the current off-site resident equaled 1.6 which rounds to 2.0, exceeding unity. A large portion of this risk was due to ingestion of manganese from surface water in the current off-site child resident/trespasser pathway. The future
residential HI also exceeded 1.0. The future adult had a in of 14 especially due to manganese
ingestion in groundwater. The future child residert 1-6 had a HI of 35 also because of
manganese ingestion in groundwater. Four chemic,als, barium, vanadium, manganese, and
tetrachloroethene, provide almost 70 % of the risk contributed by groundwater. The future child
age 7-12 had a HI of 38 primarily caused by metals · (particularly manganese) and
tetrachloroethene in groundwater.
7.1.3 Lead Uptake Calculation
As mentioned in Section 3.0, risks associated with exposure to lead were not calculated since it currently does not have any approved toxicity values. However, the Lead Model Version 0.5, a computer software application, was used to determine the uptake of lead and predict blood-lead levels in children ages 1-6 exposed to lead in air, die,t, drinking water, indoor dust, soil, and
paint.
The Model is designed to accept site specific variables where applicable and provides default
values where data is not available. An acceptable Federal lead level in groundwater is 15 µg/L.
Groundwater lead levels averaged 17.4 µg/L at FCX., Therefore, it was necessary to run the
lead model. Model calculations are provided in Appendix G. The model results show that the
geometric mean blood-lead level is 4.13 µg!L, and, therefore, lead is not a contaminant of

7.2 UNCERTAINTIES IN THE RISK CHARACTERIZATION
There are uncertainties associated with summing cancer risks or hazard indices for different chemicals, including the following:
•
•
The dose additivity assumption ignores possible synergism or antagonism among
chemicals and differences in mechanisms of action and metabolism. It is not
known what effects chemicals have on the total risk numbers.
Risk calculations for dermal exposure to all compounds assume a relationship
between the oral toxicity values and the extrapolated dermal value.

SECTION 8
REMEDIAL GOAL OPTIONS
Risk Assessment Report
FCX-OU2 Statesville Site
Section: 8
Revision: 3
Date: June 1994
·,he methods used in conducting this risk assessment are those presented in the U.S. EPA Risk
Assessment Guidance for Superfund -Volume I (Human Health Evaluation Manual, Part A and
Part B) (EPA, 1989a, 1992b), and the Volume I Supplemental Guidance (U.S. EPA, 1991c).
Based on the risk characterization presented in Section 7 of the risk assessment, the contaminants
presenting an elevated risk to human health will be identified. Remedial goals will be developed
for risks at lE-4, lE-5, and lE-6.
EPA Region IV has established soil remediation levels for total pesticides of 1 ppm based on the
State of North Carolina background levels for pesticides which is I ppm. EPA Region IV
asserts that reducing total pesticide levels to I ppm will not only achieve a 95 percent reduction
of pesticides in soils but will also achieve goals for groundwater protection in conjunction with
the OU! ROD.
The substances considered in the preceding risk analysis can be evaluated through further
calculation to derive remedial goals for soil based on the exposure model scenarios previously
employed in Section 4. The action levels for consideration of noncarcinogenic effects may be
derived by dividing the exposure concentrations in soil by the HI. For example, if the starting
concentration of a given substance was 10 ppm and ·the HI was 5, then the health risk-based
action level would be 10/5 or 2 ppm.
Similarly, for carcinogenic effects, if the exposure concentration was 5 ppm of a given substance
and the calculated cancer risk was 5 in 1,000,000, the resulting 1 in 1,000,000 health risk-based
action level would be 1 ppm, and the 1 in 10,000 health risk-based action level would be 100 ppm. If the risk was only 5 in 10,000,000 for a starting concentration of 5 ppm, the resulting
action levels would be 10 ppm and 1,000 ppm. Note that this approach for derivation of action
levels ignores additivity of toxic effects, both noncarcinogenic and carcinogenic.
Table 8-1 contains the health risk-based action levels for substances which are present in the
three soil sample areas. All soil exposures were added for each population to represent the residents' risk levels used in determining remedial goal options. In area 1, arsenic, beryllium,
benzo(a)pyrene, dibenzo(a,h)anthracene, and dioxins (TEQ) exceeded lE-6 risk. In area 2, six

chemicals exceeded the lE-6 risk: arsenic; beryllium; benzo(b,k)fluoranthene; benzo(a)pyrene; dibenzo(a,h)anthracene; and dioxins (TEQ). In area 3, benzo(a)pyrene, pentachlorophenol, and dioxins (TEQ) exceeded lE-6 risk. Concentrations are shown for 1/10,000, 1/100,000, and 1/1,000,000 target risk levels for those carcinogenic substances to aid in decision making concerning the level of cleanup appropriate within the target cancer risk based range.
Table 8-2 contains health-based action levels for substances which exceeded the carcinogenic risk of lE-6 for the groundwater medium. Once again, remedial goal options were based on the summation of risks across groundwater exposures and populations for the resident. Beryllium, 1, 1-dichloroethene, tetrachloroethene, heptachlor epoxide, alpha-BHC, carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, beta-BHC, gamma-BHC, dieldrin, gamma chlordane/2, and alpha chlordane/2 were the chemicals exceeding a lE-6 risk for residents' exposure to groundwater. Remedial goals are shown for 1/10,000, 1/100,000, and 1/1,000,000 target risk levels, as well as North Carolina Drinking Water Standards and Federal Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs).
Table 8-3 contains health-based action levels for substances which exceeded the noncarcinogenic HI of 1.0 in the groundwater pathway. Once again, the most conservative pathway was chosen for remedial goal modeling (in this case the 7-12 year old receptor). The chemicals with risks
of 0.1 or greater in this pathway with a HI greater than 1.0 are as follows: barium, vanadium, manganese, tetrachloroethene, heptachlor epoxid~, dieldrin, gamma-chlordane/2, alpha-chlordane/2, and carbon tetrachloride.

SAMPLE CALCULATION FOR EXPOSVRE POINT CONCENTRATION
._Reasonable Maximum Exposure
Arithmetic means and upper 95 % confidence limits of the means will be calculated for use in
the risk calculations according to EPA Region IV guidance.
The standard equation for Calculation of the 95 % upper confidence limit (U95) is:
where: X = . arithmetic mean of the log-transformed data
e = constant (natural log)
H = statistic (from table of H values)
n = sample size
s = standard deviation of sample
This equation assumes that the medium-specific data are log normally distributed.
